IPhone Alarms API

Dear Apple or Anyone
Do you know if Apple is going to offer a API that will allow Alarms to be running in the background. I need a Medicine Alarm tool that will alert me when I am in any app or screen on my iPhone. I need a tool that will keep a alarm running until I stop the alarm. I had a similar tool for my treo and need an alternative.
Thanks
Ken

This is a user to user forum, so you will not get an official Apple response here.
I'm not sure about the alarm running until you turn it off, but I think my alarm goes off whether I am in an app or another screen or a phone call.
Unless Apple announces, there is no way to know what they will or will not do in the future.

Does the iPhone alarm work when the phone is turned off?

hi there
i am wondering if the iPhone alarm will still go on as scheduled if you have the phone turned off at night? thanks in advance -

ok thanks- that is what i thought - i used to have a different cell that the alarm would work even if you had the phone turned off. so this is a good to know, so that i don't have the phone turned off if i need to wake up in the morning using the alarm.
thanks again

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.
Cheers,

IPhone alarm clock via speakers

Hey,
I wanted to ask if the sound of my iPhone alarm clock is transmitted to speakers while it's connected with the Apple Universal Dock. I tried it with a 3.5mm wire but no sound was transmitted.
Does anybody have some experience with the iPhone alarm clock and speakers?
Thank you very much
Philipp

you should get a Kicker and download the kicker kickstart app great sound loud sound and an alarm

IPhone Alarm Sound Used on My Name is Earl

Tonight (09-27-07) I was watching "My Name is Earl", yes I know...we are all supposed to be smarter than that here but, they used the iPhone's Alarm sound about 3 times during the prison scenes to simulate problems within the prison. The showed a big horn speaker and you heard the iPhone Alarm sound. If you get a chance to catch a re-broadcast you will know in a second that's where they got the sound. Maybe it's a royalty free sound and Apple took it from the same library of sounds that the TV producers got theirs from. Again, kind of dumb but thought it was worth mentioning.

Yup... Apple swiped it from "The Hollywood Edge" a sound library used for scoring movies and tv shows

Why don't iPhone alarms work when the phone is switched off?

How come iPhone alarms won't work when the phone itself is turned off?

DSC alarm API Timestamp

Hi,
We are currently building an application for electrical systems using cRIO and DSC HMI features. Our intention is to generate alarm condition in cRIO and display the alarms on HMI-PC using the DSC alarm API. We are looking for a very precise timing on alarms down to less than 10 milliseconds. Our current setup is configured as follows:
cRIO has a Boolean shared variable to trigger an alarm condition via calculations in cRIO.
HMI PC also has a Boolean shared variable aliased (PSP-URL) with the cRIO variable. We do this in order to enable Alarms on the PC variable and use the alarming API functionality.
From our understanding, DSC alarms API display PC-system timestamp whenever an alarm condition is triggered from cRIO. Apparently, the shared variable engine (SVE) on cRIO communicates to the SVE in the PC and passes information about alarm condition and timestamp. However the SVE in the PC only passes on information about alarm trigger to the DSC alarm API; it doesn’t take the timestamp and generates it using system (i.e. HMI PC) time.
We were wondering if we could get the cRIO timestamp on the DSC alarms list "set time"? This is the best desirable situation.
Do we have to write the cRIO timestamp to the citadel database becasue DSC alarms API just reads alarms from citadel? Once alarms are acknowledge, it wrties back the information to the database. So, there is something editing the database which is not transparent.
Any feedback on this to enlighten our understanding will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
If I'm not mistaken that you want the timestamp data from the cRIO to be transfered to the PC, there is a setting at the cRIO shared variable (you'll need to set it at the Project Explorer where you create the time stamp) which you can have the shared variable to give out time stamp: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/lvconcepts/sv_using_nodes/
Alternatively, you could set the shared variable to transfer data of cluster data type which consists of timestamp and the datatype that represents your alarm trigger information: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/DDEB4D9BC34705C086257242000FF7DB
If you are using RT programming, you can place a timestamp related functions like Elapsed Time Express VI or Get time in seconds (which you need to convert using ) and bundle it with the alarm information using Bundle.vi or Bundle by Name.vi and write to the shared variable
Or you could give a screenshot of the program an explain using the screenshot on what you are planning to do.
As for your alarm acknowledgement thing, if your PC is connected with your cRIO always, you can just create some sort of hand shaking tools and use one or two shared variables specially for acknowledgement purpose. Something like a 2 way handshaking operations in a TCP/IP protocol.
Hope that helps

Is the iPhone alarm supposed to sync with iwatch? I can't get any alarm notifications from my iPhone to my watch. Do I have to just set up whole new alarms specifically in my watch?

