WM 6.1 Alarm Wont Disable

TitanAlum · #1 (**permalink**) 01-22-2009, 11:30 AM

I'm on a Verizon 6800 with the MR1 upgrade. I recently went back to using SPB Time which works great. The problem is that even though I've unchecked the two alarms I had set previously using the standard WM 6.1 alarm they still go off at the set time each day. I've checked and unchecked the items more than once soft resetting each time yet they refuse to disable. Has anyone else had this problem and if so is there some way to fix it short of a hard reset? Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

I had this problem on the apache. While I dig up the permanent solution, a quick band aid would be to turn off sounds for the alarms in settings>sounds & notifications.

Be back shortly with your perma-fix.

Edit: I think I got it. First, go into your alarms and make sure all of your alarms are unchecked and do a soft reset just to set it in stone. Then run a regedit program (if you don't have one you can get one here) and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT USER>System>State>Shell>Alarms. If what I am thinking is true, even though you had turned off all your alarms through the clock settings, there should still be entries in this registry.

You can delete these entries it will be safe. As soon as you make a new alarm in the clock settings then the correct values will show.

After you do that go ahead and post some results.

Thanks for the quick response. I've already turned off the sound , that was my pseudo fix. I was eager to try the registry hack but when i follow the registry path you listed I don't have "alarms" mine looks like HKEY_CURRENT USER>System>State>Shell>Reminders under which it says (default) (vakue not set). Hmmmm. Should I be looking elsewhere? Just dawned on me, could it be because I've moved some DLLs to the storage card?

If the clock settings cannot find an alarm to go to, then there will be no entry for that. Shoot, that was my only lead so far.

Do you still have SPB time installed? did you try all the quick fixes like uninstalling and reinstalling?

Thanks for all the advice Dano. I uninstalled and reinstalled Phonesuite twice and everything seemed to be working then my phone starting hanging up on soft resetso i ended up hard resetting and starting from scratch. All is well now. Thanks again.

Sorry it took a hard reset

but if all is well and good then I guess that is all that counts.
