hi,
I use the alarm on my phone everyday and while it works just as an alarm should, when it goes off in the morning and I want to turn it off I have to press the tiny little 'Dismiss' in the bottom corner (quite tough when you're only half awake and the dial button is ust below it) or menu, snooze etc etc
does anyone know if there is an alarm program that has two big buttons for off and snooze? (eg the same big red and green ones you get for answering or rejecting a call perhaps)
thanks
For my alarm i use the Klaxon alarm! Works great.. big "OFF" and "SNOOZE" button!
try G alarm!
Yes, G-Alarm is the best IMO.
try chronos

Hi Guys,
Apologies if asked already.. but is there a way to turn down the volume of the alarm clock on the Desire? It seems to shout out at close to full volume.. which almost woke the whole house this morning!
Cheers,
Mick

If I remember correctly, you can turn down the Alarm Volume by pressing the hardware buttons VOL +- while inside the Alarm Tone screen. (where you set up your alarm tone etc)

This is correct. Found it myself last night.
cool thanks lads
Hi,
I've got a little problem with my Desire. I've got an alarm going off almost every day. If I dismiss the alarm it actually snoozes for 10 minutes and then goes off again, i've to redismiss it to cancel the alarm. Someone experienced the same? Maybe someone got a solution
Thanks,
zoidi
Yes, I've noticed the issue this morning!!!
Now you confirmed my problem, then!
I can confirm I've had this...I assumed I must have hit the snooze as I tried to swipe down (they inexplicably place snooze in the direct path you have to swipe!)

The only person it annoys is the missus since I'm in the shower and she's trying to catch a few extra zzz

Can't say I've had the problem myself but I usually swipe from further up the screen to avoid the snooze button, maybe half way up the screen. I've assigned snooze to the side buttons so it's easier to use that too.

I do that too and she's not happy - I get up at 5:00 am. I thought it was me reaching for the phone and catching the snooze button but maybe not.
I'll tell her it's not me but a bug with the phone.

It's only happened to me the once, so I assume I DID hit snooze rather than dismiss.
Hi,
thank you for your answers. Luckily this morning, it did not happen again. The only thing I did was rebooting the phone yesterday. Hope this solved the issue. I'll tell you when I know more ^^
Anyone using TouchLockPro or PocketShield?
What are your impressions, pros/cons?
Thanks
Touch lock pro is really good but i removed it because some major features weren't working, maybe its just the ROM i used. But its great!
I was using s2u2, but kept having issues, probably has more to do that I don't use a stock rom, versus the program, but I switched to pocket shield and have no issues with it. I don't use all the features, just mainly the screen lock.

hmm good to know...I was about to ask about S2U2 too...it looks great...but I was reading the threads on it and it seams like issue after issue that people are talking about...maybe just the users/roms/or devices...idk
I downloaded the trial version of Pocket Shield...which you can use for 10 days before having to buy it.
Noticed some issues...probably things that just I would notice ...
(1) It enables the ability to select Repeat...under settings>Sounds&Notifications>Notifications>Reminders [I thought this was great...since this feature disappeared after WM 2003]
(2) in the same area...under Voicemail, Missed Call, and Text Messages you can now enable "flash light"...although these options are no available for New MMS...or ...New E-mail...or Reminders
(3) When Reminders go off...the light flashes anyways...until you dismiss or snooze... [I thought this was annoying cause I usually associate LEDS with missed e-mail, text, voicemail, not reminders...]
(4) You have some boost alarm options....where you can choose snooze options....this is basically an alarm to tell you have unchecked e-mail, text, voicemail, reminders etc... BUT the SNOOZE options don't actually work...this seams to never stop...just keeps going and going...even after the reminders and all missed calls are answered :x Edit:OK, so apparently...when this alarm goes off on the lock screen...you click on the item on the lock screen, then slide the screen...where the snooze options are revealed! yaay! ...but no dismiss button :X Ok, figured this out. For Boost alarm options you have a time setting for when you want it to work, plus you can check what you want it to work for, mine kept going off because I had it checked to go off as long as there was something on "today & tomorrow's Agenda" haha oops
(5) After a call...the screen locks...even if this feature is turned off on pocketshield...
(6) strange thing...i think is a feature of pocket shield...that we can't control...the phone screen turns off when you hold the phone up to your ear...even if the feature..."protect screen during call" is off....sortof like the iphone proximity sensor...not sure if our phone already did this...but I don't remember it doing this...before....
...if anyone knows that this is a normal feature...and how to turn it off...that would be great...
(7) For some dumb reason...the TouchFlo3D Slide to Unlock Screen is gone again....and it has defaulted back to the old WM Unlock...if I hold End key down....yaay! (sarcasm) ...this happened strangly the other day too...without this program...and I had to hard reset to get it back :x
(8) No clue why...but after a call...the phone decided to vibrate without stopping...until I pulled out the battery....when i turned it back on ...it went back to vibrating...but stopped after it finished booting...no clue why this happened...but it only took place once...wasn't a reoccurring problem
maybe this is all happening because it isn't the full version...idk...I thought it would be full...just minus access to the skins and it would just disable in 10 days...but idk...
This is all on my stock Rom too....which is nuts
Another annoyance...when you hit the power button...it turns of any media player you had running...so you can't turn the screen of and play music at the same time...unless plugged into external power.
I found that I can turn the screen off...and keep the media player running if I push the PocketSheild Lock button...this gives you the option to turn the screen off...or go to the lock screen...which will turn the screen off too and keep the media player running.
Major annoyance...should just be able to hit the power button and have the screen turn off and lock...with the media player still playing...what if I want to save battery by turning my screen off while listening to music...or put the phone in my pocket with headphones...

