Guys,
My BA (running on WM5) has the alarm 'stuck' at a very awkward hour.
The surprising thing is that this time, 4 am, is not set on the alarm settings. And no matter what I do, it still wakes me up at 4 am.
If I set the alarm to another time, it will still get off at 4, and at the other time.
How do I sort this out?
Thanks,
Celzo
I have got the similar problem, alarm set to 8.15 AM but ringing at 9.15 AM on XDA||s. Any help?
This all started yesterday morning. I had my alarm set, woke up later than I needed to with a notification on the phone that said Alarm Turned Off After 10 Minutes, telling me the alarm had gone off for 10 minutes and was automatically turned off.
I thought it was weird so I did some digging and it turned out that NONE of my sounds were working. The volume was up, silent mode was off, but I was getting nothing whatsoever from the phone speaker. Even speaker phone wasn't working. Headphones worked fine. It seemed my speaker had blown.
Well, later in the day (as I was preparing to take it back to Verizon) it just randomly starts working again. All sounds now seem fine.
So I set my alarm this morning. And this time, it didn't even go off, at all! I woke up 5 minutes after it was supposed to go off, and when I unlocked my phone, THEN the alarm started going off. It's almost like it isn't coming our of deep sleep to sound the alarm.
Are these two issues related; the sound issue yesterday and the alarm issues both days? Has anyone else experienced this? It seems to be random...sometimes I can replicate it, other times I cannot.
There's another thread about this somewhere...try a search for "alarm". It's happened to me often enough that I can't rely on my Gnex as an alarm clock...I have to use my old SGS instead. I've also had loss of sound occasionally, but a reboot always fixes it.
Wish someone would figure out a solution, it's pretty annoying to have a bug like this in the alarm. Even the cheapest, crappiest dumbphone you can buy comes with a reliable alarm app, but my expensive smartphone does not? (and yes, I've tried other alarm apps besides the stock one...they all fail to go off intermittently.)

Thanks for the input. I use my alarm daily and this is the first time I've had this issue.
As an aside (but perhaps related issue?), my gmail app has uninstalled itself and I can't get it reinstalled. Looks like it's time for a reflash.

Yes I would reflash before you miss a flight or the interview to your dream job!
One thing I miss about my old blackberry is the alarm. Put it in the cradle and the time would dim, all notifications would turn off and the alarm would fire every time, every when the battery had been drained and switched off. Pity everything else sucked...
I've yet to have a problem.
Maybe you're getting SOD's (or close-to) in the middle of the night and the phone is having trouble waking itself up?
Try adjusting your governor and turn your undervolts up if they're enabled.
I am, however, fairly OCD about my alarms...
I reboot my phone before opening the alarm app and ONLY the alarm app...
Make sure the alarm is enabled...
And turn the screen off.
I've done this since my OGDroid days.
I also have the trusty DX as a backup...set 10 minutes later; just in case.
Hey guys. Is there any way to get around the annoying "alarm repeat" function on touchwiz's stock alarm clock? Every time I create an alarm, it automatically selects that particular day as a repeat day. I want to be able to create an alarm, let's say it's set for 8am a certain way, and be able to just go turn it on for the next morning on any particular day without having to go into edit and turn the repeat day off again. Yes, I'm aware that there are other alarm apps, that's not the question. Cheers for the feedback.

Please tell me this a is joke question.
If you want to set certain days for that particular time you simple check the days you want. If you want them days to only go off for that week unchecked repeat weekly or check weekly for every week.

Thanks for the attitude; that always helps. And that did not answer my question. If I go set an alarm with repeat weekly off and no days selected, it automatically selects the day that the alarm is next set to go off on. Now, say if I go to select that alarm time again two days later looking for it to go off the next morning, I have to go in and deselect the day that it was automatically assigned to when I created the alarm.

When you set the alarm uncheck the days you don't want. Oh yeah make sure you hit save.

