hello i need to know what is the bulb button for please?

i know about the flip and the shake controls, but there is another control on the left side (a bulb) and i don't know what is it for :(

thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Novus84:
it is for the lightsensor!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Bahamut:
So what that means? If i turn on the light of my room then it stops??? Does my phone "see" the light!? :confused::eek:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] djmvt:
Yep :D

pretty cool phone you have don't you think?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Bahamut:
OMG!! Very preatty phone! hahaha

I love my HTC Diamond more and more every day!!! :D

Thx!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jplucero:
only when i use my light sensor to activate as snooze, my phone vibrates every second. it doesn't stop until i flip it or turn the alarm off. is this normal or is it just me?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
I know I have serious problems with tf3d integration and I think not all my alarms ring too...

Looks like a bit of a mess right now to be honest.

I really want this app to work ok.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bozotheclown:
I downloaded the latest beta and it works great.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
That's normal. If you don't turn the light off, if you don't turn the light off, it will keep resnoozing (and vibrating to let you know it snoozed). You should use "disable while snoozed" option.

Also, please upgrade to 2.0.0.17!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Version 2.0.0.17

Skinning support implemented, sample skins will be released soon.

Completely stripped out the old Klaxon UI design and added QVGA support for the new skinnable UI.

Fixed bugs related to the new feature that allows you to disable sensors while snoozed.

Download and extract the new TestSkin into \Program Files\Klaxon\TestSkin to create your own skins.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
Koush, are there changes in the skin engine in .17 that make skins not to work? Because my edited skin (smaller snooze button, remember) failed to load and reverted to default (but only after a .Net CF crash and reload).

Also is there a DIRECT link to .17?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Yes, give me a couple minutes, still in the middle of updating my files and posts! http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/KlaxonSetup.cab will always be direct link to the latest version of Klaxon.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Download the new TestSkin base sample and copy your changed images over-- I had to change/add some images to start implementing QVGA support.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
ok thanks man
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] peron:
Does the new version unlock the phone automatically?

I hate having to unlock the phone before turning off the alarm.

Also ideally it should replace the ugly default windows alarm.

Other than that it's a great tool, downloading the new version now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] peron:
Ok I just tested it, it does not unlock the phone.

Can it be added in the next version please?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
good idea - vote #2
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ldmelo:
I am running a 2.0.0.11 on a htc dimaond. I have not installed the latest version yet (2.0.0.17), but I guess most of the bugs I noticed have already been fixed.

There is one very strange, though, not yet mentioned. The thing is:

Fresh install of the software. Create a new alarm for, say, 17hs. But, instead of 17hs, the alarm is triggered only at 18hs.

I guess it's something related to daylight savinf time (summer time).

After integrating it to the today screen the problem stops. Removing the integration the problem remains solved.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
There's a bug with Compact Framework and Daylight savings time. I highly doubt Home Screen Integration somehow fixed it.

Did you upgrade to .NET CF 3.5 or restart your device or something after installing Klaxon?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gamer007:
Been using this for a while. Though I'd finally say thanks. :)

One thing I've noticed is when I tick "Integrate with Home Screen," it doesn't show the alarm enabled in the Home tab. I have to open Klaxon and close it again for the alarm to show up on the Home tab.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] peron:
To answer my own query, after installing S2U2 and disabling the standard window lock I see that klaxon works as expected allowing me to snooze or switch off the alarm without first unlocking the phone.

Perfect!

Now one more question, what if I wake up early and I want to prevent the alarm to activate but still want it to function the next day?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
Integration with WM alarm is still a mess. Sorry I don't have another way of saying this.

Is there anyway I can help with debugging this? It is a pitty to stay like that.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Yeah, I'm well aware of this; you gotta realize it is a hack on top of a hack in the first place. HTC did their Home screen implementation in a really dumb way. Instead of looking at the NextAlarmTime property in the System\State registry, they are looking at the Windows alarms themselves. So the only way to make it work is to schedule a Windows alarm...

I've already given up on making the Windows alarm never go off-- that probably doesn't work because they automatically reschedule themselves at some point. So I have an alternate solution, when Klaxon starts up, it will look for any Windows Alarm notifications and forcibly dismiss them. So if the Windows alarm does go off, it will only be for a moment...

So no, it won't stay like that. But always remember-- you can disable it in the meantime if it is troublesome. That's why the option is there in the first place.

I will have time this weekend to work on Klaxon a bit more. I want to complete QVGA support and implement the fix I mentioned.

