Installed the new version and it now crashes when I want to edit an alarm on my Omnia. I installed it on my storage card!

Edit: Nevermind, I erased the alarm and created a new one. Working now!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MaXyM:
First thank you for great software. I can see you are working hard on it, and it is still under developement.

I want do report a bug (serious one) which appeared in different versions. I haven't been tested it with the latest version, but I cannot see this bug fixed in changelog.

Bug appearance:

from time to time: once a month

Bug description:

1. Alarm set to 7am.

2. Alarm didn't happened

3. when I awake at 9:48, G-Alarm says that there is 6 hours and 12 minuts left (4pm??)

4. when enter time edit mode and apply (without changes) time left value turns into correct one.

Device:

Eten X500+

WM fix installed (from G-Alarm)

Issue didn't happened with other alarm software.

Ogg Vorbis

Very nice job and programs, personaly I use it but I would like to put some ogg vorbis title in the list, can you please integrate the plugins or the gsplayer cause the wmp don't read the vorbis.

Thank to all you do to the community

Best regard.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aceracer24:
Awesome job doing all of those fixes. I can only imagine how hard it is to find the problems.

I have installed the newest version and testing to see if the busy state is fixed. I did notice right away that galarmreload has been replaced with galarmwakeup. There are three of those just like there were three galarmreloads. Just wondering if they serve the same purpose and if it might still cause the same problems. Either way I am going to test it out until I get a response or figure it out myself.

EDIT: The issue appears to have been solved. After at least 10 min of video, I didn't see one busy icon pop up. Of course more testing is needed but I think you fixed this issue. Thank you for taking the time to figure it out!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] electron73:
I second that (first one). Executing a program (with possibility to pass parameters) would be great!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rootwind:
Anybody having an issue where the sound is all garbled if you install over the previous version?

I also get crashing when I try to edit any alarm.

The problems went away when all my settings were wiped, and I started over again. Happened both on my CDMA Touch Diamond and Titan.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] snachez:
On my TyTnII I am getting a crash if I try to edit an existing alarm. The loudness is also way way higher than before, makes it sound all distorted and crackly. Previous builds worked perfectly, but this new one is giving me hassles. Let me know if I can give you help in more bugshooting ageye.

FIXED IN 0.8.1 - READ BELOW :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
New version released: 0.9.8.1

I reply to your ideas/bug reports later... I have to go to work now...

with v0.9.8.1 I fixed the bug when editing an alarm. This was because of the new preamp feature (G-Alarm took a wrong default value which made it crash and let the playback be way to loud - sorry for that)

I also try to fix the bug that the wrong time is displayed! Please report me if it's displayed correctly now in 0.9.8.1

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

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

Sorry for the new bugs ;-) Now everything should work fine... Thanks for your patience...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] electron73:
Dude, you're the best! Sound is now working perfectly here. Even with the RING VOLUME bug in my AT&T Fuze G-Alarm now correctly sets the volume of the SYSTEM and RING sliders and voila... Tune plays even though phone was set on "silent" or "vibrate" before.

Thanks for the super fast support. Ever thought of making this open source and manage a dev team?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] snachez:
Thanks mate, this now works as expected. the crashing is gone and volume are back to normal.. one small minor aesthetic detail, the time seems to be chopped off in the today plugin, I can only see half of the zero in 7:30 - like its being cropped to soon ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] w04g005:
Same here for me!! Sound is very crappy! Version 9.8 ! Error when editing an alarm! I'll try the new version later today
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giovag7:
I Ageye,

Do you think you can work on g-sensor and light sensor problems?

I still use version 0.9.4 because in this version g-sensor work well.

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vangrieg:
First of all, thanks for the wonderful program!

It works fine on my HD except one annoyance - the volume is too low despite setting it to 100%. I tried to use the "alternative playback" mode, but then only the first alarm sounds, the device only vibrates after snoozing.

What gives? Am I doing something wrong?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vangrieg:
I should learn to read before posting - the latest version seems to solve the issue.

Thanks for the quick update!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] johanromijn:
@ageye

I've got the same problem.

I woke up this morning with G-Alarm, and I thought the speaker of my phone was broken!!

I sounded very crappy, extremely loud and even more distorted.

Then I reinstalled version 0.9.7.2 and then the problem was solved.

Using version 0.9.8.0 will definitely damage my speaker, any fixes for this?

