Hello everyone !
I bought a HTC leo last week (such an amazing smartphone Oo), but, I have a small problem with it !
So, after setting up the alarm clock (Sound = Alarm-Snooze), when it comes the time, it doesn't do the right sound, but it does the sound of a simple reminder !!! That's a bit annoying... Such sound is not enought to wake me up xD
I have also another problem, when I set "Emit alarm when the phone is in vib/silencious mode" (sorry for the bad translation, but I've got my phone in French ^^'), it doesn't work !!!! Which is also annoying, because, when I sleep, my phone is in vib mode.
So, to resume, two problems :
- Setting a sound for the alarm doesn't work
- Setting "Emit alarm when the phone is in vib/silencious mode" doesn't work
How can I solve those problems ?
Thanks !
PS : Sorry for the bad English ~~
I would like to find a permanent fix for this as it's now annoying me BUT what I have found is that if you go into the sound settings area and leave it in normal but just turn down the phone volume leaving the system sounds turned on/up you will then get the notification tone followed by the alarm tone you select.
Highly annoying that your notification tone is played when you choose a different alarm tone though. also a big shame that putting the phone into silent doesn't allow the alarm to overide the sound settings as it does on nearly every phone i've had.
Haven't tried turning the phone off to see if the alarm wakes it up and then goes off though.

Hello guys, I have a very very annoying problem: from time to time my Hermes starts ringing with the standard ringtone , I guess its called Windows Default something..... It is incredibly annoying. I guess you realize that I dont get any call, I dont have alarms scheduled, my pocket pc doesnt do any other strange thing. It just starts ringing (playing) that stupid song, over and over again, untill I turn it to Vibrate.
Check your notification queue.
Please be a little more specific.... What is the notification queue? I didnt mention it starts immmediately after a soft reset or a restart.
Use Check Notification
http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/cn_overview.html
To check if you have notifications that are weirdly scheduled (looks random to you, not attached to any reminder) that may be responsible for your random ringing, which may be trigger by the built in alarm (whch uses the same default ring tone)
Unbelievable.... I feel like smashing it to a wall... it really gets on my nerves.... Thank you man, I tried te program, but the reminder or whatever it is , its still there.
Sometimes, my default android alarm just doesn't ring in the morning, even though i'm sure it is supposed to ring..
The screen just turns on at the alarm time, giving me an option of snooze or dismiss, but there is no sound or vibrate notification at all.
I've googled it up, and seems like a ton of ppl are having this issue.
Anyone here know a quick fix regarding this? thanks!

I found that the stock sounds were too short to wake me up so I downloaded a new clock app for free called digital clock. It has worked great for the last week I have been using it
change time zone
I have the same problem until i change the timezone to the correct one, then it worked for me.
I had this problem with my Rogers Magic also -
When you're inside the "choose an alarm sound" menu and scrolling through the list,
if you press the volume buttons on the side of the phone then you can manually adjust
the alarm sound (mine was set to 0). Not sure what causes it to set to zero,
presumably when you take the phone off silent mode it sometimes fails to update the
alarm as well? This still needs looking at because it means the alarm volume resets
to zero of its own accord, but it can at least be managed by manual readjustment.
Hope this helps!
P.S. It might also be worth noting that when I was having this problem, no
third-party alarm apps would play the stock alarm sounds either.

lol I had this problem way back in my g1 days. I've tried everything from not closing the app from not allowing the phone to sleep. It seems to work at
random. This bug never seems to have been addressed with any updates or in the roms. I just use my alarm clock, its a hell of a lot more reliable. If you travel just get one of those clam shell clocks like my dad uses haha.

That's it right there.
Has anyone had the problem where the alarm on the alarm clock rings a single time and them stops ringing?
I have the checkbox in the control panel checked for repeat sound yet it seems to have started only ringing once (which is really annoying if you're a heavy sleeper).
Any help would be appreciated.
Yeah, I have that too. The only thing I've found it to be sure your reminders are on and it will remind you in a few minutes that you missed your alarm. Unfortunately the reminder tone will play at the end of your alarm tone as well so I picked a reminder that sounds OK with my alarm....
Hopefully someone will have a better solution.
p.s. I've noted that if attached to external power the alarm will repeat but if not, it won't. Seems it sleeps right after the alarm if alarm sounds when screen is locked and won't wake to continue the alarm.....
I suspected it was a power saving method but it's a pretty lousy method if it breaks the primary usage.
I decided to install a 3rd party alarm clock called Klaxon. It's free and it works great.
Hi all,
I noticed a lot of people had this problem when I came across it and couldn't find an intuitive solution on the phone.
Some people were having the problem that the alarm clock no longer made any sound even when the phone was on loud etc...
Many suggested reformatting or deleting and recreating alarms etc.
It is not helpful and infact unnecessary.
The problem itself I feel is in the interface and should possibly be fixed (unless i missed something.)
The problem is that the alarm sound is actually muted, when playing, I could not find any way to set the alarm volume, or check if it's silenced.
After hours of playing around, I realised that if I enter the alarm clock settings and enter the sound selection screen (where you pick the tone) you can now press the volume keys and it will show "Alarm Volume" and turn the volume up to where you desire.
In my case it was completely muted.
I feel it's a bit of a design problem, not making the availability of an alarm volume entirely obvious, but hopefully this will help somebody here, or maybe google searching to solve the problem.
sorry to rain on your parade, but this is not actually new. given the fact that it is not obvious to everyone it might be a good hint, but the problem with the alarm is that the sound is not played regardless of the volume setting. somewhat similar to the delayed ringtone problem...

Regardless of the other problem people may be having, this is a problem I was having and found a solution to.
I don't have the problem you are describing, this help is only for the problem I described where the alarm volume is actually muted.
As for the delayed ringtone problem, I have never had it, but I do notice that message notifications often don't play until I wake the device after seeing the notification light or feeling it vibrate, this doesn't bother me too much since my phone is on silent 99% of the time and the only sound I requiree it to play is my wake up alarm.
Hi Everyone,
This is my first post, I'm having trouble with my alarm, i set it with sound and vibration and it goes off silently without vibrating or sounding. I check all my settings of course, went to my Today menu, clock and alarms all seem to be set ok.... Can anyone PLEASE help! I woke up very late for work thanks to my phone!!
have you checked your notifications volume? And I assume you have also installed a media folder so actually have an alarm sound picked? Mine is working fine on Froyostone v1
