Hello:
I have SPB time and recently the alarms seem to have stopped working.
They work if I place a test alarm in the afternoon for example, but the ones in the morning to wake me up for work never go off.
I have tried, wakeupteak, and scarybears check notify, to no avail, I have re-installed SPB time and the alarms. I have rebuilt my unit from the ground up. Still the same problem!!
SPB time are out of ideas themselves.
Any ideas on what the problem may be, or can someone suggest an alternative clock/alarm program for the PPC for me to try.
Thanks.
Aame problem here. AlarmX from MTUX seems to work but it's not as pretty.
There are posts on the forum somewhere telling why this is. It's something like the device goes in to sleep mode (excuse the pun). The built in alarm works Ok (for me) and so does the alarm in Stop Time.
I've had problems with alarms for almost two years - I've found only two solutions:
Try SuperAlert from WhittakerMoore - it cured my alarm problems except when I had stuff which clashed with it, however it is commercial.
A more recent and radical approach which has also worked for me is as follows (you will need software which can modify the Notifications database, such as Anton Tomov's Pocket Mechanic).
The root of the problem is the CALNOT process which runs at midnight - it performs housekeeping and if it doesn't complete correctly, it fails to trigger the first alarm of the day (and therefore any subsequent ones until you turn the device on).
Use your product of choice to simply delete the midnight notification entry which runs CALNOT.exe - this means that the housekeeping isn't done every night but the alarms will be reliable, since it now cannot fail to complete(!). To make sure the cleanup does occur now and again, put a shortcut to CALNOT.exe in the startup folder. Yes, it makes startup after a soft reset a little slower but it's worth it I feel for reliable alarms. Alternatively you could run CALNOT manually. You must remember to remove the CALNOT notification after each time it runs (including timezone changes) as it reinstates its midnight entry each time.
Although I have over 350 entries in my calendar, I haven't noticed any degradation without the regular housekeeping but I have noticed the alarms working - it now wakes me every morning except when I forget to delete the damned entry after a soft reset.
Let me know how you get on.
Note: If anyone out there wants to knock together a tiny app. which runs CALNOT then removes the notification, I for one would be very grateful - I haven't had the time to do any WM coding yet.
I almost missed a plane because the alarm didn't ring so it's important to fix it. However:
simply delete the midnight notification entry which runs CALNOT.exe

how to find this program?
I searched at "calnot.exe" in the registry: nopes, searched in windows/startup: nopes. So how to find the program that calls calnot.exe to delete it? Or just delete the file calnot.exe?
Please help

Do NOT delete the program calnot.exe! Re-read what I wrote, in particular the need for software to edit the notifications database - THAT is where the entry is which needs to be deleted.
Do not quickly skim across the post details, getting half the picture then blindly blundering around in your device - that is the fast way to a hard reset!
Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't read it well, indeed, sorry.
So I deleted calnot from the notication queue and now it has to be fixed, apart from running calnot now and then? Do you (after a run) have to delete calnot again from the queue?
No worries, I just didn't want to be the cause of a hard reset.
Generally running calnot doesn't seem to restore the notification entry, there is a special system notification entry (which I don't recommend you delete) which restores it at each soft reset.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
@mtbsoft. Thanks for you're warning. But now I have some troubble with calnot.exe : can't copy/shortcut it to startmenu as you mentioned, can't even rename the read only status and can't run it (i.e. after double clicking I don't see it in the notification database appear). Any sugestions?
Tapping on it will run it - it doesn't have a user interface so won't be visible. I think you've misunderstood about the notification - running calnot.exe manually WON'T put the notification back, that only occurs when you soft-reset.
I assume you are using the in-built File Explorer, you should be able to navigate to calnot.exe then tap and hold to select Copy. Now go to the \windows\startup folder and use the Edit menu at the bottom left to select Paste as Shortcut. calnot.exe is actually in ROM so you can't rename or delete it (easily).
It worked! I tried it several times like you described, but got the message it was in use, or something like that. But now it's ok. Thanks a lot, the alarms seems to work properly.
@mtbsoft: I found a program/tweak that may solve the problem. It's free.
Look at http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php for wakeup tweak
All wakeup tweak does (to my recollection) is adjusts the Power up timeout that so many others also do - the results are variable and it doesn't work for me. I actually found a better solution in the shape of SuperAlert from www.whittakermoore.com - finally 100% reliable.
I didn't no, learnt again something. I'll give it a try. Thanks

