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.

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 I have been using my phones as an alarm clock for many many years now. I do it the same way every night. I go into the alarms and change the time and press save. BUT with my 2.2 update, instead of saving for the next day, it saves the alarm as that time but a week away. Its like the day counter doesn't move. I almost missed class this morning because I forgot to move the day I needed the alarm for so I woke up to no alarm 10 minutes before class and seeing my alarm set for next Tuesday.
Anyway...am I missing something?? Or is this a but that others have noticed. It is hard to remember to set the day when I have never had to do this before.

Same with me, seems the clock got messed up with 2.2. The day doesn't change when I choose the alarm. Also, it's happened before where I have the right day (it says alarm will go off in 8hrs etc.) but when I wake up the alarm is still set, but now for 7 days from now... It is very annoying, and I can't rely on it now.
So when you created the alarm, did you set the alarm repeat to be daily? Just a thought otherwise the default is a one-time event and when you resave it will bump a week.
i dont want it as a daily alarm...if i go in and set the alarm time, and press save, it should update the day also. It has been that way for years of setting alarms on many different phones, and now that i updated to 2.2 it doesn't update the day. Why would i want to set an alarm for a week away? haha
You don't make it active on the days you don't want it. A one-time event sees that the time is past and makes it a week later. Don't ask me, complain to the coder. lol

a one time alarm on 2.1 worked perfect and exactly as expected. I shouldn't have to make a new one-time alarm OR change the day OR set it as a daily. I wake up at different times almost everyday. No offense, but i don't need instructions on how to set up my alarm!
i know how it works and how it should work, i'm asking if anyone else is having the problem.
I dont have this problem.
I do have a related problem. Its called a job. And I use my phone as my alarm to wake up every weekday morning at the same time. my alarm works great. Since I do not use it for a one-time alarm, it must have something to do with that.

cool man
Here's a description of the change:
On 2.1, clicking on a past "one time alarm" would change the day automatically to the following day, so the alarm worked for the morning you activated it on.
On 2.2, clicking on a past "one time alarm" won't change the day automatically to the following day, so the alarms' day must be set manually for the next morning.
Anyways, does someone have the 2.1 clock apk that they can upload here that we could try, and see if that's the problem?
This does not seem to be an across the board issue. Im one that does not have the issue.

I flashed back to JH7 today. Posted for your amusement!
Ehh, the 2.1 Clock doesn't work with 2.2 from just replacing it, oh well... Maybe they'll fix it with the final build.

Figured as much, system apps have to be different. Worth a try!
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.

Tried to download timely but it just says downloading...Won't go further...
Received the P4XL yesterday and set it up. Put up an alarm in the morning but the phone crashed in the night and no alarm ring in the morning.
the phone Was half alive, App drawer worked but wasnt able to start any apps (only Black or blank screen). After reboot all the missed alarms showed up.
Anyone else noticed something like this?
I've had this happen with my Pixel 3 and other phones.
It doesn't even have to be a crash, it can be as simple as a reboot. It seems that Android's alarm scheduling doesn't kick in until the phone is first unlocked after a restart, so if anything causes your phone to restart overnight, no alarm. I've been late for work more than once because of this.
Samsung phones in particular let you schedule a weekly automatic restart for maintenance purposes; on all my Samsungs I have to make sure to schedule it for a night where I never need to have an alarm go off the next morning.
I have also had bugs with Do Not Disturb blocking alarms even though I set it not to. It's rare, but it happens.
I have been using phones as my alarm clock for years, but it's always a bit of a gamble. So many things can go wrong.
Hi all,
My alarm keeps going off at the same time even though I've turned it off. I'm the clock settings all alarms are off. I think an old alarm might have been restored drum backup from my Samsung account when I first got the phone. Is there a way to disable the rogue alarm. Please help as I really don't want to factory reset the phone.
Thanks!!
Can anyone help with this. I reset all settings and it still goes off.
Did you try to just clear the data and cache of the Clock/Alarm app and start over again with the app?

Does the alarm provide any context? Like what it's for? Can you take a screenshot next time it goes off? Also, go to recent apps as soon as you snooze the alarm and see what process called the alarm. If it's the clock app, you have to dig into it and find the alarm.
Next time the alsrm goes off, don't dismiss it. Snooze it instead and try finding the process that triggered it.
Give us some more info brother, so we can try to figure this out...
it should go away after you clear cache and data for the clock app
Maybe it's a different clock app. See if you've installed another one

You have a ghost alarm too?
Hi all,
My alarm continues going off at the equal time despite the fact that i've grew to become it off. I'm the clock settings all alarms are off. I suppose an antique alarm could haveKodi nox been restored drum backup from my Samsung account after I first were given the smartphone. Is there a way to disable the rogue alarm. Please assist as I absolutely do not want to manufacturing facility reset the telephone.
Thanks!!
Mine does this, but with work.. At least 5 of them go off at around 6am... lol. Jokes aside though.
Have you guys checked your calendar app? Maybe you've accidentally set an event that goes off every day? Or something went wrong with the Google/Samsung account sync or whatever its called and its created an event for every day.
A good choice is the Wooden Digital Alarm Clock with Wireless Charging from JALL. The fact that it can set three alarms at once makes me very happy. As a result, I don't have to rely on just one person to set the alarm for my partner and myself.
Clear system cache.
If it persists use Device Care>memory to try to spot it. If you know what time it goes off, hit Clean Now a minute or two before it goes off and see what loads.
SOLVED for me. This was driving me nuts as well. My S20 goes off every 6 a.m. Investigated and it turns out there is this "new" feature called Modes and Routines. Go to Settings > Modes and Routines > Sleep (or other mode set) > Turn on Automatically > Sleep Schedule. Long press the schedule and delete it. You can probably set it for a later time or play around with the sleep settings, but deleting it entirely works.
SOLVED....I was having the same issue, when I got my Galaxy Watch 5 and set my morning alarm for work during the week, some how a 5am alarm got set to go off during the weeknds. I went into settings and then went to modes and routines and turned off the automatic alarm and that fixed the issue
