does anyone have a problem with the combination S2U2 + Klaxon?

in many cases it looks like Klaxon tries to load up and do its job, but S2U2 doesn't let it. Sometimes it is only when I unlock the phone that Klaxon comes alive.

it's quite frequent that Klaxon does not ring at all or it rings 7-10 minutes later than scheduled!

i'm sad coz I love both apps :(

problems after removing KLAXON

HI,

I have removed klaxon from my HTC touch pro, but every morning I still find 2 messages like error executing klaxon.exe. :eek:

Probably the uninstall did not remove all items?

Install/uninstall did not fix the issue.

Anybody seen this before?

Thx

Klaxon: BUG

Hi,

I am trying to use Klaxon on an HTC Universal PDA.

I have Tomal 8.2 ROM on it.

In Klaxon if I tap the + button, to add a new alarm, simply the program quits.

I have tried to set my Regional settings back to USA, i deactivated/uninstalled any other alarm program (include the standard Windows-alarm service).

Quote from my Klaxon.txt:

08. 11. 19. 19:19:25:	Scheduling alarms. 0 Alarms found:

hi, have had a quick search through the forum and can't find an answer to this, but apologies if i have missed it, i'm sure its a question someone will have asked before, but is there anyway of making it so that when i click the clock on my Touch Diamond, it opens the Klaxon Alarms screen? i have selected the Integrate TouchFlo3D and Forcibly Remove windows alarm options in the configuration screen of Klaxon, but still when i click the clock, it opens up the standard windows alarm screen.

Have an issue ... searched trough this thread but haven't found anything ...

I had Klaxon installed yesterday, tested it, worked like a charm, but then i uninstalled it today and reinstalled it (do NOT ask me why) ... both the fast and the slow way (uninstall-softboot-install-softboot) ... but now i don't get klaxon alarms anymore (only the original windows popup) unless the app is running in background ... well unless i have a mild case of alcohol induced amnesia due to a party yesterday, but as i recall klaxon didn't have to be minimized to be activated by an alert

erm ... help?!?!

EDIT: nevermind my silly question ... in my post-partyatic phase i disregarded the warning about NOT TOUCHING the time dialog ... and guess how i was testing if it works :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
so you searched and didn't find anything?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bpm2000:
great app!

I am lost though - what exactly does "expire" mean?

So I have snooze set to 10 minutes - if I snooze through various means that I have set, and expire is set to say... 30 minutes, does that mean I get 3 snoozes before the alarm "expires" for the day? It defaults at 10min snooze and a 5min expire and it will sound the alarm again after the first snooze so thats where my confusion is if my assumption about what it means is correct.

the ssmapa alteration works great - the only thing I haven't been able to get working very well is the rotate/flip to snooze/off but I've never calibrated the gsensor so I will try dloading that somewhere and trying it again (the shake to snooze/off works but I have to practically throttle the thing at this point).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Curb71:
maybe Im using an old version or am just crazy but if I have 5-6 or more alarms then I cant see/edit them on my diamond. I cant flip the screen down with the stylus or use the directional pad to go down to see all my alarms. I want my alarm to go off every weekday at 6:10am, 7:10am, 8:10am, & 9:10am plus my regular alarm and if I add another it appears my first set alarm is inaccessable. Is there a fix for this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] nitroblu:
is there a read-me to this program?

the icons seem self explanatory, but to a noob, the way the options are listed (in settings) are difficult to determine wat exactly the optiosn will do?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] glumetu:
I think Koushik stopped the development of this app for WM an dnobody else picked it up.

Too bad, it was a great app to start with. I cannot use it with S2U2 and frankly I can't give S2U2 up.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] glumetu:
I thought better and found the solution - it had nothing to do with Klaxon...

I edited S2U2 registries (exception EXE list) to allow Klaxon to start... it works perfectly now :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] supertruck97:
OK, I have an issue with this. I have the latest version, but since it "disables the windows alarm", i am now unable to use the windows alarm at all.

I uninstalled Klaxon, and tested, and basically the windows alarm is now useless. It shows up and I can try to set an alarm and all that, but then when the time comes, it does not sound an alarm. It shows the alarm on screen, but does not sound any alarm noise, and when I go to the "Sounds" Settings and try to set a tone for it, there is no "Alarm Tone" optin. it is coimpletely removed.

