How can I set reapeating of alarm ring??? After every 5 minutes for example???
Yeah i was also wondering, HTC never got alarms quite right..
If your phone is turned off, does the alarm ring? (proper off, not screen off, but hold power, and shut down)?

Which is really retarded. My old ****ty sony ericsson phone that is 6 years old can boot up and activate alarm, when turned off properly.
Why cant HTC figure something out?
To the guy that says he doesnt care for alarm: when one day you will have exams, are tired, u cant think straight, u put ur alarm, turn off ur phone properly, and.. no alarm. and no exams.
Then u will start caring

because your 6 year old phone isn't really off, it is suspended so it can power up and sound alarms. when the hd2 is off it is really off so can't.
the old phones had to do this way because their memory isvolatile,,if youleave your old phone alone for a week, even "off", the battery dies and a hard reset automatically happen
re the alarm not continually ringing, firstly reenable the windows notifications,(can use bsbtweaks, ork at the keys edit the reg key directly) which will give you back the multiple snooze time options.
you can also have a look in
hklm/system/shell/notification/oem/reminder.
i haven't done any proper testing of these keys, and i'm not sure if tidy affect the alarms or just reminders,, i'll get around to it one day.
my alarm is all to hell, doesn't go off, goes off at wrong time etc...
found a fix though....... in the shape of a £3.99 clock radio.
It even has a working fm radio which is more than I can say for my HD2....
so basically you have two options......
buy an alarm clock or just get up when the alarm goes off.....
imo the snooze function is only encouraging laziness in an already slothenly portion of society...
but maybe that's a subject for another forum.....

slothful or slovenly, take your pick (Made up words becoming mainstream, pfffft, wouldn't have happened in my day, bring back the birch, hangings too good for em, and other such nonsense) hehe.
Anyway, been testing my alarms (to the disgust of my missus) and with the windows dismiss x notification tweak (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Shell\Notification\OEM rename NotificationLayout.dll to anything that doesnt exists ((bsb tweaks calls it NotificationLayout2.dll))) and my alarms set using windows clocks and alarms, not sense, repeats every 45 seconds until i interact with the phone in ANY way, then it stops but the alarm popup stays on screen till i dismiss or snooze. I have been snoozing it for 5 mins each time, and letting it ring ten times each time it went off, and i was told to stop after i had snoozed it 10 times, so in ten snoozes, the sound played a hundred times.
So, the only thing i can think of that would be causing it to auto stop ringing would be HTC's NotificationLayout.dll, and that reg edit above disables that, hence mine working? sounds reasonable to me.

Damn.....
I questioned it myself but that was the choice I made so im gonna stand by it
Epic Fail (as the kids would say).....
lmao, "fail"... that right there is the very epitome of everything that i hate about how netspeak is migrating to real life.,
Perhaps we can all get a free alarm clock out of HTC if we cry and shout and start multiple threads where we POST EVERYTHING IN LARGE FONT WITH CAPS about how disgusted we are at HTC/microsoft/god/the pope about the dodgy alarms function.

@the op,
I just checked omarket and theres a free alarm app called klaxon which might help you with your snoozing troubles.....
hi conan, i have been using klaxon ...had no problems , but with the latest 3.14 rom and cookies2.0, it is giving me errors, not working properly. it has not been updated in a real long time...unfortunately....

Hello,
Anyone have an idea of how to simply turn off LED button back lights?
It seems it could be done as there is already at least one app that uses them for notification.
Here is what I am trying to do:
I've downloaded a desktop alarm clock app that turns the screen back light WAY down so it is not disruptive in a completely dark room while sleeping. But, the buttons remain illuminated.
Basically 8 want to use tasker to launch those clock and turn off the button back lights if the phone is charging and the time is after a certain hour.
I am thinking I could fire off a script with tasked to do thwarting back lights portion of this as well, but I don't even know where to begin.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm rooted, and use an app called AdjBrightness. Works wonders, and also via menu, you can totally turn off the LED lights.
Hope that helps.
Cool, I will check it out. Ideally I would like to do it automatically, without having to open another app, but this tells me it ostensibly at least doable.
Thanks!

If you want the code, just do this from adb or from your phone's terminal.
echo "0" > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
Thanks! I think that is getting pretty close to what I need. Any idea if/how this could be written or saved as a SL4A script that could be fired off with tasker?
Also, I'd need to configure an exit task as well for morning, so I will need to know how to set all the buttons back to normal.
I know this is kinda minor, but I am excited about it nonetheless. Looking forward to having a nice, super dim clock to check the time late at night.
Thanks again!

You could always leave your computer on overnight and make a macro that executes the adb command to dim the leds and then executes another that makes them bright again at a certain time.
There must be something similar you can do on the phone though.
Thanks for the thoughts Meltus.
Well, I did it! I actually created a solution that is, at least to me, the first thing I have done that might actually be worth it to others and might be worth sharing.
I'll post this in more detail in the Apps/Themes forum as I am not sure it belongs here, but the short version is that you can use a plug-in called "Locale Execute" that allows you run SU commands in Tasker.
So, I created a profile in Tasker so that when the phone is plugged in to AC power between certain hours (I may add some other contexts to tweak it, like maybe say it has to be in landscape orientation), it launches my desk clock app, turns the screen down to the very lowest setting (not the "low" setting allowed at the user level), and turns the button lights off using the command you gave me.
Then, when the AC power is pulled, It automatically goes to my default home screen, returns the screen brightness to normal, and turns the button back-lights back on.
It really is pretty cool!

