Hi,
I´ve been using cellphones basicaly since they´ve first came out and most of the most primitive phones have always had the option to turn the phone on/wake up the phone with the alarm clock. So it strikes me as kind of strange that I cannot find this option on my Vibrant or on my wife´s Milestone. I´ve always used my cellphone as my alarm clock and I´ve always turned my phone off before going to bed...up until I got my Vibrant this was not a problem. Right now what I´m doing is turning both the Flight Mode and Silent Mode on when I got to bed, but it´s pretty hard to believe the alarm clock cannot wake up the phone.
Any thoughts?
cheers

Hello and Happy New Year to everybody!!
I recently started using my Hero as an alarm. Thus, while I am sleeping I set it to airplane mode so that the alarm rings. When I wake up it always shows a notification that the time zone has not been set. Rebooting the phone is the only way to fix it, except -of course- if I manually set it... Could this be a bug?
I received my tablet a couple weeks ago and I have flashed Harmony Gingerbread rom onto it. I have been very very happy with it so far but I have noticed one thing. The alarm clock is not working correctly.
I have the alarm clock programmed for 630AM in and I put my G Tablet onto the malata dock. Like normal after a short amount of time the screen will turn off. However when 630AM rolls around my alarm on my tablet wont go off. (I have my archos 70 alarm clock set just in case the alarm on the G Tab didn't work) When I hit the power button on my G Tab the screen comes up and then the alarm will start going off (however many mins later than 6:30am)
It seems as if the alarm clock does not force the G Tablet out of sleep mode. Where on my Archos 70 the alarm does force the tablet out of sleep mode.
Has anybody else had issue with this and/or know a fix for this?
Thanks,
Aawa
I use Calkulin's ROM with pershoot's kernel. I have my email set to check every 5 minutes, and wifi set to never sleep. I don't know if this helps keep the tab awake or not (results in about a 10% loss of battery overnight), but I tested the alarm for two mornings and both times it went off.
I wouldn't rely on it though.

I know that there has been issues with people having sleep issues with the dock. Try taking your tab out of the dock and see if that will allow the alarm to go off as it should.
Other than that, make sure that you are on the latest kernel by which ever kernel dev you prefer, as they are both continually updating with the latest-greatest...
Same thing here,
Not even having the dock with stock ROM. Device will not wake from sleep on events for what ever events they can be.
Let me know if any solutions,

I have the exact same problem. I posted on the Q&A side and didn't get much response. I did, however, find a fix that involves an app called Load Monitor. It can be set up to prevent the tablet from entering what they call "deep sleep".

My alarm has gone off correctly the past three mornings (using App Alarm set to open Pandora).
follow-up
OK,
I think I found something related to this issue, when I turn OFF the screen time out, the alarm come on however, I have no sound. BTW this seemd to be calendar related only. I tried all combination of sounds settings and nothing works.
I will try with the alarm clock to see how it goes.
Lets see with the next patch.

I still haven't been able to get this to work correctly. I installed App Alarm and Load Monitor last night and it didn't go off this morning. I will see if i made any configuration mistakes and see if that works.
Did you go to Load Monitor preferences put checks in "Add Notification," "Auto Start," and "Wake Lock," and then change "Update Interval" to 5 minutes?
Apparently I didn't have Wake Lock checked. I just changed that and will be testing it out.
Thanks for the advise!
Ran into this issue this morning after updating to Ginger Edition 7 RC1 last night. It worked great on Vegan 5.1.1 but not after the update. Good thing I am paranoid about oversleeping. I will check out the load monitor app as well.
I installed load monitor and tested the alarm before I went to sleep. It appeared to work as the screen had locked and the alarm went off. It went off on schedule this monring but I hit snooze and the entire tablet was powered off when I woke up 30 minutes later.
I solved my problem
Since reading all the posts here that people were leaning towards wifi being the problem I remembered seeing wifi setting having something called wifi behavior under advanced settings, while I was poking around my new tablet. I went to it and there is an option where you tell the wifi never to sleep. That seems to have done the trick. It has worked both plugged in and on battery. The battery drained from 75% to 65% from 10:30 last night to six this morning. Hope it helps
Just noticed I posted on the wrong thread. I meant to put it on the g tab won't. Wake after sleep thread but I guess. It could be a related issue.
Hi guys,
I upgraded to gingeredition recently and it's awesome! (thank you)
If I set an alarm for 2 minutes away, it works fine. On the other hand, my morning alarm never goes off. Does the gtab go into some sleep mode that would prevent alarms in the distant future from going off?

I went from 5.1 to gingeredition and really loving it but I have seen the same with the alarm...used to work and now doesn't if it's very far into the future. I'm guessing if the device goes to sleep it won't trigger the alarm until you wake it back up. Then it goes off!
Seems like it's not checking the alarms while asleep/screen turned off etc.
I had this same issue. I changed the backlight timeout to never, when in the alarm touched the lil icon to dim the screen and it eventually goes to a screen saver looking clock. I left it like that over night and the alarm went off in the morning.

You need to disable deep sleep during suspend (which is doable but takes some effort) or leave it turned on, plugged in or not, but not sleeping.
Check out Softlocker free on the market, and pershoot's OC kernel in the development section here. I'm running mine "never deep sleeping" and alarms/alerts work even if its been suspended for hours.
Hi, I'm using the stock alarm and recently it's stopped going off. When I do wake up, I turn on the screen THEN the alarm goes off, what does that mean? I don't use task killers. I do use aeroplane mode while sleeping but that's never caused trouble before.
Only changes that I've made recently was a mod to add boot into recovery etc. but it was an update of a mod I've been using for a long time without trouble.
This mod doesn't add an other alarm apk that can cause a conflict?
Do you see a other "alarm and clock" in your drawer?
Your alarm apk has green or blue indicators?
No, the mod doesn't say it affects the alarm, but I still wondered! I'm not using any other alarms. The alarm goes green when active.
I reset the phone twice and it did not help. I have noticed something: it works if I leave the phone on, if I put the phone in aeroplane mode then the alarm doesn't work. I will re-install the software to see if that helps.
Are you on ICS already?
Issue might be due to the time not in sync when in airplane mode.
Is your time settings set to automatic?
Interesting ideas ^^. Well I did not find out what the problem was, but I restored the ROM to a long time ago and the problem is gone. Yes, I'm on ICS already. I tried deleting all apps and that wasn't it either. I suspect it could have been a bug in a mod.
Hi, so
You turn on alarm
You shut the screen off
You turn on the screen and see the alarm is off?
Try another alarm from the market maybe? If you really want to keep this rom
I have an eken t02a tablet with stock rom. Everything works fine except for the alarm clock. No matter what alarm app i use, including stock, the alarm fails to ring at its appointed time in the morning. It rings as soon as I wake up the tablet by turning the screen on. This is quite problematic as the alarm is supposed to wake me up.. not the other way around. Any ways to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated!
TIA
