No. If you have dozens or hundreds of alarms going off, the device will never stay asleep for long, and battery life will suffer greatly. I recommend watching Jeff Sharkey's 2009 Google I/O presentation: http://code.google.com/events/io/sessions/CodingLifeBatteryLife.html -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
