N78 weekly alarm problem
Noticed a bug when setting a weekly alarm. For example, if I am setting a weekly alarm for Friday while the date now is Tuesday, I cannot change the alarm day to Friday as it will always reset it self to Tuesday. To set a weekly alarm for Friday I either have to wait until its Friday or change my phones date manually so it becomes Friday. Quite a weird bug.
FW is 12.046 , workdays is set from Sunday to Thursday (Friday and Saturday are off).
Can anyone else confirm this?
Confirmed. I have the same bug:
It's Thursday and I can't set a weekly alarm for any other day.
Edit: model N78, type RM-235, language set 009, version 12.045.051.1

Missed a flight due to Alarm Problem!
I don't know why apple didn't send out any warning messages to users about this issue. Apple really upsets me!
No, January 1st is NOT when the i Phone alarm problem hit -- Apple has known about this problem since it first showed up on iPhones in New Zealand in October. see this Apple Insider report from last November:
"The new support document [<http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3542>]*, published on Wednesday [11/03/10], comes days after Apple made headlines with an iPhone bug that caused repeating alarm clocks to go off late across Europe. The issue occurred because of a change from daylight saving time, and could repeat itself in the U.S. on Sunday when America concludes daylight saving.
Apple's documentation notes that users can resolve the issue by setting the repeat interval on an alarm to "Never." If users reset their alarm every day, the daylight saving bug will not affect them.
The support note says that after daylight saving ends in the U.S. on Nov. 7, users will be able to set their alarms to repeat again. The iOS issue affects the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G, as well as the fourth-, third- and second-generation iPod touch models.
In October, the same bug caused alarm clocks in New Zealand to go off an hour early. Apple said it was aware of the issue and had already developed a software fix, but it has not yet been released.
This week, Apple released the golden master of iOS 4.2, the next software update for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, to developers. Golden master status suggests that the software is finalized and a release to the public is imminent. It's possible that Apple could release the software update before this Sunday, allowing users who update their iPhone to iOS 4.2 to avoid the daylight saving bug."
*Apple Support doc: <http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3542> posted November 3, 2010, which said:
"Symptoms
In some regions, shortly before or after the daylight saving time (DST) change, repeating alarms created in the Clock app may work incorrectly.
Products Affected
iPod touch (2nd generation), iPod touch (3rd generation), iPhone 4, iPhone 3G, iPod touch (4th generation), iPhone 3GS
Resolution
To resolve this behavior for existing alarms, set the repeat interval to Never. You will need to reset these alarms for each day you need them.
After November 7th, 2010, you can set your alarms to repeat again"
NB: This Apple Support doc was posted 11/03/10, and has not been updated since.
But the problem didn't "fix itself" on 11/07/10, after the DST change, and it didn't fix itself today, January 3, 2011 -- Apple's next promised date that the iPhones would "fix themselves," -- as both my daughter in CT, and my son-in-law in KC, KS can attest: their iPhone "wake-up" alarms both went off an hour late, in different time zones.

iPhone alarm clock glitch: Still not working; iOS bug FAIL
By Richi Jennings. January 3, 2011
Despite Apple's promise that it would fix itself by today, the iOS alarm clock glitch is still making pomaceous owners oversleep. iPhone and iPod Touch alarms stubbornly persist in not working due to yet another bug with alarms. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers rub their eyes in disbelief.
From SkyNews, 01/03/11
An Apple spokeswoman released a statement to Macworld on Jan. 2 saying it was aware of the problem and that the alarm on the £499 ($773) handset would begin functioning normally again Monday.
However, the firm has yet to release a further statement on the problem.

from CNNTech, 01/03/11 ,http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/mobile/01/03/iphone.alarms.mashable/index.html?hpt= Sbin>:
"Apple said yesterday that the failure of its clock app only happens when you set a one-time alarm, and it will somehow fix itself on January 3.
"We have made a call and sent an e-mail into Apple asking why this happened."
From PC Magazine: <http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2374971,00.asp>:
"iPhone Alarms Still Silent On January 3 "Self-Fix" Date"
"Just two days ago, we reported about a frustrating glitch for those using various permutations of iOS 4 on Apple's iPhones—specifically, an annoying bug that was preventing one's mobile alarm from ringing on either day.
"The bug allegedly only affected single alarms set for either January 1 or January 2. According to Apple itself, the company was aware of the issue and was advising users of a crafty workaround—setting recurring alarms for either day, which would bypass the issue for whatever reason. And according to said Apple spokesperson, the bug would allegedly go away on its own come January 3.
Or so we all thought.
"Reuters is now reporting that some iPhone users are indicating that the alarm issue persists, a claim that's being slowly backed up by affected users' Twitter posts."

