Samsung Galaxy S :: Alarm Canceled But Still Goes Off At Set Time

Nov 12, 2010

I've experienced the following problems in 2.1 and had hoped that it would be rectified in 2.2. FYI I'm using a UK unbranded SIM free SGS and the stock alarm with the smart alarm feature turned on. When I set the alarm for the morning and then cancel it later on (e.g. I wake up naturally an hour before the alarm) I find that despite canceling it the alarm still goes off at the initially set time.

First of all, I was simply unchecking the green alarm symbol in the "clock" application. Then as this was failing to cancel it, I would long press the set alarm time until the option delete would appear and completely deleting the time altogether, yet the alarm still goes off. I have also noticed in 2.2 that the alarm date does not seem to be as intuitive as it was before. Previously I recall setting the alarm the night before by scrolling the time forward past midnight to the morning and the day would follow suit.

However, a couple of time that I have used the alarm the alarm has tried to enable itself for the same day as being set. However, as the clock is being scrolled forward this would often show as time to alarm 6+ days and hours. Don't recall seeing that on 2.1? Finally, is there a dedicated place where more smart alarms can be downloaded and incorporated into the smart alarm feature? I know of Zedge, White Noise and others but most are not true smart alarm sounds. Often just screen shots or clips of noises, which do not segway nicely into the start of the alarm loop when the track has completed.

Samsung Galaxy S :: Alarm Won't Work (Time Stops Updating When Phone Sleeps)

Jul 21, 2010

I'm not sure if this is an android problem, or a samsung i9000 problem, but either way it's an annoying problem that I'd love to find a solution for ?_? I simply cant get the alarm to work for me (overnight. it's fine in the very short term). It appears to be because the clock stops moving/updating when the phone goes to sleep, because when I turn the screen back on I can see that the time is off by multiple hours, depending upon when it stopped updating, and stays that way for a couple of seconds before changing to the correct time.

Things to note here..
I do NOT use a task killer
The alarm volume is up

I have tried the alarm both with and without the Automatic, network provided time setting. The clock still stops moving. I've not updated anything from the standard (UK) firmware

Android :: Alarm Is Canceled If App Is Stopped

Oct 12, 2009

I have an app that does some polling every 2 hours. I set a repeating alarm that starts a service but I have noticed that if I use some task manager (e.g. TasKiller) to kill my app then the polling will not be performed from that moment on. I know this because I store the time of the last poll, I have also checked the server logs and there are no requests received from the client after I force close my app. Is this the way alarms work or should I look somewhere else for a crash or smth? because if alarms really get canceled then how should we implement the polling?

I'm also interested in what happens with a running service if it gets killed from another app (I assume all task managers are using ActivityManager.restartPackage() to kill other apps), does it get restarted?

Android :: Alarm Manager Broadcasts Canceled When Application Killed?

May 15, 2010

I have two BroadcastReceiver registered. When the app is closed they both fire at the appropriate times and do the appropriate things. If the app is closed then killed (say with an AppKiller), the receivers never receive their broadcasts, and nothing happens. Presumably the same thing happens if the parent app is killed due to low memory, so how do I ensure those broadcasts are fired/received. The API states that even if the app is killed it should fire, does anyone else have experience with this situation? If it helps my manifest is:

<!-- receivers for AlarmManager -->
<receiver android:exported="true" android:label="Shift roster updating calendar."
android:name="com.skooter.shiftroster.backend.service.UpdateCalendar" >
</receiver> <receiver android:exported="true" android:label="Shift roster checking alarm."
android:name="com.skooter.shiftroster.backend.service.SetWakeup" >
</receiver>
and nothing esoteric is going on in the AlarmManager/BroadcastReceivers

Samsung Galaxy S :: Cannot Create Alarm / Way To Do

Oct 24, 2010

I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue.

The problem is that I cannot create an alarm. There simply isn't any option to do so when pressing the edit key.
For the last week I've had my phone in 'flight mode' and since switching this off I've found the option to create a new alarm is gone. All my previous alarms are still there and the option to delete them is there via the edit key.

Any ideas, or am I having a brain fart and simply missed the obvious?

Samsung Galaxy S :: Outlook Meetings Alarm?

Jun 28, 2010

Seems that I have a problem with some meeting reminders. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

I synchronized my Outlook calendars with my Gmail calendar, then I sync my gmail calendar to my Galaxy S. It all worked fine.

