Wow, thanks
Any problem if i put a link in my web page to this OTA Download?

JSanders · 04:18 PM

Hey, thanks Rivviepop! Very kind of you! OTAing it now.

EDIT: Working good on the 8800. Nice App, very customizable.

My server isn't "mine" so I can't verify that it will always be there -- it's just a freebie web provider. Instead, you can offer it on your own webserver for download, take a read of a blog post of mine to help you out:

configuring apache for mobile browsing « rivviepop phantom

It's really easy and would be best for you to get working, that way you can update the JAD and COD files when you release new versions.

Tried OTA but I'm getting the same error I got using PocketMac install. When I try to start app..."Error starting MyAlarm: Class 'javax.microedition.io.file.FileConnection' not found."

FileConnection is known as JSR-75 (j2me spec/feature) and is not supported on the 8700 device, according to the specs. lhurtado would need to make a new version of the program which doesn't link to this capability...

An Overview of the File Connection Optional Package

(looking at the app, I can't see why you'd need it - maybe he's using it to save the prefs?)

Could be for selecting the ringtones.

Nice application by the way!

Exactly!
FileConnection is used to select the mp3 or midi file.
I have reports about 8700 running this app. I think they have BB OS 4.2 that support FileConnection

excellent application

lhurtado · 07-05-2007, 12:59 PM

Hi, today I uploaded a new version with a new option called alarm code (thanks BenMarvin for the idea). You need to enter a 10 digit random number to turn the alarm off. Also I add a link to a .jar file, so you dont need Desktop Manager to install it (look in my page if you dont know how to do it...).

Thanks for the new version! I updated my OTA link with the new code for those that want to use it.

cayzac · 07-05-2007, 03:19 PM

I don't understand...why would you want to enter a 10 digit code to turn off the alarm? Nice program BTW!

the basic idea is to wake up ..
when you would be forced to enter a random 10 digit code
chances are very high that you will

cayzac · 07-05-2007, 03:37 PM

ROFL! Gotcha! Neat idea, boy, can't imagine how p*ssed I'd be if it went off at 6am and I couldn't remember my code!

I don't think you need to remember the code

I don't know how they intend to do it
but from what i read.. its that they will show u a 10 digit random code

while being sleepy .. you have to view the code and enter it ..
if its correct .. alarm will go of
else volume increases ..

I have to say that's one of the more unique methods of handling that issue I've come across.

cayzac · 07-05-2007, 03:47 PM

That's hilarious! Don't know that I would ever use it but very creative!

gdpmumin, nice avatar! Go ****s!

Dang! Nevermind! Go Carolina!

gdpmumin · 07-05-2007, 03:55 PM

Yeah, we're the only mascot I know of that gets banned.

My mother still mentions how embarrassed she was at some of the t-shirts I wore in college.

Don't know about Blackberry Devices
but this way of "waking people up" is there on some pc alarms ..

HRom · 07-05-2007, 05:20 PM

Any way to make the alarm turn the Berry on if it is off as the internal alarm does?

lhurtado · 07-08-2007, 03:09 AM

Cant do this now I need .cod sign to turn BB on or add the app to the profile settings... I plan to buy the cod sign from RIM if i there is enough $$ from donations...

This is a fantastic program you've got here! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Dispatcher35 · 08:55 AM

I checked out the webpage for the application and it seems like a very useful one except I have a 7100.

I was wondering if the are any plans to come out with a 71XX version?

Ketchums · 07-08-2007, 09:01 PM

just downloaded....will leave feedback when I can!

Lowrider · 07-11-2007, 06:46 AM

Dang, I almost missed this thread. Thx Hurtado

deficitism · 07-11-2007, 08:00 AM

I would LOVE to have this app work on my 8703. I'm a heavy sleeper that seems to 'forget' turning off my alarm in the morning. The 10-digit code is brilliant!

PLEASE open this up to 4.1 devices!

I currently get:
Error starting MyAlarm: Class 'javax.microedition.io.file.FileConnection' not found."

danmcg · 07-11-2007, 09:35 AM

It doesn't seem to want to play a sound file off my phone as the alarm. Has anyone else experienced this?

Also even on volume 100 it is not loud at all. Don't think it would wake me up. Any way to make it louder?

I also can not play files on my phone as the alarm... Another thing, how do you set the alarm code?
