such a great app and no feedbacks yet?? °_° very weird...

btw, this proggy is really attractive, especially the power-saving feature which avoid battery-consuming ping on notifications queue... wow great!!

there's only one thing left that is preventing me from trying this app, nad elect it as my favourite one: why can't I set a different sound for each different event?? should be easy (Ithink) to implement....?

apart from this point, wow you're great!!! if it's really so unique thanks to the ping and battery-saving option, you're the man!! I'll worship you forever!! :)

cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stylez:
Thank you, testing could please have reminder time out in minutes :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Different sounds is planned in the future. I've been busy with other apps, but will get back to this soon. :-) Basically, i'll have a sound for each event, plus another sound if more than one event is active at a time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
I am assuming by "time out" you mean that you want it to cease notifying you after a while? If so, that is planned in the future. Thanks for trying it out!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stylez:
That's the one

Just to say works a treat, was using BestReminder on SP but for some reason never worked properly on PPC for me "thought it may be m2d related but gave up".

Look forward to future releases & thankyou :)

Beautiful work. A service. Neat. thanx thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
OMG! Did you know how many reminders I try before that? About eleven! No one work for my Omnia. But this small big app work nice :D take in mind that the next month I'll do a donation for you (I'm student don't spect so much).

Thank you very much! And sorry for my bad english :D

One more thing.. if you need a spanish translation, I can do it for you :)

I found one problem and this will only effect Kaiser users, to be able to use the camera to the best of abilities we have to 1. launch camera 2. Sleep. 3. wait 5 secs 4. power otherwise we have a very slow fps to which the camera is blury in low light situations.

Last night tryed for first time to use camera since install software and found on boot the screen would flicker producing light and not allowing the tweak mentioned so went through the whole hard-reset and installed everything one by one "usually use SASHIMI" anyway cut a long story short with your prog it does above, then soon as removed fine even without a soft-reset, not sure if this is due to it being a service or?

Just thought i'd let you know as really like the software just a bit of a mission to uninstall everytime i want to use camera in low light, i know it will be hard to solve this especially as not going to effect othe users as device specific.

I will continue to use and will have to work out a way of quick removal, unless you have a better idea.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
That's a very peculiar conflict. To be honest, I have no idea how ReRemind would affect that. All it does it create some callbacks for registry changes and a notification event (like dozens of other built-in apps/services do) and wait for a change. It's 100% idle due to WM blocking the thread while it waits for the event. And the callbacks don't execute until the OS directly calls them.

I don't doubt it's causing the problem, I just can't understand why or how it would. Good luck figuring it out.

You might want to try using the shortcuts included with the app to start and stop the service (in the program files folder) since uninstalling and reinstalling is a pain.

Maybe you can create a script (using like MortScript or something) that you use to stop ReRemind, launch the camera, then when the camera quits, start ReRemind.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stylez:
Thanks for getting back to me and morts a very good idea that slipped my mind, will have to ask some other users regards mort :) Hadn't thought about just disabling lol

Thanks again for great app like u said, it's peculiar.

If wasn't for HTC neglecting "not sure correct word to use?" Kaiser users wouldn't be an issue.

Update: Got it tweaked by Bupahs

Needs Mort Script installed to work:

The .mscr relies on ReRemind being installed to Device Memory

The Camera folder goes in \Program Files

The Camera App.dll goes in Windows "Provides the shortcut with Icon"

The Camera App.lnk wherever wanted in Windows\Program Files

I mapped the shortcut to HButton then Mapped to AEButton for Camera "Could just use Settings\Buttons"

Have attached files for other Kaiser users.

How about a short doc?

Hallo!

First of all, many thanks for this great tool!

I would like to know, what the settings

* Notify while device ia awake

* Wake device before playing sound

mean.

Thx.

How to disable message box on startup?

Additional question: How can I disable the message box on startup? Is there any command line parameter?

Michael
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] guebert:
Ok, I've found the answer on

http://reremind.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=25699

It's mentioned regarding V3 and not V4 ...

BTW, in my case, the initial installation did not configure the startup process as silent. So I had to create a link, edit this link on my desktop and copy it to the startup folder of my PPC. I'd suggest a separate "silent" EXE or configuration possibility through the config tool "Autostart [With message box|Silent|No]".

