I did do a quick search, but couldn't find owt, but can't believe I'm the only person with problem.
I use the supplied Clock & Alarms for my alarm clock, but sometimes if I'm using something else on the phone, or already have notifications like missed calls when my alarm is due to go off, if will still sound, and vibrate, but won't come up with a message about it. Giving me no option to turn the thing off!!!
So it will go off fow a minute or two, then go quiet, then every five minutes will repeat, again with no message.
Even if I reset the device it will still continue.... I either have to wait for a message to come up, which can take 30+minutes, or if I get really annoyed with it clean reset it :-/
If anyone does know how I can get rid of this error, or what file I can load to give me the message, it will be much appreciated!!!
alarms and repeating alarms are well known to be highly unreliable.
spb pocket plus has an add in to assist with repeating alarms, but I never found it much help.
may i suggest you dont repeat them, this is a big problem.
mine got so bad after a while I had no choice but hard reset. it messed up all the system notifications and just became plain unreliable.
Yes, I've had exactly the same problems and also with Spb Pocket Plus repeating alarms too.
I've since disabled this option which has made things bettr but still not perfect

at least your alarm goes off, mine does not. an expensive device like the xda exec and a simple thing like the alarm wont work after new o2 rom update
:? :?
Does that mean if I use alarms, but don't select "repeat sound", that may be better?
I upgraded to the i-Mate ROM, and TWICE now the notification queue has died for the calupd.exe and calnot.exe. Adding appointments with alarms make no additions to the notification queue, hence I miss all my alarms.
The only fix so far has been to hard reset, and wait for the next time the notification queue dies.
Are you using Sprite Backup?
I found it to be the culprit and I have switched to SBP Backup now.
Sprite CRMdesk will give you a patch "PostBootPopup.exe" if requested that helps the problem. It solves the many notifications in the queue that can't be cleared or dismissed normally. But the issue of not waking for any alarms remained for me with Sprite 5 - even with this patch.
works perfect for me!
I just added my own sound file which has a little more agressive waking properties ;-)
If you're stuck with an invisible alarm you cant get rid off, you can use scarybear's "check notifications" proggie and take out the notification which has messed up....

But be warned, if you are careful it can work, but I got aggressive and frustrated.
The only, hard reset. There are some you can, some you cant.
Bewarned.
Hello,
Playing around with the standard alarm clock on my PPC has led me to run late for several important meetings. From what I think what has happened is that i have set the alarm clock and it has not gone off. For some strange reason it doesnt go off when you want it but goes off when your in the middle of a phone call after the set time ! As an example, if i get a call 3 hours later, thats when it goes off.
Anyway, trying to turn the alarm off in the middle of a phone call is another nightmare. I have to put up with it until i soft reset the device.
So....out it goes !
In their wisdom, does anyone have any alternatives to the standard alarm clock ? I don't really want it to do anything fancy. Just go off when it is supposed to, have some better alarm tones, and maybe have a snooze feature for those times i want to get another 5 minutes sleep lol.
try using spb time... you can also use an mp3 as alarm tone
try the MortPlayer...

thank....spb time is working perfectly
I dont remember this happening pre-cupcake. I am a heavy sleeper, sometimes dont even hit the snooze, just let the alarm ring and ring until I get my butt up. Since upgrading to 1.52, the alarm goes off after 10 minutes. It displays red text stating "Alarm automatically shut off after 10 minutes". WTF? There isnt a setting to change this.
Anyone know a way to change this or possible another alarm program (that’s better)?
Klaxon alarm works great, been using it since the free version and i love it. since you use a JF rom the paid version will still work fine if you don't happen to have a free version on your comp
I set the alarm and it simply did not work.
Here is what I did:
From one of my panels, forgot the name but there is also a "Professional" version of this one, I click on the default date/time/appointment icon.
At the bottom I click on Alarms.
I go to the first alarm and set it.
I go to the 2nd alarm and set it.
Alarm #2 worked one of the 2 days I set it for.
Alarm #1 did not work at all.
I also checked the box "Sound alarms even when the device is set to vibrate or silent."
Any suggestions or should I just throw this phone in the river!!!
I am getting close to that point.
Nearly broke my phone last night , the dam snooze went off about a million times ,
why the hell is there no option to disable it?. How do i disable , i have the stock alarm on my phone . not looking to get another alarm app as of yet .
Can somebody please help me ?
goto clock app then slide to the alarm area, then uncheck the alarms
--press menu and settings if you want more advanced options
thanks for the quick reply CodeNameUnknown1 , i have already checked the advanced option there is no way of disabling snooze 5minutes is the shortest time possible
Not sure what you mean?
When my alarm goes off (stock 1.72.405.3) its pull down on the touchscreen to permanately turn the alarm off for the day without activating any snooze time?
AFAIK there's no way to completely remove/disable the snooze functionality from the HTC alarm. You might have to choose between getting a different alarm app, or just making sure you turn the alarm off instead of snoozing in the morning
I have an alarm everyday, .... , i just slide it down, and its gone. i dont know where your problem is. Maybe trying to reinstall the clock.app from your ROM might help
