Has anyone had this... for the last 2-3 mornings, both alarms came on some 3/4 of an hour before they were due. Even more strange, the fact that the time intervals are not constant: the 1st, due at 0924 went off at 0842; 2nd, due at 0939 went off at 0853. I've tried experimenting a few times this am, but haven't managed to make it happen again ---perhaps it needs to be resting overnight in order to get confused!
See what happens tomorrow morning. By the way, I suspect this has been happening ever since I changed the first alarm's tune from 'beeps' to 'classic'.
P.S.: And as with other users, notification sound comes on too, but that's not nearly as frustrating!
Cheers!
the alarm is USELESS. Don't waste your time with it, get galarm

My phone automatically adjusted itself for daylight savings but now all my alarms go off an hour early. For instance, I set an alarm for 3pm and it will go off at 2pm showing that it should go off at 3pm but still showing 2pm on the phone clock. Hope that wasn't too confusing. Anyways, has anyone else dealt with this and know a fix? Thanks guys.
alarm fix
set your alarm a hour later
lol sorry some had to say it apart from that have nothing to suggest
You might try changing the time zone and changing it back. I had a similar problem with my Cingular 8125 after DST.
All you have to do is reset the alarm time, that will be fine. I got the same problem when my phone ajust to DST.
Hey guys .. newbie here. Great forum by the way, I'm very glad I found this place as it sure does have a lot of useful info on it!!
I'm having a similar problem here, and I'm curious if there might be a patch for it. I have a Cingular 8125 and my clock keeps going back an hour all the time, which in turn messes up my alarm, appointments, etc. I did change the time zone to -7 Eastern instead of -6 Central but I'd really like to get this fixed for good. I heard there's a patch available, but dunno where to find it.
Any help is appreciated!
Ok this is really bugging the crap out of me. Last week I was messing around with my phone trying out the alarms that come with the standard rom, nothing special. I renamed one of the alarms "Travel" and set it to go off at 6:15am every morning of the week. I tried it out and it worked fine, etc. Long story short, now the stupid alarm is going off every morning, even though I unchecked it and even unselected every day of the week under the alarm properties. Any ideas???????

ok so i set my alarm for 7:00am this morning and it just didnt go off...luckily my mum woke me up anyway but still its very unreliable...anyone else had this issue? maybe its linked to my sms message problem? thanks
the alarm on my X1i has been working flawlessly and waking me up every day at the specified time of 7am...i wish mine didn't work so i wouldn't have to wake up that early!
Be sure to have "Let Alarmsignal ring, even if the device is turned on silent or vibrate only" (i dont know what the official text is but im just losely translating from english.
You should find this option with the Clock and Alarmsignal settings under the Tab More.
Also i suggest setting 2 or 3 alarms.. maybe that will help.. ;P
Mine too, some times it simply doesn't go off (specially if more than one alarm are set).
i wake up before it has to anyway but it's still annoying!
and no, that option doesn't help at all, i tried it.
I'm using the free G-Alarm since October last year and it reliably woke me up every morning.
Maybe you want to try it: www.ageye.de
use G alarm

been using G alarm. no problem.
G Alarm has already failed me twice... helping me get late for work!
I really like it but if i have a real important apointment i use another cell phone with another alarm, i simply can't rely on any of the X1's alarm system alone...

Sorry to say that, but it seems to be your fault then.
G-Alarm works reliable and fine.
Just be sure the alarm is set active and at the right days and the ringtone is available and set to 100% volume.
Also let G-Alarm fix the Windows Mobile Alarm Bug and force to put the sound through the speaker even if the phone's set to silent or vibrate only.
Did you tell it to ring EVERY DAY? I forget this every "first" time on a new phone and the alarm dows not work. It only rings when you tell it to do.
I knew it wasn't just me!
Sometimes it will go off fine
Sometimes it will just vibrate and then do nothing else
Other times it won't go off at all
I can't seem to find a pattern to it, it just seems completely temperamental and is far to unreliable.
As for g-alarm that's far too annoying. It went off while my phone was on silent on a train. Had loads of puzzles and mazes and doesn't stop ringing until you have done them. I pulled out the battery, turned it back on and the alarm went off before the phone had even booted up!
sometimes this problem occurred for me with the custom roms being developed but with the original and the r2a roms I have not had an issue
yep, done all that and i have wm all fine tuned, and as i said, only failed twice over a month or so on a week day configuration with no changes made to it, but enough for me to not fully trust it anymore, be it problem with G Alarm or windows problem...

You can turn those snooze games off , it's just if you want it to really wake you up . Anyway G-Alarm works well for me so far. With the standard I had issuses, even on my older Magician. This one period it only sounded this ding sound repeatadly and refused to play the sound file which of course was in place. Weird stuff, but G-Alarm is awesome, it even allows you to set random MP3s from a playlist you set up. Waking up with a different DnB tune every day
Yes i have a feeling ill have the same issue as Elusivo...no alarm whether it be the standard or g-alarm will be 100% reliable on my X1. Glad i'm not alone but quite annoyed because that is one of my most important things...this along with text messages not always sounding or being displayed until messinging is opened up makes the phone a little difficult to love sometimes.
To me it seems everyone's X1 is slightly different....some have physical issues like cracking etc, whilst others have things that don't work as well as someone elses X1. I find it very strange. I guess these are my issues!

