Hi,
Anyone quickly shut off their alarm to find it won't turn off? I've done it a few times now. If the alarm goes off and you quickly swipe down, the alarm continues to sound and the only way I've found to turn it off is to switch off the phone fully.
Yup had that too...
Very Annoying, having to apologize to the people around you for the constant alarm sounding during the reboot......
If anybody knows a fix ?
i had this problem too today, my suggested fix is to go into settings and enable the volume keys to also switch off the alarm, cant vouch for it as definitive as it happened to me for the first time today but its worth a try
Does anyone use their Note 2 as an alarm clock? I have had mine 6 days now and apart from the first morning my alarms have all failed to go off.
I can set an alarm for 2 minutes in advance and that works perfectly but when on charge for the night my morning alarms never go off.
I seem to remember having the exact same issue on an S2 I briefly owned 18 months ago. This is a serious problem and can't believe Samsung can't create an alarm that works!!
Has anyone experienced this or have any info?
I use my alarm every morning, works perfectly. Are you leaving your device screen face down? That mutes the audio...

You're using the default alarm app right? Just to make sure, are you enabling the alarm for the days that you need it to ring? By default even if you set an alarm for a certain time, it won't go off on a day unless you actually enable it for the next day or whenever you want it to go off.

Look at this picture for example. I've turned on the alarm for 6:20 AM, but it won't actually go off at 6:20 AM today unless I click on the alarm and enable it to repeat on Friday or whatever days I want it to go off. This behavior is quite annoying and has caused me to switch back to Alarm Clock Plus that I've been using for years. In that app, when you turn an alarm back on, it sets it for the next closest time it can go off. This means that if I enable my 6:20 alarm at 1:17 AM, it will go off aproximately 5 hours later, not 6 days, 5 hours, and 3 minutes from now lol.
Otherwise, I'm not sure why your alarms aren't going off. Did you lower or disable the alarm volume? Or disable alarms from going off in silent mode?

I believe laying it face down only mutes the audio if something is currently outputting sound at the time you lay it face down. Laying it face down any other time shouldn't mute the sound. For example, if you're playing music with the stock music player, take your device and lay it flat or even just face down (meaning it will mute if your device is face down while in the air) and it will mute. If you lift it up a little and press the play button, the music will continue to play. I usually lay my phone face down at night when I go to sleep and I've never had an alarm muted or not go off because the phone was face down.

No its not face down, to begin with it was just on charge on its back, last night I used a dock which stands the phone upright. No alarm either way. :crying:

I have checked and double checked my setting and all seem spot on to me. I'll post some screen shots in a sec. Volume on, it even says your alarm is set for 6 hours from now etc.. Not days or anything..
Here are my alarm screenshots see if i'm doing something wrong?. Please ignore the fact that the phone is on vibrate, thats just on since I started work this morning.
Any advice would be appreciated. I don't really want to have to start using 3rd party apps. Don't see why I should have too..

Does the alarm have a seperate volume / system sounds and have you tried changing the alarm sound?

All my volumes were maxed out, I checked before going to sleep. Even so there was nothing on my screen this morning to say any alarms had even gone off even if the volume was off for some reason. One alarm doesn't have snooze switched on so that should go off until I turn it off shouldn't it?
I think the problem is the alarm doesn't repeat the ringtone. I have tried it before. Basically it plays the ringtone, then dies off regardless whether you dismiss or snooze the alarm. After that you can't find any trace of the alarm having sounded.
So I guessed you must have slept through the alarm. It happened to me too. So now I am using another alarm app.

Hhhmm, I suppose it is a possibility, surly the alarms shouldn't stop on their own without being turned off, that would be a major flaw. Only other thing is I was actually awake this morning around the time the final 05:45 alarm should of gone off but I saw or heard nothing.
When you look at the screenshots you realize that sound is disabled?

I did say ignore the fact that my phone is on vibrate. Incidentally I have tested it today on a random alarm and the alarm went off even though the phone was on vibrate. It just seems to not work if the phone hasn't been used in hours.
Purchase Alarm Clock Extreme. Well worth it and works 100% of the time. I have math to snooze and captcha to dismiss. Wakes me up every single time.
I don't really want to go down the route of installing 3rd party apps. What if they get closed down, does the alarm still go off?
I'd rather try and figure out whats going wrong and fix it.
My phone is always on vibration.. But i have never faced any problem with alarm and i am using my mobile as waking alarm since i bought it

Well i'd love to know why mine always thinks I need more sleep. Gonna have to factory reset at some point and see if that helps but I shouldn't really need to do a reset after 1 week of use.
Stock Alarm works perfectly, maybe u turned on the "block mode" or something, don't 3rd party apps w/ own alarm system
No Blocking mode on or anything like that.
It now seems fixed after a factory reset, the only thing I haven't put back on is my PIN lock. I have a feeling the PIN lock and dock mode were not playing well with each other.
Will try adding PIN at some point but just happy its working for now

Glad to know a reset resolved the issue, but this is definitely an annoying bug - how do we know the issue won't come back again? I ran into the same issue the last two days now where my alarms just didn't go off. Settings all check out, nothing changed, the alarms just stopped working.
For what it's worth, I also have a PIN lock, but I don't have a dock. It was plugged in, face up, full volume.
add me to this growing list as well. I was just testing the alarm setting it with voice and sure enough, my alarm didnt sound. Alarm screen came up, but no sound. The strange thing is if I go in and set an alarm manually, it will sound. Strange and frustrating.
Home screen too?

I have had the exact same problem. My alarms worked for the first couple of weeks, then nothing, if the phone was inactive for more than an hour or two.
I have a few alarms set through the day. The only time they work is if the phone has been recently active. At night I plug the phone in to charge and the alarms will not go off in the morning. The other thing that I noticed is that the home screen time is always behind when this happens. So far this is the only place I have found someone with the same issue.

MOD EDIT I edited the title. Some of the words were not needed to convey your meaning @gregbradley
This has been up around before, i have searched and not found an answer.
Someone had the bright idea that "Do Not Disturb" puts the Alarm out of business. A Genius idea, since 95% of the world use "Do not disturb" when they sleep.
I am a very light sleeper. I am currently faced with the most annoying problem ever, and due to waking up 15times a night, i am getting beyond adjudicated due to lack of a good nights sleep. You guessed it, i wake up from the vibration!
The LG G3. Turn it all the way, and you get Virbate, Alarm still works.
Do not disturb, no vibrate, ahh nice, but now no Alarm.
I came from a G2, where i could pick Vibrate of full silent with only Alarm working. THIS IS THE F'ing feature thats missing, and i am fully aware that this is a know issue for most G3 users.
Who the heck came up with this stupid idea, and how can get to a point where my phone is dead silent but the ONLY sound that MUST work is from the Alarm?!
Is there a work around, is there an app i can use, anything, please help me get some SLEEP!
I agree that the only days I missed school is because of this Do not disturb feature I use when I'm busy and.... I miss my alarm!
But missing work is just not an option for me.
This is a situation of doomed if you and doomed if dont, and i dont want to be put in that position by my freaking phone!

If i could, i would. But you cant. when the phone is on vinrate only.
I found a way to work around this now, but its beyond stupid.
Honestly, its like a woman did this. No logic and damn complicated.

Settings --> Sound --> Notifications --> Do Not Disturb --> Schedule -- Set the times and days you do not want to be interrupted, set the end time to be a few minutes before your alarm is due to go off, remember you need to start it from the night before, so if you work Monday to Friday you need to choose Sunday to Thursday, assuming that you go to sleep before midnight that is.
You can now leave your phone on normal volume, do not need to to mute or set to vibrate only.
Use priority mode, I had the same issue as you until I figured out how to use priority mode and keep it completely silent.
sound - notifications - do not disturb - make sure calendar events are ticked...
after wards go to home screen, set to DND and press volume down once you will get "
Do not disturn
1. on Priority Off
Select priority and presto! eveything else but calendar events (alarms) will be silent.
Anyone else having issues with their alarm clock on the Fire Phone? In the morning, the alarm will go off (which is a good thing) but I can't turn it off (Which is a bad thing). I've been having to turn the phone off completely to shut it down. Most of the time, the screen will come on giving me the option to swipe to turn it off or snooze, but swiping doesn't work. Some times, the screen does not even give me those options. I downloaded a different alarm app, but am having the same issue.
Ironically I've had this same problem and it was possibly after freezing certain system apps for more memory. The only solution I've found as opposed to rebooting the phone is holding down the home button which triggers voice input and stops the alarm.
Hope this helps.

I almost missed work today! My alarm went off for like 1 second and then shuts itself off. I'm wonder if Next lock screen has anything to do with it. I have to play with it later tonight. This is kind of unacceptable.
I was not able to reproduce the issue again this evening (even though it happened with both my morning alarms) and I seem to have made things worse. Messing around with LockScreen.apk and LockScreenPreviewer.apk, my screen no longer turns on when the alarm sounds. I have to unlock the phone and go into the alarm's notification menu to stop it.
Also, I managed to accidentally delete my backup of /system/priv-app/LockScreen.apk. The one in /system/app/LockScreen.apk doesn't work when I put it in priv-app and update-fire-phone-35.4.6.3_user_463001620.bin doesn't even have a /system/priv-app/LockScreen.apk.
EDIT:
Screw it. I moved over to 4.6.3. Problem solved. I'm back on the standard horrible lockscreen for now. But at least the alarm seems to be working again.
[H815]
Like a week ago, the phone started snoozing alarm itself, making me late for work So later I tested it and found out that the alarm does work, but when the screen goes off like after a couple of seconds, it shuts off and snoozes!! That is when the ringing phone is locked, the alarm snoozes itself! Please help and I have like 60+ apps so I don't wanna wipe my phone
Thanks
Got the same problem, can somebody help us?!
