GREAT PROGRAM, but i still miss 1 feature..

---> SUGGESTION;

an activate/deactivate button (so you don't have to edit the alarm each time you need to deactivate it for 1 day or so)...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] .wojtek:
Would it be possible to add such an option that for first x seconds of alarm there would be onli vibration and after set amount of second sound would start? For me music, even on the lowest setting is in the morning to lound (or, to be more precise - to others family members ;) ) and vibrate would suffice in most cases. And if it doesn't, then the normal music would come to the picture.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deuzeff:
Hi,

if you click the little bell in the alarm list, this will disable it.

IF you use the today plugin, you can also click the red square (or green if the alarm is activated).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Citrom traktor:
Yes, I have enough space. It's installed on the internal storage.

I just edited the alarms.xml with notepad. It seems writable.

I forgot to mention that this error message popped up after the ~5th alarm test. Since than I've had this problem. Install/uninstall doesn't help. :(

Alarm doesn't always work

First off, i just want to say that this alarm app is better than anything else out there for WM phones. Thank you for creating it. However, i seem to run into a problem almost 75% of the time. I will set an alarm, and it will never go off (or go off really late) WHen i look at the phone, the alarm will say it is sadi for 9:00 am, and the phone clock will say it is 9:10 (or something), but the countdown will show next alarm in 30 minutes (again, or some other time in the future) I am running a touch pro (which i see has not been tested and verified, but it's the same as a Diamond, almost) It's like the clock gets stuck at some point, and gets itself behind. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know. i love the concept of the program, i just need to try and get it working :-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FrederickUK:
Just a quick one - successfully awoken to a mixture of Barthezz and others at 6AM this morning!!

How do you go about making mazes for the unit as the ones included tend to repeat themselves if you snooze more than 3 or 4 times (yes, I'm lazy!)

Also, a brief feature suggestion if I may be so bold! How about making other forms of snooze-activation, say a small mental arithmetic problem (nothing major, just daft stuff like 14+58 or 17-9) to really wake the brain up. The maze idea is brilliant, but it's too easy to solve and drop back to sleep!

Having to solve 3 or 5 simple math problems before having access to the snooze button would be a benefit twofold - it would help improve people's mental arithmetic (thinking of something similar to the DS Dr Kawashima thing) and it would stimulate the brain into action in the mornings!!

Top class program :D

Using 0.9.4, I notice the backlight turns on when the snooze context menu is supposed to pop up. When I turn the backlight back on, the menu is still there.

Hi,

i got problems since i wanted to upgrade from 0.8.2 to 0.9.4

After installation i cannot start 0.9.4 because it gives an error ".NET CF-Initiation error" It tells me to reinstall .net cf but it still gives the same error. I installed NET CF 3.5 from ms, maby I need an other version?

Then I tried to reinstall 0.8.2 but installation fails because it says invalid digital signature :( are there any registry keys I need to delete to reinstall 0.8.2 which was working before?

thx for reply

ps. tried this the version from this forum and get the same error with 0.9.4 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=347537

Hi Bro Ageye..

Please help to solf my problem. I was installed G-alarm v.9.4 on my Omnia.

I was runed G-alarm on Today Screen also. But now theri is notification Error "Cannot execute \My Storage\Program Files\ageye\G-Alarm\GAlarm.exe."

Thank's for advanced...

Installed G-Alarm on my Fuze today with great anticipation, only to have the alarm go off and the g-sensor apparently not work at all. The ball just doesn't go anywhere. Teeter works, so my g-sensor obviously works. How do I go about finding out what is wrong with it so I can turn the alarm off without killing the g-alarm process?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
install G-Alarm directly on your main memory/ROM

Activate the option: "Use tilt sensor"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FrederickUK:
Oh that is awesome!!!

I didn't actually know that kind of an addon existed I must admit, just need someone to make a WinMo plugin so that if the following conditions are met:

Day - Friday/Saturday

Time - after 11:30PM until 5AM

GPS registers a pub/club has been visited

you have to solve math before you can send text messages or make drunken phone calls to the girlfriend!!!

It could revolutionise the drunk "I lub yooooo I do!" phone call!!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] samhds:
Thanks for this cool application.!

However i have a problem with the volume for the alarm. Previously when i was using the version 0.9.3, i had a loud volume. however now. the volume is soft and i tried all ways to increase the volume. any idea what is causing this problem or how i can increase the alarm volume? the alarm volume is relatively much softer then my other applications volume.

Help is appreciated. Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LHD:
Hi.

Apologies in advance if this has already been answered earlier but having read over 100 pages - I may have missed it.

The tilt sensor fails to action snooze when set to "face down". Works OK with the "shake" option.

Also, at times after the alarm is stopped after having been snoozed once or twice, it freezes my Touch Pro (screen is displaying all black) to the point where I have to soft reset it.

G-Alarm is installed /Program Files/ageye/G-Alarm

Thanx in advance and thank you for such a useful app!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sci05:
Next Update?

