I have to say that the program seems to be working perfectly for me on my htc Fuze and showing no issues. has woken me up perfectly the past few days.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
New version released: 0.9.7.3

sorry, no new features. I just want to help the users who have problems with the playback. I hope that this works now for you!

Please report if the playback works now!

My plans are to update the today plugin and fix some other bugs (some user tell me that the light sensor doesn't work on samsung omnia)

Afterwards I'm going to create v1.0 which will have some huuuge changes)

No my system sound was working ok outside of Galarm. The sound worked when I tested the alarm and snoozed. One occassion while testing I got a big hang do nothing spinning wheel and had to soft reset. Only saw that once.

Here is another weird one for your collection - when I try to configure GPS receiver using MN7 I get notification error "Unable to execute file GalarmReload.exe" I have to press ok many many times for it to go away - then it will come back again soon after. GAlarm is not running but set for the morning alarm. I went back to 0.9.4 because I thought it was the new version but I still get the message.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I didn't mean the system sound outside of G-Alarm but following situation: when G-Alarm plays the sound (e.g. in test mode) and you change the ringer volume (not the system volume) the sound volume of G-Alarm changes like in the video posted above: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBZAkJwDHT0

it would be great if you could test 0.9.7.3 and tell me if it works now

@MN7 problem: G-AlarmReload is launched if the system time is changed. I think MN7 may try to read the GPS time and changes the system time. I may delete this feature but then it may happen that there is a bug with the daylight saving times again...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
I cannot honestly say as I did not try that.

(GAlarm is nice and loud on the Blackstone compared to Polaris).

Will use this for next few days and see what happens.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aceracer24:
I don't see either galarm.exe or galarmreload.exe process running. In notifications I see:

\Program Files\ageye\G-alarm\galarmreload.exe 4 times

\Program Files\ageye\G-alarm\galarm.exe 2 times

I have 2 seperate alarms set using G-Alarm if that helps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
2 alarms mean 2 galarm.exe and 2 galarmreload.exe (for the wakeup signal)

the other 2 reloads:

1. -> midnight

2. -> launched whenever the time is changed...

I probably have to delete the second one (custardo described problems with MN7 and maybe your problems have the same cause)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aceracer24:
I was just checking again with a movie and it was popping up the busy icon again..it didn't seem to be consistent but seemed close to every 2-5 min maybe. There is significant stutter from the movie just prior to the busy icon showing so I can tell when it's about to pop up.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
0.9.7.3 - I've just tried changing system volume while alarm running and GAlarm volume is affected like in the video ie. volume not forced although enabled - not sure if that is what you meant or not but hope it helps. I tried with mp3 files.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orlandojumpoff:
the not playing bug is so frustrating... on .9.7.2 it sometimes plays sometimes doesnt... oh and ageye, i've always had my one song on device storage cause i know how putting things on storage cards can cause problems at times..

i still have .9.7.2 on my phone and it worked perfectly today, but i guess i'll try .9.7.3 and report back if i noticed anything

edit: with .9.7.3 no problems after 3 or 4 tests and i soft reset a couple times to make sure.

ageye, did you change something with the volume when the song first starts? i've noticed that the first second is normal and then all of a sudden it gets boosted up and it's noticeable... didn't recall it being like this before and i have the same settings as before.. force volume, no fade in. I could have sworn that before.. it started loudly and stayed the same loudness with those settings.. let me know if i'm wrong - i might just be paranoid cause of the previous problems... it's not that big of a deal anyway since i won't even notice or care when i wake up

thanks and keep up the good work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sci05:
haven't tried .9.7.3, but in .9.7.2 there was an issue where on the today plug-in wouldn't show the entire time of an upcoming alarm. I set my work alarm for 6:00, but on the today screen it shows 6:0. it still work, just an asthetics thing.

Also, along the lines of asthetics, i noticed that the font for the today item is different than the default font, anyway to just have it the same as the normal windows font? looks out of place.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I have a new idea to see if it's really the time-change-notification. Can you delete the notification of GAlarmReload.exe which is started when the time is changed?

