Early alarm on my new E66

Just familiarizing myself with my new E66 (200.21.118).

I have always used the alarm devices in my previous phones, but this morning the E66 was kind enough to wake me two hours EARLIER than the setting. It has worked fine the previous 3 days, but obvisously desired to show some temper!! :smileysad:

I'm a B-person, so this is not exactly my way of having fun, but I cleared the alarm setting, put in a fresh, got a message, that it would prompt me again after another 1:50 hours, and I dozed off... for about 5 minutes, then hell broke loose again like a snooze reminder from hell ( = the deleted alarm setting). Then it was time to disable the alarm complete, find my wife's less-than-100$ Nokia model (featuring a reliable alarm) and get back to sleep.

 

I have double-checked my time-zone settings and everything looks great. The only possible lead to an explanation is that I have synchronized my phone calendar with a Lotus Notes calender in the meantime.

 

I tried to look through other discussions here, and there has been plenty of issues reported related to alarm bugs, but I could not find anything related to the premature behaviour.

Please assist... I need some good sleep tonight.

Re: Early alarm on my new E66

A workaround identified. Instead of working with manual timezone settings, I had to use my phone operators automatic settings... that proved to be wrong by one hour (?!?).... anyway it works for me now.
