hello, anyone else have issues with alarms not sounding when setup through spb time ?
the alarm is actually triggered, appears on screen - just no sound !
this has happened several days in a row with diff alarm sounds.
last night i set a normal windows mobile alarm and setup a spb time alarm for 1/2 hour later. They both fired but still no sound from the spb time alarm.
If you know the way around this, can you please post the answer.

SBP Time is not compatible with WM6. They do not list it as being compatible (as they do with some of their products) - see SPB Time Product Page. I have had this issue in the past on WM6 on the Uni and now steer clear of SPB Time except on WM5.
Same here, no sound
ah ok, thanks for pointing out the wm6 compatability issue.
thought it was just me the first couple of days..somehow sleeping through the alarm. when u press the dismis button it does play the sound for a second or two though..crazy.
anyway, at least spb_time displays the time ok as its name suggests it should

Actually, you may find it doesn't display the correct time. I found it is sometime a minute or so behind (as sometimes is the clock on the taskbar in WM6)!!!
Anyone have a suggestion for an alarm clock program with will work??
the standard wm6 alarms work fine, whilst u can use spb to display time on the today plugins
Have you tried the "Wakeup Tweak" (on the options page)?
Works fine for me here.

Interesting. I had the same problem with or without the tweak. I'm currently trying out Chronos by ActiveSync which is working well, but they don't have the nice Today plug-in like SPB time...
works fine here, no probs, wakeup tweak enabled
have never missed any alarm.
indeed, time lags a few seconds

I had a weird thought... I know I enabled wakeup tweak but it still didn't work. Now I'm thinking probably should have done a reset in between, otherwise did the tweak really install... Will try again and report back.
How is that possible. Mine also has no sound, whether the wake up tweak is enabled or disabled. Do you use wm06?
Applied tweak, reset, still no sounds.
hope the following will help. this is what i have done in my htc x7500
1. in spb time options, wake up tweak enabled.
2. spb time screensaver disabled
3. wm6 settings, sounds and notifications, check events (warnings, system events), programs notifications (alarms, reminders)
4. wm6 alarms all three disabled.
5. in wm6 power options, uncheck power off device if not used for xxx minutes, for both battery and ac power
6. in wm6 backlight options, do what you like.
then soft reset ( i do it after i make any changes)
hope it works now for you
however
i will make a video to show you it works and upload it to youtube, will be tonight though, still at work
i fact will make a video with all the settings i use. the latest version of spbtime worked
from day 1 i installed it with the dopod wm6 rom.
now i use pk2, which is based on the same rom
just give me some time, will be around midnight, local time, athens , greece
please give me feedback if with the above settings, the spb alarm workrd

With regards to step 5, won't this have a negative impact on battery life???

so far, battery lasts 3 days this way. you are certainly right that with the power off checked the battery life will increase dramatically, but for the sake of the spb alarm, this is how it works for my x7500.
have the settings i use in my x7500 solved the spb alarm problem?

I already have battery issues. I tried everything but step 5, with no success. Apparently that is the key. I have gone back to Chronos, which isn't quite as nice but at least it works without a battery drain...
wgary, just to let you know that with the official htc rom wm6 (europe) and without any tweaks (apart from the spb tweak in its options), spb functions normally.
could it be an issue of dopod rom? do not know...
or maybe the use of other programs may interact with spb time?
just a thought... have you tried the wm6 fix sound? just in case? ( look for it in pk 2 thread)
this is really weird stuff man...

sorry for not uploading the video on time, had little time and probs with pc
will do so as soon as possible
Please try updating your version of SPB Time to the latest version. I did some forum spelunking and found that they had a new version that fixed this problem. My friend and I just tried it on our Tytns and it worked for both of us... even with the phone in standby!
Good luck.
Anyone tried this app yet? It seems to be able to do... um... everything?! Ha! I am interested to see what custom profiles and tasks people have set up in theirs!

You can download a 14-day trial from the developers website:

(it is £3.99 in the market for the full version)
Wow, I would have normally glazed right over this. For some reason I read the articles and this is pretty cool. I started thinking of a bunch of uses for it. I bought it outright. Thanks for the post, moonrock!
Welcome!
I noticed in the wiki or forum (somewhere!) that they were able to set up a profile that remapped the camera button -- I am wondering if this can be used to remap the power button while the camera app is open, maybe?
So I haven't had much time to play with Tasker, but the two scripts I have currently running:
* Silence from 11pm > 8am, simple, but it replaced the other 'profiles' type apps
* Disable screen rotation when in the Kindle app, for whatever reason this isn't an option in the Kindle app itself.
I have it set to turn on my Bluetooth when plugged in and off when unplugged works great!

Fantastic! I need to set up a (again, simple!) task that will turn on bluetooth in the times that I am always in my car (commute to work and home, same time every day) which won't be difficult.
I have Locale already, but this may replace it (gotta love paying for apps to find out another one does 10000x more things! oops!) I've had Locale since first getting my G1 though, so it's gotten plenty of use.
So glad you posted about this app... its amazing..

I have a couple tasks set up. First, I have gps automatically turn on and off when entering and exiting google maps. I also have one that lets me pick input style when I go into or leave remotedroid (swype's backspace doesn't work in it). And I have a couple apps that like to hang around after I close them, so I set them to be killed upon closing.
All in all it's a great app, well worth the $6.

