[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] HahaHandy:
tested it and works well so far. new userinterface is nice.

some suggestions:

- a button to enable/disable the alarm at the first screen (where the overview of the alarms is).

- as already mentioned several times: 12/24 h support!

- when the phone is locked and the alarm begins, its not possible to switch of or snooze by taping on the screen (just the sensor). is it possible to unlock the screen for the period of the alarm?

- why do you begin with sunday as the first day? this doesnt annoy me, but is always strange to see :)

and theres still the bug, that when i disable the lkaxon alarm the windows alarm activates itself and sets the alarm to the current alarm.

so far, stay tuned :D

Hello !

Nice UI !

But i've a question : I don't want to use a sound file.

How can i do ?

I just want the phone vibrate ...

Thx !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] techdave:
Use a silent sound file? :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Devileyezz:
Either I'm too dumb, or I'm just not able to properly use the flick or swipe control for the numbers (in time).

If I want to set the alarm to 5.00AM, the only thing easy in that is flicking the PM to AM. Everything else takes time!

Love the new UI (maybe default the alarm tone to \Windows\Rings cuz almost everybody will use those sounds?)

Thanks for a beautiful new app.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ArtoD2:
How about gestures on screen, like zooming on album, could we use those as well?

btw. the original idea came from a alarmclock that you could throw to the wall to silence it... it was shaped as a grenade, but unfortunatelly it was not strong enough to endure my morning moods
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] diamondino:
simply great, with these improvement will be even greater :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] turt:
Cool app! Keep going :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] beaker656:
Nice idea, nice app. Just installed so will play today. Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] WannyMan:
How about configuring the backlight to get on gradually.

You wil get an sunrise effect, like the Philips wake-up clock.

That would be soo cool. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Harboe:
Hi Koush

Fantastic potential in this program.

I have a problem though. When the alarm starts ringing, it only plays like 1 sec and goes to snooze. I'm using the original Alarm-Dawn.wav. Any idea?

Cheers

Harboe
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] beaker656:
Same here, also noted that the alarm went off around 2mins after the time it was set for, then went straight to snooze. The potential is amazing
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] czguy:
Same as others, I see amazing potential in this application once bugs are squashed. One thing that this could use is ability to work in background with minimum of resources, same as wince original alarm clock and automatic start up without me putting shortcut in autostart.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Thanks for the feedback all! I'm starting work on fixing the bugs. The two main ones I see are:

The alarm automatically snoozes itself (I know why this can happen on some people's devices and have the fix done)

The alarm needs to turn on the screen so the sound is audible. (Need to look into how to do this)

czguy: You don't need to put a shortcut to autostart it. Once you set an alarm up, it schedules itself to automatically start on its own. It will continue working, even if the device reboots.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Harboe:
Wee......sounds great Koush. Looking forward to testing when you squashed the evil and nasty bug.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] R3PUBL1K:
Pointless if you are asleep and can not see this....:confused:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] onkytonk:
I am yet to try this software, but I have a question:

If flipping over the unit 'snoozes' the alarm, what do you do once the alarm goes off again if the phone is already face down?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] :
Flip it again :) As in, if its face down, make it face up, and vice versa. I think this worked for me in the morning, Now im thinking about it im not too sure.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] :
I used to do this with my bedroom lights hooked up to a home automation system. I beleive it works when you have a strong light that will overcome any ambient light coming through the curtains. However i dont think the backlight of the phone will do crap all unless you have the phone stuck to your face.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Wolfblood:
Hi Koush,

Thanks for your good app :)

I have a comment is for more humanity. It should be:

- Flip your phone to turn the alarm off.

- Shake your phone to snooze.

And if the app can support multi alam (Difference time to alarm just like the WM6 alarm will be great!)

What did you think? Thanks again for you do in Diamond. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] foegie:
Hi,

I just installed and tested this app somewhat to how i currently use the original alarm functions on WM6.1.

What strikes me is that with the device locked and the screen off, the alarm does not go off untill you manually unlock the phone.

Would like to see the program wakes and unlocks the device itself on a alarm.

The switching for a snooze works great when going from faceup to facedown, other way around does not seem to work for my device.

One other thing is that when configuring an alarm, the keypad does not get activated when you put focus on one of the input fields.

Last thing i encountered is the high sensibility for shaking. I would prefer that you really have to shake the phone instead of gently moving it around.

