Hei!
A question!
Is Touch2 alarm clock working when phone is shuted down?
I have with that a problem. When I shut phone down, then it wont wake up me (doesent work), is it normal or is the phone broken?
Mine is also not working
My alarm also does not sound when the phone is shutted down. I think it is normal.
Go to start/settings/clock-alarm settings and choose tab "more"...there you can select the alarm to sound even when phone is switched off or on vibrate.....
This does not work when the phone is shutted down ofcourse.....
If you shut down your phone, i.e. turn it off - No Windows mobile will sound the alarm, not just Touch2 . Well people give reasons like this acts like a 'Computer' (PPC) - But I still find it funny and annoying.

I have 3 issues...
1. The backlight seems to shut itself off every once in a while. I'll try to wake the phone from sleep mode only to notice there is no light, so I have to move the phone near a light source to see the dimmed screen and work my way to the backlight setting and increase it back to normal.
This happened once while I was driving
Is there a cure for this problem?
Also, I noticed spb pocket plus's backlight slider on my today screen does not work, nor do the shortcut commands it has for backlight up/down/loop etc.
2. When I was testing a new ringtone, I called my phone from another phone. I noticed it does not receive the call on the first ring. It receives it on the 2nd ring. I can hang up during or right after the first ring and not have it come up on my phone. Is this normal?
3. Alarm bug. This %$#@ lead me to hard-reset my phone 3 times already. When my phone is in sleep mode and an alarm triggers, sometimes the phone won't wake, but keeps playing the alarm. I wake the phone manually only to notice there is no alarm notification, but a flashing orange light and constant alarm sound and vibration. A soft-reset seemed to make the problem worse. Finally, I found a program called memMaid which lets me delete notifications and duplicate notifications etc. Is this the best method to cure this problem?
Thanks in advance.
With the backlight, do you have it on charge at the time of it messing up?
i've had this issue but only when the phone was on charge.
if i unplugged the phone, backlight came back and then i simply plugged it back in
other than that, no cure that i've found. what software version are you using?
for the alarm, not seen that, i have noticed that recently i've had the alarm apparently going off (but it hasnt!) and then almost 2 hours later, i have a msg saying "alarm" with the dismiss button and the time of when it was supposed to go off. very odd. luckily i have a nokia 6230i that i use as my alarm clock.
and for the calls... i have the same problem but only when i copy over my SMS back onto the device. after hard reset its fine, but as soon as my msgs go back, i think the phone mem gets slower. (i have 1600 sms now on the phone with about 300 contacts with pictures)
I have the same issue with sms where the phone will light up, 5 seconds after it recieves the sms... so i'm guessing thats the same as the phone side, it lights up on my end, 3-5 secs later it rings (which is eqiv to one ring on their side so it hangs up after 2 more rings).
very strange issues though, i hope softwre updates fix it because it is annoying me now!
also have an issue with my camera where if you dont X out of it, then dont expect it to load again unless you reset the phone. it just shows the "egg timer" and thats it. useless camera software but great pda/phone. again luckily i have a camera always with me anyway.
Only thing i have experience with this is for 1).
I still get that backlight problem.
It started happening when i installed PocketZenPhone beta.
After every soft reset, if i let the phone go into standby or the let the backlight time out, the backlight setting will go all the way to the lowest.
I don't know how to fix this bug, only thing i've done to sort with it is have a Today Screen launcher set up so that i have an icon that leads directly to the backlight setting, so whenever it dims on me, i'm 2 thumb pushes away.
Actually, this is the first time i saw this, when i installed zen on mine too!
It was then i realised that if you unplugged the power supply then replug it in, it fixed it
in the end, i got fed up of zen's stability or the lack off so i removed it, hard reset etc
it still happens but very rarely, and when it does, its just because i've turned it off and on while it was on the power supply
i have the same freaking problem with backlight. not sure what the deal is but very very annoying. is there a fix to this problem??

