Recently I've noticed that reminders which I set up in calendar events have stopped working. Basically, I get no alarm sound, no notification, no nothing. Like I'd never set that reminder up. :-o But at the same time clock alarms are working OK - just these in calendar don't...
I've tried to check notifications queue, clear it up from duplicates using ScaryBear Check Notifications, restart Kaiser - still no luck. I have no idea what to do to get my reminders working again. Any suggestions, anyone?
I'm having the same problem. Also, the voice command works but it continues to repeat the announcement over and over. I've tried pretty much everything I can think of. Did you get any help?
Same here
Any fix to this problem? I got the same thing here. Missed a couple of meetings because of this..
Updates to WM 6?
Any solutions? This is now getting really 'alarming'. Is this a WM 6 issue, and isn't one of the most used features of a smartphone/pocket PC its alarm functionality?
A solution is urgently called for.
Try cleaning up the notification queue using MemMaid
There's a demo version.
Download pmclean from pocketmax.net and use it to clean notifications.
It is freeware!
I've tried pmclean, it does clean up the notification queue, but that doesn't solve the problem of no sounds for reminders and notifications.
I hesitate to try a paid program like memmaid, since people have reported that the problem is not resolved even after using memmaid.
I find it hard to believe that Microsoft is releasing an OS that does not provide robust alarm functionality. But is it possible they have done so?
Possible, certainly.
But do try out MemMaid, they have a demo version.
Memmaid Tried
Bought memmaid v.2 and deleted all the notification que stuff. NO CHANGE. Calendar reminders still not working..GRRRRRRRRRRR
Can someone who have solved this issue soon read this que and report a solution ?
I ran into a similar issue recently, so maybe it can help you.
Do you have QuickMenu installed? If so, are you showing the battery meter on the task bar and in all programs? If you do have this set it may be the cause of your issue. Try unchecking the box to show in all titles, and see if this fixes it.
Hope this helps.
I am now experiencing this. :-(
Did anyone ever find a fix?
Thanks
Only with existing notifications?
Hi,
I do have this issue also. But only with existing notifications. When i make a new calendar item with a reminder, the notfication works.
After i've cleaned the notification queue with memaid (duplicate, dangling, expired and invalid notifications), not a single existing notification is working. But after setting the reminder again (first, set reminder to none, save, and then set reminder again) the notification is working again.
I'm testing now with memaid, which has a rebuild notification queue function. I'm hoping this function will help.
Greetz, Creda
i'm getting this problem now. my phone has been working great until this happened yesterday. i've already hard reset and it occured again approximately 6 hours later. i then fixed it using memmaid but now it's occured again. it seems when i sync to my computer it jacks it up. any fixes?

Does anyone experience not being able to scroll in Messaging, after opening a message and closing it again? It works when first starting Messaging, but doesn't after opening the first message...
Nope - works fine for me. Sometimes the messaging app does funny things. Have you tried a soft reset...and does the behavior persist?
FrankyG
Yeah, I'm soft-resetting all the time. I'll try a hard-reset later this week to see whether it's being caused by some of the custom app's...
Hello,
I have the same problem than you, but i never had an answer to this problem.
If you find a solution, please tell me,...
Good evening
I'm sure this isn't the first time this has been a problem here. I've tried searching and found nothing.
I installed the XDA-Live 1.2... installed flawlessly. Installed the other apps I wanted, everything was working like a charm. Now suddenly I get no audible notifications on either email or SMS even though I have them set correctly. This just started yesterday and I installed the new ROM almost a week ago.
I've checked every setting I can think that would interfere with this and I just can't figure it out. Any ideas?
Here's what I have installed:
AT&T Tilt with the XDA-Live 1.2 ROM
Softkey app
Shantz Today Changer
Battery Status
Mobitv & XM Radio
Google Maps
Telenav
HTC Home Plugin & Customizer
HTC Task Manager
Wireless Today Plugin
IM+
SPB Pocket Plus
Pocket Controller
Mortscript
Pocket Cleaner
Auto Softreset
PIM Backup
SPB GPRS Monitor
I think that's it. Like I said, I've had all this installed since last week except SPB GPRS Monitor and Pocket Cleaner. Those were installed about 2 days ago. Notifications were working after that.
I'm just at a loss. Any ideas?
If this is a stupid answer then apologies but have you tried a soft reset?
That can do the trick if notifications have suddenly given up the ghost.
Not a stupid question, I should have included that I've tried that as well. Thanks anyhow!
did you install vibra, the tool that allows you to turn on vibrate with a button press?
I didn't. I don't have either email or SMS set to vibrate either. Just the sound notifications. I'm really perplexed by this.
This may be another stupid troubleshoot but most problems are normally overlooking settings
Make sure in Sounds and notifications, in the sound tab that Events, Programs and its subgroup notifications are checked. And then in the notification tab make sure play sound is selected!
And don't forget to make sure system sound[i.e. not on vibrate, silent, and/or volume is raised to an audible level] is up too!
If all else fails, a hard reset should resolve the issue, it could possibly be a missing reg key mistakenly deleted.

