PDA Forum / Palm / August 2008Palm/Desktop: Want alarm 1.25 hours ahead of event
I'm using Palm Desktop 4.1.4. I want to set the set an alarm for an event, but I want the alarm to go off 1.75 hours ahead of the event. It seems that I can only specify full minutes or full hours, not both e.g. 1 hour and 45 minutes. I also cannot specify more than 99 minutes (1.75 hours is 105 minutes). I also cannot specify a decimal point, as in 1.75 hours. This seems to be quite restrictive. Is there a way to specify an arbitrary amount of time? Would it succesfully download into the Palm V? > I'm using Palm Desktop 4.1.4. I want to set the set an alarm for an > event, but I want the alarm to go off 1.75 hours ahead of the event.

The simple solution would be to set an event for the time you want the alarm to sound. > > I'm using Palm Desktop 4.1.4.

If possible, it'd be a great to be able to set the alarm without filling up the calendar with extra stuff.

I use Diddlebug (freeware) for alarms. I especially like that I can scribble notes on the alarm, as well as being able to set it for certain days of the week. My husband uses his Palm as an alarm clock, having set Diddlebug to only alert him on weekdays. -lisa > AndyHancock <AndyMHanc...@gmail.com> wrote... > > On Jul 23, 3:20 am, Bill Marcum <marcumb...@bellsouth.net> [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > for certain days of the week.

Does it somehow cause the Palm Desktop to retain this information? I often do things through the Palm Desktop and synch with the Palm device.

You won't be able to access this through the Palm Desktop, however. -lisa > AndyHancock <AndyMHanc...@gmail.com> wrote... > > On Jul 29, 3:46 pm, "lisa in mass." <l...@operations.com> [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > and seconds, if you wish.

Does that mean that the appointments don't show up in the Palm Desktop, or that the alarm time gets rounded off?

Your Diddlebug notes and alarm times are not accessible through the Palm Desktop. The alarm is not rounded off. I find Diddlebug particularly useful because it combines a notepad-type drawing area with an optional alarm. The note is displayed when the alarm is triggered. The alarm can be a countdown timer or set to a fixed date (or repeated days) and time. If you need to access it from within the Palm Desktop, however, it won't work for you. -lisa > AndyHancock <AndyMHanc...@gmail.com> wrote... > > On Aug 11, 12:59 am, "lisa in mass." <l...@operations.com> [quoted text clipped - 58 lines] > If you need to access it from within the Palm Desktop, > however, it won't work for you. Alright. Thanks for the pointer anyhow! |
