I can't read the error ;-) can you enlarge it or send it to the mail adress which is on my page: www.ageye.de.

Is it during the alarm or when you try to add some mp3s to the playlist?

does it work with mp3s which are not on your storage card?

thanks for submitting the bugs!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] m00moo:
Error also.

System.Int32.Parse(String s, NumberStyles style, IFormatPropvider provider )

System.Convert.To.Int32 (String Value)

Galarm.Reload.ReloadAlarms()

Error

Hi

HTC Touch Cruise - "Unexpected error....... An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it can be found."

I've tried them all and they have all let me down. Most of them cause a problem with muting sound on the phone. I've recently pulled an old t610 sony ericsson out of the drawer which works perfectly - alarm every 10 mins for an hour 100% reliability.

Hope you succeed. Love the look of that snooze button:)

Error occurs when pressing playlist "add" button. I get details of the error but it is about 20 lines long.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] drmidnight:
Great work man!:D

I have been looking around for something like this. I have trouble staying awake after my alarm goes off in the morning. The maze idea is brilliant.

My main phone is qvga though and this works its just impossible to complete the maze because of the resolution. It should be as simple as downsizing the maze.

Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] S.V.I:
QVGA does not work.. :( it is unfortunate.

I love the fact that it plays WMA files, as the most obnoxiously loud file on my phone is a track i made to be WMA. I originaly designed it as a ringtone, but have not been able to use it for an alarm though. now I can. maybe you should not fix the maze. it makes turning the alarm off impossible. :D

do you plan to have random mazes every morning?

will it have an arangable playlist or do I have to rename files?

will there be an included user guide for all of the features (which you have not included yet)?

will this sound off when the volume is disabled?

will it vibrate?

I guess the most important thing is that this program will not sleep when the phone falls asleep. otherwise I cant wake up for work. and usualy when that happens, i am late almost an hour :(

thank you so much for working on this project. I have been using a very old program called PocketAlarmMp3 which has stopped development over a year ago.

the one thing I love about that progam is it's ability to select repeat intervals for the MP3 you Re trying to play

(duration/ repeat rate 60s-Whole / every 3min-inf)

it is a very complicated setup in the old program, but has a lot of options and has been very reliable.

I hope to switch to yours soon.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fredcatsmommy:
would love to test a qvga version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wilderer:
nice program! i missed a tool like that. could you please make the clock setting more fingerfriendly. so when tapping on:

--------

|//////| - up - set hour, minute, second upward

|//////|

--------

|//////|

|//////| - down - set hour, minute, second downward

--------

i also get the FormatException error. Also the Maze cannot finish on QVGA.

Thanks!!

Hi Great work there, maybe you could team up/ get help with this other programmer who also made a G alarm software for HTC diamond

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=412669
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
To keep you up to date:

- my alarm clock woke me up this morning ;-) so it works... great!

- I have to go to work now - I think I'll release next version with QVGA support and at least most of the bugfixes tonight (GMT +1)

Answers to your questions:

- Clock setting more finger friendly: Got it! Will include it!

- Random mazes: of course! or at least mazes with ascending difficulty. if you snooze you get a more difficult one... Propably there will be also other methods - not only mazes...

- playlist is already arangable (see the "up"/"down" buttons - make use that the "Random" checkbox is not checked!)

- User guide follows

- If the system volume is off, G-Alarms sound is off... I'll add an option if it should ring although system volume is off

- Vibration option will follow...

- Klaxon (the other alarm clock): Well, Klaxon is Klaxon and G-Alarm is G-Alarm... G-Alarm works also on other devices than the diamond and will have options to use tilt sensor or not... Klaxon was made exclusive for the Diamond

Thank you for testing it! You help me a lot!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bugzy:
I was having an issue with SPB Time after I installed Manilla ... *shrugs* thought I'd ask to see if anyone was using Manilla and G-Alarm since I'd like to use it if its happy.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
yes, I use it on my Diamond with Manila and everythong works great.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deuzeff:
Dear ageye,

I must say, great great great job for the 0.3 :p

This is really damn good!!!!!!!

You were right for the "better power saving", when unclick, the screen will go to lowest mode, which is a good alternative to "not coming back to life" :D. It works great !

Many thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chiekh:
Suggestion

Please can you implement an option to choose for using labyrinth before stoping the alarm only and not for snooze. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Polaris

v0.3 has gone back to not waking back up after a 600 min snooze. Usually stops with 120 secs remaining. It will work ok if I uncheck the power saving option but this is a bit frustrating because if I wanted to use the device for something else G-Alarm takes over and dims the screen for all programmes. Ok for a morning wake up though. I know this is a problem area. Thought I had v0.2.3 working perfectly but not so sure now my head is a bit dizzy with it all!

Love the new buttons as well and general interface much better. Would like to change the arrow buttons for setting the time. If I use my thumb can't see the numbers.

Vibration works good.

