Thanks for sharing. I will try your app. and i suggest if you can add a confirmation for stopping the alarm like cradlealarm and no need for the labyrinth for the snooze option so i think your app. will be perfect. Thanks again.

[schwalbach]

Hey,

Love this program, it looks awesome..

Just a suggestion, can we edit patterns for alarms as like every other friday?

I have the same classes on mon/wed, and on tues/thurs, and then I have my mon/wed classes my first friday, then next friday I have the tues/thurs classes, etc.

Any way to do this?

[chiekh]

The app crashs when i try to define the playList.

Can you paste the error details?

and i suggest if you can add a confirmation for stopping the alarm like cradlealarm and no need for the labyrinth for the snooze option so i think your app.

there is already a question if you really want to stop the alarm. I still like the idea of the labyrinth, but you can turn it off in the settings...

Just a suggestion, can we edit patterns for alarms as like every other friday?

Good point - I'll add it as soon as possible


QVGA:
It just came to my mind that G-Alarm might not work on QVGA devices because of wrong scaling of the labyrinth! Dear QVGA user, please report me, if the labyrinth work or not so I can work on it!

Thanks

I can't read the error ;-) can you enlarge it or send it to the mail adress which is on my page: www.ageye.de (http://www.ageye.de).
Is it during the alarm or when you try to add some mp3s to the playlist?
does it work with mp3s which are not on your storage card?
thanks for submitting the bugs!

[m00moo]

Error also.

Cant read others as its in chinese on my HTC (not your fault lol just i set chinese on my phone)

Would be cool and my best option if this works!
love the way it looks and usability! simple and effective although i wouldnt use the labyrinth lol

good work!

EDIT: btw im using a diamond also :)

[spupuz]

very good work but pls solve problems :D

[custardo01]

Hi

HTC Touch Cruise - "Unexpected error....... An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it can be found."

I've tried them all and they have all let me down. Most of them cause a problem with muting sound on the phone. I've recently pulled an old t610 sony ericsson out of the drawer which works perfectly - alarm every 10 mins for an hour 100% reliability.

Hope you succeed. Love the look of that snooze button:)

Error occurs when pressing playlist "add" button. I get details of the error but it is about 20 lines long.

[drmidnight]

Great work man!:D

I have been looking around for something like this. I have trouble staying awake after my alarm goes off in the morning. The maze idea is brilliant.

My main phone is qvga though and this works its just impossible to complete the maze because of the resolution. It should be as simple as downsizing the maze.


Keep up the good work!

[S.V.I]

QVGA does not work.. :( it is unfortunate.
I love the fact that it plays WMA files, as the most obnoxiously loud file on my phone is a track i made to be WMA. I originaly designed it as a ringtone, but have not been able to use it for an alarm though. now I can. maybe you should not fix the maze. it makes turning the alarm off impossible. :D

do you plan to have random mazes every morning?
will it have an arangable playlist or do I have to rename files?
will there be an included user guide for all of the features (which you have not included yet)?
will this sound off when the volume is disabled?
will it vibrate?

I guess the most important thing is that this program will not sleep when the phone falls asleep. otherwise I cant wake up for work. and usualy when that happens, i am late almost an hour :(

thank you so much for working on this project. I have been using a very old program called PocketAlarmMp3 which has stopped development over a year ago.
the one thing I love about that progam is it's ability to select repeat intervals for the MP3 you Re trying to play
(duration/ repeat rate 60s-Whole / every 3min-inf)
it is a very complicated setup in the old program, but has a lot of options and has been very reliable.
I hope to switch to yours soon.

[fredcatsmommy]

would love to test a qvga version.

[wilderer]

nice program! i missed a tool like that. could you please make the clock setting more fingerfriendly. so when tapping on:


--------
|//////| - up - set hour, minute, second upward
|//////|
--------
|//////|
|//////| - down - set hour, minute, second downward
--------

i also get the FormatException error. Also the Maze cannot finish on QVGA.

[stanglifemike]

waiting on qvga......;)

an unexpected error has occured in galarmreloaded everytime i restart my phone or try to test or change a setting

Hi Great work there, maybe you could team up/ get help with this other programmer who also made a G alarm software for HTC diamond

To keep you up to date:
- my alarm clock woke me up this morning ;-) so it works... great!
- I have to go to work now - I think I'll release next version with QVGA support and at least most of the bugfixes tonight (GMT +1)

Answers to your questions:
- Clock setting more finger friendly: Got it! Will include it!
- Random mazes: of course! or at least mazes with ascending difficulty. if you snooze you get a more difficult one... Propably there will be also other methods - not only mazes...
- playlist is already arangable (see the "up"/"down" buttons - make use that the "Random" checkbox is not checked!)
- User guide follows
- If the system volume is off, G-Alarms sound is off... I'll add an option if it should ring although system volume is off
- Vibration option will follow...
- Klaxon (the other alarm clock): Well, Klaxon is Klaxon and G-Alarm is G-Alarm... G-Alarm works also on other devices than the diamond and will have options to use tilt sensor or not... Klaxon was made exclusive for the Diamond

Thank you for testing it! You help me a lot!!!

cool tried it and errors have vanished (well for now anyways), also alarm sounded on the very second :) great job! will me my new alarm clock from now ;)


Thanks

[wilderer]

no more errors here and the maze works now! thanks!

[custardo01]

Hi

Touch Cruise - it let me select the sound file this time and set the alarm. When the alarm went off the volume was very low (lower than system volume) and then an error message appeared (many lines). Tried to quit the error details and everything froze had to soft reset. No error recorded to alarms.xml file because of the crash I suppose. I don't have a screen capture programme but it probably would not have worked anyway.The problem occurred also when Testing alarm.

If you really want the error details I can do the process again and will have to type out the error manually for you.

[spupuz]

now it work is so amazing.

....or you could install "My Mobiler" (from here (http://www.mymobiler.com)) to see your PPC screen on your desktop; then, when G-Alarm crashes, you can copy the screen to the clipboard or save it to a file and then post it here :D

Saves you an evening of typing .NETCF errors ;)

Thank you! Hope it works.

Thank you for the screenshots (and sorry that you had to softreset your device twice now)... It seems to me that this is related to the fade-in.
Please uncheck "Fade-In" in the options of the alarm and try it again.
If there's still an error could you please post the details again? If not, tell me, so I can work on the fade in mechanism
Thank you!

No more errors.
Works fine on my Touch (danish ROM)

That was it! Works fine now thank you. I did try the fade option again to make sure and the errors came back but managed to end it with task manager so no soft reset.

I like that you can see everything clearly with the large buttons. Would be good if it would go to background on pressing snooze or a way to go to the home page and it would be great to have a finger friendly settings page.

Thank you again. Nice job.

It's not work on my ATOM. Please see the attached images.

I had tested on : enable Fade in + Show maze , not enable Fade in, not enable Show maze, not of them, file sound only form Storage Card, file sound only from Device (the default rings file of ROM).
It just show the Alarm screen (look like the screenshots at first post) in about 2s, no sound has been played , and then error message ...

(after install, i had rebooted my ATOM).
And, another question, can maze work with FtouchSL ?

Looks great so far!! I set an alarm for later on this day and tested it, worked great so far and I love being able to set mp3's as alarms. Please keep up the work on this program, I need a good alarm and will be more than happy to donate to keep this going.

Transferring funds to my paypal account now...

It looks definitely great and I'm going to give it a try on my Kaiser :D.

