Happy Holidays: Heads-Up on Alarms and Battery Drain Thanks, doogie. Until I re-read this I'd forgotten that I could be in trouble if I deleted Dabney Coleman's birthday from the calendar. (Which IS January 3rd, btw.)

Happy Holidays: Heads-Up on Alarms and Battery Drain For everyone that wants the "official" word on what exactly the bug is, who it affects, and what you need to do, here's a link (thanks to Maceyr, who posted it on her website, which is where I found it.) Link from Palm Knowledge Base #26450 This problem DOES affect the Tungsten E2, despite Palm's not listing it on the link. Dick Tracy has indicated that the TX is similarly affected. Frankly, it annoys me that Palm has told us all about this problem for three years but hasn't actually fixed the bug. Any why Dabney Coleman? Whatever did he do to deserve this?
Happy Holidays: Heads-Up on Alarms and Battery Drain Unreserved apologies.
Happy Holidays: Heads-Up on Alarms and Battery Drain I am giving up ... Can we please keep this thread on topic for the reasons mentioned way back ? Please ?
Happy Holidays: Heads-Up on Alarms and Battery Drain Hmm. Point taken. But I still refuse to believe that DB6 can work the inner and the outer thighs both together so that your workout takes half the time.
Happy Holidays: Heads-Up on Alarms and Battery Drain Thanks for the DB6 workaround information.
Happy Holidays: Heads-Up on Alarms and Battery Drain Not at all. Just responding to DT's remark on DB6. Since the built-in applications are still on your device and since DB6 works with the default databases it is possible the problem still occurs for people working with DB6. Those people might (falsely) assume this problem is NOT relevant to them, but it is. FWIW: I NEVER had this problem for the reasons mentioned earlier (I worked around the issue if you want)
Happy Holidays: Heads-Up on Alarms and Battery Drain Have I just walked into an infomercial again? Should I be endorsing anything? Where's Brenda DyGraf and Jack LaLanne?
Happy Holidays: Heads-Up on Alarms and Battery Drain To my knowledge, DB6 ITSELF does not have this problem BUT ... DB6 uses the same Calendar and Contacts databases, so the built-in Calendar and Contacts will still pick up this problem (last time this happened, TX was affected as well, just found back a post on the yahoo group indicating this). I don't use Birthday from Contacts (use annual repeat in DB6, much more powerful), I do not use reminders on it either (I use DB6-advance floats, much more powerful and not affected by this bug )
Happy Holidays: Heads-Up on Alarms and Battery Drain As best I can understand there is a bug or limitation in Alarms that is unable to span calendar years, triggering notification loop. Have not done extensive searching but suspect this is limited to devices with extended PIMs and may have relation to hooks to legacy PIMs. As I no longer have OS4 or prior models in-hand not able to test this theory. Wonder if CESD has a work-around in Datebk6. Disclaimer: last time DT coded or debugged anything was pre-Zoomer.
