With the time in the past- Basically, you set the alarm time some hours or minutes ahead, set it for singular alarm, set it for today's date, click the check mark at the bottom and the error message will appear. This seems to be random. If I follow these steps the first time after opening G-Alarm after a soft reset, there's a good chance it will work. When I follow these steps after closing and re-opening G-Alarm, the error message will appear more often than not. Just speculating, but maybe if time and date were not unbinded during the set procedure, and rebinded after the check to set the alarm is selected??

As far as the splash screen, its not a huge deal. It would just give things a more professional look if the background was consitent. I would prefer to have it skinnable, or perhaps just have the Ageye logo pop up rather than the whole screen go blackish grey.

I do think this is the best alarm program that I have seen, both in functionality and form. I wouldn't be surprised to see HTC/Microsoft include this app or one like it in future rom's.

I think I got it now... stupid me... I think I release v1.4.5 this evening.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Peppep:
You have forgotten to update the thread link on your about page: http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=galarm/about

It links to the old thread for <v1.0.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
New version released: v1.4.5

If the "date is in the past"-bug is still there, I'm too stupid and will discontinue working on G-Alarm and delete all of its code...

Changelog: http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=galarm/changelog

thank you!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Isotopes:
Is not your serious, right? :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Peppep:
No alarm is in the past bug, but it's looping endlessly now! I pressed close, confirmed, and it went off again straight away.

I manged to shut it up by snoozing now, will se if closing works when it comes back again. As soon as I'm able to close it, I'll post the debug file. :P

Edit: I had to kill the process. It didn't like that, because it wouldn't start afterwards. Then I went to Advanced Task Manager, killed GAlarmScreen, now it works again.

What I did was to test for the date is in the past bug. I went to create new alarm, went to a time some hours ahead to get past midnight. It worked without the bug, and I went to test the alarm. That's what caused the loop. Getting the log now, should be uploaded in a minute.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LordDeath:
I have to confirm that. It stucks in an endless loop. I solved the puzzle to close the alarm, then it starts to load and then the alarm comes back. Then I killed the process.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I just uploaded it again.

Please try it now... stupid bug again...

EDIT again: deuzeff: you're so right. I'm just too young - I'm too fast ;-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deuzeff:
Sometimes it's better to take a pause and work in peace, with less pressure. Wise decision age :).

Good luck finding the cause of these bugs ;).

EDIT: you edited while I was posting :P, hope you got them hehe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Peppep:
It works now, thank you!

Although I understand that you don't want to use another version number because of this, it will be annoying for those who downloaded 1.4.5-1 within the hour it was available, since AppToDate doesn't detect a new version. ;)

Problem with G-Alarm since 1.4.1/2

Hi @ all,

first of all i have to say g-alarm is a really nice software! and u done a great job and ur support is unbelievable!

my device is a HTC Artemis and im using version 1.4.5. i have a strange bevavior with the few last versions of g-alarm (1.4.1/1.4.2/1.4.3/1.4.4/1.4.5). when the alarm starts i push snooze. sound goes off - short loading time - display goes off. so far so good. now (the display is still off) the next music file out of the configured list starts! i have to activate the display again and push snooze again. now all works fine! i have to do this every time. so i can reproduce the strange behavior! i hope u understand everyting i wrote.

thx for help

mfg Alex

PS: Log file attached :-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chas123:
Set five singular alarms, and no date in the past message. Just donated.

I did not see the splashscreen setting in the registry.

Edit: Never mind. I just added it.

Thanks for the awesome app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
I am still getting this since v1.4.2 up to 1.4.4 - with one sound file.

Problem with windows title bar disappearing all fixed. Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Because some of you requested a tool like that:

G-Profile

-------------------------------------

Thank you! I will look into that...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shinyzhu:
Great application!

I'll try it now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] schreda:
did you wrote this, because you're angry about this or did you mean this for real??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I wrote this because I was sure that this bug is fixed and because I was so angry about myself that I always didn't see this single line which caused the problems...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 4D3:
The reason you are missing it is probably because you are angry!

was the same for me when doing my degree, i studied mathematics, some of my coursework questions were 4-5 pages and took over 5 weeks to answer, with roughly 45-50 pages.

