Re: [Announce] "Alarmed" scheduling App (supports automatic GPRS data counter resetting)

A couple of suggestions for future alarmed:
1) Allow importing of old alarm_queue.ini.
2) Add workday functionality for one to use in events. Like in symbian phones, they allow you to set workdays for alarm to go off and you can simply uncheck days of the week off instead of manually turning off each alarm you set for that workday.
3) Maybe a custom event that allows one to set for specific event to happen for instance every month? E.g. my mobile broadband quota gets reset on the 22nd of every month but I can't set that easily without having to change it after the date has gone past.

Re: [Announce] "Alarmed" scheduling App (supports automatic GPRS data counter resetting)

hi, alarmed hasn't been working on my mobile for a while, and i now need it to work..

it does not open when lauched like others on this thread

the old alarms and gprs reset still function, it's just the interface that won't lauch.

from xterm i ger

importerror /usr/lib/pyton2.5/site-packages/pyside/qtcore.so: undefined symbol: _zn6pyside15destroylistener8instanceev

(just manually typed this )

any idea?

thanks

Re: [Announce] "Alarmed" scheduling App (supports automatic GPRS data counter resetting)

First of all: Finally a new version!

0.3.0-1

New: Switching to a specific network (as requested by rotoflex)
New: Builtin functions: Switch to 2G, 3G or Dual Mode
Fixed: Scheduling for 'Next...' now works (as reported by Deserve)

---

For all those who are experiencing Segmentation Faults or errors similar to "undefined symbol: _zn6pyside15destroylistener8instanceev": Make sure you're N900 is up-to-date and that you are in fact using python-pyside components. You can try this:

Code:

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

apt-get install --reinstall python-pyside.qtcore python-pyside.qtgui python-pyside.qtmaemo5

If that doesn't work I'm out of clues. The problem is that the python bindings need to match the C++ Qt installtion on the N900 and sometimes the releases aren't simultaneous which causes these problems.

3) This is already possible. Simply choose 'Once a month' and then choose a date. The event will run every month starting at the date you chose. In your case, just set it to the 22nd of September and it will always run on the 22nd of every month from thereon. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure what happens if you choose a date between 29 and 31 in months that don't have that date, it's been too far back. Assume that they wont be run.

Awesome, put a Donate button in your first post!

Re: [Announce] "Alarmed" scheduling App (supports automatic GPRS data counter resetting)

thanks for the update.
I can confirm that upgrading Alarmed is causing issue when launching the application: it gives a segmentation fault.
It seems that somehow something along the upgrade in extra-devel is causing the issue:
here is the info of the upgrade from FAM (faster application manager)=
REMOVE
pyside-qt4-maemo5 0.3.1-1maemo2
libpyside0.3 0.3.1-1maemo2
libshiboken0.3 0.3.1-0maemo1
pyside-qt4-core 1.0.3-1maemo2
pyside-qt4-gui 1.0.3-1maemo2

INSTALL/UPGRADE
libshiboken1.0 1.0.5-1maemo1
libpyside1.0 1.0.5-1maemo1
python-psyide.qtmaemo5 1.0.5-1maemo1
alarmed 0.3.0-1

I have no clue to see if there is a problem with dependencies, or something that changed in pyside -qt or any sort of conflict...
So I had to revert to the extra-testing version to have it working again.

Is this a different implementation than using the "Weekly" alarm type, which then allows you to select the days of the week the event will be triggered? That is how I set up functions that differ on workdays & weekends.

Still, my sound profile changes correctly, so the app still works, but no GUI. tried to refresh to newer version - appmanaged stopped with some package conflict error (can't remember which exactly). Later, I've deleted the app with x-terminal and installed with apt-get command - install successfuly, but don't start anyway. reinstalled with appmanager - no errors, but don't work either. profiles change normally. How can I return the working GUI?

PR 1.3, overclocked to 900 mhz.

If there's something wrong with the new version, where can I get the older version to downgrade to?

I think this is the same issue I am facing (see two posts above). Try to use the version from extra-testing and do not update with the version on extra-devel.
I believe you can just remove the application and install it again with extra-devel not activated.
