Wtf! The iPhone's alarm sucks

[seungki]

Hey guys,
I'm not happy with the iphone's alarm clock & timer

I don't know what I do at night, but 1 of 4 things happens with the alarm

1) It does not ring at desired time, but rings when I unlock the phone from sleep which is about 4 hours later...?
2) It rings about 40 minutes later than desired time
3) It rings the next day
4) Sometimes when I combine it with multiple alarms that are maybe 1 hour apart, they won't ring and all clog up until I unlock my phone from sleep then they all just hit me at once (and again this will be about 4 hours later than I wanted it to be)

Any help, comments?

Thanks

I dunno, try restoring the phone. Is your system clock set correctly?

I have used mine as my only alarm for over a year without fault. I love it cause I can so easily set many different alarms.

Sorry, through every firmware version I've never seen or heard of it doing that. So the only thing I can think of that may help is a restore.

^^Had one of those when I was like 8 years old.

Funny thing, it "broke" when it decided to "wake" my dad one morning.

Ended up against the wall.

Might be the wrong time maybe, try setting up the right time and the right GMT and everything. I cant think of any other solution apart from that, sorry.

Since I live with 5 cats I can appreciate the Simon' cat video, but my kitties have impeccable manners, they sit and stare until a human wakes up. Now ifonly my dog could learn this trick. She sees movement and will start pestering us.

Oh the iPhone alarm us fine, I use as my backup since I often don't hear the tv come on. I hate buzzers sofir years used the tv timer but the iPhones default Marimba is not nerve jarring and effective as an alarm. Justmake sure you have the volume up.
