Alarm in TF3D not user friendly
 

Is anyone else frustrated with the way you have to turn off the alarm when you set it in clock/alarms? I don't get the notice at the bottom of the screen anymore instead I have to click a small alarm bell in top menu wich opens a window that lets me turn off the alarm. Did I miss something or is there a fix, this really irritates me.

Not only that, but I have two alarms set the same way, just different times. One alarms continuously like it should, while the other just alarms for about 2 seconds and stops. The same settings, same alert sound. Starting to piss me off. I tried G-Alarm before, but that didn't work like it was supposed to either.

I use SPB Time, that gives me a big basically full screen popup to turn off the alarm.

By the way, G-Alarm didn't work right for me either......

same issue here with the alarm. Its quite annoying especially when your droggy from sleeping. Trying to finger that little icon on top... Jesh. Woke my wife and baby up this morning trying to turn the damn thing off.

You should be able to hit any key or button to turn the stupid alarm off IMO. Like most phones.

Make sure that you have Display message on screen set for Reminders in the device Sounds & Notification settings.

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

I definitely feel the same as you guys. I'm not pleased with the alarm at all in the TP. I've since switched to the G-Alarm with the old_default skin and I'm o.k. with that.

I'd like to know if there's way to hack the registry into doing the following, so we don't need to run a 3rd party Alarm program (this isn't real, it was done it photoshop):

I'm no hacker, but I'm willing to learn if someone can tell me if this little app is even possible. Sorry about the size of the picts, I'll shrink them as soon as I get home.

that's so odd g-alarm doesn't work for you guys. It works great for me. I know it starts up with the system in the startup folder, and I also set it to NOT do the maze for snooze. I've got two alarms, mon-fri alarm, and sat and sun alarm.

What exactly doesn't work? Does it not play the alarm sound? Does it not pop up?

Re: Alarm in TF3D not user friendly
 

I actually like G-Alarm, a lot.
I came up with the tweak idea before I discovered G-Alarm. But once I saw this post, I decided to go ahead and post my idea in case someone wanted to run with it.

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.

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

Re: Alarm in TF3D not user friendly
 

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.

Re: Alarm in TF3D not user friendly
 

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....

Re: Alarm in TF3D not user friendly
 

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.)

Re: Alarm in TF3D not user friendly
 

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.
