This happened again. The alarm started ringing, I pressed stop, nothing happened it got louder and louder. Tried pressing all buttons, tried to shut down no reaction, first time I had to remove the battery. this time I waited until it went to snooze. Then alarm menu disappeared and camera opened. This is not the fist time it was stuck on alarm clock. Any thoughts?

Yes it is enabled. What's up with that?

You're still asleep. It's all a dream.

Sorry.

Any processes running heavily? I had a version of the LastFM scrobbler from dev repository running and it was hammering my processor all the time.

I found the answer.

The problem here is that you get 2 modal popup windows. The "offline mode" one
has grabbed the focus/keyboard/mouse because it is the first one which
appeared. The second one (alarm notification) overlays the first one but the
second one can not get the mouse input because it is already reserved by the
first one.

One word. CRAP.

I read that you can turn your N900 face down and the alarm will automatically turn off. It's worth a try.

@esthreel - I know your pain of the alarm not turning off! What's more annoying is when the phone rings, you take it out of your pocket and the screen just does not turn on... and then when it does it takes about 5 seconds before the phone registers you pushing the answer button.

Try this as well:

1. click onto a blank space in the desktop and then on the 'cog' to go into desktop edit mode.
2. push the power button once and click on secure device

Even though the device is locked the top menu still stays and you can click on it (although admittedly I can't see to get around the lock... yet)

Relatedly, the stop/snooze dialog pops up before the alarm sound is started, so if you've got high CPU load and the alarm is triggered then it's possible to cancel the dialog before the sound starts ... and then the alarm sound is started. And of course you can't stop it because the dialog has gone. Oops. Reboot time.

It was filed as a bug and erroneously marked as a dupe - I've just added some blurb and asked for it to be reopened: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9941
