I had unchecked the alarm so that it would not go off. It was still set for the day and it still when off at the time but I unchecked it and it still went off, and yesterday. I changed the time on another alarm from 1 to 4 and it still when off at 1.
And sometimes it will go off an hour early.
Any ideas?
mine too.. it goes off strangely

I have checked up thoroughly with WM2003 as well with WM 6 that the alrm system is working correctly, it writes on registry for any change and issues notifications accordingly.
I suspect your problem is related to Notification Queues. Did you take a full backup of system or database and reinstalled later on? This can setup old notification queues along with new ones so you will get false alarms.
Best way to takeup backup is by clearing all alarm settings prior to taking backup

This all started yesterday morning. I had my alarm set, woke up later than I needed to with a notification on the phone that said Alarm Turned Off After 10 Minutes, telling me the alarm had gone off for 10 minutes and was automatically turned off.
I thought it was weird so I did some digging and it turned out that NONE of my sounds were working. The volume was up, silent mode was off, but I was getting nothing whatsoever from the phone speaker. Even speaker phone wasn't working. Headphones worked fine. It seemed my speaker had blown.
Well, later in the day (as I was preparing to take it back to Verizon) it just randomly starts working again. All sounds now seem fine.
So I set my alarm this morning. And this time, it didn't even go off, at all! I woke up 5 minutes after it was supposed to go off, and when I unlocked my phone, THEN the alarm started going off. It's almost like it isn't coming our of deep sleep to sound the alarm.
Are these two issues related; the sound issue yesterday and the alarm issues both days? Has anyone else experienced this? It seems to be random...sometimes I can replicate it, other times I cannot.
There's another thread about this somewhere...try a search for "alarm". It's happened to me often enough that I can't rely on my Gnex as an alarm clock...I have to use my old SGS instead. I've also had loss of sound occasionally, but a reboot always fixes it.
Wish someone would figure out a solution, it's pretty annoying to have a bug like this in the alarm. Even the cheapest, crappiest dumbphone you can buy comes with a reliable alarm app, but my expensive smartphone does not? (and yes, I've tried other alarm apps besides the stock one...they all fail to go off intermittently.)

Thanks for the input. I use my alarm daily and this is the first time I've had this issue.
As an aside (but perhaps related issue?), my gmail app has uninstalled itself and I can't get it reinstalled. Looks like it's time for a reflash.

Yes I would reflash before you miss a flight or the interview to your dream job!
One thing I miss about my old blackberry is the alarm. Put it in the cradle and the time would dim, all notifications would turn off and the alarm would fire every time, every when the battery had been drained and switched off. Pity everything else sucked...
I've yet to have a problem.
Maybe you're getting SOD's (or close-to) in the middle of the night and the phone is having trouble waking itself up?
Try adjusting your governor and turn your undervolts up if they're enabled.
I am, however, fairly OCD about my alarms...
I reboot my phone before opening the alarm app and ONLY the alarm app...
Make sure the alarm is enabled...
And turn the screen off.
I've done this since my OGDroid days.
I also have the trusty DX as a backup...set 10 minutes later; just in case.
Hey guys. Is there any way to get around the annoying "alarm repeat" function on touchwiz's stock alarm clock? Every time I create an alarm, it automatically selects that particular day as a repeat day. I want to be able to create an alarm, let's say it's set for 8am a certain way, and be able to just go turn it on for the next morning on any particular day without having to go into edit and turn the repeat day off again. Yes, I'm aware that there are other alarm apps, that's not the question. Cheers for the feedback.

Please tell me this a is joke question.
If you want to set certain days for that particular time you simple check the days you want. If you want them days to only go off for that week unchecked repeat weekly or check weekly for every week.

Thanks for the attitude; that always helps. And that did not answer my question. If I go set an alarm with repeat weekly off and no days selected, it automatically selects the day that the alarm is next set to go off on. Now, say if I go to select that alarm time again two days later looking for it to go off the next morning, I have to go in and deselect the day that it was automatically assigned to when I created the alarm.

When you set the alarm uncheck the days you don't want. Oh yeah make sure you hit save.

Thanks, but I'm doing that, and it is behaving as I described where it automatically assigns a day to that alarm.
Please try it. Create an alarm for tomorrow Thurs at 8am, make sure all the days are not highlighted, un-check repeat weekly, hit save. Now go back to that alarm and you'll see that the day Thurs is now and will continue to be highlighted. When your alarm goes off tomorrow Thurs at 8am, and you turn it off, it is still set as a Thurs only alarm. My point is that you cannot just create a general alarm for 8am that on any random day you can go one-click enable to go off the next morning like you can with the stock android alarm. You either have to set it to go off everyday at that time or you have to go and deselect the day it was autoassigned to the last time you used it.

