If your like me you may have been late to work because of your HTC Hero alarm not going off, basically my HTC Hero alarm would go off but not make any noise, to fix this go to your settings for the alarm then select alarm sound and go to the selection menu.

Whilst in the selection menu press the volume controls on the side and turn it up to the loudest.

The most evil, lowly and irritating bug. It knows how to show me the way home, communicates with sattelites, does all this fancy stuff but FAILS TO WAKE ME UP. seriously weak.

Have the same problem but my sound IS turned up. It sounds the alarm sometimes, but not always. No clue what is wrong.

Something “as simple” as setting the alarm clock, has proven to be not as simple ….lol Thanks for the help!!

I’ve also read on other reports that killing the clock task also stops the alarm from going off.

Thank you so much, have just sorted my alarm. Boss wasn’t too annoyed with me coming in late today, mainly because it’s my last week!
