Extreme alarm just doesn't work. In fact no alarms work when set. You have the notification in the top window that it's due but nothing happens. What is going on?

Did you ever get the alarms to work ? Mine will not. I use the standard Android clock.

Nope, won't work.

Do you have the volume set in the alarm app to zero?
Alarm works great here, can even have the phone off and it turns on just in time to wake me up.

For third party clock/alarm apps, you might need to go to Power Manager > Power management for apps.
Find your 3rd party app and disable "scheduled background wake-up" and disable "allow deep sleep" (if those are on).
This worked for me for Sleep as Android so it might work for you.

Have exact same problem, think there must be something related to the amount of time the phone has been in standby too, if I test an alarm, by setting it to go off in 10 mins for example, it works fine, left overnight, never works....
I had issues with the alarm after using Klaxxon and uninstalling it.
I am currently testing to try and get it working each time and seems to be ok.
I reinstalled Klaxxon ticked force remove windows alarms and intergrate applyed the changed and soft booted the phone.
I then started klaxxon again and remove both ticks and soft reset again.
I then used AlarmFixWM to remove duplicate entries from the notification queue.
Not 100% if this now works 100% but seems promising.
Im sure there is an easier way but the above its what I did.
Found this thread which seems to be related

Have installed SK tools, cleaned notification queue and set it to run cleanup auto in middle of night....
Alarm actually went off this morning...
Hardly conclusive, but gives me hope!
Odd, seems to be a longstanding WM2003/5/6/6.1 issue, not TD2 specific, but I moved to topaz from an artemis where I never had a single alarm problem... you would think if the artemis hardware could cope with my appointments list/alarms etc. then a topaz would be fine too...
P.
Alarm sounded again this morning
Happy Days...
Will post back here if problem reoccurs,
Otherwise, assume this has worked for me.

Hey popkid,
Any chance you could post exactly how to do this using SK tools? I cant seem to figure it out and I have this annoying alarm problem!!!

1) Fire up SK Tools
2) Hit Tools (Bottom Right) --> Settings
3) 2nd Tab "Automation"
4) Toggle "Notifications Queue" to "Use in Auto Mode" if it isn't already
(Take a look through other run options to run and deselect them if you don't want them running automatically)
5) Toggle "Scheduled Run" to "Yes"
6) Set time/day/date etc. to run (Mine is set to run at 3.30am every day, probably overkill!)
7) Set "Silent Mode" to "Yes"
and you are good to go
Alternatively, to fix your Notifications Queue just once:
1) Fire up SK Tools
2) Category (Bottom Left) --> Maintenance
3) Select "Notifications Queue"
4) Action (Bottom Left) --> Mark Duplicates (should be a fair few if you are having alarm problems)
5) Action (Bottom Left) --> Delete Marked
Hope this helps, post back if not!
Good Luck

Thanks Pauly, ill see if G-alarm wakes me up in the morning!!
Dunno if you guys can help, i got Klaxon and alarm is fine, but if i snooze using shake then it never goes off again!
Can you show me your settings or give me any ideas?
My solution: Whatever alarm you have, install HTCPedia Topaz Setting Tool, go to Power Settings and set AC Resuming and Battery Resuming to 20 seconds, works EVERY DAY for me with Klaxxon.
That change made no difference when I was having my difficulties, think that gives the device longer to process your notifications queue if it is large, but if the notifications queue has other issues then it won't help.
P.
Edit: SFAIK Think G-Alarm changes both of these registry values to 120 seconds on installation, That is what they are set to on my TD2
they are located in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\ if you wish to edit directly,
"BattResumingSuspendTimeout" and "ACResumingSuspendTimeout"
But does that fix the snooze function?

doesn't sound like the same problem you have to be honest, the notifications queue stuff is related to the alarm never going off in the first place...
I'm not a klaxon user, but have had it installed in the past, are you sure that you don't have the light sensor alarm deactivation switched on or it set to switch the alarm off (rather than snooze) on shake?
P.
Thanks for replying mate, how would i know about the light sensor bit?