It will be there if you start G-Alarm again but if you delete it and try to watch a movie again we could see if this is the bad guy. Would be great if you could test that...

you say "system volume". Is G-Alarm also affected when you change the ring volume? (the other volume slider next to the system volume slider?)

mhm... the volume starts normal and then gets loud? louder than you would except?

can you influence G-Alarms volume by changing the ring volume like in the video above?

the today plugin will be completely rewritten. please tell me if you still have these bugs when v1.0 is released...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] electron73:
Hi TV,

you have the Fuze too? Original AT&T rom? Could you please try and check if yours behaves the same way mine does? Please see my video.

In simple words: Does turning down the RINGER volume to zero also mute your SYSTEM sounds ?

To Ageye:

Here's my new video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKIqwyk9g9I

You can see exactly what happens:

1) Both volume sliders are set to some arbitrary (non zero) setting.

2) I bring up the volume control and tick OFF to shut the phone and SMS alerts off for the night.

3) G-Alarm goes off (simulated) and takes the volume control out of OFF mode plus correctly sets the system volume to what it's programmes to in the alarm.

4) G-Alarm for some reason does NOT restore the state of the ring slider, but sets it at zero, thus all phones with the volume bug will get a silent alarm in the morning :)

I hope there's a fix for this. My Idea would be: Just set the ringer slider to the last known position found in the registry

under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\ShellOverrides\SavedRingerVolume

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] emay:
In one of the recent new versions the random file selection was changed, so that played songs don't get played again. If you have only one song I can imagine that this feature disables playing this song for a second time.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxx_mosh:
hey i have a qeastion like i think this alarm looks really good and a need one cus im alwasy late to class and stuff but dose anyone know if its anygood on the kaiser im also running the latest romeos 4.6 if anything i might just install and test it out but if anyone knows something that could will be appreciated

thankss
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] w04g005:
@ageye

Hey thanks for this great piece of software. It's the best alarm app i've ever used! Did you ever think about fm-support. Than it would be an perfect app for me.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deuzeff:
Hi ageye,

thanks for the new version 0.2.2, it's really getting more and more stable :)

I just played around a little:

- the backlight problems seem all solved

- the snooze is working perfectly for me (backlight is switch off)

- the famous ThrottleLock interference is almost away: with the current ThrottleLock release (0.3c), the first time the alarm comes up, ThrottleLock is on top, I unlock it >> send the alarm back to sleep with the snooze function >> the next time the alarm pops up, ThrottleLock does not appear, neither over neither under it. Now if I click on "Stop alarm" instead of snoozing, the next time I switch off the screen, ThrottleLock will be here as normal (I was afraid that somehow is was down after using the G-Alarmn, but not :)). The behaviour is really excellent right now :).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JueLue:
Had the same problem, solved it by deleting entries in the notification que, left over by older versions of the alarm program. I used sk-tools demo version to delete the entries.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] [germany]merlot:
I'm still enthused and now the wake up problem is solved. Very very good. All you have to do is resize the buttons in the settings. It's very defficulty without a stylus but with a big thumb.:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JueLue:
I've got an O2 Orbit II, which means its just the same as an Touch Cruise and yes, its working perfect now:)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deuzeff:
It seems that I can't get a snooze of 10 minutes to work properly. 5 works.

Can somebody try in the real alarm clock condition (not the test):

- setting a 10-minute snooze

- hitting the Snooze button when the alarm pops up (thus switching off the backlight) and not touch the phone (i.e. switch on the screen)

- waiting 10 minutes until, normally the alarm comes back and rings again

In my case the timer runs in the background, that's for sure, but after 10 minutes (600s), it does not come back, it makes a new countdown, silently in the background :-/
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
I've been through the registry and deleted every bit of data to do with alarm programmes, soft reset, installed G-alarm v0.2.2 and on closing still get

GAlarm.exe

NullReferenceException

GAlarm.Reload.ClearHandles()

GAlarm.ReloadAlarms()

Funny how your device is ok and mine not even though they are same.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
at last, an alarm i can use instead of the original one.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] w04g005:
Hey guys, since the last update i have a strange problem! i've set my alarm to 6 am. at 6 am the alarm started....so far so good. i clicked on snooze. 5 minutes later it rang again also this is how it should work. but when i'm closing the alarm only the S2U2 screen appears. Than i CANNOT SEND MY DEVICE TO SLEEP MODE!! clicking one time on the power button...nothing happens. clicking the next time on the power button... S2U2 appears!!