Michael
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
The normal behavior of the app is to NOT notify you while the device is on and you are using it. You can override this behavior by checking this option. When checked, it will chime at every interval, whether your device is on or off.

This is a work-around for those who are using older devices where the sound driver does not work in unattended mode (the low-power state that audio chimes normally occur at when the device is off -- like ActiveSync new email sound). What this workaround does is power the device to the highest power state (awake) before playing the sound. This is the behavior that Reminders and Alarms use. Only use this if you don't hear sounds or feel vibrations with this feature off as it will eat battery a bit quicker.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
I'll probably create a separate EXE for V5. thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] guebert:
Should I feel vibrations?

Michael
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tdda:
No Sound

Hello

I'm trying v4 my device wakes up but no sound.

I'm using the wav that comes with reremind and polaris wm6.1 with s2u2.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sjauquet:
Nice program who is the only one to allow reminders of all events (sms, email, tasks, missed calls and reminders)

Is there any chance to have the vibration option added soon ?

thanks a lot !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sweetpiggy:
great apps!;)

it work on Omnia I900 + W.M. 6.5 rom (ITA London Naked by stefano92_100) :D

but it need a 'silent startup' ;) .... we waiting for update:)

n.b.

it work, with 'silet' argument in startup link ;), thx to guebert ,9
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
It's notifying you on startup? Are you using V4? The installer should put a link with the silentwait option. It should read,

57#"\Program Files\ReRemind\StartReRemindSvc.exe" silentwait

Args are...

silentwait - waits ten seconds and silently starts service

silent - silently starts service immediately
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
I'm in the process of testing that as we speak. So far, so good! expect it in a few days
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trjons:
looking forward to next release
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
V5 posted

- I figure this app will always be "in development" so I'm dumping the "BETA" tags since my release schedule is so informal on this app.

- Fixed bug where sometimes the startup app that starts the service sometimes isn't "silent" on some devices.

- Fixed bug where in WM 6.5 sometimes ReRemind will chime like there's a waiting reminder after snoozing a calendar reminder alarm.

- Added ability to vibrate device in addition to playing a sound.

- You can now specify that ReRemind stops reminding after a certain number of rereminders.

- AppToDate support added
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iHD:
can it be alert according to current appointment status?

because if i am on meeting....i don't want it alert me

Hope this can be added in future version.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Any way to make it show the actual notification? So I could easily see what it was notifying about. Another idea, maybe it can(upon choosing to do so in settings maybe) just read from notification registry and use the same sound as the specific notification it is sounding for. ie: if I have email it would play the same email notification sound and I would easily know what the notification was for.

Thanks a bunch for all your work. I will also post this at codeplex so it is not missed.

-jmckeejr
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rojaa:
Would it be possible to have audio alerts even if the phone's volume is turned off?

I often need to keep my phone in silent mode at work. Vibrate is useless for me as I keep my PDA in a leather case over a leather belt and I cannot feel the vibrations. So if ReRemind could deactivate silent mode during only its remind notificaton this would be perfect for me.

Thank you for your time
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
ReRemind

Does anyone know what Vibrate index does in the options menu?

Volume control would be nice. , and a short help file to explain the options.

Had a bit of a problem with the 24 hour clock. Why can't it be a normal 12 hour clock?

So far, no problems on the htc Touch Vogue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Windows Mobile considers the vibrate function the same as turning an LED on and off. Depending on the device, sometimes the index of which LED is the "vibrate" LED might be different. If vibrate doesn't work, you can change this value to see if other values might work instead.

The 24 hour clock makes is the easiest way to determine AM/PM. The conversion is simple.

x PM = x + 12 on the 24 hour clock.

So, 2:00PM is 14:00.

Volume control will make it in a later version. I haven't researched how to do that yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tacchan23:
Hello, everything is working fine on my Omnia2, just the reminders (calendar) aren't working at all.

I'm making a new appointment trough the calendar (with the defoult winmo reminder 15mins before the appointment time) but then i got no notice from ReRemin.

Am I doing someting wrong maybe?

Also after I tried to uninstall ReRemind, on start up I get this error message: 'The file "StartReRemindSvc" cannot be opened. If the problem persist try reinstalling or restoring this file'.

