I installed the cab and it fixed the "1 hour off" issue (this week it went on at the right time every day).

I will update you if the problem returns next week, when summer time begins in Brazil (19/10).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Install this CAB as well. It's the Microsoft provided fix for a daylight savings bug. Then start up Klaxon and set up your alarm.

when i should change the alarmsignal of old alarm, i cant, but if i done a new one it works:S
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vijaydesor:
hi, great app ..... but is there any way of changing the default alarm tone?

Or can you point me to what the dafault alarm is and what folder it's in.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DomSim:
sure there is, while editing your alarm click the lower left button, that brings up a file explorer, navigate to the windows folder, and you will find the sound files after scrolling down the list.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] carloshdez:
It would be great to have independent volume controls for each alarm, would it be possible?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hyann:
great work!this is the alarm that will work for me for years

one bug,however

when the alarm goes off and i hit the power button,the alarm silences.

later on, be it hours or minutes later, i turn on the power button and the alarm tone goes off again

the best solution would be to disable the hardware power button when the alarm goes off

thanks again!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] schmeichler:
hyann: sounds like mine - maybe this is a more general issue with screen turned off...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jurjen:
Hi Koush,

Thanks for this great app. I only have one problem. After the first alarm time it happens that the phones start vibrating after the snooze period and not giving the alarm sound. I also use Sensorlock, but without the vibration option. Do you have any idea what causes this? There are also spontanuous vibrations after the first alarm. Sometimes once, somtimes two times in the row.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bennec83:
I have read as much of the thread as i can but i cant seem to find the answer im looking for, or maybe it is that no-one has asked!!

is it possible to replicate an alarm?

i usually go to bed around 2-3 am, and i set 3 different alarms to wake me, but every time i create a new alarm the time displays the current time.

would it be possible to create an alarm based on an existing alarm, and when creating a new alarm could the time displayed be the time of the last alarm set and not the current time?

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] m00moo:
Hiya mate,

Nice app, although still very confusing to use first time as the buttons on the bottom have no clear indication as to what they are used for until you hit them and fiddle around for a while.

(First time i hit those buttons nothing happend for about 10 seconds, So i kept hitting them - and yes im running one of the latest ROMS)

but very good work on the skinnable side and +rep for improvments to last version!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
No, there is no copy feature. Why don't you just set your snooze and expire so you don't need to use 3 alarms?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Version 2.0.0.21

Fixed crash bug that would happen when browsing a directory filled with many sound files.

Changed the Klaxon icon to something nicer looking. (Requires restart, Windows Mobile caches icons)

The OpenFileDialog now shows the appropriate size folder icon for your resolution.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jonorb:
Start week on monday?

Thank you for a very very nice app. I have only one request. Is it possible to have an option where you can select to start the week on monday? :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] m00moo:
uninstalled previous and installed latest but icons the same.

have you not updated or do i need to clear the cache?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
You need to restart. Windows Mobile caches the icons until soft reset. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
i'm still getting problems where klaxon ignores the time and the alarm goes off an hour late.. i know this is a windows mobile problem as some of my old calendar appointments are out by an hour too, but can't klaxon just use the actual time? the time my diamond says is always correct. i can't trust klaxon at the moment..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
It's a Windows Mobile Daylight Savings bug. I'm not sure how to work around with it. I personally don't have the bug myself. Try the following:

Install the cab attached to this post.

The cab will restart your phone.

Change your time zone to something else, then change it back.

This has worked for other users.

After you've done that, schedule an alarm for 2 minutes in the future, and just make sure it goes off. I'm working on a way to work around this so users don't need to worry about it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
yeah i already have that cab installed, and i was the one who suggested the change the timezone thing in the first place ;) it seems to work sometimes, and sometimes not. i think i'm just going to set my timezone to the wrong one to fix it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] m00moo:
in regards to my last post i seriously think the UI needs to be clarified more clearly. My phone alarm went off this morning 9am.... prob an acident as you icons arent labelled or anything and confusing as hell :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] korbi:
Hi!

I like this prog, but i think it caused a problem at my device:

I set an alarm at 10:15. It rang fine, i turned it off and deleted later the alarm in klaxon. But since then my device rings every day at 10:15. Its not the app that rings its an appointment at 10:15 which rings, but with the sound of klaxon. (Boy, this is confusing to write:-))

In the calendar i cant find an entry.

I dont know how to get rid of this problem. Have you guys any idea?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Rome_:
Hi,

can you change background this icon?

There is a white background and it doesn't look good.

Regards,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] abakas:
I use the alarm daily and I think that the last versions are quite good.

I have 2 requests that could make my life easier:

First it would make a big difference to me if the power for canceling with the G sensor would be parametric. I think now is 20G. I use the G sensor for snoozing and I would love to adjust it at 1G so that I dont have to use extreme power to snooze:rolleyes:.

Second It would be very convinient to me if the snooze button was a bit larger than the close button and not right next to it. The reason is that a couple of times I closed the alarm instead of snoozing it:p.