I also will be extending the Sensor SDK to hopefully support the Samsung Omnia, or really any Kionix accelerometer enabled device. So I'll have my hands full for the next few days.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] iridio:
Just two feature request:

1- automatic unlock the device

2- option to have incremental volume

And keep up the good work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Rabangus:
Hi,

Good work. A couple of bugs with 2.0.0.17 on the Raphael:

- Home screen implementation isn't working (windows alrms are correctly set and unset, but never show in TF3D)

- Can't select mp3s from storage card (suspect it's due to the number of them) - Klaxon tries to access the directory for a while and then exits without warning and without error message. Txt file attached:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Pitchb3nd:
Suggestion to solve a problem

Hi I've solved the problem with the windows default alarm activating itself when you click on the homescreen clock!!

I want to suggest my solution to the developer so he can implement it on future versions of klaxon. I used a tool called SSMaPa wich can be found here on xda, that tool lets you remap the homescreen-clock clicking-action to another app (klaxon itself for example) instead of showing the windows default alarm dialog, thus problem solved...

So maybe the developer could include in the klaxon installation cab a feature that will remap the clock-clicking action to launch klaxon instead of the default windows alarm dialog.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Malik05:
everytime i shake for snooze, it just turns off the alarm...i have to press the button everytime...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] diggy128:
[FEAT REQ] One time alarm

Hi everyone.

I would like to ask:

Is it possible to have a one shot alarm?

Often when I have something to attend to (that is not in the calendar) I set an extra alarm, but after going off I have to disable it until the next time I want to use it.

So it would be nice in the alarm setup screen to have a red (I say) checkbox next to the days checkboxes that would say today and if checked at the same time deselects all days checkboxes and disables itself after going off (after the delay that is).

What to you think?

Could it be implemented in the next version?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
By default shake is set up to turn off the alarm. Are you sure you changed it?

Also, shaking the alarm in the direction perpendicular to the screen may make the phone think it is being flipped.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
You can do a one-time alarm by scheduling an alarm with no days selected. Once the alarm fires, it will disable itself.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] diggy128:
THANK YOU!!!

You rock!

Didn't saw it coming. (Or actually being there).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
Sorry man but what are you talking about?

SSMaPa has already been mentioned in this thread and more than once (and trust me the developer knows about it).

This is not the problem that needs solution, the problem is how WM alarms are confused when using home-screen integration. Sometimes you hear both WM and Klaxon alarm, sometimes you delete an alarm and it stays active in WM etc.

BTW, to be more precise "you" didn't solve anything. SSMaPa dev solved it (if it was ever a problem).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] schmeichler:
Suggestion

change first post as follows:

move change-log/version-history to some other place... instead add 'list of features / what the tool does or can do', 'list of known bugs', 'upcoming features you are already working on', 'list of feature requests you are thinking of implementing' - and even 'list of feature-requests you are not considering of implementing'

now - all this might sound a bit overkill - but for one like me really following this thread reading the same questions and requests over and over and over again is quite annoying :/

and as I can somehow understand someone new not reading 60+ pages for god's sake people at least try the prog! Or try 'search this thread' ...

even though this is not contributing to Klaxon it self at all - please consider my 'first post idea' (I am assuming reading and answering the same stuff over and over is also pretty time-consuming for you)

thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
I have already compiled a wishlist. He may use it of course.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
Koush a question for you please. Have you checked your program's memory consumption?

Seems every time I try to open the application (esp. from TF3D - patched manila.exe) I get TerminateProcess and my apps die.

If a device like mine that has "only" 112MB free RAM, gets this, I wonder what happens with Diamond, or 128MB devices or 64MB devices.

I am not saying it's Klaxon's fault, but have you checked? Maybe .Net CF?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Around a 2-4 MB memory footprint.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ldmelo:
Happened again. Set the alarm for 7h45 am, but it went on only at 8h45 making me almost miss an appointment I had.

I had removed the "today screen integration" yesterday...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Can you send me the log file? This sounds like the daylight saving bug in Compact Framework, but I only ever saw that on emulators...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Version 2.0.0.19

When integrating with Home Screen, Klaxon now cancels all Windows alarms upon firing an alarm.

Turning off the screen when snoozing is now an option in settings.

