Ihandy alarm clock pro no sound

I have used the ihandy alarm clock for a few years on my 3GS no problems.
It's great as you can set the alarm to your choice of music and give the phone a shake to snooze rather than push buttons
Since upgrading to an iphone 5 the alarm has failed to go off on three occasions... slept in once, wife's alarm got me off the hook the other twice
The first time I thought I had forgot the alarm or had the sound turned off. All other sounds on the phone were silent. A reset fixed things
The second time the display showed that the alarm was running but there was no sound. A reset was required to get any sound out of any application
On both occasions the sound button was set to on.
I wasn't able to reproduce the problem and neither was the person at the Apple store but they replaced the phone THANK YOU
That was a week ago and it has been fine till this morning... same problem, saved by my wife's alarm
There are a few posts about similar irrefular problems but no apparent conclusive solution
Any ideas please?
Thanks
Peter

I've had the same problem with the iHandy alarm clock on my iPhone 4.  Sometimes the alarm works fine, but randomly (twice per month?) it will appear to be alarming, but with no sound.  Once that happens, there's no sound from any app, and I can only fix it by rebooting the phone.
I've tried checking the sound on the phone every night before going to sleep, but even that's not a reliable precaution.  One time the alarm sounded normally at the alarm time - I pressed snooze and went back to sleep - then the alarm failed to sound at the snooze time. 
I switched back this week to the "12,24 Alarm Clock Sleep Music" app - it's an older app and doesn't have as many features as iHandy, but I haven't had reliability problems with it.
I wonder if iHandy's "background alarm" functionality somehow conflicts with the iOS?  The 12,24 clock doesn't have that feature, which is one of the reasons I switched to iHandy clock - but it's more important to have a reliable alarm.

  • Iphone alarm clock makes no sound

    The day after daylight savings my iphone alarm clock stopped making any noise. Its very stressful and im sure its not on silent, do not disturb. The ringer and volume are all turned up it just doesnt even vibrate. Its not that it doesnt say there is an alarm, the screen will turn on and say an alarm is present but it just wont make any noise or vibration ): . This happened right after daylight savings and ive had enough is anyone else having this issue. I really dont want to restore it just is so much work. I mean i will if i have to but has anyone come up with an easy solution?

    Have you tried resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, go into your Alarm, edit it, and see if the sound is playing correctly when you select the alarm sound.
    You can also try editing it to a different alarm sound to see if that is working.

  • Alarm Clock apps?!?!?!?!?!?

    This is quite ridiculous. The clock app that comes with the iPhone has absolutely NO customization options whatsoever when it comes to alarms, and its just flat out lame. (Apple really outdone themselves to keep everything absolutely simple, they failed, as in functionality, on this criteria this time)
    I went on to search for alarm clock apps on the app store and found this free version of Alarm Clock Pro and tried it out, I liked it a bit, it offered a bit of customization than the built in clock app the iPhone comes with. So I went on ahead and bought the Pro version for .99 because the ads on the free version were annoying.
    But wait, you have to leave the alarm clock app opened throughout the whole night for it to work to wake you up in the morning? HUH?? WHATS GOING ON?? I always wake up to find that half of the battery from my iPhone is drained because of the alarm app!!!! Ridiculous! I previously owned an android phone and was able to quickly find a free alarm clock app on the market that offered even more customization and all for free, and you dont need to have the app opened for it to work!!
    Someone please tell me there is something else for the iPhone that can be like that, while I already wasted .99 cents on the suppose BEST alarm clock app for the iPhone, I'm even willing to pay for a new alarm app that offers the same exact thing the android has to offer.

    Unfortunately no alarm clock app will wake you up to a mp3 from your library when it's not open.
    This is something Apple has not allowed. We tried to come up with a solution ourselves with our alarm app but as other developers realized it cant be done . We are still working on a solution though; not giving up!
    Our app if interested is alarm app that wakes you up and speaks short weather reports to you http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sleep-fm/id388631053?mt=8#

  • Alarm Clock won't go off if you have a waiting alert

    On my Pre the alarm clock will not go off if I have a waiting waiting Calendar reminder.  This has happened three times this week.  I have calendar reminders for tasks that day and if they are waiting for me to acknowledge them the alarm clock will not sound.  Has anyone else had this issue?

    As minor as it seems, I can't wait for the clock/alarm to be upgraded. I use it all the time and this one leaves a bit to be desired. I hope one of those small 3rd developers is working on one right now It my biggest disappointment (well that and visual voicemail).

