[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
you should just let me be the bad guy here

I am used to it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deuzeff:
Ageye is not being a bad guy right now, he's defending his baby, it's natural :).

Criticism are always good but you have to know how to handle them. Most people don't get that negative feeback is the best way to improvement. However, there are 2 kinds of negative feedback, those which are constructive, and the others which are senseless, mostely respectless like writing "Sorry to sound rude, but this is overstatement." (reaging ageye's word "Finally, G-Alarm became a fast, reliable and ...").

My advise to you ageye: cool down and simply do not give credit to empty feedback, but I think you do not need someone to tell you that, do you? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
As you saw two posts above by me, we agree.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Curb71:
kinda back on topic. I use Sashimi and want to know step by step how to back up the registry or whatever it is so when I flash a new rom, Sashimi will restore my existing alarms. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] love is me:
thanks

Thanks Ageye ,

your alarm is the best alarm i have ever used in both digital or physical way.

thanks alot man

you are the guru
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sgbmad:

Thanks ageye. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dedi51:
first thanks for your program G-Alarm.

It is possible to define an application start in combination with the sound play function?

So for example it should normaly play the sound and after touch the red X icon then it schould start an application.

In the Version 1.30 it works fine, because after i had touched the red X icon S2U2 was displayed and power off my device,

but in the new Version S2U2 will close by G-Alarm.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rts123:
I'm sorry guys, I'm just being honest. I've given my feedback. Unfortunately, not positive. Perhaps in a not so polite way - I admit.

You don't really mean reporting problems is a bad thing, do you ?

"Empty feedback" (in some other post) - yes, you are right, I haven't provided the info about the crash. Last time it was "OutOfMemory exception" (which is mentioned several times as [FIXED] in changelog). There was 41% of memory used at that time. Basically no 3rd party apps running at that time. Just ActiveSync (from previous session) and std. Calendar. Maybe also Messaging (SMS).

My device setup ?

Standard ROM from HTC.

How/what should I check ?

I can see that std. WM alarm works, G-Alarm unfortunately sometimes does not (on my device).

Alarm functionality is not something I can afford to beta test.

Fortunately, now I know how to edit the std. alarm easily (and thanks to info on G-Alarm web site regarding the WM scheduling queue bug/feature it should now be reliable) so I don't need a separate alarm app.

I think everyone should just simmer down...

Different users have different needs and for me, G-alarm is a good compromise between easy manipulation and effectiveness.

I used to have pocket alarm, when the alarm rings, I can be sure that I will wake up.

The playback speed for pocketalarm is faster and thus, the alarm tone which I have choosen is kinda irritating, but effective.

The same alarm tone is choosen for G-Alarm, slower playback rate, but much more easier in manipulation on alarm toggling. To improve efficiency, I'm using another shrill alarm tone to wake me up instead.

The important thing is when any user wanna explore new software, especially true for products under developement or freeware, you need to be prepared to sacrifice something.

G-alarm is good at what is does.

Thanks ageye.

i facing a problem when i want to use chinese (singapore) as the default language then the G alarm cannot be open and prompt out an error but if i change to chinese (people republic of china) then the G alarm dont have any problem. ageye pls help me
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] airjer:
Loving all of the changes man... keep up the great work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] slumpz:
Although I followed the thread for quite a time, I now refuse to use G-Alarm for the rest of my life after hearing ageye's quote "Who do you think that you are".

Good luck others :)

G-Alarm vs. S2U2

Hi, let me say at first you have created a great program.

However, in last two versions (1.2.3 and 1.2.4) there is annoing thing happening. When alarm triggers, message "ilOCK2 & S2U2 are closing" (during it phone beeps with system message) and after that alarm starts.

I remember, that in version 1.2.1 everything was ok, but unfortunately I do not have this version anymore :(

Could this annoing behaviour be fixed? Does anyone have version 1.2.1?

Thx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sgbmad:
Here you are.

G-Alarm 1.2.1:

http://rapidshare.com/files/182370605/galarm_1.2.1.cab
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] koldaman:
Thank you for quick reply.

Looking forward to fix in next version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sgbmad:
You're welcome. I'm using 1.2.1 version too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I really love S2U2 ;-)

it's just the savest way to close all locking tools because with some configurations they really prevent G-Alarm from starting.

