I have an idea for a app that would use G-Sensor... Alarm clock to replace the "not so good to use wm6.1 one"
It could turn off the alarm when shaking the phone... Tilting your phone face down would give you pre configured amount of extra time after alarm...
Also fullscreen buttons for deactivation and snooze would be nice... The stylus tends to be really crappy to use in the mornings.
Mp3 support...
Could easily pay 20EUR for a working software like this...
When people wake up in the morning they are usually very tired. I can easily see people losing grip on the phone while shaking it to silence the alarm. The consequences might be hard.
Nice Idea, sounds logical and doable I hope a serious developers picks up the idea. A nice finger friendly way of setting would be great as well. You should probably put a link to this thread in the G sensor apps sticky.
think it is a great idea !
yeah there was some mention of this in the Schap's 5.00 ROM development page, but yeah if someone could make a stand alone program which uses the G-sensor, or at least big finger friendly buttons to turn it off, that would b gr8

YES to that !!!
Also, it would be nice if the alarm notice on the Today screen, will show not only the time of the next alarm, but also the amount of hours left for the next alarm (like in SPB Mobile Shell).
This is a great idea! The alarm on my phone really pissed me off this morning (you have to dig through the task bar to get to it, menu item to snooze, blah!). I'll have it done sometime later today or early tomorrow!
Doh - Koush was faster...
i also like this idea!
Yep - Very good idea!!

Actually I've already implemented this function in my user interface. It stops alarm, but I could also add an option to delay alarm, that's a good idea!
Schaps, you're just the MASTER of Rom Cooking.....
Yeah - great idea...
Easy alarm setup from somewhere within the touchflo interface would be great.
There should be an option if shaking kills the alarm or just acts like a "snooze" function which delays the alarm by 10 min...
We need that
alarm
Is this out yet? would be awesome! looking forward to this!!
Hi all, I finished the alarm program as promised (I'm calling it Klaxon). I'm working on making the application look pretty now, sadly I'm not very artistic. If anyone wants to donate some bitmaps that I can use as the buttons, that would be awesome!
I'll provide a link to the CAB shortly.
Features:
Unlimited number of alarms.
You can customize the alarm in the following ways:
-Alarm sound file (MP3, WAV, WMV)
-Snooze Time
-Expire Time (so it doesn't go on forever)
-Days of the week to use the alarm
-Time of day to go off (obviously)
-Enable/Disable
-Flip the phone over from any orientation to "snooze" it.
-I'm thinking about putting a shake functionality to turn it off, but sleepy people may destroy their phones!
-Big finger friendly buttons.
Let me know if you guys have any more suggestions!
Sounds great Koush! I look forward to help beta-test the alarm program!
Let me know if you guys have any more suggestions!

Koush,
Once you set the alarm to wake you at a certain hour, is it possible to see on the "Today" screen, not only the time that the alarm suppose to start, but also the amount of hours that are left until the alarm will start ?
For example, if the time now is 11:00pm, and you set the alarm for 7:00am, then on the Today screen it will show: "7:00am (8 hours from now)".
Koush,
Another suggestion: is it possible for you to add an option that once you set an alarm, the device will switch to Silent Profile, and once the alarm goes off and you deactivate it, the sound profile gets back to what it was before ?
Everytime I set the alarm at night, I also need to switch the profile to Silent, so no one will wake me up while I sleep. When I get up in the morning, I need to set the sound profile back to normal. It would be nice if your alarm could save the hassle.
Hi Koush, fast work, how about turn the phone over twice, or over and back, to kill the alarm, once to snooze? Looking forward to your cab. Thanks
Excellent Idea
Wait fro the CAB
This is your standard Alarm Clock with some new features!
Flip your phone over to snooze the alarm.
Customize your snooze time.
Wake up to songs on your SD card.
Version 1, and this is XDA-Devs so I'm counting you guys to give me constructive criticism and report bugs.

Grab it off the Market!
This should work on top of the pattern password. When the alarm goes off it needs to pop up on top of everything on the phone.
It looks exactly like the Alarm that comes on the phone and I kinda dont like that since I want to be able to distinguish the 2.
tnx great start

Klaxon can use your phone's accelerometer:
Flip your phone over to snooze the alarm.
Shake your phone to turn off the alarm.
In addition, you can now pick a song off your SD card to use as your alarm sound!

Incidentally I originally created this application for the HTC Touch Diamond, and it was a huge hit... 60000+ downloads.

