Hi,
I have an alarm set for 6am each morning and whilst it goes off, it actually produces 2 alarms!
Is this a known bug, and if so any solutions?
Cheers,
AP.
Hi,
I am facing the same problem. I have to mute it every evening to avoid this unwated alarm clock! :evil:
I've seen this from time to time (along with the alarm going off over an hour late!), a soft reset usually does the trick.

Guys,
My BA (running on WM5) has the alarm 'stuck' at a very awkward hour.
The surprising thing is that this time, 4 am, is not set on the alarm settings. And no matter what I do, it still wakes me up at 4 am.
If I set the alarm to another time, it will still get off at 4, and at the other time.
How do I sort this out?
Thanks,
Celzo
I have got the similar problem, alarm set to 8.15 AM but ringing at 9.15 AM on XDA||s. Any help?
Hi there
I've searched the forum and found out that my problem appears frequently but seems not to be solved
I have my SPV M650 with windows mobile 5
i set an alarm for desired hour eg 6am and the next day it goes of well
the next day i change this alarm to eg. 5.30 am
and i still goes off at 6am
or I switch it to 6.30 and then it goes on at 6 and 6.30
or i turn all alarms off and they still wake me up at the times they were set few days ago..
tried MemMaid and it shows that every alarm is saved for a couple of times, but removing them manually changes nothing
does anybody know a solution for my problem? (other than buying an alarm clock..)
cheers

Hi All,
I have been searching this forum but cannot find any threads with this issue.
Before i do a hard reset I want to check with other users if you have this issue and there is a fix.
My HTC Desire works fine during the day (most of the time). I put my phone on AC charge overnight and then the next day I first notice the No Sound issue is when my Alarm goes off (Snooze on Screen\Slide to Dismss etc) but there is no sound. The sounds a default tones and not custom MP3.
If I check all other sounds (ringtone, email\SMS notications etc) nothing plays so it is not just a silly alarm sound issue as other forums have experienced with manual Alarm sound turned off etc. All Volumes are set full.
The only way I can fix the issue is with a reboot which then fixes all the sounds during the day until i put my phone on AC charge overnight for the issue to repeat (and again not get woken up) which i need to do do to charge the battery and ensure I have enough charge for the next day.
I have been searching this and other forums all week but cannot find a fix for this issue.
I don't recall exactly when this issue started but it was around the time i updated to 2.1. I did have Task Managers (including all ignores for the clock) but these have been removed.
So I am thinking of doing a hard reset but before i do, if you have this issue and know of a fix then please help...
Thanks
Lee - and be nice if there is another thread already for this :--)
I'm using the stock alarm program and 3/5 times I've set an alarm nothing has happened when the alarm is supposed to go off. It always works when I set it to go off the next minute as a test case, but it's very unreliable for overnight use.
Any similar experiences or thoughts on why this happens?
Mines never not worked used it every day since I had the phone - I assume you are leaving the phone switched on right?
Did you kill the alarm&clock app (with Taskiller for example) ? This app needs to be active if you want it to work.
Mine works. Screen goes to sleep, alarm wakes it and me up no sweat.
Sorry, I actually figured it out right after posting, but yes the app is probably being closed sometime during the night. I put it on my ignore lists, it's too bad the alarm isn't some sort of a system service.

Try using alarm clock plus from market. It's a much improved alarm.
This all started yesterday morning. I had my alarm set, woke up later than I needed to with a notification on the phone that said Alarm Turned Off After 10 Minutes, telling me the alarm had gone off for 10 minutes and was automatically turned off.
I thought it was weird so I did some digging and it turned out that NONE of my sounds were working. The volume was up, silent mode was off, but I was getting nothing whatsoever from the phone speaker. Even speaker phone wasn't working. Headphones worked fine. It seemed my speaker had blown.
Well, later in the day (as I was preparing to take it back to Verizon) it just randomly starts working again. All sounds now seem fine.
So I set my alarm this morning. And this time, it didn't even go off, at all! I woke up 5 minutes after it was supposed to go off, and when I unlocked my phone, THEN the alarm started going off. It's almost like it isn't coming our of deep sleep to sound the alarm.
Are these two issues related; the sound issue yesterday and the alarm issues both days? Has anyone else experienced this? It seems to be random...sometimes I can replicate it, other times I cannot.
There's another thread about this somewhere...try a search for "alarm". It's happened to me often enough that I can't rely on my Gnex as an alarm clock...I have to use my old SGS instead. I've also had loss of sound occasionally, but a reboot always fixes it.
Wish someone would figure out a solution, it's pretty annoying to have a bug like this in the alarm. Even the cheapest, crappiest dumbphone you can buy comes with a reliable alarm app, but my expensive smartphone does not? (and yes, I've tried other alarm apps besides the stock one...they all fail to go off intermittently.)

Thanks for the input. I use my alarm daily and this is the first time I've had this issue.
As an aside (but perhaps related issue?), my gmail app has uninstalled itself and I can't get it reinstalled. Looks like it's time for a reflash.

Yes I would reflash before you miss a flight or the interview to your dream job!
One thing I miss about my old blackberry is the alarm. Put it in the cradle and the time would dim, all notifications would turn off and the alarm would fire every time, every when the battery had been drained and switched off. Pity everything else sucked...
I've yet to have a problem.
Maybe you're getting SOD's (or close-to) in the middle of the night and the phone is having trouble waking itself up?
Try adjusting your governor and turn your undervolts up if they're enabled.
I am, however, fairly OCD about my alarms...
I reboot my phone before opening the alarm app and ONLY the alarm app...
Make sure the alarm is enabled...
And turn the screen off.
I've done this since my OGDroid days.
I also have the trusty DX as a backup...set 10 minutes later; just in case.
