Hi All,
Is it just me that has issues with the alarm clock on the HD2?
Sometimes when i turn it off, say on a day off from work when i want to catch up on my sleep, it fails to work when it gets turned back on again. (like it did this morning!)
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks
the alarm clock isnt very good at all...it did the same to me except it would fail to go off when i had work! ive been using galarm ever since. you should give that a try, its $6.99 in the marketplace, best app ive purchased there.
I'm glad that its not just me
I'll try and find galarm, thanks for the recommendation.

i have liberated my shift successfully.
i used the alarm on the snapvue side once. after that i have deactivated the alarm again.
but for some reason the alarm comes up every day, even the alarm is switched of in settings (snapvue) and settings (windows mobile).
anybody has a clue what could be the problem?
is there a registry setting i can change to disable the alarm?

Had the same problem.
Solved it by playing with all the three alarms somewhat. I think I switched them off and on.
Maybe i changed the times.
Sorry that I cannot remember what I did but it is solved now.will, of course never use it again.
It was the very first time I used it. Maybe that was the reason.
Huib
this happened to me while using only snapvue, no liberation pack no nothing. I fixed it only by a hard reset.
I had the problem too, with unmodified Snapvue. It was the first time that I had used an alarm. I remember Shagcontrol Snapvue reset not fixing it. But I think a Snapvue settings reset fixed it.
I haven't used alarms again so I don't know if it will be a problem again.
Had this problem on my Prophet.
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Clock\, You will see keys 0,1,2 - these are the three alarms you can set - delete the one that's causing you problems. If you don't know which one then delete all three. The alarms will be reset.
ehm, i've put the alarm to ring at 8 am during workdays to remind me to wake up and go to work. The alarm was working fine and I got to work in time, daily. But... last saturday I was free. And I was sleeping at 8 am. Damn thing begun to ring and make noise. That's a huge bug man, I woke up at 8 am and had a awfull long day.
Poss solution
This sort of thing used to happen with WM2003 on my XDA Orbit. I used an app called Wakeuptweak which solved the issues with the alarms. The sdame thing is happening to me with the Shift so I am going to give it a go and see if it helps. Will let you know the result.
Correction - it was on my XDA2 not Orbit. Silly me!

i do not want this happen to me....
Brand new HTC HD2, No software or any tweakings, nothing.
Alarm set to wake me up this morning.
Woke up an hour later, phone was on, alarm screen was on display with the machine freezed, had to soft reset. What the hell is that? This is a brand new nothing installed device. A simple thing as an alarm clock freezes the device?
Anyone experiences same problem?
I had the same problem, but with galarm.I never thought this can happen with the original software.It should be bugs free...
I get a similar problem sometimes with GAlarm. Luckily for me, it sets the alarm off then freezes up. That gets you out of bed believe me
The screen is on, with the time displayed and what looks like one of the balls from the maze/snooze function in the very top right hand corner. You can't do anything to get rid of the screen. I had to press the Home hard key then end task GAlarm to get it to stop. So it's not totally frozen up but GAlarm is fubard

Maybe a new function from g-alarm .
I don't have the problems you (all) are having, even with g-alarm. It's working like a charm on my HD2 orignal WWE 1.66 rom.
You guys/girls got all patches etc installed?
What kind of patches?
Doesn't 1.66 come with them already in?
I'm using BsBTweaks 1.6.
I think mine might be a setting within GAlarm. I quite often get an error while setting up alarms, usually either when adding tracks or when I get right to the end and save it. But it is there and set up when I next go in. I'm using GAlarm 2.3.
Never had this problem with my HD2. However it happened often with my HTC Touch Diamond. Maybe it has something to do with a specific device, dunno. Anyway just in case I have one alarm set on my iPod Touch so there's always at least one device that will wake me up. Maybe you should hard reset your phone or smth... Did you tweak your soft in some way? Edited the registry?
just this morning, fir the first time, the alarm clock didn't trigger. Had it set for 8:40, all days of the week active, obviously alarm was active, vibration was off.
I had a gut feeling that it MAY not work, so I setup the other phone at 9am just in case... as expected, the other phone woke me up, the hd2 didn't... but no freezes nor anything, simply no alarm sounded...
same for me. hd2. it has to do with
1. the windows lock screen
2. galarm
3. backlight/device timeout settings while locked
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
nothing like a frozen device MID alarm forcing you to pull the battery, and restart, etc
I have the same problem. But i will try something i found. Since the problem occurs occasionally I cannot reproduce the error and post a result. Maybe you can try and share the results too.
There's an option in G-Alarm settings that says "Turn backlight off during an alarm after x seconds". I will disable this feature.
I'm also using S2U2. This feature may interfere with S2U2.
Cheers
Well I am not using G alarm or any other app. Its just plain WM 6.5 alarm. I have tried it on 4 different ROM(stock) and other and I get same result.
If I don't reset my phone before going to bed at night, I will get this issue in the morning that my phone will be frozen during the alarm.
Any advice?
Try these, it should help freezing problems with htc hd2 and galarm
allthese settings are in galarm settings option
1)Disable "turn backlight off during snooze"
2) Disable "turn backlight off during an alarm after x secomds"
3)Disable "show flightmode function"
4) Disable "unlock the device"
I also have the same problem, sometimes the WM alarm fails to sound the alarm, the phone says that it has gone off, but no alarm sounds.
Have done some research, and it sounds like a fault with WM, the phone "wakes" its self at ~03:00 for 30seconds to schedule all its tasks for the day, BUT if it takes too long scheduling other tasks, it cant do the alarm call due to running out of time.
i'm new of HTC TD2. my clock time changes all the time when it goes sleep mode and i press the power button and want to make a phone call, i need to adjust the time back. this is really annoying me coz it means i can't use this mobile as my alarm at all.
can anyone help me? I've already read the thread in the forum. but still can't find the solution. Thanks heaps.
Same thing is happening for me. This is the second Pure that I have owned and it seems like the time doesn't "keep up". Sometimes it will be only a few minutes behind; other times, hours. It has caused me to be late for work and I now have to set 2 alarms (I hate using standard alarm clocks and their annoying beeps and prefer to wake up to music that I have set on my phone, but I need a reliable back up). I really like the phone and hate to have to send it back for the second time for the same thing, but HTC seems to think that it is AT&T's network issues (funny how no one else or any other phones in my house have this problem). I'd be interested to know how many other people are experiencing the same problem.
Play with your sync time with network setting and see if that helps.
Thanks for the reply.
i think i've solved the problem. just unticked the automatically time zone changed. and it's running fine now.
The alarm on the handset does not go off? Has anyone else had this experience.. I've set it for the whole week.. and not once has it set off the alarm?? Luckily i had a backup alarm incase this one did not work.. Surley this must have a fully working sounding alarm!!!

