HTC Hero Alarm Clock Not Going Off

If your like me you may have been late to work because of your HTC Hero alarm not going off, basically my HTC Hero alarm would go off but not make any noise, to fix this go to your settings for the alarm then select alarm sound and go to the selection menu.
Whilst in the selection menu press the volume controls on the side and turn it up to the loudest.

Thanks, i had the same problem
fortunately i woke up by my self, so i wasn’t late at wokr
Thank you! That’s a real usability trap.
Thank u!!!!
The most evil, lowly and irritating bug. It knows how to show me the way home, communicates with sattelites, does all this fancy stuff but FAILS TO WAKE ME UP. seriously weak.
Thanks for the tip.
I was slightly confused, lucky the vibrate woke me this morning.
Have the same problem but my sound IS turned up. It sounds the alarm sometimes, but not always. No clue what is wrong.
Something “as simple” as setting the alarm clock, has proven to be not as simple ….lol Thanks for the help!!
Thanks, problem solved, I had the same problem and I was getting fustrated!
I’ve also read on other reports that killing the clock task also stops the alarm from going off.

Thank you so much, have just sorted my alarm. Boss wasn’t too annoyed with me coming in late today, mainly because it’s my last week!
Thanks!! You made that super easy! I could figure out why I kept “sleeping” thru my alarms : )
On the second instance I knew something was up, yeah thanks for the write up HTC..!!! Going to get an old fashioned alarm clock for back up sheesh
My HTC touch3G has a very weird bug.
Alarm is set for M,T,W,Th,F at 6:00am.
M,T it goes off. W,Th it doesnt. F it does.
I have had to set a 2nd alarm at 6:01 for all 5 days (which mysteriously DOES work).
Its madness – and seriously annoying. I have been late twice when it just doesnt go off.
I was blaming windows-mobile and getting annoyed that such basis functionality was so seriously bugged.
I’m having the same issue from 2 weeks. Whats happening is the alarm doesn’t go off on its time, but after the alarm trigger time is passed if I press a button to activate screen it immediately sets off. Looks like alarm trigger time is attached to HTC widget time instead of systems internal time.
Fantastic guys. was totally gutted that my HTC Tatoo woukld not wake me up in the mornings. Glad that you folks had found and shared a fix. Thank you!!
Wow! Great, thank you very much. Hopefully I’ll now manage not to be late.
