Wow... Alarm...

[bigflavor]

Last week, I spent the week covering a floor; waking up at 4:15AM. I set triple alarms, the phone as the last at 4:20 (set to weekdays).

I changed the alarm to 4:15PM (every day) for saturday, at which it sounded.

I shut the alarm off last night.

The alarm sounded at 4:20 this morning. :eek: The alarm is set to off, and changed to 4:15PM (every day).

Any idears?

What fun.


Thanks,

Matt

I've never liked the internal Alarm feature (too unreliable for me).
I better use Gentimer (from Rivia) that allows me to set several different alarms, set Recurrence patterns (everyday, weekdays...), volume, repetition, alarm sound...

[bigflavor]

tried to set both types of alarms: reset "everyday," reset "weekdays" to a new time.

Still signaling at 4:20


I just deleted: [HKCU\System\State\Shell\Alarms\] binary: Next
But I have a feeling that will have no affect, since it's in the system state, which I believe is read-only.


Does anyone know where the alarm info is kept in the registry?


Thanks,

Matt

How you could set three alarms with default alarm feature? It can set only one alarm at time..
If some alarm is still bugging you it's definitely written in the notification queue database. You need some app that can display it and delete appropriate record. If you won't find any, i can provide you my debug one..

Alright, I've obtained SKTools (http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_downloads.html#lite). There are a lot of items in my Notification Queue, some seem critical.

Can someone help me narrow down which item(s) I should delete?


Start if time changes \\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\SSTimeChange; AppRunAfterTimeChange
Start if time changes \\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\TimeWizardTimeChange ; AppRunAfterTimeChange
Start if time changes \\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\TimeWizardWakeUp; AppRunAfterWakup
Start if time changes calnot.exe; AppRunAfterTimeChange

Start on timer sqmevent.exe;2007/12/26 13:06; AppRunAtTime
Start on timer \Windows\TimeWizard.exe;2008/01/04 18:06; AppRunAtTime

Start after restore from backup calnot.exe; AppRunAfterRestore

Start if RS232 connection has been detected repllog.exe; AppRunAtRs232Detect

NOTIFICATION_EVENT_RNDIS_FN_DETECTED repllog.exe; AppRunAfterRnsdisFnDetected


Entries can probably safely be narrowed down by process name?

None of them is alarm.. Default alarm would have record with process \Windows\clock.exe and would be scheduled to you time. You can check that by setting an alarm and reviewing the notification queue..

However, if you set the alarm using built-in settings, it shouldn't bother you anymore.

You are correct, sir.

No longer sounding at 4:20. I slept through the night. Amazing.

Anyway... I'm not sure what I did to solve it.

Just to summerize: you're saying tha tnay entry with \Windows\clock.exe and a time is an alarm entry. So if there are artifact alarms, deleting these entries from the Notification Queue (which you can do with free SKToolslite {link above}) delete the alarms; because these Notification Queue entries are the alarms.


Thanks!