  • Looking for a good sound dock/alarm clock for iPOD Touch 4

    I saw one other post asking about a sound dock here and out of the 3 responses, I think only the Bose was mentioned.
    I was just curious if and/or what sound dock/alarm clock combos you all would recommend? I just got a hold of the White Noise app and I would like to be able to use it through a sound dock in my bedroom as I sleep with a fan at night and the audio output on the iPOD Touch itself is not loud enough.
    I don't want to spend an arm and a leg either on a sound dock/alarm clock if at all possible.
    Thanks,

    Altec Lansing. Im using the 'inMotion compact' and for its size it gives a h*ll of a punch with bass wise. As for as price goes, its reasonable.

  • WINDOWS 8.1 ALARM CLOCK DOES NOT HAVE SOUND

    WINDOWS 8.1 ALARM CLOCK/TIMER DOES NOT HAVE SOUND

    Hi:
    Works fine for me.
    The machine need to be ON for the alarm to be heard & sound/speakers needs to On & Volume turned up to audible level.
    Laptop can be in sleep mode but not powered off.
    Try right clicking on the speaker icon. This should open a window that is titled "Sound". When you select the playback tab -> it will show icons of the audio devices you have connected to your computer.
    You will need to select your stereo speaker device and then click the button "Set Default". This should enable your stereo speakers to play the sound.

  • My alarm clock doent sound now that I have 7.0. Any body know why? how to fix it?

    my alarm clock doesnt sound since I updated to 7.0 .. how do i turn up the volume so my alarm isnt silent?

    I found that what worked to correct this issue on my iPhone 4S was to turn off automatic app updates. I went to Settings - iTunes & App Store - and under Automatic Downloads, switched Updates to off. My apps that were stuck in 'Waiting' immediately began downloading.
    Although I would like to be able to use the automatic update feature, at least I found a fix to the 'waiting' issue for now.

    How can I download a purchased ringtone so that it appears in the sounds column for the alarm clock sound

    Welcome to the Apple Community Elizabeth.
    You should be able to access any book you have purchased from iTunes anywhere.
    Do you have settings > iBooks > Show all purchases turned on.

  • MacB ook Pro Alarm Clock?

    I just wondered if there's some sort of alarm clock built into MacBook Pro. My alarm clock just went on the blink, and I need to get up early in the morning.

    Hi David,
    Try this free application. It'll wake you with any song from your iTunes library and will even wake up your Mac if it's asleep.

  • Alarm clock - how to make it sound only, no vibration

    Hi,
    I hate being woken up by a vibrating iphone : is there a way to have a "sound only" mode for alarm clock?
    Thanks,

    Far as I know, you have to flip the side switch so that it doesn't show the orange strip AND turn vibrate off in Preferences/Sounds. That's the only way I've managed to turn off vibrate for the alarm clock. Of course, it's a pain to have to do it all over again when you want to set your phone to silent and still know someone's calling or texting you...

  • 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.

  • How can I change the alarm clock sound on my iPhone

    I can't figure out how to change the alarm sound on the Alarm Clock in my iPhone?  Anybody got an idea for me?

    What's wrong with you? Oh, now that you realized you made a mistake and I didn't say "Alarming"? The app tited "Alarmed" is the first thing that pops up if you search the App Store using the search term "Alarmed". It is also the name of the app as it appears on the screen of my phone.  Oh, and the developer refers to it as "Alarmed" on his website.It may not have occured to you but, it is possible for more than one app to have the same name. Most of the people here are smart enough to figure out which one is the alarm clock by reading the description. But, we've already covered the reading comprehension thing,

    No. Sorry. The only way to accomplish that would be to use a 3rd party app.

  • How can I turn my Mac using iTunes into an alarm clock?

    Here's my question: How can I turn my Mac, using iTunes, into an alarm clock?
    I want to be able to put my Mac to sleep but have it set up so that when it wakes up at the predetermined time iTunes will open and start playing the music I've selected....
    A "musical alarm clock"...
    A friend suggested using the Energy Saver option in Sys. Preferences to wake the computer at the right time. He said that then I could use iCal to start iTunes. I would then have to use an Apple Script to get iTunes to play the song I want.
    But is there a SIMPLER way to do this? Are there any programs out there that do this already??
    Thanks for any help....

    I recently got a copy of AlarmClock Pro from MacWorld UK. It is shareware, I think it is (USD?)19. I haven't had a chance to try it out much, but it does look quite good. I have an older version. The latest version looks even better.
    I'm sure there's plenty of freeware apps out there. You might also want to try looking here for an applescript here Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes
