Hi,
I use this forum a lot but never posted here before. I have a problem with my alarm clock which I never found an answer for so far.
My original problem was that the stop/snooze screen would not respond sometimes when I set the alarm over night (testing the alarm a few minutes ahead works fine). Changing roms did not help as well (using darky 9.5 now).
After some reading I understood there are some known issue with stock alarm so I tried 3rd party alarm clocks and I ended up with AlarmDroid.
I like that program but sometimes it just doesn't go off. if I set it to 7AM it shows in the lock screen the time and then a minute later it just disappear without ringing.
oh, I don't use any task killers. Haven't tried the alarm on 2.3.3 yet (is there any change with the alarm clock from 2.2?)
Any direction to what else I can try would be welcomed.

Alarm Clock Plus v2 has never let me down, snooze works great on it and you can set it for as many snooze presses as you like, don't like the stock one (JVB).
I'll try it out thanks.
I'm just afraid these problems might be linked somehow and it will happen no matter what alarm clock I use.

I'm a heavy snooze button hitter. I sometimes don't remember the alarm ever going off. Problems I have with PDA Alarm Clocks is that the Snooze and Dismiss buttons are always in the same place. I'm looking for an alarm program that moves the snooze and dismiss buttons around the screen (and could possibly require 3 or more presses in different locations to disable.)
Ideas?

Pocket Alarm http://www.wizcode.com/products/view/pocket_alarm gives you the option of adding a confirm message box or it even makes you do a math problem to stop or snooze.
Haha thats funny a math problem will wake me up frustrated as hell. It would be cool if it disabled the buttons so you'd have to use the stylus.
yea I use pocket alarm with the 'alarm 5 sound'
anyone has a more annoying alarm sound as mp3 ??
i use spb time for my alarm clock. It is the first alarm clock that I am able to wake to each day.
I am also a "heavy snoozer" and I use Pocket Alarm. It is the best alarm for me and I do choose the math problem option because I sometimes don't even realize I'm hitting the snooze button and end up waking up late.
I'm attaching a .wav file that is very effective at waking me up. It's loud and annoying, perfect for heavy snoozers.
I actually think I got it here.

thank you
You can always try spb time. Very loud alarm and big buttons for snooze and disable. Unfortunately it's not free but you can download the trial and see if it's worth the $$$.
I'm running SPB Time...I like it for all it's features and such. I would just wish that the "OFF/SNOOZE" buttons on the screen would be in different places each time it goes off.

Very easy to use.

Both PocketAlarm and SPB Time are VERY good
I have tried both these: PocketAlarm and SPB Time
Both of these allow using mp3 files for alarms, which was what I was after, while I stumbled on these.
PocketAlarm: Most comprehensive alarm system that I have ever seen. Period. I was pleasantly amused to see the 'math problems', but I do not really need that, as I have a wife to wake me up now
Sadly, it does not have a countdown/countup timer. But as an 'alarm' it is very complete.
SPB time: Complete too, but does not have math problems - but has a superb countdown and countup timer function. I love it.
Which one do I recommend?
I use SPB Time now, as I do not need the math function, and the timer functions are a big bonus for me. So, you choose between them (math problems for snooze OR timer functions).
How about an alarm clock that runs away and hides?

Yeah...I've seen Clocky.
I myself like the "Flying Alarm Clock" It has a propeller like key that flys off the top of the alarm when it sounds. You have to find this key and replace it in the top of the clock to silence it.

Good find! I had held off buying a clocky as I don't think it would get very far in my bedroom lol! This is perfect and cheaper, I just bought one!

And for the alarmsignal I use this one that im attatching, its a hell of a noice when this goes off. If you sleep thru this alarm, your dead

Hi,
I have the XDA Diamond with the standard O2 ROM (Germany) and a problem with the alarm clock. I didnt find a solution in this forum or the instructions of the device, so heres the problem: I can turn the alarm on and it works perfectly fine. But theres no option to turn it off except decrasing the volume till zero, but it doesnt ring at all after that (whats not very good when I fall asleep after this). The second thing is, that I am searching for some kind of snooze option, I had this option on all other alarm clocks on my previous cellphones. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot,
Hannes

Download this, an "upgraded" version of the diamond alarmclock, very easy-to-use, and many options to choose for snoozing, turning it off and such. I use it every morning

Well, are you sure there's no option ?
Touch the screen on the icon bar (top of the screen) when the alarm is on, select the alarm icon : you should have the alarm menu, with de-actiovation, snooze and all. And to have directly the notification, go parameters, sounds & notifications, notifications, select "reminders" in the dropdown menu and check "show message on screen" (or maybe that's not the actual text, my diamond is in french). And this has been answered many times, if it was your problem ^^

maybe you have this problem when the alarm box does not pop up even though you have selected onscreen notification?

I just recently bought a viva. I used my old phone as my alarm clock. This one is a bit more stubborn. I cannot find anywhere to be able to change the sound on the alarm. It only makes a short sound that goes of twice and then quits. Does anyone know how to customize the alarm setting on the phone? Using a daily reminder as my alarm is hassle. THANKS!

Go to Settingd/Clock&Alarm; touch on the "small bell" icon, and some options for customizing the alarm setting will display.
You can use G alarm program
Anyone else had their alarm clock failing this morning? Yesterday i changed the phones time to summertime, and this morning none of my alarms went off. Not the stock alarm, or math clock alarm.
Not running any task killers, android 2.2.1.
I have an problem with my Mi9 with the alarm clock.
My lockscreen is secured by pin or fingerprint. When I set an alarm to wake up, an the clock rings, I have to unlock the phone before I can use the turn off buttons on the screen. Early in the morning this is very annoying .
I could not find any permissions according to miui clock, to override the lockscreen. When i install the google clock or any other i can give the app the permission to overide the lockscreen
The strange thing is, when I test the clock (for example alarm in 5 minutes), the buttons on the screen appears without the need to unlock. The problem seems to appear only when the clock should ring in the next hours
A factory reset is already done, with the same behavior.
Has anyone a suggestion to solve this problem?
This bug was introduced a few builds ago, it's caused by Do Not Disturb mode. You need to have the DND to goes off before the alarm.
I personally never had this problem

You are right, I have DND enabled during night.
I scheduled the dnd mode to disable 10 minutes before my alarmclock rings.
The last two mornings it works like a charm
thank you
I have DND schedule from 23.00 to 08:00and my alarm set to 7:15, and it rings every single day since i have the phone, and can disable alarm or snooze it from lock screen.
I was on EEA stable, on global beta, and now on xiaomi.eu 9.8.29, never had one single incident with alarm...
Same problem here...
Same problem with my phone as well. I do not set DND.
