1112b Alarm Feature

Hope I'm not stepping on any toes, but I didn't see any postings of this nature in my search...
I have a 1112b that's behaving strangely... I've tried on several occasions to use it as an alarm clock, set for 7:00am, (displayed as 07:00, so I know it's am and not pm), and Auto-Update of Time & Date set to 'On'.
At about 02:00 (am), a strange lady tells me to hit snooze or turn off the alarm. I've confirmed that the time and date are correct, to include checks that it's displaying am time or pm time as appropriate... (displayed as a 24 hour clock, descibed above). I've recreated the problem on numerous occasions, having awakened and angered roommates in the process.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is the alarm being triggered by GMT instead of EST, where I'm located? How can I remedy this? Any help would be appreciated, by me, as well as my roommates.
Thanks, skev

What time zone have you got set in the phone? In the eastern United States you need GMT-5 in winter and GMT-4 in summer. If you have the auto-update switched on, I think it follows this.

  • What happen to the alarm feature?

    Hello,
    I use BlackBerry devices for many years. 
    Three months ago I switched from 9700 to Q10 and my girlfriend to Z30.
    When most of the features are OK (because there are still many issues when the phones freeze), what I cannot understand is the alarm feature.
    Obviously, battery usage is harder in BB10, it is especially visible in Q10.
    So...
    1. I set an alarm for e.g. 8:00 A.M., my phone battery is around 20%,
    2. In the morning the alarm does not wake me up, simply because there is no alarm - the phone is dead. 
    It is a critical bug, but maybe caused by poor Linux kernel in the new OS?
    3. I start to charge my phone and go to the bathroom. After 5 or 10 minutes when the phone wakes up, the alarm rings!!!
    And I need to get back from the bathroom quickly, just to turn it off.
    It is second bug, as since I connected my phone to the charger it means I already waked up! OBVIOUSLY! Why it needs to ring? There is no option "charge and skip the alarm".
    Will it be fixed? As far as I remember, in 9700 the radio is turning off after battery draining, and even then the phone is turning off later, but even then the phone can wake up with "empty" battery and the alarm, then turn off again.
    In Q10 there is no automatic radio turning off or waking up with the alarm.
    Is is so hard to save 3% of the battery, "fake" draining and turn the phone off? Then turn on with the alarm?
    Or turn the radio (and maybe applications) off like in 9700 to save the battery?
    I am a programmer, from my point of view it is 4 lines of code more to turn off radio and save battery, then half an hour work on the feature that wakes the "dead" phone up with the alarm. But I guess it is some kind of Linux / QNX limitation and BlackBerry team does not modify the core?
    PS. I cannot charge the phone frequently, simply because there is no desktop charger like for 9700. I need to use USB cable every time, which is a pain. I will need to consider moving back or choosing another manufacturer after all these years... Why did BlackBerry do one step back?

    It is about changing habits.
    I have a desktop charger for my 9700 and what I need to do is just place the phone there.
    No cables. The 9700 was charging all the time so I didn't need to worry.
    http://www.bbworld.co.uk/blackberry/images/9700%20desktop%20charging%20pod.jpg
    As far as I know this is impossible to do with Q10, so I need to aim with the microUSB cable all the time.
    It's obvious I don't charge it all the time, as I did with my 9700.
    But even if 9700 battery was drained, the alarm still worked.
    Of course I charge my Q10, I have my charger near to my bed and I charge it additionaly with USB cable on my desk. 
    Also I have a charger in my car.
    It's way worse than with 9700 anyway, as situation with alarm still happen.
    Sometimes I party and when I get back the last thing I think about is to charge my phone.
    And please don't compare BB to iPhone, I know it's way better, but it's still worse comparing to older models.
    I agree that Z30 is better in terms of battery, but it doesn't matter. What matters is sometimes I don't plug in the phone and Q10 doesn't turning off all wireless connections like 9700, and then the alarm is not working when the phone is off.
    I'm curious if I'll charge my phone completely and turn it off (e.g. to save battery when travel) it will run the alarm.

