The alarm service has many pitfalls but even if programmed correctly, it doesn't work reliably on some devices. The standard alarm clock doesn't run reliably on those same devices; that's a strong hint that something is wrong.
Here's what I observed in these devices after pulling the log: - the display is being turned off or goes off by itself and there is little activity for a while - then suddenly there's NO activity in the logs for many hours (highly unusual) - the first activity reported after this silence is the display being turned on manually If the alarm was supposed to happen in this silence period, you will find there's no Intent fired. The alarm service did no wake up the device. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
