if I set the alarm it goes off only sometimes yes volume is up thephone locks up
when it does go off the it goes of multipul times at once I get 4 alarms at once and have to dismiss each
I turned off alarms and they still sound I get woken up at 5 am even though I have turned alarm off and if I turn phone off it just goes off when I turn it on
is there a file where it stores the alarm settings that i can edit or a reg edit I can do
I installed alarmtoday(to try and clear alarms) and it shows a list of alarms all set at exactly the same time and i can't delete them
any help you can give would be great
search and run .. `checknotification` from scarybear(?)
Yeah mine woke me up new years morning, twice, I found removing the battery quite effective.
On a serious note, to stop it going off deselect the days, the check box does FA. Wonderful that the simplest things don't work on these bloody things.
me too on 8525
I finally quit using my alarm clock, and set a calendar reminder every day. I got tired of multiple alarms and lockups. I was leaving the phone on and then it would lock up a few minutes after the alarm went off.
pisses me off when the basic stuff I used to use on my harrier doesn't work on this darn thing. a2dp sux, lockups left and right. no cingular video...media player library problems, storage card wakeup issues, voicecommand issues...
hope aku3 with the rom update fixes some of this stuff. cingular says it will be out by feb 1st.
Hi,
I own a Touch, with the ROM version 2.81.110.1.
I have an unusual problem, my alarm is silly... recently the time went back an 1 hour.. I have 3 alarms set every morning, one at 6.35, 7.00 and 7.15! Since ive changed my time an hour back, my alarm goes off 6 times and thats at 5.35, 6.00, 6.15, 6.35, 7.00 and 7.15!
How on earth do i get rid or delete the 5.35, 6.00, 6.15 alarms? I have checked all settings and its clear that ive entered the right times... im so confused!!!!
thanks

Since the weekend when we went back to GMT my alarm goes off 1 hour early, (quite annoying)
All of the clock settings are correct
Then the alarm goes off at the correct time .
Done soft reset etc.
Also when I change the battery the clock goes back to- seemingly the last time the phone went to standby
hope there is a answer

I used MemMaid trial version http://www.dinarsoft.com/memmaid/ to clear the notification queue for windows clock
this seems to have worked , hope I remember next time the clocks go back.
more alarm Problems
as you can see above, i had a problem with the alarm,,which was solved....
But this week I am not going to work ,so I turned off my alarm for M,T W,T,F
at 0515,
But it still goes off , memmaid may clear it this time but i am going to need a permanent fix
I am going to loose sleep over this .........................
I'm using "SPB Time" instead of WM6's alarm...
it's very good...
you can get it from here,
Click
Yeah, Spb Time is great. Alarms count isn't limited, you can create one-time alarms, set ascending ringer etc. You should really try it.
The whole point of setting the alarm is that you can just leave it and know that it will go off at the assigned day and time. Unfortunately, it is just not reliable at the moment. I have already been late for work once, and have gone back to using my WinMo phone for the alarm, as at least that works every time.
It does seem to be an Android issue, I have seen it mentioned on other forums for other handsets, but I want to track down exactly what might be causing it on the Hero, and if there is a work around until HTC/Android releases fix it.
First off, the screen is switched off, but the phone is stil powered on, just like any other phone when you have the alarm set.
When I got the phone on Thursday, I set the alarm for Monday through to Friday, 10.30am.
Friday morning, the phone wakes and the alarm goes off at 10.30. Fine.
Monday morning, nothing happens. Go into the settings, check alarm set for the correct time and day, all is fine, it just didnt go off.
Tuesday morning, it works fine, phone wakes and alarm goes off at 10.30.
Wednesday morning, nothing. WinMo phone alarm wakes me at 10.34. I switch on the Hero's screen, and immediately the alarm goes off, 4 minutes late!
Last night I didnt charge it, thinking it may be an issue when being charged. But this morning it didnt work, so it is not an charging issue.
The Alarm icon was showing the top corner, so the alarm was obviously set, and the Clock App was still running (I checked in Advanced Task Killer). I will try to set it again tonight from scratch, and see if that works.
Having to set it every night would be a pain, but at least it would actually work like it is supposed to.
I've got the same issue and was about to get late for work this very morning just because of it. Luckily me I've got some sleeping disorders so I woke up before the clock should have went of either way...
HTC Needs to fix the clock in their TouchFLO..
Got somewhat the same problem...
Could a hard reset help?
A hard reset didn't do the trick for me. I really need the alarm clock to work so I think I'll buy an alarm clock app on the market, but I shouldn't have to ...
If you are using taskiller or advanced task manager, make sure you exclude the clock app from killed processes. I had this problem, when the clock came back after being killed the alarm wouldn't work even though the icon was there. Excluding it fixed it.
Cheers Ewans, i was killing the clock process and it was this that stopped my alarm this morning. Made me late! Still, i forwarded my boss this link so he could read himself. (Not that he was mad. He's a great boss!)
We should maybe think about making a list of processes, what they do and what you can/can't kill.
For instance, i don't use the Twitter widget as i find the notification bar and having Peep on my home screen just as quick and less resourceful hungry. But if you kill Peep sitting in the background, it will stop any notifications, so this needs to be left alone.
Even if I don't kill it (noticed that too), it still fails to go off sometimes.
Yes, it is not totally obvious what is going on yet.
The fix (based on one days trial!) seems to just before I sleep to go into the clock app, disable the alarm, then immediately enable it again.
This results in the "Your alarm will sound in 7 hours 10 minutes" type message.
That worked this morning, the question is if I leave it alone now, and dont kill the clock app, will it still work tomorrow? And if I restart the phone, will the Clock app and then the alarm still be running or do I have have to go into the Clock App manually?
If my clock is showing on the home page, and the alarm icon is in the top bar, I expect the alarm to go off.
It should not be possible to kill the alarm process, it shouldnt be part of the clock app at all, but a separate background process with settings controlled by the clock app, but not reliant on the clock app running.
This is what I've found out.
When you program your alarm for multiple days, it only sounds the first day.
If you uncheck and check your alarm, it will go of the next day.
This is without using TasKiller or something similar and without resetting. (just did nothing)
It looks like the multiple day option is a fake and you will have to set it every day. Allthough I haven't tried out multiple alarms, thinking about seven alarms, but you'll have to reset at least once a week.
Good luck waking up
Alarm works fine for me now, I use one for weekdays that goes off everyday, and another just on Sundays at a different time. I'm using a standard G2.
Check out the alarm volume settings.
The alarm has its own volume setting which can be change when you are inside the clock app and select the ringtone for an alarm (by pressing the standard volume up/down keys).
By accident mine was set to lowest value so it didn't go off but just vibrated.
Ok, after a week of testing, it seems that if you dont bugger around with killing the clock app via Task Killer or something else, it is fine.
I havent yet seen whether it will still be set if I completely switch off and switch on again. I will try that tonight. Even though alarm icon is shown, will the alarm be set without me going into the Clock app explicitly?
Works for for me, 2 alarms set for 6:15 & 6:30am mon - fri, never had an issue.
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.
Hello,. I have a stock Moto g5 plus that keeps missing Alarms. They simply do not go off constantly. Sometimes I get a notification of a missed Alarm. I rebooted several times. Deleted and recreated alarms, cleared the cache from the app and in recovery.
Help.

