Sorry if this is a question that's already been asked and answered but I've searched pretty extensively and not found it.
I find on my Motorola Defy that to set up an alarm I have to go through:
1) Alarm & timer
2) select alarm
3) tick 'alarm on'
4) open 'time'
5) enter time using cursor-based text input
If it was even the case that the text in the 'time' field was automatically selected so you could directly press numbers that would be a start - and if it would automatically advance from the 'hours' field to the 'minutes' field - but none of this is the case. It's one of the surprisingly many examples of extraordinarily bad clunkiness in Android. There must be a better way.
On my 10-year-old Nokia I had a shortcut direct to alarm input so it went:
1) press 'up button' to get to alarm
2) input time using number pad, requiring precisely 4 key-presses of big number keys
I would love to find an app like this! (but wouldn't touch one that had any hint at all of complaints about problems not going off).
Thanks a lot for any ideas!
