I found a bug with TheOneb2 (may be the same with all). The problem is that if you switch your profile to "Silent" and then return it back to normal - the alarms remains silent... The only solution is to reboot the phone.

For that reason I am turning off my phone every time when I need silent mode. Hopefully that will be fixed further...

P.S. Can somebody test with ilove3d Ultimate?

Yearh,this is a known bug.Unluckily,we havent figure out the cause. :(

Usually,I use a app called "autoPower" (by tomlih@it168) as an alternative.It can automaticly turn off the phone and then turn it on at specific times.It uses the built in alarmclock app to work.Generally it's more reliable in my case.

Should I upload it here and explain how to use it?

@Exploited:I tested twice and the alarm rings normally.I'm on 12.01.48P(modified by myself).

This is how I test:
The first time,set the alarm clock and switch to silent profile.Then switch back to normal profile.The alarm rings.
The second time,switch to slient profile then set the alarm clock.Switch back to normal profile.The alarm rings too.
So in my case,switching to slient profile dont cause the alarm clock not to work.
But sometimes the alarm doesnt ring and I havent found the cause. ???

See the attached file.(Contains source code too :)
Usage:add it to your autorun script(startup.txt).For example,I put the autopower app in "unKnown" folder.Then I will add:
Code:
if [ -f /ezxlocal/download/mystuff/unKnown/autoPower_ac ]
  then /ezxlocal/download/mystuff/unKnown/autoPower_ac
fi
After that,reboot the phone.You will see two new alarm named "poweron" and "poweroff" in Alarm Clock.Modify the time to your need then reboot the phone again(not necessary but suggested).Now,its working.Hope this app may help you. :)

BTW:How it works - It runs in the backgroud and checks every 12s if it is the "poweron" or "poweroff" time.

Looks like that the problem does not exists on stock firmwares. So the bug is coming from a mod in the existing monster packs

As a matter of fact,I'm on a self-modified firmware.
So far as I know,early stock firmwares have this problem.I guess it's a bug of the built in alarmclock app,but not caused by mod.