Thank you for helping!

My Device is a HTC Polaris (Orbit II) but i think it has nothing to do with the hardware. i think it's an incompatibility with S2U2!!

Update: I think it has to do with the "Save power during snooze time"- function !! i deactivated it and the Problem i described above didn't occur.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Balrog82:
good looking tool. I am in search of a good alarm software anyway, since I had to lend my old mobile phone to a friend who broke his iphone *lol* so I currently have nothing that wakes me up :D

gonna test this on the kaiser today.

Just a short hello from italy,

I've read your posts and probably can release a bugfixed version on monday and new features some days later! there is nothing you can do about the nullreference exception! please wait for the bugfix after my vacation!

Stay tuned and please don't make double posts! Read this thread before posting and keep it clean,

Thank you

ageye
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Balrog82:
I just tested your app briefly a few minutes ago. works very fine, without errors on my kaiser.

thx again. have been looking for such a good tool. well done m8.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orlandojumpoff:
yeah imagine a song playing on a cd player.. and then after a second or two u turn the volume up 4 or 5 notches...

the level it ends up playing at after the first second is

nice

and loud (it's NOT louder than i'd want, seems to be the same loudness as other versions...)

It's just strange that the first second is lower since i don't have fadein checked... and besides it doesn't act like a fade in, it just snaps to the louder volume. If it bothered me, i'd probably just select fadein so i wouldn't notice it; but like i said... i'm asleep and don't really care during that first second haha

about influencing galarms volume: well i had my phone on mute (system and ringer) when i tested it a second ago and it played just fine at the volume it plays at every time, so i don't think mines being influenced by ringer status. My phone was also left silent after the alarm, so again no influence...

and still no freezeups since the other day.

i have one question: is it normal for the today plugin to show the time as 12:45am when the alarm is really set for 12:45pm - afternoon? and it shows 0:45am for 45 after midnight instead of 12:45am... the am/pm glitch is only for the 12 oclock hours. I've noticed this with all versions, but didn't really care too much cause on s2u2 and touchflo3d home screen it correctly shows 12:45pm... plus i don't usually set alarms for 12pm/am. Just something i wanted to mention in case it's unknown...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aceracer24:
Yep, I can try this. Ok I disabled teh 4 galarmreloads.exe from the notification. I didn't know which one was specific to time change. The problem went away. Didn't have time yet for a really good test so I will test while at work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] swisslue:
A little problem...

Hi there,

first i wanna thank you for the nice program. Love the functionality, but have a "little" problem with it:

I have a HTC Touch Diamond, newest ROM from HTC, language is german.

Here my problem: Its now 1PM and I create a alarm for 2PM. It should read: next alarm in 1 hour, but it reads: next alarm in 2 hours. When its 2PM, the alarm will go off, but on the display, the time is 1PM... sleep works perfectly but when I want to turn the alarm off, it just starts again.... The only way I found to shut the alarm really off was to deinstall the whole programm... Not even turning off and then turning on again the diamond worked...

I searched through this thread here, but haven't found anything resembling my problem... I'm sorry if I've overseen something.

Hope theres a simple solution to my problem...

BTW: The time on my Diamond is right, as is the timezone...

greetings from switzerland, swisslue

EDIT because of typos

Quick Alarm Bug

This may have already been mentioned - but when I set a quick alarm (for example 30 min), but then don't exit the program, the counter stops when my screen turns off. If I exit the program I think it works, but if I stay in the program and just let my phone go to "sleep" the counter quits working, and my alarm never goes off. If this is a known issue or if there is a fix for this, please let me know.

I love G-Alarm! Thanks for the great program!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ejoya:
screen support for i780? the screen resolution is 320 x 320. the program works fine but it is stretched and the fonts are hard to read.. thanks

Need hel

Hi,

When i set the alarm in GAlarm, the date is same day, next week. Why?

(Excuse me for my bad english. I´m from Sweden :))
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NotLutzik:
Set quick alarm it be only for one time
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Yes G-Alarm is affected by adjusting system and ringer volume.

