For some reason my alarm clock is not working at all and I've tried installing different alarm clocks thinking it would work but it doesn't which made me late to school today
Please help.
This has been happening to my cousin that has rooted phone
what does the ringtone on the alarm say? Mine changes to unknown everytime i flash, so I have to go and rechoose my ringtone.
If that isnt the problem... Wipe and reflash. Theres not much else u can do.

Yes I did and I had uninstall it....
In any case I had solved it today by reinstalling the PTravel Alarm and now it works
using cm 4.15.1 rom,i found that the alarm clock often auto close after a program run or desktop crash.
i opened taskmanager and found there's no process of alarm clock,but the next morning it sound amazing.
by the way,i also tested another state,after set a nearly time to alarm,i killed its process with taskmanager,then never happened at the time.if i didn't kill,it's normal.
so who can tell me the reason?will the process of alarm clock be hidden sometime?or something can wake up its process?
PS:i used apptosd,maybe this affect?
thx for your answer. my english is poor...
Just went back to JM1 stock after playing with JPH so I am now all stocked and official.
However I was dissapointed to discover that in JM1 there is no snooze option for the Smart Alarm mode. JPH had this (on the gentle "sunshine" screen in JPH there was a slide-to-switch off and a slide-to-snooze).
I want to stick with 2.1 for now so can anyone running JM8 tell me if the Smart Alarm has a snooze button/slider?
Thanks
Mark.
I don't think so but can I recommend "gentle alarm" from market? Best alarm app EVER

Thanks. I will try it.
Call me wierd but I do like to use stock features of a phone where possible. I only tried the Smart Alarm first time after flashing JPH and I loved it. I didn't have any problems with reliability or anything. But can't use it now on JM1 without the snooze on Smart Alarm (I'll never get up!).
I will use Gentle Alarm and when official Froyo is released I will decide wheter to switch back to the stock Smart Alarm.
BTW: Any comments on if Gentle Alarm drains much more battery overnight than the stock alarm?
Mark.
Not sure, but could you add maybe multiple smart alarms, say 10 minutes apart? that way, the first time, you switch it off, it will come back as alarm 2, and then 3 etc.
Would work fine if you wake up at the same time every day, but if it changes, then you would have to configure 2-5 alarms every time, which would get annoying.
This should be moved to Q & A, is not related to development at all.

Ahh, yes, good point. My brain was in "I just changed from a beta ROM" mode becasue it was about a feature in Froyo so that's why I put it here. Sorry.
Personally i dont see a point why we need smart alarm, a alarm that alert before another alarm? Just simple make the default alarm properly with slow ramp of the sound volume will do!

if you in theater .....you want your alarm clock still working? as if in theater..it shd be do not disturb at all...you might want to ask Google android wear developer team for this..but if i am using the theater mode, i really want no light no notification at all
Well, this morning i could verify that the alarm did not go off even in vibration-only mode, while previously working.
Thing is in theater mode alarm clock could be vibrating only, in my opinion, without screen flashing at all
Same problem here this morning, silent or theater mode disable the alarm.
Which is kind of a pain in the ass when the previous version was ok with it...
Just tried a couple free apps on the play store (wake up well and alarmclock extended) working both live a charm in theater mode, I think someone at Google just missed a bug ( or the whole purpose of an alarm clock )
Anyone else encountering issues with custom alarm sounds?
It's already been confirmed by app developers that most (all?) 3rd party alarm apps no longer work because of Marshmallow's doze deep sleep feature (more on that later). However, in moving my alarms over to the stock Marshmallow Clock app (which does work), I can't seem to bring any of my custom alarm sounds over. With previous OS versions, I just copied custom Alarm sounds to the appropriate folder in either internal or external storage (it used to be under \media\audio\) under Alarms, Ringtones, and Notifications folders. Although those folders are still present on the Nexus 6, and do work for 3rd party apps as well as stock apps like Messenger, Calendar, Phone ringtones, etc., they don't work for the stock Clock -- the only alarms that are available are the original stock ones.
So I tried to move my custom Alarm sounds to the system partition and encountered an out of space error, so I deleted some of the stock alarms and replaced them with my own. That works, but won't work for waking up to music because the music files are just too big to go on the system partition.
With regard to the 3rd party alarm clock apps no longer working, I figured out a work-around that seems to be successful so far. What happens is the alarm clock apps can't wake up the phone when Marshmallow is in doze mode (which usually happens overnight). I tried setting the app's notifications as a priority, and I also set the app to not be battery optimized, but it didn't work and the apps' developers have confirmed the same. Anyway, my work-around is to set an alarm in the stock Clock app to go off a minute before the 3rd-party app alarm does. The alarm in the stock Clock app can even be silent. What I'm guessing is happening is that the stock Clock app alarm brings the phone out of doze and it takes longer than a minute to go back into doze, so the 3rd-party alarm will sound.
Anyway, any suggestions for getting the custom alarm folders working again would be appreciated, but it sounds like it might be a genuine bug in the OS.
I have no issues with Alarm plus. It works without fail and doze doesnt effect it.
All the app developers need to do is follow the guide lines
Standard AlarmManager alarms (including setExact() and setWindow()) are deferred to the next maintenance window.
If you need to set alarms that fire while in Doze, use setAndAllowWhileIdle() or setExactAndAllowWhileIdle().
Alarms set with setAlarmClock() continue to fire normally — the system exits Doze shortly before those alarms fire.

Are you referring to Alarm Clock Plus? I can't find any app named Alarm Plus. Reviewers running Marshmallow are claiming that Alarm Clock Plus alarms are no longer working. I'm using Alarm Clock Xtreme, and the alarms are definitely not working unless I use my work-around.

No prob. I live on 3 hours of sleep a night so i need a reliable alarm clock. This one has never failed me.
Unfortunately it turns out that even Alarms Plus Millenium isn't currently working with Marshmallow. The developer replied to my email and said that he's working on an update but that until then you have to have the phone plugged in and charging for the alarms to sound. This is because Google said that the dose mode is not activated when the phone is plugged in or moving.
I still bought the app though and will be switching to using it because he's the first alarm clock developer who actually responded to me with at least some knowledge of how to fix his app to be compatible with Marshmallow. The rest of them all seemed to have no idea and no ETA on an update to fix their apps.

That would make since as I charge my device over night as I sleep. Never occurred to me that if I didn't charge it that way it wouldn't go off.

You're still better off with Alarm Plus Millennium over any of the other alarm clock apps, IMHO. I've contacted four or five of the most popular ones, and their respective devs have no idea how, when, or if they'll be able to fix their app. The Alarm Plus Millennium dev says he's about 3 days out from releasing a new version that will work. So, thanks again for recommending Alarm Plus Millennium. It didn't show up in any of my searches on the Play Store for alarm clock apps, so I would've never found it otherwise.

Yeah he is really good about that. I worked with him to kill a bug about 4 months ago. Was very responsive and willing to help. Glad you found an app that works for you.
FYI, Caynax Alarm Clock (free and pro versions) works in Marshmallow now.
