can somebody please help me out. I really really like this program but am having one problem with it when i set an alarm for a specific time it will never go off if my phone screen is off. The next time i turn on the phone if the alarm is set it will go off. Doesn't matter if the program is minimized or close. I do have it running as a today screen plug in with spb pocket plus. Doesn't matter if installed on device or memory card. The preset alarms work however if the phone if off. Have an xv6700 running wm6 and using s2u2 as a locker.
I know this response is WAY late, but here's a couple of recommendations:
1) the easiest and most sure-fire solution is to set your power settings on the phone to never turn off the screen when external power is plugged in. Then, simply plug your phone in every night. This will never fail, but obviously has limitations.
2) in spb time, click "options" (bottom right), and on one of the tabs there is an option to "enable wake-up tweak." Check that box, and say ok. That is spb's solution. It worked sometimes for me, but not always.
3) since you use s2u2, you can have s2u2 keep power alive. s2u2 is at version 1.0 right now, so I can't speak for the older versions. In v1.0, there is an option to keep power alive (it's at the bottom of the preferences page).
4) get a custom rom. I don't know the policy on linking to other websites, so I won't, but there are a couple big forum sites where people make custom roms. I stopped having the alarm problem once I got a custom rom.
Hope this helps someone out there!
