Sound level and snooze problems in Sprint Mogul

I am using version 0.9.4 on my Sprint Mogul (PPC6800) with WM 6.1. Three problems:

1) The sound of the songs that I have selected is low although the phone volume is at max and the sound of the same songs played by the WM Media Player is loud under the same phone settings.

2) When the battery is low, the screen of the alarm comes on but no sound.

3) Sometimes, when I snooze more than a few times, the alarm does not go off again (The snooze keeps resetting or gets frozen).

I used to use version 0.2.2, and this version had no problem with the sound level of the music. The only problem version 0.2.2 was that the snooze feature did not work at all if the snooze time was altered from the default value (one minute). The snooze kept on getting reset without my doing so or got frozen.

Thank you for the program. You concept is excellent, and adds needed utility to PDAs.

(P.S. I posted my comments on Freeware Pocket PC website before I came across this discussion page.)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
when do you guys try checking the latest version before reporting bugs :)

all points should be fixed in 0.9.6

i am getting constant netcf 3.5 errors/force quits withthis program. sometimes the alarm doesnt even come up

i have netcf3.5 installed which is the weird thing
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
ONCE AGAIN

please post the full error details! Otherwise I cannot help you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
sorry, i would if i could but it doesnt always happen. if it happens again soon i will write it down and post it here
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chris10230:
hello i installed the new version today and now when i open up the program i get an error from windows saying

This application (\Storage Card\Program Files\ageye\G-Alarm\Interop.WMPLib.dll) requires a newer version of the microsoft .NET Compact Framework that the version installed on the device.

Hope you can fix the error also i already have the .net framework version 3.5 already installed so i do not know why the error is really coming up.

Cheers hope you can work out the problem and excellent program
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FrederickUK:
0.9.6 isn't working properly for me either :(

I set an alarm for this morning, it went off ok the first time, but after hitting snooze and having the snooze time out, the mp3 played again but it was crackly, distorted and it sounded like it was playing the same song twice.

Not sure if I'm barking up the right tree here, but it sounds like it's loading the mp3 into a buffer and not clearing it upon reloading the song when the alarm replays after the snooze, and then it's playing two files together...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
found a bug with the new version..

it does not play the sound files when the alarm is activated but it does vibrate..

i can only hear the music file if i press next song

otherwise seems to be working

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
do you use wma or mp3 or wav?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
all mp3 set to play at random order

playback works, but only if i press the next song button .. it wont start on its own with the vibration (which worked) of the alarm

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
New version released: 0.9.6.1

I'm trying to fix the playback bugs. It would be very nice if everyone could test 0.9.6.1 if the playback works (also try pressing "next song")

If there are still any errors, please tell me which file format you use and the exact steps you performed...

Sprint Mogul (PPC 6800) and ver. 0.9.6

I loaded the new version (0.9.6) on my Sprint WM6.1 Mogul (PPC 6800) as you suggested. This new version did solve the low sound problem that was in ver. 0.9.4. and 0.9.5. The songs play as loud as my PDA is capable of. (All my songs are wma files.) However, the snoozing problem has gotten worse.

When the snooze time is over, the maze screen comes up, and the phone locks up, requiring a soft reset. In the maze screen, I see a pop up in the middle saying something like: connecting to Sprint #777. It does this every time, I snoozed, and the phone locks up.

Furthermore, when the alarm goes off, it plays the first song well, but it cannot continue to the next song: the phone locks up, and requires a soft reset.

This problem of the phone locking up during the alarm or after snoozing was not present in ver. 0.9.4 or 0.9.5; it started with ver. 0.9.6. The problems in the two previous versions was that the loudness of the songs (a problem that ver. 0.9.6 solved) and the snooze occasionally did not work as I described in my previous post.

Another problem is with the Today Home plugin. For Example, instead of dispaying 8:00 AM, it displays 8:0 AM although there is plenty of room on the screen to display the full time. Sometimes, when I soft reset the phone or uncheck an re-check the Today screen plug in, it may display all the digits. (Please note that the plugin problem was present in previous versions such as ver. 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 too. But I had forgotten to report it in my previous post.)

Let me know whether you need any other info.

Best of luck.

Have there been any issues with the HTC Fuze? I had no problem installing it and so far it is great. Just curious. Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FrederickUK:
Certainly seems to have fixed the "doubled up" crackly/distorted sound I had before :) nice one :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
still I'm not happy with the current solution.

That's why I completely changed the playback system and will release 0.9.6.2 tonight (even with aac/m4a support)

stay tuned and thanks for your patience...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
New version released: v0.9.6.2

1.

I finally got the player from GreenSoftware working in G-Alarm. This is the new and only playback mode G-Alarm uses.

It supports wav, mp3, wma, ogg, aac/m4a. With this code I could also make the fade in smoother...

please report if you have any playback problem with this new version and tell me which file formats you use

2.

New installation routine: You can save now some Kb by deleting language files and the aac plugin after the installation...

Changelog: http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=galarm/changelog

Download: http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=download

Thank you for your patience and testing

this should be fixed with 0.9.6.2

Please tell me if everything works now...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TVDinner:
Ageye

If I just installed 6.2 on my Fuze and it seems to be working fine for me, is there any reason to install this new update at this time? Just curious. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
it's always the best to use the latest version of G-Alarm because from version to version I fix bugs and improve the stability.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TVDinner:
OK - can you please explain the easiest way to upgrade. Do I delete the current install and potentially lose the skins I downloaded, or can you just upgrade somehow? Thanks again for the info and I look forward to hearing back from you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
you don't have to delete anything! simply start the installation of the new version. You will be asked if you want to uninstall the old version first -> yes

all your settings, alarms and skins will NOT be removed
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TVDinner:
sweet. thank you! I will install new version now!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobzero:
Thank you!

Slight problem with 0.9.6.2, when I tested a quick alarm, the sound came on briefly at MAX volume, then dropped to nearly silent and faded back to loud.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
file format? how long is "briefly"? what is your fade in time?

thanks for reporting

EDIT Could reproduce this error and will release a bugfix soon

thank you!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TVDinner:
I just ran a test on setting a regular alarm (not the quick one) and it worked perfectly for me, played the mp3 i set up, vibrated as i set up, and showed the skin i downloaded correctly. I then hit snooze and the Fuze went back to sleep so to speak and 180 seconds later it came back on, did the countdown to the next alarm starting and as scheduled started playing the second song on my list, vibrating as set up, etc.

Seems to work perfectly for me on my FUZE.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] huynhc:
my skin is not working correctly in g-alarm. i install the skin but the main screen where the alarms are displayed is not changing from the default skin. Basically the rest of the g-alarm is changed except the area where all the alarms are. Hope I am clear in what I am trying to get across. Any solution? I am running stock Sprint ROM (USA) on a HTC Touch Pro.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] del4:
Thanks for the new release and the new install options to save some storage space! Any chance you could add one more so we could opt to not install the default skin, thereby saving another 385KB? This would be great for those of us who use a different skin.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zard:
From website, v0.9.6.3 download is v0.9.6.1. Not sure what is happening.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
which skin are you using? Many skins are a bit out of date. I changed the start screen with version 0.9.4 and included 3 new skin files (select.png, alarm_active.png alarm_inactive.png)

Only the latest skins contain their own version of these images.

I thought about that but this is a bit difficult. the skins were made for different versions of g-alarm and therefore many skins don't contain all images which are needed for the latest g-alarm (see above)

If G-Alarm would delete the default skin most of the other skins wouldn't work.

I think experienced users know what to do and delete the files manually.

I checked it again. 0.9.6.3 is on my website:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ah_hin:
thank you for the great apps
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pintasmapila:
Some requests and ideas...

Now it's working great on my Trinity! Had some problems with S2U though, but the power button sleep mode does it for me.

