[Qtek 9100] alarm problem: wizard does not wake up

---

After the duplicates in notifications another old school bug came to me.

My Wizard did not wake up this morning and it is the second time it happens.

when I turned it on the alarm started to go off.

Definitely they built WM5 on a crappy unpatched version of WM2003.

Did it happened to somebody else?
If it is only me I'll try to remove some softwares that could incriminated.
On the other case did you find workarounds.

That's pretty tough if you can not rely on your alarm clock...

this has happened to me recently.

someone suggested a setting under tools, advanced in pocket plus if you have that installed.

waiting to see if that fixes the issue for me ...

Well this has happened to me. I've had my 02 mini for 1 day and on the whole I'm pleased but this AM the alarm did not go off which is a real problem for me. Luckily I had my trusty old xda2s which woke me up. I switched the mini on and the alarm sounded.

No software installed, in fact I skip all the o2 install and just have default windows 5.0. Maybe this is the problem !

This is similar to a problem I used to get on my xda1 when the alarm would not go off ( infact the whole phone locked up and I needed to soft reset in the AM )

Any ideas ?

I had the same problem on Wednesday morning - I set an alarm on Tuesday night, and it didn't wake me up!

I then tried to set an alarm for 15 minutes later than the current time and that work.

i did originally set the alarm to repeat, no light, no vibration and didn't bother making that change for the one that worked. I'll have a play to see if there's any common "feature" of alarms that don't ring.

And yes, I did check that the alarm was enabled , and enabled for the right day!

I'm no further with this - anyone else observed weird behaviour?

Same for me, the alarm goes off when I turn my Qtek 9100 on...

Same thing with my 9100, russian localized. Was late at the office today thanks to this "assistant"!

Hm... My russian localized 9100 works fine.

Message and Alarm issues

Hi all,

As I have found these problem very annoying, I decided to mail dopod, and this is what they said (and some more):

Dear Sir:

The mobile 5.0 system use new operation behavior for ROM control. It will save the changes for setting, file when power off (stand by). So if you soft reset it before power off (stand by), it will cause some data changes lost. Please power off (stand by) first, then reset. It should keep the data changed well.

And the download agent is use for download file in internet explore. It will download the file automatically you select a file it support in internet explore.

Thanks for using Dopod products.

Hi, I recently purchased dopod 838 in thailand. overall I am pleased with its feature and capabilities. But I encountered several problems: soft-reset issues, each time I soft-reset the phone,the alarm which I dismissed couples of hour before rang again! also some of my messages are deleted (sms and e-mail); alarm itself has issues, sometimes it won't ring. btw, what does download agent do? I have visited your website several times now and I haven't seen any improvements ever sice. application section only provide manual and still no games. I would hope to see some application which might help me with my problems, also it would be convenient if you can make it mobile-friendly. thank you for your kind attention, I would appreciate it if I can hear from you soon. Regards, Aditya Pamungkas

Can anyone confirm and comment this? as I have found no problem ever since. thanks

hmm, that doesn't explain why mine didn't set the alarm... I didn't soft reset it.

However, it could explain the root cause: alarms are being set, then the device is turned off before the RAM has a chance to update the registry/flash/whatever...

A bit of debugging should prove/disprove this. I'll have another play
