Hello,

First, congratulation for your great work !

But i've noticed a thing that i consider as a bug :

When you choose to add a ponctual alarm, the date keeps its old value. So by default, it is not possible to set an alarm for the current day. It would be nice to set the default date on the current date or on the next day if the hour is less than the current one.

The second point is more a feature request. I think that the way you've implemented the alarm sound is not as good as the rest of your application. What do you think about that :

You would keep the same way to add sound to your sound list. But you could add checkbox near the sound and a "play" button. So, by this way, user could add all sound he want to use as alarm ... and chooses one (or more) by checking what he wants for the alarm he adds. The "play" button is just a preview button to avoid to use other program just to hear the alarm.

On the first panel, you've already implemented a king of "checked list" with a button (to list all alarms), You should use something like that for the sound selection ... Moreover you would get a GUI with a more "coherant" look (if you understand what i mean)

But, it is just an idea ...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] n_dex:
Please find my 20090121_GAlarmDebug.txt attached to this post. The alarm was intend to go off at 5:30am. My device started and I saw the screen, but no sound appeared and I wasn't able to hit the red cross. So I switched the device off. I could acknowledge the alarm when I switched the device on, later.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancj:
Sorry, yeah I forgot to say it was set for 7:00.

It definitely went off 4 minutes late - my wife would have kicked me otherwise.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deuzeff:
Could it be that loading the MP3 simply takes time (huge playlist, heavy MP3, phone already quite full thus a bit slow...) ? Just few ideas :).

Little bug

Hi

found today that when i used the long press on the snooze button and chose snooze for 10 mins it was just ignored and the snooze just contined on the predefined route of between 1 and 5 mins.

part from this dont have any problems!! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Curb71:
I dont have a regexport.ini file in my Storage Card\SASHIMI\Program\INI. I dont understand what you mean by putting the entry in. Type [G-Alarm]

RegExportDirMode=Auto

key1=HKCU\Software\ageye\G-Alarm on a .txt file and make a folder called regeport.ini and put the txt file in there? I know that cant be right but this registry stuff is still over my head.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dkarr:
1.4.1 still freezes on fired alarm on XV6700, and is even worse

If it matters, I just tested 1.4.1 on my XV6700 (WM5), and it still does nothing useful when the alarm fires. It brings up the display of the alarm, but it doesn't play the sound file, and the device is completely unresponsive at this point. I have to do a reset.

In fact, the behavior is now worse. As soon as the phone finishes executing the software reset, G-Alarm takes over and displays the alarm page again. Fortunately, some additional problem with G-Alarm has made it so that this is not an infinite loop. When I reset again, on startup it displayed "Notification Error" dialogs, saying "Cannot execute \Windows\GAlarm\Wakeup.exe". It did this twice. The first one that showed up was for a different GAlarm executable, but it went away before I could note exactly what the path was.

At that point I was able to uninstall the application successfully.

I guess I'm not going to bother with this until I specifically hear these issues are addressed. You had said a few days ago you wanted to send me a test version, but I never heard anything else past that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gbm85:
I have a feature idea.

My G-Alarm is set to give me 7 puzzles to make sure I am actually awake. This gets kind of annoying for my wife who has to listen to my alarm going off while I solve the puzzles. Would you be willing to add a feature to fade out the alarm volume when I pick up the phone (G-sensor)? Then turn the volume back up if I put it down without solving the puzzles? I think it would be a useful feature for many.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
Yes you definitely have a point there...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancj:
Nope - My playlist is a single MP3 that's less than a second long.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancj:
Create a text file and rename it to regexport.ini. Then open it up in Notepad and put in the text:

[G-Alarm]

RegExportDirMode=Auto

key1=HKCU\Software\ageye\G-Alarm

Then put that file in Storage Card\SASHIMI\Program\INI.

Then you're ready to do the custom registry export in Sashimi. This will create a file called G-Alarm.reg in \Storage Card\SASHIMI\Auto\REG which will automatically be run when you run the Auto phase of Sashimi after a hard reset.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] strifej:
Wow, I just did a search for the word 'sort' in this thread and only 2 posts came up..

Anyways, can an option be added so that all the alarms can be kept in sorted order? 12:00am -> 11:59pm ?

I usually have 6-8 alarms set (I wake up at different times each day), and they're in random order at the moment.