I found a solution for both problems but it needs some time to implement it... Propably I can release the next version tomorrow.
stay tuned

btw: what is "FtouchSL"?

[khristopher13]

It should work just fine wth FTouchSL ... you will just need to add the g-alarm window to the exception list.

[deuzeff]

Hi there,

This morning, the alarm run off w/o any problem, I disabled first the ThrottleLock (see my sig), then snooze cause getting up immediately I can't :P. Then put the phone away w/o doing any further thing. I was surprised the snooze never came :eek:, always stayed in bed for the day (and almost happened as S.V.I proposed :D)

I'll try to reproduce the effect, it could be that the phone tried to switch off the screen but then ThrottleLock poped up and blocked the G-Alarm. I'll edit when I find out. Great app :).

[spupuz]

this morning worked with no problem... only suggestion is to make possible to make the snooze appear on top of s2u2? :D

[deuzeff]

Yeah that's my "problem" with ThrottleLock too :).

[ageye]

Yeah that's my "problem" with ThrottleLock too :).

That's strange. I'll make G-Alarm more "aggressive" to obtain topmost state of all windows.

HTH - but I don't know when exactly this bugfix is done. Have to work a lot these days...

[stanglifemike]

This app is working great for me so far. I use S2U2 and not ThrottleLock. I am pleased, the only thing that I could request is more finger friendly. Thanks again for a great alarm!!

[ageye]

New version online: v0.2!

Some remarks:

- I changed the fade in mechanism. It should work now on all devices! Please check if you encounter any problems with fade in activated and if the fade in algorithm actually fades the music in ;-)
- I implemented an alternative playback method for those users who get this "COM object" - error when an alarm starts. Please try this playback mode and tell me if the errors vanish. You find this under "Options" on the start screen...
- It should work now with ThrottleLock - Please tell me, if that is right!

Some people told me that sometimes the alarm doesn't start on some devices (it just blinks and then turns off again).
You see that I have no idea, so please: if you encounter this problem please send me some details when the error occurs

[stanglifemike]

Very cool, I have had no problems so far with the first QVGA version. Thanks for the update :)

Hi thanks for the work ageye!

Message edited: I can unlock ThrottleLock, in opposition to what I wrote previously in this post but for some reason it more "difficult", I have to press more on the screen than if I unlock in other case, when G-Alarm didn't wake up the screen by itself (I am not under drugs :)). ThrottleLock still pops up on top of the G-Alarm.

Very cool that we can disable the "closing" message :), good idea !

[S.V.I]

IT seems to work great. I forgot to turn the sound on, and woke up late looking at the maze.

How do you feel about RETRO clock?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344870
The creator is releasing the source for it, as well as the clock editor program.
This would allow you to easyly turn this into a today plugin and have it be easy to customize.
The idea that came to me is that this plugin uses an alarm hand (for 1 sys alarm) and it could also be something you could incorporate into setting the alarm... for example like the finger friendly volume changer where you scroll around the center to set the alarm.

anyway, I will make some sketches, and send it to you. might be very cool and interesting :)

Something like this?? If you visit the thread that it is on you will see just how small, simple the skins can be made cooler than anything!

[melkhatt]

hello, thank you for this app.
I have one request: what about an option to continue playin' the playlist, not just one track ?

[krheinwald]

After uninstalling G-Alarm, I get a 'Notification Error: Could not launch GAlarmReload.exe' everyday at midnight. Soft-Reset die not help.

Any ideas?

Not so good with version 0.2 on my Touch Cruise. I set the alarm for the morning all ok with fade in option ticked and force volume ticked. Set up a test alarm just to make sure and the alarm went off with no sound. System sound muted. I tried a test again without fade in and force volume and it worked ok but it was very slow quitting. I did another test just to check with fade in and force volume on and that worked ok. Then I started checking the alarm for the morning to make sure it was all set and when I pressed Edit button I got the big error message - the last four screen shots. The first two came up when I first set the alarm for the morning after installing 0.2 I think.

Generally it did not seem happy - I had to wait nearly two minutes for it to go back to my home screen on one occassion. Can you confirm if you must use the windows OK button top right hand or programme Exit button bottom left after setting the alarm to come out of Galarm? Have been using windows OK button top right.

in case it helps I don't use the maze and I also unchecked the confirm close option. I use ThrottleLauncher 0.93 as well. Have gone back to 0.1.1 for now.

Let me know if you need any further info. Not sure if screenshots are in order or not.

Thank you for the fast work.

[bartimeus]

The force sound option does not seem to be working for me. I have tried it many ways but it wont turn my volume on. I have my phone set to vibrate at the moment.

I tested again like the person above me, without fade in checked, it worked fine.

That's a good idea. Unfortunately I'm not really a good designer. Could you help me in making some finger friendly buttons and checkboxes?

I have one request: what about an option to continue playin' the playlist, not just one track ?
Usually it should play all songs from the playlist and repeat the whole playlist! Does it stop after one song on your device? I will check it again on my device!

After uninstalling G-Alarm, I get a 'Notification Error: Could not launch GAlarmReload.exe' everyday at midnight. Soft-Reset die not help.
This is because G-Alarm is still in the notification queue. I will release an uninstaller soon - until then you can use a tool which cleans the notification queue from wrong entries like SKTools

Sorry, my mistake ;-) from now on the alarms.xml won't be overwritten/deleted anymore

Thank you for the fast work.

I'll rework the fade-in option. It is difficult for me to do that because everything works fine on my two devices and so I don't really know if the new code works on other devices, too. But please: stay tuned and for so long, don't use the fade-in option.

OK Button: you're right. you have to exit the application by clicking on Exit. I totally forgot the OK button. I'll implement it in the next version

Error screenshots: Thank you for that - you help me a lot with those screens! I will fix those bugs....


Thank you all for your fast replies, bug reports and ideas!

[khristopher13]

Okay, so I have a few observations about the way this application behaves ...

1) It now takes focus over S2U2 when a scheduled alarm activates. Very Nice!

2) Once the snooze has been activated, the device is not allowed to sleep. Not only does the window keep focus, it keeps the backlight on until the alarm is activated again (both on battery and external power). I do not know if this was intentional, necessary, or a bug. Depending on the length of the snooze time, this could prove to consume unnecessary power when on battery power. Now, I usually leave my phone plugged in overnight so it isn't a major problem but if I ever needed to use it on battery power ... guess I should just get up and not snooze the alarm!

3) The force volume control is a great option and does indeed work if the phone is on silent or vibrate. However, it does not return the volume settings once the alarm has been cleared.

Example 1: Device set to vibrate, alarm set to force volume. Alarm activates and is cleared while the music is playing. The system volume is now set to on (no longer set to vibrate).

Example 2: Device set to vibrate, alarm set to force volume. Alarm activates and the snooze is activated. One decides to get up and dismisses the alarm during the snooze countdown timer. The system volume is now set to silent (no longer set to vibrate).

Example 3: Device volume on, alarm set to force volume. Alarm activates and the snooze is activated. Alarm again dismissed during the snooze countdown. Device volume is at it was before the alarm went off.

I feel like the program should always return both the device volume and phone volume settings back to the state they were in before the alarm was activated. Could this be accomplished by simply storing the values and restoring them upon the exit command?

4) Pressing snooze again before the alarm goes off resets the snooze timer and starts the countdown again. Not sure if this was intentional, but I like this feature!

If I can help out with testing future builds or other scenarios, let me know. Thank you for starting this project. This is the best alarm application I have seen for the Windows Mobile environment. Great Work! I look forward to future releases!

Cheers!