90% of the time i was fine, but the times i did screw something up and couldnt find the issue i used to get so mad it made my blindness worse!

my solution, hand it to someone that can read what you have written and get a second opinion!

(what you written it in? maybe i can help?)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cybermaus:
Integration with WM UI .....

Not a bad idea. But rather than installing entire GAlarm into /windows, I created a small wrapper program. Install that in \windows and it will call GAlarm in its normal install directory. (Unfortunately this test app the install directory is hardcoded, sorry, only for Dutch/NLD ROMS...)

And you know what: It works!:D

Mobile Shell, Mobile Shell today plugin and the normal windows date today plugin seamlessly go from finger friendly Mobile Shell to finger friendly GAlarm. And the Alarm actually sounds at the set time too (well, a good minute late, but it seems it takes time to wake up S2U2)

Advantages:

- No more 'Dummy' messages

- G-Alarm from all normal alarm and clock links

Disadvantages:

- Only for NLD roms (only for \Programmabestanden\ageye\G-Alarm\GAlarm.exe)

- You can now only set Alarm, you cannot set Date/Time/Timezone. At least not with clock.exe

- Beta/PoC: Well, it works for me, but this is my first Windows Mobile app, so you are warned ;)

To uninstall, simply delete clock.exe again, the ROM version will automatically appear.

Glad to hear comments. I cannot guarantee response though. The following comments are obvious and need not be made:

- Please enhance to read registry for WWE and other languages

- Please enhance to include installer CAB
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
good idea - waiting for the version that doesn't use hardcoded paths (and uses system variables instead)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Nice idea. Although you don't want to hear a comment like that, I'll bring it up:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ageye\G-Alarm\Path contains the installation path of G-Alarm...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PauloR:
Portuguese language updated for v1.4.5 ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cybermaus:
That I already knew, thanks. I am fighting a bit with RegQueryValueEx() and casting from LPBYTE* to LPCWSTR

Though, now you bring it up. Which do you think is better to use:

HKCU\Software\ageye\G-Alarm\Path

HKLM\Software\Apps\ageye G-Alarm\InstlDir

HKLM\Software\Apps\ageye G-Alarm\InstallDir
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aiamb:
thank you for such an excellent alarm software

I have used it for 3 weeks now on HTC Touch HD device.

Recommended and needed enhancements:

1- provide a way to play the alarm file from the playlist while creating or updating a new alarm

2- provide a better way to select alarm files as the check box is too small for the finger and you need the stylus to do that

3- the mainpage of the program shows at the top the remaining time for the next alarm, I wish if you highlight the next alarm also from the list (give it different color or background)

4- the program creates some debug files, I suggest you remove them or give an option in the setup page to enable or disable this feature

5- provide a way to export and import the alarms information in a single file for backup and also to enable the user to import them in another PDA. and during the import give the option to import all or selective alarms.

6- Give an option in the program setup page (or for each alarm) that if the device is in silent mode do not play the alarm just display it in the screen and flash the screen light.

thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chas123:
If you change the name of the original clock.exe to "say" systemclock.exe, and create a shortcut in the \windows\start menu for said, you will still be able to set date, timezone etc. through either the start menu progam dialogue or file explorer.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eazy2001x:
[UPDATED] G-Alarm forces playback over the speaker even if a headset is connected

can you make this an option? I loved this and it sucks that you removed it.. but a option would be better..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cybermaus:
Well, I liked your earlier suggestion better: clock_system.exe

Cause then it is next to the new clock in file explorer etc.

However, despite the link you provided, I have not yet figured out *how* to copy a ROM file (not that I spend a lot of time on it yet).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giovag7:
I can confirm: with 1.4.5 version too this feature no longer works also if i don't snooze manually :(

I have always used it before...

It is dangerous because if i leave mi phone alone with scheduled alarm, it discharge unnecessarily the battery.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] andrei.nica:
Bugs with G-alarm

First of all, great app!

