Okay, before I got my Wizard, I had a Samsung Blackjack and it supported ringtone profiles, one of which being an Automatic profile. It would go to vibrate when your calendar said you were busy and back to ring when you were free. Does anyone know of a program or plugin that does the same for a PPCPhone?

There was a "secretary" program of sorts on the earlier Faria installs. I don't have it on my phone currently, worked well.

I want this too. It's also on the Dash WM6 version. A coworker showed it to me.

Hey all,
I was curious if anyone knows any good alarm clock apps. It's really quite annoying that the default WinMo alarm clock doesn't work if you have your device silenced, but I don't wanna be woken up at night from someone texting me or whatever.
Does anyone know a good alarm clock app that will work and override the system volume?
Thanks!

I use mort player, it has an option to start a playlist on alarm like IPODs do or play a separate file. It doesn't have to be on for the alarm to work.
Search google or xda for: Mort Player
I have been using pTravelAlarm, and its woke me up fine when the phone is on silent or vibrate.
Has 10 different alarms to set, and can use mp3 files as the sound.
Only problem i have found is, when it starts up when the phone is on standbye, it beeps. I have a soft alarm, because i hate being woken suddenly, which is what the beep seems to do when on 'loud'
Halftone: If you uncheck 'events' in 'sounds and notifications' the beep is gone
Another pTravelAlarm user here. It's one of the first applications I install on a new PDA / after a hard reset.
Thanks!
Okay, I will check out those apps,
Thanks guys!
-yeagy
CradleAlarm 4.0
I just swiched to the new version of pTravelAlarm, now CradleAlarm 4.0. Very reliable and much more responsive than pTravelAlarm when editing alarms. Same great "force volume" feature that sounds even if the ppc is on silent.
I use Chronos and it works great.
SPB time
I use SPB time..The alarms that you can set are quite loud and works well for me.

This is very good and free

I use this one also and so far i'm very pleased with it. Windows is known for the alarm bug but if you use SPB time you won't be supprised waking up to late because the alarm failed to go off.

Hello. Here is what I am looking for and maybe my Fuze can already do this, but I can not figure it out.
I would like to have more control of the phone profile options like I used to have on my Blackberry phones. Basically I want to be able to make custom profiles.
For example. With my old phones I was able to use an "advanced" feature in the phone profile section to create what I called a "night" setting. When this setting was activated the entire phone was on silent (texts, emails, etc, everything was silent) EXCEPT the phone, which would ring if I received a call. So it was basically a "phone only" setting. This was perfect at night because I would only receive a call if it was a real emergency.
Or let's say I want EVERYTHING to vibrate EXCEPT the phone that I want to ring. On my Fuze I see how to put the entire phone on "vibrate" or "silent", or "normal", but how do I adjust those profile settings if I want to or create new profiles
Is there a program/script/plugin that will accomplish this? Or can I already do it on the phone?
Thanks for any help with this.
i am looking for something like this too so if anyone knows of a program that does this or can make one that would be really awesome.
phoneAlarm from pocketmax.net is the program you want.
You can create several different profiles controlling everything from ring and alarm tones to backlight level to WiFi status and automate switching between each of them based on time, appointment, location...
Though written as a Today screen plug-in, there is a TouchFlo support mode that lets you run TF as well.