Ill be watching the progress and am anxious for the next releases :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tretre:
It's much harder to shake the phone than to flip it, so it should be the other way around.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mic73337:
That`s perfect

And to press the + and - Buttons (invisible) to set the alarmtime easy. :)

Great,great,great !!!!!

Regards Mic
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fredisco:
Flipping is easier, I absolutely would go for, flip is snooze and shake (for at least 3-4 seconds) that sure will wake you up.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] oldhouse:
Yeah pretty annoying bug! Today I woke up at 6 a.m. cause Klaxon enabled the default windows mobile alarm!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Bobo Xni:
Hi,

same problem for me.... :confused:

BYE, Bobo ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sibbor:
Could we get an option running Klaxon in "window mode". I don't like fullscreen apps, since I want to be able to see the battery, radio and clock icons, access the WM6 start menu etc.

1) Yeah, same for me when trying to edit an alarm (at least "New alarm" = default/example alarm)

3) I would love that too... cause the new look is simply great!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Petrovitch2:
The Icon

Look, my policy is to be honest, so no offence pls - This is very good proggy and it is going to be great for sure, but...

I can't stand the icon on my screen - that stupid whistle is ugly both in shape and colour. I appeal for changing it for something else, pleeeease...

Thanks anyway!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
No offense taken, I know it's pretty ugly! Sadly, I have no artistic ability myself. If expo or someone wants to create a new icon for me I'd be more than happy to add it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jdbarclay:
Same for me. Shake is interpreted as FLIP.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Petrovitch2:
Oh...Thanks for understanding - in the attachment there are just some ideas for you - I've found some pictures of Klaxon in my base too, but they appeared to be ugly as well :-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CyberGene:
I found just one more bug today - when I grabbed the phone to switch off the alarm sound, before being able to press the "OFF button" the phone vibrated once to show me the alarm is in snooze and then the image got enlarged vertically, so that the red area with the off button went almost off the screen. Only very tiny red area was visible at the very bottom of the screen. Strange fact was also that there was the windows bar at the bottom with keyboard icon at the middle to show me that I can open a keyboard to write...

This version is getting me crazy, can anyone send me the previous one because I can't find it :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tom2402:
unfortunetly new ver 2.0 working muche worse then earley one.

1) shake function for snooze not working properly

2) sound file is only played once (i'm usinig alarm4.wav from spb time) so there is no possibility to get me awake ;)

3) integration with home scren not working - always it's bring up windows default alarm first (pop up window)

application is great but in my opinion first You shoul try to make it less buggy then try to make it looks nicer..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mouseymousey:
I think I'm going to go back to an older version of Klaxon, this new interface doesn't really do it for me.

It takes me longer to set the time using the new gesture controls than it did the old interface and I now have to tap the alarm, then the configure button to change an alarm as opposed to just tapping the alarm in the previous version.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Novus84:
i´m back to Version 1.0.0.37

The "Windows Alarmbug" is terrible in the morning :D

But the new UI is superb :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dyter:
Great tool but, I can't disable alarm ! (clock alarm windows take the last state alarm)

I have a great idea for execute Klaxon instead of clock alarm windows in manilla:

I search in the manila files the string "clock.exe" for rename it in "klaxo.lnk" (redirect link to the klaxon app), and idea for the name of this file ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mouseymousey:
I want to go back to the .37 release, is it available anywhere? I seem to have overwritten that version of the cab file on my computer...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CyberGene:
I have also overwritten on my comp and can't find the .37 release :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Novus84:
how can I delete all Windows Alarms!? My Diamond drive me crazy in the morning :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
Uninstall!

I decided to try out Klaxon 2.0 but, just like an earlier version that I finally got rid of, it won't uninstall properly - this program just won't go away!

I've tried re-installing and uninstalling several times, removing the alarms before uninstalling and disabling home-screen integration before uninstalling but nothing works. I'm getting a pop-up error each morning at the time that the Klaxon alarm was once set.

Can you help? Please can you publish a list of the files added and the registry keys modified?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] valkie:
I think it has something to do with the notification queue... known WM problem... I'm going to try this:http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/...-mobile-alerts-whenever-it-want-to-alert.aspx

I hope this works :)

**edit** No, I still get a event notification a few minutes after I stopped my KlaxonWakeup....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Coromoto:
Could anyone still having the cab file for version 1.0.0.37 post it for me / us?

