Alarm clock from hell - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi,
Does anyone else have a problem with their alarm clock on the Dimond?
I've got an T-Mobile MDA Compact IV and when the alarm clock goes off i cannot turn it off !! ..
Usually on windoze mobile you get a popup, but i think its been hidden behind the Today screen. The only way i've managed to turn it off is to go Start -> Settings -> Clocks -> Un-tick the alarm then press ok. Which is a real pain in the arse at 7 in the morning. Then you have to remember to turn it back on again after a min! ...
Does anyone else have this issue? and does anyone have a solution its really driving me nuts.
Thanks
-Rich

Go into Sounds and Notifications and set it to Display Message on Screen.
And DO A SEARCH next time - this has been discussed and it's out there

Thanks..
Sorry.. I have read many many threads but there are so many threads in this forum i cannot read them all!.. Something like this should go in the Wiki.

Did you try the same solution ? Done it yesterday, worked fine. The only problem was to find the relevent option for "reminders" (which happend to be "rappels" in french), and here we go.

Auto popup Keyboard in SMS/Mail, Batteryalarm

Hi All,
I have a question. Every time I open a SMS/Mail the keyboard pops up automaticly while most of the times I only want to read the message.
It is making the screen smaller and it takes time.
Is there a way to solve it?
Further I did not find a way to have an audio/acoustical alarm when the battery is finished so in a call the phone will switch of at once and immediately without warning.
Do I miss some settings or .......
Thanks in advance for help, Remco
When you get the message...instead of opening it there...click on the inbox in the lower left area of screen and that will open it up without the keyboard...when you click on it in the envelope or sms screen...it opens it because it thinks you want to reply straight away.
Battery alarm??...dont think there is one to be honest. I havent seen anything in the notifications or alarm section of the phone...Shame really as it would have been useful to have some sort of alarm going off when the battery gets low or is about to die.

same thing here the keyboard pops up automaticly when opening message ?!
click on the inbox in the lower left area
cant find it ?
do you mean the notifications when new message comeup
yeah i also find it really annoying that the keyboard pops up automatically everywhere.
it was not like this on my old Wizard with WM5.
i looked around in the options but cant find anyway to not make the keyboard pop up automatically yet.
It's because you have no Hardware Keyboard, and as the OS assumes you want to reply, it's helping you out. You'd probaly find theres a bunch of people who love this feature as much as you hate it
Rory
lol
Why dont you just read it in TF3D? bt yeah as for the the battery sound you can go into sound & notifications and select to enable sound for 'Events' thats the best i can think of atm.
I also find it frustrating with the keyboard.
Can this be set with a registry key to not have it pop up.
If i need the keyboard I can klick down in the middle of the screen to bring it up.

Nope there is no solution to this problem. There will never be a solution to this problem.
DONT try and search this forum for a solution to this problem because searching for a solution to this problem will not find a single solution to this problem.
There IS NOT a cab installer available to fix this, just as there is NO registry entries available in this forum to solve this problem
There has in fact NOT been 3 Topics in the last week that have solved this same problem.
I suggest starting a few more new topics in the forum asking for solutions to this problem.
Sorry for the sarcasm but jeez how many times must the same question be asked in the same forum in the same week!!!!

Dismiss Alarm Box Unchecks itself

every 2 or 3 days when my alarm sounds i get no onscreen noticfication to dismiss the alarm, only the symbol in the status bar.
When i look into sounds notification/reminders i see the "display message on screen" box is unchecked again so i recheck it.
What causes this to uncheck itself?
are you experiancing this behaviour or have any insight into the cause?
thanks
I have the exact same prob. It started when I used Diamond TF3D Config prog to change the diamond theme.
Dont know why it happens bro.
Anyone knows how to disable Missed Alarm Alert (symbol on the status bar) so I don't need to go to status bar console and remove it every morning ?

I believe i was having this problem before i had installed Diamond TF3D.
The search continues.
Im having the problem on TLR3 ROM and i know people who are also haveing this trouble on 1.37 original ROM and the 1.93 Original.
I'm using TF3D Config and also 1.93 ROM but I don't seem to have this issue?
Although I have never used it to apply a 'theme' only, to change date/time format and apply one of the performance tweaks.
Have you guys updated your TF3D config via apptodate and also tried restoring defaults (within TF3D config) and then tried applying your settings again?
i too only use TF3D config to format the date, i have updated it using apptodate.
I may uninstall it and see what effect that has, im not really sure that TF3D is the cause of the problem.

Yes, I'm on the original 1.37 ROM and am seeing this - bl00dy annoying too as it seems such an odd 'bug'....

