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

kindle fire running cw9
iPod touch 4
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

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:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/alarm-clock-plus★/com.vp.alarmClockPlusDock
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!
http://www.appbrain.com/app/alarmdroid/com.splunchy.android.alarmclock
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.
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?

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.

So here's a weird one: I'm running stock 4.1.2, and after the update I noticed the alarm going off when I set it... but only for about a second before turning itself off. It doesn't happen consistently - it only seems to happen when I leave the phone charging overnight. If I set the alarm for a minute from now, it goes off as it should. Anyone experience this? Any ideas?
I've tried setting the alarm to repeat weekly, clearing the clock app's data, and, yes, doing a full factory reset. The issue returned. Sometimes I think it might have to do with whether Google Now or Aurora (alpha Firefox) have recently added something to the notification bar, but that's pure speculation.
Don't want to install an app to rectify this, but I suppose I will if I must.
Thanks
P.S. - This thread appears to be nearly identical regarding a GSIII, but even if disabling the lock screen is a work-around, I can't do it.
P.P.S. - Any chance Samsung will be issuing any further updates (bug fixes), or can we expect this most recent update to JB to be the last?

Well at least I'm not going crazy. I encourage you and anyone else having this issue to star it on the Android bug tracker: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=43430
I have this problem for a while now.. I have tried to reach out to developers by both writing into their threads and also sending them private message, with no result.
I have T-mobile Galaxy Note II on which I had installed:
[ROM] |ROM||AROMA|| Jedi Master 16 || PIE || Per App DPI ||4.1.2|
the problem is that I like the ROM very much.. but when I had the USB plugged into the Computer the phone was freezing up and I had to take it apart to take the battery out in order for me to get it up and running again... and I was informed that I had to install newest Seber Kernel.. which I did.. but now I'm having the same problem that I had with like different ROMS before with the Strange Alarm not going off!
When I set the alarm for example for 5 minutes or half hour from now the ALARM goes off.. but when it has to ring in the morning for like 8 hours from now.. it just doesn't go off.. I don't know if it has something to do with CPU sleeper or whatever the hell there is there but it's very frustrating... please confirm how many people have this problem... also I just wanna mention that I have checked my settings like 100 times and stuff.. everything is setup correctly except that the Stock ALARM doesn't work... for people that will say just install another app from the market I don't wanna do that because I want the STOCK APP (don't like 3rd party apps)...
HELP

I had a similar problem set up the alarm clock to go off at 6 am but it never would. Then i realized I had the blocking mode on till 7 am and
it inluded alarm too. So check your block mode as silly as it sounds it might be your problem!
You obviously didn't read the part where you need to increase your min CPU and GPU voltages by 25 mah to stop the freezing problem. Go to the ROMs forum and read the last few posts made by myself and another individual and you will learn this amazingly simple fix to your horrible problem

I just wanna confirm that this is not ROM issue.. I have installed factory 4.3 from Kies and my alarm didn't ring this morning too.. the ROM is not rooted and it's all factory ROM.. my time was right when I set up the alarm yesterday night - it's 100% accurately setup so please HELP ME!
I know that some of the Samsung phones are having alarm related issues after the 4.3 update.