-------------------------

OK, I see it should be fixed in version 0.9.8.1 I'll try that one. Tnx

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] grodri02:
What is the today plug-in? And how do you activate it? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orlandojumpoff:
um, for those complaining about 9.8 and sound... didn't you notice ageye released 9.8.1 a few posts above your posts? try that, maybe it fixes the problem...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dr g:
ApptoDate FTW (although I admit I reverted to 9.5 before realizing there was a 9.8.1)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] electron73:
And there is a little slider named "preamp" that needs to be in the middle position or the sound will be too loud (distorted)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] electron73:
Very useful! Shows the next alarm in the today screen.

Go to Settings -> Today -> Items Tab and look for "G-Alarm". Activate the checkbox to see the G-Alarm plugin on your today screen.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vangrieg:
Looks like I rushed to conclusions. The sound volume issue is indeed fixed in 0.9.8.1, but the other problem I mentioned remains:

when the phone is in vibrate mode, I have no sound after snoozing. Only vibration. The first alarm sounds just fine.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PelloG:
same here...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Hi

Installed 0.9.8 and after resetting old alarms and adjusting preamp it worked ok for one day.

Installed 0.9.8.1 last night which worked after a quick test but this morning on wake up no sound just G-Alarm screen. Have just done another test alarm and the alarm went off first time but then no sound after snooze.

I don't use maze or puzzles so they are disabled.

The G-Alarm reload conflict with MN7 seems to have gone - hope you can think of a way round this before daylight savings kick in again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ryon:
possible bug?

Hi!

I have been using G-Alarm (0.9.6.3 I think) for about a month and i love it!

Yesterday I uppgraded to the latest realese V0.9.8.1 and for some reason g-alarm don't work as god with S2U2 any more...

The alarmtime is displayed correctly in TF3d Home screen, but S2u2 displays a compleatly diffrent alarmtime then what is set in g-alarm, and also dosn't countdown the time..as it use to do..

Anyone else got this issue?

Option to delete Today plugin

Didn't realize this about the skins, since I use the merlot diamond skin that works fine without the default being there. Guess I'll just have to remember to delete the default skin after each new release to save around 400KB...

What about an option to delete the Today plugin? For those of us using TF3D, Spb Mobile Shell or some other interface, this would save another 161KB...

speed

I might have missed it, but in the gpx file not all the speeds are correct. Driving my car over the Dutch highways, where 120 km/h is the limit, I sometimes see myself driving at 240 or 180. In the .csv file I even get more bizar results like: 876333062009518.

What is happening here?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] medfcara:
...the same for me.....but alarmtime works fine, at the correct hour.....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] del4:
Could be wrong, but looks to me like you've posted in the wrong thread??? ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rocheau:
At the moment being I am still with G- ALARM 0.9.6.1, indeed it is my alarm for the every day and its work perfectly. No issues with SU2 nor MD2 has been noted by me, and for that reason I will sugest you to go back to this version or the one that worked well for you, until the developer get another release without bugs. I used to review the comments that users posted after a new update in other to see if works well or not . And reading the last post, It seems to me that 0,98xx still has some bugs. But if it's worked well before, why do you suppose an upgrade may be necessary?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orlandojumpoff:
If ageye doesn't have people testing the updates then the project might have died a long time ago - after the simple features surfaced...

People need to help test this great application and updates. Sitting around and waiting doesn't help ageye at all. A good reason to update is because new features are added. With .9.6.1, you don't have features like the calculations screen (something i find to be a great addition for heavy sleepers). Besides, some of these bugs are only specific to certain devices... I'm currently running .9.7.3 (which was released less than a week ago) and will test 9.8.1 when the weekend comes along. Because i reported bugs earlier, it appears ageye took the time to fix them and with .9.7.3 i'm not having the major problems anymore. I also believe the minor issue was solved with .9.8.1 (at least for my device). See how that works? If you haven't tried .9.8.1, then how do you know if it has bugs or not for YOUR phone? What if ageye fixes bugs for everyone else, but in doing so it creates problems for your phone? You may not know until you try it right? Wouldn't you want to report that to make sure future versions with new features work right for you?

I'm not trying to be mean, but you're not helping anybody by telling them to revert back to a version that was released a long time ago and to sit around waiting for no bugs to be reported for future versions. If you want to sit back and not contribute then you should probably do so silently.

Report a bug, give thanks, or post something that will help development.. not hinder it.

v0.9.8.1 no sound only vibrate

Hi,

i just upgrade to the latest version - v0.9.8.1, but since then the alarm stop working anymore.

it can fire up the alarm but no any sound come out instead it just keep vibrating.

i am using Diamond.

