Hi,
I've began to have a weird problem with my Touch Pro since about a few days ago. The "Next Alarm" on the TouchFlo 3D "home" screen does not update accurately. For example, I have an alarm set now for 6 AM next morning, but the line says "Alarm Off".
I've had an alarm set today for 6AM and another for 7AM. After the 6AM alarm went off, I dismissed it, but the screen kept showing 6AM as the next alarm.
Also, I don't get a pop-up when the alarm comes off. The sound plays, the device vibrates, the bell icon appears in the title bar, but no notification pops up.
I'm using the stock ROM that was on my device (1.90.401.1 WWE, ROM date 08/01/08).
Things I tried that didn't help:
- Soft reset - the problem reappears after a while. TouchFLO 3D sometimes restarts if the device is turned on after a long period of inactivity by sliding the keyboard out. After the restart the alarm line says "Alarm Off" even though I have an alarm for the next day at 6 AM.
- Clearing the notification queue doesn't seem to have any effect at all.
Any ideas? Thanks for any help.
Any ideas anyone? Pleeease! This bug annoys me and I don't want to do a hard reset :-(
i have the same rom and tha same problem
its strange cos i tink at the start i did get a dismiss button, but now i only get the icon and the ring/vibration
i tink htc still need to fix alot of problems
I was just going a search for this same problem.
When I first got my Touch Pro less than 2 weeks ago, I got a dismiss button. Now it's gone and I have to go diving for my stylus on a morning to open up the alarm thing at the top, then wait for the next screen, then choose the alarm, THEN I can dismiss it.
REALLY annoying.
Anyone know what this is?
I actually fixed that one. It seems that something (Advanced Config?) caused my notification settings to be reset. After changing them back in Start->Settings->Sounds & Notifications it all went back to normal. However the next alarm is still not accurate sometimes. Seems like it's only update occasionally and not immediately.

I've tried this a few times, and the alarm still doens't pop to the front.
Last night I turned TouchFlo off alltogether, and it STILL doesn't pop to the front.
So it *MUST* be something in Windows Mobile somewhere.
Does anyone else have any clue?
You know what, I just did some intensive Googling and found this
https://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3951579&SiteID=65
To summarise
Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications
Choose Notifications Tab
Change the dropdown to Reminders (the bit I missed)
Now you can see a checkbox for Display message on screen
Check the box, click OK, close settings.
Fixed
The clock & alarms has been a problem since Windows Mobile saw daylight.
I don't use it anymore as my alarm, I use pTravelAlarm instead.
Works like the alarms on WM should: Dependable, and a BIG snooze button

I have pTravelAlarm installed on my Treo 750 and whenever I set up an alarm (and I usually set up 3 or 4 alarms as I have bad habit of stopping it instead of snoozing), but if I dont wake up and press either stop or snooze, the pocket pc goes "dead".. it just stops responding... it just doesnt wake up no matter what key I press, it doesnt go off for next setup alarm, if ppl call me, it goes to voicemail after ringing, whereas its not actually ringing..... the only solution is a soft-reset and after that a message comes "Notification Error. Could not execute windows/pTAMgr.exe".. or something like that.....What could be the problem for this error??? I use Memaid and keep deleting the duplicates many times...
Any suggestions please??
Try this PocketWakeup alarm. Less nicer looking thatn your current ones, but works flawlessly.. and it has a relatively larger snooze-cancel button ratio.
Hey
I have a problem, whenever i have an appointment my HTC touch sounds an alarm at 6AM, even though i have disabled remind me in the appointments.
I have todayagenda installed.
Plz help.
I've got an Orange M700 which is similar to the HTC Touch. I reckon you should go into Settings from the Today list then go into System and then click Clocks & Alarms and clear the alarm box.