I think its a good idea, but I can't get the shake to turn off the alarm to work? The snoozing part works good though. Any suggestions? (I also commented this in the market)

Try "long" shakes as opposed to "short" or "quick" shakes. The accelerometers are right next to the speakers, and are very sensitive... while developing this, I found the alarm sound itself would make the accelerometer think it is being shaken. The only way I could fix this was by responding to only certain types of shakes.
Hahaha, the default alarm is not something to be used in a very quiet office environment. I about pee'd myself.
Hey, first off pretty good app and its useful..
i know it might be taking a chunk of your time..but how bout some options like "join the dots" maze or something like that for us heavy sleepers
something like the g-alarm...if you know what i mean...
It doesn't seem to work all the time. Sometimes I shake and it works other times it doesn't work, cool app though! This should be posted in apps thread.
is there anyway to set a default snooze time and a default alarm sound... or u have to set that up with each new alarm that u create....?
The flipover for snooze is really cool. I shook the phone like a crying baby and it would still not turn the alarm off.
How hard and with what intensity does one have to shake the phone to silence the alarm?
BTW: Default alarm made me think the fire suppression system was going off in the data center next to my office.
Unfortunately I had to remove the shake to turn off feature: it's too hard to distinguish between when someone is shaking the phone and when the phone is just vibrating because music is playing.
In fact, there used to be a bug where the alarm would turn off because the music "shook" the phone. Sometimes it would register readings of up to 2.5Gs... which is a lot.
The Diamond didn't have this problem; I am guessing this is because the accelerometer location is probably closer to the speaker on the G1 than it was on the Diamond.
I added customizable snooze this last version too.
The flipover for snooze is plenty enough for me. Definitely a fun and very functional app. Doesn't always like to snooze if its on a soft surface I noticed. I stuck it between two pillows and reached in and flipped it over... took a couple flips to get it to recognize the flip. Works perfect on any hard surface like a desk or countertop.
what about this for an idea: when you pick up the phone upright, it acknoweldges the alarm- when it's flipped over, it snoozes?

old version
Do you have link to the old version with shake?
Does anyone have the Klaxon apk?
I don't see it on the market anymore and I would love to install it.
Thanks.
Here is free version
Just what I wanted! Thanks a lot.
I got my G1 today and I'm going app-crazy at the moment. I love it!
Edit -- NM
Yeah I tried searching for it in the marketplace last night and it wasn't there. Searched again this morning and it is back though.
For those of you that don't know Bedside,
It is a night clock that turns off all notifications while it's opened. However, if somebody calls you, it will ring/vibrate, or whatever ring mode you had before you opened it. For example:
- You set the phone to vibrate
- Open Bedside
- You get any notification, sms, email, other app, etc.. it wont vibrate or sound, nothing.
- You get a call, it will vibrate.
It has features like:
- TTS (Text-to-Speech), long press anywhere on the screen, and Bedside will say the time. You can enable/disable this on the preferences.
- Swipe Up/Down for Brightness Control.
- Battery Status
- Option not to turn off sounds (Clock Only).
- Ability to Keep Screen On, or just let it off along with your Display Timeout setting (Bedside will keep running).
- 24 Hours Format (TTS will say time in 24 hours as well)
- Text Colors
- Text Fonts (only for the time)
- Subtle Background (optional since it doesn't help with Brightness)
- Flashlight (on the menu, or also you can enable the Show Lightbulb option on preferences and a small lightbulb will show up on the top left corner for easy flashlight access)
As you can see, this app is very customizable and useful. It's $1.49 and available in the market right now.
There's a "Lite" version as well but it's missing many features that the regular version has.
Who wants SMS whitelist support????

I'd like that. Also (not my idea, saw it elsewhere on the forums), notification icons would be nice. Just little discrete email & SMS icons in the corner, so you can see if something's come in.

that was exactly my idea, i've been implementing sms support in order for me to do whitelists, since i have that I could also put ex "2 unread SMS", however I don't think I can access the gmail unread messages and such programatically, I'll look into that.
Are you the developer? Anyway, be nice to see those features.
I tried all the 'bedside' style clocks awhile back, including paid.. this ones the best.
Yes, I'm the developer
Thanks, I've got some of those features almost done, I'm doing some fine tuning and internal testing before releasing, I don't want any issues like I've had before when releasing "untested" versions....
BTW, this features (and any other new feature) are going to be release only for the paid version... sorry for those that have the lite version, and thank you for those that have the paid one
Need a beta tester, I'm in.
Paid, BTW. I used to really hunt around for the free apps, but seriously.. Few bucks are easily worth a good app.

