Why does my ZTE open c Firefox OS smart phone forget the wlan settings and does not ring the alarm?
Sometimes it is even enough to go outside to the waste bin to let my smartphone forget the settings for the wireless lan. When I return I have to enter the - not so short - code from my wlan router again. After that the internet connection is running as it should.
Additionally the alarm clock does not work, I can set alarms as I like, setting the volume to the max and activate also the vibration alarm but nothing happens when the preset time is arrived, even when the alarm clock is shown on the screen the whole time. Is my phone broken? Or is it a bug in my Firefox OS installation?
Where does Firefox OS store these values for wlan connection and alarm times? Is there an internal database that is maybe corrupted?

Hello Ralph,
thank you for your very long message. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this error currently because after I reset the phone everything is working well.
But I had always the most recent version that the updater installed.
So maybe it is a good idea to make a backup of all stored data and especially the contacts and do a complete reset. Currently my phone stores not only the wifi credentials at home but also in the office. And after reaching one of these locations the connection is established automatically, sometimes I have to to a restart to push it to do so. But that does not bother me.
Best regards Markus