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stanglifemike:
Hey Ageye, I havent posted in this thread in a while. Just got a Touch Pro a week ago and your app is sooooo much better than my i760. The mazes are awesome now since I can tilt my phone instead of pull out the stylus. Thanks for all of your hard work, I may need to donate again :D

Works flawless on Verizon Touch Pro!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] amstreo700:
No sound files

I just installed the latest version of G-Alarm and when I create a new alarm I can't add a sound file so therefore I can't create a new alarm. I have read other posts and haven't found a solution to this. I know where my sound files are ringtones and stock files. I am stuck. This looks like a wonderful product and sounds like if I can get this working will be awesome. Please help.

I am using a Verizon Palm Treo 700W. I have the latest updates on my phone.

What am I doing wrong?

HTC pro needs to be on for running the alarms?

Hello!

Does anybody knows how to fix an alarm in HTC pro and make it run even when the phone is power off? I mean not in standby mode, I'm talking about shut down Windows mobile. Because with any other phone this is possible and very easy but with my HTC pro if I shut down the phone the alarm never goes up until I turn it on again, that's a real disadvange even more for the battery life!

Any software available to fix this issue? any suggestions? what should I need to do? Thanks in advance guys!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] elf98:
After the last upgrade GAlarm crashes when an alarm goes of. The crash seems to be start in "GAlarm.frmAlarm..ctor()" The error seems to be "NullReferenceExeption".

Even when I downgrade to 9.5.0 GAlarm keeps crashing.

At the moment I can't use this nice program at all...

New version released: 0.9.8.2

I just fixed the small S2U2 bug.

Thank you all for your replies! I read every of your posts, I'm just too busy to reply to them now. Hopefully I find some time this evening to help you with your problems.

Keep the bug reports and ideas coming! It really helps me!

But always remember: post the error details

Thank you!

I still wish you would consider changing the snooze to creating quickalarms rather than leaving the application active and counting. Right now, if you happen to reset the phone while it is snoozing, the alarm is lost. With quickalarms, it would not be.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] medfcara:
...installed 9.8.2.... works fine... no more SUS2 "bug".... :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bib_x:
I thing it is good with snoozing. Now i wake up at 6 o´clock and don´t leave my bed. Beetween the snoozing-alarms, i leave my bed an can easily end the alarm only with tap on the screen.

With the quick alarms i have to start g-alarm and then i have to end the snoozing-time.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dr g:
Hmm. I see the issue here, it's really just a complete difference in usage. When it's being used as an alarm clock for wakeup, you don't need it doing anything else and can afford to have it display the screen. If it's being used as a general purpose alarm, it's not as desirable to have Galarm stay active.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] expo7:
I have a diamond too, but the v0.9.8.1 works perfect.

Great App

Sprint Mogul and version 0.9.8.2

I have GAlarm on my Sprint Mogul (PPC6800) with WM6.1 and all my songs are wma files.

After I removed previous version of GAlarm (version 0.9.7), the following error screen shows up in Today menu every time that I do a soft reset on the phone unless I reinstall GAlarm back:

Notification Error

"Cannot execute \Program Files\ageye\G-Alarm\GAlarmReload.exe"

Under My Device-->Program Files, the ageye folder is still there after the removal of the program. In the ageye folder, the GAlarm folder is present. The GAlarm folder has four items in it: gfx foler, alarms, last alarm, settings. The notification error appears even when I manually erased the leftover files of GAlarm in Program Files. Note that nothing from GAlarm shows up in the StartUp folder after erasing the program. Please develop a clean remove program for erasing GAlarm because sometimes it may become necessary to remove GAlarm for diagnostic purposes.

I installed the newst verion (0.9.8.2), and unlike the previous versions that did not display time correctly in the Today screen's plugin (for example, version 0.9.7 and 0.9.7.2 showed 8.4 AM for 8:04AM or showed 0:04 AM for 12:04 AM or showed 12:00 AM for 12:00 PM), this newst verion can display correct time in Today screen's plugin. However, part of "Sun" is chopped off even though plenty of room is available in the Today screen. By tapping on the alarm icon of GAlarm's Today plugin, I cannot tell whether the alarm was off the way that the red/green toggle button would say in the previous version. However, when I tapped a 2nd time on the bell icon in GAlarms Today screen plugin,the program crashed one time. Here is what it said:

Error

An unexpected error has occurred in GAlarm.exe.

Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.

