Jolouis-
I already tried restarting the unit...
When I try the command flipalarmSync I get a 'not found' error..?

Anyway, please don't be bothered too much by this particular bug/error: I will use the program with 12-hour modus until you have a new beta version to test (as you suggested).

An update:
I just set FlipClock in 12-hour mode and set up a test alarm.
Yes, I now see the 'Turn alarm off' and 'Snooze..' buttons, but there's no sound... After two minutes: still no sound.

When I started FlipClock, I had the volume set to 1 (I use the 'Advanced Backlight' program, that manipulates backlight, volume and orientation settings). When I exited FlipClock, I saw that the volume was maxed out. It's strange that I don't hear the alarm file!

In Media Player, the mp3 I had chosen is playing normally, so it's not a mp3-file-related issue.

Next step: Set the brightness to 50 & the volume also to 50.
Open Flipclock, set up a test alarm...
AaAargh! --the alarm buttons (turn alarm off & snooze) popped up, but still no sound.

What if I uninstall this Advanced Backlight program?
Let's try that... In Application Manager I uninstall 'Advanced Backlight'... Go to 'Panels' in 'Control panel' to choose 'Sound' and 'Display' to show in the 'Status bar'.... open Flip, set up a test alarm ............. the seconds are slowly ticking by..... suddenly I'm glad that there's a seconds bar in FlipClock......

Still no sound

Just to be sure, I then turned the unit off and on again, tried it all again and....? no. alarm. sound.

Just to be VERY sure, I tried another mp3 (you can never try too much, eh?) and ....? I HAVE SOUND!!!

I love to have sound, but then I hate it that the original mp3 did not work... why oh why? Perhaps because it's on the 'internal memory card' and not on the 'N810 card' as the sound that just worked is on? Another test!

Move the not-working mp3 to the 'N810 card'.... test it in Flip....
No sound.

Do I hear More tests! More tests!
OK: Let's look more closely to the mp3 that worked and the mp3 that didn't:

this one worked:


and this one didn't:


Hmmm. the one that worked has a fixed bitrate (128Kbps) and the one that refused to work has a variable bitrate of 200Kbps.
And, ID3 Tag v2.2 (works) and v2.3 (doesn't work).
(and, the one that worked is in English while the one that didn't work is in Dutch )

Forum poster Nelson L. Squeeko also had mp3 issues. I suspect that FlipClock can only work with fixed bitrate mp3's...?

Jolouis, perhaps you know of this limitation already,but if you didn't know it, you do now

Phew... Sometimes I feel that this is the only thing I do with my tablet.... testing and trying to figure out why something is not working...

Now I have to re-install the 'Advanced Backlight' program...

UI Design post will follow later!
