Anyone having problems with the alarm not always working? I use it as a back-up in case of power outtages or cases of extreme slumber. At times, the alarm has not been going off through the speaker (yes, I get screen for the snooze/alarm off, yet no sound is playing).
When it works, it's great gets me right up....but sometimes it's when I get notifications or txt messages...I ignore them and for some reason, keeps the speaker from working...and at times I get no messages and it still doesn't go off through speaker.
I found out the hard way that it does not work all the time.
I've only had my Storm for about 2 weeks, and I haven't had a problem. Yet... Knock wood. That would really be a bummer, as the BlackBerry is my only alarm at school.
I noticed this as well...I believe bedside mode and Silent prevent the alarm from working. (sometimes I can't remember if I turned off the alarm or it never went off!!)
From my understanding, bedside mode prevents messages (and calls?) from interrupting the clock program. So if it's active it *should* prevent the notifications. Not really sure why you're getting sporadic results with the sound, though.
I'm brand new to the blackberry world. I have a curve 8330. When I got the phone a week ago, the home screen had an alarm clock icon on it. When I started moving around the other icons, the alarm disappeared. How do I get missing icons back?

I know that bedside modes dims the screen and turns off LED notification.
