Why doesn't the alarm go off in the morning when I power off the phone at night?

Whoops sorry, it's a HTC Legend.... I've only ever used Nokia phones and just got the HTC. I'm setting the alarm in the evening but once I power off the phone the alarm doesn't go off in the morning. Went back to the shop and they couldn't figure it out either. Any help would be much appreciated .... thanks

Hm, weird! I do not have a Legend here. And I have never heard about this problem so far.

What are you doing if you face this issue? Do you take out the battery?

No I don't take out the battery and it seems the only thing I can do is leave the phone on all night which is a bummer if someone rings while I'm asleep. If you do come across the problem or even better a solution will you let me know.... thanks

Any news back from HTC as I to have had problems with the alarm not working when phone is off.
I have looked for a setting to enable phone to power up but with no success.
Cheers

Yeah, I talked to HTC. This issue cannot be fixed.

Ian, if you turn off your phone completely, you won't be able to power it up. You have to keep your phone on all the time. Here is a good alarm, btw: Gentle Alarm

I eventually gave the HTC back to the shop in return for a Nokia N97 Mini..... At least I know how to work a Nokia!!!

:) Yeah, but there are no apps then. Or at least not a lot! Android is quite a great OS. But there are still some improvements to do.

Thank you Fabian for the information.
Do you know if it is a hardware or software issue?
This seems to be an oversight on behalf of HTC as lesser spec phones do this.
If it is a software surely this could be included in a new issue of the firmware
I switched from a Sony Ericsson with the internal 8gb memory because it was slow and now also using Ubuntu
it seemed a logical choice to go for an open source Android phone.

great forum by the way loads of info

Ian
