Hi everybody... A proud owner of Samsung Galaxy (Cupcake).
Anyway, lately I've been having problems with the default Alarm Clock application. The problem is pretty well described here:
[android-developers] Re: exit button - or not?: msg#01534 AndroidDevelopers
Anyway, what happens is that Android acts as a task manager when memory gets tight. I've disabled my Advanced Task Manager to test this behaviour. When I start loading apps (Gmail, Browser, Camera...) and then check the task manager, I see these new apps have eaten up my memory and as a result, OS has killed my "Alarm Clock". This is quite disturbing since I always used my mobile as an alarm clock and I really like Android's alarm clock. And I don't want to be forced to check if my Alarm Clock process is running everytime I go to sleep.
I haven't tried reseting the phone yet because of my apps and setting. I think I'll use My Backup Pro and save the settings and apps and then try reseting. But I've already reset my phone after a firmware upgrade.
Any ideas how to fix this issue. I though about using a different alarm app, but the default integrates with Weather Widget (tap on the clock opens the alarm clock settings).
P.S. I checked the log and here's the important part about alarm clock:
