Some things before I leave...

I soon leave for my 2nd week. Again, I do not have the change to reply here. If there are big problems, you can write me an email (as usual).

Square devices

The latest beta seems to work pretty well on devices with a square display (resolution like 240x240, 320x320 or 480x480 - thanks steve for reporting!)

Of course the skins don't look that good anymore. I post here some screenshots how it looks on square devices.

It would be cool if someone feels inspired to make some buttons which are perfect for square resolutions...

Just take the screenshots to get the ratio the buttons should have. As a screen resolution I would take the 480x480 so it really works on every device.

(simply double the width and height you measure in the screenshots)...

In the name of all users with square displays: Thank you in advance!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] felix-one:
Very cool App but...

Hi,

look realy cool this is the stile skin of Apps I like.

But unfortunately it worked only the first time I started.

After turning off and on my HTC_P4350 the following error appears:

I've tried with 0.7.4 on WM5...

:confused:

Any ideas?

PS: Sorry for the mistake with the pic. You answered too fast for me. wow ;-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
this is not an error of g-alarm.

which version of g-alarm do you use?

the error you sent me is about iPAT Dictionary - not G-Alarm
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] t0k0m0k0:
thank you it works great now ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
this error occurs because G-Alarm couldn't write the file \Windows\GAlarmToday.xml

Please check if a file with this name exists and if it does make sure that it is not write protected...

If it doesn't exist try creating an empty file and make it writeable...

Hi, thought I register to give you some feedback. I have an Omnia and everything works fine now except the snooze when turned down function. When I turn my phone nothing happens, the labyrinth works fine with the tilt sensor.

I copied the sensor dll file in to my windows dir and did not install anything else. (your games work all fine)

Also as you might know, the light sensor does not work (it is no HTC sensor), during testing the program quits.

Furthermore I really like the program, and will keep you informed.

If you need some translations to dutch you can ask me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kajoe:
Hi G-alarm

Here is the Dutch translation for version 0.7.4
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] felix-one:
YES. Uncheck the readonly + system tag on this file solved the problem.

But I have not a clue why it was checked...

Anyhow now I can enjoy your cool g-alert app!

Thanks a lot for your prompt help.:cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hendrixus:
Great software with fast updates.Thanks.

I will try it out on my 6915 square device and post some pictures. DONE. See the screen shots when you're back. The error I corrected by doing what it says I had to do.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kajoe:
Hi ageye

I have a few errors to report. When G alarm wakes up, I can snooze it. But when it wakes up again ionly S2U screen is there. No Snooze screen anymore. The second thing is maybe not a bug. When G alarm wakes up and I push the stop button, a screen pops up with the message to confirm closing. It must be enough when pushing the stop button.

Thank you. Kajoe
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giovag7:
I very disagree your opinion, pop up message to confirm closing is an essential safety to prevent accidental pushing of stop button (at early morning is possible to be wrong).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Torakiki76:
hy, there is a final version of G-Alarm Italian?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HarryTheSatman:
This you can turn off when you choose "edit alarm" First screen "confirm closing".
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ediking007:
Awesome application! Great work! Thank-You!

May be small bug:

When you setup the one-time alarm with option to "delete alarm after execution" the alarm is really disappears, regardless of "Snooze". Meaning, you have no chance to activate "Snooze" option in one time alarm.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fredcatsmommy:
even with the volume on the phone on, I only get vibrating alarm, though I have it set up for the .wav file.

G-alarm on I-mate Jasjar (HTC Universal): problems from sleep modus + boot errors

OK, I'm back ;-)

Here is what I found out after my next testrun: With password enabled, user info disabled, on battery, power off. The alarm starts, but is blocked by the password window. I enter the password and the PW window disapears. I see that the G-Alarm window minimizes in a flash. FYI: I run T-manager. I need to switch to G-alarm so I can snooze it.

Looks like the mentioned password fix would be a good start.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobzero:
Problem.

using 0.74 on NFSFAN's 1.20 ROM for Bell.

After setting the alarm in g alarm, and allowing it to apply fix for windows alarm bug, the M2D home screen does not show that the alarm is ON.

The alarm however is ON and does work, checking the box to show status on M2D in the options does not fix it either.

