Nokia N8 Belle Alarm Clock Issue

I was finally able to update my N8 to Nokia Belle a week ago and was reasonably impressed with it's attempt at an Android Froyo kind of thing, it is a step in the right direction. However-
I set a several alarms for between 6:45 and 10am today (I'm a fairly heavy sleeper). I snoozed the first alarm by turning over the phone to give me a few more minutes of sleep. The next thing I know, my sleep is breaking and it's 9:32am! All without a sound from any of my alarms.
I looked at my phone, and saw the box with 'Stop' and 'Snooze' on it, for the 6:45 alarm, as if it had just been activated and was waiting for me to choose either option. I pressed 'Stop' to get rid of the box and suddely similar boxes for all the other alarms started popping up in rapid succession, only then. What happened???
I was willing to wait 6 months past the original release date because I assumed such bugs were being sorted out properly; a smartphone shouldn't still be grappling with Alarm clock bugs - it should have better things to do. I'm hoping there's a quick solution to this problem, as I cannot wait two years for the next update. Please advise!
Also why does shuffle deactivate everytime I return to my song list? Seems silly, really - I don't want to have to keep turning it back on.

First thing First!
AlarmClock: Being Honest! theres no such issues with the Default Alarm app. U might hav done sumthing unusual during sleep or your app had been crashed or it might b buggy or may b sum RAM issues.
Its not a General issue.
I myself is a Heavy sleeper lke You!
I too set 7 Alarms within 6:30 - 10:00 range.
All works fine with my Nokia N8-00 Belle.
MusicPlayer: Yeah! this had been a big problem for Music lovers that when you are Dazzling on SHUFFLE mode & once you clicked on a particular song in a list, the SHUFFLE is de-activate itself.
It might be a problem for Some people, but Logically speaking If you are in A Shuffle mode, u should not interrupt the playlist, if you do it gets deactivate automatically.
Nokia got a point this time

Nokia Lumia 720 Alarm clock not working

My alarm clock is set and activated but it does not go off in the morning. On all my previose Nokia phones this has never been a problem. i turn my pnone off at night.
My previouse Nokia phone was the E7, a great phone. On the keypad you had the option to go up, down left or right to correct any mistakes written etc, on the Lumia720 this feature is absent.
I can not get the email to leave a copy of my mail on the server once retrieved on the phone, POP mail. i need to be able to retrive this on my PC at a later stage, not a problem on the E7.
last but an issue, i can not send a MMS out or an attachment even though i have a 3G signal, if I leave mobile data on then the phone connects to all sort of stuff and runs up the usage, not an issue with the E7

Ok so I will get over the alarm clock issue by carrying a second phone which I normally do as I travel foreign a lot and get a local sim card for the country travelling in. I have been in the habit of turning my phones off at night except when abroad where my home phone is on in case of an emergency at home, I do not appreciate being disturber after work hours by clients. The battery life is a lot longer when the phone is switched off at night even if the phone is in a sleep mode.
I gather I will just have to come to grips with the lack of being able to place the curser wherever I wanted but the feature on a keyboard is good and will be missed.
Now for the issue of my mail being removed from my server when accessing it with my phone, there does not seem to be a feature when setting up a POP3 email account, where you can retrieve Headers only or Msgs and attachments. I need my mail to go to my office PC besides being able read them when on the move. On the older version in the Sync content section when setting up a new account you had the choice.
The mail issue is a problem though.

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.

Belle alarm clock problem

Hi!
I noticed an other problem (or it is not?). I verified this on my nokia 701 and nokia 700 both Belle FP1 updated.
The problem is the alarm clock. IF THERE IS DARKNESS the alarm does not show on the screen and you are not able to turn it off, and you can not even unlock your phone to turn the alarm off. The only way is to have light in the room, and that is not acceptable for me.... the old nokia 5800 had the screen lit and you could turn off the alarm....
Anyone have any solution on this?!? Thanks

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.

