IPhone alarm not working when phone is switched off

Is this right? My Nokia alarm always used to go off at the desired time even if the handset was completely switched off, but my iPhone doesn't appear to be able to do this?

the iPhone won't be completely off then since it keeps the time adjusted and working, so it is running in the background!!!
it is a matter of a software update!!
if the iPhone as u guys claim is OFF OFF then u need to set up the time each time u turn it on!!
that's what I know
The iPhone is also not completely off, but it doesn't do anything noticeable when off (such as disturb others in a movie theater by sounding its alarm).
But then of course nobody would surely be so stupid as to set an alarm to go off when they're going to be in such a place.

  • Why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 is turned off

    why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 for is  turned  off works fine when on most other phones work when off

    The only phone I've ever had that would turn on and sound the alarm is a Blackberry. So, I'd hardly say "most phones" have this function.

    Try this:
    1. Reset the iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep/wake and home buttons and releasing them, when the Apple logo appears on the display. Now test again.
    2. If the issue persists: Restore the iPhone without any of your own content, using this description from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    3. If the issue persists, Your iPhone need repair.

  • My iphone is not working when i plug off from charger.

    My iphone is not working when i plug off from charger. Evenmore when it is on the charger and it still not working, it asks to connect to i-tunes but i can't and i can see only emergency calls. What should i do?

    If it only works when connected to a charger, that would indicate a battery issue.
    As for the other issue... do as it suggests and connect to iTunes then restore.  There is no logical, intelligent expectation that anything on the device can be accessed as long as the "Connect to iTunes" screen is displaying.

  • USB not working when phone is on

    USB not detected in PC when phone is on (and not charging of course), but working well on fastboot and flashmode

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • HT4623 os6 iphone 4s wifi password does not save when phone is turned off and turned back on

    i just udpated my iphone 4S to OS6 and when accessing my secured wifi I add my password and then joins secured network.  However, if I turn the phone off and turn back on again the wifi connection is lost and cannot re join until I add my password AGAIN.  Tried soft reset and reset network but nothing worked.
    Any other suggestions?

    If you do a search of the forums, there appear to be a number of postings regarding iOS6, wi-fi security and random disconnection of wi-fi. It appears, as the posts have discussed, it is connected to the use of WPA2 security. Most of the posting, however, have been related to iPhone 5, not the 4S. As far was what was posted, they say Apple has been made aware of the issue and they are looking for a fix. Not sure if that would help the iPhone 4S, because it does not support both bands as the iPhone 5 does. Just remember that WEP is less secure than WPA2. You might also try restarting your router after changing back to WPA2 on the phone, depending on what the router is set for.

  • ICal alarms not working when my mac has been off during time of alarm.

    Surely there is a way to make all the missed alarms go off when I do turn my mac on? Please help!

    To clarify, I set an alarm for 10am.
    My Mac is off all night until 11am when I turn it on. When I do turn it on I do not get the 10am alarm!

    The iPhone alarm bug will fix itself on January 3, but if you want to fix your phone now you can simply fix it by editing the alarm and setting it to repeat for multiple days.

  • My iphone is not working at all its completely off and wont turn on.

    my iphone 4s is not working at all it is completely off and wont turn on, what should I do?

    No, I haven't learned anything more.  It doesn't happen to me enough to warrant trying to swap it out for a new one, though I have discussed the possiblity with the folks I bought it from.  They are not big-volume Apple sellers but I was the first to complain to them about this problem.  Hasn't happened to me in over a month.  Some people are convinced it's a problem with the phone, not the software and therefore not fixable, but I suspect there is more than one reason it can happen.  I'm hoping my problem is cured, fingers crossed and all that.  Good luck, glad my post helped you.

  • N76 Date does not advance if phone is switched off

    If I switch off my N76 on a Friday and leave it off till Sunday the date remains as Friday. The time is still correct. I then have to reset the date manually.
    I have a repeating alarm set for Weekdays (Monday to Friday).
    I am running the latest available software - i.e.
    v30.0.015
    26-08-07
    RM-135
    Nokia N76 (70.01)
    Any suggestions?

    That's a very strange one!
    I'd assumed the time and date both ran off the same secondary battery backed system.
    I guess it could potentially be a software issue meaning it might be fixed via a factory reset or a firmware upgrade (remember to back up first!). If neither of those work, I'd take it to a service centre - preferably on the Monday so you can show them the problem.

  • Iphone 5 not working when plugged into widows

    i have an iphone 5 around 6 months now, it charges perfectly and when i plug it into my laptop it does not show up at all, at the start this was not an issie and i now can now sync music or even charge it on the laptop. i have tried a different laptop and i different lead with no luck. the apple mobile device is intallef and both iphone and itunes are up to date in terms of upates. Ive tried alot f things at this stage and i looked at the thing on the itunes support on this and tried the things it said, again the phone is not even charging on the laptop, i have a windows 7 laptop and iphone 5.. any halp is great thanks

    With the device not connected to the computer, remove and reinstall iTunes, following the instructions in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923. Make sure you follow them in order, or it could lead to problems. After reinstalling, connect the phone. It should reinstall the drivers at that time.

  • Iphone apps not working on phone

    I downloaded and bought quite a few apps.... it was working for awhile but now everytime i try to enter an app it pulls up for a second and just quits and returns to the home screen (this only happens on the apps i downloaded from the app store) i've tried on/off and backing up and restoring the phone and it happens the same. I think it would work if i didn't back up the phone and start over by downloading the apps... but i paid for these apps.... is there any way around this?

    If the apps show up in iTunes on the computer, then you can safely remove the apps from the iPhone, then reinstall them back on the phone with a sync.
    In iTunes, on the left side where you see "Applications", make sure the apps are listed there. If so, connect the iPhone, and in the "Applications" tab, uncheck all the apps listed, then click Apply. This will remove the apps from the phone (and transfer any from the phone to the computer that may not be on the computer already). Once that is complete, make sure your phone has no applications except for the default ones. After that, re-check the apps you want to install back on the phone, hit apply, and go from there. Sometimes a simple reinstall will fix many of these issues.

  • Ical to Iphone alarm not working

    Maybe i have a bad combination.  I'm using the iPhone 3 running OS 3.1.3 since 4 slowed the poor little down so much.
    I have iCal events which i have no problems syncing between several laptops and the iPhone, but I can't seem to get the thing to pop up an alarm on the iPhone.  I can get it to do it on iCal.
    So I've tried Growl and OmniGrowl... first i started w/ the growlit.scpt and tried to get the event in iCal to read that script but I got an error that says connection is invalid... then I bought Omnigrowl thinking I needed something with the word Omni in it... :-)  Got other pop ups on my laptop, but not on my iPhone.
    Any suggestions?  is there a "start over" button? 
    thanks

    Did you have any luck solving this problem? I have the same issue too, but I have an iPhone 4. Would greatly appreciate if you had any feedback. Thank you.

  • Alarm not working when sleeping

    my ical is not sending me email reminders when it is sleeping, any suggestions?

    It can't! When it is sleeping iCal isn't doing anything. When you wake it, iCal should pick up the missed alarms and notify you.
    Leave the machine running if you need the alarms.
