Universal rings every 11.45PM

My Universal rings every night, 15 min before midnite, because I have "All day appoinment" set up in Outlook for the next day.
I never had this before my all my other XDAs, only with Universal or may be its true to say with WM5.
Anyone has a workaround/solutions?

This may seem a little obvious, but . . . do you have reminders set on those all day appointments? Have you tried turning them off? I can think of no other reason why they would be alarming.

lie_ui, sorry but didnt you say that was the best time to call?

Try BRosenow comments.
The default reminder time for appointments is 15 minutes. If you set a reminder for an all day event then 12:00am is the time it starts and then 11:45pm would be the reminder. Coincidental? Prolly not. Also that means that your schedule might be off. In outlook you might need to adjust your day start and end time. Default is from 08:00 to 17:00 if you have like 00:00-24:00 then that could be it too.

March 1st possible date bug

So, i have my Alarm on my nexus One set up to go off at 6:45AM every Workday (Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri)
Today it didn't go off, i woke up at 6:47AM as my alarm didn't go off (my internal watch is pretty good )
Usually it vibrates and gives the alarm tone. This morning.. nothing.
So after reading the news i saw that there was a huge Date Bug in the Playstation Network due to the leap year.
So i jumped to the conclusion that Android or the alarm app has a similar date bug.
Anyone experienced something similar? Any dev input here?

No date bug here. I literally watched it go from Feb 28 to March 1.

My alarm went off today.

strange.
what networks are you guys on?
I'm on AT&T.
EDIT: one more question, do you have the alarm set for every day or is it like me for each single day?

I am on t-mobile USA and I have my alarm set for 11am every day. And today it went off like normal and with me hitting the snooze button repeatedly lol.

haha same thing happend to me.. live in sweden.

Weird. I have my alarm set for 6am PST today (M-F) and the alarm didn't go off either... Woke up at 6:24am after realizing my "rooster" alarm didn't go off.
I thought it was a fluke until I saw this thread. WEIRD.
(On T-Mobile USA, locked Bootloader, Stock ROM on this unit).
Cheers,
Kermee

so i guess it's carrier unrelated..
but something's wrong there
would you mind posting your incident here kermee?

My Alarm did go off. I have my alarm set for 6am MST (M-F). I'm on Cyanogen 5.0.3.1.

My alarm went off at 06:50 (GMT) as per usual.

Mine worked the way it was supposed to, who needs alarm if internal alarm us as good as that? LOL.

all stock nexus, alarm went off at its normal time today

I've alarm set for Mon-Fri, it worked fine for me...

May be a shot in the dark, but if you're using a task killer be sure to have 'clock' excluded. Being that your alarms usually go off this is unlikely, but possible.
FWIW my alarm went off as scheduled at 745 EST

I have a weekday profile and a weekend profile. Alarm went off today at 7:30 per my weekday profile. No problems. Running Cy's latest 5.0.4.1.

DVP DST bug or WP7 bug

Folks, Can you check your DVP time and the actual time today from google. My DVP time zone is set to 05-Eastern US and canada. As of this writing, the current time in DVP is 8:45am. The time as per google and other time sites is 7:45AM. Without DST applied, it is 6:45AM..Can't understand how the DVP shows +2 hrs when DST is in effect.
Edit: It looks like its a minor bug. The DST doesn't work off the get go automatically. Once i went into settings and came back to main screen (or used the phone for couple of minutes), the Time is synced.
================FOR MS==============
Sequence of event (this is for MS to troubleshoot):
1. Set Alarm to ring on weekends @ 7:45AM
2. Sunday 13th Mar 2011 came, alarm rang. Woke up and saw the time on the Device, it said 8:45AM
3. Was pissed that i am late by 1 hr. Booted up my computer and time popped up as 7:45(+/-5 min).
4. Checked my WP7 device again, still said 8:45AM.
5. Went into alarm and checked and came back to main screen and after 10 min, time says 7:55AM.
My inference:
1. Either Alarm is following a time clock on its own or it is not DST applied.
2. OS is not syned with timeserver(?) until one uses the phone?
=============FOR MS==================

