Not really for version 1.4.

But for the whoooole time this link was up.

And not a real number.

This is the number of "hits" on the link.

Includes failed attempts, the number really grows with multi-part downloaders (download managers) etc.

Still quite big. It is a nice program.

Today plugin

I can not call it as bug, let's say this is improvement request.

Hope it wouldn't be too hard :)

G-alarm today plugin included into SPB Diary tab doesn't fit in (if tabs are vertical) and the right end of pluggin is out of the display (it's too wide to fit in).

As the result I can not see alarm time.

P.S. I would prefer possibility to enable multiline view of today plugin if more then 1 alarm is planned.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dedi51:
i think it would be nice if theres any way to start an application after an alarm with music playback closed by the user.

currently only the Today Screen is shown after an alarm.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pOnTiTa:
i love this software, thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] emilitingo:
Is not true

hanackin

of course...but when I turn ON my htc I cant hear any alarm...why?..because GAlarm isn't running. i must run the aplication

for this reason i say: does not have an option to start (in minimized mode) at the start of windows.

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

in spanish:

lo que quiero decir es que el programa no se inicia automáticamente al iniciar windows mobile. debo ejecutarlo manualmente.

hay otros programas que se inician solos y es transparente al usuario. es eso lo que quisiera tener

Gracias

Loving this program.

What happened to the standard sound?

Can you post it here.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] w04g005:
Version 1.0.3 is working great on my polaris! found one little bug (i think):

in theme settings when you minimize the transparency it gets MORE transparent!

But maybe german translation is false!

by the way great work (as always)

greetings

one word: excellent!

Happy New Year!:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ccdc15:
I just found your program and i'm very excited about it. So let me first say thank you for all your hard work. I keep getting the following error:

Error

GAlarm.exe

NullReferenceException

at GAlarm.frmAlarm..ctor()

at GAlarm.Program.Main()

any ideas on what i'm doing wrong? Using Alltel HTC Touch running 6.1

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zefram70:
Excellent job!

I translate in italian (see attached - v1.0.3). Your message #138 and #139 are still in english. Mabye my mistake, maybe not... :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] samhds:
The new version is working fine on my omnia. Thanks. really nice interface and usability compared to the previous. however the same problem have been there since the previous versions till now. is that when i snooze the alarm, it will cause G-Alarm to hang when the snooze-time is over. For the previous version 0.97, it will freeze the whole phone. for this, it continues working with a error shown.

Hope this problem can be solved. This is a awesome software. keep up your good work! Thanks.

EDIT From previous thread:

The error is as follows

Error

An unexpected error has occured in GAlarm.exe.

Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.

Unable to perform operation

This is the problem. Hope you will look into this matter and the snooze problem will be solve in your next release. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] footswitch:
@ageye,

thank you for your comments on my suggestions and reports.

- first of all, I agree, YOU are the hero!! :cool:

- about the keyboard.. well, good luck with your friend's phone. it's not that of a big deal, given the bigger picture :)

- thank you for fixing the playlist issue

- yes, i think it would make sense to cancel the quiz used for quitting the alarm, and return to the previous stop/snooze/player screen, since there are also the 'Yes' and 'No' buttons when using a confirmation dialog box. Otherwise it won't be a confirmation, just an additional step for the given action ;)

- import/export functions will be most welcome

@expo7, brilliant quick guide, that really was my next suggestion!

You know, when I first reviewed G-Alarm, I thought some things weren't possible to do or didn't exist, when actually they do!

HAPPY NEW YEAR :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] expo7:
thx footswitch ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orlandojumpoff:
i hope you aren't saying to get rid of the quizzes all together.... cause that was one of the biggest selling points about g-alarm (it also set it apart from all the other alarm programs). G-alarm is the best thing since sliced bread for heavy sleepers because of the maze and calculations screen.

ageye,

is the maze ball jerky on your phone? every couple seonds it seems to skip forward when im trying to navigate through the maze...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ys222:
Just great !!!

it seems that after all there are angels in this world .....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] _Fly_:
Hi,

Here is the translation for Portuguese of your last version.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orlandojumpoff:
ageye,

great update and new looking alarm...

