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?

I've had my hero for a week now and on 3 occasions the alarm i set in the clock menu has simply not gone off!?
Now i wouldn't sleep through it as its loud enough so i cant understand it. The alarm is set correctly so i'm well and truly baffled as to why its not working correctly.
Could there be a glitch in the software or something?
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks

Try searching the forum, I think similar topics were started before about this.
If I recall correctly it has to do with the volume being set on mute, or something like that. Try using the volume rocker when setting the alarm.
Hope that helps.
Are you regularly using a task killer?
Regards,
Dave

This is normally the case if you kill the clock using a taskiller app. If so move the clock to the ignore list.
Thanks for the replys folks.
Yeah i use advanced task manager so i'll create an exception and see how i go.
Thanks again

I had loads of problems with this originally, and can confirm it was all due to the Task Killer apps. If you dont use them, you wont get the problem.
I created an exception originally and it was fine, but now like others I have started trusting Android a bit more, and left it to its own devices, not using any task killer apps.
When 1.6 and 2.0 arrive on the Hero, you should notice a general performance boost anyway, as they have optimised the code to ensure background apps and processes take a smaller percentage of the CPU, so the phone should appear more responsive and require even less need for task killers.
I have to say that the following issue exists, too:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1109
I case you disable the shutter sound you'll get the alarm sound muted, too.
You can enable it on the screen where you choose an alarm tone.
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

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 am using the default alarm clock on the phone.
I generally snooze a few times in the morning, but am finding the snooze function to not work all the time.
I've found if i set my alarm for on the hour (5:00am), the snooze never works.
But if i set my alarm for 5 minutes past the hour (5:05am) it seems to work most of the time.
I have set my alarm to snooze 3 times with 5 minute intervals.
I am definitely hitting snooze and not by mistake turning the alarm off.
Is anyone else finding this alarm unreliable?
Can someone suggest a good alternative alarm to download?
I didn´t notice anything wrong with mine, but there are some good free alternatives in the market.
What ROM are you running? I haven't noticed this problem with mine.
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
Has anyone had any issues with the alarm clock on the S8? I got mine in February, and since day one, the alarm clock feature has never worked properly. Specifically, the repeat feature doesn't work. I can set the alarm for say 7:00am and have it repeat every day. The first day it will work from initially setting it, but it won't work on subsequent days. Ironically, it will display a 'missed alarm' message, which isn't ideal when you're reading it at 8:00am
The only way I can get it to work for the next day is to switch that alarm off and then on again.
Yes, I know I could buy an alarm clock, but that's not the point.
