Yea basically since 0.9.5 (I think, have to check the changelogs again now) flip implemented "auto-clearing alarms", so when the sound file finishes playing if it's not set to loop, the alarm is considered "off" and the buttons go away. In your case because Flip couldn't play the sound file, it tried then finished, so the buttons disappeared and the alarm "failed". Thanks for helping out before I got to it Den!

jolouis - let me know if you want me to send you the file that Flipclock didn't like. I didn't search the thread - you are probably already aware of this issue and have sufficient examples, but I figured I would offer.
Oh please if you could that would be awesome! I know a few people have run into this, but I haven't found a sound file myself that doesn't work and most MP3s people have said failed are "not publicly re-distributable". If you could zip that not-working file and email it to me that would be amazing, maybe then I could actually fix this! Thanks!

Anyone having issues where no sound plays once the snooze button is pressed? This seems to only be an issue when flipclock is started from alarmd. Usually I don't leave flipclock running in the background. I tried to do some testing by running flipclock from the console but I could never replicate this :-/ I am playing an mp3 file for the alarm and looping is set
Hmmm first I've heard of it, but I usually leave flip running in Insomanic mode since I fixed that brightness level thing. So just to be clear, at alarm time flip opens, the sound plays and alarm buttons show up... you hit snooze and it goes quiet, back to normal clock mode... then in say 5 minutes (or whatever your snooze time was), the alarm buttons pop back up but no sound is heard?

It sounds like there's something else preventing the sound from working... are there any other apps running at the time in the background?

The app looks promising, but I can't seem to get the flipclock installed.
What device/OS version are you running? If you're installing from the application manager there shouldn't be any problems... does it give you any errors or?

Thanks!