dgduris, thank you for the info. I am going to go check it out now to learn more. I am currently using spb Mobile shell. Does it work with this program?
thanks again for the info. I will report back what I find and how it works!
How does phonealarm support TouchFlo? I used to use phonealarm with my 8525. But with my new Fuze, I've been trying out SBSH Phoneweaver. Which seems to be working well enough. It has a pop-up profile screen menu overlay that I set to one of my buttons.
spb phone suite was the answer for me. really a nice program.
does spb phone suite mess with the Touch Flo? and my manila? i dont want to have the entire SPB thing show up in my home screen. I want to it to be like an app where i can just open it and chang I just want to be able to change profie profiles and then close it again.
I believe it will be in your profiles or setting list and it does not mess with TF3D. It works great with my Mobile Shell touch screen settings also.
This is a collection of registry tweaks to allow greater control over the notifications in WM, including the ability to prevent repeating sounds for reminders. What it does is enable the controls in "Sounds & Notifications" that are normally unavailable for several types of notification.
It's a further enhancement of Juggalo_x's enhanced notifications, which has never been updated or particularly well explained (at least not on this website!) ... I have also included the low battery tweak, as suggested by juiceppc in that thread.
Large credit goes to fredjones32 for this guide with an explanation of the registry values and how the repeat check box can be enabled.
These are the notifications included:
ActiveSync: Begin sync
ActiveSync: End sync
Beam: Autoreceive
Connection disconnected
Connection established
Low battery
Messaging: Downloading MMS
Messaging: MMS downloaded
Messaging: MMS sent
Messaging: New e-mail message
Messaging: New MMS
Messaging: New MMS report
Messaging: New text message
Messaging: Sending MMS
Phone: Missed call
Phone: Voice mail
QuickGPS
Reminders
Wireless network detected
NB: Installing this CAB will turn off all notifications for all of the above events. If you go into Sounds & Notifications you will be able to turn on the ones you want again. This happens because the 'repeat' checkbox cannot be enabled without changing the registry value that controls which notifications are set. It is difficult to preserve the previous values during a simple CAB installation - but if anyone knows of a way please let me know. Detailed settings, for example sound file names, are not lost.
thanks mate
Hi Dave!
Thanks for this great piece of enhancement for all of our diamonds
I'm going to look into it!
Have a great weekend
Regards
Jeroen
Thanks Jeroen, let me know what you think.
you have a good one too!

Hi Dave! Thanks for your reply
I tested it yesterday...it's working great, except for one thing
I'd configured the notifications for text messages. I used the option repeat which was also available, so than I wont have to miss the alert about my messages...
But what happened, I heard every ten seconds my alert, I opened my message and It just went on and on and on....even though I already opened and read my text....that's quite strange/odd.....(hope you'll understand what I mean)
Did you had same behaviour on your device??
For the rest..I really really found it useful!
Many thanks again and I hope everybody is going to like it, just as I do!
Cheers
Jeroen
Hi Jeroen,
I don't use the repeat setting - I was mainly interested in being able to turn the repeat off for reminders! I use SPB Phone Suite on my phone, which allows you to configure sounds that repeat every few minutes until the original notification has been dismissed. The beauty of that system is that it is all configurable by profile, so when the phone switches itself into night mode the repeating sounds are turned off. It's not free but there must be some alternatives.
I've just had a play with the normal repeating sounds and you're right, they're particularly ****ing useless.
thanks I really needed that
Davey 101,
Thank you for compilations.
Davey,
Thanks for this application. I've used a couple of your applications/suggestions before (I can't remember which one - bluetooth perhaps) and they all work great. Thanks for your great contribution.
By the way, I have installed this and it works on WM6.5 too.

