Alarm Problems with Pocket PC 2003?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 07:00 PM
I received an email from someone this week that got me wondering:
"There is a definite problem with the way alarms fire off in PPC2003 (Windows Mobile). I've seen both my 2215 and another 1940 exhibit the same behavior. I have an alarm set to go off at 5:15am every day. Yesterday it worked fine. Today it did NOT go off until I MANUALLY turned the device on. Not good."
We know there were some strange quirks with the Pocket PC 2002 OS and alarms, and Microsoft never really admitted them. The question is, do we still have this problem? Or does this only affect 2215 users?
