alarm clock didnt go off this morning
- Thread starter manilaboy1vic
- Start date
I dont use any task killers and have very few additional apps installed and have seen several small issues with the alarm clock.
First was the occasional ringing at a minute or two late, I have it set for 7:30 am M-F and have had it go off at 7:31 or 7:32 a couple times, now the other day my wife calls me at 7:37 and it decides to ring then so both the phone and alarm are going off at same time, I dont sleep through alarms or use snooze so I know thats not the issue...
I would hope whatever this is gets resolved as even the cheapest POS phone from a decade ago had a working alarm clock you could depend on, of course I have also never heard of a phones camera focus being dependent on some inner calender clock either....

This happen to me this morning but I think it was I had the alarm checked on the ATK.

good thing i still have my BB Tour, i might revert back to that... Alarm clock trouble is almost a deal breaker for me..
I will bet money it is the ATK, when the list comes up make sure that alrm box is unchecked and your problems will be fine. Also some people are using the volume keys to silence the alerts and ringing when sleeping at night, this will also lower the ringer volume for the alarm. Instead you have to go to settings>sound and display>and check silent mode. This will allow the alrm to go off but cancel all notification and call tones.
edit: A quicker way is to hold down the sleep button and silent mode will be in there also.

Was it from Gmail? Or was it tied to another account? If Gmail your email will be pushed to your phone as soon as the account receives it. Remember there are several factors from my keyboard to your screen that could have delayed the process. Try sending an email from one account to another on your home computer and you will see there can be time diffences. The phone is not to blame, it is a solid piece that people just havent taken the time to figure out. They want to turn on the phone and have it do everything for it. Just take a deep breath, count to ten and then read up on tips here on how to use your phone.

yep, gmail... ive been testing from my work email... i actually tried a pwr cycle.. the delievery just seems intermittent.. unlike the BB... dont get me wrong, i want to love this phone.. this whole alarm clock thing just started me on a rampage.. taking a step back.
Oh I hear ya brother, I have been there a time or two myself. You should have seen my whole yahoo fiasco! lol I now have eveything working great and like it should. The Gmail thing for me differs. Sometimes I get them right away and other times later, I attribute this to some other delay in the cyber universe. I also have my other accounts set up for 5 min checks and that works like clock work.
Hope your day gets better and you and your droid can makeup!

hmm i killed the sounds via the slider thing and tested it with the alarm and it worked fine the first day...im hoping putting alarm clock on ignore list via app killer resovles this... maybe i had the volume down..
so here is what im doing:
ignore list on app killer
slider "no sounds" (tested and works for sure) but volume all the way up..
it reallly shouldnt be this complicated.