Looking at the to-dos and just wonder if or when you (developer) were going to work on the set alarm for a certain date. I think that's the only feature that this app is missing. Loving it so far though! keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
@tilt sensor: the touch pro isn't working yet. I can't test it for this device because I "only" have a diamond. I hopefully can fix this bug...

@black screen: try unchecking following options and tell me if it works afterwards:

I currently only have time to work for G-Alarm on the weekends which slows down the development. I hopefully can release 0.9.5 on sunday evening...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dtndvm:
Hi ageye:

GREAT APP!

Same problem with my Touch Pro (flip issue only...not freezing). Interestingly, I tried the Klaxon alarm before I found your alarm and it worked perfectly with my tilt sensor. However, your alarm is a much more sophisticated product. The developer of the Klaxon alarm has made his app open source and the code is available on his home page. This may help you to identify and fix the bug related to the sensor on the Touch Pro.

http://www.koushikdutta.com/search/label/Klaxon

If you need a tester for the Touch Pro, just PM me and I'll be glad to help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LogicL77:
I'm getting this same type of error on my Touch Pro. Any luck on the fix for this? Or where can I get version 0.9.3 ?

Thanks for making a wonderful alarm program and stopwatch.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
New version released: 0.9.5

First of all: Sorry for not answering every of your posts but I'm just to busy these days...

0.9.5 brings no new features but a lot of stability! I think I could fix many bugs. Please try if you still have crash/tilt sensor/not waking up/etc after snooze issues and report me...

I made some changes with the snooze mechanism so please: set an alarm (not just test it) and try snoozing before using G-Alarm for your important alarms!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] peterbonge:
No problem. Same here.

Now about the new version:

1. "[UPDATED] Tilt sensor: Face down/up mechanism":

Still doesn't work on the Touch Pro.

2. The bug with deactivating the S2U2 exception option still exist.

3. I and at least one more Touch Pro user had problems with the backlight settings on the previous versions. We had to disable both backlight settings. Do you have changed these functions? I'm asking because it seems that this update is related to snooze problems and I'm never using the snooze function.

Not related to this update: I have two small problems with the playlist settings:

1. Every time I open this setting I think it would be better if you would swap the "Up" and "Delete" buttons, so that the "Up/Down" buttons are among each other.

2. Every time I click on the "+" it lasts 15 seconds before I can select a file. This is far too much.

Tilt sensor now snoozes / turns off alarm on flip, not just on shake on Touch Pro. THANK YOU!

Black screen still appears after having unchecked the powersaving option (very infrequently, however, and much improved) Will test out more to try and isolate when exactly it occurs.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] neverdoubt:
request some fuction...

hi, ageye.

Im happily use G-alarm every day.

i as far as i know G-alarm saves alarm data in xml type.

but some times i needs alarm data for other today plugin

(to show next alarm, or on/ off..)

could you make g-alarm also saves alarm data to registry

(any where, data format may equal to WM default format would be GREAT!, not necessary all data only next soonest one)

again, thank you for wonderful program.:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
hi Peter,

thank you for your detailled post...

1. it should work now... two people posted that it works now on the Touch Pro. Please be aware that there are up to 5 seconds when an alarm goes off where G-Alarm ignores the sensor because after initializing it sometimes reports crap...

2.totally forgot the S2U2 bug. Sorry. Will change it ASAP for the next release :-)

3. I changed the backlight mechanism when you snooze an alarm. The idle backlight off mechanism I couldn't change yet because it made some problems...

playlist:

1. you're right. But unfortunately I can't swap the buttons because of the skins! Every skin creator would have to change his skin...

2. up to 15 seconds? this is too long. But maybe you have selected the windows folder as your playlist folder. Every file explorer needs long to read the whole windows folder or folders which contain lots of files!

thank you for testing. That's good...

thank you for testing. Hopefully we can figure out in which situations the black screen appears

if you check "Show next alarm in S2U2 (and others)" it will store the next alarm time in:

HKCU\System\State\Shell\Alarms\Next

if you check "Show on TF3D / Manila2D and others" it will store the next alarm in:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Clock\0

If you need other formats (like a string which containts the same information as the today plugin) just let me know!

Not work on Samsung Omnia after install other applications

I reset my Omnia and install G-Alarm and it work very well.. But after few days and few software installation, the tilt sensor does not work anyway. Why? I install Caver too and it work. Only sensor of g-alarm not work. Thank's for reply and excuse for my poor english.

PS I try to install g-alarm in main memory and in my storage too and try various set of option enabled or disabled.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LHD:
Not sure if it is another app that is playing up but since updating to the latest v 0.9.5, have found my backlight settings go haywire...

Backlight dims itself after approx 1 second no matter what setting is selected (default HTC's auto or manual). Display is still visible but just low illumination.

Unchecked the backlight option in settings.

Uninstalled / reinstalled v0.9.5 to no avail.

Installed 0.9.4 (where no such issue occurred) and still problem persists. Tried to use G-Light to overcome this and nothing.