I agree, hard reset if all else fails and put you app cabs back on one at a time, see if all is OK then move onto the next.
It colud be a conflict with one or more of them.
That's what I was afraid I'd have to do.

Thank you, I certainly will.

I had same problem..
No sound and no camera working,
I fixed it by installing original rom and radio, I read somewhere it is due to radiio.

My sound and camera work fine. It's just those 2 notifications that aren't working. All my other alerts work, even for the IM+ notification.

Just thought I'd update. I hard reset with the XDA-Live 1.2 again. Before adding anything else, I created my mail account (Not an Outlook account) and then tested notifications on email and SMS. SMS is working perfectly once again. The emails aren't getting any notifications at all, no matter what I set. Strange but I can live with it. At least my SMS is back.

Well you are getting one buzz, (OH Bloody hell, turn that water on!) but its really strange for the other? Have you a non-standard audio file selected for your notification for mail because some media files will not play!

But on the serious note. Yeah I've tried every sound file I have. I've tried no sound and just vibrate. I've tried nothing but the message window. It adds the emails and I can see the HTC today screen add the new mail but nothing else. It's very odd.

Do you have any 3rd party apps on (and soz its late here (UAE) so forgot the previous posts) any rom differences (ie cooked)? cause this is peculiar and sounds like a registry conflict!

Nope, I was sure to test this before adding anything other than the XDA-Live 1.2 ROM. I have no idea what's up with it but I can live with it as long as the SMS is working, which it is.
And I should mention, last week when I had initially added the XDA ROM, it worked after that so it's not a conflict in the ROM.
For some reason the "thinking/waiting" animation continues to pop up. Soft resents don't work. I have done a couple of hard resets to start from scratch. It just keeps coming on for 2 seconds and then disappears for about five.
Have you experienced anything similar? how do I fix it?

We need to know what you actually mean.(soz to sound patronising but this is a world wide forum and I have only just got used to 'Tethering'...)
OK, I assume you mean the busy icon (rotating symbol like the hourglass from old windows).
Do you have any automatic mail checks or any other app's that require data access running in the background? (as they will not work without the following) do you have a working internet setup?
Let the guys know these things and someone here will surely help you...
It seems like that pesky Activesync activating. Next time that happens, go look at your taskbar. Most likely its Activesync "activating".
Sometimes it happens too me a gazillion times a day. Sometimes it never happens at all. Still trying to figure that thing out.
To clarify, I am referring to the rotating red/green/yellow/blue circle. Here are the explicit details:
Unlocked TyTN II (ROM version 1.56.405.5)
3G At&T SIM I have a std voice plan and the unlimited media net internet plan
After the last hard reset I installed
Pocket Informant 2007
Memmaid
Resco Explorer
SPB Pocket Plus
I have a hotmail and gmail account setup to check the servers frequently, although that was the case before this started also.
The circle animation appears in flight mode also.

OH WOW....
review your startup apps, use a file explorer and browse to /windows/startup. List for us what is starting up in there.
Unfortunately, i just isolated the cause of that friggin wait animation. I uninstalled SPB Plus 4 and now it is gone....Here is my new problem:
I love SPB Plus!!
What do I do now?
what options of PP4 did you have turned on. I use PP4 and that never happens so it's something in your config.

Well you've grabbed smitty now who will sort ANY network prob out.. I'm off cause he blows me away in this area..
I'm just general stuff and GPS so I know when I am not wanted..SOB! BIG SMILES...
I had all of the options ticked in PP4. I guess the most important to me is the today plugin and the x close app. I will reinstall those and leave everything else out and see what happens.
This kind of sucks.
hmmm... after reinstall PP4, try this:
First, check the options you want and see if the same things happens. If it's not doing it, then maybe it was a bad reg entry on install.
if it's still doing it, then go to settings > system > task manager and make sure everything is unchecked.
My thought process on this is maybe you have the Close button from PP4 and the built-in task manager trying to compete.
Let us know...
i installed the Today Plugin, Close Button, Taskbar Battery Indicator and PIE Enhancements. It looks like smittyofdhs saved the day.
Thanks a lot, guys.

was it just a reinstall that fixed it or did you do something more? It helps to list out what steps you took to fix the problem, for the sake of future users of this forum
glad to hear it's working again....
As simply an enthusiast, not an expert, I am guessing that your advice was the solution. I don't think the reinstall by itself resolved it.
I would say that the original issue stemmed from conflict between the built in HTC task manager and the PP4 x-button.
I uninstalled pp4. Before reinstalling I disabled all function of the HTC task manager. Then I reinstalled only the PP4 today plugin, battery meter, x-button and PIE stuff.
When I have more time, I will uninstall pp4 and reinstall all of the pp4 components as i believe that the issue is isolated as described above.
Thanks again. you saved Christmas.

cool, glad it was something simple. As soon as you said you had the PP4 close button turned on I figured that was the direction to pursue.

