Looking for an alarm clock program.
Anything good out there?
There is CT Alarm Clock Lite (free)
That's not too bad
I was using SPB Time (not free - pretty swanky bit of kit though). Now I use MortPlayer and pick a tune to wake me up. I also use it as my main mp3 player as well.
I use Citytime Alarms and have done for years on my PDA too
Sorry to dig up this old topic but I have a quick question about the alarm clock on the Vox. I have found that if i set an alarm and turn off the phone, the phone does not switch itself on and play the alarm.
Are there any 3rd party apps that will turn the phone on when an alarm is due to play?
No, no software will do that.
Basically all the WindowsMobile devices are just like PCs, if they are "off"... they won't do anything for you.
They should never be "off", Flight mode is a best choice if you want to sleep well
Thanks for the tip. Tried this the other evening and it worked a treat. Only drained the battery 4% as well so that was pretty good going I think.
Chronos by activekitten is a really good program, been using it on all my smartphones for the last 3 years or so.
Hi,
It's hard to believe, but I still haven't found a simple countdown timer that fulfills my (modest?) needs:
- counting down a specific time
- after time is over, sound an alarm
- if device is in standby when countdown is over: wake device up and sound alarm
- free (or reasonable price)
- optional 1: have more than one counter in parallel
- optional 2: specify sound volume for alarm (even if device is in vibrate mode or silent)
I tried several so far:
* SPB Time: does it all, very nice, but 15$ for such a basic functionality? I don't need all the bells and whistles...
* G-Watch: GUI is VERY slow, if in standby alarm does not sound. (There is an internal screen-off option, but then at alarm time screen stays off), only one timer
* StopTime 2.0: lot of features, but alarm time is ignored when in standby
* SimpTimers 1.01 (FannSoftware): Looks good, but while countdown is running, you can't put device into standby, which makes it unusable
Do I really have to buy SPB Time, or is there anything else?
Thanks for any help.
Try g-alarm. If you use the quick alarm it works as a countdown timer, and does everything you need.

Thanks for your reply. I tried g-alarm now, it has the same problem as g-watch: incredibly slow interface. I don't know what the developer did there, but it takes longer to load than any other tool, and opening the prefs for a specific timer takes really long, too. But at least... it works.
Hi All
I need your halp to locate application that can switch from sound to vibrate or silence only for a period of time like 30-45 min.
I need it because i forget to switch the sound back on.
I only find this software: http://www.commmgrpro.com/
Discuss it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299070
but its kind of overkill for me, I need only the sound status timer.
If you know new application that make this possible Pls help me
You might want to have an experiment with PhoneAlarm Pro http://www.pocketmax.net/. I've used this extensivly on my HTC Athena to do profile switching. Not sure if it will do an 'after 30mins' setting, but you could configure it to switch to a standard profile every 30 mins or an hour or whatever.
Not only simple wake up.

Really thanks. Welcome any feedback
questions
sorry if these are stupid questions. but I'm rather new to Android, so some things that maybe obvious to others I'll miss. luckily most of my questions are yes and no answers
1) this app does not tie into google calendars and your schedule and appoints there... right ?
2) this app will run all the time in the background unless i force close it.... right ?
2a) if 2 is yes then how much memory/CPU will it utilize ?
3) will this wake up my phone and set off the alarm if it is sleeping ?
4) does it repeat the alarm until i take action (like shutting the alarm off) or does it just run the alarm once
4a) if the alarm only runs once can u make it repeating ? i need repeating alarms! i often do not hear the alarm till i leave my bedroom
4b) is there a volume toggle for alarm tones ?
5) is there a snooze ?
TY for the App and hope u can answer my questions