yes, exactelly
as far as i remember, i also faced this on my SE P910i, also same problem!
i barely sleep, and if the phone only vibrates i wake up, but mostly it doesnt!
i will try GAlarm, let's see.
+1 for G-alarm here.
I tried several different progs before settling with G.
I cannot think of an instance where it has let me down, without it being my own stupid fault.
As said before, you can switch off the mazes and puzzles, and just use it as a standard alarm, with/without snooze.
Best piece of freeware i have got, i think.
Why does WinMo standard alarm suck so badly?
Have MS forgotten to update it all this time?
Alarm
You have any idea how i can add in me xperia more alarm tone.?
I have never had any problems with the alarms. They are right on time.
i tried mine set for this morning. no problems yet. ill test it a whole week or so and see how it goes.
standard nam rom for my x1a.
I gave up on the built-in alarm and I've been using SPB Time which I'm very happy with!
I've experienced about a dozen instances over the past month and a half when the HTC alarm goes off at the specified time but I'm unable to dismiss/silence it. It has been only an intermittent problem and I've yet understand the exact conditions that cause this to occur or been able to reproduce it under controlled conditions. In any case it is quite annoying as I'm forced to completely power off the phone just to make the alarm stop (not fun when you're just trying to hit snooze for an extra ten minutes). I've experienced the issue from both the "alarms" and "timer" feature of the HTC clock. I do use a task manager, but have Clock on its ignore list and don't notice anything on the auto-kill list that would be related.
Has anyone else experienced this or have any insights? I'll keep ya posted if I discover what conditions are causing this.
Thanks,
Darren
Happened to me as well, i hit dismiss and the window went away but the alarm noise kept playing and wouldnt stop... so then i opened up task killer and killed off the clock task and it still kept playing! even with no programs running! had to turn it completely off to stop
I had the same happen. Still have yet to figure out why .

same thing happened to me. i received a text while the alarm was sounding, but when i closed handcent i couldn't turn the alarm off.
Interesting to hear the problem isn't limited to my device. For what its worth, I submitted a report to HTC; we'll see if they give any useful response.
Actually experienced the problem again this morning. It was interesting in that I had just powered-on the phone immediately before going to bed, so the issue seems to be unrelated to anything I'm manually running on the phone. Spent a few minutes in task manager seeing if I could kill the sound but with no luck; decided for the sake of my roommate that I'd just power off and work on it at a more convenient time.
Will let you know if HTC says anything, although with the new senseless rom's coming out this will likely become a non-issue for me.
Its a known issue. I started a thread about this the week the phone was released. It happens when anything comes up at the same time as the alarm such as texts or other alerts. I had it happen where an alarm was sounding then a calendar even came up and both got stuck. Its a Sense UI issue. Good thing that's a thing of the past. Getting rid of Sense this weekend and flashing a new ROM
Folks, Can you check your DVP time and the actual time today from google. My DVP time zone is set to 05-Eastern US and canada. As of this writing, the current time in DVP is 8:45am. The time as per google and other time sites is 7:45AM. Without DST applied, it is 6:45AM..Can't understand how the DVP shows +2 hrs when DST is in effect.
Edit: It looks like its a minor bug. The DST doesn't work off the get go automatically. Once i went into settings and came back to main screen (or used the phone for couple of minutes), the Time is synced.
================FOR MS==============
Sequence of event (this is for MS to troubleshoot):
1. Set Alarm to ring on weekends @ 7:45AM
2. Sunday 13th Mar 2011 came, alarm rang. Woke up and saw the time on the Device, it said 8:45AM
3. Was pissed that i am late by 1 hr. Booted up my computer and time popped up as 7:45(+/-5 min).
4. Checked my WP7 device again, still said 8:45AM.
5. Went into alarm and checked and came back to main screen and after 10 min, time says 7:55AM.
My inference:
1. Either Alarm is following a time clock on its own or it is not DST applied.
2. OS is not syned with timeserver(?) until one uses the phone?
=============FOR MS==================
My DVP showed the correct -5 Eastern shift BUT my alarm, set for 7am, went off at 8am (adjusted, it was 7am if the time change hadn't happened). I think we may be seeing the same thing. Once my alarm went off, then the time may have updated (the alarm woke me up, so I don't know what it read before that).
I then set a single a alarm, and that happened without a hitch. I didn't mess with my daily 'work' alarm, but added a second one one minute later just in case to track this issue.
I feel bad if this is a bug that's making anyone late for work today.
Yep, same for me...The Alarm was set for 7:45am and it went of @ 8:45am. I think the internal clock might be fine, just the display time is screwed up or buggy.
mines is correct
I'm not sure whats going on with you guys but I don't seem to have this. my time is displayed correctly with no change or intervention from me. I woke up this morning to the right time displayed on my phone. plus I did not have an alarm problem.
I'm using an HD7, not a dell venue pro. don't know if that makes a difference.
It might be just a DVP issue as well. One other thing to note is this bug happens only in a small windows of time (may be 5-10 min or less). So it is very easy to not notice by many. Also If one has the lock screen turning on all time - this might not happen - that's my guess.
Non Bad part - The alarm goes off fine, but time is shown wrong.
Bad part - If one had any appts/tasks to do said day, they might thing that they are 1 hr late and thier alarm screwed up - only to realize later that all is well and WP7 made fun of them.

Just confirming, my alarm was set to 7h00 and went off at 8h00 and when you go into the alarm config it shows it was set to 7h00.
No such bug bugging my DVP.
Strange bugs keep popping out every now n then with dvp.

Seems like the few of us that had this happen had alarms set on Sunday. The rest may not have used it to wake up today.
It will be interesting to see if it's just the DVP or a widespread deal with WP7.
