Guest nossac Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 I like the sound of the alarm and the countdown...though don't have much use for a stopwatch. Seeing as I am hard to wake up sometimes I used to set my alarm and the countdown timer (5 minutes apart) on my old Nokia 7250. At the moment I set an extra appointment everyday in my calander to help my get out of bed.
Guest mimsan69 Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 Great idea. That's one of the things I miss the most since I gave up my Nokia. One idea from the Nokia is to get the Smartphone to be able to ring the alarm though the phone is shut down since it's not especially memoryconsuming. Probably impossible, but you're the coder, not me :P Would be great for example if you're on a location without a charger/output and the battery is running low but you still need to get up in the morning. Best regards, Kim of Sweden
Guest Brody Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 Not possible on the Smartphone i'm afraid. Try switching your phone to Flight mode, that''ll save the battery life...
Guest drblow Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 Small point. Since this is going to be an SP2003 app, could you make the snooze button for the e200 one of the actual softkeys? So I don't have to select menu>snooze. Thats my biggest problem in the morning ... hitting dismiss all, then waking up an hour later & having to leap out of bed! :twisted:
Guest Brody Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 Point taken, i was planning on providing this anyway :P
Guest yoos Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 could you make the snooze button for the e200 one of the actual softkeys? So I don't have to select menu>snooze. Thats my biggest problem in the morning ... hitting dismiss all, then waking up an hour later & having to leap out of bed! oh man, I really hate having to select menu>snooze also... I wish they would have kept snooze linked to a soft key straight away.
Guest arman68 Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 I have been testing all of the alarms application I could find on WM2003 and I keep coming back to the built-in alarm, for one simple reason: if the keypad is locked, I need to unlock it first before I can snooze or dismiss the alarm. Having to press Right soft key and number 1, is better than unlocking. IMHO a required feature of the alarm application is to be able to dismiss or snooze with one keypress. If you cannot implement it, I would suggest that your program manipulates the built in alarm to automatically adjust the time and status (on/off) according to your program schedule. If you can handle the locked keypad though, here are features which I think are nice to have: * one click snooze on right soft key (dismiss on left) * homescreen plugin (that's a must) which can go straight into your application to configure the alarm * flexible alarm in times of scheduling which days and time it is activated * configurable snooze time (the default of 5 mins is too short to go back to sleep ;-) I would prefer 10 mins) * large current time display when the alarm rings, and reminder of when the alarm was due * increasing sound volume with configurable max level * configurable "give up" period (eg: after 45 mins dismiss automatically) * prepare breakfast :-D How are you getting on anyway?
Guest Brody Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 I'm getting there guys, all basic functionality is in place, its the small "niggles" that i'm working on now. Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest Brody Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 I've been using my alarm to wake me in the mornings, its close! I'm having to write up what i've done so far to get my Masters but as soon as i've finished the report i'll complete the programming ready for release... I may post a screenshot to keep you guys interested in the first post of this topic in the near future so keep your eyes open! :)
Guest yoos Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 I am definitely looking forward to this one... Please post a screen shot!
Guest Brody Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 Screenshots added to first post on first page. Its still a work in progress...
Guest yoos Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 Screenshots look cool! Looks like an easy app to use! Looking forward to it....
Guest I. C. Monsters Posted September 9, 2004 Report Posted September 9, 2004 Are there any updates on this little beauty yet? I'm still in need of a decent alarm app for my C500.
Guest Brody Posted September 9, 2004 Report Posted September 9, 2004 Project submitted, just a little work required on the app to finish it off now, i'm away for a half a week now but with any luck i'll have it finished in the near future.
Guest I. C. Monsters Posted September 9, 2004 Report Posted September 9, 2004 Good news! Best of luck with the project. I hope all goes well. Cheers, I. C. Monsters
Guest sinnerman Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 What happened to this probject? It's been quite a while since the last post. Does anyone know if the app was finished?
Guest Brody Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 Hehe, i've been job hunting! I am just about to try and complete it though, i may well release beta versions to plus members soon too, remember to refer my username if you sign up!
Guest Pigo Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 Any chance of a 2002 version of this alarm??? sounds great Pigo
Guest Brody Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 A 2002 version would require a total re-write (and i'd have to learn C++!) so i doubt it'll happen unfortunately, sorry!
Guest phrozenpenguin Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 Im happy to test, i have SPV C500. Mail me phrozenpneguin AT msn DOT com if you need it!
