Impossible to turn off alarm clock!! - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sometimes my alarm clock does not show any popup to turn it off!!!
The only way to turn the alarm of is then to turn of the phone!!
The same thing is with the calendar.
What's strange it looks like the phone is changing its mind according to it's mood and sometimes the popup shows on and sometimes it doesn't.
I've found this thread but on my HTC desire Z there is no such option:
SETTINGS/sounds&notifications/notifications.then in events scroll to reminders then tick the box for display message on screen tab
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Even if it was there, why would the phone behave differently without changing anything in the settings?
So anyone knows what to do?
It really makes me mad when it rings early in the morning and there is no f$#$$popup there.
Please help.

you may have to do a full restore

What do you mean? Would you be more specific?
ps. I've found many people have this problem (for ex. on Polish forum), no one knows what's the cause.

Just use alarm clock plus, it has nap setting if ur still sleepy long press for nap and minutes will pop-up very helpful for last minute haha

How can stop reminder from waking the phone?

I can make the SMS stop waking the phone via advanced config that is stock on my current ROM.
I want to keep my phone from coming out of sleep mode when I get a reminder. When it is in my pocket, I do not want it to wake up untill I take it out and push the button.
Thank you,
Jeff
Ditto. Me too.
anyone found a solution ?
I'm a bit confused about what's being asked... it sounds like you're saying you don't want a reminded to remind you... you just want it to tell you that you missed it when you check your phone two hours after your appointment. Would you also, perhaps, like an alarm clock that doesn't make any noise when the alarm goes off?
it should not wake the device, as in "turn on the display, and react to touch" , so it goes bananas in the pocket.
It should play a sound, and/or vibrate and/or flash light - as configured in notifications.
- just don't activate the display...
in other words; same as with new SMS or Email notification..
Me too.
I have the same issue. I have my phone synched with my work computer (outlook). I would like the reminders to appear on the computer only.

Do you know of a widget which will allow to set "silent mode" for just 10 minutes ?

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

The screen doesn't wake when you get a message only when you get a phone call, there may be an application or someone could make a modification to allow this

From what I have experienced it is seen throughout the Android OS, but as I said a modification could exist or an application on the play store
You can also try using Go SMS, there's an option for msg pop up and direct reply. I used to like it on my Desire Z, but the stock messaging app is just so nice xD
Rocking the Lee on my HTC One X
Use Sms Popup - does exactly what iphone does =] (and can even set a mode to make the message pop up private so that the name/message doesnt appear straight away). Plus you can still use the stock messaging app.
If you only want the screen to light up, Tasker can do this. Tasker in combination with Secure Settings (which you can find here on XDA)

I know this isn,t going to help you but my HOX does this on the standard unrooted 1.28 ROM for some reason. The funny thing is that it also started doing this for my emails a week ago without me changing anything! Also I hate this feature and wanted it to go back to how it should behave as standard but I haven' t been able to turn it off.

I use Sleep as Android and it'll do exactly what you're looking for - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&hl=en
I've got mine set up to just buzz my watch first, then a failsafe that goes off on my watch and phone.
Ooooo looks brilliant!!! Do all the other features like sleep tracking etc drain the battery much then?

It used to drain your battery totally, but dev recently got it working excellent instead.
Now our sw3 is one of the most battery efficient watch
To run the app on, battery "drains" around 17% over night, which is great since it various sensors are being used.
Regarding vibration on the watch in general: I think it's as easy as, if an app generates vibration alerts on your phone, it'll generate these on the watch too.

Ooooo brilliant! Thanks for the info I'll give it a shot over the weekend then when I've had time to mess with all the settings, annoying though as I like using timely and would really just like it to vibrate my watch...

I just got the SW3 yesterday. I'm trying to get my alarms to sync, found this an tried Sleep as Android. However, it seems no matter what settings I use, my watch only buzzes once very briefly for the alarm while it goes off as normal on my phone. As if just a notification that an alarm is going off. Is this just how it works? Any ideas?
I followed the "instruction" chapter on wearables to enable Smartwatch in the app and enabled the vibration (Smartwatch) from start option, but I can't find any other real set up options or instructions.

I made two alarms - One with the phone vibrating / making noise, and the watch vibrating, then one set ~5 min before that, set to silent, and disabled vibration (so the phone does nothing), and set the Vibrate (Smartwatch) to "From start" as well.
When the first alarm goes off, mine buzzes once briefly at the time of the alarm, and then once again maybe 30 seconds later, then it starts getting more frequent after that. When I just went to check what my settings were, I also noticed there's an option to start the watch vibration "before" the alarm - though I'm not sure how much before the alarm "before" is, since it doesn't seem to be configurable, but that may alleviate my use of two alarms.
Hope that helps!
Official Clock app from Google
now u can install on any android and the alarm appear on smartwatch , to dismiss or postpone

Alarm clock issues

Anyone else having issues with their alarm clock on the Fire Phone? In the morning, the alarm will go off (which is a good thing) but I can't turn it off (Which is a bad thing). I've been having to turn the phone off completely to shut it down. Most of the time, the screen will come on giving me the option to swipe to turn it off or snooze, but swiping doesn't work. Some times, the screen does not even give me those options. I downloaded a different alarm app, but am having the same issue.
Ironically I've had this same problem and it was possibly after freezing certain system apps for more memory. The only solution I've found as opposed to rebooting the phone is holding down the home button which triggers voice input and stops the alarm.
Hope this helps.

I almost missed work today! My alarm went off for like 1 second and then shuts itself off. I'm wonder if Next lock screen has anything to do with it. I have to play with it later tonight. This is kind of unacceptable.
I was not able to reproduce the issue again this evening (even though it happened with both my morning alarms) and I seem to have made things worse. Messing around with LockScreen.apk and LockScreenPreviewer.apk, my screen no longer turns on when the alarm sounds. I have to unlock the phone and go into the alarm's notification menu to stop it.
Also, I managed to accidentally delete my backup of /system/priv-app/LockScreen.apk. The one in /system/app/LockScreen.apk doesn't work when I put it in priv-app and update-fire-phone-35.4.6.3_user_463001620.bin doesn't even have a /system/priv-app/LockScreen.apk.
EDIT:
Screw it. I moved over to 4.6.3. Problem solved. I'm back on the standard horrible lockscreen for now. But at least the alarm seems to be working again.
