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, I have this strange experience with my alarms, eventhough i havent set any alarms to my clock setting, my phones keeps on alarming, anyone please help me how to get rid of this? thanks...
Hello,
Did you check if its an Alarm of a task reminder or Appointments? Does the notification window display only Alarm or any other message associated with it?

I had bad experience with the alarm clock too. In fact, I am looking for a good alarm program.
Sometimes, even after you have deleted the alarm entry, the alarm would still goes off!
Other times, you get double alarmed for the same entry.
One way to reproduce this problem is to mess with the "Visiting" time.
Good luck!

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!!!

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!

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.
I am currently using HTC's default alarm app, but I'm finding the alarm tone won't repeat and it will only ring out once, for say 3-4 seconds, and none of the tones seem to be any longer.
This is an issue for a heavy sleeper like me as I can often sleep though this and I'm partial to the odd snooze so there might 3 or 4 chances for me to do this! .
Anyone found a way to keep the alarm ringing out (repeating) till I turn it off. I'm using Dutty's ROM so I I'm not sure whether this is just a quirk of his ROM or just a crap alarm from HTC.
Help or reccomendations of good alarm apps welcome!
its not the rom, its the crappy alarm from windows mobile.. really useless imo.
i use the app G-Alarm that works great
(link)
the main thing i have found since using 6.5.x build roms is that the repeat problem no longer occurs. It repeats until you stop it.
One suggestion i can offer is to forget about setting up the alarms through the htc alarms tab, do them direct into settings - menu - all settings - clocks and alarms.
you will find 1 - there are more alarm sounds available, (which tells me the HTC alarms tab isn't working exactly the same as the system one)
and
2 - the HTC alarms tab will copy what you put in the system alarms screen, BUT setting directly into the HTC alarms doesnt always copy through to the system alarms tab.
I also use G-alarm, its great. But here is a free one thats looks like G-alarm

I have "Alarm-Light" selected as my alarm tone, and the thing doesn't shut up until I've stopped it.
Hello, so I've been encountering this issue for about a week. Apparently my phone's thinking an alarm was set (thus giving icon on status bar and info on the quick settings), but that alarm clock was never set (at least by me). That alarm also never rings because every around 2 minutes it adds the time (or "snoozes") for 15 minutes. Example: It's 4:30, then that alarm will set to 4:45. But on 4:35, that alarm will change the set time to 4:50.
It's so damn weird that I can't figure out what's wrong. I've tried restarting, force stop alarm app and clear data. I'm running Android Pie with latest March 5 security update.
Is there any way to remove that alarm? Frankly, it does nothing bad, but it's really annoying to see alarm icon but I don't set it. Any help or assist will be super appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Facing Same Issue
Even I am facing the same issue and it's weird as hell and irritating too. Can someone help in it
Connect phone to the PC and type this command
Code:
adb shell dumpsys alarm
You will see all the alarms and which app set them. You can consult this page for more detailed explanation https://stackoverflow.com/questions...-shell-dumpsys-alarm-output/31600886#31600886
