Nokia Lumia 720 Alarm clock not working

My alarm clock is set and activated but it does not go off in the morning. On all my previose Nokia phones this has never been a problem. i turn my pnone off at night.
My previouse Nokia phone was the E7, a great phone. On the keypad you had the option to go up, down left or right to correct any mistakes written etc, on the Lumia720 this feature is absent.
I can not get the email to leave a copy of my mail on the server once retrieved on the phone, POP mail. i need to be able to retrive this on my PC at a later stage, not a problem on the E7.
last but an issue, i can not send a MMS out or an attachment even though i have a 3G signal, if I leave mobile data on then the phone connects to all sort of stuff and runs up the usage, not an issue with the E7

Ok so I will get over the alarm clock issue by carrying a second phone which I normally do as I travel foreign a lot and get a local sim card for the country travelling in. I have been in the habit of turning my phones off at night except when abroad where my home phone is on in case of an emergency at home, I do not appreciate being disturber after work hours by clients. The battery life is a lot longer when the phone is switched off at night even if the phone is in a sleep mode.
I gather I will just have to come to grips with the lack of being able to place the curser wherever I wanted but the feature on a keyboard is good and will be missed.
Now for the issue of my mail being removed from my server when accessing it with my phone, there does not seem to be a feature when setting up a POP3 email account, where you can retrieve Headers only or Msgs and attachments. I need my mail to go to my office PC besides being able read them when on the move. On the older version in the Sync content section when setting up a new account you had the choice.
The mail issue is a problem though.

  • Lumia 920 alarm clock not working properly

    The alarm clock on my Lumia 920 does not work properly. It randomly fails to sound the alarm. When the alarm should sound it just disables itself without making any indication that something has happened. Usually this happens when re-enabling existing alarms. This week I tested to always create a new alarm and it has already failed multiple times. Rebooting the phone seems to solve the problem temporarily but it always comes back.
    I have not hard reseted my phone as I was hoping that the Amber update would contain a fix, but unfortunately the problem still exists with the update installed . I don't turn my phone off for the night and the problem is not with the volume being muted etc.
    I bought my phone in December 2012 from the operator TeliaSonera (Finland).
    This bug is really annoying as I have to carry a secondary device just for the alarm.

    Ive found this problem with the 920/925 myself i usually stick it in flight mode at night now and leave it upside down so as to get full effect from the speaker,on the 925 that is.
    I Hard reset it and its been fine since.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • Alarm Clock Not working from 12:00AM 01/01/2011 ?

    Has anyone experienced their alarm clock not working today ? I set an alarm this morning and it never went off.

    Wow, do you literally sign up and post without even looking. Just scroll down list as this has many threads already started.
    I do apologize for coming off rude, but does show zero effort on your part.

  • Alarm clock not working - 2700 Classic

    When I set the alarm clock on my new 2700 classic, it does not sound or vibrate in the morning, and the alarm bell symbol indicating that the alarm clock is set has disappeared?
    My dad has the same problem with his Nokia, it may be the 3610 fold but I am not sure. We have both had many Nokias before and never had problems with the alarm clocks.
    I searched the discussion boards for similar topics but found no threads?
    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

  • Alarm clock not working in iOS 7 with multiple alarms set.

    I usually have two alarms set on my phone, both using the stock clock app.  One about an hour before I need to get up (so I can turn the heater on and crawl back under the covers), the other for the time I am supposed to get up.  The second alarm works just fine, but the fist one has not gone off for several days.  They are not recurring alarms because I need to change the time each day due to my work schedule.
    The phone is *usually* in a speaker dock which is plugged into the wall, and works just fine for the purpose of playing my second alarm or any of my music.  When not in the dock, it is still plugged in to the charger but uses the built in speakers.
    Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone know of a possible fix?
    iPhone model:  iPhone 5
    iOS Version:  7.0.2 (will be updating to 7.0.3 when I return home from business on Nov. 1st)

    Use IHome Sleep. It is great!! You don't need an IHome either!!

    try a soft reset by pressing volume down + lock keys until your phone vibrates.
    The silence will fall

  • Alarm Clock not working

    I have been unable to find a way to get the Alarm clock function to work on my nano.
    When setting to "beep" it should use the internal speaker on the nano, but it is not doing so (even with clicker sound turned on or through headphones or both).
    Time is set correctly, turned on, etc. but no alarm.
    Anybody else encountered this problem?

    I bought my 4gb black nano online, will I have a problem exchanging it instore here in LA? I want to exchange it, I'm very unhappy with the alarms not working. Even the guy at the genius bar couldn't get them to work.

    hi mate,
    have you checked that you are up to date with the latest firmware thur checking in Settings > Phone Update, and that you are up to date with all the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store? if you are, and you are still encountering problems then it appears you will need to visit your Nokia Care point for inspection of your phone.

  • Samsung Juke Alarm Clock Not Working

    I love my Samsung Juke and really do not want to replace it, but now my alarm clock is failing on me. I set it to go off two days ago. It never went off, yet the alarm was still set to "on". I even left the alarm on until today to see if it ever would. Nope. I also set two other alarms at different times. Same problem. My phone seemed to have this same issue around the new year of 2011 as well but a quick restart fixed it. It didn't work this time. Is there something I can do or am I doomed to use an actual alarm clock that wakes me up in a terrible mood?
    Help! I love my little blue swivel brick!

    Hi there taintedlove908! Regarding the alarm function on your Samsung Juke... When the time arrives for the alarm to alert you, does the device simply remain dormant and quiet or does it light up silently? What I'm trying to determine is if this is a feature failure within the phone or an audio issue. Thanks for your patience. I look forward to hearing from you!

    HOW TO FIX THE NON WORKING ALARM TONE!
    Hi,
    I also overslept because of this STUPID thing lol.. spent an hour on the phone to Vodaphone who was useless as a donkey and also into every phone shop in the whole of Brighton! No-one knew how to fix it...
    I just found how though... Although the update was done, there's another Maemo5 update which needs updating also...
    Go onto APP MANAGER, Go to UPDATES
    And update the MAEMO update on there 
    It'll do the update and will restart your phone, when its all back and powered up hopefully it should work again!!!
    Hope people will read this! It's simple but easy to miss.. Cheers guys and gals

  • Speaker for alarm clock not working

    I set the alarm clock for seven AM which seems to come on and flash, but I don't hear any alarm coming from the ipod touch. any ideas? thanks

    This is a bug. Whenever you sync it screws up your alarm. If you hold down the on off button for a few seconds and then slide the red slider, and then turn it back on, it gets "fixed." But it will get screwed up again.
    This is a BUG. Keep reporting it directly to support!
