Looking good :) Do you have an ETA ?

@ageye:

yes I have activated the shake feature.

strange thing happened today though. previously, I could shake the phone violently and it wouldn't snooze. Today, I simply picked up the phone (didnt' even shake it yet) and it snoozed (so like u said, sensitive)! Strange how sometimes it's not sensitive, soetimes too sensitive.

@Dai

would math/maze really be necessary to turn off the alarm. Having to confirm it already requires you actually paying attention to the screen to turn it off. Sometimes, you want to turn off the alarm quickly because it might wake up others around you, or ur in the rush.

how about this idea (i'm not sure the difficulty in programming this, I have no idea about it): have the "confirm to close" box appear in a random place each time on the screen (example, at one time, it's in the centre, 2nd time, top left corner, etc.). Thus, you can never get used to where to press OK (and so might turn it off subconsciously to shut off the alarm) or accidentally turn off the alarm when u didn't mean to.

Tf3d clock bug

Hi ageye, i use your alarm app since the begining on my trinity without any problem, but now i'm an happy user of thouch HD i have one. Tested on three different rom (WWE and FRE), when i activate the TF3D integration then soft reset all work great ( it appears on my home tab) but the clock is frozen, only the home clock nothing esle. That's a strange problem because if i desactivate the integration and soft reseet, all come back fine. But in every case G-alarm is working great for me. Don't know if it happens to others, search your thread for same bug but haven't found a solution. Thanks for your job and your share.

edit: sorry to fear you before a 1.0 release, finally on a blackstone french forum where i thread we have found that's it could be a 24/12 hour bug from regional settings, it happen with some apps modifying the home tab. Not G-alarm fault, it only launch an existant bug. Soory for having post but take me one week with a frozen clock and hundrerd of thread reading before finding that. Thanks to G-team.

soft reset and Today screen plugin

Hi ageye:

When I soft reset my Sprint Mogul (PPC6800) wm6.1, G-Alarm's Today plugin does not load on the Today screen. I have to go to settings and disable and re-enable it to get to come up again. Additionally, the Today plugin is slower to load than other items on the Today screen when I am going to different programs and coming back to the Today screen. I am using G-Alarm v0.9.8.3. Thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
I put the preamp up to halfway - the lock up seems to be getting more frequent happened after 4 snoozes today - had to remove battery to get the thing going again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hanackin:
YAHOO!!!! Good job guys, I love it I can't wait for it :D:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
nice

don't forget about my feature request (instead of going first to labyrinth or math and THEN having to click stop or snooze, do the exact opposite, i.e. present stop and snooze buttons and if user clicks snooze to snooze -no labyrinth or math- and if he clicks stop THEN pop-up labyrinth or math)

also I am positive that G-Alarm started twice - I talked in SSMaPa thread but since the author doesn't update it any more, no luck - if you ask me it is not possible that this is SSMaPa's fault, as G-Alarm itself shouldn't allow multiple instances even if a buggy program calls it 100 times (and if you say it doesn't allow multiple instances then it is a bug because it does)

keep up the good work :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vip_snoopy:
hi ageye,

I am having problem with the alarm.

My Diamond's ROM is dutty's 3.6b, when I first installed G-Alarm it worked fine.

After a couple of days, for instance today, I set the alarm to be at 4AM, but at 4AM prompt, the alarm didn't go off. I launched G-Alarm and it told me that it's still 1:15:00 til the next alarm.............

I have checked the fix windows alarm bug in the settings, just so you know...

I have also performed hard reset and clean installation, same thing....

This not only happened on this version of the ROM, but it also happened in previous versions. It will first work correctly for a while, then the time starts off wrong..

Please help me in resolving this problem. Thanks.

Also the Today Plugin seems to disappear from the today screen now after a soft reset. Reappears if you uncheck, recheck it in the items list. I think this was already reported by others.

Thanks for the great program. Really love it and hope I can get it working again.

Hi,

I have a Touch Diamond and whenever I set the alarm it never activates G-Alarm but instead just pops up a standard windows mobile reminder at the bottom of the screen. Is there something I need to change?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I really don't mean this to sound obvious, but just to make sure....when you set the alarms, your setting them through G-Alarm and not the WM alarm settings....right?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kwill:
it appears either one. whether i choose to snooze when device turned down or when i choose to close alarm when shaking. so, whenever the phone wakes up, whatever option i have chosen (snooze, or just close) on shake or turning the device over, it does it before i have a chance to do anything. hope that makes sense:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kilrah:
Nice app!

It seems to work perfectly fine on my Kaiser.

However, maybe my only gripe, and it seems I only saw it mentioned once in early development, so maybe it's due to something else: Some actions are really slow!

In the UI it's mostly when either creating a new standard alarm or modifying one, after clicking the device will be "busy" for approx 8 seconds! before the dialog appears. This doesn't happen with a quick alarm. Does someone else notice that?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
this is because you installed G-Alarm over a previous version. The installer automatically updates the registry to disable the today plugin. When you softreset your device the today plugin is disabled...