It never came to me that S2U2's messagebox beeps if you don't disable the beep sounds in the windows mobile settings which is kind of crap. I'll talk to a-c if there is a quiet way to close S2U2...

of course all locking tools will be restarted after an alarm
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] koldaman:
...or you can add an option to the G-Alarm to "Close locking tools before alarm". I think there are more who face this issue.

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] amir77a:
Hi,

Just discovered you app today. Thanks for it!

I have problem with it. I installed the latest version (downloaded from your website yesterday) on my HTC Diamond.

Installation & Configuration seems to be OK, but when an alarm suppose to fire, it turn on the device, and then the device get almost stuck. I cannot do anything, until I'm doing a SR. I can clearly see in the title that G-Alarm causing it.

Any advise?

Amir.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JNGold:
Doesn't S2U2 support an exception list? Wouldn't adding G-Alarm to it do the trick?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mccune:
If I'm not mistaken G-Alarm creates an exception inside S2U2 as soon as you choose to show alarms in S2U2.

Before you had to select it. It's now automated :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] love is me:
i dont know why you are picking on the G-Alarm, if you dont like it dont use it, just respect the idea of the application. This application is provided to you for free ( zero $) and you paid nothing other than trying the application, so if you think the alarm is crapy ( which i think the opposite way) then dont use it.

comparing G-Alarm to standard Alarm is way out of line and i dont think there is any way to compare both its like comparing Corolla car to Binz.

You wasted your time writing bla bla bla while you knew your compasime is not resnoable at all.

Maybe this is coming from jealousy or i dont know but i think we better stop accusing each other.

You dont like just dont use it, as simple as this. Or i have a better idea, develop your own Alarm and spend your time on developing it which should be better than G-Alarm and provide the application free of charge and then you can say you provided somthing back to compare with!

Peace
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eastmushu:
I have the same problem also, since build 1.0.0 and have since gone back to 0.9.6.3 which was the last version that worked perfectly for me.

Thank you for your great effort though ageye, we love you...

FIXED] No playback after 1st snooze

version 1.2.4

it doesn´t work on my X1 :(

sorry
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hkericng:
Good Job! please consider to make g-Invader more fancy, the idea is very good.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
no error messages at all? do you hear the sound playback? do you see anything or just the title bar? when you simply wait for 1-2 minutes does anything happen?

what are your settings? Do you use mazes/maths/tilt sensor/light sensor?

questions questions questions ;-) Maybe we can find the bad guy...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kraize:
[Request]

1. AppToDate (I request this for every app since it's a good way to get your updates out)

2. Make one be able to export and import his alarm setup :) for people like me who flash rom constantly so they don't have to go through the pain of reinstalling every alarm over and over again. Sorry! I just saw that this was on your ToDo list!

EDIT: 3. You know those cool neon highlights you have in the first post showing your manual? It would be totally awesome if the icons actually glowed like that when clicked.

Kraize
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] koldaman:
It doesnt do the trick since Exception list in S2U2 serves another think - not to start S2U2 when one of this application is running. I call for another think - NOT TO BREAK RUNNING S2U2 PROCESS.

Would appreciate this functionality in the next version.

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] expo7:
i like the neon glow too :D

i had the same idea long time ago but it dont looks good on the default skin.

maybe i make a new neon skin.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] amir77a:
Hi,

Indeed no error messages.

If I wait 1-2-3 minutes... well... nothing happens, the device just turn itself off

I am using the default settings, without changing anything, which means all is off (light sensor, tilt sensor etc.).

I was trying to set an alarm, and test it with the same result. I am getting the alarm screen (full screen) and the device respond very slowly if ever. When I made SR, I went straight to the alarm screen vibrating forever, this time with window title,no sound at all.

I suddenly think of it hey presto I never choose my favorite sound anywhere.

I configured new std alarm, and I selected in "launch program" a sound file. On the relevant time, the sound file opened within... Windows media Player. That is not what I want...

When I tested the alarm, it all got stuck again.

what is missing here?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] duniol:
Hi great app, I really love it.