That doesn't always work. On my PPC (Tytn) I've used that Task Manager software that shows you CPU, Processes and stuff. (Task Manager v2.6, FDCSoft).
Goto the "Notifications" menu and delete everything in there.
This is for, I assume, you're alarm is sounding when you've changed the time? If not then do as the first reply you had.
I changed my alarm time from 0300 to 0500 and the sod still sounded at 0300 AND 0500! Grr when I need my sleep
I turn them off by going into: Settings/sounds¬ifications/notifications(tab)/ (drop down) Reminders - uncheck box for "play sound". You can have it vibe, flash the light and or show the message on the screen as well. Hope that is what you are looking for.
If it's any consolation, there is not this kind of setting on my iPhone and it's driving me crazy!
When I have an alarm set up, for example I have a M-F alarm to wake up for work, and the alarm goes off, it never displays any option for "Snooze" or "Disable". In fact, nothing comes on the screen at all. I have it set to repeat if I miss it, so to disable it I end up having to go into the alarms config, and turn off the alarm manually by unchecking it.
There has to be an easier way.... every other phone I've had (including my Blackjack II) has a "snooze" and "disable" option when the alarm goes off.
I know this must be obvious but I can't find it. Please help!
i havent confirmed this, but i saw this info on another forum:

i just did the alarm this morning and saw the same thing. what i did was touch the top screen with all the symbols to bring up the system menu. there was an alarm symbol. i clicked it then the soft keys changed to disable on left and menu on right. tapped menu and the options for snooze came up. clicked snooze for ten min and it went away. ten min later the alarm went off again. hope this helps.
Yup that's it exactly. I do this every weekday morning!
I can only offer that I have the same problem. I have a feeling it is similar to my problems with the phoen application and how it now works.
I feel it is touchflo 3d fault.
Correct me if I am wrong but the overlay of TouchFlo has made my device more troublesome than my 8125 on wm5.

Wow, that totally defeats the purpose of snooze, by the time i figure out how to do all that it when i'm half asleep i'll be wide awake already!
Guess the 3rd party will have to fix this.
This is another example of where basic functionality of a phone has been superseded by glitzy features.
Another thing I noticed is that the alarm will repeat a few times and then just disable itself and never go off again. There is an option buried somewhere for alarms and how many times to repeat but I think it was grayed out for no apparent reason.
I had that problem too. I ended up getting gAlarm and I'm happy with it. There is nice big snooze button as well as a stop button. I think if you turn the phone over, it will snooze too. But I'll have to verify that.
omg..i HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!!
i thought i was the only one that was completely lost on this...
There has to be something were missing...because going thru all those steps is alot of hassle, when ur half asleep
I'm willing to bet a dollar that most of use that rely on the Fuze alarm clock are now getting up roughly 10 minutes earlier...

True That.
I Hate it.
lmao
The built in alarms just don't cut it. If you're going to use it for getting you up so you can go to work it's worth getting a good dedicated alarm.
On my TyTn I liked pTravelAlarm:
http://www.burroak.on.ca/pta.html
On the Fuze I'm testing Klaxon:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/search/label/Klaxon
I think I slightly prefer pTravelAlarm but it's not free; when I fumble with the phone it shakes enough to shut off the alarm when I just want to snooze.
But both have nice big snooze buttons you can jab at when you're half-asleep/hungover.
Thanks guys, i'll check out some of the suggested solutions!
The popup is occurring but it is happening BEHIND TF3D. I highly recommend Klaxon. The program is a little slow and setting the time is annoying as you cant type numbers, you have to press up/down to find your numbers but it goes off and it is a nice big screen.