Willing to test this out it looks really impressive. Galaxy Nexus. I can also test on my Droid RAZR and SGS3 if that's okay?
PM sent.
REALLY impressive, I think this just kicked out all the alarm apps to my favorite right now.
Suggestions:
-Add a "alarm" icon on the notification bar when there is an alarm planned
-On the timer somehow an option to select how long I want the timer to stay on, for example with the wheel, it is quite hard to set the time to EXACTLY 32 seconds (or any other #). I would personally like to be able to click the bottom 00:00:00 and set a exact time.
--When making an alarm, then saving it, the notification label should read the EXACT time from now, example: Right now it says "Alarm will go off in 12 hours" my suggestion "Alarm will go off in 12 hours and 12 minutes"
Bugs:
-The weather at the top bar is in Celsius for me, and I went into settings and changed it to Fahrenheit
GREAT app! I love the user-friendly UI.
Bookmarked, can't wait to check back in on this one! PM if interested in testing on an i9000 CM10
Oh and a big part I left out of the bugs...
the Alarm itself is not working..
I set the alarm for 5 minutes after and it never rang.
I checked multiple times, and did not work.
Anyone else confirm?
device info: check my sig.....
Hi,
Well I just finished up doing a full test on my device. I must say this has to be on the the best beta's I've tested. It pretty
much has everything integrated in this app. Not only just sounds and settings to help you wake up but also fall asleep as well!
Here is what I came up with so far...................
set up new alarm: duplicates itself. I make one single new alarm, it shows two of them
the same name, settings etc in the window pane. I have to go and delete the duplicates
I set up new alarm and set the sound, alarm went off. Dismissed. Tried to change the sound to a different
one, test went ok but when alarm came on, it played the original sound that was first set
fix: restarted phone and it did not do that again.
using the app always sets my alarm system setting volume all the way up no matter what level I had set it previous.
Not sure how to change it ?
couple of screen lockups (graphically) when option: snooze was set to flip phone. phone was
set down normally and it showed up in landscape mode when alarm was going off. went to pick
it up and then slide the bar to dismiss it and then desktop on phone locked up half screen
black then half screen in landscape mode. (assuming reason is bc I had flip phone set on it
even though I don't have a flip phone) not sure if app should already know that its not a flip and come to a standard
setting such slide bar to dismiss alarm.
while setting up alarm, chose radio, went to test using the test button, worked, using the
slide down to end the test, music kept playing and then went to the regular set up menu where
you would set up an alarm and music playing in background and had to back out off the app to fully stop the feed for music.
GPS showed me one state away? but the weather did show up though for what it did pick up.
I also double checked my Google maps, navigation and Telenav and they did show my correct position.
sleep works just fine -the part of app to listen to while falling to sleep and the counter winds down.
nap worked just fine as well
when setting the days the alarm should go off, I selected which ones, hit save. backed out and
preview pane on GUI to the right did not always show the changes.........................
IE: all seven days were selected. Did a test. All went well, second I blacked out all the
days except for this coming Friday, set the alarm for only 4 min ahead of the current time tonight.
Now ( Friday @ 7:17pm) I hit save. It saved, but when I backed out alarm said that it was
going to go off in 5 min. When it should be saying 4days away. I had to back out of the app
all the way and then back in to it for the changes to be finalized.
attempted a second time, panel showed the changes but it did not finalize even after backing out of
app completely. alarm still went off today even though the next day it was set on was this
coming Friday.
I did a couple more tests and sometimes when the changes were made the alarm did show the correct thing. 4 days away etc... But at least the alarm does off on the time you set it to every time
alarm always goes off in Landscape mode ( not sure if that is intentional ? ) probably is.
tried to use the "reaction" for snooze, tried all 3 different setting. (assuming reaction
means shake around ) it did not work, however reaction did fine when it was set for disarm.
Made a new alarm, Icon showed up, the test went fine. Alarm went off. I changed the time to just 5 min later. changes were applied successfully. I rebooted and noticed that the Icon was gone, but alarm was still functional and went off at the desired time even though the icon was missing after a reboot.
side note:
Alarm icon shows up for me till I reboot. Had to go in to the app tap on the alarm that you have set up then back out to main GUI and icon will show back up.
When phone is standing in normal position, (portrait mode) the display will show this when you go to full screen.

