iPhone Alarm Glitch
iPhone alarm glitch? Here's the fix
I'm sure you've heard by now - or you were late to work this morning. There's a bug in Apple's iOS 4 software that's preventing alarms from ringing in 2011.
Happy new year, right?
The fix, however, is simple.
All you need to do is set the alarm as recurring.
So instead of a daily alarm set for 6:45, set the alarm for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday for 6:45. Even if you just set it for Monday, Tuesday or Tuesday, Wednesday, that would do it too. It's just the single alarm that is not working.
Apple did say that the problem will auto-correct itself on Monday, but many people have found out that's not exactly the case. So until there's a software fix or something more substantial, setting your alarm as recurring is all you should need to do to get up on time tomorrow.
iPhone alarm glitch leaves users snoozing through 2011
A glitch in Apple’s iPhone software caused the phone to tick right past scheduled alarm times without a peep this weekend.
If too much New Years revelry weren’t enough to foil thousands of morning plans this weekend, a bug with the iPhone did the trick. Mirroring November’s European daylight savings time hiccup, a known glitch in iOS caused phones with one-time alarms set for January 1 and 2 to fizzle, leaving iPhone users oversleeping throughout the country.
Engadget forewarned of the bug on New Years Eve, but Apple failed to respond with a patch in time and alarms failed to go off the next morning as predicted – then again on Sunday.
“We’re aware of an issue related to non-repeating alarms set for January 1 or 2,” Apple responded in an e-mail to news outlets. According to the company, alarms will begin functioning properly again on January 3, even without a patch.
Need an alarm for the remaining hours of January 2? Apple recommends setting a recurring alarm, which won’t be affected by the bug, then deleting it after it goes off.