Alarm Clock Issues

I created the alarm clock app and it works fine from when I self start up, but it does not auto wake to the time I set in the energy saving options menu. I tried letting it completely shut down and start itself up and just sleeping, but neither would result in it starting and running the app. Are there any minor details I could be missing?

What's wrong with you? Oh, now that you realized you made a mistake and I didn't say "Alarming"? The app tited "Alarmed" is the first thing that pops up if you search the App Store using the search term "Alarmed". It is also the name of the app as it appears on the screen of my phone. Oh, and the developer refers to it as "Alarmed" on his website.It may not have occured to you but, it is possible for more than one app to have the same name. Most of the people here are smart enough to figure out which one is the alarm clock by reading the description. But, we've already covered the reading comprehension thing,

IPhone Alarm Clock issue after iOS4.0 upgrade

This is a strange one;
Upgraded to i0S4.0 couple of days ago, and since then the default alarm clock app has gone haywire. It has duplicated each of my alarms (I must've had about 9 in there fore various things) about 50 times.
If I try and delete them, they disappear but if I exit and then re-enter the app, they're all there again!
Any suggestions?
Cheers.

I'm having the same issue. I had 8 or 9 legitimate alarms set, as well, but now there are somewhere between 1500 and 2000 with a couple hundred duplicates of each one. The number of duplicates is growing, too, but I can't tell if the additions happen each time I sync the phone or each time the clock program is reloaded on the phone. I noticed this first on my 3G after upgrading it, and it is also happening on the iPhone 4 having all my data transferred from a backup made of the 3G running 4.0. I've also noticed that if I try to delete them from my phone, at some point the clock program becomes nearly unresponsive causing even other programs than the clock to crash and requiring the phone to be resynced.
I've seen a couple of people mentioning similar issues in other threads that sound like they could be related or even the same, and they are always talking about upgrades on the same phone. There doesn't seem to be anyone affected who transferred directly from a 3.x device to a new 4.0 device.
While not a solution, here's at least my suggestion of why it's happening. I've poked around a bit in the backup files stored on my laptop from this phone (under ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync), and I've found two different plist files in the same backup storing the alarms in two slightly different formats.
This is purely conjecture, but I would guess what happened is the location & format between 3.x and 4.0 of where the alarm data is stored changed. The "upgrade" isn't a complicated process that mulls over and handles situations like this during the install. It's just a wholesale firmware replacement. Any changes like this would probably need to be handled by the actual programs themselves when they're running on the phone. Something in the upgrade process that's supposed to translate the old format to the new format is broken leaving behind the old data instead of removing it after the conversion, and every so often some trigger in the clock program (like a check for new data after a sync or just the initial loading when the phone restarts) is causing it to see that old 3.1 style data still there, redo the conversion process, and reimport what it finds as another set of duplicates.
That's only a guess, though, and as it's a one-way backup-only folder I can't edit them and resync to see if cutting them out of the data files on the laptop will remove them from the phone. Even if this is wrong, though, I can't imagine how it could be anything too far different from this. That would be a very simple bug to introduce into the code that would be specialized enough to be easy to overlook in testing. Again, that's all just a guess.
While I'm making wild speculations: I'm guessing the problem with the phone needing to be resynced when deleting several alarms is from one of these files on the phone storing the alarm data getting corrupted. If I was a betting man, I'd say this is likely due to corruption making the XML of the plist malformed from different threads writing changes to it simultaneously because it's so huge from all these entries and seeking through the file to update it is taking longer than anyone would reasonably expect and test for or program to protect against. Because, honestly, who thinks while coding something like this, "I need to make sure the user is safe when editing 2000 alarms..."

Nokia N8 Daylight Saving Clock Issue

I have discovered a issue with the clock on my Nokia N8 following the commencement of daylight saving here in Melbourne Australia.
My device is set to "Automatic time update" & yesterday it adjusted the time for daylight saving by 2 hours instead of 1. It is now one hour fast.
I have a feeling there may have something to do the phone confusing UK time for GMT time (UK still in daylight saving time to my knowledge).
Anyone else have this issue?

