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!
Not the main reason for this post, but first I'd like to mention that I've noticed I'm unable to send long texts when i'm in 1x. I think this is an EB01 issue because I vaguely recall seeing a post about that. Am I correct on this?
Anyways, the main point of my post. I use delivery confirmations, and typically I'll send a text, lock my phone, and a few seconds later the screen will come back on, show the delivery in the notification bar, and then go off again a few seconds later. But sometimes, often enough to notice, I'd say several times a day, I'll lock my phone, and I own't get the delivery report. Then say, 5 minutes later, when I push the power button on the phone to wake it up, the delivery report immediatly pops up, and whatever the person may have texted me back will then pop up too. I'm receiving no notification of the delivery, OR the sms I receieve from the person, until I wake my phone up.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this an EB01 issue, or something with Sc?

Huh? You mean Auto Retrieve for MMS? That's not even what the post is about. And if it were, I wrote that problem is intermittent, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, so changing a setting "on" or "off" probably wouldn't be the solution. But yes, MMS auto retrieve is, and always has been, on.
Did you clear your user data and cache after you loaded SC?

Actually that is what this post was about...often when people switch to another sms app they switch that off. When that is switched off, you will not receive texts (regular and mms) until the phone is "awake". I'd attempt downloading another sms app and seeing if the results are the same.
Yes, I wiped data AND cache. And auto retrieve is on. The problem doesn't happen all the time, maybe like once ever couple hours I'll notice it.

Dew, try go sms and see if it works any different. Only time I've seen this is when the settings I mentioned are turned off or when the phone loses all service in sleep mode.

Just did it again today. Sent a text to my gf, locked my phone. Never got the beep for the delivery, or her reply. Soon as I unlock it a few min later, both come through. Also, the text will have the current time on it, which does make it feel like the phone is losing service while sleeping. However, the speed at which the delivery and subsequent text alerts come through is near instant, < 1 second after the unlock screen appears, so it's as if the phone recieved them, but choose to act as if it hadn't.
As for trying another SMS app, that's not really a solution for me, I'm pretty happy with, and used to, the stock msging app.
Im not suggesting you keep it...i'm saying to see if it's a continuous problem. you don't even have to use the other app...u just want to see if it notifies.
I have the eb01 with 2.4 and I dont have that issue. Try reflashing 2.4

Giving it a whirl, will report back tomorrow sometime.
If you want to run a logcat, I can tell you if I have the same issue. I'm trying to hunt down a solution and I'm going crazy, but I know exactly what it looks like.
Okay, so I'm still having the same issues with Go sms. The phone will be locked, and when I unlock it say, 5 to 10 minutes later, the delivery reports pop up, the stock sms and go sms notifications pop up, and the times on the texts will be the current time, as if they were just recieved.
I too am having this issue. Any solution yet?
Is everyone who is having this issue running SC ????
Reason I ask is cause I'm not, and haven't seen this problem, at all, ever.

I'm running sc 2.4 on a verizon modem using a custom sprint/cricket prl. No problems here. As stated before, I only received this problem when I accidentally toggled with the retrieve settings. I switched them back and have been using chomp happily.

I'm running SC 2.4 and I have only seen this issue once so far, that being this morning. I rebooted and haven't had it happen since. I haven't ever had this happen before using SC 2.4.
It seems like every custom rom removes/disables it - what do people have against it? I think it's pretty helpful getting an alert when the battery is charged.
Unless I'm misunderstanding something.
Some people are light sleepers, and when it pops up it makes a noise and wakes them up usually at around 2:00 in the morning, and nobody likes that lol

Because a lot of people enable "stay awake", plug their phone in to charge, then hit power to manually put it to sleep. No idea I it does it on Froyo but on Eclair the full battery message would wake up the phone and the screen would stay on. Do it enough and you will have a full battery dialog burned into your screen.
I personally hate popups in general: that's why I have a notification bar.

It doesn't bother me any, but those who use their phones as a bedside alarm clock and charge their phone at night have grown to hate it.

