8am alarm, a no show
 
so i use my phone as an alarm religiously. i use it during the week to wake up for work, and then on the weekends just to get my butt outa bed. well, on the weekends i set my alarm for 8am. yesterday, i ended up waking up at 9ish....and i was confused why my alarm didn't go off. i thought maybe i had dismissed it with out remembering. well today i woke up naturally at 7:50. so i waited to see if my 8am alarm would go off...and nope it didn't. changed it to 8:05am and it went off, wtf?

anyone else experience this? i thought i was crazy at first but two days in a row now. not sure if its just a weekend thing, so i will try it tomorrow as well when i am at work, but just seeing if anyone else has thought they were crazy by missing an alarm

Used mine Fri and Sat and it worked fine. All my appointment settings have worked also. Go off at 10 till the hour and again on the hour.

ya i havn't had any problems with it yet, hopefully it was a one time thing. i'd maybe try downloading a different alarm off the market.

hmmm, yeah i mean every other time i have set it to has gone off. just not 8:00am. well i am gonna try it tomorrow (don't know if its just the weekends or not), but could some one else try it out too? just set it for 8:00am tomorrow, if its not an inconvenience, and report back to here. if it doesn't go off again tomorrow and it does for other people then i may just hard reset. i meant to do that any way when i got the phone but i got too caught up in its amazingness to remember, haha. thanks in advance...

yeah, this morning when it didn't go off i was awake for it, so i changed it to 8:05 after it missed, and then it went off. wth is goin on. i guess sense ui doesn't like top of the hour times, haha. i origianlly thought it had something to do with my task killer, maybe killing the alarm task. but then it wouldn't have gone off at all if that were the case...so i am confused....

wow, i am starting to wonder if i can trust this to wake me up for work, haha. may have to go pick up an actual alarm clock.

maybe we should test it at X:30 and X:35, and see if it does it then too. maybe its just around the top of the hour? maybe not? how odd, how odd