Also worth noting is that it is £3.49 from the developer directly (paypal, via his website) and a larger % goes direct to him that way.
I have it setup for text to speech on SMS messages when my phone connects to my cars bluetooth.
I am trying to find a way to let my replay to said SMS with the voice to text feature or just ignore it. Anyone have any idea how to accomplish that?
Also think it would be cool to have it change my wallpaper based on the weather conditions in my area, but Im not sure how to go about doing that either.

Beautiful Widgets (paid app, couple bucks) and the (free) Beautiful Live Wallpaper. Uses the weather widget to make the wallpaper match the weather
Tasks that I've set up so far:
Silent / dim screen / timeout / alarm volume 7 while I am asleep (timed task)
Vibrate / auto brightness / timeout (slightly longer) while at work (timed task)
Bluetooth on while in my car (timed task -- specificlly during the hours of my work commute)
Load Vlingo when Bluetooth connects, Kill Vlingo when BT disconnects
GPS on when Maps, Navigation and Foursquare are opened
Display timeout (1hr) and brightness (max) when USB plugged in (for when i am in my car, typically listening to music and/or have vlingo up on the screen, annoying (and worthless) for the display to timeout if vlingo is supposed to be a one-touch process!)
Anyway of exporting a profile then importing it so some of the more advanced useres can create some and we can tweak them ?
Edit: Having hard time getting them to do what i want .
Probably, but I am not entirely sure how... lol
My initial use:
As previously mentioned on this board the bluetooth streaming volume is not the loudest, so I always end up turning up the volume for bluetooth. Then when I plugin my headphones I destroy my eardrums.
So I setup a task that when I connect to my bluetooth car stereo, it automatically sets the volume to max and turns off wifi for good measure.
I have another task that when I plugin headphones, it sets the volume to 60% and opens the doubletwist music player.
Finally I setup the standard battery task so that when my battery gets to 20% it turns of all the GPS, wifi, and bluetooth radios, as well as dimming my screen.

Ah, I keep meaning to setup the low battery task as well!
I have two keyboards i really like in 2 different orientations.
Droid X keyboard:
its sweet autocorrections and large real estate makes it ideal for two thumb typing in landscape
swype:
slower than droid X keyboard in landscape, but in portrait, this is possibly the fastest/most accurate keyboard around.
I tried to set it up so that i could change my keyboards depending on the orientation, but i could not figure it out
im also for an app that turns your screen off with a timer (in the background). and have that work when you turn your screen downward./
any with either of these would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone know how to make it so that the Incall volume goes up to max on the connect of the phone call? I cant seem to find it in the settings meeting seems to only answer on 3/4 volume. Thought Tasker might be able to .
This app is awesome. I only got a few tasks setup but one nice one is turning the screen timeout to 23hr when I open the web browser and back to 30 secs when I exit.

To export a profile tap the context (left) icon <profile<export. To import just open the file with Tasker as the chosen program I think. lots of premade tasks on the Tasker wiki. (it won't let me post a link)

apparently you installed S2U2 without modifying it's settings..
go to start menu>S2U2> S2U2 settings
you can change those settings in the power menu.
also go to advanced and add Camera to the exceptional exe list. it's found in the windows directory. this is to avoid locking when you're capturing video.
I always use alarm app which come in Android. But to set an alarm, we need to enter the date and time.
I'm looking for not that kind of application. I'm looking for a range time alert application. Let's say I'm cooking right now, I want to check it again in 5 minutes, I'll set alert for 5 minutes. If I'm doing laundry right now, let's say washing machine will finish after 15 minutes, I'll set the alert for 15 minutes. I'm browsing internet right now, my TV Show will start in 10 minutes, I'll set alert time in 10 minutes...
It's fast notification I'm looking for. Just set the how many 5 minutes/hours you want to be notify. Is there an app for that purpose? Thanks.
Try AlarmDroid its simple the best for me.

Good, but not as I expected to be. Still working same as default alarm/clock.
I want alarm for a fast situation such as " let me know after 5 minutes" etc. Then key in 5 minutes.
No need to recalculate time such as default method such as "now 7:47, let me know/Alarm after 45 minute...calculate...err...what time is it?...err...7:47-8:00=13 min, 45min-13min=32min... okay, key in Alarm at 8:32 at today date, let's see...12/012/2012..." Whalaa.... I hate this situation.
Just type Alarm Clock or Alarm in PlayStore and pick the best.

I did test a lot before posting into this thread. They all working in the same fashion way, the different only the interface.
At least if there is alarm that shows time range from current time by scrolling, that would be enough. Of course by key in is better.
At my job I work at different shows with different showtimes for each stage. I set 6-7 alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a a showtime. None of these stages have the same showtimes and they don't occour at regular intervals. So my alarms are labeled orange1 orange2, blue1-blue6 etc.
I am looking for an app that will let me schedule a series of alarms that I can enable at the beginning of the day. An alarm stack or an alarm playlist if you will. If I'm working orange I enable orange, if I'm at green I enable all the green alarms
Does anyone know of an app that might be able to do this?
