i just bought TP2 last saturday. This monday morning I did not wake for work because I was screwed by TP2 alarm clock. I did not know that the TP2 alarm does not work when i switch off the phone. Could you any suggest a way to fix it? Thanks!
it will never work with the phone switched off. but you can use this alarm clock if the stock one is giving you problems. this works much better.

I have used a program called G-Alarm on windows mobile ever since I have had it, as the built in alarms are CRAP. G-Alarm is 100% reliable and even lets you do quirky things like playing mp3's to wake you and not letting the alarm be tuned off until you have completed a maths question or a maze (to make sure you are awake!)

G-Alarm is very good, but the latest version isn't free anymore. Maybe someone can upload v.1.5.1 which I think is the last free built. I can't do it right now because I am in the office.
i have that installed but yet to try it out! i have noticed in wm alarms you can set 3 however there is only 2 ava'ble there is already one in there named to dont touch this ( is that something g-alarm has added)
my g - alarm is v2.1.2 - registered
wm alarms are set but nothing happens the 2nd shot shows this dummy alarm that appeared did g- alarm put it there?
this is the g-alarm i have installed

Yeah, G-Alarm puts this one Alarm with "Don't touch" there so that TF3D can show the next alarm in the home tab. Just leave this Alarm as it is -you can set as many Alarms as you want in G-Alarm. No need to ever touch the Windows-Alarms again
sweet! thought so! i used to run fizz alarms but this is top notch got 20mp3s on my mem card all added in the software blends them in and out nicely and the talking clock is sweet it blends the talking clock in perfect to your tunes this is gr8!!!!
I also think the alarms on WM devices are quite rubbish. One time I got to the office 1 hour late and I didnt even know it until I arrived and saw the look on my colleagues face who was waiting to go home. The alarm woke me up and I picked up my phone and dismissed like I had been doing for years. I followed my usual routine but only difference is that I got to work almost exactly one hour late. The only explanation for this is that the alrm must have woken me up 1 hour later. How this happened I just dont know.
Now I have the touch pro 2, I use the alarm on that but I have still left the alarm on my TyTN II on a back up.
are you sure you set alarm in the right way???
pro2 alarm setting isnt in the normal way, you should go to:
setting(touchflo 3d)---sounds---advanced---notification---in Event section,find Reminder
this is the alarm sound

Bull****. From the home tab, tap the clock, touch the 2nd tab. This is the alarms tab.
Also, I use the alarm Monday through Friday all week. It works perfect. So, I think you guys are failing at using it. I have used it like this for a year or more with 2 different phones. The HTC Hermes and now my HTC Rhodium/TP2.
Apparently it switches off every night with touchflo. I don't want to have to buy g-alarm to have to use what would seem like a simple function on a phone. Even if the alarm does manage to go off, it runs the risk of being too short. Should I just use my razr as an alarm again? this is ridiculous.

I use mine for an alarm every morning. Plugged in or not it still wakes me up.
Paying for G-Alarm? I must have an older version that was free. It works great.
I use it for 3 alarms.. Work, Class on saturday and Raid (WoW =)
All with TF3D 2.1 (EnergyROM).. no issues.
maybe i just had a bad rom. I just changed to energyrom. I'll see if I wake up on time tomorrow.
You can also try klaxon, i use it for waking up. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412669

klaxon has been my preferred since touch pro. you do have to open it now and again as sometimes it forgets- but once you have opened and shut it again its reliable (i assume its restarting the phone thats the culprit)
I had an X1 and never had a problem with the stock WM alarm.
Even with new energy rom TP2 alarm is a joke.
Say I set 3 alarms at 9.00am, 9.15am and 9.30am. After the 9.15 alarm I get up and turn the 9.30 alarm off. The main screen now shows no alarm or 9.00am for the next morning (depending on day).
At 9.30am the bloody alarm I just turned off will go off anyway!
Sometime if I say decide to have a nap and set an alarm for in 1 hour. Again it will not go off.
It seems to me that when you change the alarm it takes a while for the change to filter through. Similar thing happens when setting appointments. They don't always show up on the today screen for a while.
Anyone know of a fix for this or am I going to have to try a 3rd party ap? Is it something to do with the touchflo interface and would be solved by going for stock WM interface?
I have never had very good luck with the stock oem alarms on any htc device.(not used sony) I just get a 3rd party. I've had the spb alarm for years and transfer it over to any new device I get. Spb stuff just plain rocks and is very stable. Never had any issues with anything of theirs. That would be my advice. BAM! Done.
Cannot reproduce on my Sprint TP2.
The phantom alarm going off is something I can confirm on my T-Mobile TP2 with NRG ROM. Drives me nuts.
You guys should try to reproduce it with TFLO3D off - edit it straight it WM clock settings panel and see if it really is a "lag time" from TFLO3d to update WM or if it's just WM itself.
Using AT&T Tilt 2 and latest release of Pocket Informant 9.11.
I had a task set to alarm on a certain date and time. The phone was turned off at the time the alarm was supposed to display/sound. When I turned the phone ON about 20 minutes past the alarm time I did not get any kind of notification. It seems that I only get the alarm notifications if the phone is turned on at the time the alarm is supposed to fire. My old HTC Sprint Touch did not have a problem with this.
Is this a known bug in WM 6.5?
Thanks!

yep there is a bug in windows mobile that makes it do this...try a another program possibly...i know every time when i install g-alarm...it tells me that I have the WM alarm bug and that I have to restart after installation. NOTE:g-alarm is not free-it used to be...but getting by with the latest free version should suffice..

Random question, but for those with a Verizon tablet who have updated to 4.4, does your alarm clock work? I was late to work today when my alarm didn't ring. I tested it tonight thinking a restart would help, but every time it just goes to snooze immediately. Anyone finding this issue?
P.S. Title should be Gpad. Darn autocorrect.
Im having the same problem. I just got the tablet, and it worked for about a day. Now the alarm just snoozes itself immediately.

Weird. My fix for now has just been to install a 3rd party alarm app, but it's very frustrating. If you're having this issue, are you having any issues with YouTube or Netflix? When I try to watch videos, I sometimes get grey distortion in my images. You would know what I mean if you're having the same problem.