"iPhone alarm problems persist
By Hayley Tsukayama
Call it Y2K-11. When a bug kept iPhone and iPod touch alarms from sounding on Jan. 1 and Jan. 2, Apple suggested that those having trouble should set recurring alarms, and that the alarms would fix themselves by Jan. 3, the first work day of 2011."
Yahoo News, UK & Ireland, 01/03/11: <http://uk.news.yahoo.com/22/20110103/ttc-uk-apple-asia-fe50bdd.html>
"Some iPhone users in Asia and Europe complained of malfunctioning alarms on the first working day of 2011, even after Apple reassured users that its phones' built-in clocks will work from Monday.
"Bloggers, Facebook and Twitter users complained they missed flights or were late to arrive at work, as the alarm built into Apple's iPhone failed to go off for a third straight day for some users."

iPhone alarms hit by New Year glitch
Setting New Year single alarms was to no avail
A glitch on Apple's iPhone has stopped its built-in alarm clock going off, leaving many people oversleeping on the first two days of the New Year.
Angry bloggers and tweeters complained that they had been late for work, and were risking missing planes and trains.
Apple has acknowledged the problem and says it will be fixed by 3 January.
The reason has not been given but the glitch appears to affect single alarm settings on the iPhone 4 and earlier models with software updates.
“According to the company, the problem will resolve itself on 3 January, but that is two days late for many people”
Jonathan Fildes
BBC Technology reporter
A similar problem hit the iPhone alarm when the clocks went back in November, again causing many users to be late for work or for transport arrangements.
"We're aware of an issue related to non-repeating alarms set for January 1 or 2," Apple spokeswoman Natalie Harrison said in a statement quoted by Macworld.
"Customers can set recurring alarms for those dates and all alarms will work properly beginning January 3."
'Two days too late'
"BBC Technology reporter Jonathan Fildes says the problem is embarrassing for Apple, not only because of previous problems that came to light when the clocks changed, but because the company prides itself on the simplicity of use of its products.
"This seems like another simple error, but it cannot afford to have too many before its reputation becomes tarnished, he says.
"Apple should have learnt from that example and seen this one coming, he adds. According to the company, the problem will resolve itself on 3 January, but that is two days late for many people.
"More than 1.7m people around the world had bought iPhone 4 handsets by June 2010, in what was the company's most successful product launch."
DEAR APPLE DISCUSSION GROUP MODERATORS:
This is not a rant, I'm simply reporting the news regarding the situation with the iPhone Alarm function as it stands this morning, 01/03/11. People claiming that this was a new problem as of 01/01/11 are simply wrong, as your own TS doc <http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3542> of November 03, 2010 clearly attests.
It would certainly be helpful to know the latest Apple timetable for the iPhone alarm problem to "fix itself," or if Apple has managed to come up with any workarounds, other than the third-party alarm clock apps that are available for the iPhone.
Best of luck.

