Reminder not stoppable

Hello @ all,
I have often problems with reminders, too, as posted by others before. When phone is resetted, the reminders drive me to hell. I tried check notification, but I am not able to get this again workin normal...
Check notification seems not to work properly, or probably I am doing something wrong... When I hit in the options delete duplicate reminders, nothing happens. When I then hit "clear", all my reminders are deleted...
But now, I have another issue: Reminders are not stoppable because there does not appear the info where i can dismiss it...
It's very poor for MS, that this problem exists since OS 2003 and seems to be still in WM6...
Hope that someon has some hitns for me...

the best solution is memmaid (www.dinarsoft.com), but it's not free

Hi zoki!
Thanks for your answer. That too is new to me... I'll give it a try, there's a 15 das limited trial available...

I'll second Memmaid. This tool is great for cleaning stuff up (bad notifications, bad links, etc).

I installed it and had a look on it...
In the notification queue I see hundreds of reminders. Its OK, I am using my calendar very intensive...
So, I searched for duplicated items (is that really the problem for my issue?!). Found two, deleted them, restarted my nice phone, and again: my phone reminds me for i dont know, 5 to 10 notifications at one time. sounds nice, when two rings are ringing at one time but it nerves...
what can I do to solve my probelm with this tool?!
so, I have many items there:
calendar.exe
clock.exe (more than three!). I think that there's the problem?! I would say only three should be there...?!
for following items i have no clue what they are,...
tmail.exe
calupd.exe
sqmevent.exe
enrollnot.exe
\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\SCRIPT:0x0
clocknot.exe
repllog.exe
calnot.exe

Reminders problem
OK, I don't use reminders, but try this: Turn off notifications before resetting your device. I don't remember if there is a setting in the calendar program for this, as I use pocket informant, but probably there is. Then, after resetting, turn them back on. This might at least stop it reminding you about past events. If this doesn't work, you can try turning them off in the "Sounds and Notifications" program in the Settings folder. Then turn them back on after resetting.
Good luck,

I don't think this will solve dbsoundz's problems. I had the same thing yesterday morning, my alarm woke me up on the normal programmed time, but there's no button to dismiss it. Even switching of the alarm doesn't work, it keeps up going. Only by hard-reset I was able to solve this.

Thanks for discussion...
what have I done: I deleted all the items with "clock.exe". After that, my phone was not again ringing wild on phone startup . So far so good.
But:
the problem with the missing notification of reminders still exists

hm... it still rings once on startup. but the ringtone is another then edited in the sound settings under "reminders"... but thank god, no ringing orchestra any more... and still w/o "dismiss"-notification

It sounds to me like a time zone problem! Try going to a different time zone let it chnage and then wait a couple of secs and chnage back!

Hi funman,
thanks for your reply.
I tried your suggestion. but it didn't help. Same problems as before. I was also sceptical about that, because I don't think that there's the problem. As described, the phone makes still a ring orchestra at start up and the reminders are totally different from settings in the sounds/notification settings... very strange. And there's still no notification baloon where I could "dismiss" it...

HTC Home - Automatic Profile

I can't find a help file for HTC Home anywhere, and I don't think this has been posted... anyone know what the last ringer profile is in HTC Home? It says "Automatic" at the top but I have no idea what that means.

I think that u can specify when it changes from ring to vibrates based on day and time...cant work out how to set it up though. If someone who knows could explain would be awesome

I think that when this profile is selected the device vibrates during appointments defined in the calendar and rings otherwise. But I have never tested.

Yes, that's what it does.
It goes changes when you have an appointment that is set to busy and changes back when it's over.

Almost but not quite. It goes to vibrate whenever there is an (so any, not just busy) appointment in the calendar and goes back when not. The idea of an automatic profile is great but it's executed rather ****ty in this case. Whenever I have a birthday on my calendar for example, my phone will be on vibrate all damn day.
If someone knows a fix, please enlighten us.

