I'm looking for possible causes of intermittent calendar reminder alarms failing to sound or even pop up on the screen. The issue is on a Droid X rooted with Droid 3 Easy Root, and has ROM Manager, Clockworkmod Recovery, and Droid 2 Bootstrapper installed.
What is interesting is that I have an LG Ally originally tied to the same Google account, and it DOES show and sound each and every one of my many daily repeating alarms from the exact same Google calendar.
I got the Droid X gently used from my son on 10/23. No problems with the alarms sounding once it was factory reset and my account was set up on it instead of his and then we rooted it. But when the last Sunday in October came (the original time change for DST here in the Eastern Standard Time zone), that's when the alarm issues began. Eventually I completely deleted all daily repeating alarms I have ever had in Google calendar back thru when I began using it in May, 2010, and re-created the alarms.
Last night I did another factory reset, and then used Titanium Backup to restore the apps and their data I had installed previously, but not system data.
Today "most" of the alarms sounded so far (I use 10 daily repeating alarms which are very important to me) but the night is still young (for me) so about half of those have yet to be addressed today. Some have sounded, but sounded late. One was 1 minute late. One that I snoozed for "10 minutes" at 6:40 re-sounded at 8:30!! Another failed to sound or display at all on the Droid X. (All have sounded and displayed normally on the Ally.)
If anyone has any suggestions what might be causing this, please let me know. I want to move from my Ally to this Droid X, but I can't do that if the alarms aren't going to be reliable.
