Unable to silence alarm [1.0.4.20] [not relevant]
asked 2014-03-19 10:50:49 +0200
This morning, my alarm went off at 6:20, like it is supposed do.
I could not silence it however.
- The home screen was active, but pressing the power button did not return the phone to lock-mode
- I tried opening and closing the alarm application without luck.
- The usual overlay for alarm notification was nowhere to be found.
When it finally shut up, I was awake and so was my girlfriend who wasn't planning on getting up at the time.
Edit: Worth mentioning, that I've been using Jolla as my primary phone since 19th of December. Never had this issue before upgrading to 1.0.4.20
Did the power button silence the alarm in earlier versions? You are supposed to pull the screen bottom-top to stop the alarm (and top-bottom to activate snoozing). Both gestures silence the alarm.

The power button didn't silence, but locking the screen and unlocking the screen sometimes reveals missing overlays/windows.
