Thank you for your reply but cal.getTimeInMillis() returns the right thing. It has been suggested before that this might be returning the wrong value but whenever I attach my device via USB cable I always see all alarms being set as you can see one of them below (others omitted). I regret that I cannot see the timestamp on the logcat output (where is the date and time)? How long does the logcat go back in time? I need to disconnect the device and then look at the logcat several hours later when an alarm is missed, but with no timestamp it is a little difficult to go back to the place in the log where the messages were supposed to be and debug. Could it be that my LG Optimus Net is one of few devices where the alarm does not worked as advertised in the API? What other devices may have this same problem?