Exactly, and it wakes me up at night.
its annoying on 1000 different levels, even if you don't enable stay awake.
eg:
1. you plug in your phone to charge, go to sleep. 2 hrs in, you hear a sharp beep sound that wakes you up. ...
2. same as 1, but now you've forgotten to face the phone down and the screen on the epic is also on. shines a pretty bright light against the wall... that keeps you up. ...
3. You remembered to put your phone facing down so the screen doesn't shine against the wall when the notification comes on AND the beeping didn't wake you up luckily. Your alarm comes on, you're half asleep and you want to turn the alarm off. Guess what? you have to go through another step and click "ok" for the notification and THEN turn off the alarm.
4. you're plugging in your phone while you're using. It fully charges. BAM! the notification comes on. Intrusive! (this is why even iphone people who like iOS complain about their notification system)
This is why I hate the notification. Worse:
5. IT DOES NO GOOD. What's the point? All the above problems and there is seriously no positive trade off. Just throw a stupid icon on the notification area if they want a feature telling people their battery is full so much. Even better: easy option to disable the notification.
stupid samsung.
I was thinking the same thing this morning until I had it pop up on me for the first time in a long while (new rom)

No, because if someone needs me ASAP in the middle of the night then I want to be alerted of a text or call. (Differing reasons, but in the past: bail friend from jail, booty call, drive a drunk friend home, family member had a car accident, etc.)
I personally use my phone as my alarm clock, but the Eclair alarm clock allows alarms to override silent mode which is nice. So this isn't truly a factor for me hating it.
I really dislike the pop up and alert noise as a whole. Seeing the blue LED light is enough for anyone to see it's fully charged.

Do you have kids old enough to stay out late? Or an ex who keeps the youngest one at times? Do you have a father who's dying and your phone should be ringing any day now about funeral arrangements?

Ya, i hate it, when i hear annoying beaping noise even when my phone is on vibrate i hear it, thank god its gone!!
I'm surprised anyone would wonder why so many people hate the battery full popup/sound.
I hate it because I use my phone as an alarm so I sleep next to it, I charge my phone when I go to bed, and I'm a light sleeper so the damn thing wakes me up if I don't fall asleep right away.

No. Why the hell would I do that? There could be an emergency from a friend/SO/family member that will call/text me. Not to mention the alarm piece I said above.
I imagine anyone who would need me in an emergency knows my house number.

Here's a question: Does anybody actually like this popup? It's one thing not to dislike it, but is there anyone who really gets upset when it's gone?
Turn the darn beep sound off by going to settings>sound>volume>system volume and slide it all the way off. The rest of your sounds will still work, like the phone ringer etc., but the full charge beep won't wake you up anymore.

I think this is the best response in the thread. I disable it (thanks devs!) so I don't have to see it/hear it. Why would Samsung even put it in here. Do other Samsung Touchwiz phones have this "feature".
If Samsung is really bent on having it, at least give users the option to disable it.

Dude. Seriously. Here's the nice response from me:
We use our phones differently and what works for one does not work for another and as long as it is not harming someone else or someone else's loved ones, we should never force our lifestyle onto others.
I was going to let you read my original response but then I caught myself assuming that you were closer to my age. For all I know, you are 12 and these questions and assertions you make are perfectly reasonable for someone of that age. So, I'll be nice just in case.
I have the Samsung GalaxyS5 from Verizon. Recently I noticed I have been getting notification sound/vibrate when I don't even get a notification. I have tried what seems to be everything and just can't seem to get it to stop. I also noticed that it happens every 5 minutes - on the dot. Even when I put my phone on silent it still vibrates. I know this in right, I'm thinking I have some type of bug or virus. I have the Verizon Protect which scans for viruses and such. According to that, I have nothing wrong. I had a system update which I installed a week ago. This hasn't been happening for that long, only about 2 days. But every 5 minutes exactly I get the sound of a text, with no text.
If anyone has any idea I am up to all options. I have went through numerous threads on different websites and nothing seems to be working for me.
I just need someone with a bit more tech skills than what I have!!
Please help me out. Thanks a bunch!!!!

It's not so easy to identify an app that make a notification sound/vibration. Just some suggestions:
- If there is any notification message on the notification bar, long tap on it and select "App info" to see it belong to which app.
- Check yourself what apps you have installed recently. Try to uninstall some apps that you suspect.
- Use Permission Explorer to check for apps that have "Vibrate" permission.
This is driving me mad as I'm missing calls and messages, at least once or twice a day my ring tones and notifications stop working, if I go to sounds be notifications in settings and click to choose a ring tone they don't work they are all silent. I then have to restart the phone and they work fine until something triggers it, I can't suss it out, its nothing to do with do not disturb.
Any help is appreciated, thanks

It's not just you... But you have it more frequently than most, significantly more, it only happens to me once or twice a month and a reboot fixes it. I've just gotten in the habit of rebooting every week or two.
2-3 times per day makes me wonder if you have some other software conflict... Have you tried booting in safe mode and running for a day?
