Alarm clock Fails to ring

There is an annoying bug with the Nano alarm clock whereby it fails to ring, and I hope there is a fix for it.
I get this behaviour mostly by doing the following:
Set a recurring alarm to say 7
After midnight on the date of the alarm and before it is due to ring, change the alarm time to one hour earlier.
result is that the alarm fails to ring.
This is a 5th gen Nano. Any fixes out there?

thx, but it has external speakers though it is hooked up to a Bose system overnight.
The alarm does work the mojority of the time, but in some situations (such as outlined above) does not

Alarm clock fails on 2011

this morning my alarm clock fails to set-off almost causing me to be late for work.. and i've been trying to set it off but it still doesnt work, did anyone has the same problem?

Hi, all...
The iPod Touch alarm function is, indeed, failing on many machines as of January 1, 2011. The current fix, according to several blogs, is to set a repeating alarm that includes the first two days of 2011--so Saturday and Sunday. This fix worked for me.
Apparently the problem is to be dealt with by January 3, but there is nothing on Apple's website that confirms this rumour...

I have had my iphone 4 for less than 3 months and i always have it in a protective case, recently my bluetooth that i use daily will not stay connected, my alarm clock will not ring, any suggestions on whats going on??

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Xpressmusic 5130 with a alarm clock that will ring...

Currently, the alarm clock only allows me to set one time to ring. (Wake-up time)
I am wondering is there any app to replace this alarm clock or I can use
Carbide.ui Series 40 Theme Edition to change this property?
Thanks
Jack
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can use the reminder function in the calender instead. It will allow you to set multiple alarms for each day & you can set it to ring daily if required.
Please mark the post as solution if it solves your problem.

IPhone 5 alarm clock failing

My iPhone 5 fails to go off with sound at my set alarms, but some work but others don't. And suggestions?

I have the same problem, except my phone wasn't plugged in. I leave it next to my alarm clock when I sleep and every few minutes I hear static - not like when the phone is on vibrate, but static like from a radio. I used to put my 4S in the same spot and never had the problem and my clock radio is off. The sound is definitely coming from the iPhone 5.

IPhone alarm clock fails when volume off

I set my alarm to wake me up this morning. It went off, but made no sound. I'd turned my iTunes volume low.
Surely it makes sense for the alarm clock to, by default, make a sound?

Not sure if you figured this out yet, but on my iPhone 3gs, I am able to turn the system volume all the way up (using the physical buttons on the left side), then turn my music on in the iPod app, lowering the volume using the iPod volume controls. Even when volume is set all the way down in the iPod app, I still hear the alarm as loud as my system volume was last set. Try it out, hopefully it works for you too.

Alarm clock fails as of Jan 1

Both iPhones in the house (3GS) failed to execute the alarm function this morning (v4.1 and 4.2.1). Please post a bug fix or workaround.

I'm dating a new girl that I offered to drive to the airport this morning at 6am for a flight to Puerto Rico (vacation).
My non-reoccurring alarm didn't go off. Bug. We missed her flight. The new, last minute flight cost us $600 extra this morning.
People now use their phones to wake them up. It's a simple feature. They're battery backed-up. Apple knew about this issue before it cost me $600 and made an incredibly awkward and rushed morning. They could have emailed everyone they knew had an iPhone with iOS 4 OS about this, or had AT&T send a txt message. Something. They did nothing.
No more iOS devices for me. This one error cost me more than the phone. More than my iPad.

Alarm clock with longer ring time

Hello,
When i'm using my alarm, i want to hear the ring for longer then 1 min.
Is there any program that can do it?
Thank you
Tomer

On iPad you can still do so. When you pick the alarm sound scroll all the way up and you should see "Pick a song". If you don't
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Alarm clock problem after Sync with N73

I have a problem with the alarm clock in my N73 (RM-133). From the moment on I had my phone synchronized with Outlook via Nokia PC Suite, the alarm clock fails to start the phone from power-off state - it switches on, and then the software crashes. A working alarm clock can only be restored by formatting the phone with *#7370# and therefore losing all settings and data.
Another thing that can be seen is that, after a Sync, if I set the alarm clock, turn off the phone, immediately turn it on again, the alarm clock is still set to its time, but the alarm symbol (the little bell) is no longer displayed.
I have absolutely no idea what the reason may be. It can not be incompatible installed apps, as the problem also occurs after a total reset without changing any setting in the phone. I have already once changed my hardware on warranty. I am always using the latest (unbranded original Nokia) FW available, same goes for PC Suite. Any ideas?

