anyone know of a good countdown stopwatch util? tried a few, but they were crap
Timer
Depends on what you are looking for. A small, simple, finger-friendly timer which lets you preset 6 different times to countdown is SimpTimer.
Yeah, I've been looking fore one too...
or rather a count UP clock ... that says how long it's been since X
@BelugaHval

Does anyone know if there's an alarm clock program for the tilt?
It seems that tilt is perfect for an a clock program that is full screen and shows time during the night and then has an alarm.
Dude, you need to search before you post. There are lots of alarm clock programs, which have been discussed many times.
Try Handango.
i have ptravel alarm and it works really great! but costs $
Yep, has been discussed often. Every one of the programs out there has its pluses and minuses. The one I really like - and works fine as long as you don't turn off the phone - is WolfClock. If someone can find something that gives you an easy nap function would be great.
This is your standard Alarm Clock with some new features!
Flip your phone over to snooze the alarm.
Customize your snooze time.
Wake up to songs on your SD card.
Version 1, and this is XDA-Devs so I'm counting you guys to give me constructive criticism and report bugs.

This should work on top of the pattern password. When the alarm goes off it needs to pop up on top of everything on the phone.
It looks exactly like the Alarm that comes on the phone and I kinda dont like that since I want to be able to distinguish the 2.
tnx great start

Klaxon can use your phone's accelerometer:
Flip your phone over to snooze the alarm.
Shake your phone to turn off the alarm.
In addition, you can now pick a song off your SD card to use as your alarm sound!

Incidentally I originally created this application for the HTC Touch Diamond, and it was a huge hit... 60000+ downloads.

I think its a good idea, but I can't get the shake to turn off the alarm to work? The snoozing part works good though. Any suggestions? (I also commented this in the market)

Try "long" shakes as opposed to "short" or "quick" shakes. The accelerometers are right next to the speakers, and are very sensitive... while developing this, I found the alarm sound itself would make the accelerometer think it is being shaken. The only way I could fix this was by responding to only certain types of shakes.
Hahaha, the default alarm is not something to be used in a very quiet office environment. I about pee'd myself.
Hey, first off pretty good app and its useful..
i know it might be taking a chunk of your time..but how bout some options like "join the dots" maze or something like that for us heavy sleepers
something like the g-alarm...if you know what i mean...
It doesn't seem to work all the time. Sometimes I shake and it works other times it doesn't work, cool app though! This should be posted in apps thread.
is there anyway to set a default snooze time and a default alarm sound... or u have to set that up with each new alarm that u create....?
The flipover for snooze is really cool. I shook the phone like a crying baby and it would still not turn the alarm off.
How hard and with what intensity does one have to shake the phone to silence the alarm?
BTW: Default alarm made me think the fire suppression system was going off in the data center next to my office.
Unfortunately I had to remove the shake to turn off feature: it's too hard to distinguish between when someone is shaking the phone and when the phone is just vibrating because music is playing.
In fact, there used to be a bug where the alarm would turn off because the music "shook" the phone. Sometimes it would register readings of up to 2.5Gs... which is a lot.
The Diamond didn't have this problem; I am guessing this is because the accelerometer location is probably closer to the speaker on the G1 than it was on the Diamond.
I added customizable snooze this last version too.
The flipover for snooze is plenty enough for me. Definitely a fun and very functional app. Doesn't always like to snooze if its on a soft surface I noticed. I stuck it between two pillows and reached in and flipped it over... took a couple flips to get it to recognize the flip. Works perfect on any hard surface like a desk or countertop.
what about this for an idea: when you pick up the phone upright, it acknoweldges the alarm- when it's flipped over, it snoozes?