Essentially, Klaxon is now the only way I can have an alarm on my phone. That's all well and good, but I want to be able to use the windows alarm if I choose to, or uninstall the program if I choose to as well, without it taking my windows alarm options with it.

Can anyone help with this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bbonzz:
Same here, with HTC Touch HD
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] robnil:
Two issues with touch HD:

1. When snoozing the screen turns off, which is fine. But it completely stops responding to everything exept tne powerputton hold för soft reset.

2. When snoozing by lightsensor, screen goes off and alarm is silent but it seems like the alarm is still there because the vibration continues with the same pace and rythm. And the non-responding screen is there as well.

The problems from previus poster does not occur on my HD.

Unfortunatly I cannot with sertain say that this occurs 100% of the times. I will do some more tests during the day to see if I can narrow it down a bit.

And a feature req as well:

Would be great with an alarm tone that gradually raised in volym starting with very very quiet. Would probably prevent some heart attacks out there :)

Thanks for a lovely application!

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

G-Alarm does allow you to do things with shaking your device and does allow you to turn off maze game

What i've seen in description is different: it says you can shut off alarm either playing the maze OR solving maths, no third chance...

So thanks for advising: i'll try it onboard :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] nhvoltagenh:
love this program, and i do have an idea. which i desperatly need.

so i am in bed, and i plug in my headphones to listen to music as i doze off, finally i get tired enough, i take off my ear buds and crash.

8am alarm goes off.. but since i didnt unplug the headset, i hear nothing.

anyway to make this always run through speaker.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] azurepalm:
i can't speak for the developer, but i'm pretty sure this is beyond his scope. it's a functionality built into windows mobile if i'm not mistaken.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jugulator:
This is a great program. But I cannot believe the developer did not try to fix the basic problem which is setting up the alarm. To change time from 7.00 to 7.30 you need to tap the screen 30 times! There is no other way which is a shame for such a nice program. I know this has been pointed out before but for some reason it is being ignored. The minute digits should be divided into 2 independently adjustable figures so that we can quickly adjust time. No so much of a problem for the hour digits. This is a basic flaw which should be fixed for this to be user friendly. Hope the developer will look into it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
so did you take a look at the alternative mentioned?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] schmeichler:
Can't remember the name but it's a touch-flow-feature: just slide your finger from botto->top or the other way and the digits will start running. Stop by hitting the other way once - it takes some getting used to but it works ánd looks neat ;)

haven't used it but won't FM-Radio use the spaker while headset is connected? If yes it should be doable by software.

But as developer has said he has no time or priority for this project.....

I still think it's a graet app - thank you so much Koush!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
well Koush has definitely made some great software that has pushed forward the envelope, but Klaxon is buggy to say the least and G-Alarm beats it in probably every aspect
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] squirrelss:
this is a great software really, thank alot.

Is there anyway to make the alarm go off with max sound while the phone is on silent ? I hate my co workers sending text messages 3 in the morning when i have to wake up at 6am. This would be a killer!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] schmeichler:
have you used the program?

it has an option to set volume level - this is what it uses regardless of current phone-settings
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
Also try the other option given recently (another program).

I am sorry to point this again, but unless someone picks up the code, cleans it up and continues development, I cannot propose its use to anyone.

I had various problems with the stability of my device during the time I had it installed (plus it was not really working all the time).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mulderfbi:

hi a really like the your app but what is the "Expire min" for and if it`s for how long the alarm will be active,can you make a option for "Endless" time...? Thanx again for the great application ! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] squirrelss:
i just went over thru every single option but didnt see a silent alarm option. I might have to get the latest version i assume. Is there any UI upgrades in the latest version ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] schmeichler:
it's in the general settings (not per alarm) - last tab (star) - called 'Volume' (0-100)

this setting ignores/overrides current phone settings - no special 'sound alarm even when phone silent' setting exists

Anyone got this working on the Touch HD?

Hi

I've been fooling around with this alarm quite a bit now, and I can't get the alarm to ring when i goes off. I get the window saying snooze, but I can't get a ringtone out of it. I've tried various settings and ringtones, but it doesn't really seem to help at all...

Anyone know what the issue may be or if I'm doing something wrong?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] schmeichler:
does it ring if you test the ringtone ('play'-button next to 'choose tone'-button)?

perhaps volume is set to '0' (advanced setting of specific alarm)

does it vibrate on alarm?