If I had to put a spin on it I think it might be better if the whole time was in the same line instead of dividing it up in the two. I can see the reasoning for doing so, ( see it better while its on your night stand) but maybe an option in later releases to have it the other way?
After doing a full test on this and I'm already loving it. I know its beta and was happy to test bc this I find to be better then any other alarm app I've used.
Well that is my spin on how it runs on the EVO 3D so far.
I hope the info helps and if you have any questions / comments or anything else that you would like to me to try, drop me a line and like I said before, I'm more then happy to do so
I'm actually pretty excited about this app and looking forward to the progress that is going to be made
Tomorrow I'll be doing a full test on my back up handset ( Samsung Epic 4G) and will report in when its done.
Thanx again!,
Z.
Edit:
apparently my browser substituted and auto corrected by using the word " portrait" instead of using landscape. I went and corrected the words that they should be. Next time I'll keep an look out for that. I really do hate auto correct at times!
1stly 10/10 for putting this app together alot of nice touches like getting to sleep.
Ok here its my report on using the app for only 10 mins and trying out all the options.
The alarm only shows in landscape not portrait.
When setting alarm it shows 2 when only one selected.
When alarm is set to use radio the default ringtone and vibrate go off even when not selected.
I can not get radio station to save as default to play as alarm.
The notification icon shows but there is no text to show next alarm is set.
The volume of alarm is affected by system volumes, if system vol is silent, alarm vol don't work but vibrates even if not selected.
Might be better if you could have alarm vol independent off system, if already in place must have missed it in settings.
I had a couple out random shut outs of app when trying to use the sleep function.
Timer function worked well without any issues.
When using music as tone only,it only vibrate.
Screen not wake up when alarm goes off just hear it vibrate.
Using default alarm tones again only vibrate no tone heard.
When using the test function the last option is played eg if set to play radio when alarm goes press test key the app takes you to home screen but just vibrates, if you go back and change the tone to music, pressing test will take you to home screen but this time hear radio for 2-5secs then cuts out, comes back again but it's very choppy.
Listening to radio via app when not set works well.
The same happens with all settings of music.
Starting to get unexplained closes and stopping.
Will give further feed back once tried it out for longer.

Second Beta Release - Beta Test on EVO 3D CDMA
Device info: Check Sig....
add new alarm - duplicate problem solved
GPS still showing the wrong area for me at least ( not sure if anyone else having same issue)
When setting up an alarm, as you pick your time that is all well and good,
But as you pick your sound and hit back to go to the rest of the settings to
save / test and other options..it auto saves it and goes back to main GUI saying
alarm will trigger in ...... minutes.
Basically as soon as you choose the sound of your liking, it backs up to the main GUI and
saves the settings and engages the alarm.
When choosing option "speak time" as the alarm, it does not say anything.
After choosing your sound to wake up to and then going back in to the settings to set
up the rest, when your satisfied and choose "test" screen pops up. I used the slide bar
to end the test. Sound kept playing.
Using the sound settings, I chose music. The usual preview did not play as you scroll
through the stations.
Did a timer test. Chose a specific sound. Settings were set for reaction to snooze, and slide to
disarm. Reaction did not work. ( shook it around). I slide to disarm. I had a graphical error, screen froze up, sound kept playing and took about 20 seconds of hitting my home button to get back to my main screen.
Second test w/ timer, it hit 0 and did not go off, then did a 3rd, sound kept playing. The slide to dismiss and reaction did not work as well. Took about 25 sec for it to f/c and get me back to my home screen.
When adjusting the days, pop up shows the correct setting. “ alarm will trigger in 3 days etc..” but the smaller window pane does not change.
IE: MTW are in blue, you black out MT then choose save. Pop up says 2 days will trigger etc, back out to the main GUI and the smaller alarm window will still show MTW in blue. I found out that the only time the smaller alarm window will show the black out dates right away is only if you test the alarm. Then it will show correctly in the smaller alarm window right away. I've done this several times and every other time I used slide to dismiss, it stuck on a black screen for about 10 sec or so and did not dismiss right away.
Testing out the sleep function. Chose music and first run out, could not find stream. Second run on music setting, timer running but no sound then f/c.
Also tested it out using sound, seemed to be just fine. Started and stopped as it should. In some of the sounds though you can hear the “tisk” or the hiccup when it loops though. I know extremely minor but just being thorough.
Alarm test w/ music
settings : Button for snooze, slider for dismiss. Did more multiple test w/ music. I had the option to disarm w/ slide. Once running, slide down then pop up says alarm will trigger …... and then was stuck on a black screen. I had to hit the home button to get my screen back to the norm.
Not sure if the app is supposed to do this, but if you do set your system volume alarm level say at 50 % after you test the alarm , It will auto adjust your system setting to 100% but if the alarm officially goes off and you dismiss it, it seems to stay about half the time, the other half it will re adjust.
Set alarm, Icon shows in status bar, backed all the way out, checked a couple of text / email etc. I rebooted,
alarm icon is not showing but alarm did go off at its designated time set though. Slide to dismiss and it went right to the home screen as it should and then icon re appeared in the corner as the alarm was set to all 7 days at that same time.
Still only executes alarm in landscape mode.
Option to slide over clock to change brightness: slide over the clock and it did get brighter but it did not get dimmer swiping from right to left or doing the left to right over again.
Reaction was not working for me at all , I also had that on setting "easiest" Just to confirm, "reaction" does it mean to pick up or shake it or ?
For the last test, I did set the alarm for 10:55 it saved or well auto saved after choosing my sound in the settings, I backed out of the app completely. I went back in to the app and turned the alarm Off. The icon went away. The alarm still went off at 10:55 even though in the app it says Off.
I was glad to see some of the progress on this app so soon keep it up and looking forward to the next release. If I can find the time today I will test out the second on my back up epic 4G and report on that as well. Probably would've have had it done already but wanted to test out the second release on the same handset first.

