[maemo-users] N800 alarm has gone silent

[From: Paul Yu]

Thanks Simon.

Offline-Online worked. I saw the bug before but looked no further after it said it was RESOLVED. Now, looking into the comments, it is WONTFIX for N800.

BTW, this also fixed the "Lock device" option being grayed out.

Hi,

I don't know if this is your user on the forums, but there is this
thread [1] talking about the same issue. It points to a bug [2], which
they said might be related.

However, I experienced the same bug myself, with recurring alarms
going silent (and I got late at work :P). The fix that worked for me
was either

a) Going "offline mode", and then "online mode" again
b) Doing a) and rebooting. (I can't recall if I had to remove the battery)

If my "fixes" (doesn't deserve that name) doesn't work, I hope the links will.

Hope this helps,

Simon
