I recently installed the day light savings patch to my cingular 8525 so I don't know if this has anything to do with it. However, my pre-set alarms now will chime when they're supposed to, but the "notification" in the bottom left hand corner does not come up. Now, the alarm goes on and on until I turn the phone off for a short period of time. Even then, sometimes the alarm continues to ring, maybe until it times out. But I can't seem to turn off my alarm.
Anyone have an idea of what might be causing this?
I've noticed that if I turn off ALL of my alarms that it no longer does this (no alarms to come on!) but the secondary issue is then I no longer get notices when my meetings are about to start. So either I get notification for when my meetings start and every morning I struggle with turning my alarm off, or I get no notices whatsoever.
The missed calls and text message notifications are working normally.
Hi,
Sometimes the clock on my HTC Touch HD is set at the wrong time. Sometimes minutes, sometimes several hours. This messes up my reminders and alarms; very annoying.
It think the clock is accidentally changed in my pocket; when I get a calendar reminder the phone turns on the screen. When I ignore the reminder and leave the phone in my pocket, the clock is big target to push accidentally.
I can think of several solutions:
-Lock the phone every time, which is annoying.
-Change some setting so the phone doesn't turn the screen on with reminders.
-Make the time/date change unavailable from tapping the clock.
Has anyone else ever encountered this problem?
And solved it?
Thanks!

I managed to change the time zone and had a shock when I awoke one morning
normally I leave my phone locked
I use s2u2
which has the time and most everything else I need displayed upon it
that works for me

Ok, to answer your query:
-Easiest solution is lock the phone every time - why is this annoying.
-Change some setting so the phone doesn't turn the screen on with reminders - Go to Start > Settings > Sounds & notifications > and disable alarms/reminders
-Make the time/date change unavailable from tapping the clock - Not sure if this is possible
-Use SU2U
Problem remains
Hi,
Thanks for the replies so far!
I have downloaded and installed S2U2. With that app, locking is indeed no longer annoying (I meant that the built-in locking is annoying; press and hold the hang-up button, etc.)
About the reminders: I don't want to disable reminders and alarms; I just don't want the screen to be turned on so I can't accidentally touch any buttons when I leave the phone in my pocket.
But.... Even with S2U2, the problem remains. Last weekend I had the phone in my carkit (Brodit holder, absolutely no buttons pushed). And without ever touching anything, not even receiving a call, the clock just changed about 20min. all of the sudden. I now think it has to do with mail being synced: my work email through activesync and my gmail. It probably syncs the clock of either of those mailservers. But then I still don't understand because the clocks of both servers are correct. And if the would be off, it would most likely be by a fixed offset (probably full hours), not random....
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jasper

I have the same problem. My clock changes without touching it in pocket or something like that. I thing it could be some sync error. I turn off automatic time zone switching, hope it helps.
Sometimes the clock is wrong after downloading emails. But I'm not absolutely sure yet.
Solved
After turning off all time sync, the clock is now going ok. For the last two weeks, no problem with clock settings...
I've had the N1 for a day and love it so far, but I seem to be having inconsistent behavior on calendar reminders. I have the calendar set to give a reminder, but it only sometimes sounds the alarm. It will always have the notification in the notification bar, but either the original reminder sound or if I snooze the alarm may not sound. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?
There was a post on the google message boards that someone else is having this problem as well. Anyone else hear experiencing erratic behavior from their alarms/calendar reminders?
I've had some random issues here and there. I would like more options when it comes to notifications, and more consistency. For one I would like the led indicator to continue flashing indefiantly (as the tool tip says it should) until I acknowledge the notification. The current behavior sounds and flashes once, and if you miss that, then you have no idea you had a notification unless you woke the screen and looked at the bar.
Most annoying is the missed call behavior, but it extends to sms, email, calendar.
Edit: okay, so it does persist, but its too infrequent. one short but slow flash every 30 sec or so. I'd like something every 1 sec or 500ms flash.
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.