  • Nokia 5310 Alarm Feature Request/Improvement

    Hi,
    I started using the Alarm with my Nokia recently. As alarm tone i selected a song. Unfortunatly the alarm switches itself off after 1 min? Can this be changed. It quite annoying if you sleep deep and cant hear the alarm or want to keep listening to the song while waking up.
    It would be nice to have the alarm keep running. Or even make it play a playlist.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Not doable, the phone will just repeat the alert tone when snoozed.

  • N93 Clock & Alarm feature update

    Can Help me to update my CLOCK alarm feature of my N93 because it
    not << repeat the alarm >> !! to a specific days
    Thanks 4 all

    Good suggestion. However this is a user to user forum, not a place Apple comes to read. May want to send them feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • IPod Classic and iHome, alarm feature is not available!

    yeah, the most important feature to the ihome (even the latest version, iH8) is not available with the new ipods. i know mine works because i used to have the 30gb video.
    here are my troubleshooting specs:
    scenario 1:
    -set the alarm for a minute later than current time.
    -set 'alarm 1' which is the ipod alarm. it is supposed to wake up the ipod and play music (whatever was on pause before shut down, or plays the first song).
    -when alarms wakes, it merely wakes up the ipod, but does not play music.
    -it does seem to try to play the music, since the backlight comes on. it also says 'now playing' at the top status bar. it stays in the menu, has the name of the song and album artwork on the right (new menu style), but still does not play the music. luckily, ihome has a back up alarm for when it doesn't sense music and just beeps.
    scenario 2:
    -set alarm, and just paused it rather than powering down the ipod.
    -it works! but remember the ipod shuts down automatically after a couple mins.
    -scenario 3:
    -set alarm on ihome AND ipod.
    -hard to sync becaues times on ihome and ipod are off. if ihome doesn't sense the ipod's alarm in a couple seconds, it beeps.
    solution anyone?
    already did feedback to ipod. ihome is sold in apple stores, so both companies need to do some fixing. they need to let their associates know about this, very misleading.
    help me out if you can.
    a

    I'm in the same boat as well. I have an IH5 and have experienced the same problems. Hopefully a firmware update from Apple will resolve this but my gut is telling me that we will need to purchase a new iHome model.

  • I would like to turn off the CAUT ALM (caution alarm) feature

    Does anyone know how to turn off the alarm that beep three times when you turn off the car to remind you to take off the face plate?  I don't want to take off the face plate, and the beeping is driving me crazy!  The manual say you can turn it off by setting CAUT ALM to OFF, but there is no CAUT ALM option in my settings.  Anyone have any idea how to do this?  I have Sony model MEX-GS600BT.

    Hello,
    This option only appears while the head unit is powered OFF. 

  • How do I set my iPod's alarm volume separate from that of the other sounds?

    First of all, I tried to post this to the iOS Apps community, but there doesn't seem to be one for the Clock app.
    I wake up by the alarm feature on my iPod Touch, but sometimes the volume is turned down super low because throughout the day I have the volume in Settings>Sounds>Ringer and Alerts turned down while I teach. I did have the "Change with Buttons" turned on, but that seems to set the music volume the same, which I don't want (hearing a loud mail bing while listening to Bon Iver just isn't the mood I'm going for).
    I think the simplest solution, and probably most obvious since many of us use our Clock's Alarm feature, is to have it's own volume somewhere like Settings>Notifications>Clock. Something like that. But I can't find it. And if there were options to turn off the sounds in Settings>Notifications>Mail - or any of the preloaded iOS software - that would work, too. But there's not from what I can see.
    Has anyone found a workaround for this? How can I keep my Alarm volume without disturbing class all day with Mail and other notifications' sounds? I'd hate to find out that the "Most advanced iOS" still relies on me turning down the volume after I wake up and trying to remember it when I go back to sleep - both times when I'm too sleepy to think.

