Clock App timer problem - no noise

Since moving from iOS 7 to iOS 8 the timer on my clock app no longer works properly.
It counts down and you can see the reamaining time on the lock screen but when it gets to the specified count down time, there is no sound.
The lock screen lights up but there is no noise at all.
I have done hard reset, reset settings, upgraded to latest ios, restored as new - nonthing makes any difference.
The only way I can get a sound is if I change the sound each time I set the timer - very tiresome.
The problem happens if I use Siri and also if I use the app manually without changing the sound.
The alarm clock works fine.
Any help gratefully appreciated!

I have a reproducible bug with the alarm in iOS 8.0.2 on iPhone 5. If the alarm goes off when the phone is sleeping I normally can silence in 3 ways: 1) use "tap to stop" on lock screen; 2) use power button to return to sleep mode; 3) use vibrate switch to turn ringer off. However, if I inadvertently swipe down to access notifications when the alarm is going off, when I return to lock screen the alarm can no longer be silenced by 1 & 2 listed above (only 3 will work). Powering off will also work, although I have read here that some are having the alarm remain on even after reboot. I can reproduce this problem as often as I attempt.

Problem with Timer in Clock app in IOS 8

I've noticed an interesting change, a bug I suspect, in the Timer part of the Clock app in IOS 8. If I set a timer for say, 5 min, and I happen to check the timer before the alarm sounds, so it is showing on the iPhone, the alarm goes off, But I cannot stop it, cancel it, whatever. I have to go back to the home screen to tap done. This wasn't the behavior before. I suspect is shouldn't be now. Anyone else seen this? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Problem with alarms in clock app

I set an alarm for 7:30 am for Saturdays and Sundays, but the alarm sounds at 6:30. it shows up as "weekends" properly, and my phone is set to the correct time and time zone and daylight savings is correct. I checked to make sure that it was from the apple clock app by changing the sound, and I tried deleting and adding a new alarm, but it keeps going off an hour early.
is there a better solution than switching to a 3rd-party app?

I'm having this exact problem too

Clock app: How can I shorten the time that the alarm goes off?

I use the alarms in the basic clock app. They always work. The problem is when the ipod is not in my immediate possession. I have an alarm set to go off at noon. Today it chimed until I could get to it at 12:11. Isn't there a way to tell it to ring for 15 seconds, 1 minute, etc? It just goes and goes until I get to it.
All other third party apps look like you need to remember to leave their app running. If I would remember that, I probably would not need the alarm, unless I used it exclusively for waking up.

Sorry it is not possible to adjust the alarm ring time.

Has anyone had problems with the clock app in iOS 6?

The clock app has been updated and now allows me to use a song as my alarm tone. Have been wanting apple to do this for a long time. Problem is that when alarm goes off I get no sound. The phone just vibrates. I do not have the phone muted. Guessing this is a glitch in the app? Anyone else having similar problem?

Been using iOS 6 now for a couple weeks on an iPad 2 and twice have relied on it as an alarm clock. Both times it's failed to play the song I've designated as the alarm. I've tried it with the cover open and closed, volume maxed and not. Each time, after the designated alarm time, I've opened the iPad up & entered the security code only to be greeted by the alarm message pop up. That's it.
Kinda frustrating, to say the least.
Am I using it incorrectly? Having used the clock on the iPhone this way in earlier versions of iOS, I've never had an issue. Would like to leverage this functionality, but being 0 for 2, not sure I want to risk a third time...
Thoughts?

How to fix the Clock App's timer?

Hey guys,
So I have been having a recurring and permanent problem ever since I moved to iOS 7.
I have an iPhone 5 and with iOS 6 the timer function with-in Clock was working perfectly, up until the release of iOS 7. Then the timer stopped functioning as designed...by which I mean, I could set a time for 20 seconds, 20 minutes or 2 hours. It would make no difference. The timer would start correctly, and count-down correctly, but when it came to ringing off the alarm signalling the timer had finished, that however would not occur. No sound, no nothing. It would not matter if I set the timer with Siri or manually; no difference.
I am only posting this problem (which arose in October of last year) now because I was hoping that subsequent updates to iOS 7 would eventually fix the issue, and of course they have not (at least for me). I have not yet tried wiping and restoring the phone to find out if that helps. It was partly to find out if anyone else has had this issue.
Lib.