2) Once the snooze has been activated, the device is not allowed to sleep. Not only does the window keep focus, it keeps the backlight on until the alarm is activated again (both on battery and external power). I do not know if this was intentional, necessary, or a bug. Depending on the length of the snooze time, this could prove to consume unnecessary power when on battery power. Now, I usually leave my phone plugged in overnight so it isn't a major problem but if I ever needed to use it on battery power ... guess I should just get up and not snooze the alarm!
Hi,

Here is my feedback after this morning call. I have some similar behaviours with the backlight on the Kaiser.

1. With ThrottleLock running as usual (backgroung process, allowing the program to pop up if the backlight is switch on)

Options: force volume, no fade in, no maze, able to close w/o a warning message
I went to G-Alarm, hit the "Test" button, the alarm pops up, normal, then I press "Stop Alarm", I am now back in the G-Alarm program, no surprise, but I want right now to switch off the screen, I can't, it's not letting me, ThrottleLock would even pops w/o that the backlight was first off then on. Sometimes, ThrottleLock appears and the backlight switch off after, for one second then comes back.
I now hit the "OK" on the top right corner to close G-Alarm program, the backlight switch off lol :p. Back to normal.
Now test with the alarm coming up by itself (like an normal morning call). I unlock ThrottleLock, click on stop alarm, then different behaviour: either the backlight switches off, no problem, either I arrive on my Today screen but I can switch off the screen so no problem.
The snooze button does not switch off the screen. If I use it more than once (meanming letting it do the whole snooze time and/or also clicking on it again before the end), when I then click on "stop alarm", I get (often) the error code 0x80131527, telling me that an error occured in GAlarm.exe. I press quit, I am now unable to switch off the screen, ThrottleLock will come up, but the only way to be regain control on backlight is to soft reset :).



2. W/o ThrottleLock running (completely off, no background process)
Using "test alarm": click test, then close the alarm, come back to G-Alarm menu, I can't switch off the screen, but now if I press the OK button to close the app, it doesn't not switch off the screen anymore, it s from now a normal behaviour, I can by myself switch on and off as I want as soon as G-Alarm app is closed
Alarm coming up on scheduled: the alarm shows up, I click on close alarm, the screen goes off, no problem.
The snooze button is strange: I use the test function, if I click on snooze, then close the alarm, I will be able to switch off the screen o_O, which is not possible if I close the alarm as previously explained. If I now use the snooze after the alarm came up on scheduled, more than once or not, I close the the alarm with "stop alarm", the screen is switched off, no special problem. In any case the snooze button does not send back the screen to darkness hehe.


It's quite detailled but it is the real behaviour on my Kaiser. Tried several times to avoid "one time" behaviours. It is clear that the ThrottleLock does create problem in combination with the G-Alarm. G-Alarm is much happier w/o.

4) Pressing snooze again before the alarm goes off resets the snooze timer and starts the countdown again. Not sure if this was intentional, but I like this feature!
I find this feature absolutely brilliant :D.

Thanks for this great app :).

[Binder]

Hey ageye,
Nice app, just installed and the test worked fine. The real test will be to see if it wakes me up in the morning to go to work :(
One point of attention though:
During the test on my HTC Touch i pressed the stop alarm button and got the corfirmation pop-up. I pressed the damn thing about 20 times before the alarm finally stopped.

I wonder what the results will be when you team up with some skin designers, GOOD LUCK!

[ageye]

First of all: Many thanks to khristopher13 and deuzeff for their detailed descriptions... as you can imagine I need some time to reproduce this behaviour. but I experienced some things by myself and therefore know what to do...
@throttlelock: yeah, g-alarm is surely happier without it, but it has to work with it. I'm on it!

I noticed that, will be fixed in the next version...

This is intended! I'm glad that you like the feature...




I'm on vacations from saturday for 1 week. I think I can release a version with less bugs until then so you don't have to wait so long...

Stay tuned

[melkhatt]

Usually it should play all songs from the playlist and repeat the whole playlist! Does it stop after one song on your device? I will check it again on my device!
On my Artemis, it stops after one track, it's annoying because in my playlist i have just a small sounds

Another problem with the last version: the dialog confirmation for exit alarm, won't go before pressing several times over yes or no buttons (at least 5)

[custardo01]

I'll rework the fade-in option. It is difficult for me to do that because everything works fine on my two devices and so I don't really know if the new code works on other devices, too. But please: stay tuned and for so long, don't use the fade-in option.

OK Button: you're right. you have to exit the application by clicking on Exit. I totally forgot the OK button. I'll implement it in the next version

Error screenshots: Thank you for that - you help me a lot with those screens! I will fix those bugs....
[/B]

It may not all be the fault of Galarm. Have tried many alarm programmes recently and all of them start working ok and then suddenly mute the sound on my Touch Cruise even though the volume is up and sound set to ON in system settings. Soft reset brings the sound back. Yet I read about satisfaction from others using these same programmes without problems. I found one programme that does not mute the sound along with Galarm 0.1.1 (as long as fade in unchecked and so far after 3 days use). I just tried Galarm 0.2 again and it worked fine first go then no sound on the whole device on second test.All options were checked and then unchecked. I would be interested to hear if anyone else experience same problems using a Touch Cruise as most people do not report the same problems I am getting.

If I set the alarm and then press Exit the alarm does not set and will not work even though the alarms are showing green as if they are set. If I set the alarm and then press OK top right(Windows) the alarm sets and definitely works. Is that right??

Thanks.

please stop asking over and over for the same bugfixes - it's already a known bug and will be fixed as soon as possible

[ageye]

New version online: 0.2.1!

Please tell me:
- if the fade-in finally works
- if the vibration/muted mode is restored when the alarm is finished
- if the playlist repeats
- if the device is able to sleep when you click on "snooze"
- if "Show alarm over all windows" (you find it in the options) is able to win against throttlelock

Don't forget: if you like and use G-Alarm I would be so happy if you donate (http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=donations)


THANK YOU

[stando76]

I am also getting the 0x80131527 error when stopping the alarm. I also noticed that it also changes my volume level to 80% on my mogul.

Otherwise so far so good.
Thanks!

Have you tried the alternative playback mode (see the options)?
could you please post screenshots of the error?

@volume change: g-alarm has no chance to restore the original volume if there's an error. so this is just "normal". But I think that switching to alternative playback mode will fix the problem

I will test later this evening once I get home and follow up with my findings.

[stando76]

That worked - but it still drops my volume to 80% after the alarm goes off.
Thanks again!
Stan

[deuzeff]

I'll also made a detailled observation tomorrow, but I just tell you quickly it is not able to come over ThrottleLock :( (I did check the option :p).

There's still the strange problem that when using the test function, when I shut down the alarm, I am unable to switch off the screen if I am still in G-Alarm program.

Thank you very much for the work !

[ageye]

That worked - but it still drops my volume to 80% after the alarm goes off.

Stan

ok, then let's try to debug that ;-)
which volume do you have before you start g-alarm?
do you check "Force volume"?
which value do you enter at "max. volume"?

for the next versions I will switch the alternative and the normal playback mode... the alternative mode is actually better but only works with wm6 and above, but I think it's the better standard option.

argh ThrottleAlarm ;-) I don't know what to do... I think I have to download it and/or talk to the developer...
Have you tried it with or without checking the option "Show alarm over all windows"?
When is it better?

[deuzeff]

argh ThrottleAlarm ;-) I don't know what to do... I think I have to download it and/or talk to the developer...

