I am continuing to have problems with the built in alarms on my xda exec. I initially had problems with the alarm not switching off which sorted itself although I am not sure how, and all was well for a time. Now when my alarm sounds it vibrates once but doesn' sound the alarm. I have pocketzen phone so have tried with this off but no success. My sounds and notifications are all ticked.
Does anyone have any ideas what else I could try?
Also does anyone know of any 3rd party alarm, pref freeware, which I can try instead?
I have the same experiences w/ my Dopod 900

Sometimes, my default android alarm just doesn't ring in the morning, even though i'm sure it is supposed to ring..
The screen just turns on at the alarm time, giving me an option of snooze or dismiss, but there is no sound or vibrate notification at all.
I've googled it up, and seems like a ton of ppl are having this issue.
Anyone here know a quick fix regarding this? thanks!

I found that the stock sounds were too short to wake me up so I downloaded a new clock app for free called digital clock. It has worked great for the last week I have been using it
change time zone
I have the same problem until i change the timezone to the correct one, then it worked for me.
I had this problem with my Rogers Magic also -
When you're inside the "choose an alarm sound" menu and scrolling through the list,
if you press the volume buttons on the side of the phone then you can manually adjust
the alarm sound (mine was set to 0). Not sure what causes it to set to zero,
presumably when you take the phone off silent mode it sometimes fails to update the
alarm as well? This still needs looking at because it means the alarm volume resets
to zero of its own accord, but it can at least be managed by manual readjustment.
Hope this helps!
P.S. It might also be worth noting that when I was having this problem, no
third-party alarm apps would play the stock alarm sounds either.

lol I had this problem way back in my g1 days. I've tried everything from not closing the app from not allowing the phone to sleep. It seems to work at
random. This bug never seems to have been addressed with any updates or in the roms. I just use my alarm clock, its a hell of a lot more reliable. If you travel just get one of those clam shell clocks like my dad uses haha.

That's it right there.
I have a problem. I use my phone as an alarm to wake me up for work.
I have set the alarm and checked it, and it works when the screen is on. But when the screen times out, the alarm doesn't start.
Anyone have this problem and know how to solve it?
My sister has the same problem with hers, anyone got a fix? :S
Hi,
I had the same problem, you solve it going to alarm setting and increasing the volume up to max... this seems to solve the issue.
I've got the same problem but only when there is not the phone sim inside.
I have this problem too. I solve it by shutdown the tattoo and then start it.
happens to mine too, I have to set it as "stay awake" so the alarms will work porperly =.=
I used to have this problem before which gets resolved by restarting.
However, I was using Astro as a task killing program which caused the error even after putting the clock on the ignore list.
Actually, using Taskiller solved the issue.
Assuming its not a taks manager thing...
On the Tattoo (and Android), there are quite a number of volume controls compared to a normal phone. Ringer is handled seperate from Alarm, then there is also Notifications, System....
I had this problem (a silent alarm), and so have a number of others. Some combination of apps turn down the alarm volume. But there is a simple way to solve it.
Instal Audio Manager from the market. This lets you see all the different settings. You will probably see the alarm turned down to 0. Turn it up and the alarm works. It also has a widget so you can keep an eye on the different volumes.
I did worry that I would have to check the alarm volume every night, but actually it seems I don't have to -- not sure why, but the alarm is very seldom at 0 now.

i had this problem once - after using task killer and the default kill tasks function - dont think the ignore list works that well
ignore the clock process and deactivate update clock at network
I stopped using ATK, and the alarms works just fine right now.

I agree - ive had one issue with the alarm after using tk - dont bother with task killing anymore - its overrated!!
Has anyone had the problem where the alarm on the alarm clock rings a single time and them stops ringing?
I have the checkbox in the control panel checked for repeat sound yet it seems to have started only ringing once (which is really annoying if you're a heavy sleeper).
Any help would be appreciated.
Yeah, I have that too. The only thing I've found it to be sure your reminders are on and it will remind you in a few minutes that you missed your alarm. Unfortunately the reminder tone will play at the end of your alarm tone as well so I picked a reminder that sounds OK with my alarm....
Hopefully someone will have a better solution.
p.s. I've noted that if attached to external power the alarm will repeat but if not, it won't. Seems it sleeps right after the alarm if alarm sounds when screen is locked and won't wake to continue the alarm.....
I suspected it was a power saving method but it's a pretty lousy method if it breaks the primary usage.
I decided to install a 3rd party alarm clock called Klaxon. It's free and it works great.
Hey guys, I need help...
Alarm on my Topaz doesn't ring when it is in stand by mode, it only light up screen and that's all.
Please help!
What have you done?
It always ring, and now stop ringing??? or what. Did you delete the sound file?
Is the phone in silent mode?
It always ring in stand by mode... now not. I have alarm sound. Phone is not in silent mode. And when i am doing something on phone, it rings. Only in stand by mode it doesn't ring.
Its a common issue for WM not to wake from Standby.
Try an alternative alarm program such as GAlarm or I have enclosed a basic Alarm ap which is supposed to wake from standby but I have not tested it yet.
Thanks for reply.
Is there any solution for this issue, or my only chance is to use third party app?
I have not found a solution other than 3rd party app.
Seems like all the power settings, tweaks etc. people have tried are not very consistent.
So I have an alarm set every morning for work. I also use the do not disturb quick launch. Well for whatever reason every time I use do not disturb it turns off the alarm even though I have it set for alarms only mode. Anybody else having this issue?? Or and I just doing something wrong.
Alarms Only mutes only alarms. Try Priority.
