Default No Alarm...?

Hi all,

I wasn't woken to day to my usual alarm - so I checked and set one up for a few mins time but that again did not play. I changed the alarm tone and tried again - nothing....

Have just soft-reset before trying again - anyone else had problems with the alarm???

So, soft reset and then set an alarm for 2 mins time. Nothing happened. I turned it on 5 mmins later and the alarm starts....???

This is worrying...

I have the following installed:
FInixNOver FInix_VGA_Batttery_and_N...
PHM Registry Editor
Microsoft Remote Desktop Mobile
From X-Files Skype
Axis Communications AXIS camera Ex...

Anyone know of any problems?

Went into the MS alarm settings and made a change - now it all works...

Very odd...

I'd be interested to see if anyone else has seen this or is it just me /-(

Yep, the alarms in WinMo are a bit hit and miss - if I ever need to rely on them, for instance when travelling, I tend to set all three, one minute after the other, and set either a calendar reminder or a task reminder as well, for good measure. Oh and I soft-reset just before going to bed and put the phone into flight mode. That generally works OK.

You're lucky, the flakiness I got with the alarms was on my TP1.

You could use G-Alarm for alarms, is free does the job.

I Switched FizzTraveler (wich i used mainly for alarms ) since it could not unlock my device and woul dplay a silend alarm. ( Nice if you need to wake up)

G-Alarm wakes me up and knows how to unlock my device. It works like a charm.

I've uninstalled the battery notification app : FInixNOver FInix_VGA_Batttery_and_N... as it was the only prog I didn't have on the TD1 - maybe it is conflicting??? Time will tell...

wasnt there some Bug in Galarm?

I should be getting my Topaz very soon and i use my Nokia E90 alarm to wake me up. Its a bit worrying that tte Topaz alarm isnt so reliable

Can the device be turned off so that it turns on automatically to sound the alarm?

It should wake for the alarm as long as the option to NOT do this is unticked. Like I said, never had a problem with the TD1 so hope that this was a one off glitch...
