ok the alarm clock on my telstra jasjam has lost the plot

if I set the alarm it goes off only sometimes yes volume is up thephone locks up
when it does go off the it goes of multipul times at once I get 4 alarms at once and have to dismiss each
I turned off alarms and they still sound I get woken up at 5 am even though I have turned alarm off and if I turn phone off it just goes off when I turn it on
is there a file where it stores the alarm settings that i can edit or a reg edit I can do
I installed alarmtoday(to try and clear alarms) and it shows a list of alarms all set at exactly the same time and i can't delete them
any help you can give would be great

search and run .. `checknotification` from scarybear(?)

Yeah mine woke me up new years morning, twice, I found removing the battery quite effective.
On a serious note, to stop it going off deselect the days, the check box does FA. Wonderful that the simplest things don't work on these bloody things.

me too on 8525
I finally quit using my alarm clock, and set a calendar reminder every day. I got tired of multiple alarms and lockups. I was leaving the phone on and then it would lock up a few minutes after the alarm went off.
pisses me off when the basic stuff I used to use on my harrier doesn't work on this darn thing. a2dp sux, lockups left and right. no cingular video...media player library problems, storage card wakeup issues, voicecommand issues...
hope aku3 with the rom update fixes some of this stuff. cingular says it will be out by feb 1st.

not able to deactivate the snapvue alarm

i have liberated my shift successfully.
i used the alarm on the snapvue side once. after that i have deactivated the alarm again.
but for some reason the alarm comes up every day, even the alarm is switched of in settings (snapvue) and settings (windows mobile).
anybody has a clue what could be the problem?
is there a registry setting i can change to disable the alarm?

Had the same problem.
Solved it by playing with all the three alarms somewhat. I think I switched them off and on.
Maybe i changed the times.
Sorry that I cannot remember what I did but it is solved now.will, of course never use it again.
It was the very first time I used it. Maybe that was the reason.
Huib

this happened to me while using only snapvue, no liberation pack no nothing. I fixed it only by a hard reset.

I had the problem too, with unmodified Snapvue. It was the first time that I had used an alarm. I remember Shagcontrol Snapvue reset not fixing it. But I think a Snapvue settings reset fixed it.
I haven't used alarms again so I don't know if it will be a problem again.

Had this problem on my Prophet.
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Clock\, You will see keys 0,1,2 - these are the three alarms you can set - delete the one that's causing you problems. If you don't know which one then delete all three. The alarms will be reset.

ehm, i've put the alarm to ring at 8 am during workdays to remind me to wake up and go to work. The alarm was working fine and I got to work in time, daily. But... last saturday I was free. And I was sleeping at 8 am. Damn thing begun to ring and make noise. That's a huge bug man, I woke up at 8 am and had a awfull long day.

Poss solution
This sort of thing used to happen with WM2003 on my XDA Orbit. I used an app called Wakeuptweak which solved the issues with the alarms. The sdame thing is happening to me with the Shift so I am going to give it a go and see if it helps. Will let you know the result.

Correction - it was on my XDA2 not Orbit. Silly me!

Alarm doesn't work properly

The whole point of setting the alarm is that you can just leave it and know that it will go off at the assigned day and time. Unfortunately, it is just not reliable at the moment. I have already been late for work once, and have gone back to using my WinMo phone for the alarm, as at least that works every time.
It does seem to be an Android issue, I have seen it mentioned on other forums for other handsets, but I want to track down exactly what might be causing it on the Hero, and if there is a work around until HTC/Android releases fix it.
First off, the screen is switched off, but the phone is stil powered on, just like any other phone when you have the alarm set.
When I got the phone on Thursday, I set the alarm for Monday through to Friday, 10.30am.
Friday morning, the phone wakes and the alarm goes off at 10.30. Fine.
Monday morning, nothing happens. Go into the settings, check alarm set for the correct time and day, all is fine, it just didnt go off.
Tuesday morning, it works fine, phone wakes and alarm goes off at 10.30.
Wednesday morning, nothing. WinMo phone alarm wakes me at 10.34. I switch on the Hero's screen, and immediately the alarm goes off, 4 minutes late!
Last night I didnt charge it, thinking it may be an issue when being charged. But this morning it didnt work, so it is not an charging issue.
The Alarm icon was showing the top corner, so the alarm was obviously set, and the Clock App was still running (I checked in Advanced Task Killer). I will try to set it again tonight from scratch, and see if that works.
Having to set it every night would be a pain, but at least it would actually work like it is supposed to.

I've got the same issue and was about to get late for work this very morning just because of it. Luckily me I've got some sleeping disorders so I woke up before the clock should have went of either way...
HTC Needs to fix the clock in their TouchFLO..

Got somewhat the same problem...
Could a hard reset help?

A hard reset didn't do the trick for me. I really need the alarm clock to work so I think I'll buy an alarm clock app on the market, but I shouldn't have to ...

If you are using taskiller or advanced task manager, make sure you exclude the clock app from killed processes. I had this problem, when the clock came back after being killed the alarm wouldn't work even though the icon was there. Excluding it fixed it.

Cheers Ewans, i was killing the clock process and it was this that stopped my alarm this morning. Made me late! Still, i forwarded my boss this link so he could read himself. (Not that he was mad. He's a great boss!)
We should maybe think about making a list of processes, what they do and what you can/can't kill.
For instance, i don't use the Twitter widget as i find the notification bar and having Peep on my home screen just as quick and less resourceful hungry. But if you kill Peep sitting in the background, it will stop any notifications, so this needs to be left alone.

Even if I don't kill it (noticed that too), it still fails to go off sometimes.

Yes, it is not totally obvious what is going on yet.
The fix (based on one days trial!) seems to just before I sleep to go into the clock app, disable the alarm, then immediately enable it again.
This results in the "Your alarm will sound in 7 hours 10 minutes" type message.
That worked this morning, the question is if I leave it alone now, and dont kill the clock app, will it still work tomorrow? And if I restart the phone, will the Clock app and then the alarm still be running or do I have have to go into the Clock App manually?
If my clock is showing on the home page, and the alarm icon is in the top bar, I expect the alarm to go off.
It should not be possible to kill the alarm process, it shouldnt be part of the clock app at all, but a separate background process with settings controlled by the clock app, but not reliant on the clock app running.

This is what I've found out.
When you program your alarm for multiple days, it only sounds the first day.
If you uncheck and check your alarm, it will go of the next day.
This is without using TasKiller or something similar and without resetting. (just did nothing)
It looks like the multiple day option is a fake and you will have to set it every day. Allthough I haven't tried out multiple alarms, thinking about seven alarms, but you'll have to reset at least once a week.
Good luck waking up

Alarm works fine for me now, I use one for weekdays that goes off everyday, and another just on Sundays at a different time. I'm using a standard G2.

Check out the alarm volume settings.
The alarm has its own volume setting which can be change when you are inside the clock app and select the ringtone for an alarm (by pressing the standard volume up/down keys).
By accident mine was set to lowest value so it didn't go off but just vibrated.

Ok, after a week of testing, it seems that if you dont bugger around with killing the clock app via Task Killer or something else, it is fine.
I havent yet seen whether it will still be set if I completely switch off and switch on again. I will try that tonight. Even though alarm icon is shown, will the alarm be set without me going into the Clock app explicitly?

Works for for me, 2 alarms set for 6:15 & 6:30am mon - fri, never had an issue.

Alarm Clock is ringing although on "off"

Hi all,
i have the Vodafone German Upgrade on WM 6.5, ROM 2.16.162.1.
Right after the upgrade i didn't have this problem.
I made this change:
HKLM\System\Shell\Notification\OEM\CustomUIDLL
Changed CustomUIDLL to CustomUIDLLX in order to be able to choose the normal Windows options 5, 10, 15, etc minutes, hour and day for notifications and alarm.
I don't know if this is connected at all, but i had to mention it.
The last couple of days i kept the alarm clock on "off". It still rings in the morning - and with TWO! different sounds at the same time! I can still dismiss it but it doesn't change the fact that it rings although set on "off".
Does anybody have an idea what the problem may be?
Thanks in advance!

So - tonight i dindn't leave the alarm clock "just" on "off". I (un)clicked all weekdays and set the clock to 0:00. Thus i put the alarm clock back to its "untouched" state before doing anything ti adjust the time and days of the alarms.
It still rang in the morning - ot 8:00 wit TWO different signals at the same time.
I am desperate.

Hi san.medius,
I had the same problem, Dinarsoft Memmaid
( http://www.dinarsoft.com/memmaid/ ) has cured it. Go to quick cleaner, advanced mode, tick all the four checkboxes associated with notifications. It worked for me, but I recommend a full backup before you do it, just to be sure. Pls drop a post if you tried it.

Alarm clock playing up?

Right, my alarm seems to be playing up on the HD2. I have the alarm set in the week only Monday - Friday.
As I don't work weekends, I turn the alarm off, and DID double check this last night. But this morning @ 3,40am the Alarm went off?
How is this possible, when I physically turn the alarm off? Getting really on my nerves now if im honest.

happens to me too, seems to come and go.....
hard reset wont resolve it either....
edit;
hard reset probably did resolve it but it occured again after reinstalling all the stuff that I deem "essential"
so its probably caused by something in there....
I really cant think of any link between what I have installed and the alarm function......

That's why I use the old free version of gAlarm still. Windows alarm is unreliable. gAlarm wakes me up every time I want it to, and never when I don't.
Since the old version that I have is freeware, but the app has since become payware, I'm not sure if I can post the cab.
If I can get confirmation from a mod, I'd be happy to attach it for you

I've no answer to this other than to use SPB Time,G-alarm or Klaxon
All 3 work just fine...

I solved the problem with a £3.99 clock radio

I have NO issues at all with the alarm, BUT I set it up using the control panel not via the Manila home page, It's not failed me in months, the snooze (every 5 minutes) works, and if I leave it on it repeats every 45 seconds until I get fed up with it (normaly between 3 and 7 times)
All three alarms work, and I can set a different alarm for each of the 3

I also suffer this problem, the alarm is unreliable.
I heard you can fix it by turning off sense and setting it in windows because these values would become out of sync, but have not tried.
Klaxon resulted in crashes for me, resulting in the alarm (an mp3 file) not going off.
Just be warned in advance.

There's another alarm bug thread here where it has been tested and confirmed that it's not a sense related issue. It's Windows.
It has been said that changing volume settings after setting your alarms has a big effect on whether the alarms will behave as expected, or go off at all.
Seems changing your volume after setting the alarms messes things up, and so does having pending appointments, as Windows will play your reminder right before the alarm goes off, messing things up too.
I'm gonna go ahead and post gAlarm v1.51 in a while,after my kids go to bed. If any mods/admin have a problem with it, I'll take it down. I think it should be ok, since that version is freeware
EDIT: Here ya go guys. Hope I'm not breaking any rules here.
You might need .netFW3.5 to install/run it.
