Reminders go crazy - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General

Hello,
I have just bought the new ATOM Exec and I have to say that this is a great machine... however, I am having troubles with the reminders / alarms.
Every morning at 08:30 I got a reminder box poping saying "alarm: no description". I have checked my time settings and no alarm is activates (even if the O2 media Plus)..... Does anyone know how I could get rid of it ?
Thanks,
Greg

You have somethign "stuck" in your notification queue.
Load some software to look at the notification queue.. MemMaid is good.
You'll be able to see the notification queue and be able to work out which ones are the "stuck" alarms.
Don't just delete notifications because you don't know what they are though...
Also search other forums, there are a lot of posts about this (especially for the wizard)

Hi and thanks for your reply. I have installed memmaid and could see these alarms in the notification queue.... there were 4 or windows/clock.exe at 8:30am..... however, even if I can delete these entries, they keep on returning every time I do a soft reset..... any ideas on how to get rid of that ?
Thanks.

They keep returning .. wierd...
Firstly go in to Alarms and disable all the ones you have in there.
Then go into memmaid and check for duplicates first .. delete these duplicates .. then delete ALL alarms again.
Soft reset... hopefully they won't be there.
If they are then I have no idea ... sorry.

Alarm keeps on going off after soft reset! Help please!

Hi,
My prophet's (M600) alarm keeps on going off when I reset the device. There is no notification and no ways to stop it. I have to mute the device for an hour or so, then it "forgets" about it. Any idea why this happened and any ways to stop it apart from hard resetting?
Thanks in advance
Hi,which alarm ? Alarm clock ?
Yes, I think it is the alrm clock. As I said there is no notification saying what alarm it is, but it is the same sound as I used for Alarm clock to wake up in the morning.
Thanks
Maybe a scheduled task registered every day no ?
No. Infact there is no alarm set now. I dont even use it to wake up in the morning. I have turned off the alarm. Still it starts after a soft reset.
Thanks for reply
Do you use a plug today in your today screen ? Next message in pm.
The problem will be a notification in the notify queue that should not be there. For a calendar reminder it will be a calendar.exe notification. Use the attached program to check the notification queue - find the one and delete. For the alarm notification - turn off alarm and check the queue and delete any clock.exe notifications which is the one for alarms. Also goto options/settings and tick both boxes and check for duplicate notifications which will be marked in red - delete those. Do not delete the other notifications they are needed for the normal running of the device.
Activesync your device and run exe from pc.
Thanks for the reply. I tried this using memaid. But no cure. So, I had to hard reset my device. Thanks anyway :roll:

hey, I was having the same problem - and it worked! MemMaid will open the notificaiton queue; from there, I had to look for any "CLOCK.EXE" type notification - I found several that were set for daily alarms, even though they never rang (and I don't remember setting them.) Deleting them did the trick!
THANKS!
help please
So it gets rid of the notifications.
but if i want to use the windows alarm, why does it not show up on the screen when the alarm is going off? I want to be able to snooze.
should i just use a 3rd party alarm?
Worked for me
Yep that program worked for me to. only problem was i had so many clock.exe in the list and you can only select one at a time and it takes its time. but still quicker that reseting my phone up after a hard reset.
cheers
I had the same problems as others listed on here and so I am trying this fix. During the fix I noticed a lot of "null" applications.
What do all the "null" lines mean?
Example: Application - Null
Notify type - CNT_TIME
Event Status - Active
Event Type - NONE
Arguments - (none)
Thanks
MemMaid worked for me too
Hello,
I had the same problem, every notifications didn't display.
I installed DinarSoft MemMaid v2.3, in the QuickClean tab I checked the 4 Notifications-related lines and I performed the cleaning process.
Then a soft reset with the stylus & the small button next to the usb connector.
And then : no more orange led flashes, no more unwanted alarm sounds. And I can use the alarm or calendar notifications again. It works.
Thank you for your posts.

Notification Queue is empty

Hope someone can help.
Using Memaid under the Notifications Queue noticed I have nothing in there.
I have just upgraded to WM6 from WM5 which also had the same problem.
I have searched the threads but no one has any solutions particularly as I don't have any notifications visible (I do have reminders and other stuff in my calender)
Strangely enough the reminders are coming up. I have also experienced whilst on WM5 the problem of not being able to stop the alarms even after a reset.
Any help would be appreciated.
did you try sktools?
Just tried sktools trial version and it shows up the notifications!
Not sure why Memmaid isn't?
Maybe too old a version?
I'm using Memmaid on my Trinity and plenty of notifications show up in the queue. I am using WM6 too.

!?! lost appointment notification !?!

Hello everyone.
When trying to fix my crazy alarm stuck in a loop, I deleted one too many entry from the notification queue. The alarm is gone, but so are appointment notifications. I can see appointments becoming active but no sound or vibration is being triggered.
Can anyone enlighten me what have I deleted and how to restore it?
Cheers!
BTW Happy New Year everyone!
A few more details
If I set any new alarm it will ring/vibrate but no notification is displayed (cannot dismiss). And even if I remove it/them from the notification queue, they will go on and on.
I really don't want to hard reset, and I even don't know if it would help...Help?
I'm not sure, but have you tried running MemMaid or pmClean to rebuild your notifications?
Thanks for head up. Yes, I tried virtually everything. Not enough knowledge. I ended up with upgrading to WM6. All works fine now. That issue will remain a mistery forever

Mogul alerts can't be stopped

I'm having a problem with my Sprint Mogul.
I get an alert every 10 minutes or so, but I have already dismissed all notifications and alarms.
Even went into settings and disabled sound and vibrate notifications for everything and it's still happening all day long.
I'm using DCD's 3.0.4 Radio:3.37.20
Please help, anyone.
Strange problem. I sometimes get duplicates of alerts because I run an xml that writes alerts, but I never had a problem like your's. What I do is use dot fred's task manager to review the notifications and delete the items I do not want. You can also just delete all the duplicates in that program, but I doubt that would fix your problem.
Worst case scenario, a hard reset should fix it too.

Task notifications disappearing

Hi all,
I use to have a bunch of Outlook tasks with notifications to remind me of various things to do.
With my previous phone (HTC P3300), the notifications stayed there (until dismissed) whatever I did: reset the phone, move from an application to another, whatever. In the Today screen I always had the left soft key displaying "Reminder" indicating that I had some notifications active.
In my new HD2 this is not hte case any more. I am glad I am not wasting my left soft key just for the reminders, but the problem is that my notifications keep disappearing: if I reset the phone, they are gone. I got the habit of snoozing them before resetting, but this morning my 4 notifications were gone, even with no reset!
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a workaround? Anyone knows what is purging the notifications?
Ciao,
Giovanni
I want to know this as well.
Also is there a app or a way to change the snooze time? For example, to remind me again in 1 hour, but more important notifications, in 10 min...
Hey, i had (have) the same problem. First of all please report this to HTC cos this is a BIG error. What i did is unable htc notification manager, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=631449. That worked for me, also brings back the snooze option. Only problem now that the active reminders dont synx with my exchange or home outlook, but thats something i can live with. Good luck !!
i use the following three reg settings to tweak my notifications.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Shell\Notification\OEM\Reminder
change EnableAutoDismiss from 1 to 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Shell\Notification\OEM
CustomUIDLL is probably set to NotificationLayout.dll
change it to anything else, (example NotificationLayout2.dll) basically a name that doesnt exist.
UseDefaultUI set to 0
Also, go to settings - menu - all settings - sounds and notifications - notifcations tab - in the dropdown choose 'reminders' and make sure 'show on screen' is checked.
hope these help.
