I need a new alarm clock for my Xperia. The basic alarm on the phone does not wake me up so I have been using G-Alarm since I bought the phone. G-Alarm is awesome but before it used to be free. This is not the case anymore. If I am going to have to pay I might as well explore my options. What is the absolute very best alarm clock for the Xperia? I hear the PocketClockPro or whatever is pretty good but what does everyone else think?
Thank you
Use an older version of G-Alarm? They're still free if you can find the CAB files. Luckily I still have one on my phones SD so I rolled back to that instead of the latest version.
I would suggest PTravel Alarm, along with its wake-up tweak. Functionally, it is approaching perfection, including ease of use.
The only slight downside it that there is a thin band across the main alarm screen due to the WVGA effect, but it doesn't affect visibility or functionality.
I'm using the stock alarm clock and it's awesome .

The stock alarm clock sucks...what the heck...you are limited to only 3 alarms...and it is fugly.
I say purchase Alarm Master...the BEST ALARM CLOCK I EVER HAD. I would never ever ever ever ever pay for G-Alarm.
Silly rabbit G-Alarm is for kids.

It wakes you up in the morning without fail, alarm is loud enough, and snooze has enough options. What else do you need? Does it have to double up as a machine gun also?

a machine gun feature would be nice. What better way to ward off burglars than by wielding your alarm clock? As long as it doesn't overheat the battery I'm good
I use G-Alarm... I wasn't aware there was a buyable version- if that makes sense LOL. I love it. I hated Alarm Monster. DELETE. G-Alarm has MANYYYYYY options, you can have so many different tones to wake your booty butt up going on right after each other. And I love how it tells you how many hours that you don't have left to sleep haha.
Stock alarm sucks. I get SO paranoid I wont hear it after one time, altho I'm always up before my alarm anyways, and theres only 3, I need @ least 3 everyday... what if i need more???
Just my 2 cents.
I use G-Alarm. Paid for it when it became commercial. It's not let me down yet. The 3 standard WM alarms isn't enough for me. I use at least three for week 1 and three for week 2. Then some random ones in between.
I find it easy to use now I've been using it for a while, export my alarms and just import them again when doing a hard restart. Too easy.
But I'm a bunny, just a 45 year old kid according to some I guess.

This version of Galarm works best, and it's for free
I would highly suggest G-Alarm. I have never seen such a great alarm applicationbefore. Worth every penny because you will definitely wake up to and believe me, me waking up is not easy.
Battery use
And what about the battery use with G-Alarm? does it spend much energy?
I haven't noticed any negative affects on the battery by using g-alarm. I just ended up downloaded the latest version of g-alarm that didn't require money. I am all good but often times my alarms F up. it is kind of annoying. like instead of sound the alarm the phone will vibrate. it wakes me up but its an error message so i can't snooze it, and i like snoozing my alarms so i can sleep longer
Just started using the G-alarm cab posted here and am really liking it, very reliable so far and customizable.
I did try the more recent demo version of G-Alarm but found it to be overly complicated compared to the one posted here.
Will stick to the free one me thinks

It has a lot of variations and does have a stock monitor and automatic web-update option (among other things). There are weather-only versions, stock-only versions etc, if I remember rightly. I hear folks are using it for wm5 but I'm not sure. Someone with your know-how can modify it to suit your purpose and its free.

By far the best I've tried is Magnifoca STQ (Stock Ticker and Quotes). I've been through just about every stock program available for the PPC. Some have very nice features, and in some cases MORE features than STQ. But for my money STQ delivers the best Today screen integration... with a scrolling stock ticker for cryin' out loud! It will set you back a tidy little sum at just under $30 US from Mobihand. Worth every penny if you're serious about tracking market and stock activity at a glance.

Yes, I believe it does although I don't use that feature. I've included a couple of screen shots from the "add new stocks" screen, including results from searches for the market index of the Stockholm Stock Exchange (OMXS30) and a stock from the Frankfurt exchange called LB BERLIN HOLDING (BEB3.F).

Hi. Ive been searching for an app that can/will vibrate when your writing a msg. Does anyone know about that? Ive been searching and searching and didnt find anything about it. I miss it from my lg ku990. It would be really cool, if my diamond could do the same. I hope someone will help me
here ya go.. put it in the startup folder if you want to to run always
this seems to be a recurring topic, think its a feature alot of people would like, but many of the apps that are currently available have too strong vibration.
Something like the vall hiting the wall in teeter would be more appropriate feedback for a key press
yes, I would also love a tiny feedback like in teeter.... this one is also too strong for me.. I had to stop using it after an hour because it drained too much battery... and its also to loud

I guess a lot of people would love to see that. It would help to type SMS blindly. I hope some dev goes for it
It could also be really cool, if we could adjust the vibrations in 3 or 5 levels.
So everybody can adjust it to what they like.
I second this!