Request: Please consider substituting the system alarm clock like some alarm apps do to make the today alarm icon useful for something.

Idea: Why not disable the music when the user starts the maze!? Music could be disabled for 2 seconds (or something) after pressing the first direction key, so the alarm wouldn't bother anyone else, and if the user stops pressing for 2 seconds, it keeps going.

Just a thought...

THANK YOU! Best alarm ever! Serious
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eastmushu:
It's not there anymore... It was there when I first posted it's still on 0.9.6.1, now it's really 0.9.6.3... All is fine now... Thank you again... :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deuzeff:
Hi Ageye,

small feedback on v0.9.6.3. Using previously 0.9.6, I had problem with playback:

- cracky sound after some minutes of continuous playback (that's to say 10 minutes or so). When the sounds became distorded or blocked in a 2s-loop, no way to do anything else than soft-reseting

- for some reason, songs were sometimes cut before the end, then switch to the next one (at first I thought I was so un-awaken that I dreamt it, but it happened the next day also :p).

0.9.6.3 is definitely a go, both problems disappeared ;).

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eazy2001x:
Ageye,

Not sure if this has been addressed but the issue where the phone is off and you have an alarm set for a given time and that time has passed then you turn the phone back on it back in the new version 0.9.6.3. Soon as I turn the phone back on the first thing I see after it boots is the G-Alarm notification screen (stop/snooze).

Thanks,

Eazy
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] echolock:
Nice app, thanks :)

A quick suggestion for a feature - you can get alarm clocks that gradually light up before they go off, it's supposed to help with Seasonal Affective Disorder and provides a more natural wakeup feeling.

I wonder if this would be possible to simulate using the backlight? i.e. a couple of minutes before the alarm is due to come on, the backlight turns on and gradually gets brighter until the alarm goes off?

Just an idea :)

Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
that's true. I don't know how to fix this issue... I thought of ignoring alarms which would go off some minutes too late but I'm not too sure if there may go something wrong...

funny idea... but this is not possible.

there is now way to control the backlight that works on every device...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamupapers:
still having problems with version 9.6.3

app crashes firing the alarm:unable to find dll Pinvoke "mp.dll". i found the dll in the main folder of the app

device p3600,wm 5, italian rom (if it matters) installed on device (installation on sd doesn't work either,same error)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
does it work if you copy all the dlls which are in the main folder of the app to the \Windows directory
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] echolock:
Ah well, was worth a shot :) Thanks again for the great app :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamupapers:
:( no, it doesn't work :(

Is there a way to register dlls like in windows (regsvr32?)

In the meantime i'm going back to 0.8.6, this works for sure
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shahriar5252:
Hi Ageye:

Thank you for version 0.9.6.3 of G-alarm. It solved all the major problems that I reported for Sprint Mogul (PPC 6800) using WM6.1 and wma files. The snoozing feature works, the phone no longer locks up when it comes out of snoozing or after the first song after snoozing, and the sound is as loud as the device permits. In a nutshell, the alarm works in Sprint Mogul with this version of G-Alarm.

As for the Today screen plugin problem, I reported that it shows 8:0 AM instead of 8:00 AM despite adequate room to display all the digits. Version 0.9.6.3 solved this error, and the Today screen of Mogul now shows 8:00 AM. However, another problem has been created: Instead of showing 10:09 PM, it now shows 10:9 PM. Additionally, sometimes when I turn on the phone or click off a program, the Today screen Plugin for G-Alarm does not show up. I have to go to settings and disable the plugin and turn it back on to solve bring the plugin back.

With the previous versions of G-Alarm that were problematic, I removed them by going to erase programs menu of WM6.1. However, after doing so, a warning screen would come on whenever I turned on my Sprint Mogul saying something like g-alarm.exe cannot be found. In case of need to delete the program for trouble shooting purposes, a clean erase will be necessary. Please let me know whether the erasing of the program can be adjusted to do a clean erase to prevent such annoying error messages.

