Default Re: Ipaq 3870 Reminder Alarms

This issue was not a problem 2-3 months ago...I'm guessing here but before the updated ROM and PCC2002 EUU updates. In every other way the Ipaq works just the way I want it to. Any help regarding this matter would be greatfully received. Thanks.
I occasionally get the same problem on my 3870, too. I haven't figured out any pattern.

However, you say you get the alarm message, but only hear the sound when you power your iPAQ on. If your iPAQ is off, how do you know you're getting the message? Maybe the message only pops up when you turn the Pocket PC on, just like the sound.
