Strange alarm issue (WM6)

Alright, I have an odd issue with the alarm I set two nights ago.. I set it to go off every day at 8AM.
Well, it does go off at 8AM, and then it spawns another alarm, and another, etc, until the device is playing about 20 sounds at once and ends up either crashing or just won't respond for several minutes.
Soft resets of course won't help, and I really don't want to do a hard reset, any thoughts?

Strange... maybe it's something you have installed -- don't have that issue myself, and my WM6 (Official) Dash >is< my daily alarm clock.

This is COMPLETELY happening with me...
I have the same issue. There are two things happening...
1) set an alarm for 7am, it goes off....then change it to 8am....it will go off at 7am AND 8am until you reboot the phone....in other words, if you change the alarm, you have to reboot.
2) spontaneous and MULTIPLE alarms going off at seemingly unpredictable times...this is a bug...and no one has a clue why or how to reproduce.
I think it's a Tmobile thing since an early ROM image prior to Tmobile didn't have this issue..

I can also confirm this- It has to be a bug in WM6.
Hopefully this will be corrected on the next ROM release.

I think most everyone has this problem. At least I did. You have to wait until all the alarms are done going off, dismiss them all. Follow these instructions>>>>@ http://forum.dashsmartzone.com/index.php?showtopic=722&hl=alarm
It sucks having to do this every other day or so. But It's well worth it.

Alarm won't change time and is always going of at 4:30am HELP!

So i have no idea whats going on. On my Alarms tab I once had it set at 4:30am to wake me up for a flight and now even though I've changed it it still goes off every morning at 4:30am.
Anyone have this strange problem and know a remedy?

im having the same problem.when i change the alarm it goes off at the new time i set but it also goes off at the old time. what rom are you using? Im using pays lite 6.0 rom

I've got the same issue. I'm running schap's 4.31 ROM.
It first came up a few months ago and I thought it was related to HTC Home. When I uninstalled it it went away. I seems to have been a coincidence because this weekend it came back. The only change that happened was that for some strange reason my time zone was changed so I changed it back. Ever since then the alarm has been stuck on where it was set at 6:30 :40 and :50am no matter what I change the current alarm to.
Thinking I had things narrowed down I changed the time zone back and forth one zone/hour while the alarm was set to the correct alarm time 7:30 :40 :50am.
Now I have a THIRD set of alarms going off at 8:30 :40 :50am. I literally have 20 minutes of alarms for three hours M-F.
Looking in the registry reveals nothing, the alarms are set for the correct times there and the ghost alarms can't be found. No amount of turning alarms on or off and soft reseting has any effect.

Hi guys,
I had the same problem - two hidden alarms. You need to clear notification queue. It can be done with SKtools.
Regards

Do you live upstairs from me?
Who ever that is up there has a super load and annoying alarm that goes off NON STOP from 4:30am to 7:00am Very Very annoying...

buddy, its telling you to quit smoking weed ten minutes is enough...
peace bro

The problem's probably that Windows has got the event stuck in its schedule.
A number of tools will clear the list for you. If you download Pocket Mechanic from Wizcode the time-limited demo is fully-functional. Good software, it's good enough that I bought it after trying. Took me ages to work out how to sort the same alarm issue a coupleof years ago.

Help Need alarm Please help

I have never seen this addressed before so I am starting a new thread.
I am running official 6.1, google maps with valhala, and skyfire.I just returned from a trip out west. Yesterday morning my alarm went off.....with the previous day's time, but I had no alarms set at that time. I turned off phone took out battery rebooted to see if that fixed the problem. I also deleted all descriptions, unchecked all alarms, and all days (current unchecked times 5:30,5:40 and 6:05).
Alarm went off again this morning at 5:20a, 6:00a, and then the strange stuff at 6:20a, 7:20a, 8:20a (but this time alarm time reads 5:20a all with the previously deleted description "work"). I need help Short of Hard reset, any ideas or has anyone seen this kind of thing? Note: never had this problem before 6.1.

Spoke to VZ Tech help they've never heard of anything like this, Hard Reset this morning

Tilt2 suddenly lost 27 minutes

10 days ago I went to pick up my phone and noticed that the clock time didn't look right. When I looked at a regular clock I could see that my phone was 27 minutes slow. I thought my phone was syncing time with the network, but it's not and I can't even find a setting that allows that. I had to manually reset the time on the phone to correct it. I wondered if I might have changed the time by accident and passed it off as odd.
Two days later it happened again and then it happened again the day after that. Within a one week period this happened 3 times. I installed TimeSyncTZ to give myself piece of mind.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. If it keeps happening I think I might need to get my Tilt2 replaced.

Settings/clocks and alarms
Set the home time zone.
We have 2 tilt2's and this happened to both last week. We changed them to eastern US and i just saw mine was on indiana AGAIN,BUT my time is correct for eastern US

I thought it was possibly a time zone issue, but then it would have been off by an hour. My time zone never changed. It's always been set to GMT -6. In fact I have several time zones set up on my phone and they were all off by 27 minutes just like the local time.
The only thing that changed was the time on the clock as if I had gone and set it myself to some random time. The 2nd and 3rd time it happened it was off by about 30 minutes as well. It was if time stood still on my phone for a little while.

