Hi there,
Really hoping someone can help me with this rather odd problem..!
My M600 alarm has started sounding at 5:30am every morning, All though no alrams are currently set on the device... I have unticked all alarms, changed the time on the alarm but still it sounds, I need my sleep, has anyone else had this problem? Dont really want to do a hard reset
Thanks

The forum, you search.
For `alarm` you will, and a solution you'll find.
Sorry if im being stupid..... The only posts i can find point to installing a thrid party application, which i wouldnt mind doing its just that i need to get rid of this alarm sounding at 5:30 to keep my sainity!
Am i missing something?
Cheers
Download Memmaid and find the notification for the alarm that is going off and then delete it. This should take care of your problem. I had the same thing going on and this was a straight approach to effectively removing the phantom alarm.
Hmm. . specific I need to be.
This thread you go. 3rd post you read.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50062&highlight=alarm
`CheckNotifications` free-program you install.
Problematic notification on your specific time you look for. Kill it you will.
I need some help, every single time I receive a phone call while my phone is locked, the first half of the ring is just a black screen and vibrating, regardless if the sound is on or not, the second half of the ring shows the picture for a second and during that second it starts playing the default ringtone, even though I have my contacts programmed with their own ringtone. Also, when I try to answer the call I am never successful and I miss the call every time. However, when the phone is not locked I receive my phone calls exactly as I should. The ringer that is programmed to each contact is played, it shows the picture right away. Can anyone help me? Please.

HELP
I have the same problem. The phone rings, and I cant pick up the call. End up with lots of missed calls
I have so far reset to factory defaults a couple of times, and the only app I have installed is Linda File Manager from the Market.
My G1 has a RC9 stock from TMo and I am using it with a Vodafone sim..
Can someone please help?
thanks

Hmmmm
I don't know what causes it...I think that we all are experiencing it. It hasn't happened all that much since I installed Lock 2.0 and had it shut off the system lock.
well that may be true, however ive factory reset several times since installing lock 2.0 and i still have this problem
YA that happens to me sometimes to
So with this bug is your phone rooted or not. The reason I ask is because mine is and it happens to me all the time I've reflashed to rc29 and done the process over again and I was planing on just going to stock rc33 but if its an issuse with both I don't want to
Happens to me too ... I'm rooted RC9.
Was happening to me until I did a wipe. I, too, am rooted.
Same thing here, rooted RC33 JF1.42. The first thing I suspected was any/all of the alternative home apps. I haven't seen tested any of them enough, nor the default Home app, so I can't lay blame yet. I suppose it could be the rooted firmware, but I'm more suspicious of these alternate home apps first.
I have the stock rc33
I had problems where it wouldn't recognize indivial ringtones for contacts until I removed weatherbug.
:S
I cant believe this is happening.
I will most likely sell this phone then, as I dont have any use for a phone that I cant pick up phone calls with!
In the meantime my phone bill is sky rocketing as I have to call everyone back.
I simply cant justify spending so much for a phone that.. well.. doesnt work.
I thought Android was finally what I wanted in a phone OS, but obviously is NOT. Will have to go back to reliable WinMo :S
Yea my phone is havin that same problem and it's rooted too... but my friend has one thats not rooted and hers does the same thing so i dont think it has anythin to do with the phone bein modded...
not rooted

mine is not rooted, and it does that even fresh out of factory reset.
was thinking of getting the G2 but after this I m afraid I will stick it to the android.
very disappointing.
It has nothing to do with weatherbug, I've just tested it without weatherbug installed, same result, guess well just have to wait for the next update in a month or so, til then... don't lock ur phone
I have this problem TOO!!! I'm very very disappointed. I didn't seem to have this problem in the beginning but when I installed the jf1.42 rc 33 it started hapenning. Hmm I don't know. Maybe it's better to go back to stock rom and see if it works better.
Using Enom's or Cy's ROM...(with the Nextheme and Goodies)...the alarm doesn't go off at 530am!
Anybody know if it's the ROM itself or the Theme+Goodies? Or do I need to experiment myself? (I've experimented with setting the alarm to go off an hour after I set it....it worked...but not sure if it worked because I was playing with the phone at the time)
All I get when I wake up is the trackball blinking. I've read somewhere that the alarm turns itself off after an hour...but I wake up around 5 minutes after the alarm was supposed to have gone on.
Good thing I used a backup alarm...otherwise I'd be in deep Sh------------it!
My alarm didn't go off today, but did yesterday. I have the clock as ignore in my task killer.
What I have found is that my ringtones somehow get lost on the SD card and not played. I am not sure what is happening!!!
Not cool though.