Thanks, but I'm doing that, and it is behaving as I described where it automatically assigns a day to that alarm.
Please try it. Create an alarm for tomorrow Thurs at 8am, make sure all the days are not highlighted, un-check repeat weekly, hit save. Now go back to that alarm and you'll see that the day Thurs is now and will continue to be highlighted. When your alarm goes off tomorrow Thurs at 8am, and you turn it off, it is still set as a Thurs only alarm. My point is that you cannot just create a general alarm for 8am that on any random day you can go one-click enable to go off the next morning like you can with the stock android alarm. You either have to set it to go off everyday at that time or you have to go and deselect the day it was autoassigned to the last time you used it.

Look dude to set an alarm you have to give it a day or it defeat the point of creating an alarm. Not really a big deal

Yeah, I can live with it. That said, I'm always looking for convenience when I can find it. Options exhausted with the touchwiz app, I'll try another.
I just enjoyed before with my last phone with the stock android alarm app that I could go and create alarms for time slots. Like an alarm for 7, 7:30, 8, 8:30, 9, 9:30, 10, 10:30, and so on. Seeing that my waking schedule in not regular, I could just go to the alarm app and one-click the time slot I wanted to wake up the next day. Now I have an EXTRA 4 CLICKS! /sarcasm

It's been a while since I've had TW Roms, but let me try to help.
Set up an alarm for 7:30 AM. Choose repeat on all days.
Repeat step one for all times you want alarms
"Turn Off" all alarms you don't want to use. (I think you just have to click the green alarm on the side and it turns off)
Each night before you go to bed, turn on the alarm you want.
*Optional* Leave one "failsafe" alarm that you always leave on.
You can even set up widgets on one of your homescreens to turn each alarm on or off. That way it's a one-click step. Can't get much more convenient than that!

Thanks topherk. Did a little test run by setting an alarm for a minute later with the options you mentioned. Unfortunately, if you don't select "repeat weekly," you lose the day that just went off (i.e. it becomes un-highlighted), and if you do select "repeat weekly," your alarm is now set to go off everyday at that time, and thus you would have to go disable it after it went off. The later option is probably the easiest for the time slot method I'm looking for, but it has the added inconvenience of your alarm going off when you don't want it to if you forget to disable it. God knows I'm not all that sharp right when I wake up, so it happens.
Ok, so, I have noticed - and not just my tablet - but every android device I have ever had, the alarm has failed to go off in the morning, even though it's set. it will go off if you set it for a few minutes, maybe hours, but if you leave an alarm to go off by itself at an important time, it fails you. I wake up, and the notification is in my notification saying "Alarm set for xx:00 AM" and I tap it, and THEN it goes off, even saying that the alarm was set for the whatever the time was when I tapped the notification. USELESS. same thing on my phone, and my previous phone. Is this something with android or what? I need to sort this out or I am going to end up being late for something really important!
My alarm has only failed to go off if the case is closed. It's a minor inconvenience, but I just leave the case open so the alarm actually goes off.
I agree, if you are using a case with a magnet that turns your Tab screen on and off, you need to leave the cover open when using the alarm function .

Not only magnets but the cover itself turns the screen off.
Took out both magnets from the cover and still screen goes black when closing it, same story with alarm - screen needs to be uncovered to have alarm sound in the morning
Well....I did enjoy the extra hour and 1/2 sleep I got the first time I used it with the case closed!

I really think this is a major flaw on an otherwise great tab.
I have the 315 with a TPU case (no Cover).. and the alarm performs great every time. Never failed me yet..*** knock wood***
Are you guys using the built-in stock alarm clock? Download one from the Play Store. I have never had this problem on the Android platform, but then again I have never used the built-in alarm clock. I also don't use a case but I fail to see how that would make a difference.
if I set an alarm clock this always rings 1 day early. Have it tested with other apps but everywhere the same problem.
Test mine right now,everything ok
Don't have that problem either but then again I set the alarm for morning before I go to bed. I can't say that I have ever set an alarm so far ahead that it can go off a day early.
I use FreedomOS Rom. I test with stock again.