No G-Alarm for me this morning due GPS conflict - nada nada :-(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aceracer24:
After playing a bit at work, it does seem that disabling those notifications does in fact fix the problem. I had no issues watching a video for a good 10 min. I then enabled those notifications and had a busy state within 5 min or less.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orlandojumpoff:
what do the notifications do?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aceracer24:
Hope that answers your question orlando.

The last Version wich was running stable on my Polaris (O2 Xda orbit2) was 0.8.4.

I tested all new updates, now i use 0.9.7.3. But i get no Alarm. Today night at midnight a windows popped up - Errormessage. Then i did a softreset. Today morning my alarm was set to 06:50. I woke up at 7 o´clock and looked on my polaris ---> i saw my s2u2 screen and the time was 06:50. So i had to do another softreset. After booting, the alarm startet...

Hope you understand my description. Otherwise i can tell it to you in german, too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JueLue:
I've got the same device (O2 Orbit 2 German, S2U2) as you have and no problem at all with all the versions you mentioned.

Did you ever try to completely uninstall Galarm and then reinstall the prog?

Do you have a special rom?

Do you have any special software?

JueLue
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bib_x:
The first versions i had to uninstall with the one file in the g-alarm directory and then uninstall the software. In the new versions i only install the new version and the old version will be removed automatically.

Hm, i don´t think, that i have any special software. I didn´t install any new software since a long time.

I use the german udK Diamond ROM - WM 6.1. But the older versions of g-alarm worked well. Only the new versions don´t run.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Centurio:
hi,

is it possible to integrate in next version an opportunity to set the display light completely off wenn g-alarm rings?

at the moment the lights goes on - appr. 30sec before the alarm rings and uses afterwards the system-light settings (eg. light goes out after 10sec...)

i use the auto-snooze function - because of that there is no need of lights...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jhoffa:
I just installed this, but I'm having problems with the alarm on a US stock rom xperia X1a. When I test the alarm (with the play button) it works perfectly. If I set an alarm, it pulls up the maze with no sound. It's only after I complete the maze then the track will start to play.

Anyone else experience this problem? The maze feature was the main reason why I wanted this alarm. I'm a heavy sleeper and this would be the perfect alarm for me if I could find a fix for this issue.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
thank you so much for your videos and for the time you spent to help me solving this issue...

Still I couldn't find the reason why the playback is influenced by the ringer volume on some devices but I followed your idea and set the ringer volume to a specific value. (of course it is restored afterwards)

i only have one song in my playlist and use "random playback". everything works...

the volume issue should be resolved with 0.9.8

@today plugin issue: I still haven't figured out why this happens :-(

do you use the latest version? does other software display the correct time? strange bug!

you have to close G-Alarm every time. if you don't do that the alarm won't go off.

if someone creates a skin for square resolutions that will be cool

although the dutch cannot play soccer I like them now ;-) thank you for posting the link...

please try 0.9.8 -> no more GPS conflict (hopefully), volume should work as well...

I disabled the notification in version 0.9.8... now we might get a problem with the daylight savings but until then I have some time left ;-)

I think you install G-Alarm on your storage card! Please try 0.9.8 (it should work now on the storage card as well) - if not: try installing it on your device

simply set "turn off backlight after x seconds" to 1 second or something like that

please try v0.9.8 and tell me if I could solve your problem...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
New version released: 0.9.8

I'm currently working hard on fixing all those bugs you described (please read the post above this one - I answered to your replies)

Please read the Changelog to see what I've done...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] swisslue:
yes, i use 0.9.7.3. and all other software displays the correct time...

EDIT: Same problem in 0.9.8. but i noticed something: after installing, the alarm worked correct. but after a soft reset of the device, the same problem was here again...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bib_x:
Yes ageye, i installed g-alarm on my storage card (8gb sdhc). Now i test the new version, installed on my storage card.

Talking alarm?

ageye,

Love your G-Alarm.

Is there any chance that you could add the following feature to G-Alarm:

- When alarm activated, have G-Alarm execute a program.

- Talking alarm

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orlandojumpoff:
thanks for the update, will try when i get home and report any differences

you must have been very busy with all these bugs that have just popped out... thanks for the effort to fix it we are very greatful.
