Alarm in TF3D not user friendly - Page 2

mwrob · #11 (**permalink**) 12-08-2008, 11:46 AM

I have been having a terrible time with the alarm. Very often, when I press the status bar at the top of the screen, I still don't get an icon/button to turn the phone off. I even go into the alarm program and uncheck the alarm and it still keeps ringing. It is very annoying.

I use g-alarm it works for me.
You can set any alarm clock that you use to TF3D clock so when u click on clock it takes u the alarm application of your choice.

nice... i'd been wondering why the alarms weren't more user friendly. thanks!

EDIT: opps, thanks I missed that and didnt realize it was under "Reminders", I was looking for "Alarm" or "Clock"

On my Touch Pro, the alarm/alert notifcation keeps getting disabled, as well as my text messaging alert.

By default, all 6 of my Touch Pros have come with text pop-up disabled, and they all seem to revert back to that setting eventually... It's so bizarre.

I found that I can press the end call button, and it will stop my alarm from going off. Then I can try to press that icon when I can see better after just waking....

Has anyone else noticed that when they wake up, their clock is off by several hours? Then it eventually updates. (The task bar clock is accurate.)

I've noticed that with just leaving it i my pocket and without checking my phone. When I finally do the time is off by a couple of hours (i guess it depends on when i last checked it) and then it will refresh the time.

i've got s2u2 running

G-alarm is great. If it wasn't working for some of you guys before, try it now - ageye has been working hard to fix bugs that showed up on some people's devices. He's still working at it, so he can ultimate launch v1.0 with new features. It was always working well with my phone until the some of the recent releases, but he fixed the bugs that were appearing for me so i'm happy.
He also recently added a math quiz as an option... you have to correctly calculate as many math questions as you set in the settings before being able to shut the alarm off... great for deep sleepers. And for those that don't know.. it's finger friendly, has snooze, choices of many alarms, and replaces the tf3d homescreen and s2u2 alarm info.
