Ok, as I understand it if you tap the alarm tab on the Sense Home page it is supposed to go to an HTC alarm app?
My HD2 does not do this. I tap the Alarm tap and it just lights up for a second. Thats it. No alarm app. The only way I've found to set an alarm is to go to settings -> all settings -> clocks and alarms and set it there.
Am I missing something?
click on the clock. then at the bottom, you have 2 choices, clock settings, and alarms.
Sadly I don't. Tried a soft reset too then tapping the clock again. Nada. I'm thinking it might have gotten f'ed up by one of the cabs I loaded.
Is there any good free alarm app for HD2 out there to download?
I downloaded Klaxon last night. Seems effective and free.

How I can change the sound of Clock alarm? It is not present in Sound and Notifications...
When you set the alarm and time, click on the alarm icon on the left of the days
But, I'd recommend you get G-Alarm insted I find it much better.
If you are using the built in alarms, click on the bell symbol in Clock & Alarms -> Alarms.
Here you can select the sound, if it repeats and whether to flash and vibrate.
omg ty
and how to add more then three alarms? I am surprised of this limit...
You can't to my knowledge.
With G-Alarm however, you can have many many alarms setup, and you have a much broader options and configs.
I highly recommend using it insted of the basic windows alarm:

It occured to me today that on my old (and beloved) XDA IIi if i didn't fill in a description when setting an alarm, it sometimes caused problems. So i thought i wonder how it works on the hd2
So i've been running an experiment for the past half hour.
1 - set an alarm using wm clocks and alarms,
2 - set another alarm using the sense alarm screen.
Result.
The wm alarm activates and plays the selected tone
The sense alarm activates but DOESNT make any noise, only the popup and the flashing LED.
I'll be setting all my alarms through the wm clocks and alarms screen from now on!
Update. I confirmed the above 4 times, with the same result, however as soon as i turned on the 'enable dismiss x time in notifications' tweak in bsbtweaks, both alarms now sound the alarm tone.
Curiouser and curiouser.
I really really love my HD2 but the only thing that I have a problem is the alarm clock. The alarm goes off and plays the notification but then doesnt repeat or a long pause between the notificatios. Is there a way to have the notification repeat till you turn off the alarm or a free alarm app alternative?
I'd love to know a good alternative app too because it doesn't seem I can select anything but the default alarm rings. I'd love to be able to play music instead
The best alarm I have found is G-alarm (not Free) but well worth the money. It allows for mp3 as alarms. do a search and you will find it
My problem with the stock alarm is that the pop up notification box no longer shows unless I tap on the notification bar first. I think it used to before I did a hard reset. Basicall when the alarm goes off I want to see that pop up box on the bottom where I can dismiss or snooze. It was so much more convenient then having to tap on the notification bar after unlocking. I also have BSB tweaks installed and have the dismiss x time option enabled.
EDIT: Found the solution in All Settings. Just had to enable the pop up.

Is it me or is there no way to set a smart alarm on the SGS for a particular date?

It's only a "smart" alarm, not a "prodigy" or "genious" alarm.
I think you're stuck with setting alarms for a week ahead at most. Unless there's a way to make a calendar entry trigger a smart alarm in some way.
Thanks..... Just needed to make sure I was not missing something.
Shame though that Samsung did not add an ability to have a 'Smart Alarm' or normal Alarm from inside the Clock App with date selection.
Using the calendar to set an Alarm is nothing and I mean nothing compared to the dedicated Clock Alarm App.
would anyone know why my alarm isn't working while in standby mode?
I have tested it (setting it a minute later) and the alarm works. but however when it has been sleeping over night, it doesn't seem to sound.
i originally thought that i was killing the clock app with task master but i made an exception to leave it running but it still didn't work.
any thoughts?
Make sure the alarm in silent mode box is checked.

i figured it out. at the time you set the alarm, you have to keep the clock app open. if at any point you close the clock app then the alarm will not sound. thanks for the help!
