so i just got an optimus black and the alarm didn't go off because it was turned off. is that normal? i thought the alarms on phones were supposed to go off automatically. can anyone tell me what the deal is?

smartphones are like computers. they need power to do stuff. it's not like an old dinky phone.

could be a hardware issue

that really sucks! hope you didn't miss anything importnat

thanks for the concern, Gee. it wasnt a major problem, but it's annoying that I have to keep the phone on all night to hear the alarm. don't want to be getting calls all night and texts

just turn your phone to silent and keep the alarm volume high. problem solved
