Alarm clock bug - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Has this happened to any one else? At least once a week, the stock alarm clock will disable all days except one during the week. Seems like Thursday will be the only day enabled when this happens. The alarm goes off Monday through Thursday perfectly, but on Friday it shows that only Thursday is enabled so no alarm for Friday!

I haven't run into that one. Seems like it would be a problem with work and school. Have you tried deleting the alarm and recreating it?

I also had this happen which is why I use my clock by my bed as a backup (tends to be a safe idea). Mine might have been from flashing a new rom though so its hard to say.

Mine always disables wed. for some reason I hate the stock app stupid how you have to pick the days

Sense alarm sucks - alternatives?

Hey all,
Been having problems with the alarm since I moved to an HTC phone. I have 2 issues. If I have it on sound only, the sound goes once and then it goes to sleep. It doesn't repeat. The other thing, if I enable vibrate, the sound still goes once, but it will keep vibrating.
I moved over from an SGS phone and alarm always worked flawlessly. I woke up late a couple times on a trip.
Any suggestions to either make it work better, or for an app that can replace it?
Thanks,
Super

I had a similar issue when I first got my phone, and I purchased Alarm Clock Plus from the Market for I think $1.99 or $2.99. Never had an issue since, even with all the ROMs I've flashed. I am sure there are other alarm apps, but that's what I use.

Root if you haven't already and install CM7 or MIUI
I've been using Alarm Clock Plus (free) pretty much since I got my phone:

Alarm Clock Xtreme Free is also decent.
Gentle alarm is amazing.
Out of all the alarms I've tried AlarmDroid seems to work best for me, and it's FREE!

Thanks all. I'll check out those apps.
I'm already rooted and running Synergy.
I tried AlarmDroid and it has been working very well. Thanks for the tip!

Yep using the same here (although I think I upgraded to the full version after a while).
It's great and you can't go wrong with it, a ton of options to do.

[Q] Alarm Clock not going off 3 times

hi guys just wondering does any 1 know why my alarm has failed to go off at 7:30 3 days in a row but i tested a alarm set for a few minutes after the current time and it works fine.
notes: volume is up, alarm sound is not silent, stock alarm 2.3.4 .62
thanks
Have you checked in which day it should repeat ringing?
Xperia PLAY has some problems with alarm let me explain you this in simple example, because I don't know how can I do it in another way.
It's friday 1AM, you set the alarm to 10AM and check repeating to fridays. You go asleep and turn off the screen. The phone won't ring.
The same thing but you DON'T check repeating to fridays - it will ring.
Check if you have the same problem, because after this little discovery I have no more alarm problems. Don't check the same day as it is today in repeating option, because 99% alarm won't ring.

Alarm Problems?

Has anyone else had there alarm not to go off then to check the time on the phone and all of sudden it sounds?
This morning I had my alarm set for 8:00am, I roll over and see it is 8:08 on my nightstand clock and think to myself I must of had it set to PM instead of AM. I then reach for my phone hit the power button and the alarm starts ringing. It was like the time didn't update until I hit the power button. Any fix for this or anyone else experience this?
Interesting. A slightly different but probably related event happened for me this morning:
I use my Galaxy Nexus stock alarm to wake up and have every morning I have had the device (about 45 days). No problems whatsoever.
This morning, the alarm goes off for about 2 seconds, I wake up, the alarm has stopped and I reach for the phone and it is in the process of rebooting (the splash screen is running)

I had that same exact experience. Verbatim.
I use two separate devices for alarms...one never knows.
Do any of you guys use any task killer apps?
The alarm on my Gnex is so weirdly unpredictable that I went back to using my old SGS as my alarm clock.
I've tried the standard clock app as well as Kaloer Clock and the alarms on both of them only work about 75% of the time.
This is also the only time I've had a "sleep of death" issue. The phone would often be powered off when I checked it after a missed alarm, or else waiting for me to key in my SIM PIN as though it had rebooted, even though it had been powered on and charging when I went to sleep. This hasn't happened even once since I stopped using the alarms.
So no answers, but I would love to know if this is common and if it's fixable.
BTW, I'm not using task killers or battery boosters, and I'm on stock everything.

