I know that the "Dismiss Now" feature exists and comes up 2 hours before an alarm, but does anyone know how I can do something like this at any time?
Specifically, I want to be able to dismiss either the next occurrence of the alarm the day before or (even better) be able to turn off/ignore alarms during specific dates or holidays or something that I specify.
Otherwise I'm stuck with having to turn off the alarm and then having to remember to turn it back on when I need it next.

I use alarmToday
SPB Time does not work, the alarm doesn't wake up, and when you turn the phone on after it is due, it then starts alarming.
I use ptravelalarm, love it. I like the big "Stop" and "Snooze" buttons that appear on the screen when the alarm goes off and it has all the other features. I notice on WM6 that the alarm wont sound unless you disable security alerts, but I think everyone here does that anyway.

Exactly - at least you are sure it won't crash/fail to get sound to play etc.. and you won't miss the plane
You can make alarm.lnk with contents:
00#"\Windows\settings.exe" alarm.cpl.xml
and bind a keystroke to it to set alarm quickly.
This is the first time I ever say something +ve about M$ Product
Anyone have link to this alarm you guys love so much. I've tried Sbd time but thats failed me a couple of time so my search continues.
I have WM6, where would I be able to disable security alerts?

The alarm peeps r talking bout is the default Windows Mobile alarm.
Nevertheless, I would go for pocketalarm. Plays MP3's. Dunno if it will run on WM6.

If you mean the soundsettings for alert:
Go to start > settings> sounds and alerts
If you mean something else... could you be more specific?
Try en AlarmPPC. Nice reliable alarm clock. Works under WM6

LlamaV3 mentions disabling security alerts. So I couldn't tell anything more on that other than it was mentioned in this post.
Right now I'm giving a shot to the alarm LlamaV3 mentioned but I'll def look into the rest mentioned by you guys. I do depend on my phone as an alarm so I need to find that perfect reliable alarm.
Thanks for your help guys.
I use CHRONOS from ActiveKitten. I'm loving it.
You can set snooze time to 5, 10, 15 and more
BIG snooze button on your screen will allow you to tap on it and sleep again
Best feature, the alarm sound can increase from low then going to louder and louder. Of course, you would be able to set the increase time. It also does vibrate or not.
It also includes Stop Watch...
Works on WM6.. never let me down except that one time, my SD card was accidentally ejected. My fault though...
And what I found out this morning: With pocketalarm you can use the powerbutton as the snooze button... So I don't even have to open my eyes to snooze
I like the Alarm included with WM6. Lets you set three separate alarms, all with different sound, vibrate and flash options.
Hi,
I've began to have a weird problem with my Touch Pro since about a few days ago. The "Next Alarm" on the TouchFlo 3D "home" screen does not update accurately. For example, I have an alarm set now for 6 AM next morning, but the line says "Alarm Off".
I've had an alarm set today for 6AM and another for 7AM. After the 6AM alarm went off, I dismissed it, but the screen kept showing 6AM as the next alarm.
Also, I don't get a pop-up when the alarm comes off. The sound plays, the device vibrates, the bell icon appears in the title bar, but no notification pops up.
I'm using the stock ROM that was on my device (1.90.401.1 WWE, ROM date 08/01/08).
Things I tried that didn't help:
- Soft reset - the problem reappears after a while. TouchFLO 3D sometimes restarts if the device is turned on after a long period of inactivity by sliding the keyboard out. After the restart the alarm line says "Alarm Off" even though I have an alarm for the next day at 6 AM.
- Clearing the notification queue doesn't seem to have any effect at all.
Any ideas? Thanks for any help.
Any ideas anyone? Pleeease! This bug annoys me and I don't want to do a hard reset :-(
i have the same rom and tha same problem
its strange cos i tink at the start i did get a dismiss button, but now i only get the icon and the ring/vibration
i tink htc still need to fix alot of problems
I was just going a search for this same problem.
When I first got my Touch Pro less than 2 weeks ago, I got a dismiss button. Now it's gone and I have to go diving for my stylus on a morning to open up the alarm thing at the top, then wait for the next screen, then choose the alarm, THEN I can dismiss it.
REALLY annoying.
Anyone know what this is?
I actually fixed that one. It seems that something (Advanced Config?) caused my notification settings to be reset. After changing them back in Start->Settings->Sounds & Notifications it all went back to normal. However the next alarm is still not accurate sometimes. Seems like it's only update occasionally and not immediately.

