alarm cuts off too soon. - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Does anyone know of a way to keep the alarm from shutting itself off after a minute or two? I want it to keep going. until I shut it off myself.

Alarm Clock Plus. Free on Play. Wants to hear the entire song not just the intro. Froyo had the alarm with full sound. GB start with the short sound.

Make sure the alarm voice command is off, the wife was turning mine off when she was telling me to "make it STOP"
I was late to work a few times bc I slept right through them.

Evo texting random garbage instead of alarm going off

My alarms are already spotty at best. I've caught them going off for 1 or 2 seconds and then silencing themselves. This morning I did not hear my alarm go off at all and instead woke up to some very strange text messages I had just sent.
I left Google Voice open last night as I was texting someone and the text window was open. Instead of my alarm going off, a bunch of random garbled text started getting sent out. I don't know if it was the vibration (I never heard the vibration but I could have slept through it) causing buttons to accidentally be hit or if it was some weird redirection of alarm "go off" commands being redirected to the nearest text area.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? I notice similar random text messages sometimes waiting as drafts for me after backing up and restoring text messages.
That sucks! Are you running a custom ROM? if so would you by chance be using a 'Vanilla' Lock Screen?

I'm 100% stock unrooted fully updated.
wow, I have absolutely no idea! sorry! I would think it would have to be an app doing that. Can you recreate the issue? if you can, post it and I will try to do it on my phone.
Have you tried using a diffrent alarm app one from the market

Alarm Clock Issue

Hey All,
I'm having an issue on my GS2. The alarms work fine, except i can't snooze them. I slide snooze and the alarm turns off as though i had dismissed it. I have no issues with installing an alternate clock, i just wanted to make sure it's not just me being unable to figure out my phone.

It's been working fine for me. Though I wish you could pick other ringer sounds. That stupid alarm sound is downright relaxing. I need my alarms to be a little more upsetting....though I do find the SmartAlarm with debriefing pretty cool.
That reminds me how much I love this speaker.
EDIT: nvrmnd. I only looked at 'alarm type' not even 'alarm tone' which is where the file selector is.
Fixed?
Hey, hey, Good news!
So, apparently this was one of those issues that you merely need to bring up in conversation for it to get fixed. This morning i snoozed and it went off 5 minutes later. Interesting. I'll monitor this behavior.

i should have typed "Good news, everyone!"
Alarm Sound while in Silent Mode
Anyone able to have the alarm vibrate when in Silent Mode without me having to manually change the media sound to 0?

Imo alarm clock plus is the best alarm app. Try it out.

[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
