I have the same issue! When I choose/activate a Quick Alarm, i have no option to choose a soundfile, it stil plays the sound i used with an other standard alarm setting(preview-mode)! Maybe it has to be, incase of a Quick Alarm:D

Activate a Quick Alarm, when I launch a preview it plays the sound I already replied above, but when the alarm should get to work with the adjusted time I only have an awake of the device (Todayscreen appears) but no alarmsound.

BTW its a great new option;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
thank you for the bug report!

I think you are doing something wrong... do you check the songs (not the folders) you want to have and then click "OK"?

please don't mess up things...

first of all: quick alarms are quick alarms because you can set them with a few clicks... that means: a quick alarm has ALWAYS the same settings as your last set alarm...

your second point (quick alarm doesn't play a sound): I can't reproduce this error... please try it again...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luckyuser:
Tried again works fine now,:DSorry!;)

I have translated the language file to norwegian (no-NB), however I am currently not able to test it on my device for proofing (my device and pc doesn't cooperate well recently :S). I'll attach it, and revise it later if/when I am able to test it out myself.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stutzedward:
I just installed GAlarm in my LG-KS20. Tested the alarm few times and it worked wonderfully, well done! So I removed my morning alarm and replaced with GAlarm. It did not wake me up this morning.... was almost late for work. :P

Anyhow, do I need to remove the "Time Out" under Today setting to make sure it works? It is currently set at 4hrs. On the other hand, I have S2U2, it was okay when I tested it. Pls help....

PS: It is a wonderful application, well done!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
have you checked the advanced option "Fix Windows alarm bug"

have you configured S2U2 like this:

http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=galarm/manual/limitations#S2U2
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stutzedward:
I did check the "Fix Windows Alarm Bug'. It works when I tested it by setting the alarm time 2 mins in advance, press the 'power' button to sleep it and make sure S2U2 is running. That's why I thought it will work.

Anyhow, I have done the following:

S2U2 options:

Lock when screen is blank > off

Lock when backlight turns off > off

Power off in > off

But blank screen only > off

Blank screen on talk > off

Please check those settings on both "On battery power" and "On external power"

Thanks a lot for the pointers.

On the other hand, I found this in the web when I search for "alarm not working in WM":

*****

These products fix the alarm problem by cleaning out your Notification Que. If your alarms are not working, the chances are real good that you have

a lot of duplicate entries in the NQ, and/or

an NQ that is filled with “crap.” An example of what I mean with the “crap” would be the problem I had with my Treo 700w: its NQ had about a hundred or so entries that resembled a Universally Unique Identifier, such as “550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000.” Microsoft registry entries (on Windows and on Windows Mobile) are full of these identifiers, but, generally, they do not belong in the NQ … if you see any of them in your Notification Que, you are probably safe in assuming that they are contributing to your problem.

*****

This is picked from : http://www.keenerliving.com/2007/07/03/fixing-alarm-problems-in-windows-mobile-devices/

I cleaned mine using SKT, I hope it works tomorrow but I'll have a standby alarm clock. Thanks again! :)

Quick Alarm Bug

* when you go to edit it, it resets the time to 12:00am, it's best you just delete the alarm and create a new one.

* It pics the song by default of your last alarm, would be nice to pck a quick alarm only song/mp3.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Excuse me if I sound annoyed, BUT:

I don't want you to read the whole 100 pages of this thread but tell me, is it so hard to read the last few posts? All your points have been asked and answered on this page...

1. Juelue already reported this bug, I already noticed it and I already said that it will be fixed

2. a quick alarm is called quick alarm because you can set it without spending too much time... the more controls/options I add to the screen the longer it needs to load.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mistertb:
I missed a few pages since last week, so my suggestion might be made before. Nevertheless:

How about a button on the today plugin which goes directly to "new quick alarm" then it is a really quick alarm ;-) Some people might not want it, so make it selectable in options? What do you guys think?

time issues

first off thanks love your work ok now 2 questions 1. when I set the alarm for 12 pm on the today screen it always shows 12 am other times show pm but I use 12 the most 2. do you know how to replace the default alarm clock with yours i'm running schaps 4.31 and when I tap the time it brings up the default alarm would love to set it up for yours thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jpawciosr:
forgot to say that the time shows up fine in the main window of the alarm

Today screen

Great app! Been trying it out and found a couple issues in regards to the today plug-in that I haven't seen addressed here. (I've read the whole thread, so I apologize in advance if I've missed it...)