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tangcla:
Is it possible to get Klaxon to be integrated into the home screen of TouchFlo 3D on an HTC Diamond? I click the clock and it just goes to the default alarm.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
This has already been discussed several times in this thread. Home screen 'integration' creates a fake WM alarm so that the alarm time shows on the today screen.

You can't make the home screen launch Klaxon without editing manila.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] groofoo:
this app is really cool, it would be perfect if it had the 24hour clock instead of AM/PM.

i know, they/he/she is working on it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] axterics:
I don't able to integrate this with the TF3D home. I tap the option in Klaxon after disable all the windows alarm but when after that I tap on the home clock I see always the windows app...

I use the 1.0.x version previously so I try also to unistall -> install but without results.

Any help?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
I just answered this question literally 2 posts ago. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CyberGene:
For people who want home screen integration, etc. could you please spend whatever time it takes and read the whole thread instead of jsut aksing? There are more important current issues which need attention, so any question like that creates a redundant spam/flame/noise...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
I've been doing a bit of digging and I think my problems are to do with the notification queue, as valkie posted above.

I also think Koush was right when he stated much earlier that the popups were a once-only problem - the reason I've been experiencing them on multiple days is that I've been re-installing Klaxon every day, trying to solve the problem!

Because the program doesn't delete its alarm settings on uninstall, on each reinstall it has been re-creating a problem entry in the notification queue for the following morning. I'm cautiously optimistic about having no popup tomorrow! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Martinhdk:
Maybe a crazy request - but this app could have it:

- I would like to have the possibility to have an "hour clock". So every hour it just gives a sound to let you know what time it is. Something like a very modern grandfather clock.. (Or like the clock with the little bird coming out every hour):):)

does it make any sense?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] schmeichler:
Please ignore this request :D

At least I think this would have nothing to do with an alarm clock

@Martin: either post something like '[REQ][APP] hour clock' - or just schedule 24 alarms with 'kookoo.mp3' and low expire (and disable windows integration)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Flex543:
How to look number of version program? In 1.XX.XX it was real. (settings - about)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Version 2.0.0.6

Implemented new skin for the actual Alarm form.

Fixed bug where editing alarms that took place on the noon or midnight hours were bugged.

Vibrations are now 150 and 300 ms instead of 500ms.

Windows Alarms are now schedule with no sound, so all the user may see is a notification (if Home Screen integration is enabled)

Fixed bug where One Time alarms did not show up on the Home Screen.

Implemented 24 hour mode (on the reskinned forms only)

Possibly bug where wav files were not looping.

Additional Todos

Implement About Screen
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elvelynn:
Hi,

there I love your wakeup-tool, it's really amazing.

But I miss just one thing (or maybe I didn't figure out how it works):

If the alarm goes on and I've set it to sound for 4 minutes (for example) then the app will shut down the alarm, right?

But for me it would be much better that the app only goes into to "snooze-mode" after the 4 minutes so I'm forced to take my diamond and tab to the screen to shut down the alarm completely ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Interesting, I may add that.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gorrunwe:
Hello and first, a big thank for you marvelous work !

Just a question : since the 2.0 release, i saw that the download link (on the first post) didn't changed. Where could we download the newest Klaxon ?

(Sorry for my bad english)

Gorrunwe
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
The download link always stays the same between new versions. I update the CAB file on the server.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elvelynn:
Thank you very much, because at the moment I need a second alarm clock otherwise I would sleep away again after the alarm sounds off and never will turn on again that morning :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Why don't you set the expire to 30 minutes so that it doesn't stop sounding off. :) You can do that in the Settings window from the main alarm list screen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elvelynn:
Yes, that sounds like a good workaround. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Martinhdk:
YUP - agree.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Devileyezz:
How come I don't see any complaints of people not liking the swipe way of setting the time? I find it so hard to do that! I try to go to 5, and it goes above or below and then I have to go real slow for it to go to 5, etc etc.

Also, the alarm default folder should be /windows/rings because, well, firstly there's no default alarm for quick setup, next not everyone wants a custom mp3 for alarm. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mouseymousey:
I don't like it either. Which is why I asked if I could download version 1.37 from somewhere.

Koush, any chance of making the old version available somewhere?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
You can still click the time to make it go up and down one at a time... you can also click and drag to change the number slowly.

So, it's swipe, drag, OR click. It's meant to allow you to change the numbers very fast or very precisely.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mouseymousey:
Ah yes, not sure how I missed that. Thanks.

