Alarm Clock not sounding off

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?

Alarm Clock for my O2 XDA II Mini

Hello,
Playing around with the standard alarm clock on my PPC has led me to run late for several important meetings. From what I think what has happened is that i have set the alarm clock and it has not gone off. For some strange reason it doesnt go off when you want it but goes off when your in the middle of a phone call after the set time ! As an example, if i get a call 3 hours later, thats when it goes off.
Anyway, trying to turn the alarm off in the middle of a phone call is another nightmare. I have to put up with it until i soft reset the device.
So....out it goes !
In their wisdom, does anyone have any alternatives to the standard alarm clock ? I don't really want it to do anything fancy. Just go off when it is supposed to, have some better alarm tones, and maybe have a snooze feature for those times i want to get another 5 minutes sleep lol.

try using spb time... you can also use an mp3 as alarm tone

try the MortPlayer...

Even when doing this I am able to disable/turn-off the alarm!
When doing a soft-reset during boot the alarm occurs and there is no way to disable this ****!
(occurs since yesterday on my MDA Compact II / WM5 and this *** alarm clock drives me crazy)
Seems to be a "common" problem ... Is there a free utility to cleanup clock.exe notification queue...!?
M$, can't be serious that there is no M$-fix for this annoying bug! Hard-reset is no option!

Manila 2.5 and Alarm Clock

Hey,
I got a small issue with manila 2.5 and the notification enhancement. If you set the alarm clock and alarm starts ringing, but after a half sec it stops ringing because of the notification pop up. It comes up and kills the ringing. So the alarm clock does not really ring. Any ideas how to solve this issue?
Another thing is the new sensor sdk. If the new message client does rotate, the keyboard will be hidden. Is there somewhere a reg key for the automatic appearance of the keyboad?
thanks
Andy

You could set alarms from the start menu, it will then first give you the notification sound and after that it will make the sound you choose for the alarm

I have chosen an alarm sound...but the sound gots killed by the notification pop up of the notificatuib ehancement. This means at present, an real alarm is not possible with manila 2.5.

The way I described it I first go the notification sound and afterwards it made the alarmclock sound.

there's one simple work around, go to Sounds and Notifications>Reminders, untick everything except "Display Message on Screen"

Reminder problem

hello.my problem is:i set in "Notification Sounds" ringtone for "reminder".now when i set "alarm" on "on" ,so when after alarm ringing,so playing two ringtones together.them which i set on "reminder" and "alarm".everyone similar problem?thanx and sorry for my very very bad english

no one hasn't this problem?when ringing sound in alarm,playing melodies which i set in alarm and playing melodie which i set in reminder together crisscross

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly but I am having an issue which I have only just noticed this morning.
I set my alarms for work and I always use the snooze sound which wakes me up the best. This morning no snooze sound. When I tested the alarm I realised it was using the reminder sound which was set to a quiet alert sound. Changing the reminder sound in the settings also changes the alarm sound.
IS this what you mean?

So, I have similar problem regarding reminder but not the same.
I think it has a serious bug, and our problems connect somehow in the background.
1.) In some cases (I can not define the rule) there is only reminder sound, not alarm. It is absolutely strange because it is not loud enough to wake me up.
2.) First I have set up 3 schedules: 5:00, 5:30, 6:00 without description text.
After I have modified them to 5:00, 5:15, 5:30, and I have given names for they.
What happens? The reminder sounds 5 (!) times, at all of the above schedules, even at 5:30 2 times! It is really strange.
Of course, probably it can be cleaned based on the registry, but this is very dangerous. What will happen after the next modification?
Any idea to fix it?

richardirv:yes,this is it.when ringing alarm,leo playing two songs together.for alarm and for reminder...

Double sound in reminders & alarms
Yes you are right.
This has been present for a long time with WM6.5 and HTC Sense/Manila.
I am guessing it is because 2 systems are operating.
A workaround I use is to assign an unobtrusive sound to reminders in WM sounds & notifications, like alarm-high frequency and a different alarm sound.
I don't think there is a fix for this.

Reminder notifications: SOUND without VIBRATION not possible
Hi, I got excatly the same problem, two sound when the clock alarm is activated. I can stand with this... but today I have found even worse problem and I am totally disapointed this htc software...
So, when I setup calendar apointment, and create "Reminder notification" for this lets say 5 minutes before event, then of course I get a pop-up with: "delay" or "cancel" the event. But the problem is with SOUND and VIBRATION for this reminder event. Namely, I can not force the phone to make a "Reminder notification" sound ONLY, without vibration. When I go to: settings, sound and screen, reminder sounds, I can turn on switch for reminders. This is OK, then click on reminders to go in and here a problem: VIBRATION: OFF, ON, ONLY. When set up to OFF and confirm, the main switch for reminders is changed to OFF! So no sounds for reminders at all!!! When I switch it on again and go into reminders settings, and choose VIBRATION ON and confirm and go back, main switch stays on but this means that the only configuration which works is to have reminder events with VIBRATION AND SOUND... totally crap
can anybody investigate? Thanks in advance.

Reminder issue
Hi I'm also having an issue with the alarm function.
On Monday I set alarms for 5:00, 5:15 & 5:30 (just in case I get lazy and sleep in)
On Monday night I turn them off, but they still sound on Tuesday????
I spoke to HTC and they said I need to reflash the latest image, which is total rubbish and a common answer to every single problem you send them.
Is this the same issue?
Is there a fix?

my workaround is to only ever set/change settings for anything like alarms or reminders in the windows settings (settings menu all settings clocks and alarms or sounds and notifications)
using the manila pages (tap alarms on home page, or settings, sound and display) always screw things up.
it seems themanila pages arent correctly integrated, in that they don't correctly feed the settings back into the windows settings. also, they don't seem to use the same paths for sounds.
look at the available alarm sounds in manila alarms, and compare it to the available alarm sounds in windows clocks and alarms screen, and once you have set a sound for an alarm in winmob, have a look at the sound for that alarm in manila alarms.
i haven't seen this problem since i started only using win mo settings pages for setting alarms.