Is the iPhone alarm supposed to sync with iwatch? I can't get any alarm notifications from my iPhone to my watch. Do I have to just set up whole new alarms specifically in my watch?

Yes, they should sync. Check the Watch app on the iPhone and look at Calendar - make sure it's set to Mirror my phone
If it still doesn't work, reset the Watch, restart the phone and re-pair the Watch - fixes a few glitches

My iPhone alarm clock is not working. Anyone else?

My iPhone alarm clock is not working. I have the latest software: 6.2.1. I set my alarm at 11:30 pm to go off at 12:30 am and 3:30 am, neither went off. I actually wok up right before 3:30, open up the clock app to see if my alarm was on and both the alarms were set to off. I have been having trouble with alarms similarly the last week or so.

Hi Homer,
I would suggest a re-install of the iPhone to fix this issue.
Make sure to do a full backup of the iPhone before you do this otherwise you may lose some of your data

My iPhone alarm is not going off.

Ok, so... Several mornings in a row my iPhone alarm has behaved very strangely. If I set it for 7:30, with the "crickets" sound, both occasions I've woken up at 8:00, a half hour late. When I wake up, there are no crickets sounding. Strangely, when I look at my phone there is the interface on the screen that offers to allow me to "Snooze". That, to me, indicates that the alarm has triggered. I just don't get the sound.
I've used the crickets sound for at least a year now. My traditional experience has been that when the crickets start chirping, the generally chirp forever until I tell them to stop. I've even come home to them chirping because I forgot an alarm I set. So... what's up?
Also, no... the headphones are not it. And, the silent toggle is not on (not that it should matter - the alarm goes off even with silent on).

Also I should mention that Apple said it is a hardware issue, but a software issue.

Iphone alarm issue

hi there,
I have an iphone 3gs running ios4.1 (windows based, itunes 10.01.22).
since the daylight savings changeover here in New Zealand my alarm has been going off an hour early every day, this is for scheduled alarms, one off alarms seem to be working ok.
I have attached several local articles about this and clearly it is not a one off problem.
Im sure someone has already asked, but is there an official solution to this?
see attached articles.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/gadgets/4170853/iPhone-alarms-ring-early-in-da ylight-savings-glitch
http://www.iphonewzealand.co.nz/2010/all/iphone-alarm-borked-by-daylight-savings /

I was late to update to iOS 4.1 but when I did the battery on my phone would drain at a drastic rate. I did a lot of things such as turning off push etc. to resolve this problem but to no avail.
This morning my phone alarm went off one hour early as some others have said. I live in North America so have not rolled the time back so this really doesn't explain the problem. After doing some online research I did a test on my phone and found that if the alarm is not set to repeat it goes off at the correct time, but if set to repeat (everyday) it will go off an hour early.
Furthermore my battery drain issue seems to be fixed as of today. I have used my phone very little today, as I have gotten used to using it sparingly, and my battery is still at 93%. In days recently passed with similar usage it would be down to 50% - 60%
Bottom line, something in the phone software (iOS 4.1) seems to have been set to change today 1 Nov. 2010 and apparently fixed a battery drain issue but screwed up the alarm.

[FIXED] iPhone alarm not work issues..

New Year’s 2011 breaks (non-recurring) iPhone alarm clocks (update: auto-fixes)
Fixed:
http://iphonefunny.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-years-2011-breaks-non-recurring.html
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.

Slept in this morning due to this problem!
Many Thanks For the Fix!!

Did iPhone have API for video recording?

Did iPhone have API to write an application for video recording?. I have read all the document about audio&video that release along with SDK beta5 but can't find anything about video recording, all they said is...
Audio
Support for recording, processing, and playing audio files and streams.
Video
Support for full-screen display of video files.
if currently iPhone don't have API for video recording, Did apple will develop it in future release of SDK?
thank you.

Here is a link the the apple developer site that might help out.

Iphone alarm on 3 jan 2011

my daughter is a resident doctor and it is critical for her to arrive at the hospital prior to 6am. since we (her parents) are visiting we did a test on the iphone alarm this morning. I set a non-recurring alarm at 4:45 and a 4 day recurring alarm at 5am. She set non-recurring alarms at 5am and 5:15am and a recurring alarm at 5:30am
none of the non recurring alarms worked but both of the recurring alarms worked perfectly. This test leads me to believe the problem is in the calendar and the recurring alarms work because the app is activating the next day schedule and not the current day. Thus I suspect the recurring alarm set for mon,tue,wed,thur may not work on thur because the calendar is off 1 day.

I had the same issue this morning with the one time alarm. I tried it again after having turned off/on my iPhone and it worked.
