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...
Hi,
I don't know about you but I receive emails continuously through the night. it is very annoying to wake up to an email or other notification at 3am! is there a program that switches sound off/on automatically. even using outlook could be an idea?
Will
I use SBP's PhoneWeaver for doing this. You do have to pay for it but it does give you options for times and days of the week to switch profile automatically. You can also have it change things like WIFI/Bluetooth and phone settings automatically, or execute applications as specific times.
If you use the calendar, you can set the phone to do it automatically during the appointments. U need to use the HTC home to do this tho as it's not a standard option. Tried it with my lectures, and it put it onto vibrate during the lecture, then after it went to normal.
PocketZenPhone will do exactly what you want.

Dear Nick,
I was wondering if you could enlighten me on this please? I have had a play around and do not understand what you are talking about?
Will
Well if you Active Sync your outlook or OWA calendar to the device, and set it so it's marked as BUSY. Then using HTC home, u know that plug in for the homescreen you can auto set it to set your phone to vibrate/normal during the periods set. I do it.
Under ring tone tab you click the last one on the list which set's the sound to Automatic. And it auto set's the ring setting.
got it - thank-you......I was wondering what the automatic meant!?!

Philip, are you using this on the TC?
If so, do you also have the HTC home running as well? Does it interfere with any other common plugins?
Thanks.
I only got my Orbit 2 a couple of days ago, so I am still configuring it with all the programs that I was running on my Orbit (Artemis). I only installed HTC Home last night, but it seems to co-exist with PocketZenPhone quite happily.
I have not seen any problems with anything else I am running (mainly PocketBreeze and PocketWeather on the Today screen), but as I said it may be early days yet.
I do wish that there was an easy way to install and configure programs - it's something I dread doing every time I upgrade my handset (and I've been through an XDA II, XDA IIi, XDA Executive, Vario II, Orbit and now Orbit 2). Yes, I do keep all my programs on my storage card, but many still need to be re-installed so that they can write to the Registry, and some other important files (e.g., ring tones, some TomTom stuff, etc) have to live in main memory.
I use Phone Alarm. It can do this and much much more with multiple profiles. I also set AS peak hours so I am not disturbed by emails while sleeping.

Now you've got me looking at PocketWeather as well!
If you've got HTC Home, PocketWeather AND PocketZenPhone running ok together, I've got to try it! Cheers Philip.
Pocket Zenphone - thanks Phillip.
What a fantastic program, Only $10 (£5)!
What an absolute bargain......everyone should buy it...........

HTC Home
Hi, sorry I'm probably being thick but I run HTC Home and I only have the 3 tabs Appearance; Items; and HTC Home. Where do I find the ringtone tab?
Thanks
Go into start, settings, today. Then HTC Home, and untick or tick which of the tabs you require.
Philip, Weather and ZenPhone are fantastic, great recommendations, thank you!
PocketZenPhone is great, and handles profiles particularly well, very powerful, and works a treat!
I'm using them along with Ultimate Launch as well so that I can have "three homepages". If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it.
Hi sorry still being stupid. In HTC Home I only have Home, Weather, Launcher, Profile, Favourite People and Music. On the profile tab (back on the Home screen rather than in settings) I have an automatic option but I can't see any settings for it, is this what everyone is talking about? I select that and it will mute my phone during busy time?
Sorry again
Yes, there aren't any options for the profiles, it's normal, silent, vibrate or auto.
Auto is driven by your "busy" time in calendar appointments. In calendar, if you put your time as busy, it will go to vibrate (or silent).
PocketZenPhone has a much better profiling tool. I've been running it since yesterday, and it works very well. Free trial available, so give it a go.
Just remember to do a backup first, in case it causes problems, and you have to regress back.

Hi BadTaste,
You mentioned the above.........If I do not have these settings do you know how it is I can change. I have looked at the register tool, but I am not of that ilk and find it confusing!
Thank-you,
Will