Hi Smitty,
I don't think it is the PP4 close button as I have also encountered the problem after installing version 4.0.2. I have always disabled the close button and battery indicator of PP4 as I used WKTask and pwrstat respectively.
As the busy indicator only showed on the Today screen and I have only 3 plugins activated (PP4, HTC Home and Calendar), I disabled the plugins one by one and found that PP4 is the one causing the problem.
Checking the options of PP4, I disabled the "Refresh icons in today plug-in when storage card is inserted." option. The problem disappeared. However, when I enabled back the option, I was unable to simulate back the problem.
Until now, I still have that option on but the problem has not manifest again.

glad you fixed your own issue. In ellistyle's case, my solution helped him. Maybe they are 2 different issues caused by the same app. Either way, everyone is happy with their fix.
So, I got this problem that every freakin' night the alarm goes off at 0430 even the alarm is set at 0800. It also goes off at the time specified ( 0800 ) but it also goes off at 0430. What the heck is the problem, is there a hidden alarm on the phone or what?
No, at one point the phone's alarm was set to that time and never shut off properly. Trust me, most mornings I am ready to throw mine across the room in hopes it explodes from all the wrong alarms lol.
Best way to control it I have found is to be sure to turn off the alarm, not just the soft key disable, go into the alarm and switch it from every day to off while that time is still set. That way it "usually" clears out of the memory by time I set it again the next night.
That said mine will still at random go off at times it has not gone off at for weeks. I am wondering if syncing it with the PC will sync the alarm schedual of nothing and clear it out, since rebooting does not work.
There are other third party alarm programs I have heard of but dont remember names or results people have posted about them.

Which does not always work in mine.
sktools won't let me clear the queue. It says that entries are deleted but they are still there.
Any other advices?
SKTools
hrmmm.... There are some ok documentation write ups on it, not really sure all the problems that cause/correct the alarm problem. It's such a big one, there are a lot of people that have just gone with a different alarm program completely.
A thought, when I first tried SKTools, I didn't actually do it right, then I re-read the directions on the forum post and realized I had not done it correctly. But what has worked for me, is when I go into the notifications queue, and scroll all the way to the bottom, I select EACH entry for clock.exe Then on action I choose Delete Marked. Seems to work until it happens again, due to missed alarm, or whatever else seems to cause it.
Hope that helps...
I'm currently running EnergyRom3.0 series (i believe the 6.05.2009 version) and for some reason every single day at 11:11am and 11:18am the alarm will go off?
obviously there is no alarm set either of those times and all alarms that are set are turned off anyways..I have checked both the Manila alarm settings, as well as through settings/clocks and alarms...both are the same and neither have any alarm set for that..
I've searched around and it seems this is known as a "phantom alarm" that used to occur on older 6.0roms? Either way, the only fix/bandaid was to use SK Tools to clear duplicate notifications..well SK tools isn't free and I don't particularly want to pay for an app that might not fix this..
Other than reflashing, does anyone have an idea how to clear this alarm??
Any help will be greatly appreciated..this is beginning to drive me crazy as every day at work it sounds..even when the phone is on silent..I suppose I temp fix it by setting the notifications to not play sound when phone is on silent but would prefer to perm fix/clear this..
Thanks in advance!
check your calendar. Maybe you have a notification set to everyday and set to remind you.

just checked to confirm and nothing there..i have never used the calendar and it is just a standard alarm that goes off..same tone and snooze/dismiss options as any normal alarm i just cant turn it off...
That sometimes happens when you mess up your database.
Did you restore any data from an earlier backup?
Try to set all of your alarms first, then unset them. Sometimes that works.
There are programs to edit the notification queue, delete duplicate alerts and so on. Try to google some and give it a try.
Good luck!
nope no back up done, just a fresh flash and activesync when it was done..
i also do set all 3 alarms everyday..i just have a few more unwanted one that also go off..the alarms sounds even if all other alarms (note different times too) are set to off..
also today, for some reason all text messages i recieve are said they were recieved an hour prior, well coincidentally my random alarm went off an hour earlier too...
i will see what i can find as far as freeware goes..
thanks