I've tried this a few times, and the alarm still doens't pop to the front.
Last night I turned TouchFlo off alltogether, and it STILL doesn't pop to the front.
So it *MUST* be something in Windows Mobile somewhere.
Does anyone else have any clue?
You know what, I just did some intensive Googling and found this
https://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3951579&SiteID=65
To summarise
Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications
Choose Notifications Tab
Change the dropdown to Reminders (the bit I missed)
Now you can see a checkbox for Display message on screen
Check the box, click OK, close settings.
Fixed
The clock & alarms has been a problem since Windows Mobile saw daylight.
I don't use it anymore as my alarm, I use pTravelAlarm instead.
Works like the alarms on WM should: Dependable, and a BIG snooze button
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.
When I have an alarm set up, for example I have a M-F alarm to wake up for work, and the alarm goes off, it never displays any option for "Snooze" or "Disable". In fact, nothing comes on the screen at all. I have it set to repeat if I miss it, so to disable it I end up having to go into the alarms config, and turn off the alarm manually by unchecking it.
There has to be an easier way.... every other phone I've had (including my Blackjack II) has a "snooze" and "disable" option when the alarm goes off.
I know this must be obvious but I can't find it. Please help!
i havent confirmed this, but i saw this info on another forum:

i just did the alarm this morning and saw the same thing. what i did was touch the top screen with all the symbols to bring up the system menu. there was an alarm symbol. i clicked it then the soft keys changed to disable on left and menu on right. tapped menu and the options for snooze came up. clicked snooze for ten min and it went away. ten min later the alarm went off again. hope this helps.
Yup that's it exactly. I do this every weekday morning!
I can only offer that I have the same problem. I have a feeling it is similar to my problems with the phoen application and how it now works.
I feel it is touchflo 3d fault.
Correct me if I am wrong but the overlay of TouchFlo has made my device more troublesome than my 8125 on wm5.

Wow, that totally defeats the purpose of snooze, by the time i figure out how to do all that it when i'm half asleep i'll be wide awake already!
Guess the 3rd party will have to fix this.
This is another example of where basic functionality of a phone has been superseded by glitzy features.
Another thing I noticed is that the alarm will repeat a few times and then just disable itself and never go off again. There is an option buried somewhere for alarms and how many times to repeat but I think it was grayed out for no apparent reason.
I had that problem too. I ended up getting gAlarm and I'm happy with it. There is nice big snooze button as well as a stop button. I think if you turn the phone over, it will snooze too. But I'll have to verify that.
omg..i HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!!
i thought i was the only one that was completely lost on this...
There has to be something were missing...because going thru all those steps is alot of hassle, when ur half asleep
I'm willing to bet a dollar that most of use that rely on the Fuze alarm clock are now getting up roughly 10 minutes earlier...

True That.
I Hate it.

The built in alarms just don't cut it. If you're going to use it for getting you up so you can go to work it's worth getting a good dedicated alarm.
On my TyTn I liked pTravelAlarm:
http://www.burroak.on.ca/pta.html
On the Fuze I'm testing Klaxon:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/search/label/Klaxon
I think I slightly prefer pTravelAlarm but it's not free; when I fumble with the phone it shakes enough to shut off the alarm when I just want to snooze.
But both have nice big snooze buttons you can jab at when you're half-asleep/hungover.
Thanks guys, i'll check out some of the suggested solutions!
The popup is occurring but it is happening BEHIND TF3D. I highly recommend Klaxon. The program is a little slow and setting the time is annoying as you cant type numbers, you have to press up/down to find your numbers but it goes off and it is a nice big screen.
I find some alatm/clock but it is so complicate with many options or they dont have option that I need.
Alarm/reminder need to be simple and have options to repeat alarm (yearly,month,weekly...), and auto repeat alert when is not see and off alarm.
And need to have list of all appointments.
thanks.
ptravelalarm is the one i've been using for a few years now
Moved as not software release.
I just want a reminder thing that actually reminds me. Any suggestions? The installed calendar fails miserably in this respect. I added Calendar Event to the phone, and that doesn't fit the bill either. I downloaded COL reminder, but it seems I need to load them all into the program, instead of it reading my calendar reminders. My WM6.1 phone did just fine with this; add an appointment or reminder, even make it repeat every other day, and it actually reminded me! At the selected time! Even Palm had this figured out.
I have tried setting different ring tones, setting it to vibrate all the time, setting test reminders between 2-30 minutes from when I type in the reminder. No consistent success. I have a cyclic reminder set for 0755 every morning to show me a Bible verse. I get pretty task saturated by then, so it's a good opportunity to stop and breathe. However, I don't see the reminder until hours later, usually when a second reminder for the day has popped up. What gives? Has anyone tried Nudnik?
Annoying isn't it? It's another one of those things that any Nokia brick from ten years ago did better. Makes you wonder if we're going forward or backwards.
isn't android already have an alarm in the clock application??
