I have the core 2.0n rom and just found out that spb time doesn't work well with wm6, so the alarms don't work (it wakes up, shows the correct display but no sound). Is there a patch/workaround? if not, can someone tell me of some alarm utility that wakes up the pda from standby, allows to set multiple alarms and make them go off just on selected days (basically something that can replace spb time)?

Hi there, I've set my alarm to repeat sound, but it only ring once. In wm5, it keeps ringing until I stop it. This happens in all the wm6 roms that I've tried. Is this is wm6 *feature? How can I make it ring atleast for 30sec or until I stop or snooze it without using a 30sec wav file?
or should I install a simple 3rd party alarm app.
thanks
use pocket wakeup ..never failed me yet only thing i dont like is its 24hr instead of 12hr
When I set up a reminder, my WM6 phone beeps for few secs. But if I am not near the phone at that moment, I might miss that reminder and I don't get to know about it until I look at the phone. Is there any way for the phone to ring an alarm every 15 mins or so when there is an active reminder that needs to be snoozed or dismissed?
try phone alarm. It works well for me, there is a free demo to try too.
And if you are not interested in the overheads of PhoneAlarm try AlarmPal from the same publisher as PhoneAlarm
Atleast on my phone, with WM6, when I have an alarm go off, such as an appointment, or an email, I'll get the reminder tone like every 1 or 2 minutes. What phone/ROM are you using?
Hrmm, not sure if this is the right place..but
Can you add more alarms to the windows alarms? I looked in the registry and saw there were keys for alarms 0-2 so i tried adding a 3'd key copying all the values to see if that would add another one...
I'd prefer not to have to pay for something the phone does already and seems to be easily improved upon, the only thing i dislike is you turn the volume down the alarm volume is affected...crazy micrsoft programmers!
try SPB TIME.
i really their alarm, even if u set your phone to virbate, the alarm still rings! dont quote me on it, it works on me sometime since i havnt fully test it. haha
Hrmm, well i had a go of SPB Time, but i have to say i find its a bit much, and its just not simple enough for what i wanted...
on a simular note, Does anyone know how the alarm feature works? does it just call up a file to run when the alarm runs?
I want to understand why at a certain time the alarm sounds, I realise this proberbly sounds silly, but i'm not quite sure how it works, as far as i can tell there isn't an alarm program constantly running.
basically I was wondering, if the alarm noticiation thing is just an exe running to sound the alarm, could i just put a dummy alarm in to change the volume to max just before the alarm sounds so i don't have to worry about putting it on silent?
Hello,
is there a program, that can enable or disable the ringer/speaker automatically?
Example: I want, that the telephone doesn't make a sound between 22 o'clock in the evening and 7 o'clock in the morning.
Thanks!

MortPlayer
MortPlayer for the PocketPC is one program that can turn the volume back on using alarm, so you can silence the phone entirely and it will then turn back on when an alarm goes off, if that option is chosen in settings.
Spb Phone Suite
has a Today plug-in that will allow you to set up rules for how your phone behaves that can be time based, or triggered by events in Outlook calendar. You can set it to turn your BT or WiFi on or off automatically, as well as setting the ring. Not free, but very useful.
phoneAlarm can do this, and a lot more...but not freeware.
Thanks! I'll give it a look.

I'd like to configure alarms so that regardless of the system sound settings they still vibrate.
The built in "Clocks and Alarms" app only supports vibration when the system is not on Silent.
I've experimented with Pocket Alarm but couldn't get the desired outcome.
GAlarm was problematic because of some issues I had with the auto-rotation of my device and the graphics in Galarm getting subsequently messed up.
Is there a clock alarm out there capable of meeting this simple request?
for my suggestion:
1/ the room has some errors ==> upgrade another one
2/ check again all settings in Sound & Notification
The ROM has no errors. I am not the first person to complain about this behaviour of WM. It's the standard behaviour.
Sounds and Notifications has no setting that can control this. I don't want to turn off sound on all reminders.
I need to be able to set specific alarms to only vibrate regardless of the system sound settings.
here's a No Sound wav file... assign it as your alarm tone.
I already have a silent file on my machine which I use for startup and shutdown.
This is not the solution.
I don't want to turn off sound on all reminders.
I need to be able to set specific alarms to only vibrate regardless of the system sound settings. When I use a silent file as the alarm tone in (for example) Pocket Alarm, the vibration also gets turned off.
