Fix for broken Calendar and alarms - General Questions and Answers

I have found Pocket Mechanic works to fix broken caldendar functions which often exhibit fault by refusing to ring alarm call on my calendar dates. Ive missed appointments because of this. Run pocket Mechanic and use OUTLOOK CLEANUP function then registry cleanup function and then NOTIFICATION QUEUE function to clean all problems.
Seems to have fixed not only my old WIZA200 of this problem i had ages ago but also worked to fix my new HTC Touch HD. Microsoft should be slapped for allowing this horrible bug to live on in their new mobiles. I rely on calendar totally!
Pocket Mechanic is free for 30 days... enough to get fixed... if it happens again you may need to pay for it... mine was ok after I did this the first time on my Wiza and lasted about 9 month trouble free after that so fingers crossed.
Oh yes, im on Mobile 6.1 (me thinks) and pocket Mechanic version I used to fix was 2.92
May need to power off phone and take battery out and power up again. Make sure also your volume sliders are up, because ive had it on silent in the past and thats why alarms didnt ring.

Silent Treo

So I know this is a known bug from what other threads have said. In my case I don't even need to use the slider, but guranteed my phone sounds will all stop working at least once a day, even the vibrate does not work.
Soft reset solves the problem till the next time.
Should I consider reporting and getting my unit changed ?
I am testing one thing right now, normally I have my pushmail running 24x7, I think this might be the cause somehow. It's not direct push, its Oracle Pushmail plugin with works with pocket outlook.
Is this normal ?
Voicecommand is the problem, disable it and you will never have that problem again!
ok I will try this out and get back
that did not work, i disabled and left push email running overnight and sure enough in the morning the sounds no longer worked.
Tonight I will turn push mail off and see what happens I am pretty sure the sound will work in this case.
i had this issue earlier this week and i've seen numerous threads about other having the same issue. NO true, duplicated scenario or solution has been found (or i haven't seen one). After several soft resets i had to do a hard reset and reinstall everything. That was the only way i got the sound back.
so in your case are you saying a soft reset did not bring the sound back ?
in my case soft reset always brings the sound back.
I have kept my email turned off and so far no problems with the sound, I think mine has got something to do with oracle pusmail plugin, which is a real pain as I need that.
Unless this occurs in a clean device [no installed 3rd party apps] it might be a software issue. Maybe you should try and weed out the offensive app/s?
So I know which app causes it, for me its the oracle pushmail plugin for outlook that we get from work, but I can't really remove this, after all this is the reason I have this device :-(
When you lose the sound on your device does the camera also die at the same time?
Will have to check that out next time. I have had the camera go a few times, needed to soft reset. Next time the sound goes I will check the camera and report back.
Camera was ok when the sound went.
Are you SURE you have voicecommand COMPLETELY disabled? (NO checkmarks on NO options AND!!!! NO SHORTCUT TO VOICECOMMAND ON ANY BUTTON)?
Regards,
Ingo
Will have to try again, today I noticed the voice command was enabled, very weird I never set it on.
Will see how it goes this time.
OF COURSE!
The sound goes away.... it also came back once, without softresetting. I am not sure the VC is directly connected to this... I spent a good amount of $$$ to buy this phone for my wife, on the wave that she loved the 650... but what a bad idea!! Is something going to be done in order to fix all these bugs? By the way, my 750 is unlocked, but I guess it doesn't make any difference, or does it? Thank you guys, Paul.
If I checked TTY/TTN in phone options, all phone sound ceased. Uncheck and its back. Nothing in Help about this feature - what is it?
Chris
the innocent Treo...the silence of the Treo...
Waht is it? It is a shame!!! After almost one year that this model is out, still no fix for the problem! I spent $600.00 for this phone...it is really a shame.