Had this happen again today, really annoys the wife as i spend time trying get the phone to shut up.
I have made no progress determining the cause, but it does only seem to uncheck the box after a soft reset, but strangley not after every soft reset..... the plot thickens
This problem only happens after i reset the device, but not every time.
As i cant find the cause i was thinking of a way to fix the problem.
i found the reg entry for the reminders show "on screen"
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{15F11F90-8A5F-454c-89FC-BA9B7AAB0CAD}
and i have the values for the box checked and unckecked.
I have been googleing for the past hour but having no luck with what i want to achieve.
I would like to write a batch file to open a reg file that will change the dismiss box registry entry to the checked value, but it seems batch files cannot be run from the windows start up folder.
Im not very technically skilled with programming so could someone more knolegable point me towards the correct way of doing what i desired, which is change a rehgistry value at start up.

I could write an executable that will restore the registry entires on start-up but I can't find the registry value that controls it.
Which value are you editing?
Start / Settings / Sounds and Notifications
Page Notifications
Event - choose Reminders
Check on Display Message.

If that was in reply to me, I'm looking for registry entry!
This thread seems closest to the problem I have.
For me it is always that on alarm there is no popup where I can dismiss the or snooze the alarm
I always have to unlock the phone (by entering password), tap the status bar, then choose the alarm button and then the pop up appears as it should have done by itself.
This is always, no matter if I reset or not. And, I have checked on "display message" when I look into the settings.
This is freaking weird and annoying.
I've noticed the box unchecks after the sync process via Activesync.
I'm pretty sure it's caused by particular side software we have installed on our Diamons. I propose to post the side software list we have and then point out the pattern.
My list:
MS Voice Command
Finix Battery Icon
Splash ID
Sprite Backup
Diamond Tweak
Resco Explorer
Yandex Maps
Skype
CorePlayer
G-Alarm
Manila Calculator Skin
Yota TV
Nice idea but already flawed given you've not published an exhaustive list. A case in point being Activesync - that's a resident piece of software and furthermore one which you suspect as possibly being responsible!
Or are you certain it is a non-Windows issue? That's quite a leap of faith given we've all previously been scratching our heads...
I don't mean to come across negative, but I also don't want to see a futile attempt at finding a solution!
Mathew
No I am not pretty sure it's not Windows issue. However, if it is, why there are so few of us suffering?
I suspect G-Alarm, got to try to play around with it being uninstalled.
I'm having the same annoying problem since running the 2.03 official ROM. On the 1.93 I never had this problem. I didn't install G-alarm or TF3DConfig.

That's a very good point, although it could quite simply be down to a combination of i) a limited number of people using the alarm, ii) affected users not being bothered by the issue, and/or iii) affected people not realising they are being affected!

Still getting SMS Sent Notification

Hello everyone, I've googled the hell out of the problem i'm having with my phone and I'm still coming up with no luck. I've reg hacked the bejesus out of my phone, using KaiserTweak and AdvancedConfig. After installing Rumball's UI/themes (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2326335&postcount=28) I noticed that I'm still getting SMS sent notification, both icon, bubble, and sound. In KT or AC, I can look into the messaging section and see that I'm set to disabled...yet even after a soft reset i still get the notification.
Can anyone lead me in the right direction? I know a hard reset would handle the problem, but after 4 hours of tweaking to get match that setup, I'm hesitant to do that.
If a fix to this this is posted in another thread, please help me with posting the search string you used to find it so I avoid making redundant noob posts in the future. Thank you!
Josh
By any chance are you using the application phonealarm?

I had this exact problem a few days ago but I dont know whether the solution will be the same. I had gone into advanced config to change my settings but the panorama setting for the camera can only be found in the
Try the following:
1. Run advanced config and go into the Messaging tab making sure Sent Notification and Delivery Notification are Disabled and then click done.
2. Now run your kaisertweak program and goto the Text Messages section making sure Sent Notification is Disabled and then close it.
3. Now goto your sms inbox and click on a txt message to open it. Click Menu at the bottom and select Message options making sure Delivery Notification is unticked.
If none of those steps fix it then try uninstalling Rumball's UI/themes.
If all those steps have been checked and ur still getting a delivery notification then I dont knnow what it is.

Repeating alarm Hack for 6.1

I have searched and searched for a new hack for making our alarm repeat.
Everything I found did not help.
Does anyone know what registry line to change to repeat it continuously.
I had one for wm 6.0 and it worked great.
Thanks

Does simple ticking "Repeat" box not working?

Ooh, neat program! Thanks kristoff_sz, I'm going to try that out tonight.
It would be nice if the built in windows one would just repeat though. Checking the repeat box makes no difference.
The repeat box does work... Or should. you just can't push "Dismiss" because that means you closed/turn it off. So if you press ignore or whatever the other button is on the right, it should repeat. : )

On the AT&T 6.0 and 6.1 roms it does not. You can set it to repeat, but the sound plays once and never again. Very annoying.
So the alarm built in IS a pos. I haven't had mine too long and was driving me nuts!

Thanks! I'm going to try that later.
HTC has a decent phone...but seems like their software just sucks or isn't user friendly.
the repeat function does work if your set tone is short (ie an annoying alarm tone), but I've noticed that it doesn't repeat if its long (ie song clip)
btw, i'm using AT&T 6.1 but it worked when I had 6.0 as well

Can any of u help me on this, if it only rings one time i will certainly not wake up...