The reason why I'm using this alarm is to remind me to have a cup of tea every hour while at work. But using the latest version on my HTC Touch brought me to the following bugs:

1. if I set the alarm to vibrate only, G-alarm still requieres me to have at least one mp3 in the playlist and moreover, it plays it during vibration. It acts right, only when the device sound is muted. I tried this also with and without the "Fix Windows alarm bug", after restarting the device. Maybe the vibrate/volume page could be placed before the playlist page and if volume is set to 0, than not to ask for a plylist file

2. after sounding the alarm, snooze is not atomatically enabled. And when it's manually snoozed it does not consider the original alarm time for the next ringing but the time of the manual snooze. An "automatically repeat snooze for X times" option on the snooze page would more than welcome. This is because users may want the alarm to ring for 6 time e.i. from 30' to 30' let's say so that they know that half hour passed.

3. the last bug was if I entered the "close alarm button" and have set it to a calculation, there is no way to return to the snooze button or any other option unless I do right the calculation or move the ball right. A new screen of choice would be welcome when calculation is wrong.

4. can one return from the labirinth screen without getting the ball to the exit point?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iridio:
Hi all,

I just want to report that the close alarm with tilt sensor don't work anymore.

I did a recalibration in the setting by deselecting the option and then reselect it, but when the alarm start if I put face down the phone the alarm still play.

I want also to report that since this version every time I stop the alarm a messagebox asking the confirmation for closing it appear. (I'm sure the options "confirm close alarm" is set to off)

Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] schreda:
so the bug finnaly is fixed?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dERfREEB:
lite version of g-alarm

hi ageye,

i have a question. does it make sense to make a lite version of g-alarm (without tilt sensor, light sensor etc.)? to save device and program memory and speed it up a little bit? just for devices which have only touch screen like artemis....

or does this have no effect at all or makes a lot of work?

thx for support:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] band27:
Well my thought on a light version for me doesn't make sense because of how this particular program gives u choices upon installation.

It allows you to delete the other languages not needed. Give you a choice to not install mazes/puzzles and plugins, etc. So in a way the user get's to choice whether they want the full or lite version anyways, yes?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giovag7:
There is already an option "autosnooze after x sec" and it is working :confused:

I disagree this idea, g-alarm is already a light software, much more than others.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
I support this idea. It would be very useful for people maybe with older devices that don't have the luxury of 2mb space available. It would also be great to have just an alarm that played an alert through an exe and no features other than that. Light, simple and effective.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cybermaus:
Hmm, like the standard windows mobile one?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Imunalia:
If you can use a couple longer music files it will stop happening. I think it is because it cues the next song up right away when you snooze and for some reason if its not long enough sometimes it starts to play right away
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NeoXTC:
I was wondering for the "quick alarm" can you put in we can set a date as well?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Steili:
Since I installed the 1.4.5. release, I have a problem: when I push "snooze" on an active alarm, sometimes, the alarm starts playing the music once again right after pressing the snooze-button...

Any solution?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giovag7:
Update in the autoclose alarm problem:

I can confirm that since version 1.4.x "close alarm after x min" and "close alarm after x times" too, no longer works.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] klockers:
I have a problem with version 1.4.5 with the manually snooze function.

I press the snooze button but 2 seconds after this the alarm goes on again and snooze works after this second time.

I haven't set any automitical snooze (all theese values are 0)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Steili:
It´s the same problem I have...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anheuer:
I have the same issue now with 1.4.5
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MasterScreech:
I have a problem with G-Alarm which i can't fix;

Everyday my Diamond goes on at 23:59:45 and it seems to be that G-Alarm is doing it.

In Task Manager/Notifications there is an notification called "\windows\GAlarmWakeup.exe" with the following options:

- Arguments: midnight

- Type: CNT_TIME

- Start: *date* 23:59:45

I didn't set an alarm on that time!?

If i remove or disable this notification my diamond doesn't startup at that time anymore.

But if i reset my diamond this notification is back and enabled...so it will startup again at 23:59:45.

Does anybody know how to fix this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cybermaus:
Its *supposed* to wakeup at that time. I recall some WM issue otherwise messes up the alarm date or something, so it is important for the OS to observe midnight rollover. I do not remember the specifics.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FoneBone:
Take a look here: http://ageye.de/index.php?s=galarm/manual/hidden_options

The point "Don't wakeup at midnight" will help you (maybe).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MasterScreech:
Ok...i've found an option on the ageye site...

Don't wakeup at midnight

Because of the Windows alarm bug, G-Alarm wakes the device at midnight so Windows Mobile can rebuild its notification queue. If you turn this off by changing or adding following registry value, it may happen that an alarm doesn't go off:

MidnightWakeUp: False

I've changed this option so it will not startup.