After I reinstall ReRemind I don't get the error message anymore, but it comes up again every time I uninstall ReRemind.

Thanks for the help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
I'm not sure why the uninstaller is not removing the link, but what you need to do is just go into \Windows\Startup and delete the StartReRemindSvc.lnk file.

As for calendar reminders, re-remind only alarms if there is a missed reminder and only after the number of minutes you specify after the reminder first occurs (and then thereafter until you clear the alarm or the maximum number of re-reminds have passed) and (by default) only if the device is off.

EDIT: please indicate which WinMo version you are running as there is different code based on different versions and it may be the cause of the calendar reminders not working.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tacchan23:
I'm using WinMo 6.1

This is what I did exactly:

1) I set an appointment at 14:00 with reminder 15mins earlier (13:45).

2) at 13:45 the winmo reminder comes with sound+vibration+disply message

3) I kept waiting untill 14:20 and there was no reminder at all from ReRemind

Note: after setting the appointment, I did put down the ppc and not even touch it untill my test was over

My settings:

- Notify while device is awake

- Interval between notification 1min

- Stop notifying after 0 notifications (no limit)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Thanks for the info! Can you try downloading ReRemind V4 from CodePlex and let me know if it has the same issue? There's a possibility that some WM 6.5 code I put in there may be interfering with your WM 6.1 installation. Specifically, it might not be detecting your OS version correctly! Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tacchan23:
Just installed v4. It works fine with calendar appointment reminders too.

Do you think will you be able to fix the v5?

anyway next month WinMo 6.5 should be available so maybe it's not worth the effort? (couse the problem is wm6.1 right? with winmo 6.5 everything should work fine?)

Thanks for the support:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
I'll fix it in V6! I'm pretty sure I know where the problem is. No word on a timeline, but I'll try to get to it soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tacchan23:
Thanks:)

One more question, I don't even have any idea if it's actually possible^^... could you add an Option to override the System Volume settings? (an option to choose if ReRemind should sound even if system volum is zero)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Yes, it's possible. It's been asked before, so I really need to implement it. :-)

I'll have to google, but if anybody has code off-hand to get/set the volume to the system levels (I think there are 5), I'd be much appreciative. :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
V6 released - bug update

Release Notes

- The button control does not load for WM standard devices, so the config should be usable on them. (please test!)

- Fixed a bug where some pre-6.5 devices were incorrectly detected as post-6.5 devices. This could lead to alarm reminders not firing. SORRY!

Download at codeplex or via AppToDate:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0mmyr:
is there anyway to re-enforce the on screen display message for my reminders using this app? i have a bug in all the later roms i use that keeps unchecking that option in sounds & notifications
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
ReRemind does not have that capability. I doubt I could (easily) work around it either if something else keeps flipping it the other way.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Moguledyouth:
Addition

I was wondering if you were planning on having a browsing option for audio files as well as the possibility to set different sounds based on the event, so that a person would know what the missed event was by hearing it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
1. Click on the "..." button for a browser

2. Yes, that will come in a future version. This is more complicated than it seems because there are questions about how the app should behave should more than one reminder be activated at the same time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tacchan23:
First of all thanks for fixing the issue with calendar reminders not working on WM 6.1, i just tested it and it works fine now:)

Then a question, where can I find the "..." button to browse files? I can't see it at the moment.

In this new version, the Remind volume is still dependent to the System Volume, right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
The only time the "..." should disappear is if you are on a WM Standard device (no touchscreen). If you are not on a standard device and you don't see it, then there's a new bug. :-D

Yes, it's still dependent on system volume.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kensong:
Yup, I am not seeing the "..." option too on my Omnia 2 and it is a touchscreen device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Doh! I'll see if I can nail it. It's as a result of my trying to make it "standard" compatible. In that effort I seem to have broken it for Pro users. ;-D

EDIT: Found the bug. Uploading the update to CodePlex and updating AppToDate and the top post very soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
6.1 released