PM sent incase you need more testers
Update to app already.. Wow that was fast.
Here is a list of bugs that affect me.
Still can't get radio to work with alarm.
Vibrate still coming on even if selected not to.
Ringers not changing always plays 1st tone even when different tone selected.
Screen not coming on.
When dismissing alarm the tone/vibrate still constantly playing.
What is working after update.
Music tone now playing/working when alarm rings, and only one alarm set when selected.
Will test more today and report back.
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
fixed : when choosing sound, when it does preview and hitting the back button does
not auto save the alarm.
fixed: when testing sound alarm, does not keep going after closing. ( slide to close as option)
fixed: let alarm set as programmed to, volume was set at 75% for the system, the alarm did go off
and it went off at the specified volume that was set for the system.
Snooze set to reaction ( shook the hell outta hit ) didn't work. On the easiest setting level
Went and set alarm, it did go off, but then re adjusted the days, so it wouldn't go off
for another 2 days, the small window on the main GUI didn't update ( or show the blacked off days)
pop up said it was correct when hitting save , but still show blue for all the days. It did
show up when backing out of the app and going back in that the correct days were shown.
Timer function : tested on the sound setting ... works perfectly .. used slide to dismiss...
Sleep funtion. : tested on the sound setting..... works perfectly
test 3 - used alarm and setting on music. music preview played perfect and went off w/ out a hitch
the test is working correctly for my device now. When I choose to slide to dismiss it has no lag
anymore and doesn't hack up the screen.
Fixed : doesn't re adjust my system volume anymore for alarm. But this will still go off
at full blast. any possible attempt at a volume setting on the app?
. LOL we probably need it it full blast in order to wake up... we need to wake up .
Alarm went off, ( set to music, picked dubstep ) and it went off w/ out a hitch . Just loving the hell
outta this thing now!
I would wonder though, is there anyway to in corporate a volume setting w/in the app itself so that
way we can adjust? But loving this already.
I also wanted to know is it possible to have a mock spread sheet for things to test for? it would
be easier that way as I just wing it every time but I try to be thourough when I do testing as
I appreciate all the hard work that has gone in to this and want to make it better
When setting alarm . Using the option " speak time" still does not work or function.
I did let it go off, and yet no voice. If it all possible, if and when it does become availble please
include mutiple voices if you get a chance... thanx...

Edit :
I actually have off work today and ....Will be testing on my Backup device - Epic 4G today and will post results.... I

