[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] schauol1:
Sorry if this has been posted before...

Just a little Bug I noticed today in combination with S2U2...

Device:

Diamond 1.93 ROM

Problem:

In the mornig, Klaxon woke me up and was "on screen".

I pressed the "snooze" button. Since the screen doesn't go off by itself, pressed the powerbutton to turn it off.

Klaxon woke me up again.

On the Screen: S2u2. No Klaxon-Screen. Turning the Phone for "snooze" works fine anyway.

Klaxon wakes me up again. Screen: S2u2.

I unlock the Phone. Screen: Klaxon.

Shaking the Phone to turn off the Alarm did NOT work.

I had to press the "Off" Button.

This is just a "minor" bug and is probably connected to the "not turning the screen off" Bug.

Thanks for this great Application. ;-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CyberGene:
I have used an API made by Koush to create a small program for my Diamond using G-sensor and my initial idea was to implement a tool for determining my current speed in a vehicle or so, as well as acceleration 0-100 km/h, etc (the calculus is pretty simple if you ask for that). However it appeared the accelerometer of Diamond is very inaccurate - first of all it shows the gravity as different value in the different axes - on the Z it is 7 (should be 9.8), also the value itself fluctuates constantly. With this in mind I think the accelerometer is probably with a different quality on the different devices. On mine for example sometimes even if I tilt the device very slightly, the alarm snoozes, which makes it quite annoying... The shake doesn't work at all. So, maybe some devices have different kind of sensor sensitivity and accuracy and that may be the reason for the alarm not to work or to exhibit strange behavior.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] logger:
Seems I am lucky. My GSensor seems accurate and is constant between all three axis. I expect the small continuous fluctuation you see is a function of how these accelerometers work. Maybe yours needs to be calibrated?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CyberGene:
Well, I think we don't have access to a calibration if such exists :( Even the current API for getting values from G-sensor was not official but reverse engineered by some guy if I am not mistaken.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
I believe there's a G-Sensor callibrator on this forum. Try searching; I've used it before and am pretty sure it works.

Edit: Just checked: Bepe's ROM comes with the G-Sensor callibrator.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jdbarclay:
The same for me, Im not using S2u2 but a screen locker app I am developing myself. I can't describe it nor reproduce it but it just behaves strange, sometimes work, sometimes doesn't.

Seems to be that Klaxon somehow deals with the display, and so screen lockers do. I think both programs start a fight for the screen "top most" and hence the problem. I think (repeat - I suggest) Klaxon shouldn't deal with screen. Its my opinion, don't have details on how it actually works behind the scenes. Keep the good work and hope next version fixes the "lock screen bug"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
I think by hitting the power button on the device, Windows Timers get all goofed up and no longer poll. I may need to change the polling from using timers to using a background thread.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jdbarclay:
Have you seen this?

"Programmatically Monitor for a Specific Time of Day Without Draining a Device Battery?"

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/bb870451.aspx

This should be the best approach, it doesn't require polling so no battery drain. You can either register events for launching an application or calling back an event in your app (which is the best part)

Win32.CeRunAppAtTime(_timeOfDayEventName, targetTimeAsSystemTime);
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Yes, that is what I use to schedule the alarm, which is why Klaxon does not have any memory or battery footprint, because it is only running when it is alarm time. :) But my problem will not work with a solution that simple. :)

Remember that once Klaxon is running, it needs to stay on and prevent the device from going to sleep so it can continue picking up sensor events. But the video power also needs to be off to not drain the battery or annoy the user.

It's funny you bring this up, because I actually JUST finished writing a blog post about how I am fixing this issue:

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/09/windows-mobile-video-power-states.html
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jdbarclay:
Thats good news
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
Koush you should fix that bug with the WM alarm keep showing up.

I have Klaxon empty from alarms the last three days and I've been forced to go and re-disable the WM alarm many times! Always at the same time (which was one of my Klaxon tests). I am not sure why it keeps coming back (and when). This last time I disabled WM alarm AND changed the time. We'll see what happens.

