Turn Off Alarm With Secure Screen Lock

Does anyone know if there is a way to dismiss / turn off the alarm without having to secure unlock the phone?
It's very annoying to have to not only unlock the phone (drag the yellow lock up) and then also type in the password to secure unlock the phone before you can dismiss / turn off teh alarm for the day.
In the morning I'm still half asleep and it's painful to stare into the brightly lit phone to be able to type in my password to dismiss the alarm.
Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

I tried various combinations with no success (there is another thread on this same issue). The volume down feature works on my other Sprint phones but not the Pre. I'm assuming it's just not currently possible. I'll be looking for a solution and/or work-around and I'll post back here when/if I find one.

    No. The Wi-Fi auto-shutoff is meant to be a means to conserve battery life.

  • Grey screen with message "turn off computer with power button until switch off then press again power button"

    Dear all,
    I'm very hungry with my iMac and my Time Capsule :
    I try for two weeks to restore my iMac without any success...
    I wait 80 hours to finally have the message again and again : "to restart your computer : turn off computer with power button until switch off then press again power button".
    But my iMac do not work !
    Could you help me?

    Hello, that's a kernel panic...
    http://thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X 10.6 Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • How do i turn off talkback when the screen is locked?

    How Do I Turn Off Talkback When The Screen Is In Locked Mode? It Will Not Allow Me To Get To The Accessibility Icon.....

    Hi
    I’d be happy to help you disable talkback on your Moto E! If you have inadvertently enabled Talkback, you can quickly pause it, and then go back to disable this feature.
    Anywhere on the screen, swipe down then right in a single motion, as if you were drawing an “L”.
    Note: This should work whether the phone is on the lock screen or unlocked.
    You will then see 2 options in the top corners of the screen, select “Pause Feedback”.
    When the Suspend Talkback message appears, double tap “OK”.
    You can now normally go into Settings > Accessibility and disable talkback.
    I hope this helps!

  • 9300 turns off even with full battery

    Hi, I hope somebody can help me... Long story here...
    I bought my 9300 in Istanbul, where I live. I have a Vodafone Turkey simcard and Vodafone Spain simcard. I swithch simcards when I travel, works beautifully, even with email and whatsapp.
    Last year I had an issue whith battery draining in less than 2 hours every morning. After reinstalling software and getting rid of all apps (incl whatsapp) it eventually came back to life and the battery started lasting for 2 days again. I must say I did the upgrade of OS while in Spain (I don't know if it makes a difference...)
    A couple of weeks ago (now I am in Istanbul), same thing happened. It is just that this time the battery doesn't drain, the phone just shuts itself off, normally in the middle of a conversation or trying to send a whatsapp, and with full battery.
    The first few times, taking the battery off and sim and putting it back in did the trick. After a couple of times, however, it is not working anymore. This it what happens:
    BB turns off completely.
    If I try to turn on, it does not even try.
    If I remove battery and simcard, it restarts and is ok in all processes but when it is looking for network signal, it turns off again.
    I remove battery and simcard second time, and it does not go through the software verification, it turns off again.
    After this, the only way to bring it back to life is to plug it in, and then it restarts and with full battery!! I unplug and I can use email for the next 3-4 hours, until some hours later, same problem all again. I carry my charger everywhere!
    I have the latest OS available, and I have got rid of whatsapp, which last year I think it was the beginning of the solving of the problem (whatsapp releases new versions constantly, I think upgrading it did the trick. Or was it just chance?), but it is still not helping so far.
    My husband has the same model, never a problem. We exchanged the batteries, no luck either.
    Any ideas?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    There are many things already posted in this thread...have you yet read and attempted any of them?
    You also may want to attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
    If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    But, if the behavior continues, you may need to consider more drastic actions -- e.g., WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, "bare bones" OS loading, etc.
    Do also keep in mind that, if the problem is at a hardware level, then no amount of self-diagnosis nor internet-distance recommendations will be of any use...only in-hand evaluation by a qualified hardware technician can properly diagnose a hardware problem.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Turn off alarms when Ical not running! Bring it back

    It seems that the option to turn off alarms when Ical not running has been removed. The only option now is to simply turn alarms off (then you forget to turn it back on!). i am a professional speaker and when an alarm rings when I'm using Keynote it knocks keynote off the screen. That is a real pain when you are speaking to 1000 people! Anyone got any ideas. And Apple, please bring it back.