Thanks for the quick quick work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Harboe:
Very impressive, ageye. Almost perfect on my "good" old Touch. Keep up the great work. :eek:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jcostanza4:
Thanks for this great app, I have greatly needed a new alarm program with easy to read buttons and a simple interface. I do have some ideas/suggestions/bugs while this is in developement. I hope these will help and not offend. I think you are doing a wonderful job.

A few bugs I noticed with v0.3:

Does not show over Throttle Lock

I image simular results as other users with S2U2, but it does still work behind Throttle Lock and over all other applications like Touch Flo 2D. Just have to unlock and then snooze or dismiss. The snooze time respond if Throttle Lock is activated after snoozing.

Throttle Lock freezes snooze time

If Throttle Lock launches while G-Alarm is snoozing the snooze time will freeze and not count down untill unlocked.

Snooze and Device Standby creates an alarm with no screen

I normaly hit snooze and put my device into standby if I do this the snoozed alarm will go off but the screen does not wake. I have to power on to input a response and causes a further problem when Throttle Lock stops the snooze time.(Putting the device into standby is a habit because the wife does not like the light emited from my device while snoozing)

Feature Requests/Ideas:

Skinnable Snooze and Stop alarm Buttons

Multiple Snooze options

The default alarm has me addicted to choosing some predefined times. I would recomend one large snooze button that is the users default, and 2 or 3 small icons that are user defined times. Use Example: For some reason mondays I like to sleep in 15-30 minutes, and other days vary.

One Time Alarm

Ability to add an alarm that deletes itself after dismissing. Great for that one time amonth you have to get up early and forgot to remove the 4am alarm for the next week.

These are just a couple ideas I have and only wish to share my thoughts and experiences. If I can help in other ways let me know. Again Great application, and keep up the developement.

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stanglifemike:
Looks great, thanks for the update!! Downloading now, I'll let you know how it works on my device. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aqtrans:
Yeah already tried that option, doesn't work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Big problem.

I stopped the alarm in the middle of a snooze countdown. G-Alarm quit ok but did not reset the backlight brightness. I cannot reset the backlight manually either it keeps going to the lowest setting as if G-Alarm has taken over the backlight. Will try and uninstall and go back to v0.1.1 because at the moment I have a permanent dark screen. Problem occurred with better powersaving unchecked and show alarm over all windows checked. Have tried changing all options but the light won't come back.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Well uninstalled v0.3 and installed v0.1.1 but I have still have no light and cannot get it back. The backlight setting just keeps going to the lowest setting whenever I touch the screen or the light settings. Not sure what to do about this.

Please help!! Need my light back.

Thanks

Edit; Soft reset makes no difference.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
It's ok I got the backlight back by manually setting the settings/backlight/battery option (G-Alarm set it to go off after 10s).

Got in a bit of a panic there. Sorry for the alarm:o Back on v0.1.1 though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Thanks for your replies! This is just a great community!

I will look through your ideas and problems and post some news about today...

please be patient.

if you find anything else, please let me know.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Will be implemented in the next version

I haven't changed the power mechanism between v0.3 and v0.2.3.

For now I don't have a better solution but to dim the screen for all programms during snoozing.

I don't think that this is a big problem because most people don't start other programms during snooze time but sleep until the alarm comes back ;-)

Thanks for your detailed descriptions/bugreports/ideas...

bugs:

1. for now this is the most stable mechanism which works with the most screenlock tools like s2u2 or throttlelock. I know that you have to unlock the screen with throttlelock first but I'm sorry - can't change that :-(

This is the behaviour of ThrottleLock. If his developer adds the feature of an exception list where you can add GAlarm.exe like there is in S2U2 there wouldn't be this problem...

2. please try to uncheck "Better powersaving during snoozing" - that should fix this behaviour

3. this goes in the direction of number 2 - again I can only tell you: please put a sock or a book or whatever over your phone (or turn it around) so your wife can sleep ;-)

If you put your device into standby mode it won't work...

requests:

1. already implemented for the next release

2. I don't want to place to much buttons on the alarm screen. my solution for your request: make multiple alarms with different snooze times for different days...

3. One-Time alarm: yeah, already on my todo list. probably next release, maybe in some versions later...

sorry for the problems which you had due to the new backlight mechanism... that's strange though... G-Alarm should restore original backlight settings after the alarm.

If you have time: could you please test it again and if that happens again, tell me what you did (snoozed, then closed the alarm or whatever...). You can restore your settings in the control panel (like you already found out by yourself - sorry for that again!)

stay tuned...

ageye.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JueLue:
New version realy works fine for me. Thanks.

Question: does anybody need the possibility to have seconds-precise alarms?

To leave this feature behind and to increase size of numbers (arrows) would make your prog more fingerfriendly in an easy way...

