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.

My alarm survives reboots and shut down and restarts.

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 goes off after deleting the alarm. Leaked 2.2

So as the title says, I had an alarm set for 10am one day and since I didn't need it anymore I took it off. Well the next day at 10 am it ended up going off again. I checked to see if it was still active, but it wasn't even there.
Is this a known bug our does anyone know how to fix it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Simple question is did you restart your phone too see if it still happens. It is not a bug that I have ever seen reported. Maybe reinstall the clock and see if it still appears as a setting?
This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.

[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.

[Q] Alarm problem anyone?

Does anyone have this problem?
When the alarm sounds in the morning it just rings por 1 or 2 seconds and stops. I mean, the sound cuts itself without touching the phone. Then I can snooze or unlock the phone but the alarm doesn't ring.
Stock rooted ROM (tried with 3 stock rooted roms and happens the same)

Hi, I have the same problem and no solution... I'm on Faria V5.1 ROM!

I think that's a problem in XXAMA1. Had that same issue before but not now when im on XXAMA2.

ok, you'r right I'm on XXAMA1...

Havn't seen faria around for a while though..no updates

It happened in AMA1 and put AMA2-3 and it still happens

still happens on AMB2. Kinda frustrated, i woke up half an hour late today, I can't be any later or I'll miss my classes :/

That'd explain why I missed university 3x this week
Edit: tested and works good on benzrom v3

I've noticed the same problem.
Tell me this: does your phone lie face up or down when you put it on your night table ?
So far, I've only noticed the cut-off alarm when the phone is face down. Maybe it's related to the feature the phone has for silencing (if phone rings, put it face down and it will go silent).

Just happened to me on stock non rooted official 4.1.2...It was face up if anyone's wonderin' :/
Sent from my GT-I8190N using xda app-developers app

I never put it face down. Always leave it face up.

Ok, that's one thing we can rule out.

It might however be indirectly because of that feature - for example, some bad sensor reading.
Since my last post my alarm has always rang, but I gave each of my (4) alarms a different name, and I happened to wake up a bit earlier than the alarm, wake the phone shortly to check the time, then go back to sleep.

Happened again to me on Benz v3. Really don't know what is the problem.

True.
FYI, I have a flip cover on my S III mini... maybe combination of sensors (proximity, orientation...)

Happened to me again just now. However I now know what's happening - the alarm seems to snooze itself. If you have snooze activated for the alarm it will ring again when the snooze timer ends (happened while I was typing this).

so, a workaround would be to set the least snooze to be closer to the alarm time?

[Q] I9070 "beep-beep" sound every night at 24.00! How to disable?

Hi,
I have a very strange and ANNOYING problem with my I9070: It has started to beep-beep once @ midnight.
It started after flashing Chucky's New Future ROM. I went back to stock LQB and then flashed SlimJB (With data/factory reset). The beep still occurs.
There's no warning message or anything. The phone is not in charger and it has enough battery left.
Last night I put the phone on silent, but still BEEP-BEEP!
The beep is not quite the same as the low battery beep.
Does anybody have and idea what this could be? Or how I could trace the origin of the beep?

It could be an alarm?
Or some app running in background???
Anyways does it display any message or something when it beeps?

No alarm set at that time.
It doesn't display any message or anything. Strange as f***.
I reflashed the deodexed LQB. Let's see if that helps..

Sounds like an app to me.... reverting to stock should work, if not then you are dealing with black magic

The beep is gone! I don't know what it was but it's fixed now. Reflashing helped I guess.

Most probably someone instaled you some alarm app, and set alarm at 00:00. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