As the attached screenshots show, the alarm time isn't displaying properly on the today screen with 7:00AM showing as 7:0AM.

Are there any options for having long alarm descriptions wrap around to the next line and/or using a smaller font to fit more text?

Also, why is the button so large in comparison to the other graphics and the text on the today screen? Almost seems like it's for a VGA device? ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
sorry, I'm german and so I don't use the am/pm format... can you tell me how to reproduce it? what is 12 am or pm in the 24h format?

what is DS?

well, I don't use AM/PM so I didn't noticed that... I will look into it! Thank you for the bug report...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thehyecircus:
http://dsmedia.ign.com/ds/image/art...do-ds-feature-a-day-20041109000636142-000.jpg

Current Time on top, Time the Alarm goes off on bottom, and how much time until the alarm goes off, or how much time has elapsed since the alarm went off, on the bottom. (The DS uses Military Time)

My phone is not here yet, you may have these features already.

I just think the Snooze button is rather large. What is the difference between Snooze and Stop? And what is the >| button for? And what does "Wecker" mean below the time?

I think you can save some space on the Snooze button and include a "Current Time/Alarm Time/Time Remaining" feature. I love the maze idea by the way, this looks like an awesome program.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabor2008:
Whether and it can an aaplet during set time to start other program?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Everything almost works great now on Touch Cruise - fade in, sound off restored when alarm finished - all good so far.

Only problem I have had is that I have my device set to turn off if unused after 3 mins on battery power. I tested snooze for 10 mins a few times and found the timer stops when the device turns off so no alarm. On one occassion I woke the device up and stopped the alarm early and everything froze on the snooze page - soft reset. When I select show over all windows in options it is still going to sleep and so the timer stops etc...

Don't use Throttlelock or playlists so can't comment.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dvbit2:
idea

for those phones with light sensor (to light up keyboard when extracted) it would be nice to have a "snooze when the light is turned on" feature
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stando76:
I am at 100 for volume and I have the force volume checked. The value for max volume is 100 as well.

Let me know if you need more info.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Can you explain, what part of G-Alarm is exactly laggy?

I understand - I'll have a look at it - that's pretty important...

Ok, my conclusion is that G-Alarm gets a wrong value when it tries to read the current volume. Please tell me what the default value for "Max. volume" is, when you click on "New alarm -> Options". If it's different from your current system sound value then I have to use another method to read out the volume...

good idea.

I use S2U2 and everything works fine for me - which version of s2u2 do you use?

For me, G-Alarm always wins the fight against s2u2 and is the top window...

strange problem.

Is it usable for you now with S2u2/throttlelock or not? I don't understand clearly if you ever had the chance with one tool to unlock the screen and then stop the alarm or not.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stanglifemike:
Thank you for the update and for always posting cab files so I can add to my phone immediately, even if I'm away from my computer.:D

One request, can we get a 12hour clock instead of 24?? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jcespi2005:
ey, very thanks for your app ;) it's really nice...

Now my findings...

The alarm only works for me if i try a near time for the alarm. For instance, 22:00 local time and my alarm to 22:30 with the PDA off, this works OK. But if 23:00 and my alarm to 9:00 this don't work, the PDA don't wake up until i switch on the PDA. If i switch on the PDA at 9:20 the alarm start inmediatly at this timer... strange.

In fact, the only soft i found to work fine for me is SBP Time 2, and this soft only uses one notification in the notification database. I saw your app uses lot of notifications (6) and perhaps the fail is related to this.

I'd like to help you if i can. I can send it to you the notificacion SBP Time uses if you wnat to check.

Cheers and thanks again for this app ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kristoff_sz:
This app is fantastic. I need to fix that goddamn credit card. Need to send some donations. I'm waiting for more mazes! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Can you please tell me which clock is not in the local format of your device? (start screen clock, alarm clock, start time on the settings page when you add a new clock)

strange problem! I expierenced this on my other device (prophet), too. But I fixed it with version 0.2.1

have you tried this version? if so: could you please send me the settings of sbp time 2 notifications. I don't think that this is a problem of the notification entry - but it may be ;-)

afaik g-alarm works on Kaiser devices (some users told me) - so it may not work due to your rom? maybe hard resetting helps?

which other alarms have you tried that don't work?

