What happened to iPhone alarm in Year 2011?

Countless Apple iPhone consumers trying to explain after they overslept on start of the year 2011, as a outcome of glitch in the gadget's alarm clock function.Consumers exactly who arranged their iPhone alarm for a one-time wake-up instead of recurring use discovered the alarm did not go off with the year's arrival, Apple Inc. spokeswoman Natalie Harrison mentioned Sunday.A fix is in the works,and every iPhone alarms will continue to work correctly commencing Monday, she mentioned.

The glitch has an effect on iPhones using Apple's most recent iOS 4.0 operating system, as well as earlier versions of the smartphone whose customers have downloaded the most recent software.

It was not instantly evident exactly what triggered the actual alarm clock issue, or even the number of iPhone consumers were seriously affected. Web based postings on blogs as well as social media websites discussed many people being late for work, church services along with other prearranged appointments on Saturday as well as Sunday due to the problem.
The issue is the second in two months involving iPhone's alarm clock.

The bug apparently could possibly mess up your programs for January 2 as well, if you allow it to. However , there is a simple fix, and come the 3rd, the glitch really should disappear. Apple informed Engadget:
"We're aware of an issue related to nonrepeating alarms set for January 1 or 2. Customers can set recurring alarms for those dates and all alarms will work properly beginning January 3."

The company said in early November that the end of daylight savings time could cause problems for iPhone users. In that instance, Apple said that repeating alarms set on iPhones and some versions of the iPod touch might not recognize the Nov. 7 end of daylight savings time, and might work incorrectly shortly before or after the time change.