Yeah pain in the A$$ :p. Same behaviour (G-Alarm stays under) w/ both option checked/unchecked "Show alarm over all windows".
FYI, I just reinstall S2U2, G-Alarm does come over S2U2 ;), with both checked and unchecked.

The snooze button sends back to sleep (at least right now with S2U2, I'll try tomorrow with ThrotlleLock waiting in the background, the behaviour is probably different), however, when you switch on the phone, S2U2 pops up, and I can't unlock, it seems G-Alarm and S2U2 are fighting to be on top :-/ (but S2U2 stays). If I use the red phone button to shut down G-Alarm while having S2U2 still on top, I arrive on my home screen in the background, but S2U2 still here. I have to soft reset :).
EDIT: that was with option unchecked, I'll try now with option "over all windows" checked.
EDIT: no luck with checked too

We're getting close :). (can somebody confirm for S2U2?).

I hit the snooze with S2U2 and ThrottleLock uninstall, G-Alarm is perfect w/o locking system.

[airjer]

Great prog. Works great for me. Only improvements that really need to be done are on the speed. Pretty laggy on my device (kaiser).

Thanks, hopefully I'll get up sooner instead of later now.

[melkhatt]

Please tell me:
- if the vibration/muted mode is restored when the alarm is finished
- if the playlist repeats
- if the device is able to sleep when you click on "snooze"
yes


Thank you

[custardo01]

Everything almost works great now on Touch Cruise - fade in, sound off restored when alarm finished - all good so far.

Only problem I have had is that I have my device set to turn off if unused after 3 mins on battery power. I tested snooze for 10 mins a few times and found the timer stops when the device turns off so no alarm. On one occassion I woke the device up and stopped the alarm early and everything froze on the snooze page - soft reset. When I select show over all windows in options it is still going to sleep and so the timer stops etc...

Don't use Throttlelock or playlists so can't comment.

[dvbit2]

for those phones with light sensor (to light up keyboard when extracted) it would be nice to have a "snooze when the light is turned on" feature

[stando76]

ok, then let's try to debug that ;-)
which volume do you have before you start g-alarm?
do you check "Force volume"?
which value do you enter at "max. volume"?

for the next versions I will switch the alternative and the normal playback mode... the alternative mode is actually better but only works with wm6 and above, but I think it's the better standard option.



argh ThrottleAlarm ;-) I don't know what to do... I think I have to download it and/or talk to the developer...

I am at 100 for volume and I have the force volume checked. The value for max volume is 100 as well.
Let me know if you need more info.
Stan

[ageye]

Great prog. Works great for me. Only improvements that really need to be done are on the speed. Pretty laggy on my device (kaiser).

Thanks, hopefully I'll get up sooner instead of later now.

Can you explain, what part of G-Alarm is exactly laggy?

I tested snooze for 10 mins a few times and found the timer stops when the device turns off so no alarm.

I understand - I'll have a look at it - that's pretty important...

I am at 100 for volume and I have the force volume checked. The value for max volume is 100 as well.
Let me know if you need more info.
Stan

Ok, my conclusion is that G-Alarm gets a wrong value when it tries to read the current volume. Please tell me what the default value for "Max. volume" is, when you click on "New alarm -> Options". If it's different from your current system sound value then I have to use another method to read out the volume...

for those phones with light sensor (to light up keyboard when extracted) it would be nice to have a "snooze when the light is turned on" feature

good idea.

EDIT: no luck with checked too

We're getting close . (can somebody confirm for S2U2?).

I hit the snooze with S2U2 and ThrottleLock uninstall, G-Alarm is perfect w/o locking system.

I use S2U2 and everything works fine for me - which version of s2u2 do you use?
For me, G-Alarm always wins the fight against s2u2 and is the top window...
strange problem.
Is it usable for you now with S2u2/throttlelock or not? I don't understand clearly if you ever had the chance with one tool to unlock the screen and then stop the alarm or not.

[stanglifemike]

Thank you for the update and for always posting cab files so I can add to my phone immediately, even if I'm away from my computer.:D
One request, can we get a 12hour clock instead of 24?? Thanks

[jcespi2005]

ey, very thanks for your app ;) it's really nice...

Now my findings...

The alarm only works for me if i try a near time for the alarm. For instance, 22:00 local time and my alarm to 22:30 with the PDA off, this works OK. But if 23:00 and my alarm to 9:00 this don't work, the PDA don't wake up until i switch on the PDA. If i switch on the PDA at 9:20 the alarm start inmediatly at this timer... strange.

In fact, the only soft i found to work fine for me is SBP Time 2, and this soft only uses one notification in the notification database. I saw your app uses lot of notifications (6) and perhaps the fail is related to this.

I'd like to help you if i can. I can send it to you the notificacion SBP Time uses if you wnat to check.

Cheers and thanks again for this app ;)

strange problem! I expierenced this on my other device (prophet), too. But I fixed it with version 0.2.1
have you tried this version? if so: could you please send me the settings of sbp time 2 notifications. I don't think that this is a problem of the notification entry - but it may be ;-)
afaik g-alarm works on Kaiser devices (some users told me) - so it may not work due to your rom? maybe hard resetting helps?
which other alarms have you tried that don't work?

This app is fantastic. I need to fix that goddamn credit card. Need to send some donations. I'm waiting for more mazes!

[peacock93]

ageye,

I really like your GAlarm program. I'm running it on a Sprint 6700 with WM6.1. I'm having a problem that when the alarm goes off I can hear it but it doesn't wakeup my 6700 screen. I have to push the power button on my 6700 to be able to hit snooze or to turn off the alarm.

Any ideas??

I'll post here the SPB Time 2 notification with one alarm (i ussually wake up at 8:00 AM) so you can check and compare with yours.

About the version i installed 0.2.1 yeterday in the night, so i have last version. About the ROM, is a spanish ROM WM6.1 official HTC based (you can see in my signature). And installed your app after hard reset with notifications database clear.

Cheers

EDIT: Here you have the notifications (2 for my diary alarm at 8:30 AM). If you need more info, say me...

Tried to send donation, but not sure if it went through or not, I can not read the paypal link.

[shpy]

Thank you so much.
"use alternative playback mode" work well on my ATOM now!
But, the volume is just about 65-70% ! I alway set System volume to 100%. With 1 song, WM play full 100% or ring of phone play 100% volume level too, but G-alarm just 65-70% volume level!!

Check/ Unchek force volume, number in "volume" : 100, uncheck Fade in.

[S.V.I]

I thought I'd suggest the finger friendliness work around in the options menu; as well as possible skins support.
The buttons are merely overlayed on the clock, which is why the hands are not visible.
As a today plugin, retro has a way to reach the sys time settings, perhaps can be redirected to an option page SysTime/GAlarmOptions...

I think it helps to see what time it is before you start up the maze. maybe have the music playing, but taping the screen would take you to the maze and kill alarm switch.
Just some ideas to see if you like

[hanackin]

Hi!

Again thanks a lot for this great alarm :D

Just a little remark, are you aware that the clock of g-alarm is not synchronised with the one from the mobile.... ?
By that I mean that there is difference of one miute between them...

there are some users on an other forum having this problem

Very cool application.

2ageye: Please, include in “to DO list”:
* Edition loops of sound in Options!

It means - selected sound will be repeated immediately how many times (1x, 2x, 3x...).
It is necessary for relatively short sounds.
(it is not snooze function of course.)

Thank you in advance.