Thank you ;-) more mazes will come as soon I could fix the biggest bugs (which I nearly did)... I'm on vacation from saturday for about 1 week so it may last at least 1,5 weeks...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] peacock93:
ageye,

I really like your GAlarm program. I'm running it on a Sprint 6700 with WM6.1. I'm having a problem that when the alarm goes off I can hear it but it doesn't wakeup my 6700 screen. I have to push the power button on my 6700 to be able to hit snooze or to turn off the alarm.

Any ideas??

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jcespi2005:
Thanks for your attention....

I'll post here the SPB Time 2 notification with one alarm (i ussually wake up at 8:00 AM) so you can check and compare with yours.

About the version i installed 0.2.1 yeterday in the night, so i have last version. About the ROM, is a spanish ROM WM6.1 official HTC based (you can see in my signature). And installed your app after hard reset with notifications database clear.

Cheers

EDIT: Here you have the notifications (2 for my diary alarm at 8:30 AM). If you need more info, say me...

Tried to send donation, but not sure if it went through or not, I can not read the paypal link.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shpy:
Thank you so much.

"use alternative playback mode" work well on my ATOM now!

But, the volume is just about 65-70% ! I alway set System volume to 100%. With 1 song, WM play full 100% or ring of phone play 100% volume level too, but G-alarm just 65-70% volume level!!

Check/ Unchek force volume, number in "volume" : 100, uncheck Fade in.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] S.V.I:
I thought I'd suggest the finger friendliness work around in the options menu; as well as possible skins support.

The buttons are merely overlayed on the clock, which is why the hands are not visible.

As a today plugin, retro has a way to reach the sys time settings, perhaps can be redirected to an option page SysTime/GAlarmOptions...

I think it helps to see what time it is before you start up the maze. maybe have the music playing, but taping the screen would take you to the maze and kill alarm switch.

Just some ideas to see if you like
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hanackin:
Hi!

Again thanks a lot for this great alarm :D

Just a little remark, are you aware that the clock of g-alarm is not synchronised with the one from the mobile.... ?

By that I mean that there is difference of one miute between them...

there are some users on an other forum having this problem
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Time before maze: I can just add the time on the top of the maze...

other points: good ideas - I'll see what I will do when I've done the bugfixes... Thanks for the ideas!

I read out the mobile time. it might be different because the mobile time is not shown exactly on the start screen (windows doesn't refresh that every second)

where are the other forums?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] janp:
Edition loops of sound into Options

Very cool application.

2ageye: Please, include in “to DO list”:

* Edition loops of sound in Options!

It means - selected sound will be repeated immediately how many times (1x, 2x, 3x...).

It is necessary for relatively short sounds.

(it is not snooze function of course.)

Thank you in advance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] maxcavalera:
Hi,

great app, I really liked the idea of the maze :]

But it doesn't actually work on Polaris (Touch Cruise). The alarm just won't go off - it is properly set, I see the countdown and everything, but nothing happens - no errors whatsoever :\ When testing the alarm using the Test button, however, it works properly...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] peacock93:
ageye,

I'm having a problem that when the alarm goes off I can hear it but it doesn't wakeup my 6700 screen. I have to push the power button on my 6700 to be able to hit snooze or to turn off the alarm.

Any ideas??

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I have added it, but you can do that already yourself by simply adding the song more than once to the playlist

have you already tried the alternative playback mode?

I'm working on a solution. Please report if you still have the problem in the next version which I'll release this evening!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giovag7:
Hi all,

what about the possibility to snooze the alarm only by gently moving the phone? I'm destroyng my Diamond turning it face up, face down, face up, down... every morning with power cable connected...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JueLue:
Hello AGEye!

I like your prog very much an I use it every morning!

One question I have:

What ist the option "Close alarm after x min" intended to be used for?

I think it is to be used in the case the ppc fires an alarm and no one is there to stop the alarm (ppc is unattended). So this option can prevent the ppc from loosing his batery power.

Now the way it behaves is that the program closes after x min. no matter whether the user presses snooze button or any other button in the meantime.

