I can't get my repeating alarms to work. I heard that you could do a registry tweak to get it, but that didn't work. I also tried SPB Pocket Plus (3.0.4), but the repeating alarms also don't work.

According to SPB support, there is a known problem with repeating alarms in their current version. They said that they are working on it...

I've also had Reminder/Alarm/Notifications issues (though the innate alarm system works).

Wosto sent me his own fix which I'm sharing here. This might or might not fix your issue and you should handle with all due respect to the WM5 notification queue:

[WARNING: Do not manually delete notification events unless you are certain you know what you're deleting. If you delete events indiscriminately, you could lose the ability to use ActiveSync and you will need to do a hard reset to correct the problem!]

1. Get and install Scarybear's: http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/checknotifications.zip

2. Run and "Clear" duplicates

3. Then check for resident notifications with a "NULL" value in the Dialog Title (The first instance of VCCalendarReminderShadow comes to mind).

4. Delete that value (click and hold). Reset and see if it cleared the problem. It cleared mine and I have repeating alarms/notifications now though I have not re-tried 3rd party software yet.

Well - it's a partial success. Still can't get Battery Pack Pro to take over at all :(

I need to find myself an alarm volume control software that works now <>

A little confused. So doing this allows your alarms/notifications (like from appointments) to beep repeatedly? Should I keep Pocket Plus installed, or does it not matter?

Krypticide, I have no idea about Pocket Plus impact. I couldnt get Battery Pack Plus to work. I since switched to pTravelAlarm which has not let me down once yet.

Looks interesting, but I'm looking for repeating alarms for appointments and other things, not just for the clock alarm.

Try the one of the solutions described in this blog. The registry hack here worked for me.
