After setting some options in the second place of the alarm options and choosing done the alarm app exited.
from then on when i try to open the app a black window rises and then closes.
So i cannot change the options again.
Last time this happened I had to do a reset to factory defaults.
Does anyone know where in the filesystem are the settings for the alarm stored?
maybe i could change them with some text editor and resolve this without a factory reset.

the phone will not stop alarming and it does not give me the option to turn off the alarm or even see the notification. I have tried a soft reset and also turning off all alarms, along with the notifications and sounds settings. If I turn all the sound settings down to zero the phone does not audibly alarm but it still vibrates, even though the vibrate feature is turned off. All started when I dropped my phone.
I cannot figure out how to fix this, and its driving me insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a notification problem - use check notification to delete duplicate notifications (only delete these not all of them) Click options/settiings and tick both boxes. There may be a null notification that is often a problem that you will need to click on and delete.
Run exe on pc desktop after activesync your device.
how do you get there
I cannot find the area that you are talking about. can you give a more detailed way of getting to that area with the names of the windows that I need to click on? Thanks,
Dave

I assume the program is installed on your device. Click on check notifications icon in startmenu\programs. Click on options then settings and tick remove duplicate events box and remove script 0x000 box then ok. Then click clear and it should clear all duplicate notifications for you.
I actually had the exact same problem on my 9100. After a couple of days I simply went ahead and made a hard reset....and havent had the problem since

I had this problem a couple of times as well. Clearing duplicate notifications (using CheckNotifications or MemMaid) and the offending notification does NOT solve the problem. It will stop the errant alarm, but the next time one of your regularly scheduled alarms goes off, you will have the exact same problem. It's as if there's some error in the program which is responsible for creating the little box with the alarm message in it and switching the left soft key ot a dismiss button.
So unless you plan on never again using your alarm clock or setting reminders for anything, jacking with the notifications will not solve the problem.
The only way I have been able to fix the problem is with a hard reset. I'm sure there has to be some other way, but I sure haven't found it yet.
Is there a cure for this or no? I just downloaded check notification and ill give it a shot, but so far it shows no duplicate alarms on my system which i find hard to believe...
Did you tick both boxes in the options and delete a notification called null - have to click and hold to delete it. The alarm notifications are under clock.exe - delete all manually if not showing up duplicates. (click and hold)
Don't use WM 5 alarms at all
I use ActiveKitten's Chronos Alarms - no worries at all!
I also had this problem and a hard reset was the only thing I could do. Afterwards I restored my backup and never had the problem before.
I've tried the alarm function (Settings/System/Clock/Alarm), but it wasn’t reliable. So I switched it off again.
Now I here the alarm everytime I reboot my MDA Pro.
What’s wrong?
Try checking your "Notification Queue" for a calendar/alarm entry which hasn't been cleared. You can use software such as Memmaid or SKTools to view this. I personally prefer the first one.
Click on the first notification and see when this was due - if this falls in the past you should be able to just delete this.

Tnx! - Worked...

wow that sound like the problam i had a while back. i would get tons of random alarms right after a reboot. but it went away after i removed BBConnect., but come to think of it i stopped using the alarm clock at the same time too. i wonder which one it was.
I have captivate that runs on Firefly froyo ROM. I have an alarm set in my phone that is supposed to sound every morning. But when I reboot my phone everytime for replacing the spare battery, the alarm is not re activated. In simple works, alarm scheduled to sound everyday does not reactivate itself after reboot. Have to open the alarm, disable it and again enable to reactivate it.
Any solution for this. Also any app that solves the problem? Same thing happens with calendar reminder events. After reboot, the calendar reminder events do not work. HAve to go to the calendar app for it to activate. Any alternate apps for the problem?
I was setting the alarm on my herm using the Clock & alarms application that came with windows mobile. i set the alarm time (810am) and checked off the box to enable then i clicked OK and my phone froze i restarted it and i saw that it didnt save my alarm... so i set another alarm... well now I get that (810am ) alarm without setting it and i cant stop it because it doesnt show that anything is set... can anyone help? maybe there is registry i have to edit or delete something.
thanks
Try to run this program and see if it helps (backup first)
My alarm is messed up too!
Sometimes it goes off like 5-7 times, at a time and leaves me with 7 notifications.
Sounds pretty strange too having it try to play the alarm 7 times at the same time.
Will have to see if that program can do anything for that too!
EDIT:
Wow, it found 335 duplicate notifications. Hope fixing them solves the problem!
I'll be happy to hear if it helped you
Nearly broke my phone last night , the dam snooze went off about a million times ,
why the hell is there no option to disable it?. How do i disable , i have the stock alarm on my phone . not looking to get another alarm app as of yet .
Can somebody please help me ?
goto clock app then slide to the alarm area, then uncheck the alarms
--press menu and settings if you want more advanced options
thanks for the quick reply CodeNameUnknown1 , i have already checked the advanced option there is no way of disabling snooze 5minutes is the shortest time possible
Not sure what you mean?
When my alarm goes off (stock 1.72.405.3) its pull down on the touchscreen to permanately turn the alarm off for the day without activating any snooze time?
AFAIK there's no way to completely remove/disable the snooze functionality from the HTC alarm. You might have to choose between getting a different alarm app, or just making sure you turn the alarm off instead of snoozing in the morning
I have an alarm everyday, .... , i just slide it down, and its gone. i dont know where your problem is. Maybe trying to reinstall the clock.app from your ROM might help
My phone randomly rebooted tonight and I've never seen an Android phone do this to this extent.
I was typing a text message within Textra, using SwiftKey and the device rebooted on its own.
Upon reboot, it was almost like the apps were loaded with default settings? Here are a few examples-
- SwiftKey and Chrome's settings were reset
- Most of the "Settings" were reset
-- Vibrate
-- Screen timeout; various "Display" values were reset
- Status bar battery icon was back (used to be number)
Its almost like the phone reset to "safe" or "default" settings?
I think it might have to do with Substratum but I would think I'd be the first to report it... Anyone have an idea of what this behavior means?

I wouldn't call it stock:
- OOS 4.5.14/Rooted
- Boeffla Kernal
- Substratum
I get that its probably easiest to blame Boeffla or Substratum themes *but* I've been running this setup without any reboots prior and I've been on 4.5.14 for over a week now and this is the first its happened.
It would be nice to diagnose the behavior after what happened, ie- the device reboot and factory defaulted system "Settings". It's like it rebooted into a safe state or a safe configuration.
What causes the lock wall paper to reset, status bar and display settings within "Settings"?
I think SwiftKey crashed personally but crashed so hard that it would default some system settings?
