Hi all,
Love this app - a really good alarm clock. I use the dimmed night screen a lot. However, notice that every night around 04:00 to 05:00 the screen flashes white and then switches off. Alarm still sounds in the morning but screen orientation has changed. Is this the famous NexusS random reboot happening - or something specific to this app???
Anyone else using it?

I'm having a problem where just about every morning I wake up and my phone is frozen and the home screen is showing distorted colors. Some times the interface will slightly change after touching the screen but not much else. This has been a big problem for me because for the past few days i've been late for work as I depend on my pocket alarm application to wake me up. (its the only alarm that wakes me up). I'm using Alex v5.20 CUBE rom. Any help? I've already run the google and I see a lot of cube related freezes but Im not sure if this is the case. I'm thinking its Home related.
maybe its having morning sickness hahhahahahah 0_o did you try a hard rest or going to the the setting for htc home disabling everythign soft rest and the turn it back on

Maybe it's the alarm application??? Uninstall Pocket Alarm and try the default alarm application once and see if your phone freezes the next day.
Thanks I'll try that and if it doesn't help I'll try a cleaner rom.
Tilt freezes
warm it up first
Hi
For a few days, I had a screen which displayed when the alarm went off with nice big green Snooze and red Off buttons
Now when the alarm goes off, that screen is not there. It makes it much more fiddly
I cannot find any kind of setting to restore that orginal screen
Anyone know how to restore it ?
Registry perhaps ?
Hi,
I'm not sure if it's just Cyanogenmod or if this happens on other ROMs but everytime my alarm goes off in the morning I pick it up to disarm but before I can even look at the screen it snoozes!
If the alarm starts going off and I leave it alone on the table, I can see the options to disarm or snooze. It will keep alarming for like 2min strait, but anytime I pick it up- it automatically snoozes (when I don't want it to of course).
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? I tried going through the alarm settings to turn off accelorometer- but it has nothing of the sort.
*I also tried using the "Alarming!" app, and I have the same problems with that one too...
help
I am not sure what is going on, but for whatever reason, certain features of the stock alarm app simply don't work. e.g the option for setting side keys to snooze does absolutely nothing! This is probably my biggest issue as the other could be written off as me doing crazy things in my tired waking up state. It has simply never functioned as it should for me. From the out of the box telco rom, to unbranded stock rom and now KA04.
The UI of the app is quite nice when setting alarms, but just terrible for actual alarms. I seem to dismiss them easily as-well :|. Somehow my partner is getting to the home-screen and opening other apps when trying to snooze (no idea how she is pulling that off though). Sonic Jump's title screen at max volume at 3 am is quite horrendous to the ears
I've set every possible setting to avoid the alarm just dismissing itself yet it's still a pretty frequent occurance.
So either, does anyone know a fix and/or are you experiencing this? OR can you recommend a really solid 3rd party replacement? I've had good experience with AlarmDroid in the past but recently on my GS2 it was having some compatibility issues. With an alarm you don't really wanna risk that it might not go off though lol.
I tried the timer once to boil eggs, it shut down as soon as I locked the screen for some reason. As soon as I unlocked the screen the timer resumed from where I'd locked the screen.
Downloaded Timer instead, it's always served me well.
Gentle Alarm is my alarm clock. Been using it for 2+ years now. love it. Love to be woken slowly by nature sounds.

I think the alarm app is buggy, agree the side button does nothing (code probably ported from another Experia and not checked) pretty poor
and when the alarm actually activates and I miss the screen slider to turn it off - when I activate the home screen and pull down the notification bar to turn off the alarm - it's not always there, the only way I can turn off the alarm is to turn off the phone

Lol well at least I'm not crazy then. You can never be sure who's fault it is that early in the morning .
no problems with alarm here except the early morning syndrome hitting the slider
I have a problem with the alarm. Say I've set up an alarm that is supposed to repeat every day of the week.
But every time I dismiss it when it goes off, it disables itself, so I have to enable it again manually in order to be woken up the next day.
does it work the same way for everybody?

I was late for work the other day because I snoozed the alarm and it didn't come back, at all!... Not Sony's fault, I had set max. number of background processes to 1, and when the lockscreen process starts, that means the launcher becomes the 1 background activity, and the clock gets bumped from memory.
Oops.

So I recently started having an issue with the night clock on my edge. Instead of just lighting the pixels to show the clock the whole screen lights up. Everything but the clock is black but you can easily tell the screen is lit. When I do the swipe on the edge to get the information stream and time it works fine and only what is on the edge lights up but with the night clock the whole screen goes on. Anyone else having this issue?
I am having the very same problem.
There's a thread floating around with users experiencing the same problem.
Could be fixed with an update.

I suspect it's meant to do that as some sort of night light, if you look closely in the options to turn it on our off, the picture showing how the clock looks has the screen fading slightly as well.
Edit: upon checking the options for the notification stream it also has the fading screen picture, so now I think it's just broken. ..
Hi well it'S my first post since i had me sky rocket
...seems like the new AT&T update fixed the problem with the night clock..
However..I did enabled the (emu keys)... and when the night clock is on..i have this part of the lockscreen enabled... where the emu keys go..
