I have 4 alarms set in the morning to wake me up. All 4 go off every morning with out issue. Each is more annoying than the previous.
I am a heavy sleeper and I somehow have mastered shutting off the alarm in my sleep.
Eris FTW!!!
Sure.
1. Goto the alarms section.
2. Put a green check on the one you want to delete.
3. Press the menu button.
4. Select delete.
It will delete the ones that are checked.
My alarm has been hit or miss as well... No real reason for it that I can see.
I'm having sneaking suspicion that the cause is due from my task killer app...
The odd thing is that Alarm Clock says that it is running, and that the alarm is ready to go off... I tested it after I killed everything and it seemed to recreate the problem...
Try moving your Alarm Clock over you the Ignored List within your task killer. See if that fixes your issues.
User error...
There is nothing wrong with the alarm clock. Mine works great. Please read the manual.
I finally found the "manual" on the motorol web site -- but all it is is a 54 page pdf file which does not say anything about changing the volume after you set the alarm.
Is someone aware of another longer manual? If so, please post a link.
You may have gotten the wrong manual. The phone is made by HTC, not Motorola
buy an alarm clock. i totally understand the whole "i bought this and this is a feature and we should be able to use it" but seriously, you can get an alarm clock for like 5 bucks, and save a lot of aggravation.
This is an interesting point but I am not using it to wake myself up.
I am using it to warn me that it is time to go to a meeting, or take out the trash, or some other short term thing. You can set several alarms with the phone -- my alarm clock has two -- one for during the week and one for the weekends.
If you you know of a free app that lets me do that instead of the one I paid for, I'll be happy to turn off the alarm clock and use the freeby.
My old verizon phone worked quite well for this purpose....
that was mostly addressed to those using it as a alarm clock for waking up. if that is your situation and your native app doesnt work well that sucks.
i have 1 reminder set to go off every thursday at 9am to remind me to do my time sheets and it works without fail.
This thread helped me set my alarm. Thanks!
Thanks! That did it for me! I appreciate the help.
I never thought to enable the alarm that I was trying to delete. It it may or may not be counter intuitive, but the thought never occurred to me that it would have to be active in order to delete it...

I had this problem too. I registered because so many people have had this problem and the answer is simple and I wanted to share it.
Go into your clock, click on the alarm you're setting.
Then, click on "Alarm Sound." Choose your sound, AND be sure to hit the volume up rocker on the side of your phone. For some reason, the alarm is either initially set at silent, or it gets turned down to silent when you silence your phone.
Either way, make sure your alarm sound is up at an audible level so that you can hear it.
Hope that helps!
I found a Droid Eris manual at:
http://member.america.htc.com/downl...erizon/DROID_ERIS_Verizon_English_UM_11_5.pdf
It has 238 pages. I found it very useful.
Thanks for the help!
Interestingly, I went to page 183 in the manual, and does not say anything about adjusting the alarm volume.
I am beginning to suspect at an earlier post was correct -- that if you turn the machine to silent mode, somehow that makes the alarm notification go off or to zero volume perhaps.
There are many options and settings and the interactions between them are subtle. I am not sure I could think of a better way to deal with some of the issues though.