I tried it today... I checked before class ended and it was on vibrate. After class ended it was still on vibrate... does it change over when a call comes in? I'd love to be able to rely on this but I don't need to impress my professors with Kanye West ringtones...
BTW: Does the phone have an "immediate silence" button like most do? I know on my Moto and Samsung phones the side buttons usually did the trick... immediately silence the ringer but still allow it to go to voicemail?

Thanks for correcting me. It's been a while since I've used it.

If you really want a function like that, you're probably better off with something like phoneAlarm or some other freeware. They tend to have more options as to how you want it to function.

I have a similar question - I always keep my Tilt set on "Vibrate", but when I enter a new appt. in Calendar, it switches by itself to "Ringtone", and I have to keep switching it back. Any suggestions about how to keep it on "Vibrate" would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
has anyone yet got an answer to this!!
I also found the similar issue. I have lot of birthdays / holidays and other all day events in my calendar and automatic profile always goes to vibrate mode whenever I have any all day event in my calendar!!
Is there anyways I can set it to switch to vibrate only if my calendar status is busy and not for other events/appointments when status is not busy??
Thanks.

Unfortunately not with HTC Home. It's pretty stupid in its implementation of a very nice feature.

+1, I used a lot this feature on my smartphone where sound profiles were implemented by WM, but now I am on a pdaphone with htc manila 2D and I have the same problem: vibrate mode on any appointment, even if it's a free appointment. Too bad Maybe someone is able to write a small tool to perform automatic profile in right way? Or find any msdn doc so I could try to write it in with .NET... I've searched a little on how to switch the sound profile but with no success.

I've had similar experience - automatic profile is totally unreliable on every wm 5, 6, & 6.1 phone I've tried it on. Sometimes it works and sometimes it "forgets."

I think you'd better use the Spb phone suite. The automatic profiles from Spb works perfect on appointment (based on busy status of busy or out of office...). Also it provides the time based profile which will switch profile upon the setting time frame. I have used this software for almost 1 year and felt very happy with it.

Alarm notifications not working on FUZE

I searched the Raphael forums for this and did not find an answer so here is the problem.
My HTC FUZE is running the stock rom with TF3D and my alarm did not go off this morning. I had a calender event scheduled with a 15 min reminder for 8 am and an alarm set for 9 am. The calender event went off as planned but with such a quiet noise it didn't wake me up, and I did not dismiss it obviously. So then the alarm notification also did not go off because there was already one notification that was not dismissed yet. When I check the title bar and click the alarm icon that is there, is brings up both of the two notifications at the bottom of the screen and I can dismiss them. If there is no calender event to dismiss it works fine. I still have to click on the title bar to get it to pop up at the bottom at all though. So I am hesitant to make any calender events with alarms at all for fear that my alarm clock won't work!!!!
Please provide any insight into this that you can!!! Thanks in advance...

Without any calander events and an alarm set for 6:15AM, it has failed to go off every day since I've had the phone. I just installed pTravelAlarm, the same one I used on my Tilt, and it's been working fine.

Not a Fuze issue - rather, a Window's Mobile problem - well documented -

I installed g-alarm and it warned that my device (Fuze) may suffer from a notification bug and that it had to reboot to fix it (guessing registry fix). So apparently someone's aware of the alarm bug/issue.
Haven't had any issues since though (with gAlarm)

I too have the alarm bug on my Fuze running latest ROMeOS. Going to give gAlarm a try like others have suggested.

Guess that is what I will try also. It definitely sounds like a WM bug...

I also have an alarm problem, although lights go off, the alarm doesn't ring. I also have problems with ringing on incoming calls. The speaker otherwise works fine. I have Natfv4.0 installed. Do any of the roms fix this problem?

my
TP's alarm works but the notification dosent pop up to give me the option to dismiss it? how do i fix that?

Is there a registry fix for this?
I don't get pop-up windows any more - I think since i turned off threaded SMS.

Wasn't that an initial problem with the Fuze? I remember having that issue. Just flash to a newer build OS and you'll be fine.

