WM6 reminder annoyances--solutions?

[eriqcook]

Does anyone know is there is a way to make reminders sound only during peak (business) hours? Is there a 3rd party software solution to control the reminders in Windows Mobile better?

My problem is that I don't want to have to completely silent my phone each night before I go to bed, but I don't want reminders for appointment items sounding off at 3AM in the morning either. I know I can edit reminder settings for each individual calendar item, but it'd be much better (and easier) to just modify a global settings of sorts that silences reminders during non peak/business times.

And to make matters worse, I have the "repeat" option for reminders in the Sounds & Nofifications control panel UNCHECKED, but calendar item reminders still sound off every minute for 2 or 3 times unless I dismiss the item, and it's a bit annoying at times. I really wish there were I way to control this.

This would be a great request for the Windows mobile development team as well.

Take a look at PhoneWeaver. You can set a profile for nights that allows your phone to ring (if that is what you want), but reminders to act differently. I *think* the reminder will still sound, but you can select some soft .5" sound that you would never notice.

Cool. I'll check it out. Thanks for the quick response!
