Alarm clock problem

Hi, this morning the WM alarm clock of my tytn ii failed to raise at the correct time, but finally the alarm did go off about 58 minutes later (the device was left untouched in sleep mode until that). The notification still showed the correct alarm time in the message, and the acutal time (wrong) time in header and top bar.
Never heard of this problem before, any suggestions??? Please help me to identify the problem with this "ready for business"-device (lol).

I think i remember reading something similar to this on another thread. where the problem was something to do with time sync (by activesync or network). Perhaps somebody who has had this problem can help?

Try disabling the HTC Home plugin and the Task Manager. That seems to help fix it.

I do not know if this is connected or not, but -
I have a (perhaps) similar problem with the alarm.
My alarm is set to 07:30 every morning.
A while ago, I travelled to france and adjusted the time zone by one hour. I have since returned home, but since, the alarm rings at 06:30 every morning.
The setting is still 07:30.
There is no alarm set for 06:30.
The system **** shows the correct time and the time zone is also correct.
Is it possible that 'old' and incorrect entries are stored in the registry, and trigger the alarm wrongly?

I have some problem and use another alarm proogram.
Try to use some another program like SPB Time or another.

exact same problem here (i did visit germany not france though )
does anyone have a solution without disabling things like the home plugin?
(it's not the auto change timezone/clock from sim setting as i have that before this prob occured and its still off...)

Try cleanining the notification Que using sktools or some similar program, this alarm problem is a well known bug in WM devices and has been for a long time

You may want to check your time zone is correct. Also check that the time IS NOT being updated from the network, if your cell provider has an incorrect time zone this could cause the problem.

I have been having the same problem. I can set an alarm for 8:00AM, but it will ALWAYS go off at 7:00AM. If I set it for 8:01AM, it will go off at the right time. I have no idea why it's happening and can't seem to find a solution...

Alarm Problem
I have the same problem. My alarm goes off at 5:20 a.m. every morning. I updated the TILT rom with the new updated AT&T rom. I set the alarm once for 5:20 am. After that it has gone off at that time every morning regardless of what I do to the alarm clock settings . Anyone know how to fix this problem????

I agrree - clean Notification Que....., BUT cleaning every week, monts ... so boring.....
stop using buged WM clock to alarm - well, how I said, use some another clock program like SPB Time or similar.

I've always had alarm clock issues with every wm device I've ever used. Either going off at the wrong time or not at all. I downloaded 3rd party gentimer and just transfer it to each new device as I get them. I know I shouldn't have to do this and MS should have a better more reliable alarm system, but for a one time charge of 12 bucks I have peace of mind and no. more dickin' with the damn oem alarm. It's worth it IMHO.

SKTools did not work. My alarm still goes off at 5:20am. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this turn off?

What has worked for me in the past is to delete all existing timers, do a soft reset, then re-create them. In your case, I'd be tempted to change the timer, then delete it, then reset and re-enable.

What do you mean delete the existing timers? Where do I delete them?

I use my old Nokia N70 just because it's so pathetic that HTC or MS (don't know whose fault it is) can't fix a proper alarm.

Perhaps I confused you by calling the alarms 'timers'. Here's how to delete them:
Start, Settings, Clock & Alarms, Alarms tab.
To delete a previously set alarm, uncheck the checkbox, and de-select days of the week. Click Ok. Do a soft reset.
In my experiance, this will remove duplicate alarms as well.

I've tried that with the exception of removing all of the checked days of the week. I will try that and see what happens. Thanks.

Alarm Programme on HTC Diamond

Hey people...
I have HTC Diamond and I have searched and not found a definative answer yet...
Do you know which alarm programme I could use??? While the phone being switched off??? I need it to go off...
Thanks
CHEERS

Sry, double post... Please ignore. How do I delete?

No alarm works on WM with the phone COMPLETELY switched off!
However, you can simply put it in flight mode and then it will be switched off for all practical purposes. The alarm you use is a matter of taste and personal preferences. I hear Spb Clock is quite good if you want a recommendation.

Pocket Alarm is good on my Artemis. Hardly freezes and will wiork well in flight mode.
In 'Settings' you can change the volume status AND level to suit!
Go for it! Its great!

Thanks for the help guys
Cheers
ENJOY

no wake up reminder

Hello,
sorry if it has been already discussed, but I have seen only topics about "sms wake up".
Is there a way how the screen can stay off during the calendar reminder (appointment, task notification)? I have tried Diamond Tweak and other apps, but I haven't seen such an option.
Thank you very much for your help.

yeah, I was acctually also searching for this. The problem is quite similar to the one accidentally answering the call due to the touchscreen sensitivity.
If anyone has a solution for this (maybe a registry hack?), please post.
Thanks,
Geen

is there no solution to this "problem" ?

i am facing similar issue on my diamond with you.
And I think, THIS IS A BIG ISSUE. It drains my battery a lot if i didnt hear my reminder's ring.
Does anyone have solution for this ?

touchscreen remains on after missed call/sms/reminder
I assume everybody suffers from the phenomena mentioned in this thread and I wonder why no solution has been proposed to solve this.
Or did we miss some related threads?

i think... because no one cares ? i wonder why didn't diamond's experts try to figure this problem out ?

