Repeating Alarm? Where is it?

[Guest UniqueTouch]

Hi,

I've had my i-mate sp5 for a few days now and am really loving it.

I found a majot annoyance though.

When I set the alarm for the morning (or whenever) it plays the tone ONCE and then waits on the dimiss screen (wtf for I don't know).

Is there now way to repeat the alarm until I dismiss or snooze it myself?

I hope it's just me and I'm doing something wrong or is this just another WM5 annoyance?

Thanks

I thought that was fixed on WM5!

If not, try the attached CAB...

Custom_CABbage_Repeating_Alarm.cab

[Guest UniqueTouch]

Can you tried setting an alarm on yours and if it repeats or not?

Do you know what regkey that cab is adding/amending as I'd rather do it manually.

Cheers Paul.

A quick look inside the CAB suggests it's setting:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Clock

value

Script

to

apr

Try it! ;)

[Guest UniqueTouch]

Another one bites the dust!!

I just tried this on my Axim X50v, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Does this only apply to clock alarms, and not appointment alarms?

[Guest b0bby]

for the script reg setting i tend to use apw2r

waits for 2 seconds before repeating, it made me throw my c500 off the desk one morning using apr ;)

This Cab file seems to fix the looping alarm but stops the phone from vibrating when the alarm sounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To make the phone vibrate and sound alarm I used av0pw3r

HOWEVER once the cabbage reg tweak is run you CANNOT change the alarm to anything else i.e vibrate only, so you are stuck with ring on loop!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to know what the original setting are.

Did you not backup your registry before tweaking it ? ;)

The CABbage tweak just adds a string value of apr to the registry location HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Clock\<script>

I guess you can just delete this and put it back to normal ?

Can someone please confirm this is correct ?

It does add a value. But if you do this manually you get the option to change alarm sound settings. With the cab file it seems set and won't alter.

I added mine myself so I can change my alrm settings, But I would just delete the script that has the apwr in it and it's back to it's origial setting.

...or you could create a looped .wav using Windows Soundrecorder, or even use a long MP3.

I using Cold Plays 'Clocks' as my ringing alarm. that way no playing with registries or no vibrating .... if i dont get up in the 3 and a half minutes it goes on snooze!

E:)
