I set the alarm and now always rings at the same time even if not set. I can not turn it off. What about it?
are you sure your turning it off properly?
Uncheck the box in alarms, and for safe measure go ahead and un-select the days.
I have that problem intermittently as well. For me it just goes away for awhile after a soft reset.
If that still doesn't work maybe you can try changing the alarm sound to a blank audio clip?
I want to reflash my ROM because of this, but my usb port is all jacked up

mine broke as on my previous kaiser, why don't you flash it via your SD card? i had to flash it back to original spl and rom to do a warranty exchange, all was done from the memory card.

I've always found alarms under Windows CE pretty flakey, especially when I go across time zones. It seems clear to me the Windows Mobile people have never traveled across a time zone.
You can use FdcSoft TaskMgr (you'll have to google it) to delete the alarms in the event queue, I've seen up to three days of future alarms there even when I've cancelled them in the actual alarm.

Yeah I have had the same problem with the generic alarm built into the rom... it will go off when it's supposed to, but sometimes it won't turn off after i shut it off, and sometimes it will actually freeze the system, or it won't stop vibrating until I soft reset.
THe phantom alarm as it was named was a WM bug and can be solved via clearing event que "just like awbcmu said"
I use SKTools to clear the notification que "have never had probs with alarm as since the day i read posts about long time ago, have always used another alarm program"

Hello,
I have a problem with the reminder function. The phone reminds me on times which aren't configured but were in the past. I first thought thats a problem of phonealarm or pocketzenphone, but this time, both tool weren't installed and the problem appears again.
This occures on any ROM i installed, at the moment Faria's 3.3 V2, but also superrom 1.1 had those problems...
Does someone knows something regarding that problem? I don't know where the problem could be. But I know that I'm nerved because of the reminder rings at any times I ever configured...
You may need to provide some examples on your problem. Eg, when you set it and how long before it went off, etc
You may want to scan it using 'check notification' by 'scary bear'(?) .
Hm, it's not really reproducible. I have three reminders on, e.g. 06:00, 10:00 and 18:00 o'clock. And now it rings always additionally at 10:30. This time was configured sometime in past. But: I have configured also other many other reminders at other times, they don't ring. So, not all in the past edited reminders are popping up, but some.
I'm not sure what you mean with
"You may want to scan it using 'check notification' by 'scary bear'(?) ."
but I will have a look et the board, what it could mean
OK, I found the software, checking it currently... thanks!
I found on his page also the tool: Notification Clear Fix!
The description tells me there's a problem with old notifications... that's my problem...
OK, I found the notification 10:30 in that tool... and other too!
what does this mean now?!
there must be a problem with this app clock.exe. hmmmmm, strange, when does that happens and why...?!
If your phone get distrubed in some way (eg software hang, weird softreset) it will mess up the notification queue. That's the fix the messed up one. just make sure you don't hang your phone too much.

My phone hangs too often... hm
Please forgive me if this is being discussed elsewhere, but I skimmed through the Kaiser forum, and I didn't see anyone else mentioning this problem. My phone automatically reset the clock for DST yesterday, and looking through the calendar today all the appointments are an hour off. For example, my work schedule. On the day summary page it says I work 07:30 - 21:00 today, however when you click edit appointment it says 06:30 - 20:00. On Wednesday I have jury duty. On the day page it says that jury duty starts at 10:30, however it really starts at 9:30, and if I show up an hour late I am in contempt of court!
Is there a setting I am not aware of? When I click edit appointment it shows the correct time, but on the day page its an hour late. The thing that really bothers me is that since I have an erratic schedule at work I have it set to remind me an hour before, just in case I forget to set my alarm clock the night before. Today I got my 1 hour reminder while actually driving to work!
I am using the new Tilt ROM, details are in my signature.
Thanks, Jay
Update: I've been on the phone with AT&T tech support for 30 minutes now, and it still doesn't work right ...

If you are saying the Today Screen Calendar is off by an hour, but the calendar inside the pda is ok; A soft reset should fix your issue.
We had a couple of Hermes and kaiser's with this issue yesterday.
Try the attached cab
Ok, I 've been transferred to HTC support from ATT, which is nice, I didn't have to call them myself, and the ATT rep explained my problem to them. There is a hotfix of this issue, I haven't tried it yet, but I figured I'd share. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949168

WOW! Mine is too!
Didn't even notice.
All my calendar events were changed from 8am start to 9am start.
What the heck?!
Yeah, it's stupid daylight savings time. You have to download a patch from microsoft to fix it, can do it straight to the phone by going to www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile and hit the Update option. I don't really understand why it couldn't just be automatically sent thru the Windows Update option under Settings...talk about a frustrating issue though!
now the question is will it work with 6.1
I saw this coming days ahead because of my scheduling :S...
Anyways, what fixed for me was just fixing the time on my Kaiser, all but one (?) appointments switched back to the original time automatically. No extra cabs or tweaks.
Good luck with that.
I've tried running that patch, and after installing the cab, it resets the Tilt, and then when it comes back everything is still the same. I've tried switching to a different timezone, and then back (per the advice in the another thread) to no avail.
Jimmyv - what do you mean you "fixed" the time?
Jay, please keep us updated as to what you're finding out.