My DVP showed the correct -5 Eastern shift BUT my alarm, set for 7am, went off at 8am (adjusted, it was 7am if the time change hadn't happened). I think we may be seeing the same thing. Once my alarm went off, then the time may have updated (the alarm woke me up, so I don't know what it read before that).
I then set a single a alarm, and that happened without a hitch. I didn't mess with my daily 'work' alarm, but added a second one one minute later just in case to track this issue.
I feel bad if this is a bug that's making anyone late for work today.

Yep, same for me...The Alarm was set for 7:45am and it went of @ 8:45am. I think the internal clock might be fine, just the display time is screwed up or buggy.

mines is correct

I'm not sure whats going on with you guys but I don't seem to have this. my time is displayed correctly with no change or intervention from me. I woke up this morning to the right time displayed on my phone. plus I did not have an alarm problem.
I'm using an HD7, not a dell venue pro. don't know if that makes a difference.

It might be just a DVP issue as well. One other thing to note is this bug happens only in a small windows of time (may be 5-10 min or less). So it is very easy to not notice by many. Also If one has the lock screen turning on all time - this might not happen - that's my guess.
Non Bad part - The alarm goes off fine, but time is shown wrong.
Bad part - If one had any appts/tasks to do said day, they might thing that they are 1 hr late and thier alarm screwed up - only to realize later that all is well and WP7 made fun of them.

Late
Just confirming, my alarm was set to 7h00 and went off at 8h00 and when you go into the alarm config it shows it was set to 7h00.

No such bug bugging my DVP.
Strange bugs keep popping out every now n then with dvp.

Seems like the few of us that had this happen had alarms set on Sunday. The rest may not have used it to wake up today.
It will be interesting to see if it's just the DVP or a widespread deal with WP7.

Alarms - erratic

I have 5 alarms set.
3 for week days that go off as following:
6:20 am with Smart Alarm
6:25 am
6:30 am
Weekdays in this country are from Sunday to Thursday
2 Alarms for weekends:
8:30
8:50
I've noticed that they randomly get turned off and days deactivated.
So obviously I have the above 3 for 5 working days.
This morning only the 6:20 am alarm worked.
When I checked, I found the 6:25 and 6:30 had Sunday turned off.
This happened last week also but can't remember which ones.
I noticed the same thing for the weekend alarm.
One of them had Saturday deactivated.
Im unsure whats happening.

Have you ticked "Repeat Weekly"?, cause if you don't, then the pattern doesn't continue the following week...
See this screenshot from an S2 ↓

Thanks for assisting me.
No I did not have "repeat weekly" enabled.
I do not remember doing that with my Note.
I've enabled it.
Thanks!

Any way to set alarm WITH OUT specific day?

Hey guys, I knew this was going to happen as soon as i got this phone, but I ended up being late for work today because of the alarm... is there anyway to set an alarm WITHOUT having to set a specific day, like on my old evo and evo3d and darn near every thing else you can just set an alarm for 345am and it will go off on the next instance of 345 am, instead of 345am on Monday, then if I want the alarm to go off at that time again later in the week I can just turn it back on instead of having to remember to change the day, usually it isn't a problem but the one time I forget to change the day it is really bad

Just click on the "repeat" button and it will go off every next instance of that time just as you want! You can set multiple alarms as well.

That would only work though if you click every day Mon tues Wed... and repeat weekly, I was hoping to be able to just set a one time alarm. Which I could use later with out having to set the day for it as well

That's it, you just said it lol. Select each day, and select repeat weekly. That's exactly what I do and I never touch my alarm. Dont feel bad, that's happens to me all the time lol. So i set 2 alarms on my phone(45mins apart) and one on my normal clock.