Hi.
Same problem here - could you write down the steps you made so i can give it a try?
Thanks
there is a whitelist.ini file (that is of you coppied the MTC Manager files like Malaysk says to do) inside you can just write down the tasker process (net.dinglisch.android.taskerm). it will be kept alive during sleep
while you are there also add poweramp process (com.maxmpz.audioplayer) (that is if you are using poweramp)
that will make poweramp resume playing automatically when resuming from sleep.
anyone know how to do this without xposed? PX5 units doesn't have xposed support yet.
I haven't found a way. I've been through every APK in /system looking for the task killer, no luck at all
Sent from my 2PS64
Hi,
I don't have a fix, but a short-cut. I've set a homescreen widget to launch a Tasker Task (which can just be a pop-up saying "Tasker is now running"), that way when I start up the unit it's one tap on the homescreen, Tasker loads, runs the task, and then remains in the background. This does save you opening the Tasker app and then backing out again.
This initial task can also be used to load up other items you'd rather have running all the time (I'm using Twilight and GMD Immersive) - if you do this it's worth putting in a slight delay between each (I've gone for 500 MS) and then launching the Home app as the last item to put you back where you were.
Ideally I'd want Tasker resuming after sleep, but until that's an option "one tap and it's there" will have to do.
I can successfully run widgetupdatet and musicproxy on my uis7862 unit.
But I think i need to make it start at boot/wakeup and also make it not battery optimized
So for start at boot/wake up, i turn it on with User - application. But this make widgetupdater app show up everytime when unit boot up, which i prefer it to hidden
For battery optimized setting, I don't have battery option from my setting menu.
May I have your advice on this?
@KёniG
Thanks

cool, thanks. Let me try this app on my unit for battery setup part
May I know how about the startup part, anyway I can make the app screen do not popup and make a more silent startup?
(for my firmware, I can make app startup automatically in settings -> user -> application settings
Thanks again
@KёniG
I've switched to paid version and turn on "silent start" seems it will just flash then go away which is good now.
However I don't find the way to open the app to change settings anymore (don't see the icon at notification menu) . need to wipe out the app data to get back to setting screen

My answer above is about silent start up.
If you have the restricted notification bar it is required to reinstall the app to enter settings. Silent mode is not appropriate way for you.

Thanks, so either I can still choose silent startup but need to reinstall app if i need to change settings
Or
I dont make it silent startup but i will see the setting screen everytime the unit starts?
and one last thing
After I use musicproxy+widgetupdater. When I use my wheel button - "mode" to change the source, it will go through radio, Phone, Bluetooth music, then my specified music player, then stopped if i press "mode" again. Originally, the next app is the map and then loop back to radio. Is it normal behaviour?
Thank you so much
Played a bit more, seems AIMP is working fine to loop the button cycle.
Your problem got solved?

silent startup still make the app no longer configurable but is ok as I don't think need to always configure that often.
For wheel button issue, I find out is my specific app (KKBox) issue. If I change to AIMP or another music app then is working fine to cycle the sources.
And i think a setting which is quite useful for me is "Multiple music app" which will show current playing app info in that widget area
Hello,
I'm curious I can get some help. I have an android box that hooks up to my TV. I have an app I use called "Key Mapper" that allows me to remap my keyboard keys so I can create shortcuts. One of the issues I find with the app is that sometimes I have to exit out of it and reopen it and re-enable accessibility within the App.
In Android Settings I already have accessibility enabled so it should be good, but when I reboot the device it seems to always stop working until I close out of the process and re-open it up.
My theory is that maybe I need to delay the auto boot of the application. It starts up with Android automatically but if I can have it delayed start that may resolve the issue. Is there an app or some way I can adjust the auto boo setting to delay it say 10 seconds after Android loads up?

After your OS finishes booting and loads the full OS stack, a system-wide message called Broadcast Intent will be sent to all apps, notifying them that your device has completed booting (this intent is called BOOT_COMPLETED). Then it's up to the individual app to use that broadcasted intent to pre-load in memory whatever they want (or simply not react at all).
The thing is you want to delay auto boot for that specific application, so there are 2 options for that:
you turn off auto boot in the App itself (if it provides such an option).
you block the app from receiving the intent broadcasted.
The second option is also achieved either by using a task killer to force kill the app (which defeats your point IMO) or it manipulate the app from receiving the intent entirely. Both of these options require root access.
If you have root I suggest The App: SD maid (pro version). Under app control you can modify which system Broadcasts that Keymapper recieves (among them could be boot_completed). See attached screenshot from my device for example.
Hope I helped somehow
Thank you for your response. That was super helpful! The device I am playing around with is a Mekotronics R58x, and it had some sort of modified root that was conflicting with Magisk. I read somewhere on these forums that someone suggested renaming the su file if it exists in /system/xbin/su; which it did. I renamed it and rebooted and after that everything worked wonderfully. Keymapper was still autobooting like previously, but this time all the services loaded right up and I didn't have to restart the app it just worked.
Basically I think the issue was this custom su file that was conflicting with Magisk and causing a headache with the keymapper. I'm glad I stumbled across the fix, but either way your post was also very helpful! Thank you!
