Help Alarm issue

Hi,

the last week the Alarm is not working at all. Basically my wife wakes up and as soon as i click the power of the phone to see the time it starts playing! Its like 15-25 min after the alarm time.

It seems that it was in standby mode, and had to be waken up to start playing.

I dont have any task killer - when i had before, i think i didnt have any issues...

Any recommendations?
 
Glad to hear someone else has the same problem.

Mine is doing the exact same thing too.

Im on OS 2.1 and if i set an alarm and my phone is NOT asleep then it will play but if the screen is dark then the alarm wont sound until i hit the power button and then the alarm starts to sound (whether its 2mins after it should have gone off or an hour later).

I do have a task killer app running but i have added the Alarm into the ignore list so it is always running so that cant be it unless there are dependant services that get shutdown that the Alarm service needs.

Any help would be really appreciated guys.

Cheers
 
Thanks for the link,

so we are not alone :)

But i dont understand how to fix it :)

basically i dont understand : boot to the ADBRecovery and in the ADB shell use:
 
I suggest you use the second method:

Method 2 - via RSD Lite
Download the custom SBF containing only the boot.img here: boot_img_from_SHOLS_U2_03.10.0.zip
(here is the link to RSD Lite 4.6)
Boot to Bootloader (D-pad up + power) and flash the SBF using RSD Lite.

It is a known bug. This is the official discussion in the Motorola forum:
AlarmManager: ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP & RTC_WAKEUP won't wake up Milestone (system 2.1) - MOTODEV Discussion Boards

Apparently, no official fix exists yet :mad:

Motorola, hurry up and fix this!
 
does anyone know a link that is working to correct this, as the link seems not to be working anymore.
Can i find somewhere else a solution?

thanks

And can i ask you how did you manage to install it. Because as far as i know its only available in Greece.
Can you provide any download link?

Go to Handset updates from Utilities in 'Motorola Media Link'. It is just simply updating the handset and it solved my problem. Hope it helps.