No I do not have any issue with the timer. Just tested 2 minutes using Siri and it works.
Do you have "When Timer Ends" > Radar or any other sound you have set?
Is your mute switch at the left side of iPhone ON?
Have you done a reset after deleting the Clock app from multitask-list?
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

Clock app adds a minute to the timer all by itself

I would never believe it if I had not seen it. My boss told me that while using the timer on the clock app that it added a minute to the time as it was counting down all by itself. It seems to happen about 1 out of 6 times we tried it. We set the timer to 2 minutes and pressed start. It counted down to 1:53 then showed 2:52 and continued to count down to 0:00.
Then I tried my phone and sure enough after a few tries mine did the same thing. I think mine was at 1:17 when it then jumped to 2:16 and continued to count down.
His iPhone is a 3Gs 16Gb Black and mine is a 3Gs 32Gb Black. Both are running 3.1.
If anyone has seen this before please let me know. Thanks!

Just found this article. Looks like this problem has been around for a while...

Ios7 clock app I can no longer see the time or cell signal at the top of the screen.

I just updated to ios7 I have the iphone 5.
I can no longer see the cell signal or time at the top of the clock app. I actually have to leave the clock app to see what time it is or try to read the analog clocks in the time zone section. I have a friend with a 4s, and they can still see the stuff at the top of the screen. Help? Is this a bug, or is there a setting I can change?

This is what it loks like...no time or cell signal at the top

Is there any way to sort the alarms differently in the Clock app? I have alarms for multiple days during the week, all of which overlap each other. It makes no sense to me that the alarms sort by time and not day. Thanks!

No, there is no way to change the sort order.

Timer on clock app dimmed

On my clock app, the section where I adjust the time I want for the timer is dimmed out. It's only for the timer, world clock/alarm/stopwatch are all working perfectly only the top half of my timer section is dark. Anyone have any ideas? I have already tried soft reset, restarting and resetting settings. The countdown time displays normally once I start the timer but just when I want to set the time, it becomes really dim. The bottom half(area with start/pause) always displays properly.
Thanks!

Have you tried switching between the Timer, Alarm, Stopwatch, etc? Switch to one of these, exit, close the app as I described in my first post, reopen the app and then select Timer.
If still no joy and you've alrady done a reset, your next step is to restore with your backup. After that it's restore as new, i.e. without your backup.
Or download a Timer app from the App Store.

"This app cannot be downloaded at this time" problems

I Have a iPhone 4S version 7.0.3 and for the past week I've been unable to download or update any of my apps. I've been searching these forums and nothing I've seen has worked. I've turned it on and off I've reset all my settings I've signed in an out of the App Store and iTunes. The only option I haven't tried is the whole restore thing. But my laptop won't support any form of iTunes so I cant back up my phone so I can reset it. I've tried to back up my phone to iCloud and no matter where I go and how long I stay there plugged in and connected to wifi it won't back up. this app download problem is recent and I can't figure out how to fix it. Please help

I have this same exact issue. We have even put all apple servers as not even being filtered by proxy and it still wont download anything. Nor will it let us even log in or create a new acct in the app store. It seems its also not just app store related....as it won't even let you check for IOS updates when a proxy is entered.
If anyone has any ideas let us know!

Daylight saving & Clock App

In Australia we have just switched to daylight savings time and my 3G iPhone running version 4.1 change the internal clock perfectly. The odd thing is that the alarm function in the standard clock App supplied with the phone, is going off an hour early!! Has anybody else experienced this and if so is there a fix?

We are having the same issue in our house. We have 3 Iphones (two 3GS and one 4) and reseting like this unfortunately does not fix the problem. The problem exists only with alarms that are set for a repeat (i.e. weekdays) and has only happened since daylight savings kicked in on Sunday morning . If you set an alarm on its own with the setting "never" in the repeat field the alarm should work fine. This is obviously a software issue that needs to be fixed and can't be fixed by a simple reset. I have tried everything from creating a new alarm to reseting the phone etc without any success. This problem is mostly likely linked to another issue users are having of alarms not going off at all over this weekend in Australia and also the issue of Iphones in Queensland changing time automatically even though Queensland does have day light savings.

Is it safe for iPhone to run alarm clock app and be on all night, every night?

Is it safe for the screen to be on all night every night running an alarm clock app? Yes it is plugged in and charging.

I use the builtin alarm clock app all the time without any problems.
I don't plug the iPhone in because it appears to use very little battery while it is sleeping.

Does a clock/ alarm clock app damage the PB screen?

There are some nice clock apps for the playbook and I'd like to put my PB in a dock for overnight chaging and have the screen display a clock, but I'd rather not do that if it will damage the screen or visuals?
Anyone have any information on this - I cant find an answer online.

We have left our internet access terminal on for past 3 years with a LCD screen. No issue with it cept for the light is a bit yellowed from being on all the time.
I have used my playbook a bit often over the past year and no screen burnin at all on it

IPod Touch clock app fails to sleep in 3.0

It seems that since the 3.0 update, the clock app fails to 'sleep' my iPod Touch (1st gen) when the set time elapses -- allowing the ipod to run all night, and completely drain the battery. Is anyone else experiencing a similar problem with the clock app?