Klaxon will now ask for confirmation if you try to create or edit an alarm that is set as disabled. Some users were accidentally disabling the alarm and pressing OK, and the alarm would obviously not go off.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] galt:
Awesome, thanks! Any chance setting volume level is coming soon? I'd like to use this in the next couple of days but the audio is so loud on my HTC Athena that it *will* give me a heart attack!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] galt:
Also, didn't see it posted anywhere, but the bottom of the app is cut off in some screens on the HTC Athena in landscape mode, like the options menu that lets you choose your skin, and when the alarm is going off the off button is barely visible.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] esset:
I have the same problem with the alarm setting of one hour too late. Here's the end of my log.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CrayZee:
Hi Koush. A question/request for you

Wouldn't it be more convenient to activate or deactivate specific alram by pressing on it in main window without entering to edit window?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] AnthRaX_Thy:
I think this alarm is quite good, but there is a little problem....

If I set more than 4 alarms, let say 9 alarm, 4 and a half of alarms were hidden, and my only option to edit those 4 alarm is to press the down button and try.

Anybody have the same problem of mine?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] xanatos2008:
Nice, the home screen integration works for me now, but im still getting the netcf 3.5 bug when trying to change WM alarm app to klaxon ussing SSMaPa.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Hi, is your clock in 24 hour mode?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Hmm, I can make a scroll bar show up, but it may not look pretty!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
If anyone is having "1 hour off" issues, please try installing this CAB and let me know if it fixes the problem.

If it does, I will package the fix with my installer.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rgonzruiz:
Hi Koush, great app! I'm just having problems with the snoozing function on my Omnia (using 2.0.0.19)... klaxon.exe crashes after snoozing in any way (by flipping the phone to snooze the alarm... or not using gestures and simply clicking on the snooze button)... I've tried disabling the new blank screen option as well as not integrating with home screen (not even sure that that even has any effect as this is not an HTC phone)... but the app always crashes... the CF crash message indicates the error occurs on the SamsungGsensor or something like that... any ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Can you send me your log file?

It is located in \Program Files\Klaxon\Klaxon.txt

The SamsungGSensor is pretty new, so there may be a bug in it. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rgonzruiz:
Here's the log... Thanks!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] esset:
Yes, 24h mode. Downloading the cab and we'll see if it works. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Version 2.0.0.20

Added Volume control option for alarm under Settings.

Fixed intermittent bug where Samsung G-Sensor exception went uncaught, causing an exception.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rgonzruiz:
Thanks... testing it right away!!

Edit: ...It works! Great... Thanks a lot!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rgonzruiz:
Just a quick couple of request reminders:

If one flips the phone in the middle of a snooze, then the snooze count restarts... (maybe just as there is an option for "disable while snooze" for gestures you can apply the same code to the flip gesture once the snooze period starts and disable it when it ends).

And second, an auto-snooze function would be nice (say after a minute of the alarm sounding off and not being either snoozed or turned off)...

Thanks a lot and keep up the great work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CyberGene:
By the way, just for information I have discovered yesterday that in the registry section for the G-Sensor there is a key whether the sensor should support shaking or not.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] esset:
The cab-file didn't work for me. I think the phone would've waken me up one hour too late, BUT! I got an SMS from a friend at 8.28 (should've rang at 8.00) and just after I heard the SMS-tone, the alarm started. So to me it sounds like some kind of wake-up-from-standby problem. But I'm not a programmer, great program anyhow!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Yes, there is a "disable while snooze" feature. :) Check the main settings.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rgonzruiz:
Yeah I know... I was simply stating the fact that the snooze timer restarts itself if flipped in the middle of the snooze time... I'm not sure if that's a bug or an intentional behavior?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] stevedpl7:
@ rgonzruiz

I mentioned this to Koush way back that if you flip 'mid snooze' the timer resets. He and quickly sorted the issue out. If you check the disable while snoozed box in the flip settings, then this will no longer happen.

Just make sure you have the latest version and you should have no probs. If it still resets then it must be something about your handset. Klaxon works perfectly in this respect.

@ Koush - thanks for all your help, all the best.

Steve
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] heretic:
Koush, I wrote about this a couple of times already, but it's been 2 updates already and the issue isn't fixed. I'm talking about the program crashing when I try to select a sound file for an alarm from \Internal Storage\My Documents where I have lots of .mp3 files. Do you plan to fix this or is it a feature? Please answer so I can stop bugging you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Thanks for the reminder, I've added this to my fix list on the front page.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rgonzruiz:
Thanks.. I hadn't realized the fact that the flip function didn't have the "disable while snoozed" option ticked.... my bad.

