I am not sure what is going on, but for whatever reason, certain features of the stock alarm app simply don't work. e.g the option for setting side keys to snooze does absolutely nothing! This is probably my biggest issue as the other could be written off as me doing crazy things in my tired waking up state. It has simply never functioned as it should for me. From the out of the box telco rom, to unbranded stock rom and now KA04.
The UI of the app is quite nice when setting alarms, but just terrible for actual alarms. I seem to dismiss them easily as-well :|. Somehow my partner is getting to the home-screen and opening other apps when trying to snooze (no idea how she is pulling that off though). Sonic Jump's title screen at max volume at 3 am is quite horrendous to the ears
I've set every possible setting to avoid the alarm just dismissing itself yet it's still a pretty frequent occurance.
So either, does anyone know a fix and/or are you experiencing this? OR can you recommend a really solid 3rd party replacement? I've had good experience with AlarmDroid in the past but recently on my GS2 it was having some compatibility issues. With an alarm you don't really wanna risk that it might not go off though lol.
I tried the timer once to boil eggs, it shut down as soon as I locked the screen for some reason. As soon as I unlocked the screen the timer resumed from where I'd locked the screen.
Downloaded Timer instead, it's always served me well.
Gentle Alarm is my alarm clock. Been using it for 2+ years now. love it. Love to be woken slowly by nature sounds.

I think the alarm app is buggy, agree the side button does nothing (code probably ported from another Experia and not checked) pretty poor
and when the alarm actually activates and I miss the screen slider to turn it off - when I activate the home screen and pull down the notification bar to turn off the alarm - it's not always there, the only way I can turn off the alarm is to turn off the phone

Lol well at least I'm not crazy then. You can never be sure who's fault it is that early in the morning .
no problems with alarm here except the early morning syndrome hitting the slider
I have a problem with the alarm. Say I've set up an alarm that is supposed to repeat every day of the week.
But every time I dismiss it when it goes off, it disables itself, so I have to enable it again manually in order to be woken up the next day.
does it work the same way for everybody?

I was late for work the other day because I snoozed the alarm and it didn't come back, at all!... Not Sony's fault, I had set max. number of background processes to 1, and when the lockscreen process starts, that means the launcher becomes the 1 background activity, and the clock gets bumped from memory.
Oops.

I'm having a problem where just about every morning I wake up and my phone is frozen and the home screen is showing distorted colors. Some times the interface will slightly change after touching the screen but not much else. This has been a big problem for me because for the past few days i've been late for work as I depend on my pocket alarm application to wake me up. (its the only alarm that wakes me up). I'm using Alex v5.20 CUBE rom. Any help? I've already run the google and I see a lot of cube related freezes but Im not sure if this is the case. I'm thinking its Home related.
maybe its having morning sickness hahhahahahah 0_o did you try a hard rest or going to the the setting for htc home disabling everythign soft rest and the turn it back on

Maybe it's the alarm application??? Uninstall Pocket Alarm and try the default alarm application once and see if your phone freezes the next day.
Thanks I'll try that and if it doesn't help I'll try a cleaner rom.
Tilt freezes
warm it up first
Hi,
I'm not sure if it's just Cyanogenmod or if this happens on other ROMs but everytime my alarm goes off in the morning I pick it up to disarm but before I can even look at the screen it snoozes!
If the alarm starts going off and I leave it alone on the table, I can see the options to disarm or snooze. It will keep alarming for like 2min strait, but anytime I pick it up- it automatically snoozes (when I don't want it to of course).
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? I tried going through the alarm settings to turn off accelorometer- but it has nothing of the sort.
*I also tried using the "Alarming!" app, and I have the same problems with that one too...

Around one out of every five times, my alarm just doesn't work. I wake up (on my own) and 1) the phone is pretty hot, 2) an alert that says "Upcoming Alarm" has shown up in the pulldown menu, and 3) a time that is 20-30 min ahead of the alarm was supposed to go off shows up on the right hand side of the notification. Again, this only happens around 20-30% of the time, but it's already made me miss a few important engagements. And yes, I've tried deleting and resetting the alarm as well as making sure the volume is up. Nothing works. Please help!!

Hey Bracemg do you have anything disabled/frozen/greenified etc? I have a similar intermittent issue with silent sleeping mode in moto assist. I will probably have to do a factory reset soon, just holding out for 4.4.2 update first.

Relying solely on your phone to wake you isn't the best idea....crap happens.

I've had my Turbo for a few days now, and I'm really liking the wave to snooze alarm feature, but today when I waved to snooze, instead of the screen going back off, the phone went to my homescreen, so I had to reach over, grab it and hit the power button, completely defeating the idea of touchless control. The second time it went off I noticed the unlock sound right before the alarm sound, meaning that for some reason the alarm is unlocking the phone. I tried clearing Clock data, toggling lock screen types, and rebooting the phone, but the issue still persists. The same thing happens using the active display notification to snooze. The alarm really shouldn't be unlocking the phone when snoozing, but I haven't changed any setting or installed any new apps since yesterday when it was working fine.
Edit: Factory reset didn't even stop the alarm from unlocking the phone, but I'm 100% positive it did not unlock it the first 3 days I had it.
I exchanged the Turbo for a new one as Motorola recommended, but this one is having the same problem from the get go. Is this not a problem for anybody else?

Set an alarm
Wave to snooze or swipe to snooze from active display
Does the phone unlock or turn back off? What software version?
Hi,
Love my S21 Ultra, but I have one issue that im failing to solve.
I use Google Clock, and the alarm function works perfectly - never had it fail on me.
However the countdown function doesnt go off (ie, no sound or vibrate) if I leave it running in the background with the screen off.
If I turn the screen on after its supposed to have gone off, it then goes off, with a minus number of seconds on the screen.
Ive been through all the Samsung 'background app power saving' stuff, and made sure the Google Clock app is excluded (although if it was that id expect the alarm to fail too).
Handset is the 256Mb UK Three branded one, with latest official firmware, no rooting or anything like that.
Anyone come across this please?
thanks, George
How are the Do Not Dusturb and Sound settings during these issues?
Have you exempted Google clock to allow Notifications while sound is off or when DND is activated?