Work phone, not an option.
Surely there's a registry doodad I can change?

It's a Windows Mobile problem as noted, something about duplicated notifications. One suggestion was to download sktools, and use that to clear up your notification que. It is a registry thing I believe, but it's rather a pain in the butt to find where the notifications are and what to delete. SKtools Lite I think can do it, I know it can scan the notification queue and clear it up, but I've never had the problem so far. Would think that Microsoft would have at least made sure the alarm function of a business phone works.

change email/notification profile by time

Hi people.
I've spend a couple days searching and trawling around google and various fora (including these ones) but can't seem to find exactly what I want... which is:
I want to be able to disable email, SMS and MMS notifications at night when I'm trying to sleep. However I still want to be able to hear the alarm I've set to wake me up in the morning...
I realise I could do this manually through the "sounds and Notifications" menu in WM6 "settings", but its a right pain in the arse.
I've tried the PhoneAlarm free trial, but it doesn't let you switch off specific notification types like e.g. just email and SMS, but not general alarms.
Anyone got any ideas or can suggest a program. I don't need lots of bells and whistles and other unnecessary control features - just a quick way to set the profile to a setting that turns off email and SMS notifications, but keeps on alarms - I'm even happy to press a button for this each night and don't mind if it doesn't automatically switch at my preferred time.
thanks in advance for any help guys.
ps. I'm running stock O2 WM6.0 UK ROM - I've never changed it... so please, please, please don't tell me I need to upgrade the ROM to 6.1 I'm way too busy and need my phone and pda working at all times to be dealing with flashing a new ROM and re-installing all my progs and entering email settings etc...

PhoneWeaver
I use a timed silent profile that switches back to normal before the first alarm of the day

hi
use spb phone suite for this, it allows you to switch. There are other programs that do this that may be free but i cannot for the life of me rememeber they were i somewhere on here i think... someone started a thread on it
and for alarm use g-alarm as its by far the best out there, if your not already using it that is

No more sms notifications!

The name of the thread says it all, i'm not getting any more notification for the sms i get.
No sound, no icon in the notification bar, nothing...
I'm just able to see that i have a new message because i set Handcent to display the number of unread sms on the Launcher Pro dock.
Yes, i have checked all the settings, yes, i have tried other application, yes i have tried to change my rom (tried the stock 2.3.4 , reseted it, didn't work, so i installed the CM 7.1 RC...).
It's kind of annoying, i have to wake up the phone now to check the new sms, it's killing the fun!
Anyone has had the same problem? Anyone knows what could have caused it? I didn't change anything at all, it started with no reason.
FYI i'm french, living in france, Nexus S i9023, and getting pissed off because of that thing XD
Thanks for you help guys!

Come on mates, don't tell me i'm the only one having this issue???
Even on the french forums nobody's ever had it, i can't have that much bad luck! XD

ok, one more try.
My provider kept the phone for one month trying to fix the problem, which they did by "updating the software"... bulls**t as it was already the latest version of anything available on my phone. The problem is still here, i can't get any notification for my SMS!!
The thing is, while they had my phone repaired, i used my old HTC Hero... And i got the same trouble! It seems the problem is my google account! BUT i tried with a new adress i created just to check it out... And i had the same problem...
To be honest, i'm fed up having to wake up the phone to check the sms!
I can't find a reason why my notifications are off now!
I tried a non-android phone (samsung player one) and i got all the notifications!
It's driving me crazy, does anyone have a clue???

i had the same issue ever since I bought my Nexus S but the setting for vibrating when you receive a text message is in the Messaging app after you press the menu key and go into settings
Messaging App --> Menu Key --> Settings --> Notification Settings
Hope this helps!!

Helped on JB4.1.2 by turning SMS notification off (yes, it was on by default, but no Notification) and then on again after exiting the sms app.

I had the same problem...
fullwiped, reflashed gapps, worked again.
If you're not willing to wipe, I remember that Go SMS was the only sms.apk able to notify me of incomming text at the time. You may give it a try
