Well, there is something I don't understand.
I put the Alarm "ON" by putting the time and days and everything. Then, on Today screen, to the right of the date, it shows alarm is "ON".
The alarm sounds at the specified time (for instance, at 07H00), which is normal. Then, it shows "Alarm OFF". So, I click on "Alarm OFF". Then, I see the alarm is "ON"....
If I put the alarm time after the current time, then it shows again that the alarm is "ON" on Today screen. But, there is no way to turn it on (to make it show "Alarm ON") if I put 07H00 again (for instance), which is for tomorrow morning..
Maybe there is something I am missing. Can anyone help??
huh, never paied attention to that, but now that you're mentioning it, I do have an alarm which I activated yesterday, for 7:30 in the morning, I just activated all days, and put it to on from the switch. Sounded this morning, and just dismissed it .
But since I didn't switch it to off, and it's active for all days, it's still showing as "<clock image>7:30" in the home tab.
I am using axlor custom rom based on 2.02, so either it's a rom issue, or maybe you didn'tactually activate all days in the alarm?
Thank you very much, and I was completely stupid!! I turn Alarm "ON" from Monday to Friday, and I completely forgot that tomorrow is a Saturday..

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.
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.
Brand new HTC HD2, No software or any tweakings, nothing.
Alarm set to wake me up this morning.
Woke up an hour later, phone was on, alarm screen was on display with the machine freezed, had to soft reset. What the hell is that? This is a brand new nothing installed device. A simple thing as an alarm clock freezes the device?
Anyone experiences same problem?
I had the same problem, but with galarm.I never thought this can happen with the original software.It should be bugs free...
I get a similar problem sometimes with GAlarm. Luckily for me, it sets the alarm off then freezes up. That gets you out of bed believe me
The screen is on, with the time displayed and what looks like one of the balls from the maze/snooze function in the very top right hand corner. You can't do anything to get rid of the screen. I had to press the Home hard key then end task GAlarm to get it to stop. So it's not totally frozen up but GAlarm is fubard

Maybe a new function from g-alarm .
I don't have the problems you (all) are having, even with g-alarm. It's working like a charm on my HD2 orignal WWE 1.66 rom.
You guys/girls got all patches etc installed?
What kind of patches?
Doesn't 1.66 come with them already in?
I'm using BsBTweaks 1.6.
I think mine might be a setting within GAlarm. I quite often get an error while setting up alarms, usually either when adding tracks or when I get right to the end and save it. But it is there and set up when I next go in. I'm using GAlarm 2.3.
Never had this problem with my HD2. However it happened often with my HTC Touch Diamond. Maybe it has something to do with a specific device, dunno. Anyway just in case I have one alarm set on my iPod Touch so there's always at least one device that will wake me up. Maybe you should hard reset your phone or smth... Did you tweak your soft in some way? Edited the registry?
just this morning, fir the first time, the alarm clock didn't trigger. Had it set for 8:40, all days of the week active, obviously alarm was active, vibration was off.
I had a gut feeling that it MAY not work, so I setup the other phone at 9am just in case... as expected, the other phone woke me up, the hd2 didn't... but no freezes nor anything, simply no alarm sounded...
same for me. hd2. it has to do with
1. the windows lock screen
2. galarm
3. backlight/device timeout settings while locked
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
nothing like a frozen device MID alarm forcing you to pull the battery, and restart, etc
I have the same problem. But i will try something i found. Since the problem occurs occasionally I cannot reproduce the error and post a result. Maybe you can try and share the results too.
There's an option in G-Alarm settings that says "Turn backlight off during an alarm after x seconds". I will disable this feature.
I'm also using S2U2. This feature may interfere with S2U2.
Cheers
Well I am not using G alarm or any other app. Its just plain WM 6.5 alarm. I have tried it on 4 different ROM(stock) and other and I get same result.
If I don't reset my phone before going to bed at night, I will get this issue in the morning that my phone will be frozen during the alarm.
Any advice?
Try these, it should help freezing problems with htc hd2 and galarm
allthese settings are in galarm settings option
1)Disable "turn backlight off during snooze"
2) Disable "turn backlight off during an alarm after x secomds"
3)Disable "show flightmode function"
4) Disable "unlock the device"
I also have the same problem, sometimes the WM alarm fails to sound the alarm, the phone says that it has gone off, but no alarm sounds.
Have done some research, and it sounds like a fault with WM, the phone "wakes" its self at ~03:00 for 30seconds to schedule all its tasks for the day, BUT if it takes too long scheduling other tasks, it cant do the alarm call due to running out of time.
I've set two alarms during the day ("wake up" and "finish to work") but they doesn't works.
Lock screen says, for example, "Friday 6:30pm" but at 6:40 nothing have ringed, and lock screen continues to show "Friday 6:30pm" even if the date and time is passed.
I have waited 30 minutes but nothing changed...
With Stock Froyo 2.2.2 Alarms worked well.
Now I'll risk to not wake up in time!!!!!
PS: I'm talking about STOCK 2.3.4 without root, CustomROM or others hacks.

It should work. Do you have an alarm sound picked, the correct day picked for the alarm, and check mark checked for the alarm?
Sent from my Atrix 4G with XDA Premium App
Sure.
For example we can take Today (friday): lock screen shows "Friday 7:50am" but now it's "Friday 10:16am"....That alarm is enabled from Monday to Friday at that time.
To avoid restart, I need to go to Alarm app, uncheck and check "Alarm active" checkbox, and then the Alarm will be active ONCE for next time.....
Mine are working they just went off this morning. 2.3.4 on ken's rom here.
My alarms are working fine after the Official 2.3.4 OTA
Didn't need to alter anything after it updated from Froyo.
Mine work also
This has also happened to me. When I try to change the volume, only the alarm volume is silent, no matter what sound I choose. After the alarm fails to sound, if I touch the volume, my phonr reboots?
Not sure if this is specific to my ROM, but probably not, as it's a TouchWiz ROM, so I'm guessing someone could see this issue with the stock ROM as well.
I've got a T-Mobile S5 (SM-G900T), running XtreSoLite 2.1 Lollipop XXU1BOC7.
When I dismiss my alarm in the morning as it's going off, it "unchecks" the current day from the alarm settings. So I have my work alarm set to go off at 7am, monday thru friday. Today (thurdsay), it goes off, I wake up, swipe it to turn it off. Go into the alarm app and see that now my work alarm is only set for mon, tues, weds, and friday. It's been doing this every day for about 2 weeks. It definitely worked for months after I installed the ROM, so I'm not sure what the hell happened to make this start.
Any ideas?