My problem is that if I compare my galaxy S to previous phones i owned, there is a difference that bothers me:

On my previous phones, there was a reminder about 15 minutes before the meeting starts (this is defined through Outlook). The reminder used to popup on the screens of my previous phones, with a ringtone that would play for 15 seconds (more or less), then stop, and then replay every 5 minutes (I believe) until I took actions for this reminder.

On my GS, there is a very brief tone 15 minutes before the meeting, and there is no popup reminder on the main screen, only in the notification area. Haven't tried yet the snooze feature on the GS, but the main thing is that I would like to have a longer alert AND a notification on the screen, notification that should be visible until I decide to dismiss it or snooze it.

Samsung Galaxy S :: Download Unsuccessful - Every Time Try To Get An App

Oct 24, 2010

I'm having problems with the app store, and it seems to be a little different to the ones already listed here. I'm hoping it's a problem with the Android app store or something...

Anyway, I'm just getting "download unsuccessful" every time I try to get an app.

The main bit of advice is to clear the caches, or delete the data, from a few things. I've done this, except for "Google Apps", because the delete data button isn't there.

I've also had it suggested that it's changing from one sort of google account to another. I've had gmail for years and years (since the early days of its beta) and have never changed it, or any settings related to it.

Samsung Galaxy S :: Can't Get 3G Data And Bluetooth Audio At Same Time

Jul 7, 2010

Just taken delivery of a UK edition Samsung Galaxy S. Connecting it to my car audio via bluetooth no problems but it drops the 3G/H network connection as soon as it connects to the car. Disconnect the Bluetooth and I get the data connection back. Is this deliberate or a bug? It means I can't receive emails etc whilst in my car unless I turn off Bluetooth.

How To Repeat Alarm For Between 1 To 60 Days At A Particular Time

Sep 15, 2011

I have to repeat alarm for between 1 day to 60 days. For example, the user can be able to repeat alarm after every 5 days, 10 days or 60 days (maximum).

Option1 ( Implemented Code

alarmmanager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()+ (durationInDays * 24 * 3600 * 1000), (durationInDays * 24 * 3600 * 1000), pIntent);

Note: But it is working fine but it supports maximum 10 days(appx) repeating only after that "(durationInDays * 24 * 3600 * 1000)" it goes into -ve value so, I am unable to set maximum 60 days alarm repeatedly. AlarmManager class only supports a long value for choosing the interval between the execution of the pending intent.

Is there any other option to set repeat alarm for the no of days ?

Option 2 ( Implemented Code:

Date futureDate = new Date(new Date().getTime() + (86400000 * durationInDays));
Date dateInterval = new Date(86400000 * durationInDays);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, futureDate.getTime(), dateInterval.getTime(), pendingIntent);

Note: We set repeating alarm maximum every 24 days but when i give (durationInDays = 25; // in Days) then it takes -ve values.

Can I set repeating alarm with Calender?

Samsung Galaxy S :: Phone Lagging / Takes Time To Access App - Returning To Home Page

Aug 4, 2010

I have now been using the samsung galaxy for a week now and there is only one factor that is letting down the phone for me and thats the lagging. I have no complaints about the camera even though its without the flash, the internet speed is top notch and the innovative swype makes life so much easier. However what irritates me is the time it takes to access an app or returning to the home page. It must take 30 seconds or more before the screen is loaded which is annoying when you want to do something in a hurry. This also occurs when someone is ringing me and I'm trying to answer, the phone freezes for 10 seconds. I,ve only downloaded around 10 apps so surely that cannot be the problem. I've got a week left before I have to come to a decision whether or not to keep the phone or return it back to vodafone and would like some advice or reassurance about this problem. Also out of interest I would like to know if anyone has encountered the same problem on the iphone 4. The one area in which the galaxy beats the iphone 4 is the price considering what you get with both however it may be worth it to use a phone that dosent lag.

If I open Google Calendar on a PC, I know how to set default notifications on a per calendar basis, but cannot figure out how to do it within this Calendar app.

Android :: Set Alarm To Fire Properly At Fixed Time?

Jun 7, 2010

Calendar c = new GregorianCalendar();
c.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 1);
c.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 23);
c.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 22);
c.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
c.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);

// We want the alarm to go off 30 seconds from now.
long firstTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
firstTime += 30*1000;
long a=c.getTimeInMillis();

// Schedule the alarm!
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)ctx.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
c.getTimeInMillis(), 1*60*60*1000, sender);


It is not executed at 23:22h. What I am doing wrong? I noticed firstTime and c.getTimeInMillis() differs a lot in size and length. When I use firstTime, so when set to 30 seconds, the alarm is executed well.
