My old phone (Windows Mobile) had an alarm clock that was junk and sometimes would not ring at all (found out the hard way). Is the alarm clock in the nexus one reliable or did it ever fail to ring for you?
Thanks.
I use it every day as my only alarm, and it hasn't failed me yet.

lol its way realiable.. i use it for work and have not miss work yet...lol so yes it is...
Ditto to what everyone else is saying pretty much. Only alarm, works like a charm.
I use it as my work alarm and it hasn't failed me yet.
This is not WM It's Android and the Alarm clock is very on target!
Thanks guys, I guess I won't have to carry a dedicated alarm clock when I travel anymore.
I'm not sure if it's still a problem, but if you have an alarm set up and your phone reboots and/or turns off, your alarm will no longer be set.
I use it every morning for work and it has worked every time. My winmo alarm failed quite a few times so I always had an alarm clock as Backup. I no longer use the alarm clock and just stick with the n1 by my bedside. And if you leave the clock app opened and long press the screen brightness icon it puts the app in night mode with a black screen and green time info. The only downside to that is that it keeps your button touch buttons lit up white.

My alarm survives reboots and shut down and restarts.

Weird, I just set the alarm, turned off the phone, and it still didn't work for me.
You're using the stock alarm?
My alarm survives reboots as well. Stock Clock App. Perhaps you Clock app is not booting on startup or is being auto-killed if you're using a task killer app?
Unlike most Nokias, the phone won't turn back on to wake you up... All Nokias, dumb or smart, do that IIRC.
The best alarm on a phone I had. It has never failed me yet.

Woops, I didn't clarify. The alarm survives reboots, it's just that it won't go off if your phone is shut down.
Do all of yours work when the phone is shut down?

Yes the lack of this feature sucks but I personally never have my phone off overnight. Im sure this isn't uncommon, but for me its because its my only phone. In emergencies I need to be available. Maybe other people turn their phones off to charge overnight, but I doubt that its common.
I doubt it will work.

So as the title says, I had an alarm set for 10am one day and since I didn't need it anymore I took it off. Well the next day at 10 am it ended up going off again. I checked to see if it was still active, but it wasn't even there.
Is this a known bug our does anyone know how to fix it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Simple question is did you restart your phone too see if it still happens. It is not a bug that I have ever seen reported. Maybe reinstall the clock and see if it still appears as a setting?
This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.
Anyone else having problems with the alarm clock?
I set 2 alarms to wake me in the morning and they dont activate until i touch the phone in the morning
I have to use a old wildfire for an alarm clock.
I also tried the AlarmDroid app from marked but it didnt work either. I tried to test the alarm in the evening one night and it worked fine. I usually charge the phone each night but that cant have affected the alarm can it ?
I have they exact same problem. Phone didn't gold off this morning until I touched they phone. Anyone got a fix for this ?

Could it be juicedefender that does something ? Gonna try killing it tonight...

Juicedefender or a taskkiller probably killed the clockapp
Exclude clock app or stop using taskkillers

it is juicedefender. had the same problem on my sgs i9000.
I had the same problem, but i don't use any taskkiller ...
I have experienced it too. But only once. No taskkiller, root, custom rom or anything weird.
This phone is far from finished for release!
I tried this once and did not figure out the problem. It has not done it for about 2 weeks now.
Thinks the problem was my lockscreen app maybe.

Alarm worked today. Guess it was juicedefender.

Mine worked this morning (Running on Pauls FR8)
Another user on a danish forum experienced the same thing as I did:
One day the alarm just did not work.
No juicedefender, taskkiller, custom lock screen, root, custom rom. Just plain stock LG.
Neither of us was able to reproduce the problem. So it is not very likely that your lockscreen, juicedefender or whatever is responsible. Otherwise it is very easy to check. Reinstall juicedefender etc. and verify that it indeed prevents the alarm from working.
had a similar problem.
have to make some more test but maybe the problem is "flight mode".
When the phone was set into flight mode the alarm clock doesn't work.
If i let the network connected it worked.
will test it for some days to see if i can reproduce it.

Mine fortunately went off this morning. It was on charge at the time too and had been all night... Amazed it hadn't crashed or something! haha! Bloody thing scared me ****less though. These O2Xs are much louder than my little Hero.
my 2x alarm works great in flight mode..