I thought there was an option in Klaxon itself to use the light sensor to deactivate the alarm when a light is switched on?
Ah... Ok... just checked Klaxon release docs and it seems that isn't implemented yet... so thats a red herring!
It does say though... flip phone over to snooze
and shake to deactivate
I'm guessing that whatever you are doing is triggering the deactivation rather than the snoozing....!
One way to check, if you enable the integration to TF3D in klaxon then the time noted for the next alarm on your front page should increment to the next alarm set once the alarm has been deactivated, but not if it is snoozed, I think anyway.
P.
hey, yeah sorry i turn it over! it used to work with stock rom i think .. do you know what each option does in klaxxon? might just try g-aram or something?

No, sorry not sure, guess there is some sort of sensitivity set somewhere where it determines whether you are shaking or just turning over, I used to use the turn over function in klaxon when I had it and it worked fine... in G-alarm I get what you describe btw the sensitivity is set such that when I turn it over it thinks I'm shaking it and deactivates, so that may not provide the fix you are after either... and G_alarm isn't free... if you hunt around, I'm sure there was another klaxon thread on here (possibly by the developer himself) that had some details of the sensitivity being changed between releases, may be a reg edit you can do to fine tune it?
Good Luck!

Alarm problem

Sorry if this is the wrong forum but i posted in the question and answer section and got no responses....
I can't seem to get the alarm to work right on my phones. I had the mytouch 3g and now i have the nexus one. They never consistently work. I've tried searching but all the solutions i seem to find are to either download a different alarm and exclude it from whatever task killer app you have.
Is the alarm a different process than the clock app? because for the last 3 nights i have gone to bed with the phone plugged in and the clock app running and the alarm has only worked once. The clock app displays the next scheduled alarm, but this morning my alarm was supposed to go off at 7:50am but never did. I woke up at 8:30 and the clock app still said that an alarm was scheduled for wednesday(today) at 7:50am.
Mine buzzed fine this morning at 6:04 and I even had the phone on silent. I'm using the default ringtone (Ringing Alarm).
Do you have a program that's killing it? I don't use any of those Task Manager programs.

I have a task manager app but its not set to auto kill, and i put my phone on the clock app and use it as a clock when i go to bed
When you programmed the alarm, what ringtone did you set for the alarm? Or is it set to only vibrate? You may have selected a ringtone that doesnt work?
i use Fade In, its on my memory card but it has definitely worked before. but its not like the alarm goes off without any sound, it just doesn't come up at all

Try it without that task manager just to make sure it's not it that's killing it. I don't know the ins and outs of the OS but this clock app is new I think with 2.1 so that task manager might not be 100 % compatible with it.
Ive used mine for a week now and its gone off every time. Its hard to figure out what youre doing wrong without seeing you do it. Try just using the default settings for everything.

It's likely to be that.. Nothing should be killing apps except the OS, which knows about the application lifecycle. Having apps loaded that kill things when they feel like it is asking for trouble.

The alarm is a process within the app. Try un-installing it at least that way you would know for sure.
I've had the same problem and been late for a test at uni :S (Using Sense UI) I go to the clock, turn the alarm off, then turn it back on, it says 'this alarm is set to go off in 6 hours blah blah" then I turn the screen off and go to sleep, but if I use taskiller it sometimes doesn't go off, even when the clock app's ignored
if you choose the vibrate option then the alarm does not sound. thats my experience
I've never had the vibrate option on.
And I've noticed too that if I go into the alarm setting and back out so that it displays the message, that it always goes off. Just kind of a pain to do that every night.
I don't know if its just my phone... but I miss the dedicated alarm clock function...
I rely on my n1's alarm every morning and haven't had any trouble with it. I don't run any task killers especially ones that kill "all but xxxxx" IMHO that is asking for trouble.
I stopped using task killer, in favor of 'quick system info'. Which has the ability to end applications but only does so on your explicit input. (I have an absolute disdain for MP3 store auto running itself, i'd rip it out of the OS, but I don't want to root my phone just yet.) I haven't had any issues with the alarm in either case however.
I thought I was on crazy pills! Ever since I got my N1, I've overslept every day! I just ran a test this morning and changed the alarm time from 4am to 8am and it went off perfectly. I have vibrate selected and run task killer as well. I never thought that task killer would be able to kill a clock event, so now Ill try running a different task manager as suggested.
Edit: I just noticed that Advanced Task Killer has an Ignore App option, I've now ignored the clock app and will test.
I've been using advanced task killer, but I unchecked the Clock and it seems to be working fine now, still using my iPhone alarm clock though... don't want to be late for work!
So people who use task killing apps are surprised tasks are being killed? lol awesome.
Have you guys having issues installed anything like locale or timerrific? timerrific has default profiles that will change your ringer/volume settings.

lol indeed! Keep in mind, on Windows Mobile, the alarm is triggered by an OS notification service, not the alarm app itself. So who'd huv thunk it would work any different?

