Phone Alarm small bug - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hey guys I was wondering if someone also has this small bug after installing Phone Alarm. I noticed that my sound tap under sound & notification in setting seems to automatically turn itself off after an hour or so. I then have to go back into setting to turn it back on. Is there a setting under Phone Alarm that I missed or something? Thanx in advance.

You should post to the pA site.. Also make sure you are using verison 1.63.. It has some updates just for the Tilt..
I have had VERY few issues with pA....

I had this issue with version 1.62 that going to a profile with sound set at Zero value and then returning to a normal profile would cause the screen taps to go silent. This required taps to be re-enabled from the Settings / Sound. However the problem is corrected with version 1.63 and everything thing is okay now.

Thanx for all the help. I thought I had got the latest 1.63 but I guess I was still running 1.62. After 1.63 everything was just fine.

Also be sure to check if all your profile settings are still correct after restoring them from the phonealarm settings backup file! I restored from a file I exported on my tytn and some volume settings were set on "leave unchanged"...found out the hard way, when my phone rang in a lecture

Noobie Question:
You were talking about 1.62 and 1.63? I'm guessing that you are talking about ROM versions? If so mines 1.57.502.2 I'm running whatever AT&T. How easy is the update? Is it like a reinstall, similar to reinstalling XP or is it like a patch, like a windows update kinda thing?
I'm Using some French Program for my alarm currently, cause its the only alarm I've seen that works ok and actually wakes up the phone to make a sound. I want a working alarm from the phones standard alarm clock. My one on my BlackJack work amazingly, but I upgraded to this phone and it seems like it does everything except having a decent alarm clock.
I do hope I'm in the right sectionr I own an AT&T Tilt
Thanks in advance.

No we are not referring to the ROM Versions but to the PhoneAlarm versions. 1.63 build 200 is the current latest.

Where would I go to download that? And is for the AT&T loaded ROM file on the Tilt? Or is it like a third party install (if so is it free or paid?) I'm using Pocket Wake Up, Its ok but like I said before its in partialy in french. But it was free.

The website is www.pocketmax.net
And it is just like any thrid party application and it is not free

looking for a good profile app

is there an app that can make my phone vibrate for notifications only when ringer is set on vibrate not all the time?
Just uncheck vibrate on ring... or is there something I don't understand?
and where would I do that, because I can't find it
Get the app Locale if you want what WinMo would call profiles.
For anyone looking for profiles like the Blackberry, there is an app called Quick Profiles and another one named Profiles. I haven't used either one extensively yet.
I'm using Quick Profiles (free in the Market) and I like it.
I haven't tried Profiles yet though.
I use Toggle Settings for profiles, it works pretty well .

It would be perfect if it had Switch/Toggle for APN. Please cooolcat, make one
I love Profiles, it even has the feature to backup your settings to SD card. Great for recovering after a wipe.
cannot find Toggle Setting (Donut) in market
Any help would be really appreciated, I cannot find it in the Market. I am using CM's 4.2.6 which is based on 1.6 and I see original and the cupcake version but no donut.

Contact the developer and ask them. Technically you are still on cupcake. Cyanogen only included bits and pieces from donut for 1.6. That is why you flash the 1.6 HTC recovery image before flashing cyanogen's ROM
I use profiles, works great on newest cm as well.
Only thing I would like now, is the ability as found in nokia / SE phones, to sort incomming calls based on caller groups.
Why? Because I want to be able to be called from work when sleeping, but let everybody else be silenced.

Froyo Alarm clock issue. Any way to install Eclair clock/alarm on Froyo?

After i updated to Froyo from Eclair, i cant just set one alarm. I have to set one for each day, or the whole week etc. In Eclair, i could just set the alarm for 07:30, and it would ring 07:30 the next day. But if i set it for 07:30 now, i waits until the current day, and the alarm go`s off after one week. I overslept the first time i used this new ****ty alarm clock.
Sure, i can set the alarm for each day, but then i have to turn it off after the alarm go`s off, or it will go off the next moring.
This is of course not a very big issue, but its very anoying for me. I want to just set the alarm to a certain time, and not have to worry about wich day the alarm is set to go off. (Like the Eclair alarmclock did)
Is there any way to install the eclair alarm clock on froyo perhaps?
Its the same as Eclair for me !!!
Same here, the only thing that changed is the way you stop it

I just hit the "alarm repeat" button when setting the alarm and choose weekdays, i have noticed it no longer selects the next day as default, it now selects the current day, e.g if i set one now for 7:00am and didn't touch the day it would go off a week today at 7am, you need to select "alarm repeat" then scroll to the bottom, and you will see the days of the week in letters, unselect the current day and select tomorrow. Hope this makes sense

Yes indeed. It makes sense, its just abit more work than on the Eclair alarm clock, wich would go off the next day by default, and without any hassle
Ill leave this subject for now, but i still find it very annoying compared to Eclair alarm clock
Thanks for the replies.
I too experience the same issue. Also have to deselect the previous selection and select new day every time editing the set alarm.
Was Eclair Alarm easy?
Is there a fix to this?
This is my pet hate for Froyo
If I'm correct then most custom roms fixed this issue,
but does anyone know a way to install Eclair alarm clock without installing a whole rom?
I start using alarm klock a free app so now have no problems.
Yes it's a possibility, I know.
But does anyone know the answer for the original question:
Is it possible to install the old or a new fixed version of the alarm clock without flashing a custom rom?