Thanks in advance...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DomSim:
my only complaint as well^
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
That's the standard Windows Alarm, turn that off in Clocks and Alarms. I'll take a look at that bug.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Argh, I knew someone wouldn't like that. I don't have any artistic skills. If someone wants to provide me a good icon, I'd use it! Remember that it can't have any alpha transparency, icons only support masks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
THE VERSION OF KLAXON ATTACHED IS ONLY FOR THOSE HAVING DAYLIGHT SAVINGS PROBLEMS

Please let me know if it fixes the bug!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
someone with some photoshop skills could adapt this...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] schmeichler:
while youre talking about an icon...

... how about this idea (sorry - no graphical skills here as well)

- a diamond (the stone)

- on top some bells like on a classic alarm-clock or one like an old fire-alarm

- if now too much detail analog needles making the diamond to a clock

- all kept in black/grey

just an idea though... would pretty much link it to the HTC Diamond - but that would be ok right ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
tastes differ but I couldn't hold anf not tell you (politely) that our tastes are waaay different :D:D:D (just for the shake of discussion)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] schmeichler:
Koush: please make the icon skinnable ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vijaydesor:
thanks for that - but what I want is to set a sound file as a default alarm so I don't have to go through that process everytime to use the alarm tone I prefer to use .... any help appreciated
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] washi:
i don't know if it was suggested before and i do not want to read all 71 pages :)

it would be nice if it is possible activate and deactivate the alarms in the alarm list without entering the alarm setup. tab and hold or checkboxes.

Bug Report

A couple of bugs with 2.0.0.20:

1) If you set the light action to "nothing", it still snoozes the alarm

2) If you set the light sensor action to snooze, and you turn on the light when the screen is on, but the alarm hasn't yet gone off (warning grace period), then the alarm sort of snoozes and then snooze time becomes negative, example -1 minutes, -2 minutes, and so on. The alarm never goes off after that.

Regards,

EDIT

: File attached. Problem happened october 13 and 14, as far as i can remember.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
complete opposite for me - its really sensitive, i'd want the G sensor to be less sensitive :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] abakas:
Different people, different needs;). That’s why my suggestion was for a parametric adjustment of the g sensor, say 1G-50G. If it is possible...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] korbi:
Thanks. Will test it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Rabangus:
Cool - this version fixes my previous issues - home screen integration now works fine, and I can select mp3s from my SD card (although it is painfully slow).

Have to agree about the icon though - it needs a transparent background rather than a white square...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Dark Storm:
Great application, works very well.

I suffer the same "problem" as eteching describes. I installed the .cab on the storage card, could that be the loading problem?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Yeah, I know about that. Some users wanted the ability to be awoken by a backlight (so that their significant other doesn't get woken up too). I'll make that configurable and also make the alarm show up too.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Dark Storm:
OK, sorry didn't know that it is done by purpose. If it is't a bug, than it is fine. :)

thanks for the reply
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mastermnd:
Ok, added the bug report file to post 739.

BTW: The new icon for build 21 looks awful under the TF3D "programs" tab. The previous one was better because it had a transparent bg.

In any case, thanks for all the hard work, i use this every day and will soon donate :)

Question

Koush:

Congratulation... Each time better!!!

A thing: Would be greate to see the current time when you are putting the alarm.

For example, each day i must to put the alarm to diferent hours, because my work... so, i put the alarm for to sleep 6 hours, but i need to know the current time for to calculate the wake up hour... Then i must to see in other clock the time, and after that put the alarm in my PDA.

Am i clear??? :-D

Regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MiToNiOeS:
Hello,

First, I would like to congratulate you for your work, I keep your project since 2 months and is really good, THANKS.

Second, I have a suggestion ... Would be nice to be able to choose an entire folder as the sound of the alarm. So each day we wake up with a random song, is it possible?

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
You can sort of do that now: You can set up a playlist with Windows Media Player and sync it to your Diamond. Then choose the playlist file.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Pitchb3nd:
Suggestion:

Will it be possible to keep the screen locked always?

Sometimes when I flip the phone to snooze I accidentally touch the OFF button on the touchscreen, and the alarm goes off.

If would be nice to be able to interact with klaxon just by flipping, shaking and with the lightsensor and keep the screen locked every time so we dont make accidental touch.

Or maybe just make the OFF button on the touchscreen optional.

win alarm is not off

Hallo, i'm using last version of klaxon on touch pro.

When i set alarm in klaxon it work good, but when i set alarm off, then alarm is still on in win and alarm is running, but in klaxon is off!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] randywong:
At first I want to say thank you for your wonderful klaxon.

I have a question to ask. When I click the button to turn it off, it vibrates. Can I disable the vibration?? Or how to modify the registry to disable it? thanks so much~
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Version 2.0.0.23

Removed the upper right default "ok" button from the OpenFileDialog. This prevents users from hitting Ok and closing the dialog when no file has been selected.

