Alarm's SNOOZE not working!!

[Alexandr3]

Thanks for that. I didn't know there was a feedback possibility to share some thoughts on the iPhone. Very good!

I don't have this problem, but maybe I avoided it by paying a buck for "The Alarm Clock" by Kirk Andrews.

This app has a great snooze feature: adjustable amount of time AND most important to me - full screen snooze button. Tap anywhere on the screen and it will snooze. My eyes aren't open enough in the morning to be able to hit that tiny snooze button.

You can use the power button to snooze, if using the standard clock app for an alarm. That's what I use.

Thanks. But is this one, an aplication that needs to be running to work?
I really can't understand the point of keeping multitasking out on a smartphone... I miss Nokia on that...

But that would probably drain my battery even faster too, so..

Yes, it does need to be running. It will work if you put it into sleep mode though, but it will still use about 20% of the battery if it's in sleep mode and not plugged in.

I too really miss this ability for simple background apps. Even my Treos which didn't do multi-tasking would support alarm apps in the background.

I guess he's working on it. He just finished a revision this weekend :

UPDATE VERSION 1.6

Another user requested feature - power monitoring. The application will sound an alert if the device is unplugged and the battery level falls below a user defined threshold.

But it still has the major issue :

PLEASE NOTE

Like all third party alarm clock applications, this program must be running for an alarm to go off. If you stop the application the alarm will not ring.

I haven't seen anyone mention this but have you tried rebooting your iPhone? I know some people have all kind of issues that I don't and they never reboot their iPhones. I reboot mine everyday, just in case, and it's been functioning as smoothly as can be.

Hello. I know this thread hasn't been active for a while, but anyway...

I believe I have the same issue as supershick. It seems to me that after snoozing, it doesn't always take 10min to ring again. I've seen as much as 40min.

You might think I'm not completely sure, as it's pretty hard for an alarm clock to wake me up after I get used to it, but this never happened with my old N-Gage (my previous phone O.O).

I always set the same alarm to 6am thinking I should be up by 7
And, I've never used anything else to snooze since I found I can just grab my phone and push any volume button (so easy with your eyes closed .

oh my god i have the same issue, thought it was just me.. damn thing goes off for 20mins when i have turned off alarm grrrrrrrr

[hytricr]

Oh, I'm too. I always have the iPhone wake me up, but it's usually in it's dock and my desk beside my bed.
