Notices

Jolouis, maybe a refinement on the default folder that contains our sound files. In the "Set Alarms" screen, "Mode" is set for "Sound", "Loop" is enabled, and I have already selected "Song.mp3" from the "Sounds" folder on my external memory card. Once I do this, it should remember that default folder so everytime I click on "Alarm Sound" the contents of that folder is displayed. Many times it reverts back to the internal flash which is where our applications are stored.

I noticed you forgot to seed the random number generator, so although the tracks are chosen at random, you get the same tracks every time flip clock starts.
Perhaps adding this somewhere:

#include <time.h>

srand( (unsigned)time(NULL) );

Same thing here, locking up when I use the alarm.

I know it's going to happen again tomorrow though... if anyone can figure out what stage of the game thigns are at when they lock up/crash I'd greatly appreciate it so I can find a way of reproducing the issue consistently in order to troubleshoot/fix it!

Jolouis, both times that FlipClock locked up was just after the music (mp3 file) begain to play. I noticed that there were black rectangles on the main clock screen as if an email alert was trying to be displayed during the alarm or else some other message like "Unable to connect to one or more accounts" was trying to be displayed.

More detail:
My alarm was set to go off at 8:00am.
In "Alarms Set" screen Mode = "sound", set for "loop", snooze=off.
FlipClock was not even running, not minimized. It runs when there is an alarm condition.

Thanks!

I watch the second triangle approach sixty, when it's at 58 seconds, I guess that's when the minute flip starts, it fails with the above mentioned segfault.