Hey!
Have just tried to use weekly alarm for the first time on my 8 week-old 6220c and encountered a problem - it defaults to today's day of the week, instead of the day I had set it for
Went to place of purchase and they played around with it, and then tried restoring the factory settings, but still didn't work. I then took it to Nokia ("No, that doesn't seem quite right") who upgraded the software and reformatted the phone. When I went to collect it, I tried it in the store and it still wasn't working.
The sales assistant then checked with someone out the back and came back with the "good news" that there isn't anything actually wrong with the phone, THIS IS JUST ONE OF ITS FEATURES!
Today is Sunday. I would like to set a weekly alarm to sound every Friday, but now have to wait until next week to do so. Great feature!
Any ideas/solutions would be most appreciated.
Cheers
Tranmere36
ps. Surfing the web, I have noticed that other people have had the same problem with this model. One person in October 2008! They had also posted the comment they hoped Nokia would fix this problem soon!Since I joined this forum, I've heard very bad things about Nokia care and their Service Points. But your experience takes the cup. It's clearly a bug in the software and they didn't want to admit they couldn't fix. That was just poor service. On the other hand, everytime I've had to call Nokia care with a problem, they were able to sort it without hassle, sometime it took a couple of weeks but I understood because this was with complex issues.
Show your appreciation. Hit that kudos button real hard -
Nokia 6220c: Weekly Alarms Issue
Dear Nokia,
While setting a weekly alarm, the phone does not respond correctly. For instance, if I set it to alert me on 07:00 hrs on a Monday (and if today is a Wednesday), the phone sets the alarm for every Wenesday 07:00 hrs and not every Monday!!! I've tried several times to get it right but all my attempts were in vain. The handset never had this glitch when I purchased it. Surprisingly enough, it started giving trouble only a couple of days ago. Please help.
Best Regards,
DarshanHey!
Have just tried to use weekly alarm for the first time on my 8 week-old 6220c and had exactly the same problem (defaults to the day you're on).
Tried restoring the factory settings, but still didn't work. I then took it to Nokia ("No, that doesn't seem quite right") who upgraded the software and reformatted the phone. When I went to collect it, I tried it in the store and it still wasn't working.

Alarm problem ios 8 malfunction
Since upgrading, my alarm won't go off. For years, I've kept my iphone on do not disturb and I still get woken up. My sounds setting is with the volume all the way up and the setting of Change w Buttons is off. At first I assumed it was a wifi problem because I deleted my stored music. So, yesterday I downloaded my wakeup song. Again, today no wake up. No vibration, even though the vibration is on. I haven't found any complaints about this bug. When I finally do wake up, the Alarm function is on the screen, but no vibration or song. Help!

Re: Alarm problem ios 8 malfunction
Yes, I have the same issue. Song only plays once and that's it. (mine is also iPhone 5s on iOS8)
The whole alarm thing on the iPhone is very substandard in that one actually has to find the right buttons/sliders when still half asleep and eyes and mind half closed. Impossible for me, so I still rely on my good old Nokia phone (no SIM card in it but it still does many functions without) as a reliable alarm. It beeps, I press Snooze and it repeats after 10 minutes etc. Easy!
I think the Apple guys should work a bit harder on this topic as I am sure many folks rely on their phone to wake them up. But it is too fumbly and unreliable which is not good enough for such an expensive product. -
Nokia N78 - Date, Alarm, Messages issue after upda...
Hi all,
After software update of my Nokia N78 I retrieve many problems;
please see the list below:
1) Data change suddenly
for example... 26 April ... to 8 May
I noticed that this issue happens often during the week-end.
2) Alarm doesn't work for the daily scheduling
For example:
Scheduled alarm at 17:00 everyday.
sometime happen that the next day alarm doesn't start !!!
3) Alarm don't turn on the phone.
Like the point 2, but in this case often the phone doesn't wake up me !
4) The sort of SMS message.
happened that 5/6 old sms was on top list (sorted by date)
I delete this messages in order to fix this issue.
Please help,
Thanks for your support.
//LucaHi !
About point #4, yes, I know ... thanks anyway.
I have a great news for Nokia guys. I deleted all jobs alarm... I mean, I'm not using N78 alarms, and the date issue seem solved !
Unfortunately this is only a workaround, I'm using the alarm of my great N73
I'm an Analyst/Programmer Senior... Nokia, please, check your alarm application that most probably caused too much problem.
Thanks.
//Luca
PS
I found many fault on this SW release; related to the background light, phone keypad lock, keys that seem locked... etc etc... this is the worst update released. -
I set alarms for most calendar events. They work fine if I have the computer turned on when the alarm is scheduled to go off. However, alarms will not show up if they are scheduled to go off when my Mac is not turned on. For example, if I set an alarm for tomorrow to go off at 10am (for an event later in that day), and I start up my computer at 11am, the alarm doesn't show up. I have the "turn off alarms when iCal is not open" box unchecked. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for any help.
The Entourage alarm will show all alarms that were due (or overdue) when I start up my Mac. I'm assuming that iCal should function the same way? Other than this alarm business, I prefer the Mac Mail/iCal/Address Book system, so I would like to continue using them.Not really, as it works for other people. The next thing I would try is to make a new user, log on as that user, make sure that iCal and Scheduler are in the startup items, and create a couple of events with alarms. Shutdown and restart after the alarms should have fired and log in as the new user.
If the alarms fire, the problem is in some setting or file in your normal account. If not, it is something system-wide. Post back anyway. You can get rid of the new user again - some people keep a spare around for tests like this, but I think it is better for such tewsts to be run in a newly-created account.
I will be away for a couple of weeks, likely with no internet access, so I suggest you start a new topic with a summary of everything tried so far. Maybe someone else will spot something.

