Occasionally my phone won't sound the alarm or vibrate (I set this in the hope that the phone will vibrate!!).
When I finally wake up (late for work!!) the screen is showing that the alarm is still 'operating' (offering me dismiss and snooze options) but not a peep.
My wife's phone does the same thing. I'm on Orange and she's on Vodafone.
I haven't got angry birds, I has ES Track Manager but uninstalled that, but that had no effect.
Anyone had similar experiences? Or know how to fix this? Its more frustrating that it is occasional rather than all the time. It would be easier to diagnose!
I've read some posts about phone getting a bit warm, but mine doesn't seem to.
Cheers,
Mike.

That is my alarm and never have had a problem.
HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio
You can try going to settings-sounds-volume and manually set the alarm volume.
A long shot: turn off phone remove the battery and turn on.
Or download an app from the market. I suggest Alarm Clock Plus. (Free)

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 searched the Raphael forums for this and did not find an answer so here is the problem.
My HTC FUZE is running the stock rom with TF3D and my alarm did not go off this morning. I had a calender event scheduled with a 15 min reminder for 8 am and an alarm set for 9 am. The calender event went off as planned but with such a quiet noise it didn't wake me up, and I did not dismiss it obviously. So then the alarm notification also did not go off because there was already one notification that was not dismissed yet. When I check the title bar and click the alarm icon that is there, is brings up both of the two notifications at the bottom of the screen and I can dismiss them. If there is no calender event to dismiss it works fine. I still have to click on the title bar to get it to pop up at the bottom at all though. So I am hesitant to make any calender events with alarms at all for fear that my alarm clock won't work!!!!
Please provide any insight into this that you can!!! Thanks in advance...
Without any calander events and an alarm set for 6:15AM, it has failed to go off every day since I've had the phone. I just installed pTravelAlarm, the same one I used on my Tilt, and it's been working fine.
Not a Fuze issue - rather, a Window's Mobile problem - well documented -
I installed g-alarm and it warned that my device (Fuze) may suffer from a notification bug and that it had to reboot to fix it (guessing registry fix). So apparently someone's aware of the alarm bug/issue.
Haven't had any issues since though (with gAlarm)
I too have the alarm bug on my Fuze running latest ROMeOS. Going to give gAlarm a try like others have suggested.

Guess that is what I will try also. It definitely sounds like a WM bug...
I also have an alarm problem, although lights go off, the alarm doesn't ring. I also have problems with ringing on incoming calls. The speaker otherwise works fine. I have Natfv4.0 installed. Do any of the roms fix this problem?
my
TP's alarm works but the notification dosent pop up to give me the option to dismiss it? how do i fix that?
Is there a registry fix for this?
I don't get pop-up windows any more - I think since i turned off threaded SMS.
Wasn't that an initial problem with the Fuze? I remember having that issue. Just flash to a newer build OS and you'll be fine.
Work phone, not an option.
Surely there's a registry doodad I can change?
It's a Windows Mobile problem as noted, something about duplicated notifications. One suggestion was to download sktools, and use that to clear up your notification que. It is a registry thing I believe, but it's rather a pain in the butt to find where the notifications are and what to delete. SKtools Lite I think can do it, I know it can scan the notification queue and clear it up, but I've never had the problem so far. Would think that Microsoft would have at least made sure the alarm function of a business phone works.
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.

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.
like in the title, i have a problem with the alarm...
windows alarm don't start when the phone is off.. for this i have installed klaxon and i have integrated it with the home page of the phone, but the problem is remained...
How can i do in order to resolve this?
Thanks to all!
I have the same problem
No external applications is working well.
i need it too thanks
Hi guys,

I've used pTravelAlarm for many years (Since my old XDA Orbit) - It's not free (not expensive £10-£15 I think).
This WILL wake up you phone when in standby. (Which is what I take you to mean by off?)
Obviously if you phone is completely off then I don't think anything will work.
No, thats not the problem! i never shut down my phone!
The phone is one and fine, but in the morning when its time to play the alarm sound, It either Frezes! and u have to do a soft reset!
Or it Frezes and Dies (the Screen is Totaly shut) and still you have to make a soft reset to get the phone stated again.
I wanna fix the orginal alarm since i dont wanna instal many apps + i dont use the alarm funktion more than once a day.
All my old mobile phones switched on at the alarm. I dont want to sleep with my HD2 on near me. So i switch it off... why is this so hard for the alarm to work?
Yeah the alarm sure give us a hell of a problem, it will only be on for a few seconds and its off again, the first day i shutdown my phone and i didnt know that the alarm didnt work if u shut off the phone, and luckly i have my n73 to wake me up... does anyone have any good solution for this...
thank you...
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!
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda premium
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.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app
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 :\