Four month of using the Nexus as my alarm clock and I never had any issues. Went from stock 4.0.1 to bugless beast 4.0.3 to cm9 4.0.3 and alarm on all of them worked flawless.

Custom sounds won't repeat by default
There's some thread in the forums about ring tones not repeating unless in ogg format with the special ANDROID_LOOP tag set to true...
Are you using a custom, non-repeating alarm sound?
4.04 fixed this for me. I think it has something to do with landscape. Alarm always works. I use it to get up every morning.
Yep, had a similar problem this week
running 4.0.2 stock
not sure why its started happening
My phone was bootlooping this morning too, had to wipe and re flash. Using axiom crossbreed

Also the only things I did differently was download volume plus and tweaked the speaker volume and in call volume. Before this I had never had a problem .

I've only had my Nexus reboot waiting to decrypt the phone once, making late.. on a side note anyone else find it annoying they placed the snooze button on top of the dismiss button?? My motor skills ain't the greatest when I wake up and stretching to get to my phone.. end up hitting dismiss why couldn't the buttons be located left to right like it use to be.. sigh

Not me- I was trying to use a stock alarm tone. And it worked fine some of the time. The problem is that my boss doesn't think me being on time to work "some of the time" is adequate, so it would be better for me if my alarm is reliable.

[Q] FC09 Alarm Failure? [SOLVED]

3 alarms on two phones were nice enough not to go off this morning. They didn't even wake the phone. Using the stock included alarm apk. Anyone else still asleep waiting for their alarm? Lucky for my internal clock!

thankfully (*cough*) my alarm goes off every morning.
how did you install your rom? maybe you should odin back to stock and retry
hehehehe
Mine worked this morning. CleanGB 1.1.2 which is EL30 based and using Alarm Clock Plus
Mine went off as always with The People's ROM stock alarm clock. Is your phone on silent and alarms set to still sound when silent?

Well I did restore my phone late last night... may need to cycle the alarms. Not sure about my wife's... maybe it did go off and neither of us remember. Haha
UPDATE: In hindsight, this is probably the case. I did wake up minutes after her alarm SHOULD have gone off, and she probably stopped it in her sleep... Yeah, I bet the backup/restore glitched my alarms. Cycled them, all better now. :-D

s3 alarm not sounding? :/

i'm on stock, unrooted, 4.0.4 (latest ota) and my alarm rarely sounds...
i have no idea what causes it to choose to sound or not, but I find that it becomes less likely to work when there's 2 alarms active.
this has been going on for a couple weeks now (used to work fine), and i woke up an hour late this morning because of it!
i've tried:
- force closing the app
- clearing data
- deleting/re-adding the alarms
- creating the alarm from within the clock app, not directly from the widget
- removing widget from the homescreen (as you can see, i'm getting pretty desperate with this one!)
anyone else experiencing this issue?
edit: could it have anything whatsoever to do with nova launcher? i think this started after switching to nova (i've since switched back to stock touchwiz). the widget didn't come up properly on nova, and I created alarms from the widget. maybe im just being stupid but I NEED this to work again.. looking for suggestions for replacement (free) alarm apps in the meantime.
thanks
no one? this issue hasn't gone away, and apparently i'm not the only one experiencing this. could it possibly be a hardware issue? other people have reported it on cm10 as well.

Alarm works it just vibrates and has no ring!
Can you set ringtones from settings? Maybe it's a media storage issue..? Idk
You could install a 3rd party alarm app.

Check all three sound menus and if that doesn't work try restarting the phone

Had same problem - solved
I had exactly the same problem. Turned out my daughter had turned BLOCKING MODE ON!
When you turn this on, by default it will NOT let you hear the alarm.
I turned if off again and alarm works fine!
Hope this helps
