5:30AM vs 5:30PM Alarm

I recently added an alarm for 5:30pm. I already had a 5:30am alarm set. (3 total alarms).

When viewing all three alarms, I noticed that the AM/PM was not displayed on the list of alarms (go to Home-->Clock-->Alarm). Could not tell if the alarm was set for PM or AM without selecting the alarm and checking. Sounds like a small bug to me.

Also, if I go to Settings and change my iPhone to 24HR clock, this alarm ignores this preference. There have been numerous issues with the clock. Especially when you consider how simple the clock functions are compared with some of the other amazing things this iPhone does. Perhaps the CLOCK utility was coded in a hurry. Maybe Apple will do a re-write next release.

MacBook and iPhone, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

You may need to restore your iPhone, or even take it to an Apple Store to have it looked at. Mine is working as expected.

I have two alarms defined 8:00am and 4:00pm. Wen I have 24 Hour Time turned off, that's how they appear. When I have 24 hour time turned on, they appear as 8:00 and 16:00, with no AM or PM indicators.

What version of firmware is on your iPhone? Have you turned it off and back on?

I currently have 1 alarm defined, and it shows "AM" after the time in the main display.