The point is that I don't "invent" a new time. I use the time windows mobile tells me.
If you're in the control panel there is exactly the same time as in G-Alarm

[hanackin]

yeh, ok, I knew that microsoft were crappy, but anyway, I've never noticed that but effectively there is a difference between the today time and the control panel one....:eek:

By the way the forum is "www.actualitemobile.com" ;)

New version online: v0.2.2!


The last version for at least one week...

Some remarks:
- On WM6 (and above) devices: I switched to alternative playback mode with the former standard playback mode. please use the new standard playback mode (uncheck alternative playback mode) - it has better performance and produces less error... If it doesn't work, try alternative playback mode...
- If you had the problem that the device didn't wake up, try it with this version and report me if it works now...
- If your device didn't wake up after clicking on "Snooze alarm", try unchecking "Save power during snooze time" - this consumes more battery but is necessary on some devices...
-ThrottleLock and S2U2: please tell me if it works now! Thanks...
- Please read the changelog on the first page to see which bugfixes I implemented


Have fun with it!


In a few hours I start my vacation to italy for about one week.
Please don't spam this topic during the time! Just post bug reports/ideas which haven't been posted already.

[maxstegi]

For me, with a HTC Universal and a cooked WM6.1, v0.2.2 doesn't work at all, even not, if the device is switched on and the programm is open.
It always says "Next alarm in: ....., and if the time is over, it says "No upcoming alarm".

Could you please have a look into the notification queue (e.g. with SKTools) to see if a notification to GAlarm.exe with the correct date/time has been added after creating a new alarm?

I have the same device as you and the only version I can get to work is 0.1.1 but it will only work with the "fade in" option unchecked. In this way it is a very reliable alarm clock and have been using it successfully for about a week now. Not sure if it is available from ageye's web site or not but if you need help I could post a copy of it. All other versions cause problems/errors on my Touch Cruise.

[[germany]merlot]

Awesome program. Thanks for coding and sharing. I've kicked pTravelAlarm from my Omnia your's better.

But I found one bug (don't know if it is one) on my Omnia. When the alarm starts up the gAlarm surface is not visible because the phone won't wake up from standby mode. It's not very serious but would be better when the phone wake up. Any ideas?

try it and tell me please

It does not work. I was able to set an alarm and it went off. The maze did show but I was unable to move the dots through the maze, The screen did not function at all.

I've the same issue on my omnia. The maze will be shown but the screen is frozen.

[maxcavalera]

Not sure if it is available from ageye's web site or not but if you need help I could post a copy of it. All other versions cause problems/errors on my Touch Cruise.
Thx for the sugesstion - I'll try to look for a solution to use the new versions, though.
@ageye - Could it be a problem with the .NET version or whatever framework you are using?

[JueLue]

I had to delete some entries in the notification cue that where left over from earlier versions of the program, perhaps this is a thing someone else could try, who has probs with this software...

Now everything works perfect:).

I really like this program.

Now its time for a photoshop artist to do some eye candy I think.

Hi, I get this error message when I try to start the application.
My device is HTC Trinity with WM6.1 {017TNYSTD Rom}

[jcespi2005]

New version online: v0.2.2!


The last version for at least one week...

Some remarks:
- On WM6 (and above) devices: I switched to alternative playback mode with the former standard playback mode. please use the new standard playback mode (uncheck alternative playback mode) - it has better performance and produces less error... If it doesn't work, try alternative playback mode...
- If you had the problem that the device didn't wake up, try it with this version and report me if it works now...
- If your device didn't wake up after clicking on "Snooze alarm", try unchecking "Save power during snooze time" - this consumes more battery but is necessary on some devices...
-ThrottleLock and S2U2: please tell me if it works now! Thanks...
- Please read the changelog on the first page to see which bugfixes I implemented


Have fun with it!


In a few hours I start my vacation to italy for about one week.
Please don't spam this topic during the time! Just post bug reports/ideas which haven't been posted already.

Many thanks for this new version, i'll try and report back about the wake'up issue with my Kaiser-Spanish ROM.

Have a nice vacation time...

Cheers

[tekknogenius]

Nice Alarm Program!

A few suggestions (from my limited use):
1. Seconds not needed in setting the alarm hours and minutes are more than enough :)
2. Use the regional settings to determine default time display (ie, 24HR format versus AM/PM)
3. To make the program more polished, I would create a dialog box for the confirmation. The standard dialog box looks out of place against the nice graphics of the alarm clock.


Thank again. Great program...

BTW I'm using it on a Wizard

[custardo01]

Re v0.2.2 and Polaris-Touch Cruise.
After setting up the alarm and closing G-alarm I get the attached error. Tried a variety of options but error keeps coming up so unable to test.

Hope you have a good break.

[xxx_mosh]

hey i have a qeastion like i think this alarm looks really good and a need one cus im alwasy late to class and stuff but dose anyone know if its anygood on the kaiser im also running the latest romeos 4.6 if anything i might just install and test it out but if anyone knows something that could will be appreciated

thankss

[w04g005]

@ageye

Hey thanks for this great piece of software. It's the best alarm app i've ever used! Did you ever think about fm-support. Than it would be an perfect app for me.
thanks

[deuzeff]

Hi ageye,

thanks for the new version 0.2.2, it's really getting more and more stable :)

I just played around a little:
- the backlight problems seem all solved
- the snooze is working perfectly for me (backlight is switch off)
- the famous ThrottleLock interference is almost away: with the current ThrottleLock release (0.3c), the first time the alarm comes up, ThrottleLock is on top, I unlock it >> send the alarm back to sleep with the snooze function >> the next time the alarm pops up, ThrottleLock does not appear, neither over neither under it. Now if I click on "Stop alarm" instead of snoozing, the next time I switch off the screen, ThrottleLock will be here as normal (I was afraid that somehow is was down after using the G-Alarmn, but not :)). The behaviour is really excellent right now :).

merlot;2612685']Awesome program. Thanks for coding and sharing. I've kicked pTravelAlarm from my Omnia your's better.

But I found one bug (don't know if it is one) on my Omnia. When the alarm starts up the gAlarm surface is not visible because the phone won't wake up from standby mode. It's not very serious but would be better when the phone wake up. Any ideas?

I'm still enthused and now the wake up problem is solved. Very very good. All you have to do is resize the buttons in the settings. It's very defficulty without a stylus but with a big thumb.:D

[JueLue]

I've got an O2 Orbit II, which means its just the same as an Touch Cruise and yes, its working perfect now:)

[deuzeff]

It seems that I can't get a snooze of 10 minutes to work properly. 5 works.

Can somebody try in the real alarm clock condition (not the test):
- setting a 10-minute snooze
- hitting the Snooze button when the alarm pops up (thus switching off the backlight) and not touch the phone (i.e. switch on the screen)
- waiting 10 minutes until, normally the alarm comes back and rings again

In my case the timer runs in the background, that's for sure, but after 10 minutes (600s), it does not come back, it makes a new countdown, silently in the background :-/

at last, an alarm i can use instead of the original one.

[w04g005]

Hey guys, since the last update i have a strange problem! i've set my alarm to 6 am. at 6 am the alarm started....so far so good. i clicked on snooze. 5 minutes later it rang again also this is how it should work. but when i'm closing the alarm only the S2U2 screen appears. Than i CANNOT SEND MY DEVICE TO SLEEP MODE!! clicking one time on the power button...nothing happens. clicking the next time on the power button... S2U2 appears!!
Thank you for helping!

My Device is a HTC Polaris (Orbit II) but i think it has nothing to do with the hardware. i think it's an incompatibility with S2U2!!

