Alarm problems have been present since at least 2002, can't remember the version out then but, I don't even attempt to use them any longer, because they don't stop sometimes, or go off totally at the wrong time.
I had one go off last fall at the time you all were supposed to switch back to standard time, nothing in the planner, nothing anywhere to suggest why that happened, and it would not stop beeping until I did a reset, and it happened on the BN 18-cell but not the 32-cell. I have not tried using them on my transplants with 7.0. Figure it will still be problematic.

Alarms work for a while (I also use my mPower as an alarm clock) but then they will stop for days to weeks at a time. I have no idea what is going on, but this has happened ever since 6.11 on my classic.
