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.

Is the alarm clock in the N1 reliable?

My old phone (Windows Mobile) had an alarm clock that was junk and sometimes would not ring at all (found out the hard way). Is the alarm clock in the nexus one reliable or did it ever fail to ring for you?
Thanks.

I use it every day as my only alarm, and it hasn't failed me yet.

lol its way realiable.. i use it for work and have not miss work yet...lol so yes it is...

Ditto to what everyone else is saying pretty much. Only alarm, works like a charm.

I use it as my work alarm and it hasn't failed me yet.

This is not WM It's Android and the Alarm clock is very on target!

Thanks guys, I guess I won't have to carry a dedicated alarm clock when I travel anymore.

I'm not sure if it's still a problem, but if you have an alarm set up and your phone reboots and/or turns off, your alarm will no longer be set.

I use it every morning for work and it has worked every time. My winmo alarm failed quite a few times so I always had an alarm clock as Backup. I no longer use the alarm clock and just stick with the n1 by my bedside. And if you leave the clock app opened and long press the screen brightness icon it puts the app in night mode with a black screen and green time info. The only downside to that is that it keeps your button touch buttons lit up white.

Weird, I just set the alarm, turned off the phone, and it still didn't work for me.
You're using the stock alarm?

My alarm survives reboots as well. Stock Clock App. Perhaps you Clock app is not booting on startup or is being auto-killed if you're using a task killer app?

Unlike most Nokias, the phone won't turn back on to wake you up... All Nokias, dumb or smart, do that IIRC.

The best alarm on a phone I had. It has never failed me yet.

Woops, I didn't clarify. The alarm survives reboots, it's just that it won't go off if your phone is shut down.
Do all of yours work when the phone is shut down?

Yes the lack of this feature sucks but I personally never have my phone off overnight. Im sure this isn't uncommon, but for me its because its my only phone. In emergencies I need to be available. Maybe other people turn their phones off to charge overnight, but I doubt that its common.

I doubt it will work.

[Q] Alarm Clock doesnt work in the morning

Anyone else having problems with the alarm clock?
I set 2 alarms to wake me in the morning and they dont activate until i touch the phone in the morning
I have to use a old wildfire for an alarm clock.
I also tried the AlarmDroid app from marked but it didnt work either. I tried to test the alarm in the evening one night and it worked fine. I usually charge the phone each night but that cant have affected the alarm can it ?

I have they exact same problem. Phone didn't gold off this morning until I touched they phone. Anyone got a fix for this ?

Could it be juicedefender that does something ? Gonna try killing it tonight...

Juicedefender or a taskkiller probably killed the clockapp
Exclude clock app or stop using taskkillers

it is juicedefender. had the same problem on my sgs i9000.

I had the same problem, but i don't use any taskkiller ...

I have experienced it too. But only once. No taskkiller, root, custom rom or anything weird.
This phone is far from finished for release!

I tried this once and did not figure out the problem. It has not done it for about 2 weeks now.
Thinks the problem was my lockscreen app maybe.

Alarm worked today. Guess it was juicedefender.

Mine worked this morning (Running on Pauls FR8)

Another user on a danish forum experienced the same thing as I did:
One day the alarm just did not work.
No juicedefender, taskkiller, custom lock screen, root, custom rom. Just plain stock LG.
Neither of us was able to reproduce the problem. So it is not very likely that your lockscreen, juicedefender or whatever is responsible. Otherwise it is very easy to check. Reinstall juicedefender etc. and verify that it indeed prevents the alarm from working.

had a similar problem.
have to make some more test but maybe the problem is "flight mode".
When the phone was set into flight mode the alarm clock doesn't work.
If i let the network connected it worked.
will test it for some days to see if i can reproduce it.

Mine fortunately went off this morning. It was on charge at the time too and had been all night... Amazed it hadn't crashed or something! haha! Bloody thing scared me ****less though. These O2Xs are much louder than my little Hero.

my 2x alarm works great in flight mode..

it is not the flight mode. the alarm clocked work till today without problems, but this morning it stopped working. I did not changed anyting.
very strange. some solutions or some informations from LG ?
thx net

Same issue for me.
With v10a and with v10b, in a totally random way
It's a real pain, because I ever need something different to wakeup.. especially when I'm out of my home.
If you have an alarm that can't wakeup you when it's needed (and you can't know when it don't ring!) is totally and really useless!
Anyone found the trick?
I've tested it many times.. but no way. I can't find the magic combination.
It's not a taskkiller issue, it's not a app issue, it's not am hard reset issue..
The only state I need to try is:
- Phone with a partially discharged battery.
- Connected to the socket for a night charge session
- Airplane mode
- Manually locked

Could the system have killed the process to gain resources? (Do you have a ****load of running apps?)

No memory issue, I think.
I put my phone in airplane mode when sleeping, with a task killer (system process and some apps in exclusion - included the alarm process) that run every 30mins.
I suppose that we have an issue linked to some system process that wait for an user input or that simply lock the system for a strange reason.
I'm aiming to the message box that appear when the phone is under charge and it reach the 100%: "battery charged, disconnect it to save energy [ OK ]".
Something like.. screen locked, the phone stop charging, message pop up.. and than the message box take the full control of the system, waiting user input.. without system messages processing ; so not an app related issue but a system bug, related to this specific message. It's possible?
Everytime the alarm not fired, I noticed the clock was not updated and that it updated itself immediately after unlocking (and the alarm fired if the alarm time is not so far).
what do you think?

Had the same problem, stock rom V10A with Launcherpro.
No other system/utilities apps running.
But interestingly, it only happened once (1st day of using O2x). The alarm went off fine the next few days.

Alarm issue

Hi
Mi5 64gb, recently purchased and just upgraded to the miui7 latest update that prevents Android Pay from working ( bah!)5. Everything fine with it apart from the clock alarm in the morning. It wakes me up on time, but does not show the clear/snooze option and I can't turn it off.
My guess is that my "night clock" app is hogging the screen and the alarm snooze screen is indeed "underneath" but not accessible.
Anyone got any tips on how to use a night clock - happy to pay for one - that plays nicely with the system alarms ?
Cheers

I'm having a much worse issue than this my alarm just doesn't go off another forum suggested using the stock charger which worked for one day but not since?