Update: I think it has to do with the "Save power during snooze time"- function !! i deactivated it and the Problem i described above didn't occur.

[Balrog82]

good looking tool. I am in search of a good alarm software anyway, since I had to lend my old mobile phone to a friend who broke his iphone *lol* so I currently have nothing that wakes me up :D

When i'm Uninstall G-alarm.

Could you fix it ?:)

Damn, I overslept again. The S2U2 blocked gAlarm again. First when I wake up my Omnia manually the alarm came to the top.

[Balrog82]

ok I tried out the app.

But somehow, it doesn't work properly. I have mostly two cases:

If I disable the maze for an alarm, the device will not wake up and alarm me. Only if I push the button to light up the display, I then get the alarm.

And with the maze enabled, it either doesn't wake up, or it wakes up, but doesn't play the mp3 files. This is very strange.

I thought this app would wake me in the morning, but as it looks now, I cannot rely on that.

Using Kaiser with M-Diamond ROM 1.0. Got S2U2 running as well. Could this be the reason?

Post like this make me kind of sad...
If you had read the whole thread you would know folloing points:
1. G-Alarm is far away from the final state...
2. G-Alarm is free! I make this in my free time and don't want to sell it. I somehow would be glad about donations. But the donations I received so far are ridiculous compared to the emails/posts/message I receive how many people like G-Alarm and compared to the hours I already spent developing the program...
3. I'm on vacations right now! Few hours before I left, I uploaded a new version with some bugfixes. Some bugs I couldn't fix that fast that's why I implemented the temporary solution with the "power save" checkbox so that it works at least better...
4. If you want to help the development of G-Alarm, tell me NEW bugs, donate or wait. Don't complain about my programming skills or about anything else!

Hei,

i think you do not be sad, i do not mean that so hard how it apparently you understand. This is the problem when i write in english :o . My english is so bad, that i not to have the ability to write in a style of fine adjusted feelings, sorry. I know that the software is free, in a early stage and that the software is not you one content of your life. It is great that you share this little app with us, realy. And I do not complain you coding skills. The opinion of my post was that you hear from the problems with G-Alarm and i think that bugs they have many people become more priority.
Hm, i hope you understand now what i would be sayed. When you understand german, than i can write in german, thats easier for me and i can better adjust the style of my writing. :D

I hope the missunderstand is now deleted. :)

greetings,

Do'h. Can't believe I missed that bit. Sorry, should have read a page prior.

[ageye]

I might found a solution to the problem that the device doesn't wake up when the alarm should start...

Please try following registry change (only advanced users please!), restart the device and tell me if it works now

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\Timeouts]
Change ACResumingSuspendTimeout and BattResumingSuspendTimeout to 60 (Decimal) which is 0x5A in hex.

Restart the device. Try it again!

Thank you for testing!

I've changed the values like you said but the hex isn't 0x5A it's 0x3C (3x16+12).
I first can give you tomorrow a result. This issue only happens when the device isn't touched for more than minimum 5hours (I think so). Going to try now.

Hi,

ok I did some testing about the snooze issue:

Fresh install of G-Alarm, soft reset
Try a 10 minute snooze > does not switch on. When I switch on the screen manually via power button, it shows ~335 seconds remaining (whatever the moment I switch on the screen, I think, that would mean that it gives us an interesting time line)
Try a 10 minute snooze once more. I switch on the screen after something like 25 minutes (I forgot about my testing :D), and I saw again these approx. 335 seconds remaining
Once more: just looked it up once more 22 minutes after hitting the 10 minute snooze, it was apparently stuck around 340 seconds, meaning that after 260 seconds (4 minutes 20 seconds) it stopped. I'll go on trying later on ;).

EDIT: now I tried again with 5 minutes: stuck at 40 second, so exactly 260 seconds after I hit the snooze, like in the case of 10 minute snooze. I have now to understand why these 260 seconds :D.

you are right of course!I first had 90 and then thought 60 might be enough and changed only the decimal to 60 but not the hex.

Hei ageye,

da du eine .de Domain hast gehe ich von aus, dass du auch Detusch verstehst, das sollte dann zu weniger Missverstaendnissen fuehren. :rolleyes:
Ohne in den Quelltext gesehen zu haben, vermute ich, dass du fuer den Alarm und den Schlummeralarm unterschiedliche Verfahren verwendest. Beim normalen Alarm nutzt du sicherlicher einen Windowseigenen Timer um G-Alarm zu starten, waehrend du fuer den Schlummeralarm G-Alarm das uebernehmen laesst. Meine Idee waere, dass du den Schlummeralarm ebenfalls von Windows timen laesst und zwar in der gleichen Art und Weise wie den normalen Alarm von G-Alarm, dann sollte es auch keine/weniger Probleme mit einem StandBy-Zustand des Geraetes geben.

Gruss,
M.

if everything works and you find it this tool useful, please donate (http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=donations)!

Still the same problem. gAlarm doesn't come to the top when my device is off and S2U2 is active. The situation got worse because now the alarm first appears when I wake up the phone AND unlock S2U2. Before gAlarm came up when I switched on my phone. Sorry to tell you than. I hope you find another solution.

[custardo01]

So far all seems to be working perfect on Polaris with the following options checked it does what I want it to do ie.come to front window or snooze in background:-

Show alarm over all other windows
Better power saving during snoozing
Fix Windows alarm bug

Thank you again. I did make a donation but I think the sender name was Mr R A not custardo01

Hi ageye,

thanks for the update 0.2.3. !

Just tried quickly the snooze timeout issue. On my Kaiser, there's still the snooze timing out at 260 seconds. If I set a snooze of 259 seconds, the screen will come back to life, not with 260 or more.

Thanks for the hard work.

PS: can people report such behaviour, at least try it ;). I am starting to hink I'm the only one having this issue :p.

[JueLue]

Hi ageye, I like your prog verry much. It works nearly perfect with my Orbit II.

Things I would like in future:

- make it more fingerfriedly (yes I know, you allready spoke about that...)
- possibility to define a start-folder for the playlist-selection. Now I allways have to select 4 folders before I reach my music.
- possibility to select whole folders as playlists
- predefined playlists, or at least the possiblility to overtake the last playlist when you define a new alarm.
- possibility to define an alarm, that is executed only once and then deleted
- during playing the alarm, my orbit does not swich off background light. Sometimes I'd like to listen to the music for some minuites, but it takes a lot of batterie

But so far: thank you very much for your program

Hi deuzeff,
sorry forgot to write that I improved the power setting for those who cannot check the option "Better powersaving during snooze".
Just leave it unchecked and see how it works... (it dims your backlight to the lowest mode and prevents the device to sleep)

5. This is on my todolist. Very important feature - coming soon (propably end of the week)
6. very difficult - as you probably noticed there are lots of problems with waking up the device and other power related problems. On some devices it may work but I don't think that it will work on every device...

stay tuned...

Thank you for your fast answer...
One suggestion, to make it not more complicated...

When a new alarm is defined and you do not create a new playlist for this alarm (the user does not touch the "add"-button) the playlist of the previous defined alarm should be used. This would make it much easier to quickly define an new alarm.

great prog.... just needs more mazes and randmize them and maybe different colors of the mazes lol

[ageye]

New version online! v0.3

Sorry - there's already a new version ;-)

Biggest change: Skin is now finger-friendly!!
Screenshots: http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=galarm/screens

You can make new skins according to the default skin (just take the default skin in the "gfx" directory as an example). If you make new skins, please submit them ;-)

AND:
You can now use vibration when the alarm plays! I don't know if it works on all devices, so I would be glad if you could test it and report it, if it works (pm please)

Have fun with it...

