IPhone 3GS frozen with Alarm going off!

This has happened a couple of times now...
I use my phone as an alarm clock. When I hear the alarm go off I reach for the phone and us the slide to stop the alarm.
A couple of times I've done this the screen has simply not responded, frozen, leaving me trying to stop it from waking the rest of the house up.
The only way I was able to stop it was by holding down the power and home buttons until it eventually switched off.
Anyone got any ideas what might cause this?
Thanks!

if you had something in your calendar it will go off

QUESTION - Has anyone else recently experienced an iPhone or iPad's alarm going off by itself, without being set by the user?

Has anyone else had his/her phone alarm (on the clock app) go off by itself, without being set, and with a very weird sound?
Happened to me at 11:34 pm last night (Oct 28, 2013). I'm using an iPhone 5 with iOS 6. Sound was named something like "Orari" and sounded like a woo-woo ghostly alarm. I immediately swiped to stop the alarm and then deleted the alarm, which I had NOT set, but which seems to have set itself. The iPhone was plugged into my iMac at the time. There is no such sound on my phone or, it seems, anywhere (I Googled).
The night before, Oct 27, something similar happened to my iPad mini running iOS 6 ... also plugged in to recharge, but at a wall socket ... the sound was like a fire or smoke alarm.
I know it's Halloween week, but some of us need our sleep!
Any explanations?

Hi Littleleslie,
Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen comes up, double tap the Home key and make sure you don't see the Alarm app in the list of background apps. If you do, swipe up on the thumbnail for it to close it out completely.
Then all you can do is wait to see if it will let you sleep through the night!
Good luck!
Cheers,
GB

I can't keep my iphone 3gs paired with Lincoln Sync. It seems to lose it when I shut my phone off at night.

I can't keep my iphone 3gs paired with Lincold Sync after upragding the IOS to 5. It seems to lose the pairing if I turn my phone off. Help!!

The message I have on the itunes wi-fi sync screen is "sync will resume when "computer name" is available. I know the computer is available because I am working on it and even opened iTunes. In addition, I verified the computer name was the correct computer name on this computer. So.... what would make it "not available"?

My iPhone 4 takes pictures when phone rings and alarm goes off.

My camera flash goes off when I receive an incoming call and when my alarm goes off.

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
Have you tried ALL the troubleshooting steps? If you have and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible exchange.

Is there a way to stop the brightness from going up when alarm goes off?

I have an iPhone 5s running iOS 7.0.6. I plug it in at night next to my bed and use it as an alarm clock. I am running the NiceClock app because it has a great black background with slim red clock numbers (doesn't throw a lot of glare). I am using the built-in Clock app that comes with the current iOS as the alarm (NiceClock, while great for a simple bedside clock with no glare, does not come with an alarm). I set my iPhone's brightness on the lowest possible setting to keep the backlight glare down. It's great. Low glare, and I can still see the time if I wake up in the middle of the night without having to fumble with the iPhone. My problem is when the alarm goes off the brightness level jumps up to maximum. Is there a way to prevent the brightness level of the iPhone from changing when the alarm goes off?

Yes the calendar is gone. I guess it is the notification center I am referring to that comes down when I accidently swipe the top of the screen. Is there a way to stop of notification center from coming down if you swipe the screen? I figured out how to stop the control center from coming up if you swipe the bottom on the screen. Now I just need to figure out how to stop the top of the screen from doing the same thing

My alarm goes off one hour early and this is a nuisance. How can I solve it

Every morning I wake up an hour early because my iphone 3GS alarm goes off an hour early. Please tell me how to sort this out.
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
To cause Mail to display outgoing attachments as icons instead of in-line, you can open Terminal.app and insert this command:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 1
To enable in-line attachments again once disabled (so attachments again appear as documents displayed in-line, not icons):
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 0

Alarm going off again, one hour afterwards

I have an alarm set for each weekday morning at around 6:15am... and this has always gone off without any issues, but I have this strange bug.
An hour or more later, the alarm goes off again. Just this morning, my alarm went off again at around 7:50am. I hit snooze a couple times until ~6:30, like I do every morning, and then I closed the alarm this morning (didn't snooze) and it sucesfully silenced the alarm... until 7:50am.
I do not have any other alarms. I've had this issue before, although it's inconsistant and sporatic (sometimes going off 20-30 minutes afterwards, sometimes closer to 8am again), so I deleted my alarm and recreated it last week. It was perfectly fine up until today. Very confusing.

I had the same problem ever since we switched back to winter time. I had the iphone (3GS) set to automatically set the time. Now I switched off the automatic set up and I chose the correct time zone and everything is working again.

Alarm going off in core center

I have an alarm going off in core center Theres a red arrow next to wherer it says 12 v. then in the white box it says 10.95 v any one know what it means and what I could do about it I don't know whats normal for the readings I get in core center. My pc has been locking up and certian games wont load unless it's really cool in the room.

Good questions! Some folks have acceptable readings with CoreCenter, by verifying them with the Hardware Monitor (in BIOS). I compared them with my SpeedFan program, and as far as temps go..I use a laser temp gun to check CPU, case, and video card temps. Voltages on the PSU can be verified with a voltmeter of course. The specifications on your NB fan should be in your manual. Or you can check out this thread at Anandtech:

Nano crashes (reboots) when alarm goes off

When the alarm goes off on my Ipod it just reboots and shows the Apple logo.
I have the language set to Swedish but when I set the language to English the alarm works without any problems, so my guess is that it's something with the firmware.
So here is my questions:
Is anyone experiencing similar problems?
Is it possible to reinstall the latest firmware, just to make sure it's installed correctly?
Can anyone test to set the language to Swedish and see if it happens for you too?
I have a Nano 3g with v.1.1 PC version.

Ok, then I guess it's a well known bug (at least in Sweden) now when we at least have three iPods with the same problems. So I guess we just have to wait for a firmware that fixes this issue.
I reported it as a bug to Apple (if they care), so let's hope they can fix it until the next update.
Thanks for your answer and if anyone else is having this problem maybe they can let us know in this thread. It would also be interesting if someone that has the language set to Swedish still can use the alarm (reminders) without it crashing.

Unknown "source"? Do you mean unknown "error" followed by a number?

Follow the instructions in the article. When you connect your phone again, you may have to press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo reappears, then continue pressing the home button until iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode.

'Get info' does not open after alarm goes off

Using iCal, before an alarm goes off, I'm able to 'get info'/'edit' the event, but after an alarm goes off, I'm unable to edit the event unless I quit and reopen the app. Any ideas why and how to resolve?

I posted this over a week ago. Does anyone have an idea how to rectify this. I can't be the only one having this problem!

Get a Boolean When a DSC Alarm Goes Off

Hello LabVIEWers!
I've got probably 30 shared variables that I'm monitoring and logging using the DSC module. I'm starting to use the alarms functionality and what I'd like to be able to do is run some code that sends my team a text / email when an alarm goes off.
It seems to me the easiest way to do this would be to somehow monitor the alarms and produce a T/F value that I can use to run a case structure. For whatever reason I'm not seeing how to do this easily. Is there a VI I'm missing? I just want to be able to produce a True value when the variable is in alaram and a False value when it's not.
Thanks for the help!
-Mike