    I sure hope the developers at Apple as well as the management team who can make product impacting decisions are reading this thread - do they realize that this makes the *alarm function unusable by professionals* who do presentations? I was in front of a small group doing a powerpoint tonight and the alarm went off in the middle of it - not a good thing.
    So, I will choose to turn them off completely at this point - it is the only option. And I am not going to manually turn them on and off - that's a ridiculous prospect.
    I can only guess at the reason for removing the earlier functionality of turning off the alarms when the application was closed, but this is absolutely a requirement if alarms are to be functional at all for those of us who do presentations.

  • Turning off alarms for past events

    I use .Mac to sync my iCal calendars among three computers. Two are laptops which are not always on and one is a Mini which is always on. I use alarms for most of my events and the Mini sends out these alarms just fine. The problem is that when I open iCal on one of the laptops, it sends out a bunch of alarms for past events.
    I have the "Turn off alarms when iCal is not open" box checked on both my laptops. And the iCal scheduler (can't find the exact name) is not running on the laptops and is not in my login apps list.
    What I want is to able to continue to sync iCal but not have the laptops send out alarms. I don't want to delete events after they have past because I like to see past events in the calendar.
    Is it possible to continue to sync via .Mac but turn off all alarms on the laptops? Or is it possible to delete the alarm associated with an event after the event is past? This would not work 100% of the time since I could open iCal on the laptop before the latest sync occurred and the alarm would still be there but it would cut down on the number of old alarm events. This may require an AppleScript and I am totally ignorant about coding AppleScript.
    Thanks.

  • When I turn off the printer my computer locks up. HP Desktop.Photosmart D7360, Windows 7

    When I turn off my printer the computer locks up.  HP Desktop computer.  Windows 7.  Photosmart D7360.
    I have reinstalled the drivers.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Have you tried a different usb cable? It could be that the usb cable is grounding out which could be a short in the usb cable, or the port on the printer. Although it is also possible that it is the USB controller on your computer's motherboard so if trying a different cable doesn't fix it try it with another computer if at all possible. If the other computer doesn't have any problems then it is the HP desktop. At that point you're out of my realm of expertise friend . (In other words if this doesn't work, try your luck on the desktop forums or by calling 1-800-474-6836)
    Hope this helps!

    Some folks have discovered that changing their DNS service fixes FaceTime connection issues.
    The ideal way is to configure your modem/router with DNS service, but often settings in System Preferences/Network/Advanced/DNS on your Mac will override the router settings. Try either of these;
    OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220

  • How to turn off alarms when iCal is not running

    iCal-Version 4.0.4 (1395)
    Imagine giving a lecture supported by powerpoint in front of an audience, all applications turned off except of powerpoint, and suddenly popping up the iCal alarm message "meet her (xy) in the pub". How can I turn off alarms when iCal is NOT running?
    cheers
    knatterton

    Hey!  I was DJ'ing and an iCal alarm went off even though I'd selected to have alarms not go off when iCal is not running.  Now that option isn't there anymore!  Can I revert to the previous version of iCal?  I don;t see any other new features that are worth not having interruptions during DJ'ing and presentations!  I know that if I turn off all alarms, I will forget.  I'd create an alarm to remind me to turn it back on, but...  This is REALLY annoying.

  • Can't turn off "dial from home screen"

    I want to allocate shortcut keys to apps. All of the info I've seen says that you have to turn off "dial from home screen" by clicking on the "phone" icon, then clicking on the "menu" icon, then selecting the "General options" item. Trouble is, I don't have a "General options" item - can anyone help me?

    I'm in the same boat. I miss my old bb. 9310 does not have this option....