Alarm not working

I just got an att pure and when i set the alarm it does not work. it works if the phone display is on but not when the screen is off. Any one have this problem. Also is there anyway to activate the screen other than the power button? I do not want to destroy my power button.
Hi,
if you are looking for a real alarm clock, I suggest to consider third party software such as Klaxxon Alarm or GAlarm. Actually looks to me that WM "alarms" are only reminders..can't wake up in the morning with it
About power button: Don't worry to use it, it's its job..but if you really want to save its life, here's a .cab to switch your device on with any button you like :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555821
maybe it's "wake up SMS" issue.
(That Device wakes up at incoming email)
I have that activated and alarm would work as alarm clock (if I would use it)
I'm using cradle alarm since mp3 is not supported wicht win alarm

Alarm not showing up.

Does anyone have the issue of their alarm not showing up on the homescreen, even though it is turned on when you bring up the alarm setup screen? My alarm doesn't work, nor does it display, and when it says it is on. Does anyone have any insight, or fix to this problem. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
compare the alarms you set in htc with the alarm details in
settings menu all settings clocks and alarms
you may well find that one set has different alarm sound set, which may or may not even exist.
I have also seen winmo have problems with alarms if you leave the message box blank.
That unfortunately did not work, they both have matching "ringtones" and also the same description, but it doesn't show up. Any other suggestions?
in settings menu all settings sounds and notifications, notifications tab in the event drop down, select "reminders" and ensure show on screen is ticked.
oh and in clocks and alarms, alarms tab, make sure "sound even if phone is set to silent" is ticked (or words to that effect)
make sure the "S" for Saturday which is today is selected.

Yup, I too have the same prob, I had similar probs on MANILA 2D on my ELF too..!!!
I think there's some prob with the HTC Manla & Sense..!!!
The only solution is to download some ALARM APP like G-Alarm..!!!
Mine is working fine.

That answer was almost cute... almost.
Simple solution, ready...? G-Alarm. OR, OR, OR... SPB Time.
I have this same issue, and it is not a specific rom that this bug is in because I tried a few different ones and the problem still occurred. It seems like the alarm will only turn on if you set it for the next day. If you set it two days from now then it won't show up as it being on.

[N] - Notification help

Backstory: I don't use the stock android alarm clock because when I am half asleep I can't figure out what icon snoozes and what icon dismisses so I often dismiss my alarm and go back to sleep... no bueno.
Solution: I have always used circle alarm. It has features that I really like but is now due for a visual refresh.
Problem after Nougat upgrade: I have do not disturb modes setup for when I am sleeping. I tried to increase the notification permissions for the app to allow the alarm to go off but when I go to Settings > Apps > Circle Alarm > Notifications, the slider is disabled and says "App determines importance for each notification", so it is stuck on level 3. I have the setting "Override Do Not Disturb" enabled. Driving me crazy and have been late to work the last few days because of it SMH.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
when you go to its setting, tap on 'A' circle icon, it should then enable the slider.

I am an idiot. You are a genius. Cannot believe I didn't think to click that. Didn't even notice it was there to be honest lol. I blame it on the sender labels in gmail that serve no real purpose.
Worked like a charm though, thanks! Will test the alarm this weekend to see how it does
I actually found it by accident lol.
I had a notification that would cause an app to force close when it was set higher than the third slider. Just happened to hit it one day accidentally while adjusting.
/me shrugs.
Glad it helped you out!
Somewhat related note/question...
Has anyone on N had issues with Quick Reply specifically with Hangouts? All my other quick reply compatible apps works perfectly, but hangouts fails to send 70% of the time.

I am able to access the slider and change the settings. However, no matter which setting I apply I still have the peek notification on my screen. All of the other features of the slider work (lock screen behavior, sound, vibration, etc.). For some reason I cannot disable the peeking. At this point I am just curious if I am missing something. I can live with it as is, but just has my curiosity up. Thanks.
Press the "A" button to Edit the Importance level of Notofications. So intuitive, yet it would have taken me forever to figure this out. Thanks!