You would remove the APK and install the Eclair APK possibly also the Odex as well .
But thats a question and belongs in Q&A section and may well get an answer as a new topic .
My method would involve reflashed custom rom with the files replaced at root and rezipped and resigned .

This is a solution posted in a Swedish forum.
http://www.swedroid.se/forum/showthread.php?t=30510
I'll try to translate:
1. Download attachment
2. Remove ClockPackage.apk and ClockPackage.odex which are loacated in system/app.
3. Put the file you downloaded in system/app.
Noone in the thread seems to have had any problems with the solution above.
I have not tried it and will of course take no responsibility if anything goes wrong...

[Q] Clock app on Slim ICS 3.3

So I found that the clock app is different, coming from Mosaic 9 and I like the style of it, although one of my problems is that I can't seem to make the alarm sound a song on my phone. Anyway to get a custom alarm in that im missing?
On a similarly related note, I installed a TW Clock or something (can't quite remember the name, looking for the link) but the option to use a custom alarm doesn't work if anyone knows whats going on, although the OP said everything works besides the note that says the time to alarm.
the error it gives me: App package com.sec.android.app.myfiles not found
okay im stupid, im assuming this is because I dont have My Files installed anymore or it doesnt come with Slim ICS, trying to restore the app with titanium backup... any other suggestions?
heres the exact one I DL'd: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558337
Thanks!
Agree, wondering how to get custom alarm sound to display in choices for this clock.
I figured it out. For some reason I couldn't get files to save from the phone but when hooking it up to my computer, I was able to copy files into the ringtones folder. The songs now show up as choices for the alarm ringtone.
kinda tedious, but hey, not that much work.... I *think* setting something as ur ringtone from poweramp should work too if i remember correctly then.
Thanks!

Disappointed with the 77.12.22 update

I was very excited when I got the pop up notification of a system update available on my phone. I dug around online to try and find a changelog with no luck. So I decided to pull the trigger anyway and see if it fixed any of my main frustrations with the phone.
There are 3 things that should be a simple update to fix yet none of the 3 were included.
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858043
Ability to change default homescreen. I like having screen 2 as the default so I can page left for utility apps/widgets and page right for music/play apps/widgets. Apparently the homescreen furthest left is always the default. Every other launcher I have ever used has let you specify which homescreen you want to be the default.
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815915
I spent the $50 or so for the desktop dock since I use my phone as my alarm clock on my nightstand. EVERY time I plug the phone it (set to bedside clock to launch as default) it comes up with an error that smartdock has stopped working. I shouldn't have to revert to an old version of the Google store as a workaround, a system update should have fixed this!
3) Phone/Notification ring volumes are independant with no way to link together. (couldn't find a reference thread)
When I use the volume rockers on the side of the phone it adjusts only the incoming call ringer volume, not the notification volume. If I want both to be loud or both to be quiet I have to pull down the notification bar, tap the settings icon, tap the sound icon, tap volumes and adjust both, which can not be done silently as the ringer plays as you adjust them! THIS IS NOT CONVENIENT AT ALL!!! My old Atrix 4g had the option to link the 2 together which makes the most sense! Again, this should be a simple option to add with a patch.
I know these are little things in the big picture, but the fact that a patch was pushed out and failed to address any of them leaves me very frustrated. Apparently the only thing that seems to have changed with a 70+mb update is a new camera icon.

Sorry to hear that the update didn't live up to your expectations. For your first problem though, I would recommend an alternative launcher. The most popular ones used for ICS and above are Apex Launcher and Nova Launcher (I personally use Nova Launcher Prime, the paid version of Nova).
Just for clarification - you were in the soak test for this update, correct?

Well I guess that's the beauty of Android isn't it. I can download an alternate launcher, find an app to fix the volume thing and roll back to a previous version of the app store and all will be well. Guess it's time to do some "customizing".
If I am part of the soak test it would be news to me. All I know is while I was at work yesterday afternoon I got a pop up saying an update was available. I can't remember if I signed up for anything like beta testing or not.

