Under Sounds & Notifications, when one selects "Reminders", there is a tick box called "Repeat".
Presumably this means that when an alarm sounds, it should repeat until dismissed. Mine only plays once. Am I missing something?

Hi there,
Mine's a XDA Exec, and it does repeat although it pauses for about a second or two first. Not nearly loud or persistent enough to be a really decent alarm clock though!
OK, so it seems that aeAlarmPlus is the way to go - looks for an alarm and then comes up afterwards to do a repeating/escalating thing of it's own. Works well.
hi there
ok if u talking about alarms then go to clocks & alamrs --- go to alarm tab then set the time whet ever u want to set then click on the "BELL" icon
there is the option to make it repeat and even u can chose the sound
HTH

Yeah, I am using it too.
My problem is that I cant kill the alarm. It gets repeating and I am getting more and more mad. Or is this on purpose ? as I have to wake up and tick the box of with the stylus....
Anybody has the same problem?

Playing with alarms may have been the reason why my calendar was not able any more to remind me.
When soft resetting even alarms of all kind made me mad.
I hard reset (horrible job with a lot of work to do) solved my problem, but I do not touch the alarm any more.
Hope your problem is different

i have the same problem. It goes off every time and repeats for a couple of times and I dont see any option to close/kill it.. good thing I still have te sense not to bang it against the wall like an alarm clock.
i guess if the built in alarm function is not working or it goes crazy, just use any other free alarm application. i know theres a lot of free application out there.
Hi Guys,
Has anyone else had this problem with the built-int alarm clock?
Sometimes it wakes the device up, displays the notification, flashes the led but does not play the sound!
I set the alarm to play sound, repeat, flash light.
It's a big problem for me, as I use my phone as my alarm clock!
I need to wake up!
same here, I have been trying to figure it out
x3, my alarm doesn't always wake up the device and play the sound. Sometimes it waits until I interact with the device until sounding the alarm.
I wonder if this has something to do with a recent discovery I made...
If you use SKTools and go to view the Notification queue, you will see MANY duplicate entries for WLMScheduler.
I just deleted 142 entries today!!
Basically it has 3 different event entries, but they get created again everytime WLMService starts, even if they already exist.
This pollution probably slows down the system significantly. Must be a coding oversight, as WLMService doesn't check if the events already exist.
So basically, everytime you restart your Touch you add 3 duplicate events to the Notifications queue!
This is something that shouldn't be happening, as the only way to solve the problem is to manually delete them with SKTools.
I will report the results now that I cleared all this garbage....
look up wakeup tweak or pocket alarm thweak. they eliminate these entries. i used wakeup tweak on my old ppc and 6600 and it worked. i'm testing it now on the touch.
Any updates on this? My alarm won't sound off if it's in sleep mode. I like to use my phone as an alarm for everything (including waking up) and just started reading about this problem. Anyone find a resolution?
Im struggling to solve a problem I have with my new phone...
I cant get the alarm to switch on!
Ive set it from the clock shortcut and double checked the setting...Ive also tried to set the alarm via the phone alarm program and that too does not go off.
The alarm notification under the clock never indicates that the alarm is set even though Ive set it correctly...
Im struggling to solve this issue and as Im new to the phone and Im unsure if Ive changed a setting unaware but from what I can tell it should work.
Am also having this problem and was just wondering if you have a fix for this yet?
Cheers.
Not quite the answer to your request..... but to be honest why bother with the built in alarm when you can get an excellent free alarm utility that does much, much more.
I use G-Alarm which you can download here.
ahem!
are you aware that on the alram menu, to activate an alarm, you have to check the square on left and to check also (they have to be greyed) the days when the alram occurs?
maybe this is your problem
on the other hand, integrated alarm is so limited.
much better to use 3rd party application
Hi ppl,

Have exact same problem, think there must be something related to the amount of time the phone has been in standby too, if I test an alarm, by setting it to go off in 10 mins for example, it works fine, left overnight, never works....
I had issues with the alarm after using Klaxxon and uninstalling it.
I am currently testing to try and get it working each time and seems to be ok.
I reinstalled Klaxxon ticked force remove windows alarms and intergrate applyed the changed and soft booted the phone.
I then started klaxxon again and remove both ticks and soft reset again.
I then used AlarmFixWM to remove duplicate entries from the notification queue.
Not 100% if this now works 100% but seems promising.
Im sure there is an easier way but the above its what I did.
Found this thread which seems to be related

Have installed SK tools, cleaned notification queue and set it to run cleanup auto in middle of night....
Alarm actually went off this morning...
Hardly conclusive, but gives me hope!
Odd, seems to be a longstanding WM2003/5/6/6.1 issue, not TD2 specific, but I moved to topaz from an artemis where I never had a single alarm problem... you would think if the artemis hardware could cope with my appointments list/alarms etc. then a topaz would be fine too...
P.
Alarm sounded again this morning
Happy Days...
Will post back here if problem reoccurs,
Otherwise, assume this has worked for me.

