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

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)?
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?
Hi all
I searched high and low for a tweak or add-on that would help me with this. If a sceduled task or appointment starts and the alarm goes off I might just not be in the room (or maybe in this very second there was a loud train passing by). With my good old Palm 105 that had been no problem because 5 minutes later the alarm would ring again until dismissed.
Only I found apps that reapeat alarms BUT REPLACE working with WM5 Schedule Task etc. I cant do that. I just want the alarm to repeat...
Anyone help me on this please?
Cheers,
Rogurt
I had alarm and reminder issue for a long time with WM6.1.
if the phone is in stand-by mode, the alarm will not wake up, nor does reminders. I tried menmaid, doesn't help, my notification queue is not long at all. Then I had to do a master-reset to get my alarm work again.
But just yesterday, I found if I turn off the "voice commend" feature on my phone, the alarm again would not work from standby mode. But if I enabled the "voice commend" feature, the alarm started to work properly again.
Not sure if this will work for others if they had the same alarm and notification issue. But it worths a try if Menmaid or other ways on internet turns out not help.
Been using the alarm function with no problems.......until recently! I woke up half an hour late for work the other day, went to check my phone wondering why the alarm hadn't gone off but the screen was flashing "SNOOZE " & "DISMISS" So the alarm was working but the sounds weren't and i had turned off the vibrate option because I hate that sound it makes.
I go into the alarm sound menu and none of them play, I go into the ringtones and they work fine. Same with message tones and music.
The sound options were all set correctly, alarm volume set to max. Silent mode wasn't the problem.
After a reboot the alarm sounds played again.
Anyone else had this problem?

Just had the exact same thing happen to me this morning. This is the second time it has happened. I had also received an SMS before my alarm was supposed to go off, and it vibrated instead of playing my notification sound (even though I did not have it on vibrate only mode). Very, very annoying. Bring on root+CM7!!!
If you have any task killers, remove them.
I know many of the task killers will do this to your clock.
Thanks pr0x2, but I am running only the stock Sense task killer.
The problem may with the ringer. otherwise, go to settings, find sound and select volume. you may have set the specific volume to min. increase the alarm volume in that try.
