Ever since I got my Pixel 4 XL I've been having trouble with the alarm clock extreme free app staying on and waking me up when it's supposed to. The alarm gets killed in the background because of Android 10. I have every imaginable setting set for it supposedly to make sure it doesn't get killed in the background but everyday it never wakes me up because it never runs. Does anybody else have the app and have a solution for this because email support isn't helping right now. I use the app because it has a crescendo alarm that slowly wakes me up and I don't know of any other apps that have the same thing that are customizable like this app is. Otherwise I would probably switch to one that works. Hopefully some of you have the app and are using it successfully and can give me a solution to why it keeps shutting off when the phone is asleep. Thank you for your help in advance.
I used that app in the past but stopped after reports of its developer tracking users and other security concerns... but have you tried changing the app's battery optimization to "not optimized?" Changing to "not optimized" is my first go-to fix for anything that acts weird.
Changed everything that was related to battery or optimization but it's still not working. If there was another alarm app on the play store that had crescendo alarms I would change to that one. So far I don't see any like that though.

Timely has crescendo alarms, but I've noticed similar behavior as you're describing with yours. I just started using the stock clock app for mine until I find a different solution.
In case you haven't considered it -- Android 10 also introduced "adaptive battery" where you can add or remove apps under the "restricted apps" section.

That's one of the first things I checked. It wasn't restricted. If it was I could have blamed the alarms not going off on that lol.
got it. figured i'd try. it's the first thing I do nowadays when I do a fresh install... ie turn off battery optimization on important apps, like google voice and gmail.
alternate solution in case others haven't mentioned it... the stock android clock does have a 'gradually increase volume' option - but it's an app-wide option... not specific to each alarm. I use the stock clock and it works consistently... it's never missed an alarm.

I would definitely use the stock clock to ensure compatibility but it only goes up to 60 seconds for gradually raising the alarm. I need at least 5 minutes of gradual sound so I don't throw my phone across the room lol

I'm currently running EnergyRom3.0 series (i believe the 6.05.2009 version) and for some reason every single day at 11:11am and 11:18am the alarm will go off?
obviously there is no alarm set either of those times and all alarms that are set are turned off anyways..I have checked both the Manila alarm settings, as well as through settings/clocks and alarms...both are the same and neither have any alarm set for that..
I've searched around and it seems this is known as a "phantom alarm" that used to occur on older 6.0roms? Either way, the only fix/bandaid was to use SK Tools to clear duplicate notifications..well SK tools isn't free and I don't particularly want to pay for an app that might not fix this..
Other than reflashing, does anyone have an idea how to clear this alarm??
Any help will be greatly appreciated..this is beginning to drive me crazy as every day at work it sounds..even when the phone is on silent..I suppose I temp fix it by setting the notifications to not play sound when phone is on silent but would prefer to perm fix/clear this..
Thanks in advance!
check your calendar. Maybe you have a notification set to everyday and set to remind you.

just checked to confirm and nothing there..i have never used the calendar and it is just a standard alarm that goes off..same tone and snooze/dismiss options as any normal alarm i just cant turn it off...
That sometimes happens when you mess up your database.
Did you restore any data from an earlier backup?
Try to set all of your alarms first, then unset them. Sometimes that works.
There are programs to edit the notification queue, delete duplicate alerts and so on. Try to google some and give it a try.
Good luck!
nope no back up done, just a fresh flash and activesync when it was done..
i also do set all 3 alarms everyday..i just have a few more unwanted one that also go off..the alarms sounds even if all other alarms (note different times too) are set to off..
also today, for some reason all text messages i recieve are said they were recieved an hour prior, well coincidentally my random alarm went off an hour earlier too...
i will see what i can find as far as freeware goes..
thanks
This star appeared in my status bar overnight. I have not installed any new apps. Anyone else ever seen this?

Pretty sure you have volume set on priority only
After some searching around, found it.
It's a lollipop feature called "interruptions" which allows you to decide what app notifications can interrupt you. I had apparently set it to custom. I set the default back and the star disappeared.
By the way, when I say I haven't installed any apps, or I'm confident that it's not my apps, it's not an app.
That is the priority notifications only icon. See here. Check which one you have selected.

oh, i just tried that, and it put a star there. i didnt know that, thank you.
I still don't quite understand the feature, but at least the notification is gone

It's like an alarm feature. Only notifications from the people you've prioritised will show.

How it works......
You set days and times that you don't want something to happen, phone calls, texts, notifications. Example.... I have mine set for 7 days, 930p-630a, to only allow starred contacts to call or message me. If someone not starred messages or calls me, my phone will not ring, allowing me to watch movies, sleep, whatever, uninterrupted.
Sent from my Nexus 6
Do this;
Star the contact for your wife, parents, etc., and NOT your boss. Set downtime for nights and weekends. Now your work can't bother you at night or on weekend.
Admin or OP: Please change the thread subject.
My previous phone was the SGS 4 in the Alarm you could make it location based. So the alarm you set would only go off at a predefined location and time. I used it at work for my break time and when it was time to go home. The N6 does not do this out of the box well at least that I can see anyway. Does anyone know an app I can get that does this I have checked the app store and can not find one?
My previous phone was also a SGS 4 and I was completely unaware of this lol. Have you tried using Google Now? I know it's supposed to be able to sound an alarm when you reach a destination (i.e. wake you up at your bus stop) so I would imagine it should also be able to create an alarm at X time at work.
Well now you have me wondering if I installed an app that enabled that to work that way. I did find this one Alarm Clock Gps but you can not dismiss the alarm so it keeps on going off. The app author is looking to add an auto dismiss but not sure if iy will work the way I want it to.
It would appear that 4.4.2 was the last version with this wonderful feature. What idiot decided it was a good idea to remove it? Sheesh.
Is anyone else getting extremely delayed notifications on their Asus ROG Phone 2? I have noticed that notifications are taking about 10-15 minutes to finally pop up on the phone. If I go in to the apps, such as Google Voice, 2FA apps, PushBullet, Visual Voicemail, Outlook, GMail, etc... I see the information in the app, but the notifications still take a long time to actually pop up in the notification tray.
I had that happen in the beginning then I disabled all app manager stuff other than stock android battery optimization. So I disabled all the asus auto disable or mobile manager stuff. Just dig in the settings and fiddle around with it. I think the phone is still new so no one has a clear answer yet.

I'm having an issue where I don't get notifications from any apps unless they are big like Facebook/Messenger and What's App... Anyone now how to resolve this?
I've allowed the apps to auto-start, they are not being optimised by the battery, all notifications are active but still not getting anything..?

Do you know what the latest version is? I can't find anywhere that confirms the latest one. I'm currently on WW 1908.12-0?
I realized that when I change some settings in ColorOS it magically changes back without telling you.
I installed Google Assistant from the app store. It required Google Assistance to be selected as the default Assistive App [default value : none]. After I changed that.. it changes back at some random amount of time.. I'm not able to work out how long it takes for it revert the setting.. but sure enough it will.
Another App is LastPass.. It requires me to Enable Autofill from accessbility Options.. Once again I turn it ON.. after some random amount of time it will revert it back to "Off"...
What can be done to stop this from happening?

Happens to some degree in the EU model too,noticed the lastpass app autofill stops amongst other things. Am thinkin maybe it's the Phone Manager app which I think kills battery intensive apps if you allow it

I'll give this a try.. I've gone into phone manager -> startup manager and allowed the two apps.. the two apps wasn't there even though I have allowed the app to run in the background.
We will see tomorrow.
Nope that didn't work.. anyone else have other suggestions? Anything to remove delete or hack?

Man,I don't know what the issue is but read on the Realme community that the OS just reverts to defaults to ensure proper functioning of the phone,
ColorOS is certainly the biggest downside to this phone. Am missing OxygenOS on my 6T a lot though I'm Gona stick with the x2 pro for now,
Bought the phone for its flagship specs and storage and and to get away from the hassle of messing around with the phones setting's with tricks and mods.
Have decided to just accept colourOS for what it us.,though there is some battery drain,it's not awful and I'm still getting notifications.
Will just have to hope things improve with updates and the next big update should improve things a lot,mind you,it's a long way to April ?
Not notice anything revert on mine... This sounds like the same issue I had on the mi 9... I can't remember how I solved it but it was something to do with the auto security checks the phone manager app did... After a set amount of time the phone manager would perform certain checks and reset certain options throughout the operating system.

Sounds about right,Have feeling the phone manager app has something to do with it.It does not like the developer options
Ok.. I found my work around for now.
I'm using tasker every 10 mins to change the accessibility options for all the apps that need it and set the google assistant to default.
Working ok so far for the last day.

Seems like more trouble than its worth,the only settings I'm having trouble keeping are the animation ones, but honestly it's not bothering me anymore. Have animations setting set to fast in the stock launcher setting and it's not so bad.
Didn't think lastpass was working but it has been appearing to autofill login to sites in a chrome
Did anyone found a solution? Im having this issues too...