Second that notion - would add a new level of depth to the phone if we had an app to customize vibrating feedback for certain operations - and if they felt like the ones in teeter then WOW!
So isn't there anyone here who can do this?
I will donate if someone makes an adjustable vibra app! I want it badly!

You'll be the man of the month, nah lets say year, if you can make this to all of us I dont know how hard it is to make. The only problem i see, is how to adjust the vibrations. Its a tricky one.
the frequency or wave of vibration will be very important.
Any news? I would love this program...

I have rooted my phone and am using CyanogenMod 4.2.14.1
I was wondering if there are any interesting lock screens I could use. My criteria:
1. NOT the ones in the marketplace, have tried them out and don't really like any of them
2. FREE - this is a minor request and definitely not something I want to pay for (heck I've already paid $400 for the phone!!)
3. relatively easy to install. I managed to root my phone with SPL 1.76.007 which took a looong time and was difficult so I know my way around it. BUT, I am not willing to take any risks. I don't mind flashing something, but, that's probably the extent to which I want to take risks.
The screen itself:
1. Simple but with useful features, such as music changing ability, battery status, etc.
2. Some sort of password/lock code (not essential)
3. Background image
Thanks!

boot into recovery and flash it on top of your rom
Thanks it worked.
Are there any other options? This one isn't bad but it seems a bit useless to me. Bit odd that you have to press a button to see the battery when it's right there on top!

Nope that's pretty much it. I know hero and eclair roms have a different lockscreen but they don't work for 1.6 roms. Only other option is to flash a hero/eclair rom or get one from the market. If you want one like the iPhone then get lock 2.0. Its not half bad.
I like having the battery button on the lockscreen. The battery on top gives some indication as to howmuch battery you have left but I like knowing exactly how much life is left in my baby lol

Thanks for the response.
Not unhappy with this one per se, but, it just doesn't do it for me.
Lock 2.0 is actually pretty good but I'm in Singapore and I don't have access to the paid market (which in the long run is a good thing!) and the free version has too many restrictions. I can't even add a background.
My main thing is I want a nice clock and background and battery display. This Stericson one does all that but it just feels a bit "meh" to me. Not sure why, not blown away ...Guess I'll survive!
If anyone knows of anything (theme or lock screen) to spice things up do let me know!
email me [email protected]
Does anybody know of a theme or something to make the default lockscreen
transparent??
use lockbot on the market, its pretty good. theres a free version and its still good
Hi!
I have the Beatiful Widgets one that looks like HTC and I like it but the Location is stuck at my zip code Spanish Fork no matter where I go.
I work on a different city for 8 hours a day and it never changes, meanwhile, fancy Widgets changes very quickly.
Any ideas?

From your home screen press menu then settings/privacy and turn on "Use My Location" See if that helps..
The lowest tine interval you can use is 2 hours. So it will only check every 2 hours.

I set mine to 15 minutes......but since it wouldnt stop FC on me i uninstalled it.
its a shame because its a great looking program.
The last update finally did it for me....sweet looking again...I just wish the clock was able to really flip like it does on my HTC tilt 2

The shortest time interval is 15 minutes. It defaults to 2 hours. I changed mine to 15 minutes and it works fine if you make sure it is set to Use My Location.
Mine is not updating the location since the last update. Doesn't matter what I set it to.
Edit: It does update sometimes but it appears to be pretty random and definitely not on the set schedule.

You know why that it doesnt flip right.
Not really, why is it..a trademark or something?
Yeah they got a cease letter so they got rid if that feature but added ask those widgets to make it there own. Im still happy with it and so far have not had issues when I have signal.

I would think it would last quite a while, as far as an alarm clock you'd need external speakers attached, the built in one is pretty weak. You could always just put it to sleep when you go to work so the screen isn't on 24/7 when no one if using it.

Ok after using this for a few weeks now. Yes it does work great as a alarm clock, like clienterror side the sound it a little on the low side, however it does get me up.
The black light has not given up on me yet but I do wish I could find a easier way to turn on/off the screen when no one is around sometimes I do forget to shut it off.
I still have yet to find the perfect app (yah ok nothing is perfect) to wake up to yet but I am not about to give up so soon.
Try Lightning Bug. It's my new favorite sleep/alarm app and works well on the NC.

Check out Gentle Alarm (TRIAL). The trial is free. I believe it is the full version except it will not ring on Wednesdays. It really does work.
