Quick Google search gets us bad news, it's official, alarm does not work starting new year. ....Apple has admitted the problem/software bug, and their spokesman said the issue will fix itself on the 3rd of January.
Just curious: how will this problem "fix itself on the 3d of Jan?" Will this involve a "patch" to iPhone software, a downloadable upgrade, or what? If the problem will just "go away" on the 3d, then it's not a "fix." It just won't affect iPhones after the 3d. Which is it? Thanks.
That’s it. In this way you can fix the iPhone Alarm bug. According to 9to5mac, this alarm bug will fix itself on 3rd January 2011. According to Engadget, It is one time alarms that are causing the problem, not repeats. Don’t forget to share your views in the comment section below. As usual stay tuned with us for more updates. Wish you a very very Happy New Year

If your curious you can test it yourself by manually setting your phone to a date and time tomorrow (on the 3rd) and setting an alarm to test and see if it works. That will give you your answer if it will just fix itself on after that date.
I don't know if I have that problem or not. I use 2 different 3rd party apps from teh app store for alarms, and they both worked propery on teh first and second of January (both repeating and single use alrams).

You are correct. It has to be re-occuring Mon-friday etc.
Also, everyone is saying that it will go away after Jan 3rd 2011. So just wait till tomorrow. Id set a couple more alarms to make sure though. haha