Thanks for your questions
1) ZDclock does not tie into google calendars and your schedule and appoints there.
2)It needs to run all the time in the background cause it must ring on time as the system alarm clock does.Memory 7MB to 10MB(depend on the usage condition),CPU 0%;
3) It will wake up the phone even when silent mode(There is an option to choose no wake up when silent mode).
4) It will repeat the alarm until you take action (like shutting the alarm off or choosing to repeat later). You can press the silence in the pop-up page. And set the volume and ringtone in menu.
5) yes,there is a snooze.
thank you this will work wonderfully for me then
ok nice alarm system
BUT
i just ran a custom TEST alarm
ran 2 actually
First test) ran with vibrate on, the Vibrate keep repeating till i acknowledged the alarm. BUT the alarm tone only played once. because of this i thought vibrate was making the sound only played once, so did a second test
second test) Vibrate off. alarm sound only played once then nothing for around 15 min now (seeing if i waited if it would play again), looking at the screen i see the alarm went off and asking me what i want to do (IE: turn off / delay 10 min / silence / repeat tomorrow)
BUT there is nothing to silence as the buzzer only played once
so my question is how do i make it repeat ?
"4) It will repeat the alarm until you take action (like shutting the alarm off or choosing to repeat later). You can press the silence in the pop-up page. And set the volume and ringtone in menu."
Thank you again for the program and all the help u have given me
sincerely

Thanks for your enthursiasm about ZDclock
'delay 10 mins' means repeat 10 mins later. Sorry for that mistake, we will change the ring page (press to silent and then you can choose no repeat or repeat 10 mins later/30 mins later/1 hour later/3hour later)
The default ring duration is 1 minute.
The alarm tone only played once. Did you press turn off or silence in the pop-up menu? If not, it may be a bug.
Thanks for your help
Short answer is no I did not turn off or press anything in the popup menu. The alarm tone only played once even though I waited 15 minutes to make sure it was not going to play again.
Long answer:
Because this is beta software you say I may have found a bug I am going to give you more information
My current phone is the Motorola Atrix (MB860)
the steps i took to run the test alarm is as follows
in options:
select ringtone > system ringtones > Buzzer alarm
ring duration > continuous ring
in main app:
add new >
custom >
set time (set time to 3 min from now) >
repeat >
(left this alone to default) once only >
date (left alone (todays date)) >
title (test) >
Ringtone (left at default because i set it above all ready) >
no vibrate
like i said it will keep vibrating continuously BUT only play the buzzer alarm, sound once. so i have this set to no vibrate
i'll test another type of alarm and sound soon
like set a different kind of alarm and see if that fixes it
and i'll change to another sound
and get back to you
PS:
i am doing nothing on my phone when the alarm goes off. it is sitting on my home page with the active wall paper running. and nothing else and i have my phone set to never turn off screen and/or sleep.
i also forgot to mention that i also rebooted in between alarm test, to make sure there was nothing in the background interfering.

FOUND THE PROBLEM
"Continuous Ring" plays ring sound only once NOT continuously
because 3 min alarm played the sound for 3 min (well actually tuned it off after about one minute but assume it would have played 3 min)

This is a a great countdown and timer tool. Would love to see a 12-hour clock option for the widget in a future update.
Beautiful Clock widget, keep up the good work.
looks really slick! hopefully you can keep the memory usage down as it grows. will try it out tonight.
Thanks for it -- Very very good alarm.
I have been looking alarm for a long time, on the same concept, and you developed it. Thanks for it.
One minor feature will be great, if you could display day of the week with date will be wonderful.

We have recorded your advice——12-hour clock option for the widget. Really thanks for your help
Searching for this did not bring up anything useful, so I try to ask here. Hope this is the right forum.
I use the agenda alarms a lot, for everything, from "Budget meeting" to "buy milk" to "Phone Tom". But often I am far enough from my phone to miss the alarm sound, even if loud.
You know, if you then turn on the phone from standby, you find the appointment on screen, and you also have the possibility to repeat the alarm (5 minutes later I think) pressing the lower left button.
But if I do not turn on the phone because I don't need it, and don't remember that I have something to do... the appointment may be missed.
I wish to have a way to set an automatic repeat of every Agenda alarm, every 2-3 minutes, until I turn it off.
Someone knows a way, or an app ?
Thank you!
