Ondrej Holzman Apple has prepared an unpleasant gift for iPhone users for the New Year. The set alarms did not ring, again. iOS somehow didn't handle the transition to the new year, and alarms set for January 3st didn't go off unless they were set to snooze. Apple acknowledged the problem and revealed that everything will be fixed on January XNUMXrd.
News of this problem began to emerge gradually as 2011 rolled into more and more countries. According to this information, the error was on devices that had iOS 4.2.1 installed, i.e. the latest version of the operating system.
Apple has now confirmed that the bug will fix itself on January 3rd, until then it recommended using a snooze alarm that works. "We are aware of the issue, the one-time alarms set for January 1st and 2nd are not working," she said for Macworld Apple spokeswoman Natalie Harrison. "Users can set a recurring alarm for these days, then everything will work again from January 3rd."
At the same time, this is not Apple's first problem with alarm clocks. iPhones rang sooner or later already when switching to winter time. Everyone now hopes that the unpleasant matter will not happen again.

I just fell asleep because of it - they are idiots lol.
let alone how much they want for an iPhone, they could really forgive these cows
I really wonder how many people with iPhones had their alarms set after New Year's Eve…
Not everyone gets drunk and then sleeps off on New Year's Eve. Many people go to work or have other schedules (me and yes, I fell asleep, again).
I no longer trust the iPhone as an alarm clock and will probably buy an extra alarm clock. I also overslept and missed the train during the winter time switch. :-(
BTW: the code of those apps must be terrible and completely unmaintainable, because otherwise I can't explain why it passed code review. The question also arises, how safe are the applications in the AppStore? When the check does not reveal even such fundamental errors and moreover in the application itself. So I have no illusions about checking 3rd party applications.
Well, at least one of the main innovations of the iPhone 5 will be a new revolutionary bjůtyfl alarm clock that works :D I'm already looking forward to Steve announcing this news and everyone clapping and nodding their heads in agreement :D
Well, you know that. Anyone who needs such a complicated and unnecessary thing as an alarm clock that wakes up is a nerd. And in general, the alarm clock is not for ordinary people. ;-) :-)
When I bought the iPhone 3G, it was the only smartphone with the most usable browser and good controls, so I bought it despite the silly limitations. I got used to. Except for the damn bugs in the alarm clock. Being in the US, I'm probably filing a lawsuit against them. This is probably how I will look at the competition next time. :-)
I also fell asleep easily because of it 1.1. By chance, there were other alarm clocks in your room. But if he wasn't, I won't wake you up. Apple's behavior in this is appalling. If there is a problem (e.g. see the bad design of the antenna on the iP 4G), the first thing to do is to hammer, hammer, and then you can't dispute it, so you have to comment on it somehow. And the joke is that they knew about it, but they didn't tell people how to solve it. If they are no longer able to fix it, at least they could stand up to it and warn.
BTW, probably only iOS 4.2.1 was not affected. I have 4.1 and it didn't wake up either (unless the person turned on repeat).
Ha ha it's funny, one day the alarm clock betrays me and it's written about on the net... :) It's also funny that I didn't light so much and nothing happened... :)
My alarm didn't work and I missed my early BA-London flight. Thanks... Is it bad that I probably wouldn't succeed here?
Hello.. I have an alarm set that repeats itself, but just to be sure, I have to go to school tomorrow and I already fell asleep during the summer/winter time change, so I just created an alarm and tried - and it's ok, so Google .. Criticism of Apple is probably a bit but that's not a reason to throw your iPhone 4 off the balcony..:D because Apple has other quality devices.. True - in iOS 4.2.1 I would have expected it to be fixed, but that's how it happens.. Anyway, I think that those who don't know why is it iPhone 4 and not "iPhone 4G" as someone wrote here, he shouldn't criticize Apple at all if he doesn't know what he's buying and what's more, it's written on the box:D and I'm surprised.. A bit of an overreaction isn't it? :D otherwise, I wish everyone at Applarum a happy new year and a lot of comfortable iPhone use..;-)
Bomb … Today 3.1 I had my alarm set for 5:15 and lo and behold what happened? NOTHING!!! If it wasn't for my mom going to work, I wouldn't have missed the bus. I applaud Steve.. There's no way iOS as sophisticated as this can't handle something as primitive as ringing when it's supposed to!! Does anyone have the same problem with 3.1??
This morning 7:07 – NOTHING :-/
And isn't it a user file? This morning, the disposable alarm clock already works...
