Is there an alarm clock app that DOES NOT turn off automatically

The standard alarm clock for 2.1 turns itself off after two minutes. Is there an app for one that doesn't turn itself off until you tell it to? A missed alarm at 3 am has me a bit cheesed. Thanks in advance
 
It shouldnt turn off at all. Alarm clocks are designed to work. Turn off your task killer and it wont stop. Actually, stop using the task killer all together.
 
Thanks, but it turnsitself off after two minutes, its even in the settings, ad I cannot extend it past two minutes....anyone else?
 
A wife and 2 kids always works well for me! :D

In all seriousness though, the alarm on my Xperia X10 2.1 never stops. I was outside in the backyard for about 10 minutes once and I could hear it chirping away for the whole duration.
 
Maybe you should try Alarm Clock Plus v2.

Set it up so you have to answer a math question to snooze.

I am amazed at how something as simple as solving a double digit addition problem unfogs my mind.

Additionally, I have Rings Extended installed, so that I can use any FULL song to wake me up. I use American Woman as my wake up song since that's the only song I have that starts out loud.
 
Switched back to xtrROM (2.1 ROM for Eris that uses stock 2.1 features instead of Sense) just to test this.

I'm not seeing it cut out after two minutes. Running on minute 8 and it's still looping my alarm song. There's gotta be something interfering with it.

Edit: Nm just read that it was in your settings, xtrROM must have something different then.
 
i have this same problem. my alarm sound will play 7-8 times and then stop looping. i have a samsung galaxy s (sch-i500) currently running android 2.3.4 (but had same problem with other versions). what is this 'task killer' app? is it installed by default? maybe that's the problem. or maybe it stops looping because i'm not using an actual ringtone for the alarm? it's a short mp3 file (8 seconds long) stored on my sdcard...???
 
Alarm Clock Extreme. Well it just keeps on beeping annoyingly until I manage to turn it off after solving a "difficult" math problem. And its getting louder by the minute.
 
wow. i just figured out what is turning my alarm off. the damn screen lock. i have my phone set to turn off/lock the screen after 1 minute. 1 minute after the alarm goes off, it turns off and the puzzle lock appears. i'm not sure what to do about that.
 
ok. i didn't just figure anything out. i set my screen to timeout after 2 minutes but the damn alarm stops playing after 1 minute...still.
 
Just a word of caution, apps like Task Killer, Juice Defender, various 3rd party screen locker etc seems to control the phone in such a way they prevent other apps from waking the phone up which I presume include the stock alarm. You need to configure those apps carefully. But if you get stock Android without those over-zealous 3rd party apps, then the stock alarm should keep ringing.