WM6 was freezing my Tilt last week. I got fed up troubleshooting and upgraded to 6.1 on Monday. Yesterday I noticed my time off by a few hours (and minutes) while the device was connected to my PC. It was about 11:15am and my device showed 8:07am. This was the 1st issue with time since I had the device. It wasn't a TZ issue and shortly after I disconnected from the PC, the time sync'd correctly with the network. The device did not match the PC time either. I'm continue to monitor, though.

Mine is yet again set to indiana for some reason. Doesnt make much of a difference i dont think. Same time zone. Odd that its not sticking hen i set to eastern

have you considered alien abduction as a cause for your missing minutes?

WTF!
I'm late to work this morning bacuase, some how, the phone lost 45 minutes over night! Just sitting there!
How the hell did that happen!? It's unacceptable!
This is a stock T-mobile USA.

I've been lucky that all three times it happened to me were during the daytime when I had a good idea about what the time really was. I couldn't help thinking about what would happen if it did that in the middle of the night and I got up late for work. I'd be in the same boat with you. I haven't used a watch or an alarm clock for years. This is the first time I've had a cell phone mess up the time like that.
Unacceptable is the word that comes to mind for me as well.

If you got to:
Settings -> Communications -> Phone (change settings) -> Advanced -> Time zones
The check box: 'Automatic change time zone and clock'
I had that set, so it should correct the clock if anything goes wrong... SURELY!?

I kept having this problem too (I'm on the East Coast, and it kept changing to Indiana). The only way I could fix it was to uncheck the "Automatic change time zone and clock" box on the Time Zones tab in phone options, and it seems to be OK now. Maybe the towers are off... Definitely weird and annoying.

Let's just say I haven't ruled it out yet.

[Q] Time issues

Hi all.
Having an issue with my EVO that I can't seem to figure out and was hoping that someone here might be able to help.
At (what seems to be random times) my phone will be 1 hour behind. It seems like it changes to Central Time (I'm Eastern) ... I'd say this has happened 5-7 times in the last month or so.
Just this morning my alarm went off ... I got up and when I left the house my phone said it was 9:20am... I stopped at the gas station and when I got back in the truck I noticed the clock on my dashboard said it was 10:20am.... I was like what the hell?
I looked at the phone again and it said it was 9:20am. So I touched the clock and it went into the clock settings. There it said I had two locations... Lexington, KY (time 10:20am) and Eastern Time (10:20am also) ... when I went back to the main screen it updated to 10:20am.
Usually when I have this issue it requires a reboot to fix.
I'm running Fresh EVO 4.2.0.0
Anyone have any ideas... I use this as my alarm and it's made me late to work several times now and I just can't have that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

I had that problem with one rom I used, I forgot which one. But basically the htc clock widget was the problem, thinking you were in a different time zone. Remove that widget, and use another one. I prefer Simi Clock Widget

Hi.
Well I had hoped it was something this simple. I replaced the widget as suggested with the simi clock (which I actually like better... thanks) and I installed an alarm app to replace the alarms I was using via the stock widgit thing.
I am really thinking this is a Sprint issue now as I was going to lunch with a buddy of mine yesterday and he had the same issue at the same time. He asked me if my phone was an hour off and mine was. He then said whelp it is fixed, and mine flipped to the correct time. Then seconds later both of our changed back to being an hour behind.
Again this morning (and still now) it's an hour early... so my 8:30 am alarm just went off at 9:30am which reminded me to post up here again.
Any suggestions besides calling Sprint and banging my head against a stupid tech that doesn't believe me?
Thanks,
Brian

If you wanted to keep the original clock and settings theres an app on the market called Clocksync, it syncs to the atomic clock, works hella good.
fixes clock drfiting, especially if you have multiple clocks on every screen , like me.
works for root and stock users.

I downloaded clocksync today and set that up. Hopefully that solves the problem. I'll post up once I test for a few days.
Thanks,
Brian

MIne would do that also after I rooted it with unrevoked and was running the stock rom. It would tell me my location was somewhere in Russia with their time. Would have to go into settings and manually enter time zone instead of using network time. Then after a while (randomly) would swith back again and I would have to start over. Only did it though after I rooted. Not bare bone stock ruu.

Seems as if loading clock sync and using that instead of Sprint for time sync has fixed my problem.
My friend that was having the same issue also did this and it has fixed his problem also.
Thanks,
Brian

My wife's clock widget was doing that after one of the OTA updates last winter, then a later one seems to have fixed it.
Neither of us have the problem now as we've both rooted and gone to a gingerbread kernel that doesnt exibit the problem.

I had this problem for a while, found that my router was set to the wrong time zone and the phone would update from the router when it was connected to it and would not change back till it checked the Sprint network. Never figured out how to force it to check Sprint though. It was fixed with a small update from Sprint a little while back.
