As the title states, is it possible to use MP3s as your alarm tones? I found instructions on WM5 (registry edits) but the registry entries don't exist on WM6.
i recommend using pocketwakeup its more stable then wm6 built in alarms.
No its not possible ever since wm2003..
Use another program to do it like what jacob said..
mp3 alarm
End Net enAlarmPPC v3.2.4
Requirements: Windows Mobile 5.0 or Windows Mobile 2003 SE
Overview: The MP3 alarm clock for Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 2003 SE is now available in the version 3.2.4 featuring even more new incredible functions.
Features:
The build in alarm clock of Windows Mobile lacks in functionality and usability. That is where enAlarmPPC 3.2.4 takes place. With this program you can set multiple alarms with their own playlist of MP3, WAVE, Windows Media or Midi files. An alarm can be set to start daily at a given time or periodicly at selected weekdays.
Particularly the snooze function of the build in alarm is extremly poorly. With enAlarmPPC the snooze delay can be set indivually. With a simple tap on the screen the snooze function is activated and the playlist continues after the set time.
The ingenious quiz function prevents late riser from activating the snooze function too often while in doze. After a configurable amount of snooze activations the quiz starts. Now it is not possible to activate snooze again until one has solved a simple (but with times increasing difficulty) math calculation. That way the brain needs to at least for short work active and so the wake up process is initiated.
Further it was concidered that the sound files are faded in when played, so the user will not affright when an loud starting sound is played.
Last but not least a title and a message can be entered for any alarm which is largely displayed on the screen when the alarm starts.
Available Languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Turkish
Version History v3.2.4: new functions:
- The current time is now displayed on the main screen.
- A warning will be shown if no sound file is selected.
- A button to test an alarm added.
found this just downloaded from another forum but i think it is cracked so wont be posting the links but you can pm if you wish and i will let you know where i got it from

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

Entries can probably safely be narrowed down by process name?
Thanks,
Matt
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!

Any mods to change the one weakness that i find in the tilt? The alarm isn't long enough, well i guess i can make a wav file for that but dunno how. The problem is it doesn't snooze every 5mins automatically unless you change the settings ONCE the alarm goes on.
Any help?
thanks
SPB Time
Try SPB Time. It works well and does what you want
Pocket Alarm
I use PocketAlarm and it's pretty good
I use Pocket Wakeup with its english patch (Unzip and replace in \Program Files\Pocket WakeUp).
If you use Mortplayer as a music player, you can also use it as an alarm, it has that feature built in.
I'm a heavy snooze button hitter. I sometimes don't remember the alarm ever going off. Problems I have with PDA Alarm Clocks is that the Snooze and Dismiss buttons are always in the same place. I'm looking for an alarm program that moves the snooze and dismiss buttons around the screen (and could possibly require 3 or more presses in different locations to disable.)
Ideas?

Pocket Alarm http://www.wizcode.com/products/view/pocket_alarm gives you the option of adding a confirm message box or it even makes you do a math problem to stop or snooze.
Haha thats funny a math problem will wake me up frustrated as hell. It would be cool if it disabled the buttons so you'd have to use the stylus.
yea I use pocket alarm with the 'alarm 5 sound'
anyone has a more annoying alarm sound as mp3 ??
i use spb time for my alarm clock. It is the first alarm clock that I am able to wake to each day.
I am also a "heavy snoozer" and I use Pocket Alarm. It is the best alarm for me and I do choose the math problem option because I sometimes don't even realize I'm hitting the snooze button and end up waking up late.
I'm attaching a .wav file that is very effective at waking me up. It's loud and annoying, perfect for heavy snoozers.
I actually think I got it here.

You can always try spb time. Very loud alarm and big buttons for snooze and disable. Unfortunately it's not free but you can download the trial and see if it's worth the $$$.
I'm running SPB Time...I like it for all it's features and such. I would just wish that the "OFF/SNOOZE" buttons on the screen would be in different places each time it goes off.

Very easy to use.

Both PocketAlarm and SPB Time are VERY good
I have tried both these: PocketAlarm and SPB Time
Both of these allow using mp3 files for alarms, which was what I was after, while I stumbled on these.
PocketAlarm: Most comprehensive alarm system that I have ever seen. Period. I was pleasantly amused to see the 'math problems', but I do not really need that, as I have a wife to wake me up now
Sadly, it does not have a countdown/countup timer. But as an 'alarm' it is very complete.
SPB time: Complete too, but does not have math problems - but has a superb countdown and countup timer function. I love it.
Which one do I recommend?
I use SPB Time now, as I do not need the math function, and the timer functions are a big bonus for me. So, you choose between them (math problems for snooze OR timer functions).
How about an alarm clock that runs away and hides?

Yeah...I've seen Clocky.
I myself like the "Flying Alarm Clock" It has a propeller like key that flys off the top of the alarm when it sounds. You have to find this key and replace it in the top of the clock to silence it.

Good find! I had held off buying a clocky as I don't think it would get very far in my bedroom lol! This is perfect and cheaper, I just bought one!
Im using "End.net enAlarm" right now... It works fine for me, unlike SPB Time that often dosent play the sound on the alarm. End.net have like "Pocket Alarm" a mathproblem for you to solve befor the snooze shuts of...
And for the alarmsignal I use this one that im attatching, its a hell of a noice when this goes off. If you sleep thru this alarm, your dead
Add new ring tones to windows mobile
I would like to use the alarm clock of windows mobile and add to it some new alarm tone.
I tryed to add them in windows forlder and windows\rings folder but it doesn't work, I can see these new alarm tones in the setting menu of the alarm clock.
Please help me...
I rely heavily on calendar reminders to get things done, and with Windows Mobile it was perfect - you could either dismiss, or snooze for days at a time. The iPhone had no snooze. Android does have snooze, but it seems to be predetermined. Is there any way to adjust this on the fly?
My app searches end up finding alarm clocks, etc.
Calendar reminders
I don't know about changing the snooze time, but you can adjust the time when you get the popups or emails reminders about a certain date and time.
YESS ive been searching how to do that for days.. but gave up, if anyone finds out please post.
I've been looking for a way to change the WM alarm snooze times for a very long time with no success. I use the ability of Pocket Informant to set multiple alarms for an appointment as a workaround. There's a small '+' to the left of the alarm box when entering an appointment that can be used to set extra alarms. I just dismiss my reminders, knowing that I've set another nearer the time. It's not ideal but better than what's built in.
My Kaiser has a Shifu3 WM6.5 ROM.
In this ROM, with TouchFlo Today, the reminders pop up with a white window showing the appropriate text.
Either pressing Snooze or Delete, the reminder application closes itself by calling Today screen.
Even if I was working on other application (i.e. Facebook) at the moment of the reminder.
This is a problem, as I want to use a different Today (SP Home Shell). But if SPHomeShell is enabled, the reminder application calls, when closing, anyway TouchFlo today, that is disabled, so the phone stucks with a totally white today.
So i simply ask:
1) does it exist a way (registry?) to set TouchFlo reminder to close itself calling the "default Today" (or, better, by simply closing itself not calling any different application) instead of TouchFlo Today?
2) This reminder tool only shows "Snooze" or "Delete". The problem is that Snooze has a fixed time (I suppose 5'). Standard WM reminder has a snooze menu, that is much more useful. I'd like very much to find the way of using default WM reminder instead of this one....
Thanks