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hklcf:
hello,

i have this error msg again..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] outphase:
I am running 0.7.5beta, and something is inaccurate in the snooze timer. I currently have it set for 300 sec (5 minutes). When the alarm comes back from snooze, at least 7 minutes have passed. I tested this again and had an alarm snooze at 5:45:00. At 5:46:50, I noticed the snooze counter had only gone down to 251.

I think the counter gets messed up whenever the backlight gets turned off. I am running an AT&T Tilt, WM6.1 with S2U2 and Manila2D.

I also tried running snooze from test alarm. At some point after 200 sec remaining and the backlight off, the timer jumped back to 260.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I tried out this alarm again, and on my 700wx (240x240) I get the wrong scaling, was there a different file I should have downloaded?

P.S. this is with v0.7.4
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HarryTheSatman:
G-Alarm on I-Mate Jasjar, starts minimized

Did a new test this morning. Password disabled, user info disabled, on battery, power off. The alarm starts, G-Alarm window is again minimized and need to "switch" to the app before I kan snooze it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mistertb:
I'd like to suggest another future. I like to wake up very slowly with music not that loud, but when I don't wake the music should slowly get louder. The fading function in combination with the volume settings is fine, however the option to choose a fading length to the preset volume would be nice. for example:

- Force volume 60%

- Fade in length 30 secs

so every 5 secs the volume will be 10% louder till it reaches 60% after 30 secs. I think this might be possible with minor changes as you already have the fade in function.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Meuterich:
Hei,

try to install G-Alarm to the device memory and not to the sd card. I had have this error message for a short time as i have installed G-Alarm at my sd card.

M.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SnowKhan:
Very good suggestion !

Would be usefull for me too ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] [germany]merlot:
I think you have to download the 0.7.5 Beta 1. This beta version is auto scalable. Works great on my Omnia (240x400). Only the graphics are in a wrong ratio.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Thanks guys for pointing me in the direction of the beta version for square screens, and I would post screenshots, but something happened with installation....I can't run this app and a handful of others because my .NET Compact Framework is corrupted...I can't get around it yet either. Any CAB I can find for it won't install, so until I can find a cure, or answer, I have to step back from this app, I don't want to jinx it, just letting you know in case it is a glitch in the app, it may have been a clash with an existing app on my device though!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ChiChiWaWa:
Love G-ALarm, but have an annoying little problem though I haven't figured out exactly what triggers it.

Using version 0.7.4

It has now happened twice (in the 4 days that I use the program) that for some reason my alarms all turn out to have an auto-snooze set of 2 seconds. Initially, I had set it to 120 seconds, but figured it might not work properly so left it at 0 the second time. Found the HTC Touch this morning alive and the alarm snoozed.

When the snooze-time was passed, it simply auto-snoozed again, which explains why I never heard a thing.

Whenever I try to reproduce it (turning the device off and on, doing soft resets, ...) I fail, but like this, I cannot trust G-Alarm to wake me up :(

Any clues?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mistertb:
I had the exact same problem, luckely during testing, but I thought I had done something wrong.

Also found out that when I snooze the alarm (5 mins), and receive an SMS during snoozing. The phone overrules G-alarm and the timer stops. After reading the sms (which I did 10 mins later) G-alarm continued.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smartkid:
I have the same problem each time when I Activate/deactivate any of the alarm, the Auto-snooze will automatically be set to 2 seconds. I nearly miss my flight today.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jakkrith:
Dear Developer

I have install G-Alarm and S2U2 on my Asus P535 WM6.1 and I thought there are some conflict together.

1. When I have enable S2U2 and open G-Alarm sometime it could not open program and show error message.

2. When I have disable S2U2 and open G-Alarm it work fine without any error.

Best Regards.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deuzeff:
I would recommend to set a seperate alarm as security when you have something important to do :rolleyes:... This alarm system is in constant developpement, thus bugs can occur ;).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gramon:
This happened to me this morning. I've been using G-Alarm for a couple weeks now and not seen this. The only thing I did different was I moved the main alarm from 6:30 to 6:55. I never went to the auto-snooze page for this alarm. Luckily I was woken by other means. Upon testing, I noticed the auto-snooze wsa set to 2 seconds. The down arrow would not let me drop below 2. I pushed the up arrow and moved it to 12 and higher and then back down to 2. Clicking in the field and bringing up the keyboard allowed me to change it to zero.