    This works on an iPod Touch, OS 6.1.6.
    Basically you need to
    - turn off "change with buttons" in Settings->Sounds->Ringer and alerts
    - turn on "do not disturb" in Settings.
    This way
    - the lateral buttons will only affect the music sound;
    - all notifications, lock, and unlock will be silent
    - but the alarm overruns this, and can still be heard (at the same volume as the music was last left to, I presume).
    So you can listen to Bon Iver withouth emails swooshing in and out, and you don't need to remember changing the volume before going to sleep and after waking up I have to say: pretty cumbersome to figure out, Apple!

  • How to set multiple alarms on E90?

    Hi guys,
    I want to set multiple alarms on a 24 hour period of the same day, please give hints on how this can be done, on my pervious handset I was able to set alarms for multiple dates & times.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Does the E90 not have the same multiple alarm features as the N95 & N82?
    Go into the clock, then press right for alarms. Then press Options > New Alarm and set it for the correct day and time. Then repeat the process to set mutiple alarms for the same day.

  • Change Alarm / Quality of Shared Variables for I/O Server

    How does one set the Bad Status of a Shared Variable in 2009?
    IE).  I have a custom device that communicates via TCP/IP.  I wrote my own I/O server that handles this communication and publishes a set of Shared Variables that my Main Application displays on a screen.  These variables are all doubles and hold pressures and temperatures.   If my I/O server in labview loses communication I would like to be able to set the status of the variables to bad so they will set off an alarm.  In our main application we have colour indicators that are able to display this status.  For example the background goes yellow for all indicators that are in "HI" alarm status, red in "HI HI" and orange when "Bad Status" (disconnected). 
    We were able to accomplish this using LabVIEW 7.1 DSC, by creating a VI to register all our "Tags" and a VI to run the server.  The server vi's that came with 7.1 allowed us to set the quality when writing to the server item.  Therefore when the device was disconnected or failed we could set the bad status and use the DSC system to log an alarm and use the alarm features to colour code our indicators. 

    None of the Shared Variable IO Properties can be configured to allow you to set the alarm.  You can only configure the properties such as turning the possibility of the alarm status on/off and the priority, name etc.  You do not have the ability to indicate that this shared variable is in alarm because your custom server has encountered a problem.   I've talked to tech support about it and I've been informed that this was something that was removed when the shared variable engine was introduced.   I've been told informed that the recommended alternative is to create an additional boolean shared variable that will contain the status of the items, or to write some sort of unique garbage value to the actual tag value to indicate there is a problem with it.
    I now have to come up with a new way of providing this information.  I just find it will likely be a poor programming choice because now my entire system will have to handle "tags" differently based on what hardware is being used.  (IE) if its coming from a custom I/O device or from an OPC / Modbus etc capable device. 

  • DSC Alarms: how to get the current alarm levels / setpoints

    I have a VI that can get the alarm levels for shared variables as they are set in the project library.
    But I have programmatically changed the values for the alarm levels, so the Distributed System Manager shows different levels as compared to what my VI displays.  I want the updated or current alarm levels - the ones that are retrieved by Read Alarms (called setpoints).
    I could use Read Alarms, but that only shows the shared variables that are in alarm.  I want all the shared variables in a process that is currently deployed.
    Any suggestions?
    BTW, is Distributed System Manager the same tool as Shared Variable Monitor?  I can't find the Shared Variable Monitor on my system.
    G

    Hi Gretchen,
    To answer your second question first, Shared Variable Monitor was the old name for what became Distributed System Manager. There was also some added functionality beyond just shared variables with DSM, so the name got changed. 
    As for suggestions regarding your application, I could use a little bit of clarification. I understand you're programmatically changing the alarm values and you want to display the values of your shared variables and their respective alarm states, correct? Also, when you're running your VI DSM does not update with the new alarm values (what happens when you hit the refresh button?). 
    I found a couple examples that may be useful moving forward Example 1, Example 2. These cover using shared variables and DSC's alarming features.