Willing to test this out it looks really impressive. Galaxy Nexus. I can also test on my Droid RAZR and SGS3 if that's okay?
PM sent.
REALLY impressive, I think this just kicked out all the alarm apps to my favorite right now.
Suggestions:
-Add a "alarm" icon on the notification bar when there is an alarm planned
-On the timer somehow an option to select how long I want the timer to stay on, for example with the wheel, it is quite hard to set the time to EXACTLY 32 seconds (or any other #). I would personally like to be able to click the bottom 00:00:00 and set a exact time.
--When making an alarm, then saving it, the notification label should read the EXACT time from now, example: Right now it says "Alarm will go off in 12 hours" my suggestion "Alarm will go off in 12 hours and 12 minutes"
Bugs:
-The weather at the top bar is in Celsius for me, and I went into settings and changed it to Fahrenheit
GREAT app! I love the user-friendly UI.
Bookmarked, can't wait to check back in on this one! PM if interested in testing on an i9000 CM10
Oh and a big part I left out of the bugs...
the Alarm itself is not working..
I set the alarm for 5 minutes after and it never rang.
I checked multiple times, and did not work.
Anyone else confirm?
device info: check my sig.....
Hi,
Well I just finished up doing a full test on my device. I must say this has to be on the the best beta's I've tested. It pretty
much has everything integrated in this app. Not only just sounds and settings to help you wake up but also fall asleep as well!
Here is what I came up with so far...................
set up new alarm: duplicates itself. I make one single new alarm, it shows two of them
the same name, settings etc in the window pane. I have to go and delete the duplicates
I set up new alarm and set the sound, alarm went off. Dismissed. Tried to change the sound to a different
one, test went ok but when alarm came on, it played the original sound that was first set
fix: restarted phone and it did not do that again.
using the app always sets my alarm system setting volume all the way up no matter what level I had set it previous.
Not sure how to change it ?
couple of screen lockups (graphically) when option: snooze was set to flip phone. phone was
set down normally and it showed up in landscape mode when alarm was going off. went to pick
it up and then slide the bar to dismiss it and then desktop on phone locked up half screen
black then half screen in landscape mode. (assuming reason is bc I had flip phone set on it
even though I don't have a flip phone) not sure if app should already know that its not a flip and come to a standard
setting such slide bar to dismiss alarm.
while setting up alarm, chose radio, went to test using the test button, worked, using the
slide down to end the test, music kept playing and then went to the regular set up menu where
you would set up an alarm and music playing in background and had to back out off the app to fully stop the feed for music.
GPS showed me one state away? but the weather did show up though for what it did pick up.
I also double checked my Google maps, navigation and Telenav and they did show my correct position.
sleep works just fine -the part of app to listen to while falling to sleep and the counter winds down.
nap worked just fine as well
when setting the days the alarm should go off, I selected which ones, hit save. backed out and
preview pane on GUI to the right did not always show the changes.........................
IE: all seven days were selected. Did a test. All went well, second I blacked out all the
days except for this coming Friday, set the alarm for only 4 min ahead of the current time tonight.
Now ( Friday @ 7:17pm) I hit save. It saved, but when I backed out alarm said that it was
going to go off in 5 min. When it should be saying 4days away. I had to back out of the app
all the way and then back in to it for the changes to be finalized.
attempted a second time, panel showed the changes but it did not finalize even after backing out of
app completely. alarm still went off today even though the next day it was set on was this
coming Friday.
I did a couple more tests and sometimes when the changes were made the alarm did show the correct thing. 4 days away etc... But at least the alarm does off on the time you set it to every time
alarm always goes off in Landscape mode ( not sure if that is intentional ? ) probably is.
tried to use the "reaction" for snooze, tried all 3 different setting. (assuming reaction
means shake around ) it did not work, however reaction did fine when it was set for disarm.
Made a new alarm, Icon showed up, the test went fine. Alarm went off. I changed the time to just 5 min later. changes were applied successfully. I rebooted and noticed that the Icon was gone, but alarm was still functional and went off at the desired time even though the icon was missing after a reboot.
side note:
Alarm icon shows up for me till I reboot. Had to go in to the app tap on the alarm that you have set up then back out to main GUI and icon will show back up.
When phone is standing in normal position, (portrait mode) the display will show this when you go to full screen.

If I had to put a spin on it I think it might be better if the whole time was in the same line instead of dividing it up in the two. I can see the reasoning for doing so, ( see it better while its on your night stand) but maybe an option in later releases to have it the other way?
After doing a full test on this and I'm already loving it. I know its beta and was happy to test bc this I find to be better then any other alarm app I've used.
Well that is my spin on how it runs on the EVO 3D so far.
I hope the info helps and if you have any questions / comments or anything else that you would like to me to try, drop me a line and like I said before, I'm more then happy to do so
I'm actually pretty excited about this app and looking forward to the progress that is going to be made
Tomorrow I'll be doing a full test on my back up handset ( Samsung Epic 4G) and will report in when its done.
Thanx again!,
Z.
Edit:
apparently my browser substituted and auto corrected by using the word " portrait" instead of using landscape. I went and corrected the words that they should be. Next time I'll keep an look out for that. I really do hate auto correct at times!
1stly 10/10 for putting this app together alot of nice touches like getting to sleep.
Ok here its my report on using the app for only 10 mins and trying out all the options.
The alarm only shows in landscape not portrait.
When setting alarm it shows 2 when only one selected.
When alarm is set to use radio the default ringtone and vibrate go off even when not selected.
I can not get radio station to save as default to play as alarm.
The notification icon shows but there is no text to show next alarm is set.
The volume of alarm is affected by system volumes, if system vol is silent, alarm vol don't work but vibrates even if not selected.
Might be better if you could have alarm vol independent off system, if already in place must have missed it in settings.
I had a couple out random shut outs of app when trying to use the sleep function.
Timer function worked well without any issues.
When using music as tone only,it only vibrate.
Screen not wake up when alarm goes off just hear it vibrate.
Using default alarm tones again only vibrate no tone heard.
When using the test function the last option is played eg if set to play radio when alarm goes press test key the app takes you to home screen but just vibrates, if you go back and change the tone to music, pressing test will take you to home screen but this time hear radio for 2-5secs then cuts out, comes back again but it's very choppy.
Listening to radio via app when not set works well.
The same happens with all settings of music.
Starting to get unexplained closes and stopping.
Will give further feed back once tried it out for longer.

Second Beta Release - Beta Test on EVO 3D CDMA
Device info: Check Sig....
add new alarm - duplicate problem solved
GPS still showing the wrong area for me at least ( not sure if anyone else having same issue)
When setting up an alarm, as you pick your time that is all well and good,
But as you pick your sound and hit back to go to the rest of the settings to
save / test and other options..it auto saves it and goes back to main GUI saying
alarm will trigger in ...... minutes.
Basically as soon as you choose the sound of your liking, it backs up to the main GUI and
saves the settings and engages the alarm.
When choosing option "speak time" as the alarm, it does not say anything.
After choosing your sound to wake up to and then going back in to the settings to set
up the rest, when your satisfied and choose "test" screen pops up. I used the slide bar
to end the test. Sound kept playing.
Using the sound settings, I chose music. The usual preview did not play as you scroll
through the stations.
Did a timer test. Chose a specific sound. Settings were set for reaction to snooze, and slide to
disarm. Reaction did not work. ( shook it around). I slide to disarm. I had a graphical error, screen froze up, sound kept playing and took about 20 seconds of hitting my home button to get back to my main screen.
Second test w/ timer, it hit 0 and did not go off, then did a 3rd, sound kept playing. The slide to dismiss and reaction did not work as well. Took about 25 sec for it to f/c and get me back to my home screen.
When adjusting the days, pop up shows the correct setting. “ alarm will trigger in 3 days etc..” but the smaller window pane does not change.
IE: MTW are in blue, you black out MT then choose save. Pop up says 2 days will trigger etc, back out to the main GUI and the smaller alarm window will still show MTW in blue. I found out that the only time the smaller alarm window will show the black out dates right away is only if you test the alarm. Then it will show correctly in the smaller alarm window right away. I've done this several times and every other time I used slide to dismiss, it stuck on a black screen for about 10 sec or so and did not dismiss right away.
Testing out the sleep function. Chose music and first run out, could not find stream. Second run on music setting, timer running but no sound then f/c.
Also tested it out using sound, seemed to be just fine. Started and stopped as it should. In some of the sounds though you can hear the “tisk” or the hiccup when it loops though. I know extremely minor but just being thorough.
Alarm test w/ music
settings : Button for snooze, slider for dismiss. Did more multiple test w/ music. I had the option to disarm w/ slide. Once running, slide down then pop up says alarm will trigger …... and then was stuck on a black screen. I had to hit the home button to get my screen back to the norm.
Not sure if the app is supposed to do this, but if you do set your system volume alarm level say at 50 % after you test the alarm , It will auto adjust your system setting to 100% but if the alarm officially goes off and you dismiss it, it seems to stay about half the time, the other half it will re adjust.
Set alarm, Icon shows in status bar, backed all the way out, checked a couple of text / email etc. I rebooted,
alarm icon is not showing but alarm did go off at its designated time set though. Slide to dismiss and it went right to the home screen as it should and then icon re appeared in the corner as the alarm was set to all 7 days at that same time.
Still only executes alarm in landscape mode.
Option to slide over clock to change brightness: slide over the clock and it did get brighter but it did not get dimmer swiping from right to left or doing the left to right over again.
Reaction was not working for me at all , I also had that on setting "easiest" Just to confirm, "reaction" does it mean to pick up or shake it or ?
For the last test, I did set the alarm for 10:55 it saved or well auto saved after choosing my sound in the settings, I backed out of the app completely. I went back in to the app and turned the alarm Off. The icon went away. The alarm still went off at 10:55 even though in the app it says Off.
I was glad to see some of the progress on this app so soon keep it up and looking forward to the next release. If I can find the time today I will test out the second on my back up epic 4G and report on that as well. Probably would've have had it done already but wanted to test out the second release on the same handset first.