On my opinion, pressing snooze button should cancel the "Close after x min" function or at least reset the timer.

So in one sentence:

I'd like to have an option to make the alarm stop after X min when there is no user reaction.

Thanks

JueLue
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mistertb:
We both asked that before, Ageye did change the amount of minutes you can select to I don;t know how long. Now I've set "close alarm after 120 min." so if my phone is unatended it will close after 2 hours, but when I snooze it wil play (within 2 hours).

I also prefer the option of resetting the stop alarm for x minutes after snoozing. But somehow I get the feeling ageye can or will not implement this, as we asked it before.

However, G-Alarm is a perfect application and i really like it!! good job Ageye.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
now i understand what you mean!

good idea
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mistertb:
Lol, sorry for my Denglish (dutch & english)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thehyecircus:
Ageye did you see my response?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Please wait until you receive your phone and then try G-Alarm.

Snooze: snoozes an alarm for a user defined time.

Stop: closes the alarm

>|: Plays the next song...

@Rest of your post:

as I said, try G-Alarm and you'll see that you're having a complete different idea of how G-Alarm works...

It seems like the DS alarm can only set one alarm and has a very simple GUI, G-Alarm has a lot more functions...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eazy2001x:
Suggestion.. Random Snooze time..

I am getting use to G-alarm and find myself going right for the stop alarm button. It would be nice to have a random snooze option. This option will have a random timer for 4 or more preset times like 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 6 minutes so when you press the snooze button the alarm would come right back on at any of the random times. This will help me get my lazy but up and may cause me to toss my phone across the room to make it turn off. But by then I would up and pissed off….

What do you think? I only suggest this because this application seems to have to much potential but I am shutting it off and going back to sleep as I did with my conventional alarm..

Thanks…
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thehyecircus:
Ageye, I am only saying on the alarm screen that you should incorporate more time displaying features. It's just a suggestion. There are screens for individual alarms, with the snooze and stop and next button, why not add it there?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
you already posted this idea... I'll probably add this feature

sorry, but who needs more time displaying features when an alarm goes off?!?

You've got the current time in 12hours or 24hours format and that's ok. You see the remaining time until the next alarm on the main start screen. Who needs more? There is no more information you can show...

I think you haven't still tested G-Alarm on your device - so I don't think you know all of the features...

Observations

Some observations based on my recent installation/use of this software:

-I have the Force Volume (100) option selected for my alarms since I'm a heavy sleeper. Works fine, except that later in the morning, my email/text notifications blared out at full volume as well since the volume was still at 100%. Any chance of having G-Alarm remember the volume setting before it forces the volume to the selected level so that it can be restored? This could be done once the alarm is dismissed/closed.

-In the main display of v0.9.2, only the highlighted/selected alarm shows the days of the week it is scheduled to run. If this is meant as an overview of all alarms, wouldn't it be better to display this info for all of the alarms?

-Only tapping on an alarm highlights/selects it (see above). Using the d-pad doesn't work properly. If I tap on the second one (see attached image), I can use the d-pad to move up to the first alarm, but once there I cannot move back down. Seems like the days display is keeping it from moving properly?

-Would like to see an option for the font used so that we can see the full info when an alarm description is longer than a couple words (all the room that's currently allowed).

-Some space could be freed up by removing the seconds from the alarm time. Not sure anyone sets an alarm for anything other than whole minutes?! :p

-With the default skin, tapping on various portions of the circular GA logo activate the nearby button control, so that the six buttons appear to be rectangular in actual use. I would expect that the GA logo would bring you to an about screen or something similar and that the buttons would work as displayed (seems to be an issue with mapping regions to the buttons?).

-Current alarms have a green/red dot next to them indicating their status. Could we tap on this button to change from active to inactive and vice versa (similar to how the Today plug-in works) as an alternative to the tap and hold 'activate/deactivate alarm' option?

-I'd like to see fewer buttons on the bottom. The X button duplicates the ok button, which closes the app, and the + and - buttons seem more natural as tap/hold options on each alarm. Currently, you need to tap to select an alarm, then hit the + or - key. Tap/hold would be simpler and more intuitive (IMHO) and would free up valuable real estate on the screen to display more alarms and/or details of each alarm.

-I'd expect that double-tapping an alarm would bring up the edit screen for that alarm, but it does not.