A Suggestion: Can you also make the green/red toggle box in the Today plugin a little bigger? Increasing the length (making it a rectangle instead of a square) is also a good idea. Better yet, you can just make the G-Alarm's symbol (GA) that appears to the left of the green/red toggle box in the Today screen plugin do the job by turning red as indication of the alarm being off.

Another Suggestion: When I want to add songs from a folder, I have to click on the box of each song in the selection panel. This repetition is time consuming if the folder has many songs in it and I want all of them to be part of the G-alarm's music selection. Can you add a box on top of all the other boxes of the songs in the selection panel of G-Alarm so that by clicking that box all the other boxes will be selected?

Thank you a lot for G-Alarm. Let me know if you need any other info.

Hi ageye

I've updated to v0.9.6.3 yesterday and this morning ... no alarm!

I think it's again my bug with g-alarm when auto-lock is running.

But I've ask auto-lock dev and his app is written in pure C so the .net error comes from g-alarm.

I'll also post this bug is the auto-lock thread, maybe he can find something.

request

Great program! I'm not so into the maze thing, but the alarm works like a charm (once I installed the player plugin - otherwise it didn't alarm and gave me an error screen). I have a request - I really like having something on my screen that says I have an alarm upcoming, but don't want to use up precious real estate. Can you give an option for the menu bar or task bar? Just an icon that shows if there is an alarm within 24 hrs? That way it's quick access without taking up a whole line on the today screen.

Thanks again.

I understand.. It was working in 0.9.6. Also i had something weird happen this morning when the alarm went off the vibration would not stop even after i hit stop.. it just kept going on and on and on.. instear of turning the phone off which seemed like the only fix. i ended up starting g-alarm and hit test alarm, when the test came on and i hit stop the vibration stopped.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giovag7:
Hi Ageye,

is possible to restore g-sensor sensitivity as in the version 0.9.4? In this version it work very fine, but from it to the last is very hard (and dangerous!) to snooze the alarm by moving the phone.

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
New version released: 0.9.7

G-Alarm should work with Windows Mobile 5 again. Please try it and test it...

And a new feature:

I will answer your posts below...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Please install G-Alarm on your device! Not on your storage card or internal storage...

you can use the today plugin of G-Alarm or S2U2 or any similar program to view the next alarm...

It didn't work on 0.9.6 - I haven't implemented this feature in any release of G-Alarm...

@vibration: this may happen! I will check my code again...

it should work now with windows mobile 5 again. Please test it and report me

Today plugin should display the correct time format now...

@green/red toggle box: expo7 and me are working on v1.0 of G-Alarm which will have a complete rewritten today plugin...

@songs from a folder: simply check the checkbox on the upper part of the screen beside the folder name... every file within the folder will be selected

unfortunately no subdirectories will be selected, yet

I think I haven't changed the sensitivity... do you mean the shake sensitivity? I can try decreasing it...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Micht:
I'm installing it on my device :(

And for .net I've not installed it, it's the version given with WM 6.0

I'll try 0.9.7 and give feedback tomorrow if I wake up ^^
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giovag7:
It seems that the snooze by moving the phone is sensitive only to orizontal movements. In version 0.9.4 instead it was sensitive to movements in any tilt and direction...

I think that in this step something went wrong ...:( Face down/up and shaking mechanism was perfect until 0.9.4.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
you're right. you know my changelog better than me ;-)

I had to change it because of Samsung Omnia implementation... I try to find a solution for everyone...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giovag7:
Ok

PS: your new site is very beautiful...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamupapers:
0.9.7 works perfect, now (in WM5 of course)! Thanks for your great work!

just a small bug: ending a Quick Alarm, appears a confirmation box saying "Close the alarm", i think it is not bind to language files.

another one: in advanced option form, the last box is selected but has no description (the one after -add s2u2's excetion list-)

I attached an updated italian language file
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giovag7:
