Hi, this morning the WM alarm clock of my tytn ii failed to raise at the correct time, but finally the alarm did go off about 58 minutes later (the device was left untouched in sleep mode until that). The notification still showed the correct alarm time in the message, and the acutal time (wrong) time in header and top bar.
Never heard of this problem before, any suggestions??? Please help me to identify the problem with this "ready for business"-device (lol).
I think i remember reading something similar to this on another thread. where the problem was something to do with time sync (by activesync or network). Perhaps somebody who has had this problem can help?
Try disabling the HTC Home plugin and the Task Manager. That seems to help fix it.
I do not know if this is connected or not, but -
I have a (perhaps) similar problem with the alarm.
My alarm is set to 07:30 every morning.
A while ago, I travelled to france and adjusted the time zone by one hour. I have since returned home, but since, the alarm rings at 06:30 every morning.
The setting is still 07:30.
There is no alarm set for 06:30.
The system **** shows the correct time and the time zone is also correct.
Is it possible that 'old' and incorrect entries are stored in the registry, and trigger the alarm wrongly?

I have some problem and use another alarm proogram.
Try to use some another program like SPB Time or another.

exact same problem here (i did visit germany not france though )
does anyone have a solution without disabling things like the home plugin?
(it's not the auto change timezone/clock from sim setting as i have that before this prob occured and its still off...)
Try cleanining the notification Que using sktools or some similar program, this alarm problem is a well known bug in WM devices and has been for a long time
You may want to check your time zone is correct. Also check that the time IS NOT being updated from the network, if your cell provider has an incorrect time zone this could cause the problem.
I have been having the same problem. I can set an alarm for 8:00AM, but it will ALWAYS go off at 7:00AM. If I set it for 8:01AM, it will go off at the right time. I have no idea why it's happening and can't seem to find a solution...
Alarm Problem
I have the same problem. My alarm goes off at 5:20 a.m. every morning. I updated the TILT rom with the new updated AT&T rom. I set the alarm once for 5:20 am. After that it has gone off at that time every morning regardless of what I do to the alarm clock settings . Anyone know how to fix this problem????

I agrree - clean Notification Que....., BUT cleaning every week, monts ... so boring.....
stop using buged WM clock to alarm - well, how I said, use some another clock program like SPB Time or similar.
I've always had alarm clock issues with every wm device I've ever used. Either going off at the wrong time or not at all. I downloaded 3rd party gentimer and just transfer it to each new device as I get them. I know I shouldn't have to do this and MS should have a better more reliable alarm system, but for a one time charge of 12 bucks I have peace of mind and no. more dickin' with the damn oem alarm. It's worth it IMHO.

SKTools did not work. My alarm still goes off at 5:20am. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this turn off?

What has worked for me in the past is to delete all existing timers, do a soft reset, then re-create them. In your case, I'd be tempted to change the timer, then delete it, then reset and re-enable.

What do you mean delete the existing timers? Where do I delete them?
I use my old Nokia N70 just because it's so pathetic that HTC or MS (don't know whose fault it is) can't fix a proper alarm.

Perhaps I confused you by calling the alarms 'timers'. Here's how to delete them:
Start, Settings, Clock & Alarms, Alarms tab.
To delete a previously set alarm, uncheck the checkbox, and de-select days of the week. Click Ok. Do a soft reset.
In my experiance, this will remove duplicate alarms as well.
I've tried that with the exception of removing all of the checked days of the week. I will try that and see what happens. Thanks.
OK, I just discovered this...
The text under the big clock in Home tab of TF3D always says 'Alarm off'!!
I have been messing around with the manila files and testing stuff so I thought it was me that had done it...
So I did a hard reset... and it's still says 'alarm off' even if I set the alarm..!
Anyone else got this?
hey
I wondered about this for a while - for instance today (friday) mine says alarm off but i have one set for every weekday - sunday night the alarm off will change to alarm on - i think it has a 12 hour refresh.
Yeh, Mine only says alarm is on if it is sceduled to go off the next day.
Ok I figured it out ...
It will only show the alarm time if there is an alarm within 24 hours...
Stupid! WTF! I did a hard reset for nothing..Arghh
can someone help me with this please?
for some reason, my Tilt alarms at 8:10 and 8:15pm every night
the alarms are not set for this time. I first noticed this when I changed the time to daylights saving
has anyone else had weird thing like this?
or is there something I am missing here? and how can i fix it?
thanks so much in advance!
I got the same problem PLUS i have two extra alarms that go off at 6pm and 630pm even though I dont have my alarms set at that time!
I'm glad I'm not the only one!!! I thought I was going crazy. The only added info I can give is that I set an alarm last Saturday night for Sunday morning - DST change weekend. I set it for 7am - thinking the clock would change time overnight (it did) and alarm me at 7am NEW time.
I got an alarm at 6am (new time) and again at 7 (the one that was actually set). All week since, it's been going off every morning at 6am. I've disabled ALL alarms, and it still goes off. I've tried changing the time to 5:59am, and letting it tick through 6am - it will not go off then.
If anyone has any answers, I'd be much obliged to hear them - before tomorrow at 6am

Sounds like there are extra notifications in the notifications queue. I had a similar problem on my 8125 once. Get Memmaid (the trial should work just fine) and do a memory cleaning and go into the notifications queue and delete all duplicates. If that does not solve it, look in the queue and look for an alarm at 6am and delete it. That should take care of it I think. Good luck.
interesting program thanks for the tip! I did a memory cleaning and then went into the notification queue. I couldn't find a 6am (or anything that resembled that) entry, but I did select "time based", "classic time based" and "event based" and asked it to "rebuild notification queue" - I'll let you know sometime after 6am tomorrow if it worked. Thanks again!
Windows Alarm
I gave up on Windows Alarm a long time ago. I now use G-Alarm. Its a very good program and its free. If your having issues with your alarm use G-Alarm.

