When I set the clock to display the time on the bar at the top, while in a program, it used to display it with the digital time. Then one day it started showing it in analog form, a small clock.
Also I can't seem to get my alarm to pop open a wake up message on the screen (so I can either snooze or dismiss). I used pop up, but now I have to touch the bell sign at the top (which is annoying when you're tired) and then click dismiss.
Any thoughts? I'd greatly appreciate it.
i also has the clock changed fr digital to analog, how to change it back? anyone can help?
tap and hold on the clock on the top bar and when the menu appears, select digital.
as for the alarm thing, I dunno. I haven't had that problem just yet...Although I'm sure someone round here will have the answer for you.

Hi all,
I had a problem last night where i was testing out the alarm feature. It went off and a small dialogue box popped up and the left button stated 'dismiss', i clicked somewhere other than those areas and then the alarm bell icon went away and the alarm had entered snooze mode - it kept going off every minute or something and there was no way to turn it off.
can anyone shed some light on this if the icon disappears?
also how can i change the alarm tone? going into the sounds and notifications option i get:
''Enable sounds for:
- Events
- Programs:
--Notifications (alarms, reminders)
- Screen taps
- Hardware buttons''
on the second tab called notifications
theres options for ''Event'' allowing to choose an event to assign a sound for it. Theres no Even called alarm or notification but there is one for Reminders. I changed the reminders tone but still that didnt change the alarm tone that went off.
seems the alarm hasnt had much focus during implementation.
thanks,

Change the alarm tone directly on the Clock & Alarms screen. Just tap the little yellow bell thing.
perfect thanks! i didnt know the wee bells were selectable for more features.
anyone else know the solution to the other query?

Try
Start Settings
Sounds and Notifications Notifications tab
Drop down box select - Reminders
Check on Display Message.
(it's a long shot.. but... what the hell...
Hopefully someone will come up with a solution, but until then, even a long shot is worth a shot)

but bro..sonetimes when u uncheck the checkbox of message also..the alarm doesnt stop....
The logic is (or was) that with the Display Message checked.. what would happen is.. you would get a message on your screen when the alarm would go off.. and hopefully you would get the Dismiss and Menu Options on the soft key.
Alternatively... an icon is supposed to appear (when the alarm goes off) on the top status bar (next to your network signal).
Tapping on that icon - logically - should give you the dismiss option.
I had the same problem a while ago and the solution is as previously posted. Make sure the "Display Message on screen" check box is ticked.
I have another problem where that box sometimes gets unchecked after a reset, but that's a different story...
I have an alarm set to wake me up in the morning. The phone is set to ask for an unlock code, so over night the lock sets.
In the morning when the alarm goes off, there is no way to dismiss it. First I have to thumble with the dark keypad to try and enter a code, then I have to try and press that little alarm icon at the top of the screen, then the screen changes to the large task bar icons, then I press the alarm icon, and then, finally the balloon comes up so I can dismiss the bloody alarm.
Its a great thing though as I am fully awake by the time I've finished messing with it, but then I am grumpy for the whole morning.
How can I get a dismiss/snooze alarm option on the locked screen like I get with WM 5?
Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications choose the notification tab and in the "Event" drop down window, choose "Reminders"
You should see an option "Display message on screen" tick it.
Should be able to see the "Dismiss" button now when the alarm goes off.
Don't know if this is already "fixed" in the newest rom version but i did this back when running on the old rom and works fine.
Hi,
I have been searching and looking for something to replace the mechanism for notifications on my TP CDMA (Sprint).
When my calendar notification, SMS notification or voicemail notification activates, its a tiny icon in the status bar at the top, which I have to tap multiple times and then I get the annoying HTC status screen and then I need to tap the icon for VM, or alert to see what my notification is...
I find this very annoying and its easy to miss important notices.
Isnt there a better way? Ideally, something that would automatically play a ringtone and display a window on the screen (even after standby) until I dismiss it....
Does anyone know of something like this?
Thanks!
If you go into Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications
You can configure how the phone notifies you about each event, so for a SMS you'd set for it to "Display Message on Screen"
Granted this is not a huge amount a flexibility and a lot of the time the pop up dissapears and one would have to click up at the status bar again to get it down, yet it is still options.
I haven't looked into differenet notification programs / systems as I am quite content with the stock ones just changed to my liking.
Personally, I hate the pop up, always comes up in the middle of something and just gets in the way.
Is there any way to actually change the look of the bubble ???? I'd ideally like it to be centered on the screen, instead of at the bottom. Also, if you looked more like a bubble, or something else, that would help too. I've been Googling around for about half an hour, and have found NOTHING except changing the bubble color on iPhone and some apps for changing those.
Why aren't there any on WM ????

Francarl is working on trying to change the look of the bubble Check out FingerMenu in the Dev & Hacking section. It should look something like that if it works.

I just set everything to vibrate and flash. I have rlToday setup with 4 BIG finger friendly icons for SMS, Email, Missed Calls, and Voice Mails at the bottom of my Today screen... with their respective counters. A Vibrate and Task icon is enough already. Looking at the today screen will let me easily see anything I need to worry about.
rlToday is a today plugin based on XML which you can create to look like anything you want. Highly customizable.
dontforget works but appears initially to conflit with s2u2 so I'm using dontforget insdtead. hope to find a way to do both.

I hate how I have to constantly go back and turn on "display" for reminders. It disables itself all the time.
dontforget is doing that? not had that issue.
Hey, i have used PhoneAlarm for a few years with past phones, just loaded it on my new Verizon TP, works great as usual. It is not free, ($15 i think), but has been well worth it. Google PocketMax PhoneAlarm (you want the pro version). It is very customizable (skins, custom sounds and intervals for different events), has profiles that can change alarms based on your location, meeting status, or manual selection, and supports TF3D. It also supports a popup on new event and with the notification softkey that allows you to easily click and address the event. I started using it because it allows custom repeat alarms (different sounds after a certain period of time as well as custom intervals). I needed something to alarm pleasantly a few times then an obnoxious alarm every 20 seconds to wake me while sleeping. I'm a paramedic in sometimes remote locations dispatched via this phone, so i NEED to get messages. I've tried several others and always come back to PhoneAlarm. Just my 2 cents...
phoneAlarm.
What's its function?
I have, yes, but mine has appeared over the "Google" text. It appears to be a "press" animation that is "stuck" or something. I just press on the location and it opens the Google app, then when back to the home screen it is gone. Not sure how to reproduce it.
Am able to reproduce it, by touching the Google search bar on the Google Now page, the far left page, the bubble stays where I pressed.
Nobody else has this?
Really?
I don't have the bubble on the home screen or by touching the Google search bar on the Google Now page. I tried touching the search bar several times and never saw the bubble.
I have it -- only on the 6, no other device [yet]. I can watch it pulse and change slightly and it moves from the center of the bar to the middle of the right half sometimes. Tapping the widget then cancelling input will make it go away for a while. Maybe it's Google's way to remind us to use the search bar since it's something I do not frequently do.
I can reproduce it by touching the Search Bar and swiping down, then the dot will stay where ever you touched it until you press on the widget to perform a search. I've done this when trying to swipe down the notification window but not quite hitting the status bar to pull down the notification window.
I've noticed this on my N6 as well on the same bar. If I tap in the bar and tap away, the bubble will go away. I thought it was a bug in the animation. I can reproduce it by touching the bar and dragging my finger out of the bar.