  • ALarm clock and sleep behavior

    I am using Alarm Clock 2.3.8 with my G5, which wakes the computer up at a specified time and plays music to wake me up, but one issue I noticed on testing it. I have a password set to wake the computer from sleep and screen saver, and when the computer wakes up, if the password is not entered within about a minute, the computer goes back to sleep, which I know is a normal behavior, but in this application is kind of annoying. But also, when this happens, it effectively puts Alarm Clock in snooze mode so the G5 wakes back up a few minutes later and continues like this.
    Is there any way to change the sleep parameters so that it won't go back to sleep if the password is not entered on wake?
    G5 Dual 2 GHz and iBook G4 14-inch 1 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    LOL. You could buy an alarm clock.
    While waking to music may be nice, I find the alarm function of my Nokia phone to be the absolute best alarm clock I've ever used: it starts out at a low volume and then quickly escalates to an ear-splitting level that I find impossible to sleep through. It also has a snooze function, though the alarm is so effective that it wakes me from even the deepest sleep.
    Most cell phones have alarm features, so you may want to try that if you have a mobile and want to eschew an alarm clock.
    Good luck!

  • HT4623 Unwanted Alarm/Reminder on iPhone

    My iPhone sets off an alarm/reminder sound when I have it connected to a power source and have the clock application displayed. I cannot find any place I've set it to do this. I can't use it for my alarm clock because this sound comes on randomly--usually at the top of an hour. Any suggestions to stop it so I can use the alarm feature on the clock?

  • Nokia 5800XM - Alarm snooze - how to cancel snooze...

    Hello all,
    Im solving little bit annoying alarm feature in my phone. Imagine that you have alarm set as DAILY at 6 in the morning. In the morning I snooze the alarm after first ringing by sliding the bar snooze. In alarm settings, there is a comment that alarm is "delayed to 6:10" (because of my 10minute setting).
    The question is, how to remove this snoozed alarm without waiting to 6:10 ? If you choose deactivate alarm, then you have absolutely deactivated your daily alarm, after activating back it is still snoozed to 6:10. The only option is
      a) wait until it starts ringing and choose STOP
      b) delete snoozed alarm and set the new alarm with 6:00 and daily repeating
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem??? How to quickly say to alarm: Cancel snoozing mode and turn back into normal settings ?
    thank you for any ideas and suggestions

    Hello frutisek  
    Hello frutisek  
    Your question is very valid and I can understand the issue. Even I'm facing the same issue with the latest phone of Nokia C7.  The requirement is very simple and obvious.
    Most of the people on this thread haven''t understood the problem correctly.
    Even a simple alarm clocks and basic phones do have such a feature.  The lack of facility to come out of snooze loop anytime shows the stupidity of the application engineers of Nokia/Symbian.

  • Daylight savings time and recurring alarms -- FIX IT ALREADY APPLE!

    Jeeze Louise! Apple has only known about the iPhone clock being unable to cope with recurrent alarms since LAST September when DST ended in Australia. iOS 4.2 did not fix it by the way. Nice how it wasn't released until -after- the entire Southern Hemisphere had already been late for stuff. Maybe most folks didn't have to work til Monday & caught on that there was a bug, but that's no comfort for we who work on Sundays.
    November I was early for work. Today was a different story. What the H-E-- Apple?? It's a CLOCK. None of my previous phones (circa 2006) with recurring alarm features had this problem. Maybe 4.2 "fixed" the fall back issue; guess we'll see this November. But good Lord! Can't they fix it both ways? I shouldn't have to plug in my old geezerly Nokia just to have a reliable alarm twice a year for DST. I'm not really I interested in a "work around" as at the price we pay for iPhones, this ought not be happening!

    And I just love how Apple doesn't have any way on their site to actually contact THEM when their customers have a complaint (or even a suggestion) about one of their products. No, we can only call during their office hours, at their convenience, not ours. We are left to ask fellow users for assistance we ought to be getting from the bloody Makers of our items. Who are likely just as ****** off & clueless as we are. Joy.
