Hi,

I've got two niggly problems with my TyTN:

1. Despite having the power options set to 'turn off device if not used for' set to '2 minutes' the phone never actually powers off, the backlight goes off but I can still see the screen text and buttons remain active. (the only thing running in the background is Spb Pocket Plus).

2. Two days ago I set the alarm for 6.30 AM, it went off, i then adjusted it to 7.30 AM. This morning the alarm went off at 6.30 AM and 7.30 AM (I double checked the settings and there is only one alarm set).

PS. I also have a keyboard which doesn't respond perfectly to every key press although I am finding this is improving the more I use it.

I add point 3) e 4) :
3) Sometimes when alarm rings I can't see nothing... no Notification...just the ring...therefor I can't stop it!!!

4) It's happened two times... I set sound off... through comm.manager ( I'M SURE) and after a while when my friends called me the phone rang! It's strange don't u think?

In my TyTN this problem seems to be connected to phone module. In fact when the phone module is inactive, my TyTN correctly sleeps. Moreover when it is in charge and when the backlight off timeout is set to greater time than sleep timeout, I can observe that the device correctly sleeps.

this happened to me yesterday! Alarm ringing but no notification and no chance to turn it off!
After 3 hours the red led was still flashing and the problem was there...
Solution? Hard reset :evil:

3) Can happen if you go and remove alarms from the notification queue, for example memmaid can be used to do this.

I had this same problem on my TyTN, also could be fixed using MemMaid - the old alarms stopped ringing after deleting the clock.exe entries in the Notification queue.
However, the alarms STILL aren't working ok, because any time I set a new alarm when it rings I don't get any notification so I can dismiss it, so it keeps ringing until I delete it again using MemMaid. Any idea of how can I fix this?

Thank you.

I deleted all the entries using MemMaid... then I soft-reset and now I don't have any problem using alarm! Notification appears again so I can stop it!

I have exactly the same problem on my 838Pro now (used to have this happened to me on my 818Pro as well. Didn't know what to do, so I hard-reset).

Marques, are you able to try what El_Mar1ach1 has tried, that is to delete all Clock entries using MemMaid and do a soft-reset? Create new alarm using Clock and see if you get any notification.

I could have tried that myself, but unfortunately my unit is in the service centre, and won't be getting it back until tomorrow or day after. :(

I have a good restore on my storage card that will bring this problem back for me to try when I get my unit back, so that at least if this happens again in the future, we will all know how to resolve it.

Yesterday wasn't working. Today I tryed again the same procedure and it's back to normal. Working again...

Meanwhile I installed PocketAlarm (http://pocketalarm.iit-bsuir.com/indexen.htm) and I'm starting to use it instead of the system alarm.

Do you guys know any other nice alarm applications to test it out?
