I've tried the alarm function (Settings/System/Clock/Alarm), but it wasn’t reliable. So I switched it off again.
Now I here the alarm everytime I reboot my MDA Pro.
What’s wrong?
Try checking your "Notification Queue" for a calendar/alarm entry which hasn't been cleared. You can use software such as Memmaid or SKTools to view this. I personally prefer the first one.
Click on the first notification and see when this was due - if this falls in the past you should be able to just delete this.

Tnx! - Worked...

wow that sound like the problam i had a while back. i would get tons of random alarms right after a reboot. but it went away after i removed BBConnect., but come to think of it i stopped using the alarm clock at the same time too. i wonder which one it was.
I have captivate that runs on Firefly froyo ROM. I have an alarm set in my phone that is supposed to sound every morning. But when I reboot my phone everytime for replacing the spare battery, the alarm is not re activated. In simple works, alarm scheduled to sound everyday does not reactivate itself after reboot. Have to open the alarm, disable it and again enable to reactivate it.
Any solution for this. Also any app that solves the problem? Same thing happens with calendar reminder events. After reboot, the calendar reminder events do not work. HAve to go to the calendar app for it to activate. Any alternate apps for the problem?
Sorry if this is the wrong forum but i posted in the question and answer section and got no responses....
I can't seem to get the alarm to work right on my phones. I had the mytouch 3g and now i have the nexus one. They never consistently work. I've tried searching but all the solutions i seem to find are to either download a different alarm and exclude it from whatever task killer app you have.
Is the alarm a different process than the clock app? because for the last 3 nights i have gone to bed with the phone plugged in and the clock app running and the alarm has only worked once. The clock app displays the next scheduled alarm, but this morning my alarm was supposed to go off at 7:50am but never did. I woke up at 8:30 and the clock app still said that an alarm was scheduled for wednesday(today) at 7:50am.
Mine buzzed fine this morning at 6:04 and I even had the phone on silent. I'm using the default ringtone (Ringing Alarm).
Do you have a program that's killing it? I don't use any of those Task Manager programs.

I have a task manager app but its not set to auto kill, and i put my phone on the clock app and use it as a clock when i go to bed
When you programmed the alarm, what ringtone did you set for the alarm? Or is it set to only vibrate? You may have selected a ringtone that doesnt work?
i use Fade In, its on my memory card but it has definitely worked before. but its not like the alarm goes off without any sound, it just doesn't come up at all

Try it without that task manager just to make sure it's not it that's killing it. I don't know the ins and outs of the OS but this clock app is new I think with 2.1 so that task manager might not be 100 % compatible with it.
Ive used mine for a week now and its gone off every time. Its hard to figure out what youre doing wrong without seeing you do it. Try just using the default settings for everything.

It's likely to be that.. Nothing should be killing apps except the OS, which knows about the application lifecycle. Having apps loaded that kill things when they feel like it is asking for trouble.

The alarm is a process within the app. Try un-installing it at least that way you would know for sure.
I've had the same problem and been late for a test at uni :S (Using Sense UI) I go to the clock, turn the alarm off, then turn it back on, it says 'this alarm is set to go off in 6 hours blah blah" then I turn the screen off and go to sleep, but if I use taskiller it sometimes doesn't go off, even when the clock app's ignored
if you choose the vibrate option then the alarm does not sound. thats my experience
I've never had the vibrate option on.
And I've noticed too that if I go into the alarm setting and back out so that it displays the message, that it always goes off. Just kind of a pain to do that every night.
I don't know if its just my phone... but I miss the dedicated alarm clock function...
I rely on my n1's alarm every morning and haven't had any trouble with it. I don't run any task killers especially ones that kill "all but xxxxx" IMHO that is asking for trouble.
I stopped using task killer, in favor of 'quick system info'. Which has the ability to end applications but only does so on your explicit input. (I have an absolute disdain for MP3 store auto running itself, i'd rip it out of the OS, but I don't want to root my phone just yet.) I haven't had any issues with the alarm in either case however.
I thought I was on crazy pills! Ever since I got my N1, I've overslept every day! I just ran a test this morning and changed the alarm time from 4am to 8am and it went off perfectly. I have vibrate selected and run task killer as well. I never thought that task killer would be able to kill a clock event, so now Ill try running a different task manager as suggested.
Edit: I just noticed that Advanced Task Killer has an Ignore App option, I've now ignored the clock app and will test.
I've been using advanced task killer, but I unchecked the Clock and it seems to be working fine now, still using my iPhone alarm clock though... don't want to be late for work!
So people who use task killing apps are surprised tasks are being killed? lol awesome.
Have you guys having issues installed anything like locale or timerrific? timerrific has default profiles that will change your ringer/volume settings.

