Mine didn't. I've tested it loads of times, with no luck!

my mate just told me about this on his 3GS and wifi's iPhone4
it strikes me as the kind of thing that should have been tested.... apparently it will fix itself on janurary 3rd (on a cheery note i am looking forward to hearing Vallhund explain why this is not a problem, only affects a small number of people, you shouldn't be using your phone as an alarm, the fault lies with NTP not apple etc.) |

I never use the alarm on my 3GS. I don't particuloarly like the phone for a number of reasons. One being that the alarm clock is hopeless! My Nokia phone does a lovely job of waking me up!

It's an unbelievably stupid bug which should have been caught in testing. Seems it effects all iOS devices.
Mind you not even Big Ben would have raised me from the dead this morning

Apple don't have bugs and when they they affect so few people it doesn't matter anyway. Who the he'll uses their phone as an alarm?

Or that we're all "haters". I would imagine my Nexus One would have no trouble waking me up. I do know that my £15 Sony alarm clock can, and it can set its own time properly. Both of these the £500 "changes everything, again" iPhone cannot do. |

Are people really busting their balls trying to make an issue out of this? Including people who don't own the phone?
![]() I thought this was a light hearted thread that a mobile telephone failed to set of an alarm one day out of the year. I should have known. . . .it's an Apple product so it's equalled to a giant spaceship coming down and ripping out our organs via our throats. ![]() Looks like 2011 on DS is going to be very similar to 2010. |

You do know that this has happened before, that millions of people rely on their phones for their alarm and that alarms are important. It's something simple that a £10 Casio could have done in the 1980's but that Apple somehow seem to have big issues with, and it's not the first time. A dropped call pales in to insignificance with being let down by the device and being late for work / appointments, and for it not to be the first time and Apple knowing about it too. |

I wonder if they'll ever wake up

They'll look and see they set their alarm and realise it didn't go off and make alternate plans, that is if people who need these New Years Day early morning briefings (the heads of massive organisations I assume) don't use a dedicated alarm clock / radio in the mornings.
I have an iPhone 3GS. . . I'm surprised I got up today. |

A 1980s £10 Casio can do it, why can't Apple even get a simple alarm clock to work without bugs? and this has been known about as it's happened multiple times before. Will you just defend Apple to the death on any matter just for the sake of it? - yes. |

right so what if they don't and they don't and they are already in trouble for being late for work and through no fault of their own they are late.

If my alarm device (not that I use my iPhone as my alarm) failed to work - I'd have a back up set up to avoid further mistakes. It's a small error - you talking about missing planes, important meetings etc just continues to hilariously demonstrate the hyperbole that surrounds Apple devices. If you have a plane, important meeting to catch - you don't have one single alarm - a phone - waking you up. |
