Hello,
I want to use my X10 as a wake up alarm but it doesn't work.
I want one of my one mp3's as the alarm so i tried several apps like ringdroid.
I can add and modify my mp3.
So i set up the time and go to sleep. Next morning no alarm went off.
I set the alarm a few minutes later, turn of the screen off and nothing happened.
I leave the screen on and the alarm went off.
I just want my alarm with the screen off to go off.
Any suggestions?
When your screen turns off the phone probably puts your market alarm applikation to sleep and cousing it not to ring, you should be able to use the built in one but not with mp3's.

Are you using any kind of Task killer?
Yes, the build in one works just fine. But i want my one mp3 to go off.
Yes, i use a taskkiller but i excluded it from the list.

My Uni was synced to my PC via USB cable when a Reminder came up. I clicked "Dismiss" in Outlook's popup window, thinking it would automatically dismiss the reminder from the phone as well (like it usually does).
However, to my annoyance, IT KEPT ON RINGING! I picked up the phone to switch off the reminder manually, but, to my amazement, it wasn't there anymore! The phone kept playing an alarm sound for a reminder that had already been dismissed!!
Two soft-resets later and it's still playing! Is there any way to switch the damn thing off without a hard reset? Just installed a bunchload of new apps on it, don't want to have to go through it again....
I have the same problem with my Dash. I set an alarm for 8:40pm. The alarm went off, I turned off the alarm and even changed the alarm to a different time. Every day the alarm goes off at 8:40pm. its crazy!
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.

-CacheCleaner(On Stock ROM Im not use it)
-bMonitor Server Monitor (On Stock ROM Im not use it)
-Paper Toss (On Stock ROM Im not use it)

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.
I have problem with alarm clock.
example: I set alarm at 7am, but when I wake up at 7:20, it still havent ringed. I wake up phone (still in lock screen) and I can see how the time changes from 6:xx to 7:20 and then it rings.
Basicly the clock isnt moving up as it should while in sleep mode, so my alarm didnt ring up!
I need help with this!

Same here!
Im using nb 256.
Reboot your phone.
somewhere readed you have to "volume up" while in alarm - tryed, it doesnt help. Today woke up at 7:14, alarm was at 7:15 - it even didnt ring at that time...
Trying reboot
Sometimes it happened to my phone but most time it rings correctly. This might happened when some apps/services stuck in the background so the clock also stuck. So, if there is lots of apps installed there is great chances of clock stuck. A good auto app killer may help.
You must not kill the Clock process with any task killer! I had the same problem because I've killed my Clock process
On don't know if this is an android problem or my rom or the stock alarm app.
I set my phone on silence before bed. I set my alarm. I go to bed. Then some times in wake up way later than I wanted because the alarm didn't go off. I check my phone and it shows in the notification bar that it's still going off and gives options to dismiss or snooze, but there's no sound. I also have a missed call right around the time it went off. Every other night when I don't get calls the alarm works fine.
Does anyone else have this problem? And if so is there a way around it?
I could use air plane mode, but then sometimes I get texts hours after I turn airplane mode off that were sent while I was sleeping.
Thanks!
