Alarm keeps going off

[Guest Wheelz24UK]

I have a wake up alarm on my phone and the other day I went to switch it off and it crashed, so I did a soft reset which I thought would sort it all out. But the alarm still kept going off with no way to switch it off. So the only thing I could think of was to turn the alarm off completely. But this still did nothing and now the wake up alarm I set keeps going and I can't switch it off. Is there a reset in the regsitry I can tweak to get rid of it?

Thanks

Have you tried a hard reset?

I'm trying everything before I get around to that as I've got a shed load of software (wisbar, tomtom 6, agenda fusion etc, etc, etc) and it would be a pain to have to put them all back on.

I had this problem. I changed the date to aboutApril 2006. Then did a soft reset. Then Changed it back to correct date, and did another soft reset and it sorted it

When I go back to before the alarm crashed it works fine, but then once i've done a soft reset, I go back and change it to todays date, it starts up with the alarm again. Is there a reg setting that I can change to get rid of it?

No idea if this will work, but there is some software called scarybear checknotifications . This lets you examine the notifications database and delete entries. I use it because callerid notifications and sms delivery receipts can really clog up the db. It does say that it is only for WM2003 and isn't needed in 2003SE or 5, but I still get lots of events that need deleting.

I would try:

1. set date back before alarm
   
2. install checknotifications
   
3. soft reset
   
4. use CN to examine notifications and delete the one which is at the time you are having the problem (if you can see it)
   
5. soft reset
   
6. change to proper time
   
7. soft reset
   

As I said, don't know if it will work, but better than hard reset! Edited October 12, 2006 by stug