The alarm clock on my 3110 classic is not working properly.
All works fine if no repeat days are set (or if all days of the week are enabled for repeat).
However if repeat days are set with some days disabled, the alarm does not always function as expected. Sometimes the alarm does not sound on enabled days or it sounds on disabled days (at the set time).
This problem started after the LCD screen was repaired by the local Nokia service agent. They also upgraded the firmware to ver. 6.60 (not sure what it had before).
The security code was set on the phone, but they never asked for it. Can this cause a problem when updating firmware?
I updated to firmware ver. 7.21 RM-237 using the Nokia software updater, but the problem still persists.
Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Well after setting the date several times and rebooting the phone after each, the problem has disappeared!
I suspect that it had something to do with the date not updating when set, but cannot understand why or how this problem solved itself...
Anyway, the phone is working reliable again and my wife is happy to have her phone back. -
My N78 is currently having problems, which only seem to occur when the key lock is on. The problems are:
Alarm doesn't sound
Calls won’t ring
Media player stops when auto key lock happens
As soon as I hit the left shortcut button, the phone comes back to life and all of the above problems go away.
So far I have:
Taken out the battery
Replaced the battery
Updated the firmware
Performed a hard reset (* + Media Button + 3 + Power On)
All that has changed is that before the firmware change, the phone would crash and restart after coming out of key lock.
I can’t think of any event that has happened to the phone at the same time as these problems started.
Anyone have any suggestions (apart from don’t use the key lock )?Provided you have tried all of the mentioned solutions, it seems to be time to try at the Nokiaa Care point
Ericsson T10i -> Nokia 7110 -> Siemens C45, C55, M55, M65 -> Nokia 6131, N73, N82 -> HTC Wildfire, Desire HD -> Nokia Lumia 800 -> HTC Desire X -> Lumia 820 -> Sony Xperia SP -> Lumia 925 + Sennheiser CX 500

Hi all,
I have recently updated my N81(8GB) to the latest firmware version i.e. V 21.0.008 and alongwith other minor issues I am facing a rather annoying problem. The problem is that when I set an alarm and turn off the mobile the Alarm sounds at that particular time but when I choose the option snooze it wont sound after the snooze period is over It'll only sound again when I Switch the mobile on. I just wanted to know whether this is happening with every other person who updated their N81 to this firmware version or is this glitch unique to me. Eagerly waiting for reply as the Alarm functionality is a commonly used feature and it should not go wrong.
Regards,
UmairHi again!

I just got my new nano about two weeks ago, and finally got around to play with it yesterday. I found the alarm and I wanted to try it out. I set it and waited a few minutes. It finally went off, then came up with a screen "You have an alarm" then it showed the date. The options were to dismiss or snooze. I did not need the alarm any more so I chose dismiss. The sound stopped but the screen did not go away. I went back to the main menu to turn off the alarm, but every two seconds it gives me the screen dismiss or snooze. It would not turn off the alarm screen. It's totally frustrating. HELP!
I have the same problem with task added on iCal and synchronized with iTunes.
Since, calendars are read-only, I can't stop the alarm, dismiss or snooze it.
