Phantom Alarms

I live in California and was on the east coast last week. On the plane ride back I manually changed the time zone on my Tilt from Eastern to Pacific.

Since then I've gotten an alarm every day at 10am, even though the only alarm I have set is one for 8:30am. Also, the 8:30am alarm now has a duplicate--it still just rings at 8:30, but it tells me there's two alarms and I have to dismiss both.

I've turned off all alarms and soft reset the device (and then put back my 8:30am alarm) to no avail. There's nothing in my calendar at 10am every day that could be setting it off, and that wouldn't be an alarm anyway, it would be an event notification.

Any ideas? Running the stock ATT ROM, hadn't done anything to the Tilt but change the time zone over the past week before this began.

EDIT: Did some google searching for phantom alarms and some people say that SKTools is the way to go. Anyone have any experience?

SKTOOLS is a great application that gives you lots of different tools that you'll find useful in the ongoing maintenance of your pocket pc.

You can use SKTOOLs notification queue option to look for the errant alarm. If you see it (and you should recognize it, if it's there), you can delete it.

Take care when deleting things from the notification queue and don't delete anything just because you don't know what it is - there are system notifications that, if deleted, will mess things up and you'd have to perform a factory reset to get the pocket pc working normally again.