Yeah, I can live with it. That said, I'm always looking for convenience when I can find it. Options exhausted with the touchwiz app, I'll try another.
I just enjoyed before with my last phone with the stock android alarm app that I could go and create alarms for time slots. Like an alarm for 7, 7:30, 8, 8:30, 9, 9:30, 10, 10:30, and so on. Seeing that my waking schedule in not regular, I could just go to the alarm app and one-click the time slot I wanted to wake up the next day. Now I have an EXTRA 4 CLICKS! /sarcasm

It's been a while since I've had TW Roms, but let me try to help.
Set up an alarm for 7:30 AM. Choose repeat on all days.
Repeat step one for all times you want alarms
"Turn Off" all alarms you don't want to use. (I think you just have to click the green alarm on the side and it turns off)
Each night before you go to bed, turn on the alarm you want.
*Optional* Leave one "failsafe" alarm that you always leave on.
You can even set up widgets on one of your homescreens to turn each alarm on or off. That way it's a one-click step. Can't get much more convenient than that!

Thanks topherk. Did a little test run by setting an alarm for a minute later with the options you mentioned. Unfortunately, if you don't select "repeat weekly," you lose the day that just went off (i.e. it becomes un-highlighted), and if you do select "repeat weekly," your alarm is now set to go off everyday at that time, and thus you would have to go disable it after it went off. The later option is probably the easiest for the time slot method I'm looking for, but it has the added inconvenience of your alarm going off when you don't want it to if you forget to disable it. God knows I'm not all that sharp right when I wake up, so it happens.
I'm on Chuppa Rom (latest build) and I seem to be having an issue with my notifications and my alarm.
My alarms: I have timely and Alarm Clock Xtreme on because I've had bad experiences with the stock alarm app in the past. Timely still rings the alarm but not at the time I set. Maybe a few minutes later after the time I've set it to. My Alarm Clock Xtreme doesn't even ring. I have the notification of the next alarm on my notification tray as do I have the widget on the home screen. Also, my WhatsApp notifications too come in late (sometimes by half an hour!!). My sync is turned on so I don't know what else I can do.
Please advise,

Did your greenify those apps?
Also, the new "Quiet mode" seems to silence alarms as well so make sure it isn't turned on during your alarms or give them priority.

Greenify is amazing, just don't use it on alarms app as they might not 'wake' to wake you up
There's also a notification setting (for wakelocks) which you should go over, make sure those apps aren't turned off or limited.

I just realised that Greenify hibernates app and not keeps them 'awake, lol.
That won't fix the issue of it always forgetting to wake me up.
Any idea how to proceed?

Greenify was more of a side note. I only mentioned it cause I did greenify my alarms before without thinking that it wouldn't go off.
But you should check your app notification settings (in your phone settings). It's a wakelock control that was added with Lollipop.

I'm sorry, I seem to be a little lost. I tried looking for the wakelock control but to no avail :\
What does the wakelock control do? Does it keep apps awake (that I need to apply it to my alarm app)?

If you don't know what/were it is, chances are the it's not the issue. It is used to turn off wakelock notifications but by default, they should be activated. More details here
Do you have any app that help you phone's battery or 'speed boosters'?
Here, try this:
Settings, sound then notifications and clock, checked the priority option, then selected turned on priority sound profile.
did you find out what was causing it not to ring? Im always paranoid my alarm is going to fail lol

Sorry for the late reply. I just noticed my notifications now. I don't tend to login too often.
My UI seems to be on sleep mode for some reason. As in, I'll unlock the phone wondering why no alarm went off and notice that the 3 different clocks I have on my homescreen as widgets all show the time from a few hours back and then after a couple of seconds refresh and show the correct time at which the alarm from 10 minutes ago now begins to ring. I still don't know what's causing this. All this time I've been using my old phone as my alarm. I'm thinking of moving onto another ROM. Maybe an AOSP one despite the bugs just because of this bug. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this problem it would be much appreciated.

No, and no. Sometimes it'll ring like usual. Other times it won't even ring. I suspect it's because the clock function sometimes tends to lag out and go unresponsive. You know how sometimes if you've got multiple windows open then later on you go back to one of them and everything has to be drawn up again as though it wasn't running at all in the background and that it was turned off for the time being? That's how my clock seems to operate. I can see that when I unlock my phone for a short moment the time is the time a few hours ago and it needs to resync for a second before it displays the correct time. Other times it's responsive and it tells the correct time and in those instances the alarm rings without issue. But every 3 or 4 times, it turns unresponsive on me and my alarm doesn't kick in.

Do you have a App ops in your settings? Where you could give the clock app priority or whitelist it.
Otherwise, I remember reading about someone fixing that issue setting his alarms with the calendar app, not ideal but it's a workaround.
Been using the phone for about 20 days now, I noticed that the alarm app is very inconsistent, that it doesn't always work. I've woken up to missed alarms 3/4 of the time and it's getting pretty frustrating. I've already turned of auto optimization in device care, optimization isn't application for the stock clock app so it should not affect it. Any idea if there's a fix for it?? I've tried clearing data but still no avail
Anyone else have this problem with their G7 ThinQ? Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I checked the alarm before going to sleep and it even said the alarm would go off in 8 hours and 7 minutes, but then it doesn't go off. The alarm worked perfectly for over a year and only recently stopped working intermittently. I've double checked the days, the time, AM/PM, that the alarm is enabled, DND, etc. Everything is set correctly.
Is there a way to fix this?
Try bforce stoping and erasing the data and cache of the app .
If you're using the google clock app try updating it