I have not had any problems with the alarm... have used it almost every day for three weeks now...
... But keep in mind that the alarm does not go off if you turn the device off... (that is a bit annoying, since other SonyEricsson phones support alarm while being turned off!.. However.. just set it to flight-mode instead.. problem solved!)
Regards // OwL
Are you using a task manager and killing the alarm clock?

If i set it to flight mode overnight how can i receive phone calls. My job involves me being on call on some nights.. So if the display of the phone is off you saying i can not get the alarm to sound off in the morning?

No... That was not what I meant... ofcourse having the phone on (normal, non-flight-mode) works just aswell too!.. I meant, if you usually switch off your phone at night, then the alarm wont go off!.. and instead of switching the phone completely off, one can use flight-mode instead...
Leaving the phone on (either in flight-mode or non-flight-mode) causes my alarm to work as it should.

I also had a similar issue and tracked it down to the Task-killer killing the alarm application. It took me a while to realise that the 'Clock' on my homescreen had also been stopped when using the 'task manager'. I added the clock to the ignore list and everything has worked fine since then...

I had the same problem all last week - and yeah it was my own fault as i was killing all apps with advanced task killer. Only realised that this mornig So don't kill the alarm app.....i wonder what the battery drain is by leaving it on?

Nice one cashaw.. this has worked a treat!
For me alarm is working but i don't know how to set up the phone to start the alarm when an event in calendar is about to start
Any ideas?
The alarm on my X10 is not working properly. There is a bug somewhere. On at least three occassions it failed to wake me up in the morning. This morning as well and the last thing I did before going to bed was making sure the alarm function was running. I have now tested the alarm a couple of times by creating new alarms and they all work.
btw: The one not working was set to go off every day at 07:00. It did work the first morning.

Did you try to ignore alarm in task killer/manager? Since i did that my alarm works fine and it's set to go off every day at 7 like yours.
Ya had the same problem and task killer was to blame. Would definetly start there.

That sounds about right! I think,you should use kaloer clock, much much cooler than the original one!

Right, my alarm seems to be playing up on the HD2. I have the alarm set in the week only Monday - Friday.
As I don't work weekends, I turn the alarm off, and DID double check this last night. But this morning @ 3,40am the Alarm went off?
How is this possible, when I physically turn the alarm off? Getting really on my nerves now if im honest.
happens to me too, seems to come and go.....
hard reset wont resolve it either....
edit;
hard reset probably did resolve it but it occured again after reinstalling all the stuff that I deem "essential"
so its probably caused by something in there....
I really cant think of any link between what I have installed and the alarm function......
That's why I use the old free version of gAlarm still. Windows alarm is unreliable. gAlarm wakes me up every time I want it to, and never when I don't.
Since the old version that I have is freeware, but the app has since become payware, I'm not sure if I can post the cab.
If I can get confirmation from a mod, I'd be happy to attach it for you
I've no answer to this other than to use SPB Time,G-alarm or Klaxon
All 3 work just fine...
I solved the problem with a £3.99 clock radio
I have NO issues at all with the alarm, BUT I set it up using the control panel not via the Manila home page, It's not failed me in months, the snooze (every 5 minutes) works, and if I leave it on it repeats every 45 seconds until I get fed up with it (normaly between 3 and 7 times)
All three alarms work, and I can set a different alarm for each of the 3
I also suffer this problem, the alarm is unreliable.
I heard you can fix it by turning off sense and setting it in windows because these values would become out of sync, but have not tried.
Klaxon resulted in crashes for me, resulting in the alarm (an mp3 file) not going off.
Just be warned in advance.

There's another alarm bug thread here where it has been tested and confirmed that it's not a sense related issue. It's Windows.
It has been said that changing volume settings after setting your alarms has a big effect on whether the alarms will behave as expected, or go off at all.
Seems changing your volume after setting the alarms messes things up, and so does having pending appointments, as Windows will play your reminder right before the alarm goes off, messing things up too.
I'm gonna go ahead and post gAlarm v1.51 in a while,after my kids go to bed. If any mods/admin have a problem with it, I'll take it down. I think it should be ok, since that version is freeware
EDIT: Here ya go guys. Hope I'm not breaking any rules here.
You might need .netFW3.5 to install/run it.
