Well mine went off an hour late due to it not picking up the fact that the clocks had changed despite the phone showing the correct time. Has anyone else has this problem? Apparently the problem is with recurring alarms.

Yup, Ben mentioned it in The Meeting Place, and Ollie in the Mac Software forum and it's doing the rounds on Twitter. Bit crap, really. You'd think it'd be a standard test set-up.

If it went off an hour late then it DID pick up the time change but got the maths wrong. If you set an alarm for 7am then if it goes off 24 hours later it would have gone off at 6am. However it went off at 8am (i.e. 24hours after 9am) and so was an hour out the wrong way. It's one hell of a c*ck up by Apple.

In short, until it is fixed I'll have to set my alarm 1 hour early. Apparently this will be fixed in 4.2

I don't have an iPhone, so take this with a pinch of salt...
From what I've seen, it affects repeating calendar events (I've seen reports that if you set your alarm every night, it's been unaffected). If you delete the alarm clock event and create a new one, it ought to bypass the bug for now.

Re-creating a recurring alarm still produces the bug and I can't trust myself to remember to turn the alarm on every day.
A non-recurring alarm will go off at the time you set it at.

I use my old phone as my alarm as the iPhone has to be switched on to use it and I have friends who often send me texts at 4am.

What with receiving work emails at all hours, I've got into the habit of turning my iPhone onto silent at night...

My phone crashed/locked up, so I've done a complete restore. It's running iOS 4.2.1 but now none of my alarms work. Deleted all of them and set single alarms - nothing.

There was a problem on the 1st and 2nd of January that Apple haven't explained, but it should be ok now...

Yeah, the gf set her alarm on the 1st and it never went off. We both checked and double check but couldn't workout why it never went off..... that might explain it