Mine had the occasional "backlight set to off" (i.e. pushing the 5-way would NOT turn it back on - had to use Control Panel applet) problem too. I never used Pocket Zen Phone on this phone (have on others in the past) but did use both SPB pocket plus and Phone Alarm.
I think the problem is somehow related to apps that try to control the backlight. As you've noted, SPB's backlight applets don't do anything, I think that PZP and Phone Alarm, as part of their attempts to control the backlight in their profiles mess it up somehow.
What i did was limit my profiles in PA to only two, and make sure both of them were set exactly the same way as far as controlling the backlight:
o Both profiles have backlight set to 50% all the time
o Both profiles set to power off the backlight at 3 minutes on both AC and battery
o Both profiles set to suspend the device at 2 mins on battery (so never getting to the "backlight only power-off" setting above).
o Having the backlight go dark on AC is new for me, but it keeps it consistent with the battery setting, but it's no biggie and if it ain't broke...plus if I touch any button it comes back on
I also removed SPB pocket plus and found some freebie utilities that do what I wanted from SPB.
So I'm not positive it's related, but doing these three things and i haven't had the light go dark since. Every once in a while after a reboot the light does go dark, but hitting any button or the 5-way brings it back so it's not the same "setting has been set to no backlight at all" problem I was having, and only seems to occur soon after a reboot, and then not again.

i fixed my problem by flashing rom over with 2.17 US version.
Hi. I have been irritated about the win mobile device reminder not waking up my device or repeating the alarm if the device does wake up. Many times, I set an alarm using windows "clock and alarms", press repeat sound, and it repeats only once if at all. Also, if my phone is turned off, it won't wake the device. I have to turn it on then I hear alarms. Even when plugged in.
I have VZxv6900 Vogue. I have the windows mobile 6.1. Is there a cheap alarm that will wake my phone up with or without being plugged in, and also repeat until I dismiss it? I am looking for a RELENTLESS alarm clock for my Vogue XV6900. $10 or preferably less.
Thank you.
G-Alarm is the best free alarm, and no app will automatically power the device on.
Go to Settings->System->Power, and uncheck the "On External Power". This is how I got around it not waking me up in the morning. It stays on while being charged and the alarm WILL go off.
Every night I leave my phone on to charge when I go to sleep, and the alarm never seems to sound.
Luckily its not the only thing I have to wake me up so it doesn't cause much trouble but its still annoying.
When I do wake up the alarm dialogue has appeared on screen, but that's it.
What gives?
System volume up high enough?
Alerts volume switched on?
You had the phone in airport mode or fully switched-on?
I had the same this morning, been using the alarm for 2 weeks, no problems. This morning screen lit up then phone froze. reset button didn't cure it, battery out did
This won't happen too many more times before it gets launched back to O2

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.

Also I have everyday setup one backup alarm clock at 6:00 because I don't trust anymore phone alarm clock(cca. 3-4 years when Im start using smartphones: QTEK S100)
tried the 3 alarms option this morning. swipe-to-turn-off works normal. do you have any non default screen lock, etc aps installed?

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 just want to check with other Atrix owners.
Sometimes the alarm symbol doesn;'t appear in the top right and the time isn't shown on the lock screen. The alarm is still set, but without the feedback, I have to double check to make sure.
Is this an android thing? Motoblur? Atrix?

Wish I could help, but I have it autoset for weekday at 5 am. Always appears for me.
I do have an issue with alarm volume changing to a lower volume when I change the media volume to a lower volume, but it does not increase when I increase the media volume.
Maybe I am just messing it up
I've had the same problem sometimes too

dumb question, but my phone hasn't arrived yet.
does the alarm work with the phone off? I mean, if i turn it off, will the alarm turn on the phone and ring, like nearly every phone i have owned?
and no, leaving the phone on at night is not an option for me.
I think if you totally power it off, it stays off.
OTOH if you put the phone in "airplane" mode, and then "shut" the phone by pressing the on/off/lock/unlock button, the whole phone goes black, goes to sleep, but the alarm very much still works & turns it all one again.
AFAIK on this phone, OFF really means OFF. Stone cold dead. Which is OK by me.
