SOFTWARE VERSION:
Maemo 5
EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM:
1. setup an alarm clock to ring at a pre-determined time
2. wait for that time for the alarm to go off
3. press the "snooze" button
EXPECTED OUTCOME:
the fact an alarm is in progress (although silenced) should be easily visible.
ACTUAL OUTCOME:
the alarm popup disappears, the alarm application is not left in the background
and the home screen does not show anything different to any other time.
REPRODUCIBILITY:
always
Almost every other alarm clock I've ever had uses 'snooze' as a silencer but
leaves the alarm in progress. This makes it easy to stop a snoozed alarm, even
with sleepy eyes! At present, it takes 4-5 clicks to stop a snoozed alarm, when
it should probably only need a single finger push.

Solution #1: Start Clock App when Alarm Goes Off?
Posted on 2010-02-16 16:31 UTC by Ralph Bolton.
One suggestion would be to open the alarm app when an alarm goes off. if you
want to continue using the phone while an alarm is snoozed, you could just put
the app in the background (or close it altogether). otherwise, it could just
stay in the foreground with "snooze" and "stop" buttons visible.