lol indeed! Keep in mind, on Windows Mobile, the alarm is triggered by an OS notification service, not the alarm app itself. So who'd huv thunk it would work any different?
For some reason, none of my SMS programs will vibrate even when I tell them to... SMS Pop-up, CHOMPSMS and the default messaging won't vibrate. The Missing Call app in the market will vibrate though so anyone have an idea as to what the problem is?
mine is the same way. don't understand it. seems to have started with the update
I have noticed with the newest (5.0.1 and 5.0.2) update from cyanogen whenever I flash either his ROM (or my theme which uses his ROM as a base) that I have to go into the messaging app and re-check the vibrate option.
Weird - this occurs on mine also on all messaging apps. I have rooted with the new update (not the newest one that isn't OTA yet). Any advice?
Anyone have any fixes? I noticed that notifications for other apps don't vibrate as well; Gmail and mobile package tracker specifically.
i found a solution by trolling other forums. install 'sound manager' from the market. open it, hit the menu soft key, and select the vibration settings option. when that opens, set it up however you want. tested it, and now i have vibration with sms again! sounds like it is some extra work, but whatever. it works
You are my hero! that fixed it!

it happened to me once .. I did a Clear Storage (aka Hard Reset) via fastboot (hold down volume + power) and it WORKED.

oooo crap that's true... oo wait, IT DOESN'T WORK...
no, it didn't work for me, and doesn't for several people. the sound manager app fixed it. trust me. try it out.
Use handcent lol, Vibrate works great for me lol.
Confirmed - issue occurs on ANY rom as soon as Handcent is installed. Sound board or wipe is only way to resolve.
sound manager app fixes. see my post above
Alright, I got my Slide yesterday, and overall I am happy, but here are some things I have found. If anyone can help solve any of these issues, I will be indebted. This are in no particular order, just as I can remember them!
1. Can the LED change colors? My 3rd party apps have been unable to change the color.
2. MyModes:
Can I manually enter the location at which I wish the mode to change? Right now I need to be physically at the location for it to recognize that is where I want the mode to change.
Can I change the ringtone to vibrate instead of silent under mymode settings?
3. Custom notification ringtone: I can see the ringtones I have put on my SD card in some apps, but not in others. For instance, in Gmail - I cannot get my custom ringtone to show up in avaialbe ring tones, but I see it in other apps.
4. My GPS is ALWAYS searching
5. MyFaves: How do I turn off the notification for myfaves activity? CAn you turn my faves off?
6. Can you turn Sense (Expresso Sense, TMO sense, whatever they are calling it) off? Too many duplicate apps (mail, gmail, htc mail, music, htc music, 3 different messaging apps)
7. The messaging icon always displays an unread message, even tho I have read the message.
Thats all I have come up with, or can remember. What "bugs" have others found/fixed? Any one heard of an update to correct some of these bugs?
Thanks

this happend to me a simple restart solved the problem. this also happend on htc touchflo 2d, 3d on windows mobile so im going to say this is a htc bug.
A bug I noticed: plug in the USB, and there's 3 different modes: sdcard access, sync, and charge only. Setting it to charge only launches the sync software on the PC, setting it to sync mode does not. Also, it seems to turn USB debug mode off and on by itself.
try ringdroid. also do you have the folder structure correct in your sdcard for the notification sounds.
I have them like in my G1 - in a media/audio/ringtone, notification, and alarms
i dont have this problem. make sure your gps is switched to be active and not just use cell towers
Reboot corrected the issue.

Seems inconvienient that I would have to rebooteverytime to correct this
Another thing that has come up - My Homescreen is not rotating (yes it is set to) unless I open the keyboard (which is loose already).

