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.

Ok this is really bugging the crap out of me. Last week I was messing around with my phone trying out the alarms that come with the standard rom, nothing special. I renamed one of the alarms "Travel" and set it to go off at 6:15am every morning of the week. I tried it out and it worked fine, etc. Long story short, now the stupid alarm is going off every morning, even though I unchecked it and even unselected every day of the week under the alarm properties. Any ideas???????

ok so i set my alarm for 7:00am this morning and it just didnt go off...luckily my mum woke me up anyway but still its very unreliable...anyone else had this issue? maybe its linked to my sms message problem? thanks
the alarm on my X1i has been working flawlessly and waking me up every day at the specified time of 7am...i wish mine didn't work so i wouldn't have to wake up that early!
Be sure to have "Let Alarmsignal ring, even if the device is turned on silent or vibrate only" (i dont know what the official text is but im just losely translating from english.
You should find this option with the Clock and Alarmsignal settings under the Tab More.
Also i suggest setting 2 or 3 alarms.. maybe that will help.. ;P
Mine too, some times it simply doesn't go off (specially if more than one alarm are set).
i wake up before it has to anyway but it's still annoying!
and no, that option doesn't help at all, i tried it.
I'm using the free G-Alarm since October last year and it reliably woke me up every morning.

been using G alarm. no problem.
G Alarm has already failed me twice... helping me get late for work!
I really like it but if i have a real important apointment i use another cell phone with another alarm, i simply can't rely on any of the X1's alarm system alone...

Sorry to say that, but it seems to be your fault then.
G-Alarm works reliable and fine.
Just be sure the alarm is set active and at the right days and the ringtone is available and set to 100% volume.
Also let G-Alarm fix the Windows Mobile Alarm Bug and force to put the sound through the speaker even if the phone's set to silent or vibrate only.
Did you tell it to ring EVERY DAY? I forget this every "first" time on a new phone and the alarm dows not work. It only rings when you tell it to do.
I knew it wasn't just me!
Sometimes it will go off fine
Sometimes it will just vibrate and then do nothing else
Other times it won't go off at all
I can't seem to find a pattern to it, it just seems completely temperamental and is far to unreliable.
As for g-alarm that's far too annoying. It went off while my phone was on silent on a train. Had loads of puzzles and mazes and doesn't stop ringing until you have done them. I pulled out the battery, turned it back on and the alarm went off before the phone had even booted up!
sometimes this problem occurred for me with the custom roms being developed but with the original and the r2a roms I have not had an issue
yep, done all that and i have wm all fine tuned, and as i said, only failed twice over a month or so on a week day configuration with no changes made to it, but enough for me to not fully trust it anymore, be it problem with G Alarm or windows problem...

You can turn those snooze games off , it's just if you want it to really wake you up . Anyway G-Alarm works well for me so far. With the standard I had issuses, even on my older Magician. This one period it only sounded this ding sound repeatadly and refused to play the sound file which of course was in place. Weird stuff, but G-Alarm is awesome, it even allows you to set random MP3s from a playlist you set up. Waking up with a different DnB tune every day
Yes i have a feeling ill have the same issue as Elusivo...no alarm whether it be the standard or g-alarm will be 100% reliable on my X1. Glad i'm not alone but quite annoyed because that is one of my most important things...this along with text messages not always sounding or being displayed until messinging is opened up makes the phone a little difficult to love sometimes.
To me it seems everyone's X1 is slightly different....some have physical issues like cracking etc, whilst others have things that don't work as well as someone elses X1. I find it very strange. I guess these are my issues!

yes, exactelly
as far as i remember, i also faced this on my SE P910i, also same problem!
i barely sleep, and if the phone only vibrates i wake up, but mostly it doesnt!
i will try GAlarm, let's see.
+1 for G-alarm here.
I tried several different progs before settling with G.
I cannot think of an instance where it has let me down, without it being my own stupid fault.
As said before, you can switch off the mazes and puzzles, and just use it as a standard alarm, with/without snooze.
Best piece of freeware i have got, i think.
Why does WinMo standard alarm suck so badly?
Have MS forgotten to update it all this time?
Alarm
You have any idea how i can add in me xperia more alarm tone.?
I have never had any problems with the alarms. They are right on time.
i tried mine set for this morning. no problems yet. ill test it a whole week or so and see how it goes.
standard nam rom for my x1a.
I gave up on the built-in alarm and I've been using SPB Time which I'm very happy with!
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).

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.
I've recently started to have odd time related things happen on my HD2. Alarms set for 4:45, for instance, go off at 3:45 (not always; just occasionally). With my local time set to US Central Daylight Savings, times for other zones, including Eastern in the US and Central America are off by an hour (fast).
Anyone have an idea of what settings I should check?
The real oddity is that these times change from day-to-day or even during the same day. Today for instance, the times in other zones were off in the morning, but show correctly this afternoon.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Is this a custom ROM? I know I've seen several chefs posting changelogs like "Timezone issue fixed, hopefully" lately.

Standard ROM. This morning all times are correct. ??? Can't figure it out.
could it be your pc is causing it? i once came across a situation where the user had chosen 'no' when his pc had asked him 'do you want to automatically adjust for summer time', and he set the pc time manually himself, , but this then sent his phone wacky because it WAS trying to auto adjust, but every time he synced it would move back an hour, and then re adjust when he restarted it (the phone), and so half the time it was an hour different than the PC.
Probably a long shot, but your post brought it to mind.

I have my PC clock set to automatically adjust for DST. So far today everything is correct. Just plain odd.
Thanks for your reply.

are You experimenting with android? it's my main suspect. on my device I set g-alarm for 5:00 am just to be surprised with alarm at 6:00 am. :/
today I am testing my hd2 again w/o any androboots during the day. we shall see...
just to let You know, today everything was as it should be. ... I don't like android that much anyway...
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.
