The stock alarm clock exhibits this same behavior on 1276?

I will check and get back to you.
It was mentioned earlier that maybe the code the program was using to wake the device was different but i guess i would like to think that all wake ups should work if working the way it should.

I'd hope so as well, but you can't ever trust 3rd party apps. They can employ whatever method they see fit, which may not be standards-based. If the built-in alarm clock works, I'd say there's an issue with the app.

only tested once but it appears the standard alarm clock works.
Its a bum deal i really like the app, Although i have found a work around for it.

I know if you use wifitether the phone will stay awake, another is gps status. maybe just try finding an app that keeps the screen awake?

If you prevent the phone from sleeping, the battery definitely will not last all night long (8 hours). If you want to go this route, you'll need to keep the phone plugged into a charger. If you're going to do that anyway, you can just go into Development Options in Settings and check the box to disable sleep when plugged in.

I found a program that works for me. It was mentioned earlier in the thread by someone. "Screen On" It works for what i need however i cant lock the screen. So if someone also knows of a screen locking solution that i can still see the program. I use it as a timer that would be sweet!

PS i dont care about battery, i only use it in this fashion for an hour at a time.

Also i use "Screen On" for my music player so when i am using my BT in my car the screen just stays on.
Pretty slick.