Acknowledges the alarm? What do you mean?

old version
Do you have link to the old version with shake?
Does anyone have the Klaxon apk?
I don't see it on the market anymore and I would love to install it.
Thanks.
Here is free version
Just what I wanted! Thanks a lot.
I got my G1 today and I'm going app-crazy at the moment. I love it!
Edit -- NM
Yeah I tried searching for it in the marketplace last night and it wasn't there. Searched again this morning and it is back though.
Hi,
I'm looking for a decent "wake up clock" for Raphael. I used to use Bob's Alarm on my PalmOS Treo, but since I switched to WiMo I can't find a decent replacement.
It needs to have big buttons, snooze option (one-touch preferably), couple of sounds and a scheduled 2-3 alarm modes.

Hi:
I don't yet have my Raphael/Fuze, but the 2 alarms I have seen (that seem Raphael specific, they even have G-sensor functions built in) while browsing the forums are Klaxon and G-alarm. They both seem pretty cool.
Hope this helps
I use this

Try Galarm, I love it, you can set it up to use the gsensor to do a maze to wake your ass up, there is a snooze and variables that you can set. I find it hard to wake up using normal alarm clocks, this one makes it damn near impossible to not wake up with!

hahaha love this program but it's way too easy to flip it over to snooze
+1
SpB Time. Lots of functions but I use it for my alarm and some timers. Alarm is great, any sound or sound file (plus vibrate/sscending options), full screen alert with large touch snooze/off as well as the smaller menu buttons which let you choose the next snooze time up to an hour off.
Stop watch can always be useful but I like the 6 easy to set countdown timers. I have them preconfigured for stuff like the washing machine or standard parking meter.
I use the plugin on my homescreen so it's all very accessible including enabling/disabling and editing alarms without going into the program proper.
Check it out.
I currently use G-alarm, it's okey but not perfect.
The thing that annoys me the most is that it have to turn on the phone at midnight to avoid troubles with the windows alarm. I also find that the use of the G-sensor is not needed. The maze had to be solved before you could even use the snooze function.
SPB Time. I've used it for around 2 years now and it has yet to let me down
re
I like cradle alarm
Ok ive created a basic timer widget
Name in the market:
TimerWidget ( how original )
Location in the market:
Applications \ Productivity
Description in the market:
Always late for appointments or do you let your meals get burned while playing with your phone?
No more!... set the minutes and the modern looking hourglass will fill on your home screen and will alert you when the set timer is elapsed.
Cupcake 1.5 needed (do not open but add as a widget)
Alert sound will be added
----------------------------------------------------------------
If your a bit like me you will find it usefull.. im always using my phone and every now and then totally forget the oven or to leave for an appointment..
Alarm sound and editable timer text will be available soon.
Let me know what you think of it or if you have any useful ideas.
Added alert sound/notification and also it will now wakeup when the phone is in sleep mode.
Next up:
Allow alert modifications (ringtone/vibration)
Resize the icons a bit ( a little bit bigger )
Editable timer labels.
Nice!!! Ill give it a try
If any one has issues or feature requests please let me know
just a quick question does it use much memory just sitting on the desktop without a time running? I have used it a couple of times already and once i dragged it into the bin to get rid of it and yet when i opened task manager it said it was still running?
It shouldnt use a lot of memory when no task is running... The actual alert isnt even depending on the widget but uses the AlarmManager to raise the actual alarm on the given time and it only updates the widgets state when a timer is set.
I will look into the task not being killed when the widget is deleted... It should end normally so ill see what keeps it from being killed.
Thanks for the info.
Can't be found on the market anymore
Not certain if anyone's interested, but on a whim I typed "nook" at the Market and came up with this particular app:
Simplistic Countdown Timer (Chris Pearson)
Coincidentally, I had been looking for a countdown app and had tried several variants. This guy apparently designed it for the Nook Touch and it has a cool set of features (at least for me). It's a single timer, it always shows the time remaining no matter which app/screen you're on and has a clock that does the same. The notification dialog that appears when the countdown has expired stays up until dismissed (even if the Touch goes into sleep mode).
I ended up sending a few emails to the author and he made some rather cool changes including having the timer go above 99 minutes (now it's basically unlimited).
Anyway, thought someone else might have need of a similar app. Available free at the Market.