Have you tried increasing the alarm volume to the max?
Is your Clock app updated?
Is your speaker working?
Have you checked the alarm tone?

It is not a question of volume. The alarm is flat not going off. Even the OS will notice this as after the alarm as passed but failed to ring I often get a "MIssed Alarm" notification in the notifications pull down. It is as if the alarm app is being killed in the background.

Did this and it seemed to fix it until this morning. Right now I have a notification of an "Upcoming Alarm" at 06:30 am. And the time is 7:05. The alarm never went off.

I dont think that will be required for stock clock app. This should be handled automatically.

Did you tried Factory reset?

I've not done a factory reset yet. Gonna wait until the weekend to do that. Resets are such a PITA.

DUDEEEE....I literally have this exact same problem randomly!!!! This pisses me off so much, in fact....so much it led me right to this forum! This morning I just experienced the exact same thing, I randomly woke up at 6:00AM to my phone saying "upcoming alarm 4:45AM", and then the second I swipe the notification in anger, it says "missed alarm". This is very annoying because I've never had a cell phone make me late for my job so many times before. This has to be the 5th time this has happened in the 1.5 years I've owned the phone. Being late for your job is never good, let alone how dumb you sound saying "my phone didn't wake me up"....well thanks Motorola! Ill be rooting very soon to do a custom ROM/Kernel, sick of this ****.
Have you found a fix at all?
I had to nuke the phone. Factory Reset fixed it for now.
install alarmy, you won't miss any alarms..

Never had this issue... I use the alarm religiously, had same ones set since Sept last year, never factory reset once and it has never missed an alarm.
Start with making sure all alarms are using included sounds and not custom ones, then try wiping cache partition, and if that fails factory reset...

If my phone gets factory reset, it's to unlock the bootloader, not get my morning alarm working again... I'm using the default alarm ringtone on full volume. My fiance had convinced me in the past I was probably sleeping through them... But now I know!!! ? I'm not relying on this stock rom to wake me up ever again. I'll be relying on the fiance's pixel for now. Sad lol

Try clearing the cache partition... It's something I do every couple months.