I tried resetting the clock, but the appointments were not effected. I just got back from lunch, I'm going to try the cab now.

Keep in mind this is not, nor should it be considered, a permanent fix. I don't know what long-term problems this could cause, but I'll tell you how I got it to work for me.
1. (Not sure if this is needed, because it didn't seem to change anything) Install the 2008 DST update from Microsoft.
2. Make sure all your appointments are still set to their original times (As in, you didn't change the original hour so that it'd remind you with it's skewed view of reality )
2a. (You may not have to do this) Under the Phone options dialog (Settings -> Personal -> Phone), go to the 'Time Zones' tab, and uncheck 'Automatic change time zone and clock'.
3. Go to the clock settings dialog (Settings -> System -> Clock & Alarms) Set the time zone to the one an hour behind you (-6 to -7 is what I did)
4. Set the time, manually, an hour ahead. (In the system clock dialog, there are two options for time: Time zone, and time. Set the time zone an hour behind, then set the actual time an hour ahead.)
5. Enjoy. Your appointments should now be okay.
I do hope someone figures out what's really causing this, though, because I'm not keen on changing the time zone every time DST comes into effect.

YEa... had this problem myself. Figured it was a good time to hard reset and reinstall since I had a crapload of stuff I didn't use anymore.

A hard reset wouldn't be bad, but I really don't want to re-enter all of my appointments. Otherwise I could fix it by just deleting all the appointments and re-entering them.

I think the problem is that 2 things are trying to do the same thing. The network is trying to adjust for DST and windows is trying to do it too. I wish there was a way to just turn off DST and let the phone manage the time.

I just had a brainstorm! I'm in the eastern time zone. (GMT -5) Indiana does not participate in DST. I switched my time zone to GMT-5 Indiana, and all my appointments are correct now. I'm leaving autoupdate time on the phone, so this should take care of itself, and the phone will manage the time changes.
-Jay
I just realized you do have to turn autoupdate time off to use my earlier method. Futhermore, due to the same problem, I'm not sure you're new method will work forever. The reason I had to turn autoupdate time off was because the network told my phone it was -not- in the -7 time zone. I think, after a little bit of time, it will tell you're phone it's not in Indiana and you'll be stuck with the same problem all over again. x.x I'm going to look at the registry for the clock/calendar integration and see if I can't find some hidden setting that'll stop the clock from messing with the appointments. I'm pretty new to this though, so don't bet on my finding something that'll work. Any help from someone smarter would be very much appreciated. ;D
Edit: Sadly, the only thing I could find that looks anywhere close to something in relation to this is the value TimeZoneInformation in HKLM\Time. I can't figure out how I'm supposed to edit that so that changing the time zone doesn't touch the appointments, though. I'm not even convinced it's possible. Anyone else know any registry values that might relate to this problem? I'm going to try and decompile the MS patch next to see if I can find any hints with what they did.. Even if it didn't work.
This is my first time using this site and it's great! I'm sorry for any stupid questions I ask that may have been answered somewhere else already. I have the ATT Tilt/HTC Kaiser 8925 and love it...recently the ringer randomly switches to vibrate. It does it sometimes when I'm using the calendar/appointments and sometimes when I haven't even touched it. I've seen tons of posts on HTC Home versions that affect it but I found (then lost) a thread that said something about about a Registry Edit you could to to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated or any other thoughts that may help fix this. I keep missing calls and it's driving me crazy!! Thanks so much!
i haven't searched yet, but mine will switch to any level, i keep it on vibrate while at work(Kohl's) and today it switched to loud while in my pocket and i didn't realize it till my VC started to read an extremely long text in front of my boss. fortunately he thought it was the coolest thing ever but he said it will never happen again or i'm fired(ass hole) but yeah i will post what i find when i search later

Are you using a stock ROM?
Unless people have had the exact same problem, it's going to be hard to help you without more info on what software is on your device.
If it does happen to be a random occurrence, a hard reset usually fixes it.
i have a similar problem with my tilt
i have noticed this hapening on my tilt which is running duttys latest rom. its only been happening in the last fed weeks.
ive also noticed that sometimes the phone will ring for a couple of seconds then go into vibrate mode as well.
i found my problem to be the settings in spb phone suite. if you have any profiles set etc if you change the system settings spb phone suite will automatically change them back after like 10-20 minutes. hope this is a help to some people. but i was about to go crazy till i sat and stared long and hard at my phone and realized what could also be the problem. i no longer have the issue!
i think this happens when your profile is set to automatic... it takes your status from your calender (if you have set it to busy in some meeting) it will switch to vibrate and if there is nothing for you in the calender it switches to the normal mode.....
I had the problem, then I flashed to L26 v6 and no more problems.