If you use any sort of task killing application and do not ignore or exclude the clock, it will kill it, and your alarm along with it.
Problem is that I ignore the Clock.
But when I go to check the Alarm Ringtone, and press play, it doesn't play anything, just a VERY LOW beep. Worked yesterday, nothing today.
Very odd!!

I like to push the audio files to the system and into it's corresponding folder. Maybe you can try that.
For me...I totally forgot about task manager! I never thought of it because the Alarm Icon is always displayed on the notification bar next to the time...whether the clock is killed or not. I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning after I exclude the clock app from being killed.
Kind of makes me wish the Android 'stole' some stuff from the Blackberry.
Can you explain that a bit more? How would I do that?
Will Astro work?
I honestly think it is an SD issue and yes, I never had that problem with my blackberry. They keep the ringtones on the system memory and you never have to worry about it.

I'm guessing that it will only work with a rooted phone. (Mine is) This is what I use. Root Explorer. I take the files from the SD card and move it into the system/media/audio/alarms directory.
Not sure if Astro is able to access the root of the phone. Otherwise I guess you can use
adb push alarmfilename.mp3 /system/media/audio/alarms
Either way you do it...reboot the phone.
Got it, and done, thanks.
Will see if this works.
Hello,
there is a small bug that many users may not have noticed in EC05. When I want to set a custom ringtone for a contact with a custom sound, it force closes and says android.acore.process is not responding.
Can someone fix this?
Thanks
The way to replicate this bug is to go on contacts, select a contact, edit contact, set a custom ringtone, and press sound. It will force close.
Sounds like you got some bad data...
mine works perfect...
No crash for me. Do you have the MyFiles app removed?
JPhantom95 said:

i have that removed and mine has always had that removed and mine always has worked
i think he needs to wipe the contacts data...
Goto: Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Contacts/Clear Data..
As long as you have them synced with google you shouldnt have to worry about if they get deleted...
Edit:
Just saw how to replicate it, and yes it does fc, a simple way to avoid this is too not click sounds and click ringtones instead...

Does the FC error happen with your mp3 sound files or all of your sound files. I personally use .ogg sound files and I have zero issues. I was having FC issues with some mp3 files especially if they are larger mp3 files.

It doesnt have to do with the sound files it has to do with the option sounds in contact custom ringtone, it force closes, like i said if u dont push it and push ringtones instead u are set for what ever files u please..
Sounds like you deleted drm files
Sent from Snarf high on SRF 1.02 till freezes are fixed
Try recreating my scenario and tell me what you discover.

I just copied a mp3 file into my media/audio/ringtone and I played it with my settings/sounds/Voice call ringtone and I always get this error message [Activity Android System (in process Settings) is not responding] it will play the music but afterward you can not play another file after it, instead your phone will temporary lock up and then the following error message will appear [Activity Android System (in process Settings) is not responding]. I can not afford for my phone to lock up because during a phone call because I use my phone to help me pay my bill and not as a toy. If my phone locks up my client will us call the next person in line.
P.S. Are you trying this or are you going by what android should do?
I am using the Midnight Rom 5.2 Standard Edition and my DRM files are frozen with Titanium Backup.
I just unfroze the DRM and I still get the same error message. All I my ogg files work perfectly find only that one mp3 file freezes my phone why is that?

Please try select a file after your MP file.

