Windows Mobile 2003 Tweaks - Wakeup Tweak

This utility allows you to "tune" the wakeup parameters of your Pocket PC, which may help stabilize alarms on your device.

For further information, please see the discussion on Tekguru.

Note that if you have previously installed the PowerStateOn patch, you must uninstall it first before installing Wakeup Tweak!

Wakeup Idle Timeout is a value used by the system when powering up from suspended mode.  The Wakeup Idle Timeout is the number of seconds that the system will spend in the resuming state until going back to sleep, unless it is brought to full power (by an application or an internal alarm).  If this value is too small, the unit may go back to sleep before finishing it's startup processes.

The recommended value for the Wakeup Idle Timeout both for when the unit is operating on battery power and when it is connected to AC power is 60 seconds.  The default is 15 seconds.

The "Always wake up PPC to full power mode" checkbox, when checked, will cause the Pocket PC to move rapidly to full power state when it is powered on.  This can be useful for applications which do not wake up the Pocket PC properly.  Please be warned that this may have an adverse affect on your battery since some applications, once active, can cause the Pocket PC to not go back to sleep once it is fully woken up.

Run Clock Cleanup launches the system cleanup application "clocknot.exe".  This application is part of the Windows Mobile 2003 operating system and is typically executed by the system once per week on a scheduled basis.

Run Calendar Cleanup launches the system cleanup application "calnot.exe".  This application is part of the Windows Mobile 2003 operating system and is typically executed by the system once per week on a scheduled basis.

  • Download the Wakeup Tweak Installer
  • Note that if you have previously installed the PowerStateOn patch, you must uninstall it first before installing Wakeup Tweak!