Hey popkid,
Any chance you could post exactly how to do this using SK tools? I cant seem to figure it out and I have this annoying alarm problem!!!
Cheers

1) Fire up SK Tools
2) Hit Tools (Bottom Right) --> Settings
3) 2nd Tab "Automation"
4) Toggle "Notifications Queue" to "Use in Auto Mode" if it isn't already
(Take a look through other run options to run and deselect them if you don't want them running automatically)
5) Toggle "Scheduled Run" to "Yes"
6) Set time/day/date etc. to run (Mine is set to run at 3.30am every day, probably overkill!)
7) Set "Silent Mode" to "Yes"
and you are good to go
Alternatively, to fix your Notifications Queue just once:
1) Fire up SK Tools
2) Category (Bottom Left) --> Maintenance
3) Select "Notifications Queue"
4) Action (Bottom Left) --> Mark Duplicates (should be a fair few if you are having alarm problems)
5) Action (Bottom Left) --> Delete Marked
Hope this helps, post back if not!
Good Luck

Thanks Pauly, ill see if G-alarm wakes me up in the morning!!
Dunno if you guys can help, i got Klaxon and alarm is fine, but if i snooze using shake then it never goes off again!
Can you show me your settings or give me any ideas?
My solution: Whatever alarm you have, install HTCPedia Topaz Setting Tool, go to Power Settings and set AC Resuming and Battery Resuming to 20 seconds, works EVERY DAY for me with Klaxxon.
That change made no difference when I was having my difficulties, think that gives the device longer to process your notifications queue if it is large, but if the notifications queue has other issues then it won't help.
P.
Edit: SFAIK Think G-Alarm changes both of these registry values to 120 seconds on installation, That is what they are set to on my TD2
they are located in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\ if you wish to edit directly,
"BattResumingSuspendTimeout" and "ACResumingSuspendTimeout"
But does that fix the snooze function?

doesn't sound like the same problem you have to be honest, the notifications queue stuff is related to the alarm never going off in the first place...
I'm not a klaxon user, but have had it installed in the past, are you sure that you don't have the light sensor alarm deactivation switched on or it set to switch the alarm off (rather than snooze) on shake?
P.
Thanks for replying mate, how would i know about the light sensor bit?

I thought there was an option in Klaxon itself to use the light sensor to deactivate the alarm when a light is switched on?
Ah... Ok... just checked Klaxon release docs and it seems that isn't implemented yet... so thats a red herring!
It does say though... flip phone over to snooze
and shake to deactivate
I'm guessing that whatever you are doing is triggering the deactivation rather than the snoozing....!
One way to check, if you enable the integration to TF3D in klaxon then the time noted for the next alarm on your front page should increment to the next alarm set once the alarm has been deactivated, but not if it is snoozed, I think anyway.
P.
hey, yeah sorry i turn it over! it used to work with stock rom i think .. do you know what each option does in klaxxon? might just try g-aram or something?

No, sorry not sure, guess there is some sort of sensitivity set somewhere where it determines whether you are shaking or just turning over, I used to use the turn over function in klaxon when I had it and it worked fine... in G-alarm I get what you describe btw the sensitivity is set such that when I turn it over it thinks I'm shaking it and deactivates, so that may not provide the fix you are after either... and G_alarm isn't free... if you hunt around, I'm sure there was another klaxon thread on here (possibly by the developer himself) that had some details of the sensitivity being changed between releases, may be a reg edit you can do to fine tune it?
Good Luck!

Ok thanks for your help fella!
What rom you running btw?

Does anyone have the issue of their alarm not showing up on the homescreen, even though it is turned on when you bring up the alarm setup screen? My alarm doesn't work, nor does it display, and when it says it is on. Does anyone have any insight, or fix to this problem. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
compare the alarms you set in htc with the alarm details in
settings menu all settings clocks and alarms
you may well find that one set has different alarm sound set, which may or may not even exist.
I have also seen winmo have problems with alarms if you leave the message box blank.
That unfortunately did not work, they both have matching "ringtones" and also the same description, but it doesn't show up. Any other suggestions?
in settings menu all settings sounds and notifications, notifications tab in the event drop down, select "reminders" and ensure show on screen is ticked.
oh and in clocks and alarms, alarms tab, make sure "sound even if phone is set to silent" is ticked (or words to that effect)
make sure the "S" for Saturday which is today is selected.

Yup, I too have the same prob, I had similar probs on MANILA 2D on my ELF too..!!!
I think there's some prob with the HTC Manla & Sense..!!!
The only solution is to download some ALARM APP like G-Alarm..!!!
Mine is working fine.

That answer was almost cute... almost.
Simple solution, ready...? G-Alarm. OR, OR, OR... SPB Time.
I have this same issue, and it is not a specific rom that this bug is in because I tried a few different ones and the problem still occurred. It seems like the alarm will only turn on if you set it for the next day. If you set it two days from now then it won't show up as it being on.