I was having an issue with SPB Time after I installed Manilla ... *shrugs* thought I'd ask to see if anyone was using Manilla and G-Alarm since I'd like to use it if its happy.

yes, I use it on my Diamond with Manila and everythong works great.

[deuzeff]

Dear ageye,

I must say, great great great job for the 0.3 :p

This is really damn good!!!!!!!

You were right for the "better power saving", when unclick, the screen will go to lowest mode, which is a good alternative to "not coming back to life" :D. It works great !

Many thanks!!!

[chiekh]

Please can you implement an option to choose for using labyrinth before stoping the alarm only and not for snooze. Thanks.

[custardo01]

Polaris

v0.3 has gone back to not waking back up after a 600 min snooze. Usually stops with 120 secs remaining. It will work ok if I uncheck the power saving option but this is a bit frustrating because if I wanted to use the device for something else G-Alarm takes over and dims the screen for all programmes. Ok for a morning wake up though. I know this is a problem area. Thought I had v0.2.3 working perfectly but not so sure now my head is a bit dizzy with it all!

Love the new buttons as well and general interface much better. Would like to change the arrow buttons for setting the time. If I use my thumb can't see the numbers.

Vibration works good.

Thanks for the quick quick work.

Very impressive, ageye. Almost perfect on my "good" old Touch. Keep up the great work. :eek:

[jcostanza4]

Thanks for this great app, I have greatly needed a new alarm program with easy to read buttons and a simple interface. I do have some ideas/suggestions/bugs while this is in developement. I hope these will help and not offend. I think you are doing a wonderful job.


A few bugs I noticed with v0.3:

Does not show over Throttle Lock
I image simular results as other users with S2U2, but it does still work behind Throttle Lock and over all other applications like Touch Flo 2D. Just have to unlock and then snooze or dismiss. The snooze time respond if Throttle Lock is activated after snoozing.
Throttle Lock freezes snooze time
If Throttle Lock launches while G-Alarm is snoozing the snooze time will freeze and not count down untill unlocked.
Snooze and Device Standby creates an alarm with no screen
I normaly hit snooze and put my device into standby if I do this the snoozed alarm will go off but the screen does not wake. I have to power on to input a response and causes a further problem when Throttle Lock stops the snooze time.(Putting the device into standby is a habit because the wife does not like the light emited from my device while snoozing)
Feature Requests/Ideas:

Skinnable Snooze and Stop alarm Buttons
Multiple Snooze options
The default alarm has me addicted to choosing some predefined times. I would recomend one large snooze button that is the users default, and 2 or 3 small icons that are user defined times. Use Example: For some reason mondays I like to sleep in 15-30 minutes, and other days vary.
One Time Alarm
Ability to add an alarm that deletes itself after dismissing. Great for that one time amonth you have to get up early and forgot to remove the 4am alarm for the next week.

These are just a couple ideas I have and only wish to share my thoughts and experiences. If I can help in other ways let me know. Again Great application, and keep up the developement.

Thanks

Looks great, thanks for the update!! Downloading now, I'll let you know how it works on my device. Thanks

[aqtrans]

have you already tried the option "Show alarm over all windows"?
Yeah already tried that option, doesn't work.

[custardo01]

Big problem.

I stopped the alarm in the middle of a snooze countdown. G-Alarm quit ok but did not reset the backlight brightness. I cannot reset the backlight manually either it keeps going to the lowest setting as if G-Alarm has taken over the backlight. Will try and uninstall and go back to v0.1.1 because at the moment I have a permanent dark screen. Problem occurred with better powersaving unchecked and show alarm over all windows checked. Have tried changing all options but the light won't come back.

[custardo01]

Well uninstalled v0.3 and installed v0.1.1 but I have still have no light and cannot get it back. The backlight setting just keeps going to the lowest setting whenever I touch the screen or the light settings. Not sure what to do about this.

Please help!! Need my light back.

Thanks

Edit; Soft reset makes no difference.

[custardo01]

It's ok I got the backlight back by manually setting the settings/backlight/battery option (G-Alarm set it to go off after 10s).

Got in a bit of a panic there. Sorry for the alarm:o Back on v0.1.1 though.

[ageye]

Thanks for your replies! This is just a great community!

I will look through your ideas and problems and post some news about today...
please be patient.

if you find anything else, please let me know.

I haven't changed the power mechanism between v0.3 and v0.2.3.
For now I don't have a better solution but to dim the screen for all programms during snoozing.
I don't think that this is a big problem because most people don't start other programms during snooze time but sleep until the alarm comes back ;-)

Device: Touch Dual (Niki100, WM6.1 with TouchFlo 2D)


Thanks for your detailed descriptions/bugreports/ideas...

bugs:
1. for now this is the most stable mechanism which works with the most screenlock tools like s2u2 or throttlelock. I know that you have to unlock the screen with throttlelock first but I'm sorry - can't change that :-(
This is the behaviour of ThrottleLock. If his developer adds the feature of an exception list where you can add GAlarm.exe like there is in S2U2 there wouldn't be this problem...
2. please try to uncheck "Better powersaving during snoozing" - that should fix this behaviour
3. this goes in the direction of number 2 - again I can only tell you: please put a sock or a book or whatever over your phone (or turn it around) so your wife can sleep ;-)
If you put your device into standby mode it won't work...

requests:
1. already implemented for the next release
2. I don't want to place to much buttons on the alarm screen. my solution for your request: make multiple alarms with different snooze times for different days...
3. One-Time alarm: yeah, already on my todo list. probably next release, maybe in some versions later...

It's ok I got the backlight back by manually setting the settings/backlight/battery option (G-Alarm set it to go off after 10s).

Got in a bit of a panic there. Sorry for the alarm:o Back on v0.1.1 though.

sorry for the problems which you had due to the new backlight mechanism... that's strange though... G-Alarm should restore original backlight settings after the alarm.
If you have time: could you please test it again and if that happens again, tell me what you did (snoozed, then closed the alarm or whatever...). You can restore your settings in the control panel (like you already found out by yourself - sorry for that again!)

stay tuned...
ageye.

[JueLue]

New version realy works fine for me. Thanks.

Question: does anybody need the possibility to have seconds-precise alarms?

To leave this feature behind and to increase size of numbers (arrows) would make your prog more fingerfriendly in an easy way...

:D

For the seconds, I join you in the testing purpose. When I test the new version, I set an alarm in 20 seconds, so I don't have to wait a whole minute or so :). Maybe make a test checkbox unlocking seconds or something :).

[windjohnson]

wow this is even better, and thanks for those new good features!
One thing is, I have tested the newest version yet, so I don't know if it has it, it's that, a function to import a playlist will be a very good and convenient idea!
Thanks again, I'll buy you a beer as soon as I have some money :D
pretty poor lately, but it's worth it!

Great suggestion,
I guess I'm so used to the 3 alarm limit windows has I forgot you can have unlimited alarm profiles. "The Better Powersaving during snoozing" keeps the device awake and prevents it from locking, so it does work in all respects.

The one alarm program I found that overrides all screen apps is SPB Time 2, I don't know what they are doing to do this but it does show up over Throttle Lock and S2U2 in my device. I could tear it appart to see but I don't know where to begin.

Thanks for all the updates, and as far as the wife, I'll just put a sock on her!
Jcostanza4

[tekknogenius]

Again, thanks for G-Alarm...