No i'm afraid it doesn't. Also, send me a pm next time rather than ask in someone else's thread
I did turne off button's back-light by adjusting the context of "/sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness" file from 255 to 0, it works great, but it gets back to normal after phone restart, I even went to properties of the file and removed all the "write" rights, but it won't give in.
Hi guys,
The dell streak doesnt have an LED to use for notifications or charging status.
fear not! This app has you covered!
http://www.appbrain.com/app/noled/com.led.notify
when your screen is off, you can have a icon displayed onscreen (while the rest of the screen isnt lit up) for txts, missed calls, gmail, email, calander, gtalk, charging status etc
all customised, any colour!
Enjoy!
(works on my DJSteves 1.7)
Tried it but notificatons not working. I use ICE as my lockscreen. I wonder if that is interfering? The test worked. I also use nolock to block stock lockscreen.
I wish it would work as it is a great idea!
i have no lock screen mods and it works great, only little thing is that i have to have the widget on the home screen =S know if i can remove it after ive turned noled on?
ICE lockscreen was messing NoLED up. When I turned off ICE, NoLED worked.
You can remove homescreen widget, but you have no easy way to disable NoLED if it malfunctions.
Does not work with a replacement lock screen.
Only shows notices for messages, emails, etc, that arrive when the screen is off, so if you ignore a text or email when doing something else no reminder when you lock the screen.
Other than those two limitations it works fine.
NoLED FAQ and dev home page - these are good reading and summarize a lot of what you'll find in the development thread.
I do not think it's a good idea on our device. LED displays like the sgs's use much less juice than our LCD ones, plus I don't really know how it works on LEDs but in LCD there is always a lamp that is turned on despite it being almost all black. it could like suffer from excessive usage. plus, the three softbutton LEDs stay lit all the time with this app.
i'm absolutely not saying the app is bad, just i think it was not designed for our phone.
streakled is better (although it only displays sms)
Totally agree, great idea and with the display time set to something short I guess its usable, but the streak backlight is power hungry, the phone wouldn't last half a day with it always on.
Guys,
Why don't you use StreakLed 2.0.3? It's gree on the Market. Give it a try
Cheers,

Unfortunately it only works with DJSteve's ROMs - it's not an option for those of use who choose the stock ROM.

Are you rooted ?
I'm new to Android, please be gentle. I have searched numerous sources for an answer to this. From what I can determine this is a change in Android that only provides for one screen timeout. IE, every time the screen turns off and I reactivate, I have to enter the security code.
Previously was using an N900, where I could turn off the screen on a 1-2 minute timer, but not have the security lock kick in for 1 hour of idle time.
Is there any way to implement the same behaviour with the SGS2?
I second this question. I find this extremely annoying and would like to know an answer to this too!
A bit of relief I just found is to use widgetoid and the lock screen disable function. It temporarily turns off the the security lock. Haven't figured out the details yet but it seems to re-enable it after a timeout as well.
Not perfect but a definite improvement!

Widgetoid does not work if you have a security policy (device administrators) in effect. :'(
Anyone know any app that allows you to set the security timeout differently than the screen timeout?
i came from n900 too, also miss the separate screen/lock timings.

believe it or not JUICEDEFENDER ultimate has this feature.
it goes a small step further in that you can have another (longer) time set for lock screen when the phone detects certain WIFIs. eg your home network.
the free and cheaper versions may also have this function, im not sure.

Did this work for anybody..? with device aministrators /corporate email locks..
Would also like to know!
And a follow up question, SG2 should have some form of hardware encryption - how does this work?

The Juice defender doesnt work if there is a remote device administrator enabled.
Please help us out here.. guys..
StayAwake app in market can help u .
Did this work even for Exchange admin?
I am using ICS alpha 1, but I had this issue with the normal ICS leak as well. If I choose face unlock for security, and set the timeout to anything other than immediate, I have no lock screen at all until that timeout is reached. No swype or anything... anyone know why that is?
I think that's the entire purpose of the time out. It could get annoying holding the phone at the right angle in a decently lit area over and over if you're using your phone a lot but still allowing the screen to turn off. And that's at your best bet, at worst its too dark or bright and you have to really work to unlock it repeatedly.

Right, but now if the phone wakes before the lock screen timeout, it wakes to the home screen... which can be bad for pocket dials, etc...

Not locking immediately is the entire point of setting that timeout. It doesn't lock. If you want it to lock when the screen goes off, you have to set it to immediately.
I think understand what you're asking, though. If use facelock and set it to lock after 5 minutes, anytime you unlock it up to 4 minutes and 59 seconds, you want to have to swipe or use some other method to unlock. Pretty sure that's not an option, unless there's an alternative app out there that does it or a dev mods it to do that.

On other devices I have with ICS, its the default lockscreen until the faceunlock timeout is reached. The other device I have is HTC, so maybe sense has something to do with it. I was able to get the behavior I want just by using widgetlocker, but I dont like that solution... I like to stay as vanilla as possible.