An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it cannot be found.

Does 0.9.8.2 attempt to solve the no-sound-after-snoozing issue?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PelloG:
i got the same issue. No sound aufter snoozing with 0.9.8.1

I think incoming phone calls between first alarm and snoozing (phone is set so "silent") cause problems with galarm.

PS: Which is the most reliable G-Alarm Build?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vangrieg:
No, this happens without incoming calls as well. Sound seems not to work after snoozing when the phone is set to vibrate or silent.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] electron73:
You snooze - You lose ! :D

I think I narrowed it down to the fact that G-Alarm now correctly sets the system (and ring) sliders shortly before the alarm is supposed to go off. Music plays. all good. Now if you hit snooze, the sound settings revert back to "silent" or "vibrate" and after the snooze time is up, G-Alarm forgets to set the sliders to the forced value first. If your sound was *not* muted before, it works. If it was muted -> no sound.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vangrieg:
Great, now let's hope ageye narrows it down to the relevant piece of code. :)

Write your own questions/mazes

Sorry if this question was already asked (it probably was but i couldnt find it), but is it possible to write your own questions/problems and draw up your own maze?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
This will be a loooong reply but I promised you to answer (nearly) all of your posts...

@Talking alarm: already on my (internal) todo list

execution of a program: on my todo list as well - just don't know where to put it...

OGG is already supported...

I'm still working on those time display bugs. I'm not sure why exactly this happens because on my 2 test devices everything works great (that makes it sooo hard to debug for me)

But I'll give my best to fix this

No, this is my code ;-)

I'll fix the bug until v1.0

I have not forgotten it. It's just pretty complicated (on some devices we need the new mechanism on some the old one)

In fact, the new mechanism works on all devices. it may have a delay (max. 1 second) but this is the only negative thing about it. I really recommend you to use 0.9.8.2. v1.0 is coming soon but in the next few days I have no time for it, so it may need another week or two to finish it...

I found the problem, will be fixed in the next release... until then please don't mute your phone ;-)

If it just shows up the G-Alarm screen you probably haven't closed G-Alarm after setting the alarm...

with v1.0 there will be a complete new skin system. then it will be possible to remove the default skin as well (but all current skins won't work anymore :()

@today plugin: very good idea! I added it to my todo list...

what does it mean "I can't add a sound file"

when you click on the "+" symbol in the playlist there should be a file browser where you can choose the sound files...

Is there any error?

this is not possible. I always compare a Windows Mobile powered device with a computer. if it's off, it's off... no piece of software can wake it up (lack of windows mobile :-()

can you please post some of the first lines of the error details?

it may help if you delete your settings.xml lastalarm.xml and alarms.xml but please post the error details (and those files) before you delete them

I'll add an option to define wether you want to have the snoozed G-Alarm screen or a completely closed G-Alarm during snoozing...

there is already a clean uninstall routine implemented but on some devices it just don't work

I also changed it a little bit in the last releases so maybe this error doesn't exist anymore...

@bell icon: thank you for the details. This happens if g-alarm tries to access its xml files while another process (probably the today plugin) already accesses them...

I will fix that somehow

no, this is not possible and won't be possible in the near future...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ryon:
Tank you so much for the new version (v.0.9.8.2)!

G-Alarm now works excellent together with S2U2!

Wonderful!:D

This morning no-go: Alarm was set for 10am. Looked at the phone at 11:30 and the lcd backlight was on, today screen (not G-Alarm) showing the the whole thing frozen. Stylus reset was necessary :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stellarsapience:
Hi.

I've been trying versions of this program since 0.2 on my AT&T (HTC) Tilt (Kaiser), and have used it in WM6 and WM6.1. I love the interface, the features, everything about it... except it doesn't seem to serve it's main function on my device.

I can set test alarms, and it plays successfully, but 9 times out of 10, if i set a quick or standard alarm, with any settings, it does not play the alarm. I usually set it between 11:30p and 12:30a, to wake up at 8:00a. It starts counting down til the next upcoming alarm. When i woke up at 9:30 this morning however, I looked at it and it said something like "next upcoming alarm: 1:27:30", as if it lost an hour and a half of time in the middle of the night. it never went off.

I love windows mobile because it does everything, but the only thing my WM smartphone CANNOT do is operate as an alarm clock. i want so desperately for g-alarm to work, but it just isn't. I'm looking forward to 1.0 and any help you may have.

i also run PointUI Home 1.51a, a user-interface enhancement program. Do you think it could be interfering?