JueLue
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
even more fingerfriendly arrows... how big are your fingers ;-)

well, you're right... seconds-precise alarms are pretty useless... I need them to testing purposes but I think I can delete it in the next versions...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deuzeff:
:D

For the seconds, I join you in the testing purpose. When I test the new version, I set an alarm in 20 seconds, so I don't have to wait a whole minute or so :). Maybe make a test checkbox unlocking seconds or something :).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] windjohnson:
wow this is even better, and thanks for those new good features!

One thing is, I have tested the newest version yet, so I don't know if it has it, it's that, a function to import a playlist will be a very good and convenient idea!

Thanks again, I'll buy you a beer as soon as I have some money :D

pretty poor lately, but it's worth it!

interesting work!! i like give it a try,thanks hard work!!:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jcostanza4:
Great suggestion,

I guess I'm so used to the 3 alarm limit windows has I forgot you can have unlimited alarm profiles. "The Better Powersaving during snoozing" keeps the device awake and prevents it from locking, so it does work in all respects.

The one alarm program I found that overrides all screen apps is SPB Time 2, I don't know what they are doing to do this but it does show up over Throttle Lock and S2U2 in my device. I could tear it appart to see but I don't know where to begin.

Thanks for all the updates, and as far as the wife, I'll just put a sock on her!

Jcostanza4
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tekknogenius:
Again, thanks for G-Alarm...

A suggestion: Can you make an easier way to select AM/PM, currently one has to cycle the time. Also, can the buttons be larger for selecting the time.

Error/Issue:

I set it to powersave and after snoozing once, then turning off the alarm, the backlight didn't get reset to what it was prior. I had to manually set it back.

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
I think it would be useful to use G-Alarm as a reminder programme as well as a wake up alarm programme. For example I am using Throttle Launcher and if I set an alarm or reminder it won't show the text for the alarm over Throttle Launcher. All I get is an alarm bell in the top windows menu and a brief alarm sound thats it. Easy to miss the reminder. If I could set a reminder in G-Alarm for day time use I know I am not going to miss that lovely big green button coming on my screen.

I've tried to recreate the problem I had with backlight not being reset but can't up to now. It all seems to be working ok so far but it definitely did not reset the backlight on stopping the alarm during a snooze countdown. It happened very late so was not thinking straight and needed the device to be working for my work in the morning - sorry for all the panic :o

One other thing for me the time setting arrow buttons are too close together. When I am using the top arrows to set the time I can't see the numbers I am setting as my thumb is covering the time window. Have also a few times accidentally hit the hour arrow button arrow while pressing the minute arrow button and not realised and wondered why the alarm has not gone off at the time I thought I set it for. The snooze buttons are fine because they are to the side of the time window.

Nike compatibility? :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
One time alarms = reminders are implemented in the next version (probably released today?!?)

I reorder the arrow - buttons so it is more finger friendly
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chiekh:
Suggestion

Please can you add the option of the time or number to repeat the alarm before going to snooze. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bugzy:
so far i love the G-Alarm, but i got 2 comments

1. Maze with bigger circles to make it easier or maybe some new ideas for maze designs ;)

2. I get an error message once in while, but i think its been posted
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Alternative buttons which can be put in the G-Alarm/GFX/default/frmAddAlarm folder. Red button is false (not enabled) green button is true (enabled). Just something quick, simple and easy. I'm no skinner but someones got to start the ball rolling:)

I have no file uploading account so if anyone can help with that (if anyone is interested that is) please do.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Keng230:
Thank you for you great app. I really like it :-)

However, when I choose *.wav format, G-Alarm always get hang, also can't play sound.

Is it normal?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deuzeff:
Oh that's really nice :)!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
no that's not normal ;-)

freezes g-alarm already after selecting the file? or when it tries to play it during the alarm? have you tried alternative playback mode?

if the error occurs again, could you please share it?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bib_x:
Same Problem with the Backlight on my o2 Xda orbit 2 (HTC Polaris - Touch Cruise). Sometimes it works well and sometimes i have to set the backlight time manually to my old settings. g-Alarm sets to 10 seconds.

new ideas for your app:

* Option to set the time for Fade in. Maybe slow fade in - 60 seconds from 0 to 100 % Volume or fast fade in from 0 to 100% in 10 seconds.

* Settings for min Level for Fade in.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orlith:
Great app ! Thanks

Use it for the first time and will keep it for sure !

Ideas :

- maybe integrate alarms wit SU2U, meaning that alarms appears on the su2u screen (like appointment..)

- same with Touch Flo 3D in place of Windows alarms
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] windjohnson:
*the dot has becoming easier to move, somehow, that's not a good news.

*import playlists?

When we click 'Edit' if there's no alarms on list, program crash.

@ideas: keep them coming. I'll make it if it's possible but step by step ;-)

v0.4 is coming soon.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Just a few simple alternative up/down arrow buttons for the GFX/default/frmAddAlarm folder. I'm not sure but these arrows seem to give me more room for my thumb. These and check box buttons now linked for download.

Hope it will inspire for better things!