I wanted to download some skins from this location http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=galarm/skins, but after I click on the link I get redirected to the main download page (I checked Firefox & IE). Anyone can help me?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jodeltje:
When I set an alarm, the volume is waaaaaaaaaaay too low.

It is set at maximum in settings, any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancj:
The 7th page of settings for an alarm lets you specify the volume - and if you have "Fade In" ticked then it'll start quiet and gradually get louder.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jodeltje:
I know, it's at 100% but I can only hear it with my ear pressed to the speaker:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chris10230:
have you set the preamp low? or try setting that high to boost the volume
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jodeltje:
then all i get is really low volume with allot of distortion?!?

it shows -1 as volume level for some reason...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bkrodgers:
I have to shake it violently and for a lot longer than 1.5 seconds. Sometimes it doesn't seem to work at all, no matter how long and how hard I shake. The way the shake mechanism worked back in some of the later .9XX version was much better for me. I'm ok with some minimum time shaking, but it seems like it currently requires way too long shaking it as well as waaaayyyyy too much vigor.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wamblej:
No alarm... program semi-frozen

I had a weird issue this morning. When the alarm went off it turned on the screen but played absolutely no sound (and the volume was on!). Then when I went to click the X in the top right to close the alarm it didn't respond. I hit the end button and it closed. I could go back into the program and set a new alarm and it would do the same thing. It wasn't until I soft reset it that it solved the problem. Any thoughts or reccomendations? I am just nervous about having it not wake me up if it does this again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dark Preacher:
Hi ageye!

Thank you for this alarm application - this is the best I've ever seen!

It worked great on my Diamond. However, on my new HTC MAX 4G it drains battery really fast, I think 10 times faster, or something like that. I'm not sure if it's been reported already..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bkrodgers:
I had a problem this morning with an alarm not going off (I think, at least). It's usually very reliable, but every now and then it just seems to not go off and skip to the next day. When my old fashioned alarm went off a minute or two later (I use it as a backup), the phone screen was powered on. But unless I just managed to turn it off (with the math option) without being at all conscious of it, the alarm simply didn't go off. I know it was set -- it's a weekday repeating alarm, and while I adjusted the time before I went to bed, I didn't change anything else from when it worked yesterday.

Is there any logging built in? I think it'd be very helpful to (optionally, perhaps) keep a log of the internal stages of generating an alarm (log the WM notification and whatever relevant stages of creating the alarm process) as well as any user interactions (when I snooze or turn it off). Particularly given that some of my "testing" of this program happens when I'm still a bit groggy and out of it, a log would be helpful even for my own sake, not to mention yours.

Great program overall though! Please let me know what I can do to help sort this issue out.

Thanks!

Weird turn-offs

Hi Ageye,

I was looking for a brand new alarm and found your app. At first I loved it: integrated with s2u2, nice, useful, everything... but it happened that I see sometimes (after alarm) winmo "forgets" the active alarm. There's no clock-sign at the title bar, neither s2u2 know about upcoming alarm while G-Alarm says there's one and will be activeted in time. When time comes alarm is not triggered. If I disable and re-enable the alarm it seems OK but soon or later it forgets again. I'm using Omnia with iFonz and s2u2. I couldn't figure out what makes winmo forget abut G's alarm. It doesn't happen with winmo's built-in alarm. Any clue? This would be the best alarm if you could solve this. Thans in advance!

French Translation - Traduction Francaise G-alarm

Hello all,

here is my contribution, a .txt file with my translation... don't know if there is any other. Seems ok to me, feel free to react!

voilà ma petite traduction de G-Alarm en français, je ne sais pas s'il y en a eu d'autre (surement!!) .. n'hésitez pas à réagir :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eastmushu:
Hi ageye,

There was no error message at all and no sound playback... Just a busy 'pie' icon turning for a while and then stopped turning, then whole phone is stuck until next soft-reset. Even after waiting 1 minute, there is no response...

I am using an X1i on stock WM6.1 rom, with all advanced settings disabled i.e. no maze, no tilt, no light, etc... Just using it for normal alarm app...