I'd be interested in the solution as well.

Have you guys tried installing s2u2? Its like a sliding unlocker program like the iphone and it shuts down the screen and locks the screen on its own.....evn when a reminder is on. I've tried this on my touch and it works for me. The phone will wake up....sound the alarm for like 5 mins and then the screen shuts down....and the phone's locked again.

The phone should stay off, as can be done with new SMS notifications. Is there really no way?

I have the same freaking issue! It looks like a simple to solve problem, but i can't find anything! The sms notification hack works perfectly, there has to be someone who can find something! Please somebody with PPC knowledge take a look!

It seems so simple. I've searched a lot but cannot find anything. Isn't there a registry entry which allows processes to wakeup the phone or something?

Any news on this issue?

Me too. Luckly I have an old fashion alarm to wake me up every morning. I could never trust my WM devices.

Alarm
Since i bought HTC Diamond i never used alarm on my phone, as the same problem i had in my O2 XDA Atom.
Better to use G-alarm, the best software ever for alarms & reminders.

Xperia - HTC Diamond touch - problem with clock

Hi,
I'm a victim of weird problem that occurs on my SE Xperia X1 phone and affects the clock.
Generally, after going into standby mode something is happening with system clock and after switching the phone on the clock is late - sometimes just few minutes, sometimes few hours.
This bug appears only sometimes and the soft restart seems to solve the problem for a while (the clock updates itself to correct time), still it is very unfortunate bug, especially when you use a phone as a alarm every morning
Did someone had such problems with X1? and perhaps know the way to solve this problem?
best regards
piotr

my x1 seems to freeze about once per day when docked. usually the only way that i notice is when the clock is stuck (i.e it's still stuck at 15:30 when it's 16:15). the other thing that happens is that for some reason the default theme is applied when i open the start menu (i.e the start menu colour is the same as the genric windows theme colour) ...
a reboot fixes this issue. so far this has only happened to me when i've been docked (as far as i'm aware) so it may have something to do with activesync ... ?

hardreset is the fastest way to solve "strange" problems.
do it and check without installing anything. if it happens again your xperia has something bad, if it happens again after installing software, then there's some program causing it.

I got the same thing.
Very annoying.
Only noticed it with the new R2A roms though..

doh ! i was hoping that the new firmware solved the problem. :-(

Thanks guys! Today I updated Xperia to R2AA10 and so far I did not install any new software (it is hard to resist though. I'll let you know if that solved clock thing

Guys after the R2AA10 update the clock problem is still there. No programs install for 2 days, and today suddenly, clock has gone 1 hour back...
What is going on?
This happens only in 2nd and 4th panel. The clock is normal in the 1st panel, and in the panel with the fish...
What should i do? I tried soft, hard reset, everything!

I would not say it is a matter of panel - on my Xperia this problem occurs in first panel (even after updating to R2AA10

Hello,
I have the same problem with the Htc Touch Diamond after updating to the latest official ROM:
ROM: 2.03.483.1 FRE
Radio: 1.09.25.23
Protocol: 52.51.25.26H
Windows Mobile 6.1 build 20764.1.4.3
I think it might be due to some bug in a power saving feature...
Has anyone got a solution?

I have a part solution
it happens on the SPB panel for me, its the 4th panel for me also.
if yours it the 4th panel too then try moving the panel to another place.
if that doesnt work then i know this deffo works as iv used it, goto the today panel, leave it there for a few minutes (10-20) then go back to the panel which has got the bug, you will notice the time will be in sync and the problem goes away. It happens from time to time, sometimes weeks apart so as much as its a pain, i can live with it. I dont know if it affects the alarm when the time stops.

I have the same problem with the clock. Was looking for a solution here and found this topic. Funny thing is, I have also the spb mobile shell panel and it is on the 2nd place. I will try the trick of safdl and hope that the problem will solved. And about the alarm, freezing of the clock doesn't effect the alarm.

Same here
The same problem here with an HTC Diamond Touch... however it looks very random to me. Any solution or clue about what is happening?

I solved this
My Touch Diamond had the same problem : the clock was never right. so I downloaded the advanced configuration tool and turned on every single power management option and it seems to have fixed it. hope it will work for you too.

I tried this one. But it's not WORK!!!! HELP!!!
