I am getting frustrated with this as I have been late two times last two weeks because the alarm clock has not activated.
The phone is on (witch is stupid, should be able to wake up and ring as every old phone is capable of doing) but it is on, the alarm sound is adjusted to the highest level and still sometimes for no reason it does not ring! The alarm is still active (one time alarm) when I wake up 1-2h later so nothing has happened, it just skipped to ring.
Is there a remedy for this because it is a MAJOR problem. I don't want to have to buy a alarm clock for that job, it is a smartphone for crying out loud and my stupid 10 year old nokia does this without any problems 100% reliable...
When you use app such as taskkiller and kill clock process then alarm will not ring. Before going sleep restart your phone and dont touch taskkiller. Or add clock to ignored list.
go to clock settings>alarms and click on one alarm which you want...let's say first one..you will see numbers,description,alarm sound...etc
click alarm sound and instead of clicking a tone,just click the side button (volume) and you will seethe green bar as if you were changing your ringer volume...just set it to desired level
and note that this has nothing to do with phone being in vibrate or silent mode..it will ring regardless
i had the same issue until i figured out how to deal with it
and trust me...the phone itself ad the alarm are reliable
I agree with both of these answers.
I had exactly the same problem before i added the clock to the ignore list. It will still show the alarm as activated, but it will not ring.
Do both and you should be fine.
shutting down third party apps with a task manager is one thing , but leave the pre-installed android apps alone. they're running for a reason, dammit
Thanks guys you were right the taskkiller did kill the alarm, it appeared still to be active in the settings and icon in the notification bar (that confused me) but the alarm did not go off. Added it to the whitelist and tested a couple of times - worked fine!
Why does it not work when turned off? The clock keeps the time while the phone is off, so it seems natural that the alarm would also work - maybe a 2.1 update? Older phones would power up for the alarm..
Thanks again!
it's just not something that works on HTCs. They're designed to be on all the time.
i use advanced task killer free and everything works..no problem with such things...
i switched to ATK because taskiller seemed to consume too much memory
i tried ATK while taskiler was on and i had ...25-30 mb less memory then i uninstalled taskiller and got those back....
strange...how can a utility consume so much ram

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
show me a single smartphone that does this...
you are confusing cellphones and smartphones here. smartphones are designed to be on all the time, that is why they invented the airplane mode.
take it easy please,be friendly and try not to sound rude
thanks

I'm curious if there is an application and or modification I can do to control the charging status lights. I use my Eris as an alarm clock and would really love it if I could disable that particular LED.
I'm not sure of any app but I have the same issue, since the speaker is on the opposite side I lay my phone face down so I can't see the led but still hear the alarm
Sent from my Froyo Eris using XDA App
Is there an alarm app that uses the accelerometer or light sensor to snooze ?
I didn't find one.
try to look for
"Sanfter Wecker" (German) or "Gentle Alarm"
Its the best Alarm App for Android!
Wow, Gentle alarm looks really cool, thank you.
Gentle alarm just decided not to wake me up today and I missed school.
It says it's a demo version.
So I'm looking for a free app now. Any suggestions ?
An Alternative is Alarmdroid it is also has Speech Output, to tell you what time it is.
alarm with voice reaction
anyone knows app which wakes up in the morning but you can silence it with your voice? e.g you say silence and alarm shuts up?
I installed cm9 on my phone and I was wondering if there was a way to get the fade in alarm tone that is available on stock moto. I find myself being able to wake up a lot more easily compared to the standard ones that blare as soon as it's supposed to come on.
AlarmClock Pro app will allow you to fade any alarm tone in and out as needed
Searching high and low, I FINALLY found one!
A while back I posted HERE looking for an Alarm Clock app or modification that permits leaving the screen off while alarms are sounding. I am a heavy sleeper and all the other alarm clock apps I tried automatically wake the phone screen whenever an alarm is playing. This was putting enormous strain on my (non-replaceable HTC One M8) battery, reducing its calendar life by draining 20-40% of the power before I regain consciousness every morning.
So far out of about 10-12 clock apps I have tried, this is the only one I have found that will play an alarm and leave the screen off (or dimmed if you like):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.tanyu.SmartAlarmFree
It also has many other great features like launching an app on alarm trigger, gentle (ascending) song/ringtone/alarm volume, use music files as alarms and more!
THANKS TO THE DEVELOPER OF THIS!!!!!!
