1661 Alarm Clock Goes Off Randomly

I often use my 1661 as a backup alarm clock. I set the alarm to go off at a given time, with the setting "alarm once" (i.e. no repeat.) My problem is that the alarm clock will go off randomly before the set time. For instance recently I set the alarm for 7:05 AM. The alarm went off at random times overnight, for instance 2:14 AM and 4:52 AM (not the exact times, just an estimate). The clock showed the correct time when it went off. Has anyone else experienced this? It's obviously quite a problem.

At another site, it was suggested to turn off the automatic synchronization.
I am trying it right now.
In the USA, given the extremely poor coverage of the T-Mobile network, it does make sense. Basically, the phone gets confused as to what time it is every time it loses updates from the network. The software says: "Hey, an alarm was set and I do not know what time it is... let me ring just in case... " and there goes your sleep!

  • Alarm Clock goes off 30 minutes later then expected in IOS 4.2 in Venezuela

    The app worked OK under 3.1. This problem appeared in 4.0 but was solved in 4.1. The bug reappered in 4.2. Venezuela is -4:30 GMT. When I set up an alarm at 7:00 AM, it goes off at 7:30. There seems to be a problem with the time setting. I had the correct time in Miami. Then I flew to Caracas (Venezuela) and when the new service provider was recognized, it set the time 30 minutes behind. This was in IOS4 version 4.1 - when the alarm clock was working OK. I had to set the Region parameter in the International Option again to get the right time, even as the time setting is on Automatic Adjust.

    Yes, I have tried that, many times. It is frustrating, because after googling about my problem, all I can find is numerous forum threads created by people having exactly the same problem as mine, but with the difference that all of them get their iPads to boot using the 2 button trick.
    It does NOT work for me, no matter how I try it (iPad plugged in computer or wall, not plugged in, iTunes open, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, etc).

  • After I set a repeating alarm clock to off, it goes back to on after a few seconds.

    After I set a repeating alarm clock to off, it goes back to on after a few seconds. What is happening and how do I fix it? I have an iPod touch, 4th generation, iOS 5, no jailbreak whatsoever.

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My Iphone 5 clock alarm isnt going off when its "on sound", it acts as if its on vibrate and doesnt wake me up. Started with the IOS upgrade. Is there a bug?

    My new Iphone 5 clock alarm isnt going off where I can hear it.  Its started on my 4S when I upgraded to IOS6 and even on the Itouch too.  I set the clock alarm, turn on sound (not silent), the alarm goes off, but no sounds comes out.   I have to reset home to get it to recognize its off, but that doesnt always work, it did it on both my Itouch and Iphone5 I almost over slept this morning because never of them went off and woke me up.   Acted as it the sound was down (which it wasnt) and it was on silent mode (which it wasnt)  Is there a bug with this?  I cant trust my phone now to wake me up.  Any help?  Thanks Tracey

    Same problem here. Me and my girlfriend swapped iphone 5's (she has white, I have black) in may and I rely on the alarm every morning to wake me up for work. It hasn't let me down.
    A few days ago I set 2 alarms very early in the morning to wake me up for an early morning flight. Neither alarm made a sound & I missed the flight!!
    We then swapped our phones back & she has just had exactly the same thing happen & has missed an important meeting at work. Again, quite an early morning alarm. The odd thing is I have a black iphone 5, also latest OS,  never had this happen to me...
    Has anyone solved this problem. I can't make it repeat (reset the same alarm for a different time & it goes off fine).
    Does I need to buy her a dedicated alarm clock!?!

  • Alarm not going off in Lumia 520

    Recently I updated my Lumia to WP8.1 and a couple of days later I find my alarms not going off at all, or they do so on random days.
    It is really a big issue for me cuz I have to wake up early quite often and without an alarm its impossible.
    Please do help or suggest an alternative
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If its the Built-in Alarm, I don't think there is any Volume setting for it .. Its independent of the Ringer+Notification as well as Media+Apps Volume. BTW, do you atleast see the Alarm screen displayed when the time is reached ? If yes, did you try selecting any other Tone ? 
    Try a Soft Reset : Press and hold Power + Volume(down) keys until the phone vibrates (about 8-10 seconds). Phone will reboot. Then check whether it gets resolved ...

  • Alarm Clock going Crazy after updating 3GS

    After updating to iOS 4.1 on my 3GS when I set the alarm clock for 7am it goes off at 6am.
    How can I get my phone's alarm to go off at the time a set it to, instead of an hour earlier?

    I have the same problem, and so did everyone at uni I asked this week, but it seems to only be the alarms that are set to repeat each week, if you set a "one off" alarm it goes off at the right time which makes it more confusing. Must have something to do with daylight savings and the fact the government keeps making it start earlier and earlier each year.

  • Flash goes off randomly

    My iphone flash goes off randomly. Not the flash alert for texts and calls. Just randomly. It will stay on. I have to hit phone to make it go off. I read online it's probably a short in the phone. What should I do? Will apple fix it?

    Yah, I'm sure it would. I found the answer a nano second later:

  • Alarm keeps going off on 3GS

    My wifes 3GS's alarm keeps going off constantly. There is no alarm set on the phone but it keeps going off dozens of times a day. She has tried the soft reset with no luck. The constant alarm is killing her battery life. Any ideas?