Funny - same here. She loved her TX, I bought her the 750.
Ringer gone. Comment "Isn't ringing a basic feature of a phone honey?"
Just had to hard-reset, all others failed.
Not nice.
Same story here. She loved the 650, it got to the end of its life, so I bought her the new 750. Even worse, it doesn't even vibrate for her....lol...
Silent 750
Seems that a lot bought the 750 for the wife.
Even more reason to get the sound issue fixed
Any news yet on this - any word from Palm?
Every day i have to reboot my phone, even when i receive a call the phone don't vibrate.
Is there any mortscript that screen on screen off the phone when you receive a screen ?

Program to automatically switch onto silent between certain times?

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.
http://www.pocketzenphone.net/
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.

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.

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!

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,

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.

WM 6.1 Calendar Reminders

Grrr...this is not the same ol' missing reminder problem. at this point, i almost WISH i had that problem.
issue #1 (ongoing) - how do i disable the repeating calendar reminders? the phone chirps and chirps and chirps every 20-30 seconds until i press dismiss. i could have sworn i found a reg key on WM 6.0 that disabled this, but i came up empty when searching again today.
and now issue #2 which i ran into today. with the phone on VIBRATE because i was going someplace important for a meeting, the calendar reminders are still $^#&@*@$#$ audible!! WTF!! reminder and notification are both set to vibrate in the profile, with a volume of zero. then why the $^%#@* are they still being played??
if anyone can help, you'll save my sanity...or at least save my Blackjack from being hurled into traffic.
The first one is just what windows does... I've never been bothered to disable it though...
The second one I've never had. Couple of things to try:
soft reset
hard reset
reflash of ROM
Failing all of those, I know someone that would happily let there pockets get in the way of your blackjacks trip to the road!

HTC Touch Pro Annoyances

So it's been a month since I got my HTC Touch pro and all the problems I have with it, I've had with the HTC TYTN II. To list them:
- Volume is too low during conversations, it has to be fairly quiet around to be able to hear the other person (even with the volume turned way up)
- There's a 2-3 ring delay on incoming calls.. which means people hang up before you get a chance to answer.
- Sometimes trying to call a number, the phone will just display the Calling Number screen and you hear no sound at all in the speaker.. then after 10 seconds it will end with 3 beeps.. Like it couldn't get a signal or something, even though there's plenty of signal on the signal gauge. You try again 2-3 times before it works.. REALLY annoying (Never had a phone that did that, other than the TYTN II!)
- Answers calls in pocket. You go for the phone, but the touch screen is on and you answer or hang up (in my case apparently almost always hangs up) while the phone is still in your pocket. Also VERY annoying.
- Alarm or snooze malfunctions. This happens rarely for me, but since I use it everyday as my alarm for waking up, I notice! It's not because I sleep past the alarm. I've been lying awake listening for it to ring... the vibrator works, but no sound is played. This means that I can't trust my phone to wake me up if I'm going to catch a plane or other important stuff. It's very rare, but it happens.. it also did on my TYTN II, except that didn't even vibrate! My guess is windows is busy doing something else .. then doesn't play the sound properly.
- Then there's the slowdowns.. not really a fault, but like windows 95 it can become very slow or unresponsive for a short period for unknown reasons. A phone has to work when you need it... not delay you for 30 secs while it thinks things over. I've had to reset my phone a couple of times this month. (No I didn't run 10 apps at the same time while trying to use TF3D to look at pictures)
- It takes 4 seconds to lock the phone (So that it doesn't also MAKE calls in your pocket) .. is there a way to tweak this? Like only pressing the off-hook button for 1-2 seconds instead?
These problems are the reasons that I'm considering selling my phone to some other unfortunate person. They are BASIC functions that just have to work! I love the HTC touch pro for it's PDA functionality and my Tom Tom maps etc. but I'm really starting to hate it for these basic functionalities that work very poorly!
I know other people have experience the same problems.. couldn't we make a sticky with problems and possible solutions for it? I also really hate that fact that I have to hack my phone in able to make it function properly!

Have you considerd a custom Rom yet? I am currently running the DCS Rom, and don't have the problems you mention above. It made my TP much more responsive!
A lot of these problems though, are mentioned throughout this forum, and can be solved. Either by ROM updating, or tweaks... What Rom are you running?
I understand completely. I feel differently though. My TP is the best phone ever. The issues I have were seen on my previous devices (HTC devices for the US). The faster processor, increased storage, and TF3D make me happy. Don't get me wrong, I have cussed at this phone, missed inportant business calls, and missed a flight thanks to the alarm. I soft reset 1 - 5 times a day to proactively minimize these issues. But overall, the TP is a huge improvement over my Wing. So long as my new devices are improvements to the one before, I am happy. I can't live with a standard cell phone, and love my Raphael.

Yes, but it happens so rarely I can't say if its the sound. Besides, it's the rooster sound that came with phone. No matter what it should never happen. It happened on my TYTN II too.. So I guess it's probably a windows thing.

Hmm.. I might try that.. but I often see people start having entirely different problems with their phone then (lock ups and strange behaviour). If there is a stable ROM that fixes these issues and doesn't break down hard once every week. I'm all for it!
I'm running the standard ROM that came with the phone. Ver.: 1.90.403.6 DAN (Danish) ROM date 08/23/08, Radio: 1.02.25.19, Protocol: 52.33.25.17U
If I call my cellnr. from the home phone, it starts ringning as quickly as all my other mobile phones... So no, I really don't have that problem, thoughj I did just see another topic from somebody with exactly you problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432415
You might want to follow that.
On the alarm, I have 2 kids, so I don't use an electrical alarm Sorry...
The different ROM may be something you can test at least. It fixed a lot of annoyances for me anyway. Look in the Wiki for different Custom Roms, there are a couple out there, and for me, DCS worked best. You can always go back to original, should you not like the ROM. I'm running DCS now for three days, no resets, and it is still fast....

Using the registry hack for the touch diamond I'm now using the "lock on backlight turned off" fix.. it works, and my phone locks when I press the screen off button. Way less annoying than waiting 4 seconds for it to lock.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked
Nice, 1 Question though; What happens if you make a call? The display goes of as well then, will the keyboard then lock as well? Cause that's not handy, to say the least

So if I'm listning to my voicemail, and need to press "3" for deletion, I can't? Or will it disable after I extract my stylo?

you can extract the stylus but the you have to juggle around with it OR you can press the standby button on top to unlock it. It's a pain I know but the problem is that it is a touch screen so pressing a button to unlock is less worse than without it.
So functionality actually remains as it is now... That's good, I'll give it a try!

Sounds like you are using a ringtone from your microSD card. This will cause a delay. Your ringtones need to be copies to your device and activated by holding the stylus over your selection & hit set as ringtone.
Hope this helps,

Try SensorLock. It's a great little utility that unfortunately has stopped working for me. Must be something I poked somewhere. lol
As for the alarm, mine works fine... but I do notice the ringing a couple of times on the sending end before the phone starts to ring. I'd sort of passed that off to a network thing, not a phone thing.
The 3 second ringtone delay is a WM issue. Look at the postings for VAlert in the general hacking section. The only known fix is http://www.tweaks2k2.com/portal/staticpages/index.php?page=20050224182009983
but no one seems to have figured out their registry setting change...

TRY G-Alarm. It works well for me.
Klaxon (sp?) alarm looked cool and would have also been practical, but it would crash - totally unreliable.

No, in my TPro the delay is exactly the same (oviously using the same mp3 file in memory card or in the device)..i've reduced delay sound installing Diamond tweaks and setting "without delay" in ring tone..then i've erased diamong tweaks because use too much battery now i have only 1 ring with light (and identified call incoming on the screen) and without sound, and BEFORE the second ring my device correctly sound

If your talking about the fact that the NAV wheel starts flashing 5 seconds before the audio starts playing, then it's not the same scenario.

I have a HTC TouchPro and had the same issue of not wanting to press the long press end key for 5 seconds to lock the phone. I tried the code you gave and unfortunately the phone still does not lock when I push short press the power button to turn off the back light and put th phone in sleep mode. I really want this to work since when I am driving, I think when I go through good and bad coverage areas, the phone will automaticallly wake up about 3 times each way, so if it is not locked, I can accidentally call people while driving.

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.

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.