Tried Advance Configuration Tool to completely disable light sensor - still issue exists.

Is it a pure coincidence or the changing of backlight mechanism mentioned in ageye's post may have caused this?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
please send me your settings.xml to http://www.ageye.de/?s=contact

I haven't changed anything but you can reset this by going to Start -> Settings -> System -> Power management -> Advanced

please change every value there (although they already might show the right value but you have to change them otherwise it won't work!), tap ok and go there again and change every value back to your needs...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jancortenbach:
Great stuff! Best alarm I've come across!!

However, there are still some things I'm missing :P

- Easy to set alarm, to set a new alarm you have to run the program, edit the existing alarm, go to the page with the alarm time, and change the alarm time using the arrows. This takes quite some time when you set your alarm every evening. Maybe it's possible that when a user changes the integrated windows alarm (which is at the G-Alarm time), the G-Alarm time changes with it? This is easy for standard windows mobile users as well as manilla2d users!

- Different snooze times. When I press the snooze button on my old Windows Mobile alarm, it gives me the option to snooze 5, 15 or 30 minutes. This is quite handy for when you decide to skip that first lecture because the night before you had a beer to many ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
- that's not quite right... you just need to start g-alarm, add a quick alarm and you're done...

I can't integrate G-Alarm into the windows mobile alarm page because I can't see when someone changes the time there...

- different snooze times are already included: simply tap and hold your finger over the snooze button. a popup menu will appear where you can select different snooze times...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] peterbonge:
You are right. It works. I don't know why it didn't work last night.

Now that it works: It seems that it doesn't work while snoozing. It would be nice if you could change this.

1. If the system switches off the backlight I can still see a little bit. If GA switches off the backlight I can see nothing. So isn't it rather "Screen off" than "Backlight off"?

2. It seems that the sensor actions don't work if the screen/backlight is off. Is this correct? Somehow this would be logical, but it should be mentioned somewhere.

Yes, that's a problem. But there is always a way. Just an example/suggestion:

Just add an version value to one of the skin's XML file (Why are there 2 XML files? You should combine them.) With this value you can decide where to place these two buttons.

Now I've copied the most important alarm sounds into "My Documents" and it works much faster. Thanks for the hint.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jancortenbach:
You are brilliant ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hanackin:
hi ageye....

sorry but I didn't understand...it comes from the mobile ?

the other forum is the same than "lepsyfou", a famous french forum dedicated for mobile :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
The point is that I don't "invent" a new time. I use the time windows mobile tells me.

If you're in the control panel there is exactly the same time as in G-Alarm
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hanackin:
yeh, ok, I knew that microsoft were crappy, but anyway, I've never noticed that but effectively there is a difference between the today time and the control panel one....:eek:

By the way the forum is "www.actualitemobile.com" ;)

so I'm afraid there will be no solution..., even if it is not obstructing at all :cool:

Thanks a lot! :cool:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
New version online: v0.2.2!

The last version for at least one week...

Some remarks:

- On WM6 (and above) devices: I switched to alternative playback mode with the former standard playback mode. please use the new standard playback mode (uncheck alternative playback mode) - it has better performance and produces less error... If it doesn't work, try alternative playback mode...

- If you had the problem that the device didn't wake up, try it with this version and report me if it works now...

- If your device didn't wake up after clicking on "Snooze alarm", try unchecking "Save power during snooze time" - this consumes more battery but is necessary on some devices...

-ThrottleLock and S2U2: please tell me if it works now! Thanks...

- Please read the changelog on the first page to see which bugfixes I implemented

Have fun with it!

In a few hours I start my vacation to italy for about one week.

Please don't spam this topic during the time! Just post bug reports/ideas which haven't been posted already.

For me, with a HTC Universal and a cooked WM6.1, v0.2.2 doesn't work at all, even not, if the device is switched on and the programm is open.

It always says "Next alarm in: ....., and if the time is over, it says "No upcoming alarm".

In this way it is a very reliable alarm clock and have been using it successfully for about a week now.

Nice Alarm Program!

A few suggestions (from my limited use):

1. Seconds not needed in setting the alarm hours and minutes are more than enough :)

2. Use the regional settings to determine default time display (ie, 24HR format versus AM/PM)

3. To make the program more polished, I would create a dialog box for the confirmation. The standard dialog box looks out of place against the nice graphics of the alarm clock.

Thank again. Great program...

BTW I'm using it on a Wizard

S2U2 alarm show option bug?

hi ageye.

sorry for bother you again.

here's another problem to using alarm data in reg.

after reboot(soft-reset) alarm data in reg(S2U2 format) is missing.

to make it working i have to launch G-alarm and

edit alarm(already setted one) and save, exit G-alarm

, then g-alarm write alarm data to reg.

i donno why alarm data in reg is deleted after reset.

i guess OS rewriting alarm data after reset.

(there no alarm in WM's alarm program => no next alarm data)