very strange. some solutions or some informations from LG ?
thx net
Same issue for me.
With v10a and with v10b, in a totally random way
It's a real pain, because I ever need something different to wakeup.. especially when I'm out of my home.
If you have an alarm that can't wakeup you when it's needed (and you can't know when it don't ring!) is totally and really useless!
Anyone found the trick?
I've tested it many times.. but no way. I can't find the magic combination.
It's not a taskkiller issue, it's not a app issue, it's not am hard reset issue..
The only state I need to try is:
- Phone with a partially discharged battery.
- Connected to the socket for a night charge session
- Airplane mode
- Manually locked
Could the system have killed the process to gain resources? (Do you have a ****load of running apps?)
No memory issue, I think.
I put my phone in airplane mode when sleeping, with a task killer (system process and some apps in exclusion - included the alarm process) that run every 30mins.
I suppose that we have an issue linked to some system process that wait for an user input or that simply lock the system for a strange reason.
I'm aiming to the message box that appear when the phone is under charge and it reach the 100%: "battery charged, disconnect it to save energy [ OK ]".
Something like.. screen locked, the phone stop charging, message pop up.. and than the message box take the full control of the system, waiting user input.. without system messages processing ; so not an app related issue but a system bug, related to this specific message. It's possible?
Everytime the alarm not fired, I noticed the clock was not updated and that it updated itself immediately after unlocking (and the alarm fired if the alarm time is not so far).
what do you think?
Had the same problem, stock rom V10A with Launcherpro.
No other system/utilities apps running.
But interestingly, it only happened once (1st day of using O2x). The alarm went off fine the next few days.
This is my first post/question.... ever here, so go easy on me. I've been searching the interwebs and can't seem to find anything similar to my problem.
As background (may not mean anything), a few days's ago I downloaded the new Bitspin Timely alarm clock after news of Google's purchase. At some point I made it the default clock when Google Now asked for the program to use when setting an alarm. I swear the alarm worked once or twice before all of this, but can't remember now.
Whatever happened, my morning alarm doesn't go off on time. Its always about 25 min late (sometime after I've woken the phone from daydream). I even tried switching back to the regular alarm clock, and it wont go off in the morning on time. Uninstalled Timely, still no dice.
The kicker is that when I test it during the day, everything works perfect. It's like the phone goes in to such a deep sleep (that's a thing, right?) overnight that it just doesn't catch the time in the morning. Thankfully I have a decent internal clock and have had the privilege of just watching the time pass the alarm time and nothing happen. My other thought was that maybe its related to Moto Assist. I set the do not disturb, but its set to end well before my alarm goes off. I've cleared its data and disabled that for tonight to see what happens.
I REALLY don't want to factory reset. And I can't root to use some of the detailed monitoring apps because my company makes us use that stupid Good for Enterprise.
Anyhow, if anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate it.
Haven't tried out my alarm clock yet but will set it up for tonight and see what happens. Hope that it works or I'll have to buy an alarm clock for my dorm room.

I'm just throwing this out there. Under Settings > Date and Time> is Automatic time chosen? Is the correct time zone chosen? Is it off by 25 minutes to your time vs you set it at 0600 and it goes off 0625?.
When in doubt try clearing the App Data and try again. I'd suggest testing the alarm before going to bed of course I use Timley too and have no real issues with it yef

I thought I had this fixed... worked perfect the night after I cleared cashe/data from the clock, timely, and moto assist. I even disabled the quiet time on the moto assist app. Worked great through Tuesday, but then yesterday it was 4 min late, then 35 min today. Its also a bit strange that when I look at the Timely widget, it was a little under a min behind the system time. I'm sort of at a loss at this point. Would this be software, or possibly hardware?

just curious what's wrong with the built-in alarm clock? i've been using it since it's been bundled with android and it works great.
I love the stock alarm clock as well. I should have been more clear with the issue. I tested both the stock and Timely alarms and both seem to suffer the same issue. So I don't think my problem is with the app itself, but rather however the alarms work.

I've been using Alarm Clock Plus (paid) and haven't had any problems with it setting off alarms at the set time.
I've been using Timely and the stock alarm with no issues on a nightly basis. It seems odd that yours isn't going off on time. Timely and the stock clock are always in sync on my Moto X. It sounds to me that you have no other choice but to try a factory reset. There is a glitch in the system somewhere.
Resurrected
I hate to resurrect an old, dead thread, but consider this one resurrected. I just had this exact same problem occur with my Samsung Note 2. The alarm went off late, (both stock alarm clock and Timely), and it's incrementally getting worse. I'm running an unofficial version of Lollipop, but the alarms worked perfectly up until this weekend.
Anyone have a solution, yet?

I was having this problem. Thought it was Amplify or Greenify. Tried everything. Then..... I discovered that somehow DayDreams was turned on. I turned it off and it immediately solved the issue for me.
Unfortunate
That is truly unfortunate to hear, as I use Timely and my clock with the Daydream function of Android every day. I dock my phone, and Daydream immediately kicks in the Timely clock as my sleeping screen saver. I will test this out to see if it's the problem.
Is there a way to get the alarm clock reliable or another app that may be? Mine hadn't gone off ina week and the wife's one is very spuratic

Thanks, I've been trying to dig on this one, me and my wife gave the same phones mines rooted and gets is bone stock, we've both gotthis issue, how's battery with that app....
From what I've been reading this is a common HTC issue it seems....but doesn't effect all....I dunno what to do any more
I use the stock alarm 5 days a week and have never had a time it didn't go off. Granted, sometimes I wake up before it has the chance to go off.

battery life doesn't appear to be any different using the alarm clock xtreme. I'm not sure if it's a common issue because I tested the stock alarm clock and it works fine for me as well. I set it to go off 2 mins after my main alarm clock to test.
What I like about xtreme is it has a large snooze button, so I don't mistakenly hit the dismiss button lol and you can set it to snooze if you shake the phone.
Strongly recommend Alarm Klock

It has repeating alarms and can turn the volume up when the alarm goes off (just in case you silenced your phone).
And it is free (without ads too)!

You have to make sure to select the days(s) you want it to repeat. The original default alarm presets only have M-F selected and ignore the weekends.
Another thing I see people forgetting is to remember to select AM or PM correctly.
