Hey guys,
Has anyone managed to get the smart alarm to work?
Everytime I set it up the regular alarm rings, which is too bad since I liked the smart alarm tunes. Not too much information out there about this.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
My smart alarm works, my only issue with it is that snooze won't work when smart alarm is activated.
Seconded. I cant seem to get my smart alarm to work either. Any insight on this?
The Smart Alarm is in addition to the regular alarm. For example, if you set your alarm for 7:00 am and set the Smart Alarm for 3 mins, the Smart Alarm will start off at 6:57. Then the regular alarm goes off at 7:00 in case the SA hasn't woken you up yet.
I also noticed that if I fiddled with the alarm tone at all, the Smart Alarm would uncheck itself. When you've finished making all the alarm adjustments that you want to, go back and make sure Smart Alarm is still checked.

Ha thanks! Evidently when testing this alarm, i was setting the alarm for 2-3 min ahead of time, so the smart alarm didn't have a chance to go off before the regular alarm. Guess i just though that the time set was for the smart alarm to go off not 1-30 min with the smart alarm, then the regular alarm sounding at the end of the set period. This should be put in a FAQ methinks. Doesn't outline it in the user manual...IDK maybe it's just me.
It's not just you. I totally agree that it should be in the manual. I had to run a Google search to figure that out.

Hello,
Playing around with the standard alarm clock on my PPC has led me to run late for several important meetings. From what I think what has happened is that i have set the alarm clock and it has not gone off. For some strange reason it doesnt go off when you want it but goes off when your in the middle of a phone call after the set time ! As an example, if i get a call 3 hours later, thats when it goes off.
Anyway, trying to turn the alarm off in the middle of a phone call is another nightmare. I have to put up with it until i soft reset the device.
So....out it goes !
In their wisdom, does anyone have any alternatives to the standard alarm clock ? I don't really want it to do anything fancy. Just go off when it is supposed to, have some better alarm tones, and maybe have a snooze feature for those times i want to get another 5 minutes sleep lol.
try using spb time... you can also use an mp3 as alarm tone
try the MortPlayer...

thank....spb time is working perfectly
I am currently using HTC's default alarm app, but I'm finding the alarm tone won't repeat and it will only ring out once, for say 3-4 seconds, and none of the tones seem to be any longer.
This is an issue for a heavy sleeper like me as I can often sleep though this and I'm partial to the odd snooze so there might 3 or 4 chances for me to do this! .
Anyone found a way to keep the alarm ringing out (repeating) till I turn it off. I'm using Dutty's ROM so I I'm not sure whether this is just a quirk of his ROM or just a crap alarm from HTC.
Help or reccomendations of good alarm apps welcome!
its not the rom, its the crappy alarm from windows mobile.. really useless imo.
i use the app G-Alarm that works great
(link)
the main thing i have found since using 6.5.x build roms is that the repeat problem no longer occurs. It repeats until you stop it.
One suggestion i can offer is to forget about setting up the alarms through the htc alarms tab, do them direct into settings - menu - all settings - clocks and alarms.
you will find 1 - there are more alarm sounds available, (which tells me the HTC alarms tab isn't working exactly the same as the system one)
and
2 - the HTC alarms tab will copy what you put in the system alarms screen, BUT setting directly into the HTC alarms doesnt always copy through to the system alarms tab.
I also use G-alarm, its great. But here is a free one thats looks like G-alarm

I have "Alarm-Light" selected as my alarm tone, and the thing doesn't shut up until I've stopped it.
I set the alarm and it simply did not work.
Here is what I did:
From one of my panels, forgot the name but there is also a "Professional" version of this one, I click on the default date/time/appointment icon.
At the bottom I click on Alarms.
I go to the first alarm and set it.
I go to the 2nd alarm and set it.
Alarm #2 worked one of the 2 days I set it for.
Alarm #1 did not work at all.
I also checked the box "Sound alarms even when the device is set to vibrate or silent."
Any suggestions or should I just throw this phone in the river!!!
I am getting close to that point.
Nearly broke my phone last night , the dam snooze went off about a million times ,
why the hell is there no option to disable it?. How do i disable , i have the stock alarm on my phone . not looking to get another alarm app as of yet .
Can somebody please help me ?
goto clock app then slide to the alarm area, then uncheck the alarms
--press menu and settings if you want more advanced options
thanks for the quick reply CodeNameUnknown1 , i have already checked the advanced option there is no way of disabling snooze 5minutes is the shortest time possible
Not sure what you mean?
When my alarm goes off (stock 1.72.405.3) its pull down on the touchscreen to permanately turn the alarm off for the day without activating any snooze time?
AFAIK there's no way to completely remove/disable the snooze functionality from the HTC alarm. You might have to choose between getting a different alarm app, or just making sure you turn the alarm off instead of snoozing in the morning
I have an alarm everyday, .... , i just slide it down, and its gone. i dont know where your problem is. Maybe trying to reinstall the clock.app from your ROM might help
I am not sure if this happened to anyone else, but after I updated, it reset and turned off my alarm clock. I only noticed because I checked, as I don't have my alarm set on the weekend.
Just a heads up if you use the phone as your primary alarm, check it out and make sure it's still set.
