WM5 Problem: Alarms

[Guest timpharrison]

I have a UK T-Mobile MDA Compact III, running WM5.

I've got a problem, that went an alarm goes off, it no longer displays a message on the screen, so I can't cancel it. It used to be that I could disable the alarm by pressing one of the soft keys (the left one). Now, the alarm just rings and rings, and there is no way to turn it off, except by soft-reset. V. annoying! Note this is a problem with clock aalarms - not calendar appointments.

I don't know if its related, but I have recently installed SBP Phone Suite.

Cheers,

Tim

... it turns out my problem was not just with alarms, I was actually not getting notifications for my calendar appointments either.

Worse still, after a bit more research it looks like this has been a common problem, across numerous device from WM 2002 to WM5.

After lots of research and pi$$ing around, I finally found a working solution to the problem on the following forum.

I followed Kaplana's advice, using his "Quick Fix" suggestion, in conjunction with trial version of MemMaid