Back again,

just a few things because I'm in hurry ;-)

1. Thank you for reporting all bugs / ideas

2. Auto-snooze bug: will be fixed in 0.8 which I will release today - sorry for that! I just don't use some functions by myself and therefore never experience those problems

3. Translators

Please don't post the files here - send me an email! and please use Unicode encoding otherwise I won't include it!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Just released v0.8

not many changes but had to release it because of the auto-snooze bug

http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=download
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] outphase:
v.8 still has the bug where the snooze timer jumps back up for me. I watched my snooze timer run down. While snoozing from 300, the timer restarts when it hits ~180. I am thinking this is because I have my autosnooze set to 120. I am also hitting snooze within a few seconds of the alarm going off.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
this is something I can use ;-)

thank you for the hin with the auto snooze... I will see what I can do. for now deactivate autosnooze...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hanackin:
Hi Ageye !

Good to see you back ! :D:D

You forgot to change the Title! :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] y_bother:
great job :D

thanx mate..

just one question plz.

when i started it up for the first time it say something that i have the alarm bug on my device.

what is it plz?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giovag7:
I Ageye, welcome back!

I have noted two bugs:

1) When i snooze alarm by moving telephone or by power on the light, the first time it work, but not at the followings (nothing happens in this case).

2) If i set two alarms one across the other (ie first at 7.30 and second at 7.50, with 30 min duration each), and i continue to snooze the first along 30min, the second alarm don't start.

Thank you...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mxb:
Very nice alarm

This alarm finally suits my needs. I wrote this comment just to tell you that and ask of you to keep it lite. Just an alarm. The more features you add the more bugs you'll have. So keeping it lite might be just what is needed to have a fully functional alarm clock. Thank you.

P.S. Did i mention this is way better than any other alarm clocks? And i've tried alot.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giovag7:
I think the same: as it is this alarm has perfect features. I think that you should only solve some bug and it will be very perfect.

P.S. I would add only adjustable sensitivity of the g-sensor (like light sensor).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Thank you for your huge report! I will try to add this feature (I'm curious if it works on WM 6 as the creator of CradleAlarm says it works only in WM5)

your other problems:

1. the savest way to run an alarm software is to install it directly on the ROM

2. minimized after PIN: please check the option "Show alarm over all windows": this should work

thank you for the bug reports

1) I can't reproduce this behaviour! Please try it again with the latest version 0.8.1 I just released a few minutes ago

2) I'm not able to change this - Windows Mobile allows only one instance of a program which makes it nearly impossible to run 2 alarms at the same time.

I don't think that this feature is important because who needs 2 alarms at the same time?

That's my intention, too. I've thought about making a G-Alarm lite for older devices without skins, mazes, tilt sensor support, etc. But this would cost me a lot of time which I don't have now...

New version: v0.8.1

The other auto snooze bug forced me once again to release this new version without too many new features (I'm starting to hate the auto-snooze ;))

Autosnooze doesn't seem to be messing with regular snooze anymore, but sometimes snooze doesn't count at the proper speed. Ex: I snooze at :00 and it eventually ends at :35
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chasist:
what more can i say to this little piece of software??

BRILLIANT!!

THE BEST ALARM CLOCK FOR PPC

AND ITS FREE!!!

Im waiting for more stable release..and my pay day so that i can donate :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jakkrith:
Thank you again for last update version 0.8.1

This version stable than 0.7.5 it work fine together with S2U2 :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giovag7:
Mmmh i don't know, i try again snoozing by g-sensor (version 0.8.1 with light sensor disabled or not) but it doesn't seem to work well: sometime it work, sometime not, sometime with little movement, sometime only moving hard, sometimes with long delay (3-4 sec) it seem.

I have same problems also with light sensor (a question: it read the absolute value of light or the relative change of it? If it read absolute value, i think should be better to read the relative change, because in the morning the room should be a little enlightened).

I never had problems with auto snooze instead.

Thank you.

New version released: 0.8.2

Again only bug fixes and stability improvements...

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

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

I will be pretty busy the next weeks but I try to include as many features as possible. Todo list: http://www.ageye.de/?s=galarm/todo

@Countdown timer and stop watch: This is one of the features I'd like to make next. But I'm still not sure wether to make a new tool (called G-Watch or something) or include it into G-Alarm...

