Alarm Madness

[Quilliam]

Before my 8525 I used to rely on my phone’s alarms to wake me up in the morning when traveling.

Now I have a problem.

1. the Default Alarm program does not work. No idea why, but I read you need a soft reset program to make them work. So I bought SkSchema. Now my phone resets ten mins before my Alarm is supposed to go off. For some reason the soft reset kills the alarms…

2. So Alarms still don’t work, but I want to run a test, so I turn on my alarm for 2 mins after setting it. 2 mins later it turns on, now problem 2. I can’t turn it off. It keeps going off for over twenty mins before I figure out how to trick it into turning off (soft reset alone did not work) I had to set a new alarm then soft reset, somehow it turned it off.

3. I am relentless. So I decide to try using SkSchema’s reminder setting as an alarm. It survives the reset test. Then it goes off. Well I hit cancel on the notification and the alarm is still going off as I write this. Luckily I only had ten repeats setup… but the odd thing is the repeats are 5 mins apart. I am praying it will stop on the tenth repeat. Or I might be doomed to a hard reset.


So now a question…

Is there any reliable way to have an alarm on the 8525? I’ll go buy another program if I must just point me in the right direction.

And, Anyone know why I can’t turn off the alarms when they do work?


Thanks in advance, this is driving me crazy.

I have also had alarm issues with my dopod 838. For some reason i would turn on the alarm for every single day at 8:30, it didnt work that morning Monday and worked the rest. Its happend like 3 times so far.

I just now use an after party alarm app, solved the problem.