I fixed this in 1.0 but unfortunatelly I can't touch the current installer that's why you will face this bug again when you will install 1.0 (as soon as it's done)

I hope I could improve this for v1.0, please keep me up to date when I released 1.0

please don't post feature requests twice - I don't forget it.

@SSMaPa: Windows doesn't allow multiple instances of a program.

Obviously it does when G-Alarm is launched with SSMaPa - I already have implemented a check if G-Alarm is already running. Hopefully this works with SSMaPa (I don't have TF3D -> I can't test it)

please inform me if it works with v1.0

does galarmwakeup.exe exists in your windows directory?

@copy/paste the debug: I use MyMobiler -> free screenshot tool.

@today plugin: see my above answer

@outofmemory bug: I hope I could fix it with v1.0

I see what I can do

G-Alarm is slow. This is because of the many options (even without loading a skin G-Alarm needs about 3.5 seconds to load the form to add an alarm) and because of the skins. I could improve the loading times with v1.0 by storing the alarms in the registry (instead of a xml file) and cleaning my code but it still needs about 5 seconds when you want to create a standard alarm.

I have done everything! The compact framework and the devices are just too slow...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Marry Christmas!

expo7 and I really gave our very bests (I'm working 5-10 hours daily on G-Alarm) but we can't release v1.0 on the 24th

as a compensation you get some screenshots of the new GUI and how you can customize it...

Here is the default skin:

And here comes the best. Without making a new skin (of course you still can) you can easily adjust the colors, the wallpaper and the transparency of the skin.

(The wallpaper you see now is not made by me. I have found it somewhere in this forum - I hope that it is ok that I use it here)

Now you ask me when I can release v1.0?

I really hope (and think) that I can release it before 2009 :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
GREAT work man.

BTW something strange happened this morning (and had the side effect of really waking me up... :D):

labyrinth came up but device was very slow to respond - I moved it to the side and waited for 3-4 seconds until the ball moved, then again and again... and at all this time the alarm ringed (in fact especially when playing the wav the device was slow)

I using a small normal wav file (small file from another program) as ringer, nothing too fancy

I just report it now, it could be something with my device, will get back to you if it happens again
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kwill:
thanks and looking forward to v1 release!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kilrah:
Wow.

I have another idea. If the quick alarms are fast, it must be related to the number of options on the standard alarms, right?

What about loading the main page only first, then background load the rest while one's entering the time, as it will take way long enough anyway?

Or load each page when the navigation arrow is clicked? I think waiting 0.5s-1s on each page load would already be better than one LONG wait at the start, especially when all you want to do is change the alarm time and you don't need to access the other pages...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I have never thought of this idea! You are great! I think this is possible!! This needs some rewriting but may be possible and can save some time. I will report tomorrow when I have tested this
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dr g:
been using 9.8.3 for about a week, so far:

- Experienced 2 device lockups, one overnight and one during the alarm activation period while the device was on standby. Soft reset fixed.

- "Shake to snooze" sensitivity seems extremely high right now, if you so much as touch the device, the alarm snoozes. I think I preferred the previous versions' sensitivity where you had to kind of violently shake it. Maybe make this settable?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shahriar5252:
soft reset and Today screen Plugin

Hi ageye:

I think you misunderstood my original quote. You are right about the G-Alarm's Today screen plugin not showing up when I switch to a newer version of G-Alarm. However, the problem that I was talking about was for doing usual soft resets when wm6 needs it because of other reasons (i.e., not b/c of switching to a new version of G-Alarm):

When I soft reset or turn on my Sprint Mogul (PPC6800) wm6.1, G-Alarm's Today plugin does not load on the Today screen, regardless of whether I installed a new version or not. I have to go to settings and disable and re-enable it to get to come up again. Additionally, the Today plugin is slower to load than other items on the Today screen when I am going to different programs and coming back to the Today screen. I am using G-Alarm v0.9.8.3. Thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] expo7:
I had the same problem with this version on my diamond.

but its solved with 1.0 :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
it works!!

1s for loading the form to add/edit an alarm... absolutely brilliant! works like a charm.

I don't know why I haven't thought of this earlier

thank you so much for having this idea!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kilrah:
Cool, happy I could contribute a bit after only about 10 minutes of use :D

Which of the 2 suggestions did you implement? load on arrow click?

Proves that

means nothing when you've had your head for too long in a project, you forget the simple things ;)

...and G-Alarm did pass its first test, it woke me up fine this morning :D

I was using Klaxon before, but it was slow as hell too, no more support, and had a few bugs (including a very annoying one where the snooze wouldn't work if the phone was turned on after the snooze button was clicked and the device turned off by itself...)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] azurepalm:
The alarm works great for me but is it just me or does the buttons on the main screen look stretched on HTC Touch HD (WVGA, 480x800, portrait, v0.9.8.3)?

Also, I love skin support and the author of the "Diamond Mat" skin, it makes G-Alarm more at home on the HTC. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stouph52:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] webwiper:
I have an Omnia, use Ifonz and S2U2 (both latest version). I installed G-alarm (latest version) 2 days ago.