Reverting back to 0.9.6.3, no such freezing... Oh well, at least I still have my favorite alarm app albeit an older version... Old in this case seem to be gold... :D

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] buyukbang:
Same problem for me. It was the best thing that makes me a G-alarm fanatic but I cannot use shaking function anymore with my omnia :( I need v1.2.1. Could you please give me a link.

There is a second problem. I have a folder with 2500 mp3's on my omnia. when browsing this folder with G-Alarm it freezes. But my mp3 program can browse this folder easily. So I created a new folder that includes a few duplicate mp3s for using random alarm with G-Alarm.

Anyway, these problem does not change the truth: G-Alarm is the best alarm program in my opinion.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancj:
Hmmm... This morning I woke up 5 minutes after my alarm should have woken me up and my phone was still turned off. When I turned it on I got S2U2 as usual, then when I unlocked it the alarm finally started sounding.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Dan
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eazy2001x:
no current fix for this..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancj:
Damn, that's a bit of a killer! Does this problem only happen for people using S2U2 or can it happen anyway? If it makes the alarm more reliable I might consider dropping S2U2...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
you can consider dropping S2U2 anyway

(there are less bloated alternatives - although S2U2 definitely has come a long way)

Feature Request

Change up the way the menu works towards the bottom works. When you click on the icon to edit you sometimes don’t know you’re in edit because the icons just change and I sometimes don’t notice. Maybe a different color background or something. Also you took off the ability to dbl click to edit the icons. Or what about the diamond look.. See attached.. This way you can just scroll through all your settings..

Love this app! I've upgraded to v1.2.4 on my Tytn II the other day. However, with this new version just before my alarm is supposed to go off the screen comes on and beeps. Since I'm barely awake I always miss what it says so have just run a test - what's happening is I'm being notified of iLock2 & S2U2 are being closed.

The previous version I had installed (sorry I don't remember which one I had as I recently had to reset my phone) did not do this. Without having to disable my notification sounds is there a fix for this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ryon:
Feature Request

Hi Ageye!

I have been searching for a small app that will make my device to go in suspend mode (like short press on powerbutton), that could be combined with the "Launch Program Alarm" in G-Alarm.

As most of you may know the device (atleast HTC Diamond) auto wakes up at 00:00 for checking appointments ect..

And at this point, with screen on and apps running, my phone will drain battery over the night.:mad: (If I'm not awake and switch it of again)

So by setting an alarm that after 00:05 launch a small prog that makes my ppc go in suspend mode will save alot of power!

Problem is that I can't find any small suspending .exe that will do the job..

Then my request is that this would be built in to G-Alarm!

Setting an alarm that can make the device eather suspend, reboot or turn of! And option to need for confirm or not as in the normal alarms!

This would really make G-Alarm a killer app! (If not already):D

Tanx!

Playing the whole song

Great program, easy to use without stylus but have one problem,

I configured G-alarm to play two MP3 songs for the alrm and it only plays around 5-10 seconds of the MP3 file and then goes on to the next.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
Your device should switch off again by itself anyway.

You'd better find the reason it doesn't than do tricks.

Also I suggest CMP for something like that (a program everybody should have anyway).

Greek lang v2

This is my first post on these forums!

Anyway, after a lot of testing I created a Greek translation of G-Alarm fully compatible with v 1.2.4

Special care was taken so that none of the messages are trunked, and that all phrases are in a formal type of language.

Disclaimer:

I DON'T want to show ANY disrespect to the original Greek translator. I just want to share my alternative for anyone who might like it...

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ryon:
the reason

Well.. I do know the reason. I have my power settings configured so that it should never Auto turn of the device. :eek:

And that is the way I want it! (For gps logging, wifirouter ect).

I don't see my idea as a stupid trick. It is a great kind of alarm that what I know of, do not exist in any other alarmprogram.:rolleyes:

It it a function that I would like to have in G-Alarm, so lets leave it up to Ageye to decide.

See Ya
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PhantomDj:
It's my understanding that G-Alarm closes S2U2 before the alarm and when you dismiss the alarm (not during snooze) it restarts it, in order to avoid any problems with screen.

I believe that perhaps G-Alarm could deactivate windows notification sound before closing S2U2 and re-enable them as well before activating S2U2 again!...

However I don't mind the sound of the notification since I'm already sleeping ;) :P