Reverted previous change to "dismiss" Windows alarms. This was causing issues on mine and other devices in that the Klaxon Alarm would never show up. In its place, Klaxon now prevents Windows Alarms from flashing, playing sound, or vibrating. The notification will still show up, but at least not it is completely benign.

You can no longer hit the Off or Snooze buttons while the phone's screen is powered off.

Klaxon will no longer start the OpenFileDialog in the Windows directory to prevent the device from hanging while all the files are listed.

Fixed Daylight Savings Bug!

I'm also looking for someone to design a skin or two for Klaxon, as well as a new icon! Please contact me if you are interested!

Nice work Koush,

Where can we download this new version?

Keep the good work :cheers :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
its showed up for me again.. it seems if i create the alarm the night before its fine, but then i edited it for the next day to be an hour later, and the bug reappeared (klaxon thought the time was an hour earlier than the phone knew it was, and so went off an hour late). :(

my calendar items are out on the phone too.. this is so annoying (but not your fault)

How do you re-install an updated version??

I previously was running 2.0.0.19 and want to update to 2.0.0.21. So I run the CAB and it says installation unsuccessful. Oh, maybe I have to remove previous version, with a soft reset. Then I try to install new version... still unsuccessful!!!

What is the trick to this???

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sim.on:

Bug. Windows alarm reminder pop-up

This morning few minute after I snoozed klaxon, I got the windows alarm reminder sound, vibrate and pop-up in front of klaxon.

the previous dismissal method was working perfectly on my device and I never saw the windows alarm pop-up.

here the klaxon log
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Kisgyerek:
Thx, nice work
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sblop:
Fantastic program. Use it every morning. :-)

But I have 2 suggestions.

1:

When I am really tired in the morning because I've been surfing all night, then the alarm is too easy to turn off. It happens a little too often that I hit the "shut off" buttom, and don't realize it. Could you make it harder to shut off by accident? Ex. by making the user do some math ;-) or making his finger go through a labyrinth (I know the idea is used)? All though a simple "confirm" box also would do the trick. :-)

2:

Every morning I snooze for half an hour, or so. In the evening I know that, and set my alarm half an hour before the time I would need to get up.

I would however love a snooze "nightmare" option. Eg. the first snooze would be 10 minutes, and the second one would be 7, thereafter 5, 3, 2, 1 and with a little luck I would simply get up, by my self, because It would be annoying :-) (Hence the alarm clock ;-)) And what about if the sound is louder each time the alarm goes?

What ever you do, I will still love this software, but I do think that atleast the first thing bother more people than me?

Greetings, and goodnight. ;-)

Benjamin
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
1. I've been yelling for that one but our friend doesn't want to change this it seems. (no offence Koush - love your work - but you haven't even replied to that request, not only by me, even with a "no") Try what I have done. Load the "OFF" graphic in some paint program, scale it down enough to make it hard for you, and put it back. Job done. Of course it would be much better if the skin engine allowed also for custom positioning... (hello? XML?)

2. Nice idea. Then again (and I hope I am contradicted by the author), it was said that this application is considered as "ready that just needs some clean up", which I totally disagree and believe that if Koush wanted, it has long way to go. In fact I keep a wishlist (from users) and still is quite long. I am not sure Koush is that interested in this application so much any more (again, hopping to be contradicted).

We like this program, hope it evolves.

Hey all, Klaxon is now open source. I don't have time to improve this project as much as I would like to (I'm working on some other really cool stuff).

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/10/klaxon-is-now-open-source.html
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rs.saunders:
I would just like to say thank you to kouch for making this great application and for the large amount of time he has given to the project maintaining and improving it. You can hardly blame him for wanting to spend his own free time working on other newer projects.

People should not be so quick to complain when it doesnt work the way it was intended, or if he has not responded as quickly as you would have liked. Its attitudes like that, that turn cool projects like this into something of a chore.

I use it every day now and is a definite must have application for me. Thanks again
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jdbarclay:
Thank you Koush!

We will remember you every morning :p

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rs.saunders:
I have answered Koush's call and put together my first attempt at a skin for Klaxon. I have been using it as a way to teach myself the ways of paint shop pro :-)

I have also also cleaned up the klaxon icon so that it looks nicer on the start menu. When someone takes over this project I hope they concider putting this cleaned up version as the new/old icon for the next version.

I had intended the skin to have a white background but that is not possible in the current version. If that changes I might have another go at it. The skin is called Aesthetica2Skin because its named after the set of icons i used off of www.iconarchive.com using that name.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] amir77a:
This is a wonderful & useful app.

I miss at the moment 2 features:

1. Assuming I'm not using the Touch 3D. I still wish to able to know when the next alarm will be fire up. A simple today addon required.

2. When I am changing the alarm time, I wish to press & hold so the hours/minutes will be changing with no need to repeat pressing.

Thanks anyway.

Amir.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
Good move Koush. :)

It was clear that you couldn't put the time needed for Klaxon lately and your move was to the best (both for the community and Klaxon itself).

Hope someone (with more time) pushes this forward.

Edit I will soon recompile my huge user wishlist for whoever cares to update the program...