PHONE LOCK UP ON WAKE UP :-(

I've been testing out the .29 version this last and have experience a problem. If the phone is plugged in and Klaxon attempts to wake up the phone it locks the phone up and requires the use of the reset button. I have experience this twice now in a weeks use. Great looking design but not great when it locks up the phone and you cant get the call that tells you you're over sleeping.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
Haven't you noticed that the program is not under development for quite some time and that there ARE better alternatives?

Check the last few pages.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] imranbashir_uk:
Koush,

I know you’re no longer developing Klaxon, but here’s hoping you still read this thread. Would you consider a minor update to support Touch Lock Pro (TLP)?

ZuinigeRijder, the developer of TLP has mentioned a method of disabling his app upon coming out of standby that is currently used by G-Alarm. I am sure ZuinigeRijder would be more than happy to give you the code so that Klaxon can also disable TLP if required.

This would obviously be customisable through your settings as some people might not want this feature.

Finally upgraded my ROM from Elite 3.0 to Duttys V4 and at the same time upgraded from Klaxon 2.0.0.10 to 2.0.0.29, nice to see some minor issues I was having were fixed through the update.

Got my fingers crossed that you still read this thread and got time to implement the above...

Imran
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
Just curious Imran if you please.

Have you tried other solutions (this comes to mind) and didn't like them?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] imranbashir_uk:
NLS,

Not tried other solutions as Klaxon worked really well and used virtually no processing power hence minimal battery drain. How does G-Alarm compare?

Also Klaxon was / is a mature product with very few (if any) bugs, G-Alarm still seems to be in developments and as such new features that are being added are causing people problems.

Thanks for the tip though never new G-Alarm has got so far, I looked into a few new items when going through my update but to be fair not into a Klaxon alternative as it did everything I needed. The interface could have been a bit more slick and more global settings used but none of these were deal breakers.

I haven’t even been able to use TLP (Dutty’s V4 ROM) so I don’t know how it works with Klaxon. I was just thinking ahead as I’m sure the problem with TLP and Duttys ROM will be sorted sooner or latter.

Thanks for the heads up though will look into G-Alarm in a few months once it’s had its bugs ironed out.

Imran
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
I can't stress you enough to try it sooner than later.

Feel a bit sorry to say this in THIS thread but G-Alarm was way way way more stable for me than Klaxon ever was.

It's exactly the opposite experience than you describe. For me Klaxon never really matured (just the developer stopped having an interest in the application - and trust me there was a huge user wishlist), many of the features never really worked as they supposed (like TF3D integration - something so flowlesly working in G-Alarm, making you think "why wouldn't it?") etc.

G-Alarm has a way more active development, which doesn't prove a less mature program (as its features are maybe 2-3 times more than Klaxon's), but a very active developer and a very wide user base.

It is your device, but really, just spend 10 minutes to remove Klaxon and install G-Alarm (both are free, so it cannot be easier), try it for a day and let me know if you get back to Klaxon.

And no I am not affiliated to G-Alarm author in any way, NOR have anything against Klaxon's author (except maybe that he has semi-abandoned a few projects, but at least gives us the source... now why nobody has ever picked it up, can be "read" in many ways, don't ask my opinion).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] imranbashir_uk:
NLS,

LOL, will give it a go when I got some time maybe over the weekend...

Sorry you had problems with Klaxon, I’m sure you would feel differently about it if you didn’t have any bugs or problems with it.

Also having more features doesn’t necessarily make an application better (Vista Vs XP) not saying that is the case here as I haven’t tried both so can’t cast a judgment. But what I can say is that Klaxon does do everything I need in an alarm clock.

More complex stuff is taken care of via outlook and the WM calendar.

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

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] eac:
Then allow me to not understand anything :confused:

I've did 10 times (I like this number when I'm testing something :p ) this test cycle:

1. device (battery in fact) fully charged

2. Klaxon installed

3. device used as usual until fully discharged and device stops by itself

5. device fully charged

4. Klaxon uninstalled

6. device used as usual until fully discharged and device stops by itself

In all 10 tests I've received almost the same 2 results, that means that step 3 finalized after 1-1.5 days and step 6 after 3-3.5 days. WITHOUT EXCEPTION!

I repeat, I don't understand at all why Klaxon running means half power life (for me).

I think it's not necessary to say I'm not using it at this moment, although I like it very much, but I keep trying each version maybe sometime I'll have the same luck all the rest of you have with this nice piece of software.
