Under Sounds & Notifications, when one selects "Reminders", there is a tick box called "Repeat".
Presumably this means that when an alarm sounds, it should repeat until dismissed. Mine only plays once. Am I missing something?

Hi there,
Mine's a XDA Exec, and it does repeat although it pauses for about a second or two first. Not nearly loud or persistent enough to be a really decent alarm clock though!
OK, so it seems that aeAlarmPlus is the way to go - looks for an alarm and then comes up afterwards to do a repeating/escalating thing of it's own. Works well.
hi there
ok if u talking about alarms then go to clocks & alamrs --- go to alarm tab then set the time whet ever u want to set then click on the "BELL" icon
there is the option to make it repeat and even u can chose the sound
HTH

Yeah, I am using it too.
My problem is that I cant kill the alarm. It gets repeating and I am getting more and more mad. Or is this on purpose ? as I have to wake up and tick the box of with the stylus....
Anybody has the same problem?

Playing with alarms may have been the reason why my calendar was not able any more to remind me.
When soft resetting even alarms of all kind made me mad.
I hard reset (horrible job with a lot of work to do) solved my problem, but I do not touch the alarm any more.
Hope your problem is different

i have the same problem. It goes off every time and repeats for a couple of times and I dont see any option to close/kill it.. good thing I still have te sense not to bang it against the wall like an alarm clock.
i guess if the built in alarm function is not working or it goes crazy, just use any other free alarm application. i know theres a lot of free application out there.
I've tried the alarm function (Settings/System/Clock/Alarm), but it wasn’t reliable. So I switched it off again.
Now I here the alarm everytime I reboot my MDA Pro.
What’s wrong?
Try checking your "Notification Queue" for a calendar/alarm entry which hasn't been cleared. You can use software such as Memmaid or SKTools to view this. I personally prefer the first one.
Click on the first notification and see when this was due - if this falls in the past you should be able to just delete this.

Tnx! - Worked...

wow that sound like the problam i had a while back. i would get tons of random alarms right after a reboot. but it went away after i removed BBConnect., but come to think of it i stopped using the alarm clock at the same time too. i wonder which one it was.
I have captivate that runs on Firefly froyo ROM. I have an alarm set in my phone that is supposed to sound every morning. But when I reboot my phone everytime for replacing the spare battery, the alarm is not re activated. In simple works, alarm scheduled to sound everyday does not reactivate itself after reboot. Have to open the alarm, disable it and again enable to reactivate it.
Any solution for this. Also any app that solves the problem? Same thing happens with calendar reminder events. After reboot, the calendar reminder events do not work. HAve to go to the calendar app for it to activate. Any alternate apps for the problem?
Since a lot of people suggest disabling the g-sensor to prevent the screen freezes I thought I'd try something.
I don't want to have my rotation disabled as it's very handy to have. So what I do is use an app called Tasker. It's not free, but there is a 7-day trial available.
Basically I have it set to disable screen rotation every time the screen is off..and so far I haven't had any screen freezes. It may be coincidence, it may not be. I'm not exactly sure if the app does disable the g-sensor or does something else, but so far so good.
For those that don't know about Tasker...it's probably the best app that will ever be made for Android. You can make your phone do almost anything.
For example, I use it to:
When I get home, Wifi turns on and 3G is turned off. When I leave home, Wifi turns off and 3G turns on....same for work.
I have it disable wifi, 3g and screen rotation at night when I'm in bed.
It enables GPS when I launch maps or navigation, and disables GPS when I close the app.
And those are very basic ones...
The Tasker wiki has many more advanced "profiles" you can use:
Code:
Lock An Application
Start the Day with a Particular Application
Battery Full Alert
Launch Music App When Headset Inserted
Launch Menu of Music Apps When Headset Inserted
Keep screen awake when using the keyboard
Speaking Clock for Android 1.5
Control Keyguard (scroll to unlock) when Power is Connected/Disconnected
Keep Multiple Backups of Tasker Config
Change Ringtone on Every New Call
Mute in Meetings
Hold Ringer Volume Down
Auto-Respond To SMSs At Night
Change Volume Levels during Different Times of the Day
Check Data/SMS/Minute Usage With Carrier While Sleeping
Temporarily max brightness of screen during Incoming Call
Auto (Silent) Sleep Mode with Exceptions
Intermediate
Power Plug In - Choose Car/Home/Night Mode
Generic Toggle Widget
Open the keyboard and start texting
Set volume then Launch menu of music apps
Alarmclock without Snooze
Alarms with Snooze and Vibrate
Geburtstagserinnerung (German)
Car Locator
Notification Reminder Pulse
Locate your phone using SMS and google maps
Lock your phone and locate it by SMS and sound
A full talking clock
Act like a docking station when plugged into USB
Auto answer calls when your bluetooth headset is connected
Extended phone profile changer with Notification and Widget
Turn your cell phone into a Voip phone
Advanced
Periodic Data Check (Juicedefender Replacement)
Creates profiles similar to S60 devices and changes them depending on variety of factors
U.S. Navy Ships Bells (Using Tasker's OR '/' feature) * Pattern Matching *
Changing background image depending on current weather (Using HTTPGet)
Or you can simply create your own...there is a learning curve, but once you get a feel for it, it's VERY powerful! It can control almost every part of your Android phone.
There's a decent thread with more examples on xda in this thread.
I realise this is a software post, but it's main aim was to point out a way of disabling rotation to help with screen freezes
Hey,
thanks for this thread, i have downloaded tasker now.
Can you post your code for disabling gsensor when screen is off?
//EDIT: Sorry, its very easy.. i think i can create it by myself