I have a request... as someone stated in the other thread, it's kind of unnecessary to have the mazes and calculations screen come up before you're able to snooze. I liked the added feature of having to confirm the stop of the alarm with a quiz, but it's only limited to one quiz. If you could possibly either give an option to ask quizzes after first snooze, second snooze, etc... or maybe give the option to add more quizzes to confirmation of closing.. that would make the alarm much better in my opinion...

because after all, when we want to snooze.. we don't want to be awakened... but for close, i definitely want to be awakened by having to do quizzes. Please consider making options for something like this, thanks again for the great updates.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TrYde:
Not sure if it has been reported yet, but i have a bug with my hardware keyboard on the Kaiser. Whenever i press a key, it takes the focus off the text field (to edit the name of the alarm), so i can only type one letter, then i have to refocus, and so on.

The mazes are much smoother, i love it ! Awesome work done here !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptarmagon:
Great program ageye! I appreceiate all the hard work gone into it so far.

Just a couple of small things with V1.0.3

1) On my HTC Trinity (WM5) the Today screen overwrites all the alarm names so they all appear on top of each other.

2) Could you put a black border or something around the 'alarm enabled' bell icon on the today screen so those of us with white today screen backgrounds can see it. (I have looked for it in the skinning images without success).

3) On the today screen it would be very useful to display the day (i.e. Tue or today) with the time of the next alarm.

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deuzeff:
I second this behaviour.

For 1 I had a similar issue, it seems to be a refresh problem. Try typing in the middle of the today plugin to browe the alarms, should solve the problem.

For 3, you see the days when you use the two-line version of the plugin (go to Settings > Today, click on the G-Alarm line, then Option, tick the option "2 lines".
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] billyJ:
polish translation
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptarmagon:
Thanks for your help deuzeff.

I tried tapping in the centre of the alarm line - This refreshes the screen and the first alarm is displayed then about 1 second later the next alarm is written on the top of it.

Clicking the left side of the alarm allows editing. Clicking the right side enables/disables.

The two line version of the Today screen shows ALL the times when an alarm will trigger not the NEXT time it will trigger. This is a valid and useful option (if you have the space)Showing the next alarm to trigger (on the top line) gives the user added "at a glance" confidence that the alarm he/she thinks will go off next is indeed the same one that the program thinks will go off. (i.e. may help prevent miss-setting of alarms)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] addicus:
Okay this is a cool program. My question is how do you delete an alarm you no longer want?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] [germany]merlot:
Hi ageye.

First I'd like to commend you and Expo7 for your great work. Version 1.0 is really exellent. But I've one problem, an old problem, my device won't wake up from standby when S2U2 is locking it. G-Alarm is set as exception and all settings are like before with 0.9.8.3. It's since I've updated to 1.0 and 1.0.3 isn't better. I've uninstalled G-Alarm, deleted all the files in \Program files\ and registry and installed it again but without success. Now I'm using 0.9.8.3 again till you have a solution for this issue.

Thank in advance.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I'll read through this when I have more time, but do you know if he plans on working it out with SPB Shell as well? That would be sweet for us Shell users!! :D (I've been trying it with reg changes, but nothing yet)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I don't understand what the problem is...

I don't use SPB Shell. You have to provide me some info what SPB Shell needs to communicate with G-Alarm or you contact the developer of the shell to include better support for non-SPB-alarms like G-Alarm...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
no you are wrong

this is not your problem, you DO NOT have to start G-Alarm

your problem is different, look for it (it's not what you think)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deuzeff:
This does not make sense. An alarm which has been programmed, either by G-Alarm or by the standard Windows Mobile interface is stored within the registry and managed by background .exe. G-Alarm, that you by yourself open via the today plugin or the programs in the start menu, is nothing more than a configuration .exe.

You may have some kind of problems with your device, imho !

EDIT: damn, beaten not by one post, but 2 :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] emilitingo:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Sorry about that ageye...that question was in reference to hanackin's post about the app developed by svenso called SSMaPa!!

YOU have already done more than enough, and will be getting a donation from me on payday!!

(Actually ...it is looking so polished lately I am begining to wonder when your going to go commercial and sell this fantastic app!!!!)

P.S. I am installing the newest version now, but did you see my reply about that full-screen thing? I think it is more my devices' habits that G-Alaem itself!!

Also....I am reading the online manual now, but (if it doesn't cover it) is there a good description of the exact capabilities of flight more in G-Alarm?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] peterbonge:
Regarding the windows alarm bug: Can it be that GA sets these values (back) to 60 if it gets uninstalled?

