Why do the application icons sometimes not work when an alarm is snoozed?
When the task list is being displayed the application icons are disabled. If an alarm goes off while the task list is being displayed and the user selects ‘Snooze’ the application icons are disabled and won’t allow the user to switch away from the alarm screen. The solution is to press ‘tab’ to switch away from the Alarm screen. You can then close the task list and switch applications as normal. Although not listed on the Alarm screen, pressing ‘tab’ when the alarm as sounding will snooze the alarm for 5 minutes and remove the alarm screen.