Oj, just relax and buy another phone, that's exactly what Nokia wants! I did so after 3 times sending back my N73 for various defects (keys, display, camera), then took a E65 for 2 years (which is far better, but not perfect, worked after 1 time exchange with a faulty SIM card reader), now I have a N82 which I had to exchange 6 (six) times for not having several stuck keys, scratches on the display, dust inside the display. This N82 now "only" makes strange noises when pressing keys like double-sided adhesive tape not properly fixed. Nokia knows about that problem (asked today in a shop). They fix it, but can't guarantee it getting better.
So... just sit back, relax, and throw all your expectations about quality from Nokia over board, learn how to be happy for getting some (mostly useless) answer from the support at all, and never think you could get a masterpiece of a working phone from Nokia if you pay them 'only' 400 bucks.

My alarm clock and other apps no longer play any sound. My ringer stills works, so what is causing that?

My alarm clock and other apps no longer play any sound. Ringer is still working and i can not find any settings that are turning off the sound. What could cause this?

I know for a fact apple doesn't want carriers fixing their phones. My carrier even warned me that they can't fix the phones only apple stores can fix them. Well guess what I just wasted my whole day by driving to an apple store they "fixed" my phone I got home and it started doing the same **** things they didn't fix **** now I have to waste even more time by finding a ups store to ship my phone to apple so that means I'm going to be out of a phone for over a week because they never fixed it or replaced it like they should have. I'm so upset with apple that if this new phone does the same things were dropping apple and are going to samsung. I wasted 4 hours driving and $40 in gas and 6 hours of my time for nothing. Apple needs to put in more store around the country if their not going to let the carriers fix the phones them selves.

One stupid question! I can't find how to put my alarm clock ringing tone

I hope very much that I was mistaken

Alarm clock and calendar event failed when we entered 1 Jan 2011 today!

This morning my alarm clock didn't work and the iphone just didn't recognise that an alarm was set. And the event alarm set for today in the calendar didn't work either. Obviously there are buds that paralyse these functions when we entered into 2011. Anybody knows how to fix it?

There's no fix as it's a bug. The only work around is to either set repeating alarms only.
Supposedly the problem will go away on it's own on the 3rd.

Alarm Clock/Timer pretty much useless.

Before the 2.2 update I had the normal low volume issue. After the update the notification and ringer volumes are fine. Last night i was playing around with the DX and set the alarm clock. When it went off if it wasn't for the vibrate and rattling on the table I never would have known. I have the alarm volume up all the way. I hope there is a solution, not that I'm going to depend on the DX as an alarm clock, but it's the only issue I have with the phone to this point.

In general, I have found that relying on ANY phone alarm to wake up by can be pretty risky. I downloaded a tone called "Danger"from one of the big free ringtone sites (also part of the iPhone tone collection) , ran it through Audacity to normalize (and hopefully maximize) its volume, it has never failed to wake me up.
Having said this, I had to send a memo around to the techs and staff here that said I will NO LONGER accept "i didn't hear my phone alarm go off" as a valid reason for being late. Yes, it got that bad.

Nokia N8 Alarm Clock Volume Problem

What is wrong with Nokia N8's alarm clock volume? I can not find anywhere to define the way it alarms (ascending, ringing, ...) and to set the volume.
The default clock has the ringing alarm, but I want to set ascending alarm. Also I need cont down alarm, so I tried couple of third party applications like Handy Clock, Time Machine and Egg Clock Touch. But The problem with all of them is that the alarm volume is too low and there is no where to adjust the volume.
Is there anyway to set ascending for the default clock alarm? Why there is no volume for the clock alarm?
I appreciate your help.

The alarm clock should follow the profile you're using, so if you set a profile to full volume and ascending , that should work, also if you try Nokia situations from beta labs you may be able to get the phone to automatically do what you want it to do !
