I´ve been scanning some forums and it has been suggested that using a taskkiller is a no-go. If that is right then something is badly amiss with the architecture - a non-rooted taskkiller should have no permission to kill, what I would expect to be root tasks such as the alarm.

Are you sure that the alarm is the problem?

Lately I experienced problems with the alarm, but the real problem is that the clock doesn't update! It freezes and then suddenly jumps forward to the right time.

My alarm was set to 0700, but when I woke up I immediately understood that I overslept. I looked at my phone and the clock showed 06:48 and I was confused. A few seconds later the clock changed to 1003 which was the right time.

This problems has encountered many times, which makes the phone useless as an alarm clock.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iammichel:
Been using the alarm every morning for the past 2 months now, without any problems.

I also use launcher pro, and have advanced task killer set to aggressive, though with alarm in ignore list. I can press home button to check time after alarm is set, and the alarm will go off as planned.

The only minor thing I'm encountering is that I sometimes find myself turning off the alarm completely by pressing the stop button when the smooth alarm goes off, while still half asleep, when in fact I want to snooze until the real alarm goes off. I somehow need to train myself to press the home button when waking up at the first alarm...

I used to do this myself, so I now have three alarms set to go off within five minutes of each other. So far I haven't managed to stop all three. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Qazz~:
The bug that i have experienced is that If i wake before the alarm rings and i off it manually by going into "clock" the alarm still rings on the time ive set. Happened to me twice so far and i'm very sure that i have offed the alarm as the alarm sign in the taskbar was not there. The bug only occurs when i set the alarm overnight, If i set it for 2 mins from now and off it halfway, it deosn't ring which is correct.. but leaving it overnight, then waking up myself and offing it, it still rings when the time ive set the night before has reached...

Alarm

Hi,

I disabled all task killers etc. yesterday and set the alarm (with my old mobile as backup!). It worked - I pressed snooze but the alarm did not sound again....

A colleague experienced my original problem this morning and arrived late for work...

My main issue with the sgs is that a "root"-system task like the alarm should not be killable by any other app. not posessing root rights.

Sure I could add the alarm app. to the ignore list of my task killer but it feels wrong and should be unnecessary.

I´ll try the other alarm apps. recommended (and add them to the ignore list of my task killer as they are not native sgs "system" apps.).

Cheers,

Mark
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hondaguy:
i use the alarm every single day and i dont think i have your issue, and by that i mean i dont ever do the steps that you listed.

the only time i had the alarm not come back on after hitting snooze is when i used the smart alarm. since i dont use check the smart alarm box i have no issues, and i hit snooze 3-5 times every morning!

i did have an issue with the alarm not going off at all and i figured out that if i set an alarm, then pressed the back key while in the alarm app it would close the app and the alarm wouldnt work. just before i go to bed i open the alarm app then press the home button (while the screen is still on) and i have not had an issue in over two weeks.

i do not use task killers any more. i do use the built-in task killer to kill the music player or any streaming apps or i just press the back key while in any other app that i dont want running in the background and my device runs great

[Galaxy S I9000 General] knikos:
Hi,

I am also experiencing the same alarm bug.

When i set it and leave the phone unused for a couple of hours it doesn't go off in the scheduled time (and not even after I turn on the screen).

Also the clock doesn't update....for 1-2 seconds after turning on the screen it shows a past time!

I 've searched elsewhere and the problem might be that the phone goes into a deep sleep/suspend state and the alarm app cannot wake it, only by manually turning on the screen.

One solution is to leave it connected to the charger all night, so it doesn't go to deep sleep.

The thing is that i cannot recall having this problem before rooting the phone with OCLF 2.0.

I am wondering if RyanZA's minfree has to do something, and if it is possible to exclude the alarm/clock app from ever being killed.

I am using the latest standard firmware JF5 and Android 2.1 update 1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
I've not had that issue, but I'll tell you one thing I've had happen once or twice... if I set the countdown timer, the lock screen sometimes appears over the top of it when it goes off and then when you unlock it, you are just greeted by the home screen and not the clock, despite the thing going off, so you can't turn off, and you can't even switch to the task because trying to do so opens another clock - so you end up having to kill it with the task manager.

I'd actually forgotten about that little bug when I was ranting in another thread.