There's another symptom I've noticed and would like to confirm if its just me or not: while on snooze, if I try to use my phone, the Klaxon window stays on top in full screen (modal-like) and I must click on the red OFF button for it to go away.... yet still the snooze feature does remain working... Is it like this for others as well?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Wolfblood:
Hi Koush,

I saw you've release 2.0.0.20 but I can't found it on your web site. (Your BLOG still on 2.0.0.19) Please fix. Thanks a lot! :)

Good JOB!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] galt:
The download link is actually for the latest version.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
cool program.

like another user mentioned before, i've recently had the problem where the alarm sounds an hour too late.. i've had to set up an alarm for an hour earlier than i would like to make it go off at the right time.. any ideas why this would be? maybe some complication with daylight savings?

also, the flip to snooze function is way too sensitive.. if i pick up the phone off a high shelf, and gently put it down on my bed (without flipping anything), it counts it as a flip and makes it snooze...

using 2.0.0.20. thanks for a great app.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Can you tell me the time zone you are in, and are you using 24 hour mode?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
yes to 24 hour mode (as set in the phone settings, i can't see any klaxon option around 24/12 hour modes), and my timezone is AEST - sydney. +10 hours.

its fixed now, i changed the timezone to something else, applied it (and let it update all my calendar times), and then changed it back to sydney, and let it update all my calendar times again, and it seems to work now.

however it still highlights an issue i think with klaxon - my phone would say 8am, but klaxon would think it was 7am and fire the alarm an hour late until i did this. where does klaxon get its time from?

hmm.. does it work off the calendar? the klaxon alarm i'm pretty sure i setup before DST was applied.. i think. can klaxon work off the clock instead of the calendar to fix this maybe?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Klaxon doesn't use the calendar for scheduling, it uses the CeSetUserNotificationEx API, and just passes the time it wants to be notified.

That issue you describe (along with how you fixed it) sounds like the Microsoft DST bug; it's a known bug. It might affect the scheduler API that Klaxon uses. Thanks for telling me how you fixed it, I'll see if I can apply workaround programatically so it doesn't happen again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
sure. doing the timezone toggle also fixed my calendar entries.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TYSKEN:
can not find program\klaxon\klaxon.exe

How can i remove this error that I recieve every morning after uninstalling Klaxon? Serched in the forum fut do not find answer.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Reinstall Klaxon and delete all the alarms, then uninstall Klaxon.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] eteching:
Great tool but i doscovered following issues:

1. It seems, that the loading time for an alarm is very long: On my Diamond the backlight goes on 1minute before the alarm, then when the minute changes to the right value it takes appx. 20 sec. until the alarm is ringing.

2. Today morning my Diamon was on the charger(docking station-just power) and i noticed only a vibration twice. I did not touch the phone and nothing happend after all. No alarm, snooze screen was active. What can be the reason?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Devileyezz:
Hi,

I have this issue and it totally irritates me. Instead of just stopping or working with Klaxxon, the alarm actually comes in as a "reminder" as well.

So, let's say I have an alarm at 6am. It goes off, I hit snooze. Then, 2 mins later, the reminder goes off with that small bubble at the bottom. I have to hit dismiss. And then, I don't know if it's just my phone, but dismiss doesn't really dismiss. It comes back again.. (this is another issue altogether, happens to me on my calendar reminders as well)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] schmeichler:
issue with 'snooze turns off screen'

if I use this option I have the following problem (su2u is running on my diamond!):

first alarm works perfect, Klaxon gains focus over su2u, buttons are displayed and I snooze

second alarm after snoozing does not gain focus, so alarm sounds only for the timeout of su2u-screen and phone is dark again

when turning the phone on (this morning actually one hour later) the alarm resumes immediately still su2u-screen, I slide-to-unlock and get Klaxon

Have only done one test just now to reproduce (I'm pretty tired) - also one test without 'snooze turns off screen' which works as always. So it's not really a problem for me.

Today's log attached.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] amir77a:
I am having this issue as well.

I am also experiencing another bug:

A few days ago the summer clock (DST) was ended, meaning we switched the clock 1 hour back. Since than if I set Klaxon to alarm in 08:00, it will alarm in 07:00, and so on.

Finally request: I decide to give up using TF3D, using regular today home screen & plugins. Using that way, I have no way to know when the next alarm will fire.

Can you add a small today plugin that will display the next alarm schedule?

Thanks.

Amir.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
The fix for this is to change your time zone, then change it back.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] amir77a:
I did as you wrote.

Now the alarms, doesn't work at all anymore :(

The alarms are set, but doesn't fire up.
