Hi There,
I've generally been pretty impressed with my Le2 X527, as it's been my daily driver for over 2.5 years now!
In the past few weeks, I've noticed a couple of issues but the most irritating one is that the alarm no longer wakes the phone in the morning and I simply cannot trust it?
My normal routine is to switch off the phone at night, then it turns itself on in the morning and wakes me from my slumbers....:fingers-crossed:
It's not doing that anymore, I've deleted all previously saved alarms but still the same problem, any ideas?
I just tried installing "timely", set the alarm, then turned the phone off. No Alarm.
Tried stock alarm with phone left on, alarm works.
Seems that there's a problem with waking the phone up now?

My Tilt is waking up every night around 12:25 am. Since I also use it as my pager, I have to leave it accessible. It sits in a desktop charger. Hence, the light shines in my face and wakes me up (the backlight is turned down at night, but it's still enough).
So, why is it waking (me) up? Is it time for me to pee? Is it thirsty?
I don't see any running appts or anything that would cause this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Turn it over!!
Soz....
while charging if you press the power button ( for standby) the light will be off but it will still be in use. It wil come out of the standby as soon as there is some message or call
^ word.

Ehm... so what you are saying that he is getting called or gets a text EVERY night at 12:35 am? thats a bit obvious isnt it?
My tilt wakes me up every night but the reason is cause I'm addicted to flashing the phone lol

Nothing nefarious here...
I am not receiving any texts or calls at that hour. Emails do not wake the device day or night. There are no "notifications" that need to be cleared. I had spb Time running, but deleted it (I think it was slowing things down). Sprite runs nightly at 10pm.
Is there any other place where something may be scheduled?
By the way, not that it's related, but my old Treo (years ago, 600 or 650, can't remember) had a flaw where it would wake up every night at exactly 1:30 a.m. or something. This turned out to be a system flaw that was present on everyone's device.
I had a similar problem a year ago or more.
It woke me up very early a couple of times and I was to tired to check out why.
It turned out that If I created full day events, the default reminder time was 18 hours before as default, so it woke me up at 06.00.
So now when I create full day events with reminder, I have to set it to f.ex. 10 hours before.
And I still haven't figured out where to change the default value from 18 to 10 in outlook.. Pretty annoying.
P.S. If you are using push mail and you don't want to get mail during a period. Go into Active Sync -> Menu -> Scheduling. And define a day and nigh sync. So it doesn't check mail during nighttime.
Still happening nightly. I'm half delirious whenever it happens, but I think the actual time is 01:45 or so.
I do not have any events like you described in my calendar. I am not using push email.
Any other suggestions?

Check with your power company. Maybe they are switching power grids about that time and it causes a 'brown-out'? The phone will always spring to life from sleep if the charge is removed then replaced.
In my area, this happens at around 00:30, somtimes OK, sometimes all the power drops for a split second.
I assume you mean the alarm goes off by itself? (It is possible to set alarms that only use the light, no sound.) I had this problem; the first day I got my Kaiser I stayed up late playing around with it and tested the alarm at around 2:45 am before going to sleep. The following two nights, even though I no longer had this 2:45 alarm in the clock settings, the Kaiser woke me up during the night, but I was too tired to check what was going on.
I remembered it was probably 2:45 am when the night alarms went off, so I figured my earlier alarm was somehow running in the background. What I did was, set a new alarm at 2:45 am, on the same slot that the old 2:45 was on (the first slot), set it on all weekdays, then toggle it on and off. I was hoping this would somehow ovrewrite/reset the information about the "ghost alarm", and I guess it did, since the Kaiser no longer goes berserk during the night.
Maybe there is some sort of bug or illogical functionality with the dismiss/snooze system in the alarms? Since the Kaiser has been around for a while I thought someone else would have run into it & figured it out.
my kaiser sometiems wakes up by itself too - i reckon theres some ackground task or process running that touches something inside and that wakes the device up - i dont know what causes it or why - simplest thing ive found is to literally just cover it up - bit 'hacky' but it does me fine - im not bothered if it does wake up just so long as it doesnt wake me up!
cant beleive you guys get nightly brown-outs - thats just crap - doesnt happen in this country
I have SGS - official f/w 2.1 via KIES.
In UK on an unlocked phone, with Vodafone SIM.
Set alarm (standard clock) ... and it does not work if phone switched off ! .... i.e works OK if phone is switched on ... but not if phone is off, which is normally how I would leave phone overnight.
I amazed, my 14 yr old Nokia does this no problem ! ..... I googled around and on some other Samsung phones you can fix it under profiles ... but can't find a solution for SGS .
This seems a significant bug, or at least an oversight - can't belive anyone would design it to work like this on purpose.
Any work around ?
Even with my SGS turned on, 4 times out of 5 the alarms do not go off. I think the alarms have a bug.
Probably you have a task killer ending the alarm.
the phone must be on for the alarm to function .
the alarm cant switch on the galaxy s , says it in the manual
Alarm Bug

Happened to me this morning as well alarm comes on but no sound,i called my phone and volume works....
I don't have that issue but i recommend you try another alarm app such as "Alarm clock plus" is a good choice.
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?
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, I've had my Redmi Note 10 Pro for 3 weeks now, and since the update to MUIU 12.5 loaded last week my alarms have stopped working. They seem to be set up in the Clock app, but they don't go off - and before anyone says I just slept through them, they don't appear as missed notifications.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I've got a feeling my phone shuts down overnight, I mean completely. I woke up at 3 this morning (cramp!) and while my toes were slowly uncurling themselves I checked my phone, and it was completely shut down. I restarted it, and this morning the alarms worked ok. I've disabled the useless 'always on' screen, and un-set the DND, anyone else having this problem? (MUIU 12.5.1.O)
FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM - for some reason the 'schedule on/off' {in Settings-Security) had been set to power the phone down at 1:30am, and reboot at 5:30. Presumably because I hadn't put my lock code in at 5:30 (zzzzz, 'nuff said), the alarms didn't register. But weird though, I don't recall changing the power settings like this