But this bug needs fixing (and please add a couple of the bold things in the wishlist...).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] imranbashir_uk:
OK I’m a bit confused why would you continue to want to pick up sensor events. If the alarm has been disabled then the app closes.

If the device is snoozing, then why let sensor events change that (RE: One of your bugs that accidently reset the snooze timer if the device is picked up).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
That's not really a bug, so much as something I need to make an option: I resnooze before the timer goes off by flipping it, but some people don't like that.

I am also going to put in a similar option to allow the shake action to take place when the device is snoozed. I like being able to shake my device to turn it off-- before the alarm goes off again.

Also, the light sensor needs to be read too... you should not have to worry about turning the alarm off in the morning after snoozing. Just turn on your light like you normally would, and forget about the alarm.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] imranbashir_uk:
Making it an option would fix it for me!

I’m assuming that if any of the sensors are disabled you stop polling them to save power e.g. the light sensor.

Sorry for the off topic, but do you know about the Pocket GForce? Maybe you guys can work together..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] logger:
As part of configuring Klaxon properly - should I go into the three Windows alarms and uncheck

play sound,

flash light,

vibrate,

for each of them?

Whenever my Klaxon set alarm goes off, the phone also vibrates and I cannot see a klaxon setting disable this. Or is it hard wired to vibrate in klaxon?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] karana:
Very basic question... I searched the thread for the word open but could not find anything. Do I need to reopen the application each night or do the alarms go off even if the application is closed?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
It works even if it is closed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Version 2.0.0.11

Added options to disable each sensor action while snoozed. For example, if your Flip action snoozes your phone, and you don't want to let it resnooze while snoozing (by just picking up your phone in some cases), check this box!

Added the ability to select a Windows Media Player playlist. You can find playlists in your \Playlists or \Internal Storage\Playlists folders. You can use Windows Media Player on your desktop to create and sync playlists.

When you snooze your device, the screen is automatically turned off to save power.

The default sound file is now \Windows\Alarm5.wav. It is not configurable in the UI yet, but you can configure it manually setting the \HKCU\Software\Klaxon\DefaultSoundFile value in the registry. (It does not exist by default, but Klaxon will use it if it is there.)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] logger:
Nice additions. I like way those settings are global too. Added the key and now it is a sinch to add a quick alarm. Also I see now that "alarm active by default" was always there. I apologise for suggesting that you needed to add it in my post of yesterday.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elvelynn:
Yesterday I downloaded and installed a 2.0.0.10 :D

But I've got another question, since I updated my ROM to MossisROM (the german guy), my alarms I've set with Klaxon aren't showed in my TF3D-TodayScreen.

I tried many the following:

Deinstall Klaxon, delete the program-dir and registry-keys manually and after that de-activate all "normal" windows-alarms and made a softreset.

Than I re-installed Klaxon, set the option "TodayScreen-integration", setup my alarms (didn't go into the normal windows-alarms) and again made a softreset.

But the alarms aren't still showed in my TodayScreen.

This effect also happend with the 2.0.0.9.

My ROM:

Windows MObile 6.1

CE OS 5.2.20721 (Build 20273.1.3.3)

ROM

1.93

TF3D

Version 3.0 (Build 29946)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] iridio:
Same to me. I also noticed that TouchFlo3d don't simply show anymore the alarms. I tried to uninstall klaxon and setup up a WM alarm, but it still don't show up in thouchflo home. I think a hard reset is my only solution to fix this up
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elvelynn:
Really? I think I will try this today, too.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
OK with .11 I still have this (major to me!) bug:

- I create an alarm, say 5 minutes later.

- Exit Klaxon, see that is indeed reported in TF3D (because it sets the first WM alarm).

- Go back to Klaxon and DELETE this alarm.

- *** TF3D STILL REPORTS THE ALARM *** ...and if I go to WM alarms it is still set there!!!