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for a great app. Sorry if this have been asked before. Does it possible in some how to make G-alarm the standard clock ap? Would be nice if i could start this app instead of the WM one from my homescreen, TF3D. I have a HTC HD

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chas123:
I have been trying to do this as well (see post #468). I can get that to work with Klaxon, but G-Alarm crashes. I would definately prefer to use G-Alarm. The patcher linked to above works with tf3d, but if you are using anything else, \Windows\clock.exe has to be replaced (which is how I got Klaxon to work).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Doktor M@buse:
Hi there. Very nice app!

I've changed the registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ageye\G-Alarm

@Debug = False

but the application still writes debug files to my root directory.

Is there any possibility to prevent this?

TIA
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] barbapappa_86:
Works great! Ty. But not with G-Alarm :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hanackin:
of course it is working dude! ;)

I'm using it ! :D

I am using it with gAlarm without any problems on Touch HD. TF3D even shows gAlarm alarms..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lmarques:
i'm kinda frustraded with galarm. It's pretty, skin-able,interface is intuitive and ok but sometimes alarms are missed..

Happened to me 4 or 5 times (one using last 1.4 version), and this software misses the whole purpose of for example kick people off the bed to go to work.

I really think that the author should focus on improve gAlarm stability and reliability instead off adding more features,more fancy graphics.

And please don't forget the whole purpose of an alarm!

The application is great...when it works!

Thanks for your job.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I already said that a few times: if g-alarm doesn't go off, please attach your debug log files and tell me when it should have gone off.

it also helps if you tell me the alarm settings you use. it doesn't help me at all if you don't describe your environment...

g-alarm works on my device (of course! otherwise I wouldn't publish it)

you are right: I made a lot of changes for "fancyness" and loading speed and it really makes me sick if G-Alarm doesn't go off on some devices... I really want to provide a reliable alarm for everyone but I just can't guess your settings/log files...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LordDeath:
Every night before I go to sleep I open SKTools' Notification Queue and check, if the next mornings alarm is set correctly. I did this always with the default Windows Mobile alarm and now I am doing this with G-Alarm. Otherwise I would not rely on any Pocket PC. :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] amnya:
G-Alarm + TouchLockPro = Barely Reliable G-Alarm?

Hi guys, i love g-alarm, but it doesn't work on my device. i THINK after i installing TouchLockPro. For me both G-Alarm and TouchLockPro are mandatory applications, but they simply do not work together :S.

Is there any fix for this thing?

Symptoms:

Alarm doesn't ever wake me up. BUT sometimes, when i wake up "LATE" i find my mobile screen stuck on G-Alarm mathematical question no sound, and other times the whole mobile is just frozen. Any ideas?

From TouchLockPro or G-Alarm geeks? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancj:
Hi - my alart went of four minutes late again this morning. I've attached the log file again.

FYI, my options are:

Skin: Default

Language: English

Tilt sensor: Off (n/a as I have a Kaiser)

Light Sensor: Off (as above)

Advanced options: All on

And for the alarm itself:

Time 7:00 am, Monday to Friday

Playlist - just has Quietest.wav which came in my rom as far as I can tell.

Pause between files: 0

Random Order: Off

Snooze mode: Normal mode

Snooze time: 3

Show mazes, Calculation task and Ask a quiz befor the first snooze only: all off

Numver of quiz: 1

Confirmations: both off

Force volume: on

Pre-amp: 100

Fade in: on - 30 seconds

Vibrate: off

Auto snooze after x seconds: 0 (meaning off)

Repeat alarm x times: 0 (no limit)

Close alarm after x min: 5

Thinking about it though I've just upped this option to 15 minutes as I guess it's possible that this problem of the alarm going of late could mean it never goes off at all if it goes over the time specified here.

I hope that's some help.

No restore of system volume after wake-up

I wakeup with nice music at low volume (forced to level 15), preamplifier untouched (50%).

The only thing is, after pressing alarm off, the system volume doesn't return to its initial (nearly maximum) state. It just stays at the low volume level (15).

( I use version 1.4.1 on a HTC Touch Elfin with Touch Essentials ROM 3.5)

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] evansguy:
Date for one-off alarm

When creating a one-off alarm the date defaults to whatever the last date a one-off alarm was set. This is usually in the past - and hence always has to be changed.

Previously, the one-off alarm would set the date to be the next day.

Could this old behaviour please be restored?