Thank you for supporting, i know people complain "why a dollar? why not free?", cheap.. lol they spend more buying a coke...
anyways, i've got enough beta tester, like my whole family owns a g1, even my mother, she's become so techy lately its funny. Thank you for the offer though, I'll keep you in mind if i need something.
Status: I did have some problems with the whitelist, I'm showing sms counts and such but when receiving sms's it wasn't very consistent. Still fixing. Will keep you posted
Thanks
Not certain if anyone's interested, but on a whim I typed "nook" at the Market and came up with this particular app:
Simplistic Countdown Timer (Chris Pearson)
Coincidentally, I had been looking for a countdown app and had tried several variants. This guy apparently designed it for the Nook Touch and it has a cool set of features (at least for me). It's a single timer, it always shows the time remaining no matter which app/screen you're on and has a clock that does the same. The notification dialog that appears when the countdown has expired stays up until dismissed (even if the Touch goes into sleep mode).
I ended up sending a few emails to the author and he made some rather cool changes including having the timer go above 99 minutes (now it's basically unlimited).
Anyway, thought someone else might have need of a similar app. Available free at the Market.
Clever Alarm is one of the most advanced alarms for WP7. You will never oversleep!
The app has Metro style, it´s very easy to use and still free! Clever Alarm has several
types of alarm (Math, Shaking, Sorting,...) or you can choose "Nap". You can use Clever
Alarm like a bedside alarm clock. You can select your own music from the library.
Clever Alarm also runs under lock screen or you can disable the auto lock screen feature.
You can also change the color of the clock (the clock can be either analog or digital).
Clever Alarm dims the screen automatically, shows date, supports the snooze function,
supports 12/24 hours format and much more. Try it now!
The next version will bring monitoring sleep cycles and much more.

I like the math idea, I think it's a great way to ensure that the user wakes up. Just installed.
Thanks for you reply. After your testing the app, please write your comments, suggestions, problems (etc.) with the app.
Hacked!
I just minimized app and silent. Nice design, good functions, but this is bad. When I wake up, then I want sleep and don't think about the calculation.
Maybe you will need add alarm on background? but it is contrary to Marketplace the conditions, I think.
Check my app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127159
I don´t understand this sentece: "When I wake up, then I want sleep and don't think about the calculation" ...what you mean? can you write some your notes, comments,... for the app? thx
Ok, I will try
With your App:
Alarm!!!
I wake up;
Just click one key: Back, Start or Search;
Alarm is stoping;
I continue to sleep.
Your app is hacked just with one key click.
With my App:
Alarm!!!
I wake up;
Just click one key: Back, Start or Search;
Is't working - alarm still playing; (alarm is working on original music player);
I try click virtuals: stop, pause, backward, forward buttons - ALARM STILL PLAYING!
I need type code: 4815162342
I just typed true code:
Alarm is stoping. I wake up and go to in the shower or Just continue to sleep.
Hm... I'm just hacked my app self - click volume down to 0 (minimum) and alarm volume is very low. I NEED FIX IT!
I understand, but it´s again marketplace conditions... have you another tips for the app? what do you like in alarm?
I like it
Sent from my Samsung Focus S using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
i had some problems with the app, it drained my battery over night from 100% to zero, my phone was from midnight 100% to 9:00 at 0% and off. i set my alarm on this app and the digital clock appeared i locked the phone, and go to sleep, wake up with no battery, nothing. the phone was fully drained. i then charged my battery and tested again, and the same thing, from 12:00 till 15:00h my battery was drained, under lockscreen. that is not how it gonna to be or? my opinion is when you in lockscreen the app should have something like standby, and battery saving feature, and not battery drain. i then uninstalled the app and my battery lasts over 48hours. the app has a good concept, but i would like to have some times set, like on the integrated app of wp7, and just to activate them by one tap. and to have multiple alarms memorized there somewhere...
hi,
thx for your reply...next week I will work on this app and I will try solve this problem with consuming a lot of battery... And have you another tips what you want in next version?
Great app, thanks

just the one tip to have multiple times set. like in the integrated alarm of wp7. if you set an alarm that then will be stored on some other screen where all alarms clock have been set. or maybe 20. than just a button like on the integrated to activate that alarm which you want... so that you don't type every time the same time... just look at the integrated alarm clock with its times...
Excellent thread
