Alarms don't work????

allklrnoflr · 02-07-04, 10:08 AM

One of the frequent problems that I have read about on PPC's is that when you set alarms they do not go off. I have been testing this on my 4350 and it works ok so far. I'm reluctant to use the alarms on the PPC only since I don't want to miss one. Can anyone with the alarm problems advise how/when these fail?

With older PPCs, they have been proven to be problems. They simply would not go off, or they would constantly go off even after you clicked the snooze button. I guess they fixed the problem with the 4300 series.

The alarm problems in WM2003 have differed for some people. For some, alarms would not work at all. For some, it is inconsistent. For some, they have no problems. In my case when I first purchased my 2215 my alarms were inconsistent. For me I only installed the Scarybear notify DB fix and the Spritewakeupservice fix for iPAQ Backup. My problems went away.

Another case of the "Journal Bar / Battery Pack Syndrome: Different people have different experiences."

I have had intermittent problems. Very annoying because I use my PPC as my alarm clock and have been late to work a couple of mornings because of it. I installed Wakeup Tweak (www.burroak.on.ca) and have not had any problems since

. Now the only reason I am late to work is I don't want to get up at 3A

That's what Im worried about! Guess I will use this along with my POS until I feel like it will not fail.....

Maybe just set two alarms to make sure at least one will work. I know, it kind of defeats the purpose, but if the iPAQ one starts working for like a week in a row then you know that it will always work, and will have a backup just in case.