Thanks,

Guy

Hi People,

If you are experiencing problems with G-Alarm, please post the debug log file so that the author can fix it for you.

I am sure the author can't mind read your device problems as each device is unique in it's own way.

If you cannot follow the simple instruction, we can always request for the mods to remove all replies with problems without attached log file.

Would you wanna be treated as adult or a child who has the inability to follow simple instruction?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tego:
Couldn't the fade-in be the reason? Try to set it to 0. Maybe you miss the first alarm just because it's too quiet due to some bug and you sleep until the first snooze wakes you up :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancj:
It shouldn't be the problem. It's set to reach full volume in 30 seconds.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wunschkind:
hi,

and thank you for the great program. i have a problem using it with pocketshield (using newest g-alarm and newest pocketshield). when g-alarm wakes up my touch hd from standby to start an alarm i can see the windows mobile taskabr in front of the g-alarm screen so i can only see a small part of the red X which should stop the alarm. could someone help me?

thank you very much

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
does anyone know of an app or mortscript that will activated galarm when pressing on the clock in the home tab of touchflo2d?

great app btw ageye.. best alarm clock app BY FAR!

excellent!

thanks man :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Curb71:
AWESOME! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Now I flash a new ROM and all my alarms are already there! Cant believe someone could actually explain it and make it work. Wish I knew how you figured that out so I could backup other registry settings. but thats another topic. Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Curb71:
really how?

this program keeps getting better and better. lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
well i tried with that app.. but it wouldnt work!

maybe i have the wrong version of m2d installed :p

How can the debug files be disabled ? Those files are filling up the main directory of my device :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nuuttinaattori:
Sorry, I didn't read thru 55 pages of discussion... :rolleyes: Is it possible to have the next alarm visible below the clock on home page like with the standard alarm clock? Now it say's "Alarm Off" althought the is an upcoming alarm in G-alarm. This is the only lack I've found.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancj:
There's a full tutorial somewhere, but basically you need to use PHM Regedit to backup the registry (in "Regedit 5" format). Then make the program tweaks (or register the app) and then backup the registry again. Then you can copy the two backups to your PC and compare them with Winmerge. There'll be a load of changes that are nothing to do with what you've done, but you can often work out which ones are the relevant ones.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancj:
Try going into settings and choosing "Show in TF2d, TF3D and others"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nuuttinaattori:
Thanks! Stupid me - didn't notice that setting... It required also setting the alarm off and again on to became visible in TF3D.

New version released: v1.4.2

I recommend to use this new version! I could fix a lot of minor and major bugs...

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

Download: http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=download

Although I couldn't fix every bug and include every feature you have suggested (I'm pretty busy these days again), I could fix a lot of problems and really recommend you using v1.4.2!

Thank you! If you encounter problems, post them here... I read all of your posts (You don't have to post them twice! This topic is about 1 month old and has already 55 pages...)

If you still have problems (especially with alarms not going off or problems with the music playback), please don't forget to attach your GAlarmDebug.txt

I don't know if it has been suggested till now, but it would be great if one could swipe to navigate between the alarm settings screens.

I've been using G-Alarm since 0.7 (i think)

and its the best Alarm out there, it had some bug issues early in the game, but the latest stuff has been awesome !! stable, at least for me.

Ive had it on my HTC Touch (Vogue) and now on my HTC Diamond

thx ageye !!!

Just tested G-Alarm ón my X1 Xperia

I have a lot of problems with the key-lock when the phone comes out of the sleep mode...

Then i have the alarm and can not do anything! When I abort the G-Alarm by pressing the red button i get to the "desktop" but my menue is gone and I`m not able to get it back

I have to reboot my phone!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nezz:
I have a very annoying problem since I updated to 1.4.2:

GESTURES

I can't even call it sensitive because it's a lot worser!

Exaple situation: First alarm setup

Creating new alarm... OK

Setting alarm time to 19:30... 2 tab changes (using a stylus and pressing +), WOOT

Going next tab using right arrow... OK

Opening dropdown menu... Tab jump to the 5th tab

Repeating it... OK

Checking Everyday... Tab jump to 3 last tab

Repeating it... OK

Next tab using right arrow... Changes to first tab

Setting playlist... OK

Changing to 4th tab... OK

Selecting title so I can delete it in a single button press... Tab jump to first tab

Etc etc etc.... What is this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] atoz350:
The only issue I've had is when snoozing the alarm, it works fine. When the second alarm sounds, it only vibrates, and I get an error of the screen. It then gets stuck on that screen and I have to reboot.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Imunalia:
Playback after 1st Snooze

Firstly I love your program, many thank yous.

