Getting Support via CatLog

Sunday, April 10th, 2011

If you experience any problems with my apps Calendar Event Reminder or Email Widget please don’t hesitate to send me a mail with some desciption about it. In some cases it is important to get a deeper insight of your system in order to be able to analyze your problem. Therefore you can use the free app CatLog from the market. Just follow the link and install it just like any other app on your phone. After that please launch it and you can see a screen with your current system logging information.

Now please hit “Menu->Record” and “Ok” to start a logfile recording session and then reproduce your problem, i.e. a scheduled alarm not showing up or any other false behaviour. Then go back to CatLog and hit “Menu->Stop Recording” and “Menu->Send->As Attachment->Your favorite mail app i.e. GMail” and send it to me. You can find my email adress in the market description.

If you don’t succeed please get in contact through the comments below.

After you send me the logfile you can delete it by hitting “Menu->More->Manage Saved Logs->Delete All”.

Using your own sounds for alarms

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

Some users of my app calendar event reminder asked me how they can use custom sounds for notifications, alarms or ringtones. This can be easily done. Just create some folders on your sdcard and place your favourite mp3s in it:

  • /sdcard/media/alarms
  • /sdcard/media/notifications
  • /sdcard/media/ringtones

Android App: Calendar Event Reminder

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

This app adds a nagging and repeating reminder alarm for calendar events and extends the stock calendar application. You can customize the duration, repetitions, sound / vibration pattern and snooze buttons / logic. Works with every synced calendar.

When alarm / reminder goes off the device will be turned on and a popup window with information about the event (title, time, location) is displayed. Alarm / reminder can be disabled by clicking the dismiss and snoozed by the snooze buttons.

You can use simple buttons for snooze / dismiss or sliders which are similar to the lock screen. They can be used with Froyo or Gingerbread look & feel.

Touchdown not supported!