That'd be fine if I could get rid of the CURRENT alarms
Clearing the Clocks
Try SKTools. It can clear the alarm cache. Also G-Alarm fixes the Windows Alarm bug. and in the options can override the windows alarm system. Give it a shot.
Have you checked to see if there are any appointments saved that reoccur on your pc that transferred when you sync ? I know that if you set a scheduled appointment, you will also get an alarm as a reminder.
I personally use Chronos for an alarm, but this (and a few other posts ;-) ) are off topic what the OP is asking.
It *has* to be in the notifications, so look through them carefully.
as far as i can tell
there are only 3 spots for alarms...and there are no other notifications or reminders for anything else, especially not for the same time every freaking day at that same time
its killing me slowly inside...

I downloaded Memmaid. I did the memory cleaning like you suggested and that fixed it. I'm no longer awakened at 6am. THANK YOU! I looked in the notification queue but couldn't find duplicates of anything... but the cleaning bit seems to have fixed it. Thanks again!
So I have been using my phones as an alarm clock for many many years now. I do it the same way every night. I go into the alarms and change the time and press save. BUT with my 2.2 update, instead of saving for the next day, it saves the alarm as that time but a week away. Its like the day counter doesn't move. I almost missed class this morning because I forgot to move the day I needed the alarm for so I woke up to no alarm 10 minutes before class and seeing my alarm set for next Tuesday.
Anyway...am I missing something?? Or is this a but that others have noticed. It is hard to remember to set the day when I have never had to do this before.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Same with me, seems the clock got messed up with 2.2. The day doesn't change when I choose the alarm. Also, it's happened before where I have the right day (it says alarm will go off in 8hrs etc.) but when I wake up the alarm is still set, but now for 7 days from now... It is very annoying, and I can't rely on it now.
So when you created the alarm, did you set the alarm repeat to be daily? Just a thought otherwise the default is a one-time event and when you resave it will bump a week.
i dont want it as a daily alarm...if i go in and set the alarm time, and press save, it should update the day also. It has been that way for years of setting alarms on many different phones, and now that i updated to 2.2 it doesn't update the day. Why would i want to set an alarm for a week away? haha
You don't make it active on the days you don't want it. A one-time event sees that the time is past and makes it a week later. Don't ask me, complain to the coder. lol

a one time alarm on 2.1 worked perfect and exactly as expected. I shouldn't have to make a new one-time alarm OR change the day OR set it as a daily. I wake up at different times almost everyday. No offense, but i don't need instructions on how to set up my alarm!
i know how it works and how it should work, i'm asking if anyone else is having the problem.
I dont have this problem.
I do have a related problem. Its called a job. And I use my phone as my alarm to wake up every weekday morning at the same time. my alarm works great. Since I do not use it for a one-time alarm, it must have something to do with that.

cool man
Here's a description of the change:
On 2.1, clicking on a past "one time alarm" would change the day automatically to the following day, so the alarm worked for the morning you activated it on.
On 2.2, clicking on a past "one time alarm" won't change the day automatically to the following day, so the alarms' day must be set manually for the next morning.
Anyways, does someone have the 2.1 clock apk that they can upload here that we could try, and see if that's the problem?
This does not seem to be an across the board issue. Im one that does not have the issue.

I flashed back to JH7 today. Posted for your amusement!
Ehh, the 2.1 Clock doesn't work with 2.2 from just replacing it, oh well... Maybe they'll fix it with the final build.

Figured as much, system apps have to be different. Worth a try!
Received the P4XL yesterday and set it up. Put up an alarm in the morning but the phone crashed in the night and no alarm ring in the morning.
the phone Was half alive, App drawer worked but wasnt able to start any apps (only Black or blank screen). After reboot all the missed alarms showed up.
Anyone else noticed something like this?
I've had this happen with my Pixel 3 and other phones.
It doesn't even have to be a crash, it can be as simple as a reboot. It seems that Android's alarm scheduling doesn't kick in until the phone is first unlocked after a restart, so if anything causes your phone to restart overnight, no alarm. I've been late for work more than once because of this.
Samsung phones in particular let you schedule a weekly automatic restart for maintenance purposes; on all my Samsungs I have to make sure to schedule it for a night where I never need to have an alarm go off the next morning.
I have also had bugs with Do Not Disturb blocking alarms even though I set it not to. It's rare, but it happens.
I have been using phones as my alarm clock for years, but it's always a bit of a gamble. So many things can go wrong.
