Incompatible message with iHome Alarm Clock

I have an iHome alarm clock and after upgrading to the latest version of IOS the clock and my iPhone are no longer working together. I get the message that the phone does not support this accessory. I have tried resetting my phone and deleting and redownloading the necessary apps. It is very frustrating. Can anyone out there shed light on a solution?

I'd say the most likely answer is they did not follow Apple's design specifications for peripherals and now it's catching up with them.

IHome Alarm Clock

Is the Ipod nano compatible with iHome alarm clock?

According to their site, yes, but you need an adaptor.

IPod Touch and iHome Alarm Clock

We were just given an iHome (iH4B) alarm clock for iPod. The specs state that it is compatible with the 2g 16gb Touch that we have. However when it is time for the alarm, the music stops after about 30 seconds and is replaced with alarm beeps.
I think there is something wrong with the iHome but am wondering if there is some trick about the Touch that I don't know about.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

If it works with Bose but not with iHome, you should contact iHome.

Help with the alarm clock, please!

i'm using the ipod mini, and every morning the alarm clock goes off with the exact same song. is it possible to make the mini choose the alarm clock's track randomly? or, at least, is it possible to choose a different song to start my morning off with?
thanks!

The iPod wakes up to a song from a playlist. It chooses the first song in the list.
Although I've never tried it, it may choose something other than the first song in the list if you set the songs to "shuffle".
Failing that, you would have to create a different playlist with a different song and select that to wake up to.

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.

Need help with my alarm clock, with Timer task and Timer classes

k everything is almost complete to get this alarm to work. It goes off and everything. But the thing is that it has a start button and when you click it to start the alarm the text changes to "Stop". This way if the user wants he can turn it off. Yet it works fine, the only problem is when the alarm actually goes off, the button text doesnt change back to "Start". Im not sure how to control private data members in classes from other classes. This is very fustrating, help would be apprieciated. here is the code that i have so far:

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.

Nano 4g will suddenly not work with alarm clock. What happened?

As of the last time I synced it, my iPod nano 4g will not work with an alarm clock. What happened? It doesn't work with mine or with my roommate's, and her iPod will work with my clock. My iPod will PLAY in the clock dock if I turn it on and hit play, but won't wake up and play anymore as an alarm. I tried setting the alarm on the iPod instead of on the alarm clock, and that doesn't work as a fix (it won't make the clock wake up). ARGH.

Yeah, mine won't work. Just started acting up this week.
It doesn't work at all. I can set the alarm for any time, and it simply doesn't go off. I got a replacement phone of the same LG Accolade model, and it doesn't work either.
I switched the clock display settings, thinking there might be a glitch there. Didn't work when I changed it, or when I put it back to my original settings.
Agh!
Hi Robert116,
Please ensure that you have software version VX560V04 installed on your phone. For instructions to view software version please visit this LINK.
If you do have the correct software version a LG Accolade VX5600 - Master Reset may resolve the alarm clock issues outlined on your post. A master reset will resolve issues if any of your phone's system files became corrupted.
Please keep in mind that a master reset will erase all data and restore preferences to factory default specifications. Performing a hard reset is only recommended when the existing data has been backed up or is unwanted. Please backup your information before you do a master reset.

Music Alarm Clock

Hi. I was wondering if there is any way to use the ipod touch as an alarm clock that plays music. With my ipod video, it could either play a playlist, or my ihome alarm clock could play it. But with the touch, it cant play music with its own alarm, and the ihome cant wake it up and play it all at once. Does anyone know if there is something that will work? (why would apple take out something thats actually useful like this?)

I played with this a bit tonight after discovering that my son's Touch apparently didn't wake with his iHome iH8.
I think that turning off the automatic screen lock on the Touch will prevent it from locking up, and allow the alarm clock to wake up the Touch to play music. I've run a couple quick tests and they seem to corroborate that. I'll let you know how it goes in the morning...
So, you've got a choice: hassle of no music via your iHome, or hassle of disabling the screen lock.

