Hey Guys,
strange problem:
I use "Gentle Alarm" as my daily alarm clock.
Usually I'm loading my phone during night and there is no problem.
But on sunday I didn't charge the phone (as I had enough power left) and in the morning the alarm clock DIDN'T work.
Anyone here who've noticed this, too?
Best regards,
Daniel

Yes. I experienced this with AlarmDroid the other day.
I _think_ it's related to Stamina mode - the app is probably idled so much it cannot wake up the phone.
I disabled Stamina and it worked (coincidence, I don't know), but adding it to the list of apps in the Stamina dialog (under settings) should do the trick, as well (again: I guess).
Let us hear how it works out - missing an alarm is no good!
Yeah would also guess it's stamia. I always put the alarm app in the list of apps to ignore stamia.
Ha - adding it in the Stamina list did the trick!!!
Thanks guys!!!

Indeed it's crucial!
Another thing I noted with Gentle Alarm and the Z3 Compact is that the volume is rather low.
When I do the Colue Calibration, the first low sound is almost inaudible, even at MAX settings.
This also means the alarm starts way too low, never happened on other devices.

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.

Hi everyone, This is my first ever post on a forum like this so please be gentle with me.
I love my new LG 4X HD and at night I set the "quiet time" to run from 11:30pm until 7:30am. My problem is that it mutes the phone correctly from 11:30pm, but in the morning it remains stuck on mute long after the 7:30am threshold. Every morning I have to de-activate the "quiet time" manually. Anyone else had this experience? Am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I have noticed this happen sometimes, but not every morning. I haven't tried to track it down, but suspect it may be caused by using an alarm before the quiet time is set to finish and stopping the alarm with the volume buttons. May be worth checking it out - I'm not normally awake enough when my alarm goes off to think about trying to troubleshoot a small problem with my phone.
Anyone noticed that when quiet time is active the phone vibrates even when there is no notification?

No, because I always disable vibration in my settings.
Under Quiet Time there is a separate setting for vibration during quiet time - check that is not ticked.

Thanks Simon. I don't think it's caused by the alarm going off before the quiet time finishes because, at least at weekends, my alarm is set for after quiet time ends. Also I use the "phone flip" to snooze the alarm (I love that feature!).
Thanks anyway for your reply. If you think of anything else or have an eureka moment on this, please let me know.
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.
Guys got a strange problem, wonder if anyone could help. Every morning at exactly 5.00 am for the last week my xperia sounds a bleep for 30 second. I have no alarms set and the beep sound it not and of my default sounds. There is no notification or anything on the screen to accompany the alarm. I am running Clock plus in Daydream at night with the phone in a charging dock, stock ROM.
Did a factory reset and restore yesterday - and at 5.00 am this morning exactly the same thing happened. Any ideas ? Is there at system log I can check on a non-rooted 10.4.1.B.0.101?
Try uninstalling Clock plus daydream and see if it still happens. That's all I can suggest.

No, no timers running and its nothing to with Clock plus. With try minus Daydream tonight - if I reset the phones clock to force the alarm nothing happens but it still occurs every real 5.00 am.

I have the same problem on my iPhone 5. Every morning the phone alarmed at 8:15 for several seconds. I found the alarm comes from a new app I download. So I deleted it , the problem was solved. You can check the websites or apps you used recently.
This is getting crazy. Factory reset, no non stock apps installed and it still happens every morning. I have also realised the sound - a triple beep stop triple bleep that goes on for 20-30 seconds is not any of the tones/alarms/notifications available on the phone.
This problem sound odd as hell, just as odd as the fact your account is from bloody 2006 and you haven't posted until now, lol. That's 8 years, man :|
Sorry for useless post.

That's because I search before I ask, so far never had any need to ask !
This is a long shot, but are you entirely sure you don't have an alarm clock hidden away somewhere in a bedside drawer or something? That triple beep sounds like it could be a normal alarm clock.
Or one of your friends pulling your leg and hidden an alarm clock under your bed, perhaps?
can you show me the screenshots of the apps currently running.
go to settings->apps->swipe left select cached procsses/and running processes both and post a screenshot here i think that should point us to a particular app..waiting for your reply...
Hi
Mi5 64gb, recently purchased and just upgraded to the miui7 latest update that prevents Android Pay from working ( bah!)5. Everything fine with it apart from the clock alarm in the morning. It wakes me up on time, but does not show the clear/snooze option and I can't turn it off.
My guess is that my "night clock" app is hogging the screen and the alarm snooze screen is indeed "underneath" but not accessible.
Anyone got any tips on how to use a night clock - happy to pay for one - that plays nicely with the system alarms ?
Cheers
I'm having a much worse issue than this my alarm just doesn't go off another forum suggested using the stock charger which worked for one day but not since?