I will try and hope that it is reliable otherwise i have to change the option back to "true"

But the disadvantage is that if it goes on in my pocket at that specific time it will be active and i can accidentally call someone or so.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
There is a very helpful fix posted by Imunalia just above your post #667. Look at #665.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Steili:
Thank you... but it worked well until I installed the newest version, so I hope it´s a problem that will be fixed in a future release. I use only one mp3-file for the alarm and don´t want to change that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Re-Mi:
Auto update?

Hey all,

I'm finding this app one of the most usefull one's for my diamond. But with updates almost every day isn't it an idea to insert a function for auto update or something like that.

My idea would be.

a function you can turn off and on. The update check will run on the time you want lets take 8:00 pm. If there is an update you will simply get a notification.

"Update available" "priority" "versionnumber" and 2 buttons download and decline.

After you push download the cab file will download directly to our mobiles.

if you push decline it will check again tomorrow.

Think about it, maybe it's not even possible i'm not sure i'm not a programmer :P

[edit]

added a picture to support my idea
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Steili:
I would enjoy to have such a feature,too.

Otherwise, you can check updates by using the freeware "AppToDate".
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MaH112:
I sooo like this application! Thanks man.

Since I couldn't find some sorts of wish list where I could make a suggestion for upcomming features, I post it right here:

How about the app showed a random picture from a pre-defined folder once an alarm comes up?

Like that, I could wake up to my favorite por...erm... puppy pictures.

Thanks again, dude!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Raudi1:
I use external speakers to wake me up and it is a bit annoying that the sound also comes through the speaker of the phone. Is there an option to change this? I haven't found one, even in the registry.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Shouma:
I always get an unexpected error when staring GAlarm.exe :S never happened be4...

ArgumentOutOfRangeException...

Fixed the problem. Thanks mate for the gr8 app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rareness4:
I've been testin out the new version and for some reason when the alarm is about the go off(so you think), the screen would light up but nothing would play and the screen would go off. Then when you turn the screen on manually, the alarm would play. I believe this happened on v. 1.4.4 also. Attached is the debug file. Sry for the length
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deuzeff:
Hi age,

the problem I had with 1.4.2 that the backlight wouldn't switch off during an alarm is gone with 1.4.5. That's a damn stable version on my Kaiser, many thanks!

I also use only one mp3 file so I would love to see this bug be fixed
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] daapalm06100610:
I find a bug (v1.4.5) that

I can't revise the title for a alarm, the input method can't be found in this screen.

Thanks very much.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] N!ghty:
Tip

one morning i accidently presset the "x" thing while snoozing - after that theres no going back (i got labyrinth to confirm exit).

maybe a "back" button would be nice to continue with snooze.

hope u ll consider it :cool:

cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zard:
Using version v1.4.5 on two different Kaiser roms and the same problem had happened again.

1. I set an alarm for Mon,Tue,Wed,Thur and Fri, 6.15am, select one wave file as the sound for the alarm. When alarm sounds, it plays a different wave file. I went into the HKCU registry to see the default sound and it shows that it is the correct wave file I had selected.

2. I don't seem to find anywhere in G-alarm to set it so that for my very first alarm when sounded, it doesn't prompt me to decide whether I want it to prompt me to close the alarm or something.

3. When in settings or creating a new alarm or editing an existing alarm, when I make a change or selection and press the right arrow key or left arrow key, the screen always go back to the first screen with the alarm time.

I have not faced the above in version 1.4.4 or earlier.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twe90kid:
how about adding files that would allow g-alarm to play streaming audio files from the web? For example, i want g-alarm to wake me up at a certain time to music from this site http://radio.gigigaga.com/FM1077. If you can somehow incorporate this, it would be awesome.

also is there a way for g-alarm to find all music within the root folder of other folders?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] holmanm:
You can already do this. Just create a new "Program Alarm" with \windows\wmplayer.exe in the Path and http://radio.gigigaga.com/FM1077 in the Arguments.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twe90kid:
thanks, great info
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] klockers:
That fix didn't work for me, tried it yesterday.

Seems like I'll go back to v 1.2.3, the latest version I tried that work well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Not sure why. Since I changed to a longer track I no longer get the problem.
