wm6 spb time

[shockboy2000]

hello, anyone else have issues with alarms not sounding when setup through spb time ?

the alarm is actually triggered, appears on screen - just no sound !
this has happened several days in a row with diff alarm sounds.

last night i set a normal windows mobile alarm and setup a spb time alarm for 1/2 hour later. They both fired but still no sound from the spb time alarm.

If you know the way around this, can you please post the answer.

SBP Time is not compatible with WM6. They do not list it as being compatible (as they do with some of their products) - see SPB Time Product Page (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/time/?en). I have had this issue in the past on WM6 on the Uni and now steer clear of SPB Time except on WM5.

Same here, no sound

ah ok, thanks for pointing out the wm6 compatability issue.

thought it was just me the first couple of days..somehow sleeping through the alarm. when u press the dismis button it does play the sound for a second or two though..crazy.

anyway, at least spb_time displays the time ok as its name suggests it should :)

Actually, you may find it doesn't display the correct time. I found it is sometime a minute or so behind (as sometimes is the clock on the taskbar in WM6)!!!

Anyone have a suggestion for an alarm clock program with will work??

[shockboy2000]

the standard wm6 alarms work fine, whilst u can use spb to display time on the today plugins

Have you tried the "Wakeup Tweak" (on the options page)?
Works fine for me here.

Interesting. I had the same problem with or without the tweak. I'm currently trying out Chronos by ActiveSync which is working well, but they don't have the nice Today plug-in like SPB time...

[wonderboygr]

works fine here, no probs, wakeup tweak enabled

have never missed any alarm.

indeed, time lags a few seconds

I had a weird thought... I know I enabled wakeup tweak but it still didn't work. Now I'm thinking probably should have done a reset in between, otherwise did the tweak really install... Will try again and report back.

[Doodle]

How is that possible. Mine also has no sound, whether the wake up tweak is enabled or disabled. Do you use wm06?

[wgary]

Applied tweak, reset, still no sounds.

[wonderboygr]

hope the following will help. this is what i have done in my htc x7500
1. in spb time options, wake up tweak enabled.
2. spb time screensaver disabled
3. wm6 settings, sounds and notifications, check events (warnings, system events), programs notifications (alarms, reminders)
4. wm6 alarms all three disabled.
5. in wm6 power options, uncheck power off device if not used for xxx minutes, for both battery and ac power
6. in wm6 backlight options, do what you like.

then soft reset ( i do it after i make any changes)

hope it works now for you

however

i will make a video to show you it works and upload it to youtube, will be tonight though, still at work

i fact will make a video with all the settings i use. the latest version of spbtime worked
from day 1 i installed it with the dopod wm6 rom.

now i use pk2, which is based on the same rom

just give me some time, will be around midnight, local time, athens , greece

please give me feedback if with the above settings, the spb alarm workrd

With regards to step 5, won't this have a negative impact on battery life???

[wonderboygr]

so far, battery lasts 3 days this way. you are certainly right that with the power off checked the battery life will increase dramatically, but for the sake of the spb alarm, this is how it works for my x7500.

have the settings i use in my x7500 solved the spb alarm problem?

I already have battery issues. I tried everything but step 5, with no success. Apparently that is the key. I have gone back to Chronos, which isn't quite as nice but at least it works without a battery drain...

[wonderboygr]

wgary, just to let you know that with the official htc rom wm6 (europe) and without any tweaks (apart from the spb tweak in its options), spb functions normally.

could it be an issue of dopod rom? do not know...

or maybe the use of other programs may interact with spb time?

just a thought... have you tried the wm6 fix sound? just in case? ( look for it in pk 2 thread)

this is really weird stuff man...

sorry for not uploading the video on time, had little time and probs with pc
will do so as soon as possible

[last2kn0]

Please try updating your version of SPB Time to the latest version. I did some forum spelunking and found that they had a new version that fixed this problem. My friend and I just tried it on our Tytns and it worked for both of us... even with the phone in standby!

Good luck.

[redz1234]

Imma give the new version a try. According to their site the new version is 2.2.1. I just installed it and noticed the "Wakeup Tweak" option is now gone. Maybe this is for the best. Will let you know in the morning how everything went.

Not to bump a month old post. Since it was stated that the Wake-Up Tweak has been removed. I'd like to point out that it looks as if they were requested to remove it - their manual now says "Please try the WakeUp Tweak from BurOak Software" with a link to the website. This would usually imply that it is not an automatic fix, but rather a request ot have it removed.

Worth noting.

I've never had issues with other alarm programs. But this one seems to be giving me fits on WM6. Going to try the Wake Up Tweak. It doesn't seem to fire off, even when plugged into AC (I believe I have it set to never sleep on AC).

Since I upgraded to the newest version of SPB Time that doesn't have the (Wake-Up Tweak) I haven't had one issue. I use the alarm every night and haven't run into any issues so I can say for sure this app works flawless w/ WM6 now.

..agreed :)

I was having big problems wih alarms not reinitiating after dismissing. The latest version has been perfect.

[dagdedan2]

same here.... spb time works great on wm6.

i'm useing the same version on my uni and makes no problems.

the version is:2.1.5 build 949

[lukevi]

Hi, I read this posts and I have the same problem.

I have P3600 with original WM5 and use Spb Time version 2.1.5 Build 949.
At the beginning when I install spb time, it works fine for a long period.
Now in last period it don't sounds alarm in the morning.

I search the net for this problem and I see there is a program, sktools, that erase old system notifications.
When I have this problem I clean this notifications, soft reset and the alarm works again!

The same problem I have with the system alarm too so I think there isn't a spb time problem but a system notifications problem that after some weeks is full of old alarm notifications and new alarm don't works.

There is a solution to this problem ? :(

[eaglesteve]

I never have any such problem, so I'm puzzled why so many of you are having the same issue.

I've used it without problem on both WM6 and WM6.1. No tweaks of anykind needed.

My version is 2.2.2 build 1312. Never tried the older versions that some of you have mentioned. May be that's the problem of the older version, already fixed in the one that I'm using.

Tried it on stock ROM, irus ROM, PK ROM. Currently runnning on irus-taxist ultra lite version 2. No problem whatsoever.

Oh, forgot to mention that I don't use its screen saver though I'm not sure if this would cause any problem. I have about more than half a dozen different alarms in there. I also set my today plugin location as "local" instead of Sydney. I notice that there is a strange one hour difference between the two which could not be accounted for by day light saving. I did notice there are a few seconds difference between the time in SPB time and the time I have on my taskbar, but 1 minute difference some of the time is not a real issue. I don't use the default window mobile alarm anymore. I like the loud alarm and big buttons of SPB time. Also if I don't do anything it automatically snoozes and continue to remind me. I used to have chronos but have forgotten why I made the switch now.l

[lukevi]

If you have 2.2.2 version I think the problem is my old 2.1.5 Build 949 version ?

Only way to know is for you to try out the newer version I guess. Good luck.

[redz1234]

If you haven't done so. Upgrade. I was having the same issues as most mentioned within the thread. Once I did the upgrade I haven't had 1 issue since. Check the posts above as I did mention this once before back in December.

Do you talk about upgrade Spb Time or from WM5 to WM6 ?

Upgrade to the latest build of Time.

I've not had any issues with it despite playing with a load of WM5, WM6 and WM6.1 ROMs on my X7500 and P3600.

[Noobish]

I had the same issue with SPB alarms and installed the latest version from the SPB website based on the comments here. It works well with no issues:D. Still to see if the midnight process messes it up - will post tomorrow