Some time ago I've set these values manually to 120 and the last few updates all was fine. The option was checked and the program didn't mentioned the bug. But now with v1.4 the program mentioned the bug again and the option was unchecked. I checked the values and both were 60.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
what values?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Parg:
Wow.

ageye, this is awesome! The 1.4 is so fast and finally the first "new" version that works well on my Touch HD. Thanks. You'll receive a new donation tomorrow.

good night :-D

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eastmushu:
This is now close to the stability of 0.9.6.3... No delays whatsoever...

However it seems to have some problem with throttlelock now or rather produces an unwanted side effect when used in conjunction with throttlelock... When the stop button is pressed, g-alarm will close and the top taskbar is missing now... The phone becomes not unusable as there's no start button and close button...

Not sure if it's throttlelock or it's g-alarm as disabling throttlelock will not have this problem... It should be noted also that 0.9.6.3 does not have this 'bug'...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bbeckman:
Next alarm

Just a quick feature request. How about an option to show only the next alarm on the today plugin? The option for a one time skip of the next pending alarm would be helpful addition as well. Thanks again for such a great program. I look forward to each and every update. It just keeps getting better and better.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] therpham:
I'm having a problem with the last few versions of this program on my Kaiser. When I first installed it (version 1.2.1), everything was fine. However, after I installed 1.2.4, I lost the ability to hold down the Snooze button and choose a snooze time. I know it worked on 1.2.1 because I used it several times. I updated to 1.4 today hoping it would fix the problem, but it hasn't. No matter what I choose from the list of snooze times, it always snoozes for the predefined snooze time set for the alarm. This is a little bothersome when the alarm has a 10-minute snooze but I really want to snooze for 15 :)

Anyway, I thought I would report this since nobody else has. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, and making new alarms with different snooze times, but it will never snooze any amount other than the amount set in the alarm's options.

Oh, I forgot to mention: I love your program and style! Keep up the good work.

Today plugin rule is weird

i have three alarm setting

one is at 10:30 pm everyday

one is at 6:00 am every workday

one is at 9:00 am weekend

When I click today plugin to view and switch every alarm setting. When I tap 1 time, it shows 6:00 am. I tap once again, it shows 10:30 pm and sudden jump to 9:00 am automatically.

I don't know the rule of how g alarm show alarm in today plugin.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 3dot:
Strange, I remember when I first install galarm, it has gestures feature.

Now it is missing, i hard reset my device, I still can't activate it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JueLue:
I am not alone!! :):rolleyes::rolleyes::)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mille:
I would like to have the option to stop the alarm with a big button.. i don't need any snooze-function.. i only want a big STOP-button (instead of snooze) when the alarm rings.. how can I realize that???

Just changing the place of the icon Stop (the red x) and the big snooze-button would be sufficient.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
one big stop button contradicts the whole point of a morning alarm, doesn't it?

I propose the a version of Klaxon (also in this forum), where the stop button is the same as the snooze (bad design but maybe useful to you) - or you can make a skin I suppose
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mille:
I just needed one song for waking up.. no usage for sleeping longer with snooze ;)

before g-alarm i was using klaxon.. it was really good, but in an other thread you are advertised g-alarm so much so i switched :D

When creating a skin is it possible to rearrange the icons to any positon??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] expo7:
oh NLS hard words :(

You have only gesture at the main screen (look at the quick user guide)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deuzeff:
Maybe ageye can add an option in the settings, so that one can choose whether the "snooze" button shall snooze or close completely the program.

But honestly I think that even if you do not need the snooze function, closing the alarm with the red X at the top right not huge deal, imho :).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mille:
yes, you're right.. maybe when i'm very tired the nice and big stars on the snooze-button can mislead me to push it :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
I know I am a little harsh, but I remember I asked for a small stop button and a large snooze button (which is the normal thing to have) at least three times, plus I remember two more people asking for this.

Isn't a huge stop button, right next to a snooze button, bad design? (ok: for the mean user) I kept clicking it.

In the end I resized the stop button graphic myself - but still I couldn't change the position. It was attached to snooze.