...and gets even better...

- I create an alarm in Klaxon.

- Let it ring (I don't think this step makes any difference) and then stop it.

- I go to WM alarms and disable it.

- TF3D correctly shows no alarm (since klaxon uses WM alarm to integrate to TF3D).

- Go in Klaxon settings just to DELETE the alarm and delete it.

- Exit ONLY TO FIND THAT NOW THE TF3D (and WM) alarm IS ACTIVE AGAIN! Yes the one based on the DELETED Klaxon alarm!!!

I don't know about you people, but I think this classifies as serious bug. I thought it was fixed but not.

Please man. Please fix this.

(the other major thing to fix is to make OFF much smaller than SNOOZE)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
I can't reproduce this bug, so I can't fix it. It may be a change or difference in our ROMs. I would recommend disabling Home Screen Integration.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] iridio:
Edit: I was able to fix this issue doing this:

- uninstall klaxon;

- soft reset

- alarm problem still there

- install klaxon

- soft reset

- check to see if option of homescreen integration is disable

- soft reset

- uninstall klaxon

- soft reset

- alarm now are fixed

As soon as I got some more spare time I will try to see if I can replicate the problem and see if can help somehow koush.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Thanks, I would appreciate it. I'm having a hard time figuring out these home screen issues.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elvelynn:
On my diamond I could'nt reproduce your procedure :(

At no time the alarms were showed in my TodayScreen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sakky:
the volume is very low, how can I put higher?

the volume is at maximum and the player feels good but with klaxson no :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] iridio:
Sorry that can't help you. It happen before to me, but i did a hard reset because I "played a lot" with my phone so I didn't care. Maybe is not only klaxon fault but some combination with other softwares. Yesterday, before noticing the prob, I used diamondtweak, Advanced config 3.2. and tried DiamondHack. Maybe the problem is due to excessive registry mess.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elvelynn:
Yes, I also played alot with my diamond the last days ;)

Maybe I'm doing a hardreset next week and than looking again on the klaxon-prob.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] pbv302:
Is it only me or does anyone else have the problem with pressing the wrong (stop) button when you are half awake? Is it possible to make a option to only show the snooze button on the alarm screen and Stop the alarm in some other trickier way that forces you to concentrate a little...:o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] heretic:
Koush, maybe you should alter the skin so the snooze and off buttons would be on the right and left corners of the screen, respectively, and not on top each other? This way it's going to be easier to NOT hit the wrong one in the morning. ;)

ADDED: App still crashes when trying to select a sound file from Internal Storage from a folder which contains a lot of files... :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sakky:
can you help me? :o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
many people requested changes with SNOOZE and OFF... off really needs to be much harder to press than snooze

maybe SNOOZE should be a huge box maybe 1/3 of the screen size at the bottom and OFF a little button somewhere far from SNOOZE, maybe tope right (offset is necessary to make "getting used" to the position harder)

btw, my device where I still have the WM alarm problem is a stock Touch Pro... I don't get what is so different with my device
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] stevedpl7:
@ Koush,

Hi, thanks for implementing the 'disable while snoozing' setting, however there is a problem with it. It only disables for one flip event. For example if i snooze by flipping then flip back over 3 minutes later to look at the screen, the timer does not reset - perfect up to this point, problem is that next time i pick the phone up and move it any thing other than gently the screen goes off and the timer resets.

My guess is that this is because of the automatic screen switch off on snooze causing some kind of conflict??? Is there any way of completely disabling the G sensor whilst snoozing??

Also is it possible to make the automatic screen switch off during snooze optional? I'd prefer the screen to stay on really.

All the best

@ NLS

Something along the lines of this you mean??? But with the off button in the corner??

I agree this would make an improvement to the alarm screen. I have tried that alarm by the way and for the record Klaxon is FAR FAR superior.