Do you have the HTC Home plugin installed also?? I have Phone Alarm but have been hesitant to load since I purchased the Touch & now the Cruise. Initially there were reports of conflicts with "touchflow". Maybe now this has been addressed. What "skin" are you using & is it displayed on your home screen?
Thanks,
tde
no dice
For the life of me, I can not figure out why my phone, ATT Tilt, (when set to vibrate and ring) only vibrates when receiving a call. I've tried it at the "normal" sound setting and at "automatic" and when calling from my landline, it still just vibrates w/ no ringtone. When going into HTC Home 2.1, i check the ringtone and it plays. Any help on the matter? or a good explanation of what the "automatic" sound setting truly does? I feel like an idiot...
ps. sorry that this was posted in the wrong thread.
Okay, only had the phone a couple of days but I've spent all afternoon trying to work out how to turn on an alert for incoming SMS without having to listen to an annoying beep everytime I send an SMS.
I'd prefer to keep a customised ringtone yet the various sound profiles accessed from the Today screen dont let me select my own ringtones.
I assume I'm overlooking the obvious but I can't find how to do it.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks?
Key Pad Lock
I've set the phone so I have to enter a password everytime it goes into 'sleep' mode but cant now find how to knock this off when I'm in the house - can anyone help?
Thanks
Alan
I'm afraid it's one of those, either have it on or off. After playing a little longer, you'll notice other things as well, eg. sms/missed call notifications are not repeated amongst other things.
The good news is that there are plenty of 3rd party apps that offer better or extensive use of your Polaris like profiles. A couple that spring to mind are PhoneAlarm and spb phone suite. I think PhoneAlarm might offer what you need like 'launching a program depending on location' and such. Both are shareware though.
Try first googling xda-developers to see what others are saying. Maybe I missed a little app that does exactly what you want.
Enjoy your new toy!
My ATT Tilt is set to retrieve my e-mail every 15 minutes. When I use my "Alarms" to wake me in the morning I get awakened if I get a message or e-mail during the night. Is there a sound profile or something that would allow sound for just the alarm and silence the message notices? WM 6.1
I have read where phones with WM6.1 have this feature. Go to Settings->system->clocks & alarms. Go to the "more" tab. There should be a selection available to sound alarms even when device is set to silent or vibrate. Then you can set your phone silent and still get your alarm. Hopefully it is there. It is on this cooked one I'm using.
There is only one option under the more tab. it is "Display the clock on the title bar in all programs."
then just disable the notifications sounds for texts and email. my email notification is silent. and noone is stupid enough to send me a text in the middle of the night (except my sister on occasion when she gets drunk)

Not all ROM's have this feature..it depends upon the builds
take a look at phonealarm application if you want to have full control on your notifications/sounds/profiles etc.
Thanks. I looked at the ap. It's $25! I might try the trial version, but I don't think I want to spaend that much for such a minor annoyance.

u can download spb phone suite for free on xda.
im new to the touch pro seen since i have switched to the iphone from a polaris and tilt. i was wondering if there are any repeat alerts on the fuse for missed calls, vm, sms? i know that on the polaris and tilt, treo alerts along with mortscript worked...on the fuse i cant seem to get it to work...has anyone made a hack or cab for repeat alerts on the fuse...thanks in advanced...
yea ive been looking for repeat alerts for my SMS Tone, but when we go into settings, the BOX to check in "repeat alert" is Greyed out, so we can choose it
is this still unresolved?!
I use Best Reminder, mself.
Works a treat.
Thanks!! I will try that
for the record, I tried "Notification Repeat Enable.cab" but it didnt work on my fuze. The damn "repeat" check box in sounds & notifications remains grayed out and disabled.
It sounds like best reminder will do the trick for me, thanks
damnit, that one also doesnt meet my needs.
I need a repeating alarm for REMINDERs, i.e. tasks with alarms.
None of these seem to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRrrrrrrr
to top off my anger, "Best Reminder" doesnt have any method to uninstall it!!!!!!

Try Spb Pocket Plus.
Here is a quote from a review MobileTechReview did:
Reviewer @ MobileTechReview said:
One of the handiest features in Pocket Plus has to be the repeat alarm function. This fills a silly gap left by Microsoft in Windows Mobile. Not only does Pocket Plus enable repeat alarms, but you can specify any .WAV file to play and set the volume of the alarm independent of the system volume. That’s great for morning wake-up alarms while traveling when the sound may have been muted for meetings. Alarms may even ascend in volume, which is my favorite setting. If I’m in a loud location, the alarm will be heard when the volume reaches near maximum, but if I’m in a quiet area I can catch it early and avoid annoying everyone in earshot. Sweet.
Using the Settings tab, repeating alarms may be enabled for the built-in clock and/or for task alarms. You can set a minimum battery level below which the repeated alarm function will be disabled.

It's the second-last paragraph that you're probably interested in.

I hope this works for you!

Spb Phone Suite has to be one of the most awesome phone apps out there. I swear by it, m'self.
I don't use it any more because I use TouchFlo and don't want to bloat my device but for anybody that has disabled TouchFlo, the question is: why AREN'T you using Spb Phone Suite???
I agree with the previous post. I love SPB Phone suit and the features are out weight using the TF3D.
Anyway if you want the repeat download the a cab called "Notification Repeat Enable.cab" it will allow you to check the repeat Notification box. I tested and it works on my Att Fuze with HTC WWE Rom
I didn't know about a cab for this but I used the instructions Here and got what I needed. Worked fine for me.
