Hello everyone. I noticed recently that my alarm application has been acting very odd lately. I have alarms set to go off every weekday, at the same exact time each day, but the little icon in the status bar is constantly disappearing. Sometimes I can catch it flickering on and off, but most of the time I just do not have the icon at all. My alarms are becoming hit or miss as well. Sometimes they will go off, and sometimes they will not. Any thoughts? I saw a thread once about apps possibly canceling my alarm, but I cannot think of any that would be (unless the new Pandora app does?).

Do you guys often find that the alarm notification icon sometimes disappears for no reason?
Yeah, mine comes on and goes off for no apparent reason. Have looked at all the setting but have not found a solution. Not a deal breaker though since there are so many other alarm apps on the market, although it would be good to get the stock on working reliably.
no issue with mine. i purchased mine 8 days ago and i use the alarm every day with no issues so far. i am running the bell rom and am rooted
This happens with mine as well, but no issue of the alarm not coming on at the correct time.
this happens to me too!! i've my morning alarm set for 7am all weekdays. however, whenever i turn off the phone, or after an one-week cycle, the notification icon would disappear.
Although it still indicates that the alarms are "on" when i look at all alarms within the Clock app, i just get paranoid that i wont go off the next day (since the notification icon disappears and the lock screen does not indicate an alarm is active).
does anyone know a fix to this?? please help!
I just moved to my S3 from my E4GT. I loaded all my programs and now I get this random notification tone every so often. It could happen at different times, 15 minutes, 1 minute, 18 minutes between each tone. The thing that is driving me crazy is it doesn't have any icon in the task bar letting me know what program is doing this. I have checked through every program that I can think of and none of them has this particular tone and I know they all have a task bar icon. The newest app I installed around this time was Falcon For Twitter, but I have put it silent notifications and also changed the tone and it appears it is not from this app.
Ugh, I don't want to uninstall one app at a time, but it might come to that.
what does the tone sound like?
Turn off Auto-Sync for a while and see if that stops it. It seems like I heard a similar sound when I first installed this ROM, but I always turn auto sync off to save battery and I haven't heard it since.
Did you check the email app?
Of it only happens on WiFi check to see if you have the box labeled check for internet connection under advanced in wifi, if your internet drops I.e. still connected but it doesn't have and download it will alert you

I finally found it. When Yahoo mail updated it turned on notifications. I thought I shut it off but it only turned off the visual notification not the audio.
Hello,
When I set an alarm in the clock app, for example to 6:30am, when I press save, the alarm will show as 6am in the alarm list but still goes off at the right time. Not really a big issue but a little annoying that it shows the wrong time in the alarm list.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue.
Cheers guys.
I had the same problem and it turns out that the auto time zone had set me to the wrong zone, hence the 30 minute issue, even though the wrong time zone was 1 hour difference not 30 minutes
Anyone else having issues with their alarm clock on the Fire Phone? In the morning, the alarm will go off (which is a good thing) but I can't turn it off (Which is a bad thing). I've been having to turn the phone off completely to shut it down. Most of the time, the screen will come on giving me the option to swipe to turn it off or snooze, but swiping doesn't work. Some times, the screen does not even give me those options. I downloaded a different alarm app, but am having the same issue.
Ironically I've had this same problem and it was possibly after freezing certain system apps for more memory. The only solution I've found as opposed to rebooting the phone is holding down the home button which triggers voice input and stops the alarm.
Hope this helps.

I almost missed work today! My alarm went off for like 1 second and then shuts itself off. I'm wonder if Next lock screen has anything to do with it. I have to play with it later tonight. This is kind of unacceptable.
I was not able to reproduce the issue again this evening (even though it happened with both my morning alarms) and I seem to have made things worse. Messing around with LockScreen.apk and LockScreenPreviewer.apk, my screen no longer turns on when the alarm sounds. I have to unlock the phone and go into the alarm's notification menu to stop it.
Also, I managed to accidentally delete my backup of /system/priv-app/LockScreen.apk. The one in /system/app/LockScreen.apk doesn't work when I put it in priv-app and update-fire-phone-35.4.6.3_user_463001620.bin doesn't even have a /system/priv-app/LockScreen.apk.
EDIT:
Screw it. I moved over to 4.6.3. Problem solved. I'm back on the standard horrible lockscreen for now. But at least the alarm seems to be working again.
Hi everyone! I love this phone, a bit buggy tho. Even though I've disabled and deleted all alarms from my clock app, the alarm icon won't disappear from my status bar, even after restarting. First time I've seen this in years of android. Any thoughts?
Update: It was my Bose sleep buds app, which is also a little buggy, had to force stop it. My last phone hid the notification, I now know Bose uses a system alarm.
