Sony ICF C7IP - Sony alarm clock no longer working via iPhone 4 after 4.3.1

So my Sony alarm clock - ICF C7IP - is no longer able to wake me up via my iPhone 4 after the 4.3.1 update. I've checked my other iOS devices that aren't able to take that update and they each are allowed to alarm by playing music thru the Sony alarm clock.

Just to clarify: these are not alarms set on the iPhone. They are alarms set on the Sony alarm clock to be played by the iOS device when it goes off.

Very disappointing. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon.

Anyone else out there notice this yet?

24" iMac, MacBook Air, 14 or so others., Mac OS X (10.6.7), I have what amounts to my own classic Mac museum.

Hey wanted to report that last night I did a restart on the iPhone and ~ voila! ~ this morning the alarm worked. So give that a whack if you already havn't.

By the way... Do you have a bumper on your iPhone? If you do, I thought I'd mention the adapter that u can find that let's you keep it on the device and let's it dock properly. Without one you'll lose the charge connection, etc. as it wobbles. Can give more info if needed.

The Synthecept LYCO Adapter is what I went with:

With the adapter attached you can't push the alarm clock's ejectable dock back in unless you remove it. But in daily use, I have no need to hide the dock on the clock. There's still a bit of a sweet spot in positioning your iPhone 4 with the bumper on, but in general - it works.

Hi Hodges ~ as you may have read above, a simple restart of our devices solved the issue. Also, iOS 4.3.2 has since been released. Try updating to that if your iPod touch will take it, and/or just the restart.