On the one hand I want G-Alarm to have many features on the other hand it may happen that G-Alarm will get to big - and the fact that it runs most reliable on the ROM forces me to keep G-Alarm as small as possible...

we will see...

I will try to improve that...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] maaafeb05:
Just a question,

Can this work in the HTC Touch Cruise or not?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
why shouldn't work it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KukurikU:
thank you! love yr program. sent you an incentive...lol! keep the good work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mistertb:
I'll suggest you set a goal of what to achieve with G-alarm. I think it is to give everyone the best and easiest way to wake up. So I don;t think you should add other futures like stopwatch or so. Leave G-alarm just as it is now, maybe make an G-alarm Pro with the stopwatch future included so people can choose. I like G-alarm as it is now. I don't need lot's of different tools (read: bugs) on it as I need to trust my alarm. I think you did/do a perfect job so far!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] [germany]merlot:
That's my opinion too. I'd prefer two small apps. It's easier to use and you can decide which one you want to start. The Pro version is a very good suggestion.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hanackin:
hey that's a pretty good idea, i like how the G-alarm pro sounds :D

I aslo agrre it will be better to make two seperate tools, one with only alarm and the complete one! I will be waiting for this one :D:D

unable to read storage card

Hi, I just downloaded beta 0.7.5 version and I find it very cool. The program is not reading the mp3 files from storage card but it is able to find if I copy the mp3 to device. Am I missing something or this feature is not yet available? I am using Tmobile Wing with open touch customized rom. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hanackin:
hi spk_xda,

try to download and install the 0.8.2 version instead

It will be better :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sylvia:
That is my opinion, too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giovag7:
Same for me. My suggestion is: leave g-alarm as it is (solve all bugs only).

I don't like pro version idea: is better to have another software for stopwatch (more lightweight is better and fast, with less bugs).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
is there an error message? If yes, could you please make some screenshots and post them here!

what is the exact path to the mp3 file? Probably it's to long, just paste it here...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ToddeSwe:
I seccond that to, and you can remove the labyrinths as well and put them into the pro version as well. It's to good and to importand piece of soft to mess with :)

ToddeSwe
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orlandojumpoff:
the mazes are what makes me use this alarm over the others., please do not take them out. Having an option to have them enabled or not, as you already have, is more than enough. I believe one of the reasons this alarm was created was to have something unique like the mazes. It definitely separates itself from the rest and has been incredibly successful.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spk_xda:
Thanks Han. I will try the latest version. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spk_xda:
Hi, there was not any error message...and the path of the songs are

"\Storage Card\Songs\English\song name.mp3" and then I copied the song to phone memory at "\Temp\song name.mp3" and then only it appeared in the screen so that it can be selected. Thanks for looking into this. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
so you can't even select songs which are on your storage card? can't you browse there? can you make screenshots of the filebrowser?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] korro:
I have one feature request.

Now, we have snooze time for each alarm.

What I want is

new, small button (independent from configured snooze time) on alarm screen,

witch will let me choose from list snooze time,

for example: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 minutes.

I don't know if You understand me.

I will give example.

Normally my 'Work' alarm starts at 06:50am and have snooze time 5 minutes.

Today I have hangover, I want to sleep longer than usually, so I have possibility to choose snooze time 30 minutes instead of clicking 'Snooze' button six times.

What do You thing about this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
You're not on drugs - this may happen. Thanks for the bug report. I'll change that as soon as possible...

That's a good idea. Unfortunately I'm not really a good designer. Could you help me in making some finger friendly buttons and checkboxes?

Usually it should play all songs from the playlist and repeat the whole playlist! Does it stop after one song on your device? I will check it again on my device!

This is because G-Alarm is still in the notification queue. I will release an uninstaller soon - until then you can use a tool which cleans the notification queue from wrong entries like SKTools

Sorry, my mistake ;-) from now on the alarms.xml won't be overwritten/deleted anymore

I'll rework the fade-in option. It is difficult for me to do that because everything works fine on my two devices and so I don't really know if the new code works on other devices, too. But please: stay tuned and for so long, don't use the fade-in option.

OK Button: you're right. you have to exit the application by clicking on Exit. I totally forgot the OK button. I'll implement it in the next version

Error screenshots: Thank you for that - you help me a lot with those screens! I will fix those bugs....

Thank you all for your fast replies, bug reports and ideas!