*Dumb question, but how and where do you SET your PROFILE? There's tons of options on the phone, but I don't know of anywhere to change something that says profile from automatic to something else? Any info. on that would be great and I'll try your solution. I'd rather not do a hard reset if I can help it. Thanks!

Hi all, I am using the standard alarm program (AT&T Tilt) and recently it has been doing strange things. When I disable all 3 alarms, the 6:00am alarm still goes off every morning. In fact, non of the alarms are even set to 6:00am anymore and the alarm still goes off for 6:00am. Very strange, just started happening about a week ago. Its been probably 3-4 months since I last hard reset the phone. Anyone have this issue before?
You better not post thread after thread, just use search before, and post problems in ONE thread!
Do a hard reset dude...
use clear temp to clear corrupted files http://freewareppc.com/download/utilities/cleartemp.shtml
cold boot (power off device and restart)
power off by pressing the power button for +5 seconds
do not perform stylus reset (its still warm boot)

I had the same issue. Here are the links I used to solve the issue..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=274810
http://frommypocket.pocketprimer.com/2007/02/13/notifications--alerts.aspx
Now, whenever I turn off my alarms, I also run CheckNotifications to see if any "clock.exe" notifications were accidentally left behind in the notification queue. (note: don't clear the "clocknot.exe" notifications; those are different than the "clock.exe" ones).
I have searched all over for this, but cannot seem to find anyone else having this particular problem, so I am curious. Sorry if this does not apply to you.
Here we go:
First of all, has anyone else noticed that their incoming text message notification sound gets changed occasionally to the default WM one (not the SE one) without you doing anything to change it?
Second of all, if you answered yes to the above have you noticed any correlation between the sound changing and a wired headset getting plugged in?
I am curious because I have been having this problem and I think I might have found the trigger. This has happened on every ROM (R1,R2,R3,Itje's,valkery's) I have ever flashed, so I do not think that it is a ROM specific bug. I dont know how many people use the wired headset that came with the X1, but surely if this isnt a ROM specific bug I am not the only one having trouble with it.
Is anyone else having this problem?
The same thing was happening to me, I wasn't sure why it was doing that either. I guess it wasn't that big of a deal so I decided to keep the original default one. Kind of sucks that it does that. If anyone has a solution to the problem let me know!
the only time i notice this is when i remove my memory card. As i store my ringtones on there if i remove it and a text or call comes through the X1 will default to the standard one.
Once i have reinstalled the card i can select my tone again.
does this help?
glad to hear I am not the only one.
I can understand why it would do that with the memory card removed and the sound file no longer preent, but maybe that bit of information can help us find out the real issue.
I will do some digging, as I am pretty proficient with these things. Thanks for the input guys.
I noticed it used to do that on my old X1i... it wasn't that it would randomly change the sound, it was that suddenly the sound I was using would disappear! I had to re-copy the sounds back on to my phone every other week, and I had no idea why it kept disappearing
I noticed this problem on my X1 as well.
Not sure what triggered the change to default tone.

do you use a wired headset?
I've noticed the tone changing to the default "beep" when i receive a message whilst i am on a call. Then i have to manually change it back to the one i had before.
I have the same sometimes, and also my auto brightness and optical joystick settings are changed occasionally. dunno why, but it doesn't happen very often.
I had this happen the other week. I wasn't touching the phone other than having an sms conversation over the course of a few hours with the phone going into standby between sms's. All was going well with my normal sms tone and then suddenly it changed. I hadn't touched any other settings or added or removed anything. I don't know if it is related but a couple of days later, the sound went to half volume through my speaker until I rebooted.
I don't think taking out the memory card is the issue. I've had the tone saved in the phone memory so I don't think it would be affected if I eject the memory card. I'll have to test out the wireless/wired headset to see if that does anything once I get my phone back from repair. It was supposed to come in yesterday but didn't, hopefully today.
Never happened to me.
May happen due to changing the placement of the desired sms tone in the device's memory (changing the folder).
mine has just started doing this in the past week, weird....
This happens to me every time I start SKTools, it's weird.
Hi guys
it happens to me as well...
Hi
I get this too. My sound file is saved under windows folder on the device. Can not pinoint it to an act or happening on the phone which triggers it.
This has happened to me as well. I have noticed, everytime I turn the volume off, the ringtone changes.
I had the same problem..But..
I installed a trial version of panoramic phone genius and SPB MS3.01 and later replaced phone genius with SPB PHone Suite and S2U2.
Now this no longer happens. The sound would change especially after I reset the phone (turned off and then on). Now this no longer occurs. Hope this helps.
