[Hero, G2 Touch General] graculusthegreenbird:
The whole point of setting the alarm is that you can just leave it and know that it will go off at the assigned day and time. Unfortunately, it is just not reliable at the moment. I have already been late for work once, and have gone back to using my WinMo phone for the alarm, as at least that works every time.

It does seem to be an Android issue, I have seen it mentioned on other forums for other handsets, but I want to track down exactly what might be causing it on the Hero, and if there is a work around until HTC/Android releases fix it.

First off, the screen is switched off, but the phone is stil powered on, just like any other phone when you have the alarm set.

When I got the phone on Thursday, I set the alarm for Monday through to Friday, 10.30am.

Friday morning, the phone wakes and the alarm goes off at 10.30. Fine.

Monday morning, nothing happens. Go into the settings, check alarm set for the correct time and day, all is fine, it just didnt go off.

Tuesday morning, it works fine, phone wakes and alarm goes off at 10.30.

Wednesday morning, nothing. WinMo phone alarm wakes me at 10.34. I switch on the Hero's screen, and immediately the alarm goes off, 4 minutes late!

Last night I didnt charge it, thinking it may be an issue when being charged. But this morning it didnt work, so it is not an charging issue.

The Alarm icon was showing the top corner, so the alarm was obviously set, and the Clock App was still running (I checked in Advanced Task Killer). I will try to set it again tonight from scratch, and see if that works.

Having to set it every night would be a pain, but at least it would actually work like it is supposed to.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sibbor:
I've got the same issue and was about to get late for work this very morning just because of it. Luckily me I've got some sleeping disorders so I woke up before the clock should have went of either way... ;)

HTC Needs to fix the clock in their TouchFLO..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] skydivesanta:
Got somewhat the same problem...

Could a hard reset help?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dream_Team:
A hard reset didn't do the trick for me. I really need the alarm clock to work so I think I'll buy an alarm clock app on the market, but I shouldn't have to ...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ewans:
If you are using taskiller or advanced task manager, make sure you exclude the clock app from killed processes. I had this problem, when the clock came back after being killed the alarm wouldn't work even though the icon was there. Excluding it fixed it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stripealipe:
Cheers Ewans, i was killing the clock process and it was this that stopped my alarm this morning. Made me late! Still, i forwarded my boss this link so he could read himself. (Not that he was mad. He's a great boss!)

We should maybe think about making a list of processes, what they do and what you can/can't kill.

For instance, i don't use the Twitter widget as i find the notification bar and having Peep on my home screen just as quick and less resourceful hungry. But if you kill Peep sitting in the background, it will stop any notifications, so this needs to be left alone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dream_Team:
Even if I don't kill it (noticed that too), it still fails to go off sometimes.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] graculusthegreenbird:
Yes, it is not totally obvious what is going on yet.

The fix (based on one days trial!) seems to just before I sleep to go into the clock app, disable the alarm, then immediately enable it again.

This results in the "Your alarm will sound in 7 hours 10 minutes" type message.

That worked this morning, the question is if I leave it alone now, and dont kill the clock app, will it still work tomorrow? And if I restart the phone, will the Clock app and then the alarm still be running or do I have have to go into the Clock App manually?

If my clock is showing on the home page, and the alarm icon is in the top bar, I expect the alarm to go off.

It should not be possible to kill the alarm process, it shouldnt be part of the clock app at all, but a separate background process with settings controlled by the clock app, but not reliant on the clock app running.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] H5N1_NL:
This is what I've found out.

When you program your alarm for multiple days, it only sounds the first day.

If you uncheck and check your alarm, it will go of the next day.

This is without using TasKiller or something similar and without resetting. (just did nothing)

It looks like the multiple day option is a fake and you will have to set it every day. Allthough I haven't tried out multiple alarms, thinking about seven alarms, but you'll have to reset at least once a week.

Good luck waking up
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ewans:
Alarm works fine for me now, I use one for weekdays that goes off everyday, and another just on Sundays at a different time. I'm using a standard G2.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Nemo0815:
Check out the alarm volume settings.

The alarm has its own volume setting which can be change when you are inside the clock app and select the ringtone for an alarm (by pressing the standard volume up/down keys).

By accident mine was set to lowest value so it didn't go off but just vibrated.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] graculusthegreenbird:
Ok, after a week of testing, it seems that if you dont bugger around with killing the clock app via Task Killer or something else, it is fine.

I havent yet seen whether it will still be set if I completely switch off and switch on again. I will try that tonight. Even though alarm icon is shown, will the alarm be set without me going into the Clock app explicitly?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] barryallott:
Works for for me, 2 alarms set for 6:15 & 6:30am mon - fri, never had an issue.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Rauko:
I've looked around a little but I can't seem to find anyone with this exact problem. The phone was working just fine until a day or two ago then it seemed very laggy and sluggish. This morning it just up and quit.

I've got a cingular 8125

IPL/SPL 2.25.0001

GMS 02.25.11

OS 2.25.11.1

SPB mobile shell is installed

It will load the Cingular screen, display the information above then change to the blue windows Mobile screen, for a short time (about 45 seconds) it will respond to button, screen taps, ect. After that time is up the back light will not come on but the screen never goes off. I am still able to see the windows screen if I have another light source. The Green and Bluetooth light both flash at the top of the phone as if it was standing by. I would like to be able to fix this issue without deleting or losing the information off the phone.

If there is any other information I can give to get this fixed just let me know.

Thank you all for any help. I appreciate it a lot.

Hi dont know if the Apache has the same Backup Batterie like the Qtek 9090/BlueAngel but several other devices has the same typ. Its the Varta V18HRT Its unfortunately not that easy to come by.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rogatsby:
I am having a really hard time with cooking WM 6.5 roms. Everything seems to build OK, and the flash goes fine with no errors. However, on the first boot after flashing, I get the welcomehead screen and hear the sound that plays when screen alignment starts, but the screen alignment message does not come up and fails to start. Then after a while, the screen goes white.

Funny thing is, once in awhile, screen alignment will actually start and then customization runs fine. But this is only about 20% of the time.

Been searching the forums but can't find any clues or answers.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I've never had a problem with these tweaks on 6.1, but this is my first stab at 6.5.

ok but what are the "and so on"....have you changed any of the drivers?

Hello folks,

Something weird is annoying the hell out of me.

I've got this server sync going on for P3300 (artemis, winmo 6.0) devices, which syncs these folders:

Programs (filled with a few program shortcuts)

Settings (Filled with a few settings shortcuts)

And Windows\Startmenu (which holds shortcuts to Programs and Settings folders)

On the Artemis the shortcuts in Windows\Startmenu\*.* work. They point to a folder Programs or Settings in the root of the device, which holds my custom shortcuts.

Now, here's my problem: the Jade syncs the same way, but after syncing, the shortcuts to the Programs and Settings folders in the root just don't work! They don't do anything. Does anyone have a clue on that?

It stays amber for a reasonable amount of time, then turn green. But as soon as I turn it on the charging light goes off.

The battery meter at the top of the screen shows FULL, but if I go to Settings and check there the battery shows down at one single red bar. The phone shows no inclination to switch off (even when not plugged in) with the power meter down at one red bar.