I set two alarms on my iPhone 4 last night before midnight and neither of them went off this morning, so it won't be the user. A century old Nokia woke me up. Then I experimented with setting the alarm to go off in two minutes and it worked fine. Well, I definitely won't rely on him for getting up tomorrow. :-(
I have iOS 4.0 and it doesn't ring either. I'm getting a little nervous :(
iOS 4.1, this morning NOTHING!!! Are you kidding me? I fell asleep, but I don't care. It's about the principle and you saying that it will be okay today.
They're just really making an "ass" out of us. I understand that a mistake can happen somewhere, but if it has already happened once and they know about it and they also knew that this would happen, then I don't think it's right for them to just say, "we know about it, it'll just be done on the 3rd" ... besides, it didn't even get fixed. It's not the first time that Apple behaves rudely to its customers, and not only me but also my friends don't like it. If I didn't love the iPhone, I wouldn't buy anything from them again. I really don't like this. :(
Bunch of ignoramuses!
I had 3 alarms set and only one rang, I paid 18000 for the phone and I can't even get a stupid alarm clock? I'm making boobs, omg..
Apple won't fix anything for me anymore, I fell asleep this morning and this thing freaked me out so much that I fucked my phone on the ground twice. Apple has finished with phones for me, I don't feel like solving a basic thing like an alarm clock anymore. This was the last straw, with a constant stream of bad updates, I have 3G, when the phone became unusable and I had to wait half a year for it to release the next update, I don't have time for this! It's simply a toy for children, but not a phone for serious business or life at all. Otherwise, for those who are fanatical believers, I have been an Apple user for 15 years, but I really don't like this.
It doesn't work either.. I'm having a lot of fun :D also, my girlfriend has a naughty samsung :D
Who uses an alarm clock other than on a mobile phone?
It didn't wake me up either... pry helps to delete the set alarms and set them again... I haven't tried it yet...
Well, it rang fine in the morning, so the problem will probably be of a slightly more varied nature. I have iOS 4.2.1 and iP 4. The alarm was a one-time alarm at 7:15
I also set a repeat ring from Mon-Fri this morning and just fine and just in case five minutes later a one-off and also no problem. IP 4, iOS 4.2.1.
Not working even today. :-D Fortunately, I use a repeatable one, which saved the alarm clock of my significant other, who has a disposable one on her iP. :-)
Well, I'm fine with a disposable. It is also OK on the second iP. It looks like it was necessary to make it not ring once. Then it's probably going OK.
iP 3G IOS 3.1.3 one-time alarm works without problems.
3.1.3 :-D The article is about 4.2.1 (one year older FW). O.T
The one-time alarm rang normally for me.
3GS iOS 4.0.1 – one-time alarm clock didn't ring today 3.1 !!!! grrr
My little one's alarm clock is set at all but it doesn't ring :-( what stim?:-(
iPhone 4, iOS 4.2.1 - Single alarm set yesterday didn't ring today, repeated alarm did. After deleting all the alarms and setting the new settings, everything is working OK today - hopefully it will last...
After deleting all the alarm clocks and setting a new one, everything works even if the alarm clock is not set to repeat. iPhone 3GS iOS 4.2.1
Unfortunately, there is a similar error with time zones. If automatic time zone detection from GSM is turned on, the time will change, but the alarm clock runs in the original time zone and I haven't figured out how to force it to run in the new one. In the USA, I ran into it quite a few times. In addition, it didn't always happen, so it was quite a problem to estimate when it would happen and when it wouldn't, so I didn't rely on the logic behind it :(
I have an iPhone4, iOS 4.2.1, and the one-time alarm woke me up today as it should.
I have never been disappointed by the alarm clock in the iPhone and I have been using it every day since the first model and always the most up-to-date FW. On the evening of January 2, I set my alarm clock 5 minutes earlier than my girlfriend, as always, because her LG rings according to her mood (it just sometimes rings, sometimes it doesn't, it's a really nice phone, such a moody KP500 :-) ) but mainly I set it 5 minutes earlier because the the sound of that LG gives me a heart attack in the morning and what didn't happen on January 3rd at 6:15 I almost had a heart attack. It would be ironic to have a heart disease :-D. The alarm didn't go off, so I set it on purpose for a minute and it continues to go off without a problem. What to say about all this.. I really don't know.. A mistake can happen.. Fortunately, it didn't cause me a problem, but I understand those who were inconvenienced by it. I would probably swear too…
Hello, just as everyone has a problem with the alarm clock, so do I.. My alarm clock did not ring on Monday. But today, yes. Just delete the set alarms and set them again, then they will work normally :) ;)
Hello, I have a problem with my iPhone 3g. After changing to daylight saving time, it still rings an hour earlier than I set the alarm…..I've already tried setting and deleting the alarm again and the alarm still goes off an hour earlier. Thank you very much in advance for Zachard's advice
