My Uni was synced to my PC via USB cable when a Reminder came up. I clicked "Dismiss" in Outlook's popup window, thinking it would automatically dismiss the reminder from the phone as well (like it usually does).
However, to my annoyance, IT KEPT ON RINGING! I picked up the phone to switch off the reminder manually, but, to my amazement, it wasn't there anymore! The phone kept playing an alarm sound for a reminder that had already been dismissed!!
Two soft-resets later and it's still playing! Is there any way to switch the damn thing off without a hard reset? Just installed a bunchload of new apps on it, don't want to have to go through it again....
I have the same problem with my Dash. I set an alarm for 8:40pm. The alarm went off, I turned off the alarm and even changed the alarm to a different time. Every day the alarm goes off at 8:40pm. its crazy!
Does anyone know if there is a way to make the backlight stay on while charging. And also keep the phone from locking while charging. I think keeping it from locking would allow the alarm clock to actually wake me up, it shuts off when the screen turns off which is quick when its locked
Under power settings > advanced > uncheck both boxes under "On External Power"

The alarm should work when the phone is locked, I use mine this way all week for work just fine.
Ok thanks got the backlight to stay on. But when the alarm is set it only goes off for about five seconds and the sound shuts off and then displays a message

The Snooze/Dismiss message? What do you have set as the alarm? Is it a short tone or something a little longer?
Here's a good tip for using your phone as an alarm clock.
Set your alarm normally.
Go into power mode and uncheck the box to turn off the device after X time when plugged in.
Leave the turn off backlight box checked and set for 2 minutes when plugged in.
Now once you turn the screen on and the phone is plugged in, after 2 minutes the screen will dim way down and stay on all night making it a great alarm clock. I used an automotive cell phone holder to make the perfect cradle for holding it upright and at a perfect viewing angle. After owning a BB Storm, I just couldn't NOT have this capability... you get spoiled.
This works great.
Every night I leave my phone on to charge when I go to sleep, and the alarm never seems to sound.
Luckily its not the only thing I have to wake me up so it doesn't cause much trouble but its still annoying.
When I do wake up the alarm dialogue has appeared on screen, but that's it.
What gives?
System volume up high enough?
Alerts volume switched on?
You had the phone in airport mode or fully switched-on?
I had the same this morning, been using the alarm for 2 weeks, no problems. This morning screen lit up then phone froze. reset button didn't cure it, battery out did
This won't happen too many more times before it gets launched back to O2

Hei!
A question!
Is Touch2 alarm clock working when phone is shuted down?
I have with that a problem. When I shut phone down, then it wont wake up me (doesent work), is it normal or is the phone broken?
Mine is also not working
My alarm also does not sound when the phone is shutted down. I think it is normal.
Go to start/settings/clock-alarm settings and choose tab "more"...there you can select the alarm to sound even when phone is switched off or on vibrate.....
This does not work when the phone is shutted down ofcourse.....
If you shut down your phone, i.e. turn it off - No Windows mobile will sound the alarm, not just Touch2 . Well people give reasons like this acts like a 'Computer' (PPC) - But I still find it funny and annoying.
Hi,
I have problem with alarm. I have setup 3 alarms. All are from monday to friday.
1. 5:45
2. 6:00
3. 6:15
So at 5:45 start ringing and swipe DOWN do not turn off alarm. I can't silence alarm, only way to do this is if I turn off phone. This hass happen on stock ROM, now when I have rooted rom and Im wipe all data is same.
Have someone similar problem? How can I fix it?
Thanks for any help.
why 3 alarms? You can set the option of longer snooze if u whish. you can also set the behavior of side buttuns during alarm.
Btw. I dont have any issues with turning off the alarm.

Please detail the actual behaviour and expected behaviour clearly.
It sounds like you are expecting, upon turning off the first alarm, the other 2 will turn off as well. Even if you untick/retick they will say "Alarm sounds in 15 minutes" (or the equiv.).

It is simple. At 5:45 start alarm beeping and I can't turn it off. I swipe down on screen to dismiss it but it do not stop producing sound. Only way to stop sound is turning off phone. I don't want when I "stop" first alarm that other two is stopped to, for this I can use snooze...
Im fix problem:
-Delete all alarms in STOCK Alarm clock
-Download: Better Alarm Clock
-Setup same alarms
And today on morning Im get dialog with dismiss and snooze button and Im normaly stop alarm...
me too
Sync yesterday I have exactly the same problem: can't turn off/snooze/silence the first alarm and I have to turn off the phone to stop the sound.
I'll root the device this weekend, I hope that will fix it.

I currently use rooted ROM and is same so is not fix issue...
turn it upside down
I just use 1 alarm, when it goes off i turn the phone on its belly and its stops for x minutes. When I get up (turning it a few times) I turn it off...
I guess it is a BUG:
1. setup your phone for alarm
2. before the alarm started to be ringing, turn on the screen (wake it up by pushing the top button)
3. when the alarm starts to ring, drag down the slide button
4. enjoy the ring for ever )))
Reason:
when the alarm activated and starts to ring the sense not updated fast enough the slide down button. therefore the sense just "thinks" you want to unclock the screen, instead of adding the function next to it to dismiss the alarm
Had this happen to me this morning. Got an sms just before the alarm went off. After closing the sms box there was no way to stop the alarm, had to restart the phone. Very annoying.

I do the same with alarm, and this problem don't appear on my Desire.
Alaram Bug
I to am facing the same issue, is there any fix for this?
Happened to me this morning too, anyone knows if it works better with third party alarm installed?
I received an sms, handcent installed, coming back from bathroom it was ringing for about 15 minutes. I removed the battery...
That sounds like a pain in the butt . No idea of a fix but there are plenty of 3rd party alarms out there with much better functions than the standard alarm. better alarm clock , alarm clock xtreme and alarm clock pro v2 to name but a few .. they also have options to set a math question on wake so no need for 3 alarms a day plus can set lots of alarms with different times for different days . i use alarm clock pro and it removes the lock screen altogether wakes with the phone on main screen so shouldn't end up facing the lock screen bug!
There's an appbrain link to 2 alarms in my thread link in sig
had this problem once
switched to gentle alarm and fixed the problem
I have this same issue. About half the time, if the phone is in use in some form and the alarm goes off, there is no way to turn it off. Occasionally I get the snooze/dismiss option, but more often than not I end up having to shut the phone down to make it stop.
Would love to try any suggestions!