I can do that now try selecting another file after that file and see what happens. All I am trying to do is get to the truth of the matter. Is this problem with just my phone or other phones too. I want my phone to play the MP3 ring tone and then afterward do something else. Not have my phone play the ring tone and then lock up afterward.
My phone plays mp3's as ring tones but, it locks up afterward making the notification useless because when my phone does unfreeze the phone stops ring tone and I can not receive the phone call.
I want to play mp3 files as ring tones but having my phone perform at it's optimal level is more important to me than a cute ring tone especially if I can convert the mp3 file into a smaller ogg file anyways. I just lose the sound quality put gain a phone that is 100% reliable.
If this is a problem maybe the developers can fix it and make it more stable.
Every time I open the clock app and try to set an alarm the app crashes. It freezes and the just says "Clock has stopped". I´ve tried to clear cache and restarted the phone twice, still doesn't work.
Anyone else having the same problem and have a solution for it?
Thanks!

Nope, have not tried that! I'm having some other problems with my phone right now (smearing) and will probably go and try to change the phone.
Still very thankful if anyone has any tips on how solve this problem!
same problem here
and i surely don't want to wipe
got any solution?
Not a solution but it is worth cleaning all the alarms setup (if there are any).
Going to settings/More/Date and Time and changing the auto time on/off, time zone on/off and the other settings. I.e. just changing everything to manual or to auto dependant on your current settings to see if that helps reset something.
Worth a try before a reset at least.
Battery out for a min and restart too maybe?
I did a factory reset a couple of hours ago. When I first started the clock app worked like a charm, and I thought everything was back to normal. BUT!
When I changed the ringt one to one of my mp3s on the phone (selecting via settings and then ES File Explorer) the clock problem started again! When I try to change ring tone again back to one of Androids, the green android-guy under ring tone, the phone stops and a pop up that says "The process android.process.media has been stopped" shows up.
I have no idea how to "undo" it again. Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do? Just re-installed like 80 apps and set my phone back to normal again, and changing my ring tone was like the last thing, and that just F'ed everything up.
It doesn't bother me That much since I can use another ring tone and set my alarms with the "AlarmClock Plus"-app. But it's still anyoing as hell and I would really like to solve it!

***UPDATE***
Got it to work by having my Mp3-song selected as ring tone, and then move it to another folder. Both the clock and the ring tone-changer works fine now.
Now I just need to come up with a way to ge my ring tone back
EDIT: I solved it by making my Mp3-file into a Wav-file. Don't know if it's just that file or all Mp3-files. Cased closed for my problem at least, woho!

This trick of moving the bad ringtones to another folder worked and saved me tons of work if I had to factory reset the thing. One small addendum, after moving the files I had to clear data and cache for the clock app before it allowed me to create or edit an alarm again.

This part didn't work for me. My own ringtones were .ogg files and even when I converted them to .wav files, both the clock app and the android ringtone selector kept crashing. I set my own ringtones using the ES File Explorer too, maybe, just maybe something went wrong there or maybe the files were simply too big in size. I don't know.
However, I did solve my problem in the following way:
1) having root access is necessary for this method to work
2) using a root-enabled file explorer or using a root-enabled terminal to copy your own ringtones to /system/media/audio/ringtones, /system/media/audio/notifications or /system/media/audio/alarms respectively.
3) chmod 644 for these new files (not sure if this is really needed, but I guess it can't hurt)
4) reboot the phone (absolutely necessary as apparently it loads all available sound files at boot time only)
5) set your ringtones for any apps using the android ringtone selector. Your own ringtones should now appear in this list.

Wow thanks that worked. ... nice...!!!! Thanks +1
I had the same issues. In my opinion "ES Browser" was the reason for this bug. To fix it, i removed "media storage"-app. After a few reboots all libraries (Pictures, Music...) got filled again.
Clock and ringtone now working again.
I Know its an old thread, but i was having trouble with my Galaxy s6 clock.
I solved the Problem by changing the theme. Propably it will work for you aswell