    Have you had a quick look through the forum for all the other posts regarding this, or read the newspaper or watched TV in the last couple of days?

  • Alarm incorrectly going off since Daylight Savings Time

    My alarm is always set for 6:30AM Monday through Friday.
    Since Daylight Savings last week, my phone has consistently gone off at 5:30AM, and the 6:30 alarm doesn't go off. If I set a later alarm, say for 6:31AM (in addition to the 6:30AM alarm), my phone will go off at 5:30, and then 6:31... disregarding the 6:30 alarm.
    I have deleted my alarms and then rebooted the phone, and then added the alarms back in. Unfortunately, my phone keeps going off an hour earlier than it should.
    Last night I set an alarm for 6:31AM and deleted the 6:30 alarm, and my phone went off at 5:31, disregarding the 6:31 alarm.
    Any ideas on how to fix this, or am I doomed to wake up at 5:30 the rest of my life?

    Or you could expect a product that you pay for to work as it's supposed to.
    I don't disagree with that.
    The iPhone, and ALL smart phones are highly complex devices. There are several hundred different programs all interacting with each other, in addition to the phone operating system.
    This software is constantly being changed and updated. Certain versions will be stable with certain applications. Updates can cause bugs (like the clock not working).
    I am a pilot. I do not use the navigation programs on the iPhone. I use a FAA certified navigation system, because I need something more reliable.

  • Retina display on Mac Pro goes off randomly while working

    My client has the latest Mac Pro (cylinder) with two screens, one of which is the latest Apple Retina display.
    In my client's own words, here's the problem:
    "My monitors have been really buggy. The retina display just cuts out - then randomly comes back on.
    I have verified that all cords and plugs are secure and that the power source is on... it's been doing this since the beginning but is worse now.
    Sometimes one stays on and the other goes off -- sometimes it switches.  When I reboot the same thing happens.
    I ran disk utility permissions and repair just in case and all seems to be in order."
    Mac Pro (64G RAM)
    I searched online but haven't found any info on this problem
    Any ideas?

    Howdy generatech,
    To help resolve or troubleshoot the issue with these monitors intermitently turning off on their own, I would use this part of the following article:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays - Apple Support
    Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
    If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
    Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Indicator light on adaptor plug (one into MacBook) goes off randomly

    OK- began recently (like three weeks ago): The LED light (amber while charging the computer and green once charged) on the plug into the computer randomly goes off.
    Initially I thought this was only happening when the machine had been charged for a wee while and the green light had been on for a while. While attempting (in vain) to report this to Apple Technical Support (on silent hold for a VERY long time- something in the region of 15 minutes) it also went off on charging the computer (it was showing needing an hour's charging). So that is not much help as it appears to do it arbitrarily.
    Another consideration- when the light goes out the computer's desktop indicator (I have mine set to show me charge TIME remaining) of the battery charge remains on full but when I unplug and replug the power adaptor (which is how I get the light to come back on) I notice that the computer has been LOSING charge and erroneously telling me it was fully charged (ie still maintaining supply to the computer despite light being off).
    Once this happened with the 9 minutes to spare while in Photoshop. Could have been disastrous! Hence me attempting to get it resolved by Apple...
    I finally got word from Technical Support who had to get reply from something called Higher Technical Support that until I rule out the MacBook Pro being responsible (and it is only 5.5 months old) I would not be getting any help from them.
    Hmmm...
    Can anyone shed light on this? I have been reading that with earlier batches it WAS the power adaptor to blame and all had their chords replaced.
    Is this still the most common solution?
    Is there anything I could be doing to figure out what is going on?

    There are several things to try.
    First, reset the SMC:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
    If this doesn't help, the next thing to try is to find a friend (or an Apple Store) that has a Mac like yours and try swapping your power adaptor with one that is known to be good and see if the problem goes with the adaptor or stays with your Mac. Also try the same thing with a known good battery. By swapping parts with a Mac with a properly working power adaptor and battery, you should be able to tell if the problem lies with the power adaptor, the battery, or your Mac.
    It could be that you have a defective battery, as there have been a number of these. There are a couple of battery programs that might apply:
    https://support.apple.com/macbookpro15/batteryexchange/
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/
    I think if you could try these steps and narrow down the possibilities, it would help toward getting your issue resolved.
    Good luck!

  • Alarm keeps going off an hour after it should

    Ok so my iPhone nicely reset itself the other day in accordance with daylight savings but for some reason my alarm clock keeps going of late which is annoying as I've been late for work 2 days In a row now has anyone else had this.

  • Alarm is going off without being set

    There are ample threads about people setting alarms that don't go off, but this is the reverse problem. The last two days, I've had an alarm go off that wasn't set. In fact, no alarm was set at all. I have no recurring alarms setup on my phone, I just have about 6-7 regular alarms named with the time the alarm is set to trigger and I enable them on demand. Last night, I didn't set one because I have today off so I wanted to sleep in. And boom, at 5:30am, it went off.
    anyone ever seen this? 

    check and see if your alarm clocks aren't set on repeat. Clock - plus sign on the top right - repeat -