Not a bug. That's what it's supposed to do. Go go 2.1 and sense UI. You can set the default action for this in your settings
Menu > Settings > Connect to PC.
************
I have noticed, the keyboard backlight doesn't always light up. I'll go to respond to a sms and the backlight for the menu buttons and the keyboard doesn't light up.
The keyboard is lit based on the light sensor. No light, it's on. Enough light, it kicks off.
here's a bug that i noticed, at least i think it's a bug. volume rocker/ringer volume does not control the notification volume(aka txt messages). any ideas on that one?
wasn't a problem on my cliq(which was my first android phone, slide is my second)
Had something last-night ping me when I was messin with home screens. After going back to SenceUI app icons were being selected with out my hand touching the screen, it happened about 4 times. Didnt activate the icon, just highlighted it, and would go away when I would select something else.
I thought it was my case or something, cause I was holding it, but then I saw wesgamer say something similar to the touchscreen messing up as well.
It was small and brief, but note worthy none the less.

Im also having this issue, happened on Home screen and DeskClock. DeskClock is fixed by Opening the keyboard, letting it go horizontal, and then closing the keyboard. Home screen, not so much.
I've run into a couple little bugs too...
Sometimes a text message thread will become out of order (the message I sent gets placed below the message I received as a response).
It also hapened in the very beginning when I only had a few texts in total on the phone so I dont think its related to having too many mesages stored.
A couple times the screen decided to scroll all the way up or down without cause. It has only scrolled down in a text thread and only up on a web page (XDA actually). I had a hell of a time trying to read something from the middle of a text thread! haha
I have had the messaging icon read 1 and all of them be read. I have also had the messages get out of order if text are sent back and forth between a minute.
I have one contact with a different ringtone and that ringtone never goes off, always the default one.
I've also had a problem with sd mounting, I had mine set to charge only and I hooked it up to my laptop and no option would come out to mount. I tried changing the setting to automatically mount and that didn't work either. A restart did.
Lastly, I had a theme downloaded from the theme site and had it as my installed theme. I went to the theme selection page and uninstalled the theme while still having it set as my theme and this made the phone crash and restart.
slvrblt - same thing happens to me
turboyo - I have had the messaging icon read 1 and all of them be read. I have also had the messages get out of order if text are sent back and forth between a minute.
i have that happen too. anyone not have their phone vibrate when text messages are received when vibrate mode is selected?
also sometimes when i'm writing a text message the cursor will jump around, anyone experience that?
this is a great phone with so many little dumb problems lol
The stock messaging app is garbage compared to Handcent and Chomp.
I was able to get rid of the duplicate Faves notification, but I can't remember how. Helpful, huh? I did go through the built-in "Manage Applications" via Settings and did some Force Stop on the redundant apps. I also went through via the Tools in Astro with Process Manager and took out a few things. So far, it seems as the management of processes being run is not as efficient as stock Android. Using the same process managers as on my G1, I always have much, much more to kill in the Slide. This has beat up my battery life and stopping several of these "unused" items has helped, but some apps have caused processes from several other apps to run and bloat the memory.
A couple other people mentioned it but Rindgdroid for creating notifications: sdcard/media/audio/notifications. Most of the things I've done I saved as a notification. I've used the pre-installed Voice Recorder then opened up that saved file in Ringdroid and saved as a 'Notification'. It's then shown up via Settings/Notifications in K9 Mail and the Gmail app. I have not tried this for other types of notifications.
So far, I love the phone. The standard "complaints" but have really taken to Swype as an alternate to the keyboard, especially for shorter messages. Genius is super. This is a phone that desperately needs a custom ROM though to help alleviate the excess stuff.
I haven't added or changed any apps recently. But today, my phone has started sounding the default notification tone about every 3 minutes or so, any time I have a notification icon on my phone. Sometimes even when there's no icon displayed. The only way I've been able to get it to stop is to turn off ALL notifications in ALL apps.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this before, or have any idea what I might look at?
Thanks.

You can try to silent the sound settings/sound/silent
um....why not restart .-. could just be a glitch what are your installed apps if u dont mind me asking.....
I've restarted multiple times. I'm not exactly new at this. Restarting did nothing. As I said, the only way to stop it is to turn off all notifications.
However, after trying lots of things, I used the "Reset settings" option in the Backup and Restore menu. That seems to have resolved it. I still have no idea what triggered it, as I haven't change any settings in weeks.

Yeah, that might have worked, but I didn't want to silence all notifications, just the meaningless, repeated sound that didn't appear to be tied to anything specific.