Mine is working fine, I changed from Brisbane to Melbourne, only moved forward an hour with automatic time update on.
I'm using Belle though, perhaps when you get the Anna update it shall fix it.
For now you might have to just turn the automatic updates off

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

I noticed that this issue happens often during the week-end.

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.

I delete this messages in order to fix this issue.
Please help,
Thanks for your support.

Hi !
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.

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.

Daylight savings/Alarm Clock Issues

Since DST, my iphone3G enjoys waking me up the hour before my alarm is set. Granted this could be worse, it could be the hour after... Anywho, need a fix, because my mental sanity is on the line here, I cannot keep hitting the snooze button for the last hour of my precious sleep!

For me it was an hour after. I was upset because my wife's job called at 4:30 and I get up at 4:45 so I just went about my business until I got downstairs for some coffee and found out that I should have already left for work. I was going to be a half hour late to work and since I work by the hour, there goes half hour pay gone. I rebooted the phone and the time corrected itself but does anyone know whether this will occur again or if this is a one-time occurrence.
I have been waiting for iPhone 5 because I am eligible for upgrade but I here that iPhone 4 also had this issue so not sure which way I will be going.

Nokia N8 Alarm Clock Volume Problem

What is wrong with Nokia N8's alarm clock volume? I can not find anywhere to define the way it alarms (ascending, ringing, ...) and to set the volume.
The default clock has the ringing alarm, but I want to set ascending alarm. Also I need cont down alarm, so I tried couple of third party applications like Handy Clock, Time Machine and Egg Clock Touch. But The problem with all of them is that the alarm volume is too low and there is no where to adjust the volume.
Is there anyway to set ascending for the default clock alarm? Why there is no volume for the clock alarm?
I appreciate your help.

The alarm clock should follow the profile you're using, so if you set a profile to full volume and ascending , that should work, also if you try Nokia situations from beta labs you may be able to get the phone to automatically do what you want it to do !

5G Oddities - Alarm clock and audiobooks

My 5G ipod is a wonderful toy but I've noticed a couple of oddities that I wonder if anyone else has experienced. They both relate to switching away from video playback - i.e. I had been watching a video on the ipod before ...
In both cases the iPod is sat in a powered dock.
1) When watching video & using the sleep timer to turn it off (falling asleep infront of a very small TV) the alarm clock doesn't seem to sound the next morning. When I fall asleep to music it works fine.
2) When navigating away from a video to an audiobook (through the audiobook menu - though not if chosen as a "song" or "album") the audiobook plays back like an old 45 set on 33.
(for you "youngsters" who have never played with vinyl records that means "slowly" ).
Can anyone else reproduce this?
iBook G4, Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thanks, I had searched for the alarm clock issue but only remembered the audiobook one as I was writing it. Unsurprisingly that's the workaround I came up with.
My guess would be that the same problem is affecting the alarm clock operation
so when they fix one they'll probably fix both. In the meantime I should probably just stop falling asleep to video if I want to get woken up by my iPod.
Thanks again.

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.

Mutiple alarm clocks in Nokia X3-02

Hi,
I bought yesterday the Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type. Ater some time "exploring" the device, i'm enjoying what i bought, but there is something missing: the ability to add more than 1 alarm clock. I'm that type of guy that have always 2 alarm clock for diferent times (for the week days) and always have other for weekends!!
Any one knows how can i do this? (or know some app that gives to me the ability to set more than 1 alarm clock??)
Btw, some one also knows any app to find and remove duplicated entries in the phonebook??
Thanks

It should help you. By default, the standard theme is loaded. But you just need to change
one picture (ie the lockscreen), and export the whole thing in nth.file.
Then, just transfer the file in your cellphone, and it should work. At least, it did for me.
Here's a better illustration (see attachment)