New Event profile > Display off is the Event. Action is disable rotation
I have done it like you and added a task which enables the rotation if screen is on, is this correct?
I have used the phone now and i got freezes again, but not so much.. i think.

Yep, you also have to create another to say disable screen rotation when the screen is off.
@the_scotsman
Thanks for the suggestion, I've seen a few people mention this app before but now I finally downloaded it. I'll play around a bit to figure out some combos, but one quick question..
Is this going to be something running in the background sucking up battery and memory or is it just like running scripts? What do you think? I'll run current widget once I get some tasks going to see happens, just wondering if you've found anything out yet.

It depends on what profiles you set up...if they involve wireless, it will enable wireless every so often to check access points etc....or if you are using a location profile, it will enable gps every so often to check your location. You can change how often everything polls in the settings.
I have mine as per the first post, so it does scan for wireless every so often, and I havent seen any change in battery usage.

I can find everything else exept "disable rotation" in Actions. I only found "display rotation" in settings. Any help?

Yea, thats the one..just choose that one and set it to "off" in the settings for it
ty for the quick reply scotsman, I ll report back in a day or two.
Tried this, but didnt work
I tried many different versions of kernels but in all if I keep my phone on standby (screen off) for a long time, say 20 mins, my phone freezes, My hardware buttons still glow on press, but phone never wakes up, any Ideas??
Even you disable display rotation, the sensor is still active, just use Gscript and disable sensor, you won't get any more freeze.

I was just about to write exactly the same words!
Scotsman - can you tell if Tasker can run a custom written script, upon some event? Then we can use it to turn off the gsensor!
Finally seems to be workin!!I made 2 changes:
1) Upgraded my radio from 2.08 to 2.12 (I recommend this one)
2) Stopped GSensor with Gscript
Another issue,
After I restart the sensor via script, photos in album wont rotate anymore!!
I did a `ps -ef|grep akmd` and the process is running, any thoughts??
edit: it works after restart!!
did you use the free gscript? cause mine says needs su:true
Your solution is great thanks... i did something slightly different : using tasker, autorotation is enabled only for apps that I want too, like gallery. Rest of the time, its off and working great that way too.
Anyone else having this issue with their HD2? My alarms keep sounding even when they are off. My phone has the newest tmobile update, besides that Im only running bsb tweaks and cookies home screen and editor. It clearly says the alarms are off on the home screen.
settings menu all settings clocks and alarms untick 'sound alarms even when phone is set to silent'
edit - oh you didnt mean that.
Well, basically in my experience manila clocks and alarms doesn't properly sync itself to the winmo clocks and alarms settings. go where i said above, and turn the alarms on and then off again in that window. that should stop it happening. For the future, if you always only use the winmo clocks and alarms you shouldnt have any problems. (This should also help avoid the issue some people report where two sounds play for the same alarm, caused I believe by the same badly integrated manila clocks and alarms.)
I also changed the default app in cookies hometab so that tapping the alarm brings up wm clocks, and now ive forgotten all about the nightmare.
Yeah I dont understand it, I turned them all off, no days are selected, no sound, no vibrate, yet they still go off at random times. Not even times that I have any alarm set to. I'll try what you suggested though.

If it were me, I'd hard reset. I run the 3.14 stock rom and use the alarm everyday. Never had a problem. I do it all through the sense clock on cookies home tab.

I just did a hard reset about a week ago, so I don't know how it got f'ed up since.
I did what samsamuel suggested (change the alarm in the windows alarm settings instead of sense) and it seems to be working correctly now. Thanks Sam!
Extreme alarm just doesn't work. In fact no alarms work when set. You have the notification in the top window that it's due but nothing happens. What is going on?

Did you ever get the alarms to work ? Mine will not. I use the standard Android clock.
Nope, won't work.
Do you have the volume set in the alarm app to zero?
Alarm works great here, can even have the phone off and it turns on just in time to wake me up.
For third party clock/alarm apps, you might need to go to Power Manager > Power management for apps.
Find your 3rd party app and disable "scheduled background wake-up" and disable "allow deep sleep" (if those are on).
This worked for me for Sleep as Android so it might work for you.
