My Alarm Clock didn't work this morning...

[Night Train]

Set the alarm function on my Incredible to go off at 6:15. Checked all the settings before going to sleep last night and it didn't work this morning. Luckily the wife woke me up in time to make it to work on-time. When I checked the settings, everything was as it should be. Time set, green check-mark on, everything.

I made sure that my app-killer did not shut down the clock function.

Anybody have a similar experience? What may have caused it to not work?

Mine didn't go off this morning either, good thing I had my old phone next to it and that alarm went off. I thought it was because I used the app killer before I went to bed, but maybe I didn't after all. Hmm...

If you turn off your phone the alarm clock will not work. The Inc works the same way the Nexus One does. You need to leave the phone turned on and let the screen go blank on it's own.

1. Disable app killer.
2. Turn phone all the way up (volume).
3. Turn off cell, GPS, etc.
4. Set your alarm.
5. Go to sleep!

Are you saying - don't put it to sleep - just let it do so on its own?

I also thought it was the app killer, and made sure to make the app killer ignore the clock, and it went off this morning - however, I also didn't manually put it to sleep last night either.

The people with probs running a task killer?????

The only my alarm clock hasn't worked was when I used Advanced Task Killer and didn't know that if you kill the clock than you also kill the alarm clock. I unchecked the clock and it rang just fine with no problems.

mine did this the other day too. worked the first day and not the second i went and downloaded the free app called wake up and first day came on perfectly i set it tomorrow too so we will see if it worked again

 

[markhunsaker]

What does the app do?

It's the app killer...those things cause more problems than they are worth.

 

[bubbabeatz]

What does the app do?

Anytime you see something about an app and don't want to look it up through the market on the phone check out Find great Android apps and games - AppBrain

Here is the "wake up" app with a description and reviews. Just a hint

If any of you have Advanced Task Killer, set Clock to Ignore

 

[sum spicy rice]

task killers are pointless. dunno why people still download them.

 

[markhunsaker]

My alarm went off so loud this morning it scared me awake...don't you hate that? I removed my app killer to see if it even helped with battery life.

If any of you have Advanced Task Killer, set Clock to Ignore

Sometimes that doesnt work...task killers just muck everything up.