This bug fix is for non-QVGA devices. All it does it is add back the "..." button for folder selection.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] johnfoam:
Appreciate all your effort on this. Works great and is just what I wanted!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tacchan23:
Thanks for the new fix:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francesco_ita:
Is there a version of ReRemind or a similar program that works with Windows Mobile 5 (non touchscreen device - HTC S310)?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Try it out and let me know if it works. I don't know of any reason it wouldn't work on Wm5 standard, but it's untested. That said, the config app will require .Net Compact Framework 2.0 and even then might not work. Please try it out and let me know your findings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pfonck:
Great app! Replaced alarmPal on my Omnia and this does a far better job.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rithina:
Tried installing this great app on omnia 2 but the vibration cant seems to work. Tried setting the vibration led index to 1-5 but still it does not works. Not sure if i wanna try from 6-100...Please advise.. TIA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Not having an Omnia 2 to test with, I can't help you with this. Try asking on an Omnia 2 forum. The LED index used for vibration is something somebody else may have run into for another application. You can try 6-100 and it won't harm anything. The only side effect might be random LEDs on the device turning on instead of vibrations. :-D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tacchan23:
For Omnia2 you need to set the vibration LED to 11.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rithina:
Thanks.. it works now..

I also noticed that after I uninstall i got an error. i just got to delete that link from the \windows\startup folder. Hope that helps
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TheMelin:
Thanks, great work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francesco_ita:
I've tried to install it on wm5 standard (non touchcreen) device but it doesn't work. I've installed .NET Compact Framework 2.0 before, restart the smartphone, then launched the reremind.cab but the installation had no success. The message was (in italian) "Installazione non riuscita", that means Installation failed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tacchan23:
Edit: nervemind, solved already^^
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neely2k:
I've installed it on my HTC Touch Pro. Great program! Just one thing:

It seems to vibrate even when on "Silent".

Is there any fix for this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajhvdb:
Yes, I noticed it also. It's open source so looked at it and it's not a bug but by design :)

I mailed the developer about debugging or compiling the latest release but didn't receive an answer yet. I want to add some options (no vibration while in silent mode, add remind for alarms, etc.) but don't know if it's allowed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
I was out of town this weekend, sorry for the delay in responding.

As for silent mode, that's interesting, I never tested that. How does one detect if you are in silent mode versus just having the volume turned all the way down? If somebody can point me in the right direction, I'll be happy to fix this issue.

As for remind for alarms, I assume you mean the three alarms set in the clock settings and not calendar reminders, right? Interesting option.

Please email me your source code files when you finish and I'll incorporate the features in the main source trunk.

Thanks for the contribution!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajhvdb:
I find the cpp code harder to read then the c# code. I will try out the alarms.

About the silent/vibration mode; You could have an option to set the volume level indepently from the current level.

Don't know if it's possible to detect silent mode..

So there are 2 sections:

Sound file = ?

- Volume level (+option to "go to the maximum level after 10 runs")

- Overwrite silent mode (y/n)

Vibration ID = ?

- Overwrite silent mode (y/n)

Just thinking outloud..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] applefruit:
I've tried both the latest version and v5. The unread sms reminder works perfectly. But when I have a missed called, my phone will not goes to sleep mode. It will turn off display backlight after the preset timing but it won't goes to sleep. I had disabled wake on incoming sms so I do not have any problem with unread sms.

I'm using a HTC Touch HD with stock rom. Anyone has the same problem as me?

edit: I had just realised that my phone still goes into sleep mode after a missed call. But only after more than about 50mins instead of 1min which I've set it to.

Anyone know which file I can edit in the registry to reset the timeout period for suspend mode to be 1min? I've tried changing the setting under settings>system>power>advance but it has no effect. If I uninstall re-reminder, everything goes back to normal. But I really like this application..........

Ok, I had just find the registry file that store the suspend timeout period. It is at \\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Time out\BattSuspendTimeout. I checked and find nothing strange, it is set at 60secs which is correct. But my HD just refuse to sleep after 60secs after a missed call. When there isn't any missed call, it will goes into suspense in 60secs.........
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fielmann:
I get no reminder after a missed call (Diamond with regular rom). Any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kellicros:
I got reminder on misscalls but not sms even when it's enabled. using the latest version, any help would be great. thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mitsi:
I have the same problem. I very much like this program because it effectively provides a wake up on new email which is what I wanted. It also has a method to enable or disable this according to the time of day! Even better. :D However, if my TD2 doesn't go back to sleep, then this makes it unworkable for me :(