GSM shielded alarm clock?

I currently have an iHome alarm clock which I use every night with my iPod. My issue is that it is not GSM shielded and therefore I cannot keep my phone within 10 feet of it. Does any one know if there is a product like iHome that is GSM shielded? I would like to keep my iPhone next to the bed when I sleep.
Thanks

I think Logitech has something called the iDream. Check their website or google iDream. I may have just seen an article on Gizmodo.

Iphone can't work with Ihome radio player

I have an ihome alarm clock radio thing jig. But when I plug iphone to ihome, iphone does not like ihome and does not work.
Is there an adapter to enable iphone to work with cool ihome radio and speakers?

You say it does not work. Do you mean that it absolutely does not work, are you have problems when you hook them together? I should work, but you probably need to use "Airplane mode" to turn off the WiFi and Phone network support while on the iHome. This means you cannot connect to the internet or receive phone calls, but it will work as a regular iPod.

Alarm Clock

Hi,
I have iphone 3GS this June 2010. I am in Adelaide Australia. On 3rd of Oct'2010, South Australia started day light saving and the clocks are wound one hour ahead. The time is automatically updated to new time from my service provider ( Telstra) . However I start getting a strange problem with my alarm clock. Say if the alarm clock is set at 6.00 in morning, it actually comes up at 5.00 PM which is the winter time for 6.00 clock. I was unable to understand it for some time but then realize it might be some software glitch. I double checked it and found the alarm always comes up 1 hour before it is set.
Some body help.

I think it is rediculous for this to even happen on an iPhone especially a 4, it didn't happen on my 3G. For all the money and rig-a-ma-roll you have to go through to get one of these phones, you would swear they were gold and could text to the heavens. None of my other much cheaper AT&T phone I've had in the past 10 years never had this clock/alarm issue. It's simply unexceptable! Just fix it without any hassle on are end.

Alarm clock missing after OS update

Hi, I recently updated to the latest OS, and have a major issue with the alarm clock (Curve 8520).
The red alarm clock time has disappeared from below the main clock display, and will not appear when I go to menu then set alarm.
Luckily I am off work this week, so don't need it, but do require it back.
I have tried a battery pull etc, but all to no avail.
Please help.
Many thanks

Please make sure to set your alarm to ON and not to Weekend to test. The red text will hide during the weekend itself. If it is because of the new OS, have you tried downgrading back one revision or checking the responses people have given on this OS?

Alarm clock issue after OS upgrade to 5..0.0.973

I upgraded to 5.0.0.973 and now I have issues with my alarm clock not displaying the time while charging at my bed side. I have Verizon and tried using the latest upgrade from Sprint. 5.0.0.1030 but the alarm clock issue remains. Rolling back the upgrade I am told would be one answer, but is there a way to dispose of the offending file somehow might be a good fix. Totally frustrated with BB at this point. One of the few things l like about my phone and they mess it up!! The Droids and the I-wanttobetrackedeverywhereIgophone is looking attractive these days.

Well i have the same issue, let me go over the items i have done.
First did the OTA upgrade. Issue happened.
then i downgraded to .886. worked normal.
Updated with Desktop Manager. Issue happened.
Wipe of Device to see if software conflict. Issue still happens.
also done several batteries pulls to see if that would fix it. still issue happens.
I've just downgraded again to .886 and it works. at this point i am going to be staying with .886 unless a fix is found for .973.

Alarm clock not working - 2700 Classic

When I set the alarm clock on my new 2700 classic, it does not sound or vibrate in the morning, and the alarm bell symbol indicating that the alarm clock is set has disappeared?
My dad has the same problem with his Nokia, it may be the 3610 fold but I am not sure. We have both had many Nokias before and never had problems with the alarm clocks.
I searched the discussion boards for similar topics but found no threads?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
