Hi,
Request for a new app.
Sorry for my bad english.
So first the Problem:
In the Standard Calender you only adjust the alarm e.g. 15 Minutes before the appointment, and thats what the alarm does: ringing 15 Minutes before.
But sometimes the alarm is useless, for example i have an appointment at the dentist at 15:00.
I need about 10 min from my home to the doctor so i let ring my phone 20 min before, but if i forget the appointment and drive away with my frinds the alarm is useless.
So I thouth of a calender app which regulates the alarm by itsself.
Perhaps it could work this way:
1.When making a new appointment you have to enter: When and Where (like in navi) the appointment is.
2.Then the app should check every 15 minutes where i am. This could be per the radio masts.
3.Ceck how long it takes from the position to place where the appointment is.
4.Ring if its time for it.

use G-Alarm and G-profile and you can also use Thumbcal to setup the appointments.
also, the default WM calendar supports custom reminders.

I was looking for a stopwatch/countdown timer, but couldnt find one which continues when the phone goes into standby.
Regards
I thought I'd bump this up to the top, as I've done a few searches with no luck either.
IS there a countdown timer that works during standby?
(I used to use my old Palm Pilot timer to remind me about parking meter expirys).
Thanks for any help!
try Event Countdown freeware...works on wm5 or 6:

Thanks for your help, but that doesn't do it either.
Just for anybody reading this, if you set an alarm in wm5 or 6, the device will wake up and alarm will sound.
I have not been able to find a countdown timer that can wake the device and play a sound.
I'm almost thinking that it MIGHT be possible for a programmer (certainly not possible for me) to just "hijack" one of the alarms, and set it for some minutes or hours into the future??
Any help appreciated!
Try SPB Time maybe? I use the program but not for countdown timers really...
This doesn't look fancy but I have been using it tonight and it works just fine, even when the device goes into standby.

Thanks Mymegabyte, (wmstopwatch)
I tried that package a few days ago, if you try to use countdown, and then put the pda into standby, and wait beyoud the time you have set, then bring the device OUT of standby, the countdown timer THEN drops to 0, and an alarm rings.
In other words, it doesn't countinue counting down whilst in standby, and certainly doesn't wake up and play an alarm.
UPDATE; I had used the old version, I've just installed the new version on my HTC p3300 and the software shows NO keyboard, even after soft reset. so it can't be used....
Any ideas how to set up a profile (like I have for the Exchange sync) so that I don't get my phone waking me up in the middle of the night every time it automatically checks my POP3 e-mail.
Sure, I could set it to silent, but then my alarm doesn't go off kin the morning.
Sure, I could sync POP3 e-mail manually, but that's a pain in the arse during the day.
I can set my Exchange sync to only work between certain hours, why not POP3?
bump...just this once.
Not really an answer to the problem but i am usng SPB Time for my alarm functions and that overrides the silent setting and has nice big Off and Snooze buttons as well..
Like your thinking deedee...
I use Profiles for Windows, which can be found here...
http://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/pwm/pwm.aspx
I have a number of profiles that switch time through the day and then at night it switches the phone off, then switches it back on at 5:30 in the morning.
Works seemlessly - most of the time.
Hello all,
I wonder if an alarm where user can set a date added to time exists.
I know we could you use calendar for that, but it takes longer time and sound wouldn't be good for both calendar reminder and wake-up alarm.
On Desire HD, time set up looks like iPhone (with scrool), and I would appreciate to do the same with the date.
This is useful when you have to setup several wake up time which all are at different time.
Thanks,
Lim.
Searching for this did not bring up anything useful, so I try to ask here. Hope this is the right forum.
I use the agenda alarms a lot, for everything, from "Budget meeting" to "buy milk" to "Phone Tom". But often I am far enough from my phone to miss the alarm sound, even if loud.
You know, if you then turn on the phone from standby, you find the appointment on screen, and you also have the possibility to repeat the alarm (5 minutes later I think) pressing the lower left button.
But if I do not turn on the phone because I don't need it, and don't remember that I have something to do... the appointment may be missed.
I wish to have a way to set an automatic repeat of every Agenda alarm, every 2-3 minutes, until I turn it off.
Someone knows a way, or an app ?
Thank you!

I have a strange issue...I am in c/t and work HQ is in pst. When an appointment is set from some in pst and it sync to my device via exhange only when the appointment time comes if I snooze the 1hr alert before the meeting...it moves the orginal appointment time up 5 hours exactly on my phone and PC calendar. So if it was for 12p noon it moves it to 5p
Any solution for this?