How do I use the light sensor to shut off the alarm clock?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 7floor:
If you are sleeping in dark room and awakening on alarm, it will shut up automatically once you turn the room light on.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] shocam:
First of all let me say thanks for this app, it is amazing!!

i think i may have found a problem tho, as mentioned in a previous mail with homescreen integration. On my htc diamond (1.93 ROM) i had 2 alarms configured, one set up for 11:00 on saturday and another setup for 05:30 but no days. Even after uninstalling Klaxon and soft reboot then re-installing it would show the 05:30 alarm on the homescreen even when not configured for any days. When i went into the alarm from the homescreen it was set for every day! When i deleted the 05:30 alarm it would show the 11:00 alarm correctly. Not sure if this is just my HTC ot not.

Hope that makes sense!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Thanks for the detailed description. I found this bug and will release a fix shortly -- I am working on making Klaxon skinnable right now too.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DomSim:
k just installed this and it does not seem to function correctly on my cdma sprint version btw. the problems i noticed is it will not play anysound, either with the alarm or with the preview, and shaking the phone puts it in snooze rather than turning it off. i have tried changing the alarm sound to different sounds, and that did not help either.

Version 2.0.0.12

This is a beta build to test out the new skinning functionality.

Instructions on how to create a skin:

Download the CAB for latest version of Klaxon: http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/KlaxonSetupBeta.cab

Download the TestSkin: http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/TestSkin.zip

Install Klaxon.

Open the TestSkin.zip. Copy the TestSkin directory into your Klaxon folder (usually \Program Files\Klaxon).

Start Klaxon.

Go to Settings

Choose "TestSkin".

Press OK and Klaxon will exit.

Restart Klaxon to see the skin (it will be the same as default).

Edit the textures to create your own skins! The images don't have to be the same size as the ones I use! (You can make buttons bigger or smaller if you want.)

I found out that have have copied the skin in a dir inside a dir (klaxon\TestSkin\TestSkin).

But even after correct this I get error when I try to add or edit the allarms.

If I just want the default skin do I have to copy this TestSkin in the dir?

but that tool is realy nice !

thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Like I said, this is a beta build. :)

Regardless, if anything goes wrong with the skin, it should revert back to the default one-- it's built into the program (you won't see a directory for it).

If someone has completely broken Klaxon, and it does not revert to the default skin, please let me know.

Here's the link to the 2.0.0.11 CAB:

http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/KlaxonSetupOld.cab

If you want to install the TestSkin, your directory structure should look like this:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
The Default skin is built in, the TestSkin is just a copy of the Default skin that people can use to start creating their own skins.

BUG in Version 2.0.0.11

Hey,

I found a bug in Klaxcon Version 2.0.0.11

When "Intergrate with Home Screen" enabled and you try to delete task alert from the task list it's delete it only in the Klaxcon system and not in the Windows Mobie system (Home Screen), in another words the "Intergrate with Home Screen" work only in one way, only in the "+" (ADD) and not in the "-" (DELETE).

And by the way: In the Klaxcon version 2.0.0.12 you can't work (ADD task) without select a skin first.

Please fix this issue... :-)

Major SHAKE FOR OFF bug in latest build

UPDATE:

I did a little experiment and this is what I found.

- Checked sensor calibration all OK

- Reset phone

1) If I have 'Off' set on shake there is not effect by shaking, regardless of 'If snooze on' setting.

2) If I have 'Snooze ON' / Turn off if snoozed set ON - Shaking has NO EFFECT, alarm continues

3) If I have 'Snooze ON / Turn off if snoozed set OFF - Shaking turns the alarm OFF, not snoozes it as set

Hi. I'm using the latest beta build and while I'm not experiencing any isues with the home screen integration like others, I'm not able to shake to turn off. Flipping snoozes fine but no amount of shaking turns the alarm off - only the button. This is usable granted but in a situation where you answer a text message or something after a snooze, Klaxon is off screen so the only way to turn off the alarm is fire up klaxon again and then use the button.

Is there a setting in the reg I need to tweak?
