Since updating to the custom 2.0 Rom I'm experiencing a problem with the alarm clock. When setting an alarm the phone will only vibrate, no audio is played. This happens for all alarm sounds available, even if I try setting a custom alarm set with ring droid.
Has anyone else experienced this or knows of a fix. Would it be possible to just re install the clock app?
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
Hi,
I have looked for this but can't find it.
Does anyone know or is already working on a Sunshine Alarm App?
Like a standard alarm app but 10 or 15mins before wake up time the phone's LED comes on at a low level up to full brightness when the alarm notification sounds.
Thanks,

AFAIK, the phones Notification LED has only one brightness. Anyway, Gentle Alarm is somewhat close to what you are requesting, you can check it out:

Hey everyone,
I'm not an Android developer, just a user who knows how to flash a ROM.
I use Gentle Alarm as my clock, and I want a way to have just Gentle Alarm without any other apps running, and without even being able to run anything else. Basically, I want to convert my smartphone into a dumb alarm clock at night, and make it so that I have to reboot it to start messing with email, twitter, etc.
The reason I don't use a regular "dumb" alarm clock (which is ideal for me, really) is that I need something that vibrates and doesn't ring.
Any ideas?
Maybe turn airplane mode on. It will turn off your data connection, so no notifications to bother you at night. Plus, you don't need to reboot in morning

At my job I work at different shows with different showtimes for each stage. I set 6-7 alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a a showtime. None of these stages have the same showtimes and they don't occour at regular intervals. So my alarms are labeled orange1 orange2, blue1-blue6 etc.
I am looking for an app that will let me schedule a series of alarms that I can enable at the beginning of the day. An alarm stack or an alarm playlist if you will. If I'm working orange I enable orange, if I'm at green I enable all the green alarms
Does anyone know of an app that might be able to do this?
