iPhone alarm not working, fix in the pipeline
January 3rd, 2011 - 9:41 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattNew York, Jan 3 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Many iPhone users were left swearing when the alarm on the phone failed to go off. That made many people to oversleep and miss the trains and buses to work.
The bad news was that most bosses refused to accept that iPhone was to blame. Many of the affected iPhone users took to Twitter and complained about the alarm glitch. Apple acknowledged the problem and promised to fix it.
It however seemed that the problem was self fixing. Some investigations by some tech websites revealed that the problem with the alarm will automatically be fixed on Monday the 3rd day of January.
Before that, many people found a way to fix the alarm problem. A simple solution was offered to fix the problem. It involved just taping the clock on the phone. When it comes up, you hold the “+” sign and set the alarm to the desired time.
After that, you need to set the repeat interval and then save the whole process. That brought back the alarm to life again.
With the alarm glitch solved, workers can now get back to their comfort zone and rely “solely” on their alarms to wake them up again.
