Alarm Clock for wizard Help

[haz4u]

hi, i have problems with wizards alarm and i was wondering,
dose any one have or know any good third party alarm clock software?

[marsonist]

someone else in another forum here asked a similar question. My favorite bar none is Chronos. I've used it for a year or so and have never once missed an alarm

[haz4u]

where do i get this Chronos?

[mcwarre]

Firstly, ever heard of google?

Secondly, don't bother it will not wake up the device from standby so it is effectively useless.....

[marsonist]

Says who it won't wake a device out of standby? I use my wizard as an alarm clock to wake me up in the morning. After 8 hours it is most definitely in standby.

Agreed, google is your friend, you should be able to find a trial of Chronos on any of the normal pocket pc software sites (handango, pocketgear, etc.)

Try the trial and see if it fixes your problem... I would be willing to bet that it does.

Errmmm,

I have the trial version (so it is the latest and not cracked or illegal); it does not wake the K-Jam out of standby (especially when snooze feature is used). This is also the case for my wife's XDA Mini S as well. Alarms are a well known problem on the Wizard; you must be a lucky one.

Hi,

Give pTravelAlarm a shot...
It's really great... it does wake up the device - and it turns it into an effective alarm clock. Really nice. Using it on all my business travels.

Google pTravelAlarm

Oh, and it also has a today plugin. Great little proggy.

WELL i have installed it. (pTravel Alarm) and it dose not wake up.

the simple way of doing this if anyone wants to use this software is that you use th wizards standard alarm to wake the wizard and then time it to set off after 1 min.

After my hardreset i did not install SPB pocketplus and my wizard never missed an alarm again. Although some people with pocketplus do not experience any alarm trouble i will stay away from it.

Also there is a free program called "check notifications" or something like it. It searches for duplicates/corruptions in your notification database. (probably responsible for the problems)

i'ts a standalone .exe file that you can copy to your ppc and then run from there. I heard it does wonders...

You know what, i will attach it to this post as an extra service :)

THANKS

if i remove the duplicate file will take currupt my Wizard?

[leploep]

eeehm i have no clue as to what you're asking here :shock:

But i guess the question is about the notification checker :)

just run it on your pda,you'll get a list of all your notifications (alarms), it will show the duplicates in red to delete.

the file will not take corrupt your wizard, but don't give your corruption wizard taking of the database :lol:

I've been using Chronos on my K-Jam with the original and new ROM and it works a treat, waking me from stand-by, snoozing etc.

check out http://www.activekitten.com/en/games/detail.php?ID=351 for more info and a trial... their support is great as well... let 'em know how you find it for you on your machine

[meschle]

try Mobialarm 3.2 - works for me and plays most types of media files including wma. And its free :D

AHHHHH

This is driving me crazy.

Downloaded, installed and looked really good BUT......

When the alarm goes off and I press dismiss, it just keeps on vibrating.

I cannot stop it NOTHING I have done short of going to my running programs list and KILLING the app stops it vibrating.

Is it just me???????

not good. it's done that to me, only once on the original (pre AKU2) ROM but I've not seen it do that since. might be worth a support request just to let 'em know

I use mp3alarmpro.net and it wakes my k-jam just fine and without fail..

Best part is you can choose any mp3 or wav file from any folder in your device :D

How did you download this?
Each time I try their download link it takes me to their site map page.

[OffBeatMammal]

seems to be broken. have sent an email to the ActiveKittens to find out what's broken! Hopefully they're just releasing v2.9....

[pewe]

Thanks Offbeat - I will keep an eye on the site.

[marsonist]

I've had the vibration problem with Chronos myself. When I set an alarm, I go to the Actions tab and click on Vibration settings. If you specify a fixed time for the vibration the program will respect that every time. It's not a perfect fix, but it works for the moment.

[Trets]

I use a tiny little program called "GSAlarmClock". Works perfect (also out of standby).

I just found a later version here.

Very simple but effective. Ideal as an alarm clock (which I miss since I stopped using my Mobile Phone.)

[Trets]

Ups, sorry Pewe, you're right, I use the same one, just messed up the name. I got it at pocketpcfreewares.com.