Still can't get radio to work with alarm.
Vibrate still coming on even if selected not to.
Ringers not changing always plays 1st tone even when different tone selected.
Screen not coming on.
When dismissing alarm the tone/vibrate still constantly playing.

fixed : when choosing sound, when it does preview and hitting the back button does
not auto save the alarm.
fixed: when testing sound alarm, does not keep going after closing. ( slide to close as option)
fixed: let alarm set as programmed to, volume was set at 75% for the system, the alarm did go off
and it went off at the specified volume that was set for the system.
Snooze set to reaction ( shook the hell outta hit ) didn't work. On the easiest setting level
Went and set alarm, it did go off, but then re adjusted the days, so it wouldn't go off
for another 2 days, the small window on the main GUI didn't update ( or show the blacked off days)
pop up said it was correct when hitting save , but still show blue for all the days. It did
show up when backing out of the app and going back in that the correct days were shown.
Timer function : tested on the sound setting ... works perfectly .. used slide to dismiss...
Sleep funtion. : tested on the sound setting..... works perfectly
test 3 - used alarm and setting on music. music preview played perfect and went off w/ out a hitch
the test is working correctly for my device now. When I choose to slide to dismiss it has no lag
anymore and doesn't hack up the screen.
Fixed : doesn't re adjust my system volume anymore for alarm. But this will still go off
at full blast. any possible attempt at a volume setting on the app?
. LOL we probably need it it full blast in order to wake up... we need to wake up .
Alarm went off, ( set to music, picked dubstep ) and it went off w/ out a hitch . Just loving the hell
outta this thing now!
I would wonder though, is there anyway to in corporate a volume setting w/in the app itself so that
way we can adjust? But loving this already.
I also wanted to know is it possible to have a mock spread sheet for things to test for? it would
be easier that way as I just wing it every time but I try to be thourough when I do testing as
I appreciate all the hard work that has gone in to this and want to make it better
When setting alarm . Using the option " speak time" still does not work or function.
I did let it go off, and yet no voice. If it all possible, if and when it does become availble please
include mutiple voices if you get a chance... thanx...

