Alarm "repeat" greyed out...

[CAD-KONG]

ok... i've got a problem with my alarm... i've got my alarm set for a certain time... well, it's my morning alarm... and i've noticed that it only sounds off once... at the specified time... well, if i hit snooze, it only vibrates after that... so i try to adjust it to repeat the sound... when i go and try that, the repeat box is greyed out... so how do i fix this??? i'm kinda confused why it does this... any help is appreciated... thanks...

I have not checked these since I went to Window Mobile 6.1, but here is what I have in my notes for 6.0. I also seem to remember that this may cause them to keep repeating forever.

Enabling Repeating Alarms
===================

1. This will enable the "Repeat" option within Sounds and Notifications for Phone: Missed Call.

\HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D660-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}

Options
Value data: 1073741845 (was 15)
Decimal

Changing this registry setting enables the Repeat option as well as "Flash Light for 15 minutes". You can make changes to any of the options, as needed and the Repeat should stay enabled.

2. This will enable the "Repeat" option within Sounds and Notifications for Messaging: New Text Message.

\HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65B-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}

Yes, you have it right. Again these are the WM 6.0 values. I think they may have changed for 6.1, but the locations are the same I think.....just write down what it was, in case you have to change back.