My only other minor annoyance with this version is that we've lost the ability to just tap an alarm to edit it, you now have to tap the menu then tap the configure button. Any chance of re-introducing the old way of tapping the alarm to edit it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
I took out tap to edit because if you want to delete an alarm, you have to tap it, edit it, cancel, then delete. Or you have to use the hardware arrow keys. It's kind of annoying.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] schmeichler:
even more finger-friendlyness...

first of all: THX for new version! Alarm-Synth.wav now does loop here ;)

Request/idea:

I'm having kind of a hard time setting snooze/expire/delay (maybe just my fingers...). Since you are not even using half the screen why not put the settings beneath description and enlarge setting/touch-space?

What also would be great would be a fast-forward on hold / could also think of this on setting alarm-time.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Yeah, I may do that. I wasn't sure what else may be on the settings page, so I made the buttons conservatively small. :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
Maybe you could implement a long-press context menu for delete and other actions?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] qalsaleh:
Thank you Koush for this marvelous work.

I was trying today the newest version (of Sep 18th) and found this bug:

I selected a (wav) alarm sound and the alarm went off on time and sound was ok and was repeating. The problem is that I could not stop it, neither through (Stop), (Snooz) nor through shaking or flipping it and I had to do a soft reset. I experienced this two times. I did not try it with other sound file formats.

I could not attach the log file with this post as I got a message that the file exceeds the permited file size to upload.

Thanks again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] stevedpl7:
@ Koush

Hi i was wondering if you'd had a chance to look at implementing the option to not allow a user to snooze from a sensor event if you are already snoozing. This would fix what you describe. I updated today and i'm still impressed but this one issue of mine is driving me bonkers in the morning!!!!

Just as a reminder of my problem, here it is again -

I know i've mentioned this before and i don't mean to go on about it, but i just know you have loads of things to work on and i just want to keep this idea fresh.

Many thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Thanks, I've added it to my To-Do list on the front page.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Can you email me the WAV file to koushik_dutta@yahoo.com?

Sorry about these sound looping bugs... I had to switch to Windows Media Player (due to volume issues) and Windows Media Player doesn't seem to like looping WAV audio. I don't know if I'm dong something wrong...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] stevedpl7:
Much appreciated, thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] laser21:
Hi,

Im using your version from 30.August, because since the new skin Im experiencing a problem.

Every time I want to add a new alarm, when I hit the final button - in the upper right corner to confirm the new alarm, Klaxon just quits. The alarm is not saved. I tried different sounds, settings..no luck.

When I leave my registry from the old klaxon, and install the new one, the alarms from the old one are shown, and they work. I just cant add new ones...

Feature request: Also I would like to have a setting for a default ringtone, so that I dont have to browse for it every time I set a new alarm.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ascorpion:
exactly the same problem here.

the only way to successfully set the alarm is to set as a ringtore a wav file.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Thanks for the log file, most people just report a bug but never attach a log file! Thanks to you, I know exactly why this is happening. :) I'll put in a fix that will address the problem tonight. Check your AppToDate or this post later tonight for a version 2.0.0.8+.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
This bug should be fixed now. Let me know.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Jorlin:
Fantastic new update. Love the new alarm screen.

Will try right now :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elvelynn:
I've installed the 2.0.0.6 and my choosed mp3-file plays only one time altough I set the expire-option to 10 minutes (longer as the file itself) :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] iridio:
Thanks Koush for your time in developing this app. It's nice and usefull!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] miland:
[BUG]

Latest version

Windows Alarms are now schedule with no sound, so all the user may see is a notification (if Home Screen integration is enabled)

alarm sound is still played when integration is enabled
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] raptuz:
Love the new looks of this fantastic program!

However, while I’m snoozing, the time freezes at the alarm time during the whole snooze period, making it impossible to follow the actual time... And I also miss the great “x-min. left of snooze period” from the earlier version...

Anyway, thank you very much. I’ll make you a well deserved donation today:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] stevedpl7:
Yes i second that, i did like seeing how much 'snooze time' i had remaining!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] z3us:
Hmm, I can't create an alarm 0_o, when I set the time and ring sound and then tap checkmark - your program closes withot any messages... Tried many times, after SR and HR - all the same.

PS sorry 4 my bad English, I hope I explained all correctly and you can understand me :)