A suggestion: Can you make an easier way to select AM/PM, currently one has to cycle the time. Also, can the buttons be larger for selecting the time.

Error/Issue:
I set it to powersave and after snoozing once, then turning off the alarm, the backlight didn't get reset to what it was prior. I had to manually set it back.

Thanks again.

[custardo01]

I haven't changed the power mechanism between v0.3 and v0.2.3.
For now I don't have a better solution but to dim the screen for all programms during snoozing.
I don't think that this is a big problem because most people don't start other programms during snooze time but sleep until the alarm comes back ;-)

I think it would be useful to use G-Alarm as a reminder programme as well as a wake up alarm programme. For example I am using Throttle Launcher and if I set an alarm or reminder it won't show the text for the alarm over Throttle Launcher. All I get is an alarm bell in the top windows menu and a brief alarm sound thats it. Easy to miss the reminder. If I could set a reminder in G-Alarm for day time use I know I am not going to miss that lovely big green button coming on my screen.


sorry for the problems which you had due to the new backlight mechanism... that's strange though... G-Alarm should restore original backlight settings after the alarm.
If you have time: could you please test it again and if that happens again, tell me what you did (snoozed, then closed the alarm or whatever...). You can restore your settings in the control panel (like you already found out by yourself - sorry for that again!)


I've tried to recreate the problem I had with backlight not being reset but can't up to now. It all seems to be working ok so far but it definitely did not reset the backlight on stopping the alarm during a snooze countdown. It happened very late so was not thinking straight and needed the device to be working for my work in the morning - sorry for all the panic :o

One other thing for me the time setting arrow buttons are too close together. When I am using the top arrows to set the time I can't see the numbers I am setting as my thumb is covering the time window. Have also a few times accidentally hit the hour arrow button arrow while pressing the minute arrow button and not realised and wondered why the alarm has not gone off at the time I thought I set it for. The snooze buttons are fine because they are to the side of the time window.


stay tuned...
ageye.
Nike compatibility? :D

[ageye]

One time alarms = reminders are implemented in the next version (probably released today?!?)

I reorder the arrow - buttons so it is more finger friendly

[chiekh]

Please can you add the option of the time or number to repeat the alarm before going to snooze. Thanks

[bugzy]

so far i love the G-Alarm, but i got 2 comments

1. Maze with bigger circles to make it easier or maybe some new ideas for maze designs ;)
2. I get an error message once in while, but i think its been posted

[custardo01]

Alternative buttons which can be put in the G-Alarm/GFX/default/frmAddAlarm folder. Red button is false (not enabled) green button is true (enabled). Just something quick, simple and easy. I'm no skinner but someones got to start the ball rolling:)

I have no file uploading account so if anyone can help with that (if anyone is interested that is) please do.

Thanks

[Keng230]

Thank you for you great app. I really like it :-)

However, when I choose *.wav format, G-Alarm always get hang, also can't play sound.

Is it normal?

Love this alarm, exactly what i need to wake-up :cool:
Keep up the good work!!!

[Bib_x]

Hi, can you build in a Timer-Alarm?

e.g. i want to wake up in 8 hours - so i don´t have to put in the precise wake up time

[custardo01]

v0.3 has not reset the backlight this morning. I did not do anything unusual it just happened after pressing "stop alarm" button. It was on charge at the time. My options page is attached.

[Bib_x]

Same Problem with the Backlight on my o2 Xda orbit 2 (HTC Polaris - Touch Cruise). Sometimes it works well and sometimes i have to set the backlight time manually to my old settings. g-Alarm sets to 10 seconds.


new ideas for your app:
* Option to set the time for Fade in. Maybe slow fade in - 60 seconds from 0 to 100 % Volume or fast fade in from 0 to 100% in 10 seconds.

* Settings for min Level for Fade in.

[orlith]

Great app ! Thanks
Use it for the first time and will keep it for sure !

Ideas :

- maybe integrate alarms wit SU2U, meaning that alarms appears on the su2u screen (like appointment..)
- same with Touch Flo 3D in place of Windows alarms

[windjohnson]

*the dot has becoming easier to move, somehow, that's not a good news.
*import playlists?

[korro]

Bug founded.
When we click 'Edit' if there's no alarms on list, program crash.
Regards.

[ageye]

thanks for your replies! the bugs (backlight bug, edit/test/delete alarm when there is no alarm bug) are fixed in the next version.
@ideas: keep them coming. I'll make it if it's possible but step by step ;-)
v0.4 is coming soon.

[custardo01]

Just a few simple alternative up/down arrow buttons for the GFX/default/frmAddAlarm folder. I'm not sure but these arrows seem to give me more room for my thumb. These and check box buttons now linked for download.

Hope it will inspire for better things!

Thank you ageye.

[Parg]

Why does this thread have no stars?

[tekknogenius]

Error/Issue:
Happened 2nd day in a row. I snoozed twice. Then finally stopped the alarm. Confirm box displayed, I closed it. Then the volume was set to OFF instead of back to what it was originally. BTW I had vibrate set to ON during the alarm as well.

Great work!

[ageye]

New version released: v0.4

This is a release with some new features (one time alarm, repeat of alarm, etc.) and the important bugfixes (backlight bug, volume bug, startscreen bug)

Please test it and report me if there are any problems...

Hi ageye,

[custardo01]

With v0.4.1 still getting the exception error when trying to edit an alarm. It seems to be with the alarms set from an older version that the new installation has picked up and put in the settings. Can make a new alarm and edit that ok.

Found that the keyboard does not pop up in the snooze window any more. It does pop up using the text description window though. Can't make the keyboard go away until I go to the next page - no icon at the bottom of screen. All ok using buttons.

Show maze one time only - maze does not appear for me anyway.

Hi,

This definitely is a great app.
I use pocket wake up, but it lacks some options (as the random playlist ;) )
Yet, it seems on my asus p535 (on windows mobile 6.1) that the program empties my battery at an incredible speed...

I don't know if its already been reported (I'm too lazy to search for anything else than "battery" in the thread...)

Keep up good work :)

the battery drain hasn't been reported yet. Are you sure that this is related to G-Alarm? Does this happen when an alarm is started? or even when G-Alarm isn't running...

G-Alarm only performs 2 tasks:
1. 15 seconds to midnight it activates the device because of the windows alarm bug
2. 15 seconds to the alarm it activates the device because sometimes it happens that storage cards need some time before you can access the files on it... during the alarm it dims the backlight and is therefore pretty battery saving...

Ageye,

Thanks for this great program. I'm running it on my Kaiser since version 0.2 and without problems!

I have a few options though that might be nice if they are added.......:
1. Add G-alarm to the today-screen so that I can see when an alarm is still enabled (and maybe also to the taskbar at the top)
2. When choosing the start-times for an alarm.....is it possible to, when the arrow is pressed for more than one second that the digits start running automaticly (in stead of ticking multiple times to get to the right number).......if you know what I mean.

Best regards,
John

thanks for your ideas

1. today screen is pretty difficult. I'm using Compact Framework which is not able to build today screen plugins. I'm looking for a solution... taskbar: maybe
2. I had the same thought... will be implemented in the next version...

I agree with number 2. I know on my Tilt, when you click inside the snooze box, the on screen kb doesn't pop up, so I have to press-press-press until I get to 600 (10 minutes). So perhaps also make it that when you click in there, the kb pops up like it does when you click in the alarm name box.

Other than that, it's great!

New Idea for the next version:

A new key to select monday-friday with one click. Or saturday+sunday.