This is all what I have installed. Now on rooted ROM I have also A2SD.
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!
I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but this has happened twice to me now, in a week. I have the snooze set to 3x10 (which I find odd that you have to enable snooze in the first place) however, it doesn't always work, like this morning I hit snooze and once again the alarm never came back.
and I'm not hitting the wrong button, at least they used different colors for the two.
Mine is working great. Never had a problem and I actually love the new alarm clock. I thought it was strange to have to enable it, but I'm guessing it's because they gave you the ability to customize the snooze feature and just decided to have it turned off by default (not what I would've done but it wasn't that big of a deal to turn it on)
I have the same issue the alarm is pretty bad.

I have not seen that problem on my Vibrant.
But it does remind me of the good old days when I first got my G1 its stock alarm clock would just not work at all sometimes it was like a random chance of it going off.... made me late for work twice lol.
Same problem here.
This morning, I found that if I hit the volume down key instead of the snooze button, it works.
Also, anyone figure out what's the point of Smart Alarm?

Smart Alarm is an alarm that starts before your regular alarm lol... you can have it play rain sounds or morning bird chirps for 3 minutes before your alarm goes off.
I'm having issues with my alarm as well. This morning mine failed to go off at all, fortunately I set my touch as a backup.

For some reason it doesn't give me a snooze option when the smart alarm goes off.
Also I got to work late this morning because my alarm didn't go off at all. I had fallen to sleep using the "Sleepy Time" app and apparently when it's running, the alarm won't go off.
At least I hope it's that app because if it isn't then I have some unknown issue that makes the alarm unreliable.
Yeah I'm just gonna have to get me a cheap alarm clock... It's hard to trust it, i've been late twice now in a week...
i've used the alarm clock since the day it came out and it's never let me down yet. make sure you don't have a task killer that kills it before it can come on and that when you snooze you actually long-press on the button to do so. i'm sure i told you a bunch of stuff you already know/have tried, but i wanted to make sure.
I set my snooze to try it out and it only worked once. I think I had it set on 10 minutes, 3 times, and it didn't work.
Same problems here. I've got my Snooze set to "10 min, 5 times" and it doesn't work. I hit Snooze in the morning, then wake up an hour later and have to scramble to get ready for work.
I'm going to see if I can install the stock Android clock/alarm on it instead.
I use AlarmClock Plus instead of the stock program. No complaints so far.
Sounds like there may be a problem with snooze. I use the regular alarm and set 3 different times in the morning, all have worked since I setup the phone, but I dont use the snooze option.
I've had alarm issues on this and other samsung phones. They just don't work very well. I am using math alarm clock (paid app) now, can be found in the market. I love it and have had no issues. Plus I can't shut it off without looking at it which helps me, a very heavy sleeper, wake up.
What I've noticed is that if you have check marks on both the morning alarm and the normal alarm, in the same alarm profile, the morning alarm will go off first and only display the option of stopping that alarm, no snooze option appears on screen. The problem is that the morning alarm will stop all alarms in that alarm profile. So that back up alarm you set for 15 minutes after the morning alarm is also canceled once you stop it.
Making two alarm profiles fixed that problem for me.

I use Math Alarm in the market. It's a couple of bucks, but it might be the best non-root paid app I've ever used. You can set the math problems to varying degrees of difficulty and, for sound sleepers like me, it's a very useful tool.
I've never had a problem with the snooze that I can concretely tie to the application and not my sleepiness... but there have been some oddities. Tried snooze a few days ago and it worked fine, though.
Never had any troubles with the alarm going off (that would be hell). I actually like this alarm because it makes you press/hold instead of just tapping the dismiss/snooze button. That seems to help me actually wake up cause I have to think about it (as sad as that sounds...).
I personally have two physical alarms set.
1) 7:00am with 2 snoozes
2) 7:30am with no snoozes
So far I've used and messed with both since I've had my phone and like clock work they both haven't failed me once. I do however turn my phone off now and then and often my phone is off and when I am forced to get up at 6am to help the wife get out the door I go back to sleep and I rely on my phone after I turn it on to wake me back up.
Mine only snoozed once today although I had it set to do it 3 times.