If you opted in to the Motorola Feedback Network on the Motorola forums, then you are most likely a part of the soak test which is currently testing the update.
Hmm, I went to try my usual logins on the motorola forums page, found out I had only part way registered. It new my username/password but took me to an "edit your profile page" that allowed me to opt in to the Feedback Network. Apparently I hadn't done that before. Also I didn't have any devices registered there. Doesn't look like I got signed up for the soak test that way.
I spent a few minutes playing with 3rd party launchers and found out that the circles widget does not work with non stock launchers. I have come to really like the simplicity of the circles widget. I'll have to decide if a non-optimal default homescreen is worth the hassle to keep the circles widget.
I also tried to revert to an older version of google play music, but can't get it back to the version mentioned in the desktop dock crashing thread.
Downloading a free app called cVolume seems to have linked the phone/notifications volume.
So for now I am 1 for 3 on getting things straightened out. Maybe we will get the JB update soon and all of this will become a moot point...
I have to say I'm very happy with the new update...IMO the software was holding this device back and since the update I have had next to 0 lag.....actually love this device now.....sucks your having issues

Can you tell what has changed in the new update?
Don't get me wrong, the update didn't make anything worse. In fact I have noticed a few things running more smoothly.
My frustration comes from the update seemingly ignoring the minor complaints I have with the software. I was hoping the update fixed the things that bother me and it didn't do that.
Still the phone is a great phone and I plan on keeping it for a while.

After the update my external sdcard has become locked. Unable to add new files / delete old ones. Formatting doesn't work. Any ideas?

I guess you tried to reboot the phone with nothing attached to the usb port but sd card in ?
My phone has never touched a computer until last night when I flashed back to 77.10.16 in hopes of fixing the problem. No go. I read online in a number of places stating that certain phone companies are locking sd cards if it's in during an ICS update. Sadly, this was a class 10 32gb sandisk and it seems like I'll be needing a new one.

[Q] Widgets/apps probs

Hi guys, I really hope I can get some help here, can't find anything about the problems I am encountering.
I am using this phone for about 4 weeks now, and it's working fine, except for some problems with widgets. I have problems with 3 apps/widgets now; they all worked fine on my old phone, a HTC Sensation XE (rooted, with different ROM's and Android versions). They all have strange behaviour. At first I thought I had some settings set wrong in the apps themselves, but I tried everything I could think of and now I have to conclude that the problems start with the phone itself.
I am encountering problems with the following apps:
aCalendar+: widget, but also opened app get in some kind of update loop; sync icon starts spinning, stops and immediately starts again, and on and on. It does sync properly though in the meantime.
Plume: Most of the time the widget does not respond to manually syncing. Only after I open the app and sync manually (which works fine), and go back to the widget, I can finally sync using the widget.
Transparent clock & weather: Most of the time, the clock does not keep track of the time, it just hangs. Only when I tap the widget, or refresh the weather, it syncs with the internal clock, like it should. Sometimes though, the clock does keep track for a short time, but in the end it will hang again.
I tried out a lot of different things with the P7 energy- and network apps settings. Also I upgraded to firmware version 126, but it all doesn't make any difference. It's all really annoying, especially because I never had those issues on my old phone.
Anybody got a clue?

I have test this app.
I think you mean this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droid27.transparentclockweather
I was able to reproduce your problem and solve it.
Please set this app as "protected app". You didn't have set it, so the app would be closed then the screen get off.
You can set this: Settings -> Protected Apps -> Check the checkbox of this app.
Then your widget is working.
Then an app don't set up as protected, the app would be closed on screen off.

Thanks for your help, I already tried that out before. It do not think it made a difference though. Anyway, the time freezing issue also happened when using the phone for some time, I mean without screen off time, so it should not make any difference. But in the meantime I updated the app, and that seems to work.
The links for the other apps:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.withouthat.acalendarplus&hl=nl
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.levelup.touiteur&hl=nl
I contacted the developer of Acalendar+, and as far as I understood there should be an update coming in the near future that should resolve the problem. I installed another calendar app in the meantime, which just works flawlessly, so maybe I just stick to that one...
I hope Plume gets a working update too, so I can enjoy me phone without being annoyed
Thanks again for your effort!

Oops, I just found out you were right about the protected apps thing. I have not had the issue with the screen active since the last update, but indeed, after screen-off time, the issue is back again. So I guess I should indeed use the protected apps setting.
I don't understand why this is necessary though. I mean, the internal system clock just carries on ticking in standby mode, so why wouldn't the app just sync with that automatically when I activate the screen? Or would it be so that the app has always been active in standby mode on my old phone, and is it only because I now have this protected apps mode on this new phone that I am getting aware of this? If you understand what I mean, this is quite hard for me in English...

I've experienced similar issues. Like you I use aCalendar+ which is very good. However I don't use any of the widgets that come with this app. I prefer Smooth Calendar instead. So far, no problems at all. And as for the clocks, it seems a bit hit and miss. I was using DIGI Clock Plus but had no end of trouble with it. It just won't update on wake up. Protected or otherwise. I've given up on it. The clock widgets from HD Widgets work just fine. There's an amazing array to choose from. Maybe it's an Android issue, maybe Huawei. Who knows? I think the best solution is to find apps and widgets that work and discard those that don't.
