Alarm and soft keys

[Guest Dr Forinor]

Hey everyone, I have a problem with the C500 in that when the alarm goes off, I'm half asleep and instead of pressing the right soft key and then pressing snooze, I always press the left soft key and then I am late in getting up.

Is there any way that I can make it so that the left soft key is the snooze button? It would my life a WHOLE lot easier, or any software that I can get a hold of?

Thanks in advance.

I do not think you can remap the key but there are a few alarm applications around that may do what you want.

Dr Fornior, I had the same problem as you! It may not be real high-tech, but the only solution I've found so far is having my phone on the opposite side of the room with a really loud, annoying tune as the alarm. That way, I can't just sleep through it, but have to get up to go switch it off.

Like I said, not real high-tech, but it's the only thing I've found (short of the other half's kids) that actually get's me up in time for work! :D

Confused Stu: Lol, thing is, if it is too far, I don't hear it, and I'm not exaggerating. I always have it on the most annoying loud tone anyway, but you have to realise, that the whole house wakes up before I ever do, even though it is right next to my ear. So if it was halfway across the room, I wouldn't even ehar it, so that wouldnt work, lol :D Thanks for the suggestion though :D

Awarner: Yes, I did find an alarm software that allows me to set 5 alarms each day, so I suppose I can set each alarm a minute apart from each other in case I do press the wrong soft key by mistake. But using this software, the softwkeys are such that it is a direct press for the "Dismiss" and the other key gives a direct hit for "Snooze", ie, you dont have to go into the "popup menu" in order to press snooze. Hopefully that will help.

Thanks for the replies guys, appreciated.

Actually i do have the same problem with you Dr. The thing is that what i use to do is to set it up an hour earlyer (with my old siemens at list snoozes for 5minutes) and then snooze it something like 10/15 times. :roll:

Is there a alarm that i could install and do the same thing? I can get use to press the left or the right key but no way i can do combinations in the morning.. I still use my old siemens as an alarm clock. :cry:

Any sugestions?

I use Fizz Traveller 2 for alarms. It has snooze and dismiss associated with the two soft keys, and you can set the snooze interval to whatever you like (5 minutes is ok for me though).

@ Dr Forinor: I set two alarms too: the "wake up" alarm and the "lazy bum" alarm 30 minutes later, just in case I press the dismiss button by mistake.
