Timer stops when device switches into suspend-mode!!??

[BehindA]

Hi,
i'm working on an alarm clock...
How can i prevent my device from switching into suspend-mode??

I use a Timer to check if the Alarm-Time is already reached. But all Timers stop when the device is in suspend mode.
When i use the gpsdriver and add gps.open all do not stop running.

Is it possible to keep the timers running without opening the gps???

In the Hardware library you have the KeepAlive function.

Best regards.

I know this function,
but i don't want to prevent the device from suspending. I want the programm to run in the background and start an alarm at a certain time!

so what can i do??

You still use the Hardware library; but you use RunAppAtTime.

but is there no method like runfunctionattime?
run appattime is not an optimum for my alarm clock program

No. You will have to run another application.
Also note that not all devices fully support these function. Some will be partially waken with the screen turned off.
