Is there any way of making the Palm "ignore me" so that it does not reset the auto off time, or at least be able to read how long it is to the auto off time and adjust this value accordingly. I assumed that by setting purgeAlarm to true that nothing would get upset.
Perhaps this will help. From the reference docs regarding procedure alarms:
"Procedure alarms also differ from regular system alarms in that if they trigger when the device is in sleep mode, the LCD does not light up. Thus, you can use procedure alarms to perform a scheduled task in a manner that is entirely hidden from the user."
In my experience, they don't work that way on _all_ devices, but on most.