But it seems that a persistant bug is still hanging around, when the alarm first goes off I shake the phone (Gives me GREAT joy I hate mornings) the alarm goes silent for a moment and then immediatly goes off again but this time no amount of shaking it will silence the thing.

I have a touch pro running on the Telus Network, and everything else with the alarm works perfectly aside from it sounding the alarm after snoozing it once.

UPDATE:

Placing 2 songs in the playlist prevents it from immediatly going off again :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cloudedhopes:
download link is still 1.4.1:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancj:
It wasn't when I downloaded it last night.

Ageye - I installed the 1.4.2 last night and the phone went off 4 minutes late again. This time when I hit the stop button the alarm stopped, but my phone hung and I had to do a soft-reset.

I've attached the file. Yes I have got a very short sound file :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
so you tried and it didn't work?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cloudedhopes:
that's strange - when i go to http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=download and click on Download "here" - it starts downloading galarm_1.4.1.cab :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NLS:
refresh your cache with ctrl-F5, or just clear it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancj:
The swiping doesn't work for me. I'd assumed it only worked on the front page - which you only need if you have loads of alarms.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I installed the latest version (1.4.2) on my Omnia, and no bug so far!!!

P.S. anyone having the issue where the top system bar covers the 'X' to stop the alarm (mine does it occasionally, but I think it is a device thing, not a bug in G-Alarm) I find that if you download + install a skin (dark diamond works for me) the larger stop button pretty much makes this issue a moot point!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BulldozerPT:
Great software. Unfortunately it has some bugs.

After I cancel the alarm and windows enters standby mode, when I press power button to awake system it freezes (I have to soft-reset).

System specs:

- P3600

- Latest Chanvi93 ROM (WM 6.1)

Hopefully, these are minor bugs easily fixed :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chas123:
Is anyone else getting the "specified date is in the past" message when trying to set a singular alarm?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] amnya:
Totally agree, great app and potential, but has majob bugs, hope they are easily fixed, but they are major, i used to get up late to work since it used to NOT ALARM ME but instead freeze the phone.

For now, i am using "Klaxon" which is absolutely amazing in working like a reliable alarm clock :)

Cheers :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] XavierGr:
In version 1.4 I have the following bug. With no alarms at all (not even inactive) if you tap and hold the area in the today plug-in, that brings the quick set alarm screen, it will crash with an error.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jasonkx:
i got a very big problem!

With my omnia the tilt sensor doesnt work anymore with 1.4.2

i got a Omnia with Rom DXA2

With HTCEMU.dll files all ok

with 1.4.1 was everything fine with 1.4.2 i got this problem....

just reportin!

I love this program! Saved me many times and I use it every morning now! I donated a last week - I know it's very little, but I just wanted to say thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] algorhythm:
I have been trying to use this app for a couple of days but it seems to work intermittenly. Sometimes it will ring the alarm on time, sometimes it will be 20 minutes off, and one time it was 45 minutes off.

What gives? The phone (Sprint Touch Pro on stock rom) was plugged in to the wall, and no apps were running.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Keyone:
This morning was the first time I used it on my TP (got it a few days ago). It worked on time, but it did freeze. I'm not sure if it was a one-time thing or what, but I did have 2 alarms set up at 6:30am and then again at 7:00am. Not sure if that interferes with each other and blows up.

Maybe this could be looked at (what happens when alarms overlap when the first one isn't turned off before the second one goes off)?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bugzy:
you guys all using gestures? I never enabled those features, maybe thats why its working fine for me?

try turning off some of those features and see if still has bugs
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chas123:
Weird thing is that you can set it for a day ahead, then go back and edit it for the correct day, and it will work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] algorhythm:
What do you mean by gestures?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
well, I post here again in this topic although nobody listens to me...

it's really frustrating. I have to work like every other one and code G-Alarm in my spare time. I'm not a company which can buy tons of devices and test it on everyone and with every configuration. I need your logs.

Sorry but it's useless to post "my phone freezes" without attaching the logs.

maybe someone reads this message. we got over 55 pages now again in a 1 month old topic and I gues that 45 pages are just useless for the development :-(
