iPhone alarm
Hi guys,
Dont know if anyone else if having this trouble so i thought i'd ask. I've got an Iphone 4 with auto time change on it.. Obviously the clocks went forward at the weekend and it changed itself. Not a problem. Monday morning i didn't get up for work and though i must have just snoozed it but then Tuesday the 6am alarm went of at 5am. so i cleared all alarms and set them up again with a test one to go off at 10 last night and at 10 last night it worked. The this morning 5am again instead of 6.. I thought it may have been me going slightly crazy so told the other half and strangly his iPhone 3gs has done the same thing this morning.. Are we both nutty or is there a problem? ![]() Thanks |

I have two alarms set on my iPhone 4, one goes off at 6am, the second goes off at 7am. Have them set to go off every weekday at the same time. iPhone is set to auto update the time and the alarms both went off at the right time last week and both have gone off at the right time this week.
So before anyone blames the software mine is working as it should. |

iPhones are plagued with alarm and general clock functions.
You really shouldn't rely on it to wake you up , it's been very unreliable ever since the iPhone first came out. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-New-Year.html http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Tec...15878205?f=rss |

I do blame the software, it should work in all situations not just for the chosen ones.

My non-recurring alarms (on a 3GS running 4.3.1) have worked fine. I set it every night and it's gone off without a problem. (I did set another alarm clock on Sunday morning though, just in case.)
The BBC article suggests that calendar alerts are the ones going wrong. Definitely should have been fixed by now though. |

I set my alarm to go off at lunchtime today and it did, so my recurring alarm works and my normal alarm works.
Everyone else must be doing it wrong

It makes me laugh how every other phone out there seems perfectly able to cope with time zone or daylight savings time changes but yet Apple still haven't got this right. Don't get me wrong, i have an ipad and ipod touch and think they're great devices, but this is something which should be sorted by now.

I set both a recurring and one-off alarm for the same time on Monday (as well as an external alarm) and they all went off. Picnic?

should we blame the Op then? and the millions of other people who are also affected?
I have an iPhone 4, I use the alarm on it every day, I set both recurring and random alarms to go off at different times of the day depending on my schedule. Last week before the clocks went back my alarms operated as normal, this week with the clocks now an hour earlier my alarms STILL work fine. If it was a simple software glitch then Apple would have fixed it by now, which proves that it is much more complex than this with many variables. |

Haha! Apple are notorious for keeping quiet about bugs. Fact is, this is the 3rd time this has happened and it still hasn't been sorted.
