It is really great that Symbian is starting to show signs of maturity across their OS. One of the really great features of the Nokia E71, is the highly manageable alarm clock. We take this feature for granted, but we must admit that we use this feature alot more than quite a few other features on our phones.
Setting up the alarm on the Nokia E71 is slightly different to the standard Symbian S60 layout, in that it is now found in a new folder in the menu and the alarm settings now allow it to be a lot more customisable.
Follow this easy step by step guide to set up the alarm:
- Press the menu button. By default, this is the button with the home icon. See the diagram below:
- Open the Office folder.
- Open the Clock application
- Use the right scroll to open the alarm tab.
- Press the Options button and click on New Alarm.
- Set the time.
- Give the alarm a name.
- Set how often you would like it to repeat, daily, weekly, or workdays.
- Click OK!
Thank you! I couldn't find the alarm app, I never thought to look under the clock.
cheers!
Thank you for this tip! i was already trying to search the web for a program that handles repeating alarms when i chanced upon your post. It was a great help.
thanks!
quite elusive.
Can anyone tell me how to set a song from the music library as the alarm tone?
cheers

@Andrew - Thanks for visiting!
Setting a music track as an alarm tone is very simple. Follow the steps listed above to get you into the main screen of the clock application.
Then hit "Options" and scroll down to "Settings", enter the "Settings" menu.
Scroll down until you get "Clock Alarm Tone" which should be about 9 or 10 places from the top. Enter this menu.
Select the track that you would like to assign as your alarm tone and then hit "Select".
That should do the trick!
I have since moved my blog to http://dchetty.co.za and I have posted quite a few more relevant posts. Feel free to visit my new blog as well!
Thanks, didn't bothered to look there for the alarm function :)
Thanks. I had a hard time to find the alarm in E71. :)
When i get the E71, I will check out the alarm for sure :-P Seriously, multiple alarms are cool! I hate that i DONT have it on my phone now.
Thanks, spent a week looking for the alarm, so off to set it up with a music track as above
yeah well, you still get stuck with the same alarm tone for every alarm and a fixed snooze time.
Found it thanx,
But can anyone tell me how to set the volume on the alarm!
Waking up @ 5 in the morning is one thing, but waking up with an heartattack is another :)
Thank you!! this was really helpful. I had wasted a day on finding the alarm settings on this phone. Why does Nokia have the alarm settings in the Office folder?? I think they've gone nuts.....
i have been up for 1 hour trying to find this f****ng alarm...you are a god send many thanks.
Thanks. Was able to find the alarm clock in my new E71 with your post. :-)
E71--_In quick office, if you open Quick office/new document/ worksheet, it looks like MS Excel but it does not have colomn numbers and row alfabets. can anyone tell me how to get colomn and row identification?It is very inconvinient to use the worksheet.
Thanks a million!!! I spent the night afraid to sleep in case i overslept coz i didn't have an alarm! Tonight I can sleep!!
Couldn't find how to set up the weekly schedule to only ring on Friday's 12:55pm
You know kids get off school at 1:00pm instead of usual 2:45.
Looks like I have to wait till Friday to be able to setup an alarm that only rings on Fridays :-)
I'd already disappointed with E71. But you made me change my opinion.Very useful. Thanks a lot........
thanks a lot!
Where is the alarm volume? Does it take another hour to find out how to set the volume?
Not happy!
Stupidly - Nokia does not allow us to set the volume of the alarm(s) independently of the Ringer volume. If you want to change the volume of the Alarm you must go into the Profile and increase/decrease the Ringer volume. How idiotic! I have a 10 year old Motorola v190 - hardly a high end phone - that lets me set independent alarm volumes for each alarm I set up. Wake up Nokia.
How do I set it to ring today, today is Friday, I selected Friday. When I reviewed it it showed the date as next Friday.
omg...as if the alarm is in office... I thought it would be in applications
but seriously e71 is such a good phone