Then program started not working all the time, add that it never worked ok witn my TF3D... so, yes I am a little harsh. Yet I hail to all development attempts. Not every attempt is a success.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
If you are tired, then you are not fully awake. Then indeed the snooze button is what you need, not stop. :p

If you are fully awake, the X is not hard to click. It's like a little test that you ARE awake. That's the whole point.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] expo7:
koush changed 50 % of my design and this make me sick. i dont want talk about koush ..... ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mille:
okay, i think i must reconsider my sleeping habits when using g-alarm :D

the main problem is that its easier pushing snooze than get up.. but thats my problem, not a bug of g-alarm :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sgbmad:
Great update Ageye :D

I've modified registry with "Debug=False" but still debug files "XXXXXXX_GAlarmDebug.txt" are created. :confused:

Regards.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
Sorry to say brother, but you missed the discussion. It's not G-Alarm, it's Klaxon (and you). :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Zjoske:
I have a little problem with version 1.4

When the alarm is started, I get a pop-up where I have to confirm that the application GAlarmWakeup.exe comes from a trusted source. Then about a minute later the alarm kicks in and I get an error "can't execute Windows\GAlarmWakeup.exe".

Everything works, but the error messages are annoying. And I'm kinda waiting for something to go wrong...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
you probably need SDKCerts.cab
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeb5000:
"The specified date is in the past!"

Very nice software. Using v1.4 on verizon xv6900

Keep getting an error message "The specified date is in the past!"

Only happens when I try to set a time within the same hour as current time. If it is 2:05pm and I try to set an alarm that falls before 3pm I get the error. Can set the alarm time to 3pm + and then edit back to the time I want. Ex: It is 2:05pm and want an alarm at 2:30pm so I set the alarm for 3:30pm, accept it, then edit it back to 2:30pm with no problem.

No big problem now that I know how to handle it. Have done a soft reset etc.

Will have to make a donation when I get paid since I'm using G-Alarm constantly.

Thank you :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Zjoske:
That worked for me, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Zjoske:
I have that as well. Usually set it to one day later, then edit it back to the correct day and it works... But a bit of a hassle indeed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rockyjay:
alarm not always going off

I noticed today that couple of my alarms did not go off with the new update. the first one woke me fine, even snoozed well. One alarm never went off, and the 2nd went off after I pressed the power button, to turn on the screen. I am using the newest version of G-alarm and S2U2 on a Sprint stock rom 6.1 Touch. I noticed that the S2U2 screen updated the time when I turned it on. I'm sure this has something to do with why the alarm did not go off on time, because as soon as the time was corrected, it went off.

Love the program, its just kind of frustrating when the alarms are missed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] laser21:
Hi, thanks for the new version, start is really quicker, but why the splash screen? Is there a way to disable it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hanackin:
hi!

read the userguide on the first post and you will find the answer ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eastmushu:
I cannot be sure but I think g-alarm has been draining my battery. I noticed it a maybe since last week when I started testing version 1.2.4 to see if it is working correctly for me and the battery seemed to have gone down by 10% when I'm done testing.

This morning my phone was drained of it's battery. Will check again with all today plugins disabled and report... :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wcchooi:
G-Alarm 1.4

---

Registry, Debug = False

The log file is still generated when the alarm rings.

Its ignoring the flag to stop generating the files.

I have soft-reset the device once I changed the registry.

Confirmed its changed as well after the soft-reset.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
I think the splash screen is a trick to hide the loading time.

Why does it bother you so much?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
damn ;-)

ok, will fix that in v1.4.1

strange though. it shouldn't do that (of course)

S2U2 may be the bad guy. Can you please check your settings according to this manual entry:

http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=galarm/manual/limitations#S2U2

g-alarm can't drain the battery. let me explain.

There are 3 parts:

1. the today plugin -> it runs all the time but only updates itself, when it receives the command from windows mobile to update the today plugins. it doesn't update itself every second like other today plugins do. it only redraws when you opened a program and went back to the today screen (this is the normal behaviour of every today screen plugin)

2. the main program: since some versions you can leave G-Alarm running in the back to reduce the loading time by minimizing it. When G-Alarm gets minimized it stops all activities. If your phone is powered off, G-Alarm is also powered off

3. the alarm screen: it's only executed when an alarm goes off. then it may consume more power because of accessing and using the sensors and of the heavy drawing of the mazes. but the screen isn't running in the background when there is no alarm!

Please check the other applications that really run all the time. Sometimes it may also be Windows Mobile or whatever...

sorry, will fix that in v1.4.1

Indeed I could speed up the loading time (about 1-2 seconds) but I agree that the splash screen is also important for the psychology ;-)

Currently there is now way to turn it off. Why would you want to do so? It doesn't increase the loading time.