awesome feedback
Hey guys,
This is awesome feedback, especially zsibisi and zolaisugly am working hard on fixing all these bugs, will have another beta out tonight!
Cheers,
Mark.
Since the JB update, the standard clock's alarm has stopped working properly. Prior to JB if an alarm was set and the tab was closed/charging the alarm would go off continuously and the tab would vibrate, I would unlock with my PIN and there would be a dialog up to either hit "dismiss" or "snooze".
Since JB, if the tab is locked (open or closed) it just beeps once very briefly (sounds like it is being "caught" and cut short), does not vibrate at all, and when I unlock and open it, there is a little notification on the notifications menu with the alarm info. If I click on that, it opens a dialog that says "dismiss" or "snooze". If the screen is not locked, it behaves exactly like it did above with no notification.
Anyone else see this or who could try reproducing it? I have not messed with any settings, when I look at them everything is like I would expect. I have never seen an alarm sent to the notification tray rather than sounding and this behavior strikes me as a bug.
Anyone have an alternate alarm clock they use with TF and JB?
You are not alone. I've deleted the clock cache, done a hard reboot and still the alarm only gives a brief "chirp" and is heard no more.
I had come to rely on the alarm in my travels as it has worked without fail whether on or in sleep mode- until the jelly bean update.

Thanks for the confirmation of the issue. At least I know someone else is seeing this and it is not some crazy setup issue. I am disappointed too. I've been using this in lieu of a real alarm clock while in a temporary living situation, so it's something I want to find a solution for...
Tested same thing, I dont use the feature but it is broke how you described it.

It's not a bug since it's working fine on by tablet. My clock version is 2.03 and default ringtone is celsium. Did you tried to wipe DATA and CACHE, then reboot? Did you freeze any system app? Could you try the same ringtone as mine?
It is a bug or an intended feature to save power. It only beeps correctly if the clock is on the screen, either bright or dim. If the screen is off as in sleep mode, then it beeps once only then stops.
My wife certainly noticed yesterday morning! Good thing that i had an alarm set also!

Also confirmed the issue
I have the same exact problem
The day after the update I set it to wake me up the next morning and it didnt work either so now I leave it plugged in and the screen open in the dock and it works. I dont know what I did the first night but I almost didnt wake up. I also noticed if you put the volume all the way down to vibrate the alarm doesnt go off aswell but ICS work fine. All other sounds on silent but alarm still sounded off on ICS.

Me too. So, anyone let Asus know about this bug yet?
haha just found out this morning too. i had set the infinity alarm as my backup alarm because i just flashed a new rom on my phone. good thing the phone alarm still works. that could have been nasty
ya found this out the hard way this morning, when I was 45 minutes late for work.
is it due to the tablet going to sleep? I know in ICS i had the power settings set to never sleep if plugged in. cant find the equivalent 'if plugged in' settings. so for now I will test it if i set it just never sleep ever.
Here's a fix until Asus sort it out - keep the clock app open when you shut the tablet off. I think it's something to do with the alarm's Snooze/Dismiss notification. I'd keep a backup alarm set even using the fix,though - at least for a little bit.
I don't even have a TF700, but my fellow editor over at Pocketables does and wrote about this issue. I threw together a Tasker project that sort of fixes this, at least makes the alarm make some noise again. Exported it as a standalone app and he tells me it works. Details and download here if anyone would like to try it out: http://www.pocketables.com/2012/10/transformer-pad-infinity-temporary-alarm-fix-app-download.html
Details about what it does and disclaimer is in that post as well.
I have the same issue. Anyone here try working around this bug via another market alarm app? I'm at work at the moment so can't try -_-
Same problem here. I've stopped using it until this problem is resolved.

Feel free to try the fix I stated in the comment above, it does work.
I'm using Alarm Clock Extreme Free until this gets sorted out.
I tried flashing DeskClock.apk from several diff JB roms (stock/AOKP/CM10) but it keeps giving force close :\