Yeah, I don't fault S2U2, it's a good program. I hear from a lot of people that use it and like it, but I was having issues. It's funny to show iPhone drones the S2U2 lock screen with the battery showing (the default iPhone screen?), and they say "hey, when did you get an iPhone" swipe it unlocked, and they say you can't have iphone on a windows phone LOL....priceless.

at least people don't mistake your phone with a nokia,
it's driving me crazy
I used TouchLockPro for a long while. Generally, I like it. I locks well and the unlock with light feature is great.
Recently, the unlock with light feature was added to PhoneAlarm. I use and like PhoneAlarm, so I just updated and now have a single program with my alarm profiles and screeen locking plus a slide to unlock. Handy.
Do you know of a widget which will allow to set "silent mode" for just 10 minutes ?
I once had such widget but can't remember its name...
Thanks very much for anyone who can help

Just wondering, wouldnt it be easier to swipe down the Notifications pane and switch to Silent/Ring instead? i dont think there is a widget that does what you are asking.
Phone Silencer might satisfy your requirements. It's not a widget as such, but detects when you enter silent mode, and prompts you to specify how long you want the phone to be silent for. It's handy because you don't have to remember to disable silent after meetings or when you get up in the morning.

The thing is that I tend to forget doing that. I go inside a 90 minute lecture, and when the lecture is over, I sometimes forget to cancel silent mode, and continue with the day without hearing my phones alerts...
There is such a widget, I simply forgot it's name. When I pressed on the widget it showed me a list of times (5/10/20/30... minutes) so I would choose how long I want silent mode to go on.
Thank for the recommendations. Shush! and Phone silencer are good
Btw, does anyone know how to make the status bar toggle between Sound/Vibration/Silent. Currently I can do only Sound/Vibration or Sound/Silent...

Try "Setting Profiles Lite". I use it mainly for time duration profiles especially silent during meetings... Among other things. The full version is too powerful for what I need it to do.
Can be a widget or in the notification bar.
You can create a widget in tasker to do exactly that - I have mine run for 15 mins but you can have it prompt for a value. I use it when I walk away from my desk at work and my phone is charging. When I get back, if I remember I click the widget again to put it back to normal, otherwise it resets itself in 15 mins..
Definitely not worth purchasing tasker for, but on the off chance that you already have it..
beautiful widgets

Lovely app! Looks good and works well. Thanks.
Ever used your XP to replace your alarm clock? Has it been a good substitute? I'm thinking of doing that... I'm wondering if it will work better than the broken one I have now and the cheap one I bought from Walmart...
I use it all the time, it's loud and obnoxious. Just the thing you'll need to wake up in the morning haha. It's easy to set too, and you can have lots of different alarms set, it's a pretty sweet built in clock/alarm.
Yes. Yes. It is very very good as an alarm.
I use alarm clock plus, it's free and more obnoxious than STOCK

I use the Xperia Play as my default alarm clock and I use the ' Xperia ' ringtone for the alarm. Sounds so nice in the morning
I have the dock and it makes the XP the best Alarm Clock ever.
when it wakes me up I never now which button is snoose and which is disable - I wish they were bigger in size and coloured red and green to make it more visible
Combined with the dock, it's my current alarm clock. I use the " rise up" melody, because it's nice enough, and it's been fine so far.
I've used it before as an alarm. It was good. It woke me up anyway.

Yeah, I guess this should all make sense since you can hook it up with a speaker...
Yup use it everyday, I have the XP dock sitting beside my bed, threw out my old alarm clock.

So what if the sound is off (from the power button) to not wake people up because of notification sounds... will it still beep or make noise to wake you up?
I place my phone right next to my head and I wake up to Edith Piaf, Inception baby!
I use the default alarm clock that's in stock, I don't like the standard ringtone, hence why it's easy to wake up every morning

The alarm clock will still go off as loud as possible even with sound off, no need to worry. I keep my phone on vibrate at all times and it has never failed to play the alarm sounds and wake me up.
Always! Stock alarm clock with the Piezo Alarm as the sound with volume all the way up... Very ear piercing! Even if I snooze the alarm for about 40 minutes or until my mum yells at me to actually get up.
please note i have had some issues with the alarm not going off even though i set a test alarm and i didnt use a task killer.

That exact same thing has happened to me maybe once or twice. It would just say that my alarm is set for the next day, like it was skipped or something.
I bought the XperiaPlay dock since it was only cheap for this very purpose.
Sadly, didn't realise I couldn't use it with any kind of case.
So I have been unable to use the dock.
Wow, this is some coincidence. I was just about to post and saw this topic.
Just got my dock. Only problem is, the phone doesn't go into the alarm clock mode as shown in the pictures. I guess it's because of some bloatware i removed. can someone please tell me what app is required for the dock-clock mode?
Also, like some people are using it, I would also be keeping it on a small side-table next to my bed, with both cables unplugged. Since the phone is plugged into the earphone jack on the dock, wouldn't that disable the phone speakers and therefore no alarm sound?
