flip clock (0.97-7) is now starting inself at random times and comming up with the stop/snooze dialog as if an alarm has just gome off there is no sound though.

Think Im going to have to stick to the N8x0 version for the moment!

I upgraded (?) to 0.97-7 on my N800 and now I get no sound with the alarms. The stop/snooze dialog comes up, so flipclock *thinks* it's doing something. This morning I hit snooze instead of stop, and lo and behold, ten minutes later my wake-up song started playing.

I don't know if that's consistent behavior, but I'll try it every morning and see.

This is a strange problem. I thought I was okay because I tested all of my alarms and made sure the songs played. I tested by setting an alarm a few minutes in the future, however none of them actually work at 6:00am when I need them.

How can I go back to the earlier version that worked?

I'm still trying to get sound with my alarms. I have un-installed and re-installed a few times. I tried the "flipAlarmSync clear clear clear" thing, but that seemed to kill the alarm notification itself; previously the alarm would trigger with the stop/snooze dialog and no sound, but I didn't even get that this morning.

I've re-installed again, and I have a set of weekday morning alarms. I tested each mp3 file by setting an alarm a minute or two in the future and confirmed that the files I am using actually play in FlipClock. Along the way I found several mp3 files that FlipClock would not play but play fine in Canola.

The real test will be tomorrow morning at 6:00 AM. In one of my earlier attempts, I verified the mp3 file would play for an alarm a couple of minutes in the future, only to find FlipClock completely silent at the appointed time the next morning when it mattered.

I've seem some posts about problems with UTF-8. Some of my mp3 files have funny characters in the path, e.g. songs by Béla Fleck. Could that cause a problem even though I'm not using one of those files as an alarm sound?

I love this app and came to depend on it as my morning alarm clock. I'm really frustrated that 0.97-7 doesn't work for me. I'm using an original N800, if that matters.

How can I help debug the problems?

Would you be able to send us the file name (with full path) as well the ID3 Tag for that file? We will first try to reproduce it by creating a file with the same name and see what happens.

Do you have any other plugin for profile? The current version of flip clock ONLY play alarm if the profile is not set as slient. Trust me, i learn it the hardway myself on that. I mean if it works as the alarm a couple minutes in, it will work the same way for any future alarms as that's how i configure it as well for myself.

Update...

This only seems to happen when I have a differant alarm every day. It also doesnt happen if I turn all alarms off in FlipClock

There's a catch.

On the N900 it seems flipclock only syncs the alarms, every second try. I.e. set an alarm, go back to the main screen... If you see the system message "Alarms synced..." it'll sound.

If now you go reset the alarm to some other time, and go back to the main screen, it doesn't sync the alarm, i.e. no info message. Fliplock still shows 8 hours till the alarm, or what have you, but it ain't gonna sound.

If you just go in to set the alarm again, don't change anything and go back to the main screen, it'll show the message "Alarms synced" and it'll sound then at the alotted time.

This is the biggest catch... serious, I also learnt the hard way...

Update: I had sound with my alarm this morning! Yay!!

Interesting about FlipClock on the N900 syncing the alarms only on the second try. I have an N800, and I think I've always seen the "alarmd sync'd" pop-up, but I'm not sure. I'll pay more attention to that one.

Spenc3: I will send the full path and ID3 tag for a couple of the songs that FlipClock refuses to play. Also, I have no other profile set, and I didn't change profiles yesterday, so I don't think that's biting me.