thank you for developing this. now i won't have to go climb a bell tower. those repetitive reminders were more than just annoying while i was on a call driving and couldn't shut it of.
thanks again.
Turn off led
Davey101 how to turn off led light notifications, because this .cab is only unblocking options
any-way of making this work when phone is turned to vibrate mode? works great when phone is in ring mode for me!
I thought this should be fixed by now (before I had WM5 and later WM6, where interestingly enough the problem did not occour), but actually it's worse than ever.
On my Vario III with WM6.1 I can define 3 alarms (and I don't mean notifications in the calendar or stuff like that, I'm talking about ALARMS, i.e. what gets you up in the morning ).
The problem is that all 3 Alarms remain active and go off even if they are not defined as active. Also older Alarms go off which I have deleted some time ago.
I googled on this and one site recommended MemMaid which was supposed to take care of this problem. Well, in theory it is, in practice sadly not, as it does tell me that there are no duplicate or uncorrect notifications in the notification queue - yet there I can see them with my own eyes. I tried a little bit and it's definitely those entries. I have deactivated all my alarms which should result in no entries in the NQ, yet there they remain and go off in the morning (along with all the others, existent or non-existent, active or not active). I can remove them manually to solve the problem one time, but as soon as I define some new alarms it is back again.
Can anybody help me with that. As it is I cannot use my Vario III as an alarm clock in the morning because I have no way to tell which one of the "illegal" alarms will go off, so I just put in on mute and use a regular alarm clock.
Hoi Eric, I did have the same problem (i think) with my previous WM version. When i did go on a bisiness trip and did change my Visiting time my alarm still goes of on the Home time. I where not able to fix this. I did an hard reset and never changed the visiting time until i did an rom update. Now i an running an update like this: (this is not the one, i used V8 from june, but i cant find the link)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507281
and the problem is gone. I can set an visting time and i have no more problems. I hope this was helpful. goodluck
Try G-Alarm
I use G-Alarm and it will try to fix the Windows alarm problem the first time you run it.
G-Alarm 1.5.1 is the last free version before they went commercial.
This is not my 4shared. I only found it from a Google search. Thanks to the host for making this availible.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tip. I am still not sure if this has solved the problem though. After installing G-Alarm reported to fix the Windows Alarm bug, I thought "hey, cool". Yet today in the morning again rang 2 alarms of which only one was set. I am not sure as if this "fix" was just fixing lacking functionality or if it was supposed to also remove any false alarms. In the latter case it didn't do that.
Anyway, I deactivated all alarms and then removed all the alarm entries I could find from the registry manually to make sure that there was really no alarm active. Then I set a new alarm for testing. This went off as expected, so I deactivated it and set yet a new alarm for waking me up tomorrow.
As far as I can tell from the registry this new alarm is the only one active now (for whatever reason there are 4 entries of it in the registry), but that remains to be seen tomorrow.
Will report back once I know more.
As to G-Alarm: It's a nice program, but setting up an alarm is way to much effort (I think you have to pass through 6 steps) compared to the built-in alarm function of WM. It's got some nice features, I must admit, yet all I really care about is a reliable alarm feature, that's all.
I report back and indeed G-alarm was the solution to this problem. Yet it only fixes the Alarm Bug in WM, it does not fix (delete) the false alarm entries in the registry. In order to be rid of false alarms that must be done manually. from that moment on the alarms work as they are supposed to.
Thanks for the help, guys.
I'm not so good in English ... but do you say that G-Alarm fixed your problem ? .. cause I'm having the same problem last 2 weeks ...
or the only way is doing it through the registry manual ? if yes ... can you pls PM me some instructions how to do that?

Those alarms are called "ghost alarms". I used the applicatioin MemMaid and it fixed that problem.
I hope this helps.
Edit: I found this, but I didn't try it

Hi!
I'd like to ask for your help. What I want is to use my alarm (to wake me up) and at the same time ringing and vibration for incoming calls and SMS should be muted. I.e. alarm with phone profile set to Silent.
Currently I use Pocket WakeUp application which does not offer such possibility.
(This is no problem with my old SE K750 "dumb-phone".)
Thanks
i can suggest TWO options:
1. if you want to use the windows mobile built in alarm functionality, go to Settings->Clocks & Alarms and make sure that "Sound alarms even when the device is set to silent or vibrate" is CHECKED.
2. use "G Alarm"! you can find version 1.5.1 somewhere...it was the last version that was free. if you like it, go ahead and pay for the LATEST version. it is an EXCELLENT alarm application.
i personally use option 2. option 1 is available on most new versions of windows mobile. i'm not sure if it is present in windows mobile 6.0 but i am sure i have seen this option in every build of windows mobile 6.5 and 6.5.x that i have used.
Thanks, ASCIIker!
The problem I'm having with the 1st method is that I can't set the alarm sound to whatever I like (WM6.1)
So I'm probably going to try G Alarm.
Although it looks as though the OP has already decided to try Galarm, I thought I'd post to say that I quickly found version 1.5.1 last night and have used it succesfully today. It's a cracking little bit of kit and works as you would need it to.
You can switch your profile to mute or silent and the alarm will still go off in the morning. The added bonus for me was that you could personalise elements such as snooze time, puzzles to wake you up or prevent you snoozing, you can create a playlist of mp3's as your alarm tone, you can start other apps be default too.
Awesome bit of software and it's easy enough for a noob like me to understand.
I finally got to test Galarm. Well, on the positive side it works. And on the negative, it is quite slow on my HTC Kaiser
Edit: Well, it is slow, but it does not have to be running permanently