Yesterday I set the alarm for 9am this morning. I woke up at 10.15, the alarm did not sound. As soon as I pushed a button on the phone to make it light up, I saw the S2U2 screen (with the notification of the set alarm at 9am) and G-alarm started to 'work' ...

Why did it not work at 9am ? This is very anoying, cause I like the software but would like to be able to depend on it ...

Any help ?

Edit : problem solved. Safe mode in S2U2 was 'on', I turned it off yesterday and this morning it worked.

galarm and headphones

That might be a stupid question, but... Is it possible to have galarm sound the alarm loud, even while using headphones? I use the headset really often and as the alarm can be heard then only through the headphones, I am afraid that I could miss some of the reminders. Is there a way to change it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bubbleflubber:
Problem...

Hello all,

I know, I know... hit the "search" button; but honestly, this forum is 155 pages, and I didn't seem to find the specific problem I am having.

I installed this a month or so ago, and it worked perfectly. Woke me up, snoozed properly, all settings seemed to be very well done.

Unfortunately, my problem is NOW that G-Alarm will auto snooze by itself, sometimes after one second, sometimes after 3 seconds or so... not a continuous "set" time frame.

I actually noticed the problem when I got Pocket Shield, the locking/unlocking software. However, I've tried G-Alarm with PS on AND off, and it doesn't seem to make a difference.... the alarm will begin, and then just on its own, auto-snooze.

I've tried every configuration known with the settings, and it still won't work correctly. I've even disabled the PS "lock", with the screen still on, but it just won't stop auto-snoozing.

Is this something that others have experienced?

I'm almost certain that it has something to do with Pocket Shield. The PS program is not a necessity for me, and I may try out S2U2 to see if there's any compatibility issues.

Just a thought. Thanks for your consideration... wonderful program (especially that I'd pick it... freeware.... over PS, a paid program).

Thanks,

Bubbleflubber
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iridio:
I've the same exact problem. I use Answerkey disabler 0.5.1 but I have noticed this problem recently since last version I think. Before it worked always like a charm.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SlappyHours:
First of all, great programm ! Thanks :) I think I will donate if the tool is going to work flawlessly (I just got my new phone).

Anyway... about the manilla integration:

- It shows the correct alarm time on the manilla main screen.

- But when I click the manilla alarm, the old windows alarm screen will show up, and not the G-Alarm.

Is there a way to integrate G-Alarm better into Manilla ? So I will just have to click the alarm on the manilla screen to start G-Alarm ?

Thanks!

PS: Oh, and I agree... speeding up the performance of this tool would be... cool ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vangrieg:
In order to change links in Manila you'll need a tool called ssmapa. You can find it in this forum. The problem is that links are hardcoded, so charging them requires patching manila.exe, and I doubt that adding an option like this will or should be implemented in G-Alarm.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SlappyHours:
Ah, okay. Thanks !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bubbleflubber:
Well, I can confirm that it's not the other software that I thought was the problem. I uninstalled PocketShield, and it's still doing the same weird "autosnooze" pattern. Sometimes after 1 second, sometimes 2 or 3, but not anything constant.

BTW, Alltel Touch Pro... no cooked rom, just some advanced config and diamond config (program) stuff, but nothing else.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orlandojumpoff:
I like how galarm shows the alarm time in tf3d and i noticed how it changes the alarm settings in the default windows alarm screen... is it possible to change the alarm in the default settings and have it update galarms time that way? i think i remember hearing not to do that cause of problems in the earlier versions, but maybe it's ok now? please let me know, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
it would be nice - but I don't really care if it happens :)

at least it doesn't have the TF3D integration problems another program (semi-obsolete now) had

Hi there!

ageye, what a great app!

This already woke me up once, but I'm also using a second alarm, external to the PocketPC, just in case!

The new version 1 looks AMAZING! I am so waiting for this :D

EDIT: the Portuguese translation needs some work (long translations lead to fractioned sentences). Is it possible to "auto-size" text to fit a given area (shrink to fit)?

Keep it up and happy new year :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
well... I seem to have problems

last Friday it was very slow in the g-sensor "response" to the labyrinth, today it was totally ignoring my movements (and during this time it was ringing normally) - I had to soft reset before my wife would kill me

no problems in weekend (where I don't use labyrinth or math)

only possibly related app is AnwerKeys Disabler that I've been using BEFORE G-Alarm

any way to help debugging this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] escobap:
great apppp on omnia ! the best alarm ever

eh i got omnia with manila, alarm for htc... i think its time for htc :)

ps. maybe there is any theme for omnia sick resolution??

ps2. ok, i am working on a omnia theme:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
please try it if it works with v1.0

this is not yet possible, why do you have your earphones plugged in? well, I will see if I can do this...

I think this is because it receives some gestures of the tilt sensor... Try using v1.0 and if it's still not working try unchecking "use tilt sensor"

this is not possible. How should g-alarm know that you have changed the windows alarm

for now you have to shrink the translation somehow. it's not yet possible to auto-size it. I will see what I can do in future versions

please try v1.0 - I improved some things - maybe your problems are solved as well...