I've said it before though - I would NOT rely on this phone for anything mission critical.

i also have the alarm clock problem since day 1 .. :(

now it's better with fw jm8 anyway...

i don't use taskkillers etc..btw.. :)

but still i had 2 alarm occations that it missed..

i'm thinking it maybe could be amount of available ram that is the cause? :confused:

the 2 times alarm have missed is when i have i have forgotten to clear ram using the samsung task manager.. :confused:

u who have problems....how much available free ram u have?

and have you changed the snooze settings?..(i'm thinking this also could be the problem.... hmmm )

Daylight Savings Bug

Another bug I have noticed was when daylight savings switched over recently here in Australia.

I set the alarm for 8:00 but the alarm went off at 9:00. The time on the phone was adjusted automatically for daylight savings time, but the alarm was still set to the "old" 8:00, not the new daylight savings 8:00.

Interesting...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it doesn't make sense that the internal running tasks are stopped when the phone is in sleep mode

something must be killing it or stopping it, otherwise it should be running

have you done a factory format yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] knikos:
Problems exactly arise when smthing doesn't make sense.

Alarm Clock plus seems to work better though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
the first thing i do when something is not working properly is to factory format and reset

then if it still doesn't work, the phone is defective

if it works, then it was a bunch of mixed apps causing confusion on the system settings

and it'll take some time to figure out which one is the app at fault

hi there

first of all, have to mention that i'm writing this post for 3rd time in a row, and i'll be mad if this post gets erased by mistake from me once more :D

anyway, have a silly question probably but i'd like to hear your thoughts...

i like to be outdoor as much as i can and i do a lot of trainings and sports...

since i've got a gps on my Tytn 2 i like to use it to log all the data possible and than later review it on computer...

since it's hard to be outdoors 24h while using your GPS on ppc without charging it, i started to look for a "green" charger... although the tytn battery isn't old, the gps drains it fast...

first i got caught by those solar chargers... but from what i've read on net they don't work at all as "solar chargers".... in fact they would need 1-2 days of high solar emission to charge their internal battery only. so basically, those chargers are out in this case...

than i tried googling for a motion charger...

got several links but found only 2 of them that i could buy... this

http://www.npowerpeg.com/

which is quiteeee expensive and this http://www.wwtsasia.com/generator.htm cranking style generators seems okay, but it's hard to run and rotate that wheel all the time... on the other way i can't find those pumping style generators to buy which could be of possible use to charge the Tytn.. what do you think?

than i found this links:

http://www.ecofriend.org/entry/eco-gadgets-etive-a-kinetic-energy-charger-for-passionate-hikers/

http://www.ecofriend.org/entry/eco-...harger-recharges-your-cellphone-in-2-seconds/

http://cleantechnica.com/2008/08/25...by-kinetic-motion-will-be-released-next-year/

http://www.gadgets-reviews.com/cargador-de-celular-charger.html

http://newsroom.orange.co.uk/2008/06/24/orange-launches-dance-powered-charger-at-glastonbury/

although the news dates are few years old, i can't find those chargers on market...

there is a DIY version here http://www.instructables.com/id/Breath-powered-USB-charger/ but seems hard to do and use for outdoor activities...

anyway, a final question, is there any motion charger with an available price on the market which i could use to charge my Tytn 2?

thanks a lot for your opinions

bye

[Q] Wierd WiFi and Market

So my Market problem is similar to some of the other people's on different devices. Except for one thing. It was fine before. Going into more detail, I recently flashed my phone to JM9 and applied the Tayutama rom. After doing some Titanium Backup, apps+data, I tried to update some of my apps but noticed that it hangs at the starting download part. Also, the downloading icon appears then disappears.

Then another odd thing happened. I figured I'd leave my phone to try and download, see if it could work itself out. When I come back I get a text from Rogers saying that I tried to use data ( I don't have a data plan atm). Unless the WiFi goes off in the standby mode, I don't see how this could happen?

How do I get my APN settings for my carrier? It's currently displaying Sprint as my carrier and it's causing problems.

How do I change my APN settings once I have the appropriate Carrier settings?

Is it possible to get an official rom, or is there some way to restore my phone back to it's original version of Android? And if so, how?
