usually i charge my desire during the night but it happened a couple of times that my morning alarm didnt start.
is it possible that the alarm doesnt start if the phone is charging?
did you experience this issue?
bye

Are you using a task killer?
When i first started using one, it was killing the clock task, which meant that the alarm was not going off in the morning. If you are using one, try putting the clock on the ignore list, or better still get rid of the task manager.
Use JuiceDefender if you want to save battery!

yes i'm using a taskkiller, i'll try to put clock in the ignore list.
hope this works
thank you

You didn't mention if you had the phone switched on or not when you were charging, so it is worth mentioning that if your phone is switched off, your Alarms will not sound because nothing is running. This is in contrast to say most Symbian phones or Blackberry's which will automatically switch themselves on to sound an alarm.
That being said, as has been stated previously, your task killer will be a problem if you've not set it to ignore the alarm app.

you're right i didnt mention... it was on!
to tell the truth i decided to run the clock screen before sleeping (the black and white one) to be sure that the clock was running...
but next night i'll give another try.
bye
i had exactly the same problem this morning and because of that i was late to work
I'm having this problem too, I've got Advanced Task Killer installed, I'm going to uninstall it now.

...mmm, i'm using atk too.
as i told before i added the clock app to the ignore list and tomorro morning i'll have the answer (in the meantime the alarm of my universal is still set )
bye
ATK is not a problem, just make sure you add clock to the ignore list.
I have been using ATK on my Hero since August, and on the desire since i got it. Once clock is added to the ignore list, i have not missed an alarm since.
and besides, you don't need to keep killing eveything all the time. STOP it. i only use it to kill certain things that i never use which keep autostarting, like Stocks! I leave everything else alone.
ok it worked!!!

Hello,
I have just started early shift this week and set the default alarm to come on in the morning....but it does not come on?
When i set it, i get the message saying the alarm will go off in so may hours and the alarm icon is shown at the top.
If i set the alarm again in the morning to go off in a few minutes....it works and so does the snooze.
Luckily i was using another alarm from my old phone or i would have slept in.
Is this Alarm function buggy on the desire?
Cheers.
Had the exact same thing, first time I used the alarm.
Worked the next day and been fine ever since though.
Not much use to you I know
Alot of causes seemed to be related to task killers when I was looking around.
I wasn't using one though so mine must have been something else...
I have the same problem... dont know why, i have to use an other alarm clock
I had pretty much the same problem on first usage and I had to be up at 3.30am (which I nearly missed). I didn't figure out any resolution. Also the Desktop clocks are quite pointless without giving you the option to disable screen standby on use so you lose sight off them pretty quick.
Then I shifted to using the Enhanced Alarm Clock (Better Alarm) which I loved as excellent albeit it has a major bug still uncorrected so I dumped it - a loading icon (ads) stays loading forever and so the CPU usage stays high killing the battery fast. Ever since, I've been using the Kaloer Clock which works perfectly and is far more customizable. Even when you press back it exits unlike many other apps. I leave it on as a Desktop clock at night using its option to lock the screen and prevent standby... in a very dim custom digital blue showing Time/Day/Date/Month/SMS /Alarm/Battery icons. 8 hours sleep (which I only get the luxury of on Saturday) drains the battery 32% if left in such a mode with an alarm on.

Thanks for the replies!
I use Taskiller that automaticly kill tasks when phone asleeps and I had to add clock to ignored list because when clock app gets killed it won't start alarm even if alarm icon is present on task bar.
I don't know if clock gets killed by system to free memory. Maybe it is the case.
Hmm never had this problem. (3uk unbranded device)

I will try this.

I've had this problem too.
In the alarm screen all backgrounds are white, all days of the week are checked. Alarm icon in task bar. It has failed to go off twice, and worked once... I didnt have a task killer app installed the first time it failed, but do now. I'll try adding the clock to the ignore list and hope this fixes it, but as I say, I didnt have the task killer installed first time it failed... Fingers crossed.
Task killer was the problem with me, after adding to ignore list i have not had a problem since.
First off, I am rooted with the "unrevoked" method. I have notice that my alarm clock only goes off sometimes. I cant figure out what the pattern is. This is my 4th android phone, so I know how to navigate and set things up. I have it set for Mon-Fri @ 6:05am w/ a stock alarm tone (light).
I am back to using my regular house alarm clock with the blaring radio. Anybody else have this problem?
Do you use a task killer? If so, you should set it to ignore the clock. It will kill the clock and prevent it from going off.
Better yet, find a way to do things without a task killer, but that's my two cents. You can use a task killer if you so desire.
Thanks, I actually was using task killer. Why do you say not to use it?
I don't use an automatic task killer simply because it's not needed, at least not for me. I have plenty of RAM available at all times and this way I don't risk killing off something important. The only time you should need to kill a process is if it is misbehaving by using lots of data or CPU time or not properly going to sleep. Otherwise your phone will generally be faster with a lot of ram in "use" because it's being cached and can be used by other programs. For more information look up how Linux handles RAM.
I can't get m y alarm to sound, I am rooted and I have auto lock on. I have tried different ways to make it work, no success.
Please help
Thanks
not scientific...
My experience on my HTC diamond, and now my HTC Evo is that if leave my phone plugged in to charger overnight, often my alarm does not work. Not that this helps or answers your question, just lets you know you're not alone.
Same issue here a few times with me Evo and G1. Must be an issue with the clock app or sound settings.
If u have a task killer and the settings are on auto kill u have to put it on the ignore list.that's the reason my alarm wasn't sounding cuz task killer would close the clock overnight
Hope this helps

Thankyou very much, that fixed my problem I feel dumb because I didn't think of that.
Again thankyou
I am running Golden Eye v.4 and having an issue with the lock screen.
The clock is stuck at some random time and will not adjust to the real time. I did cache and Dalvik cache wipe, it didn't resolve the issue.
Anything else I could do to fix it?
Same issue
I had the same issue. Running stock 4.2.2, rooted, and I froze a few apps. I unfroze the first Clock (digital) and restarted the phone. The time is now accurate. I am not sure if that was the problem or just a coincidence. The developer may have taken out that apk ?!?

Any other solutions?

well for whatever reason the clock process keeps getting killed it sounds like, are you using any task killers? Since you make it seem like it stops at 5:05 everyday, you might have set up the task killer to clean your ram every so often, and its killing the clock process

Actually, yes, I dp occasionally use Gemini task killer widget throughout the day. It is not set up on a schedule though. Should I not be using task killer in general?

mmmm lets just say its contraversal at the very least. try uninstalling it for a bit and see if that fixes your clock stopping issue
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.

Yeah, I was quite 'alarmed' cool by that feature, lol. I've made sure it's always turned off.

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.
