Many times when I reboot the alarm icon on the notificaiton bar would go away. I would manually get into the alarm program and get back out to trigger it back on. Is it just me or does that happen to you guys as well?
Thanks,

This happens to me as well on my Sprint Note 2 running rooted stock LK8. I first noticed it when I was running ADW EX launcher over TouchWiz. Are you running the stock launcher? The "problem" seemed to go away when I uninstalled ADW EX and went back to TouchWiz. I use my phone as my daily alarm clock, so I couldn't risk my alarm not going off. It would've been nice to see if the alarm would still activate and the alarm clock icon was just a cosmetic glitch. With previous phones I would typically use a status bar hack to remove the alarm icon from the status bar anyway to get rid of the clutter, but I need to know if the alarm still works before I stop caring about the icon displaying.
I'm a little surprised more people haven't encountered this.
Lol, thanks brother for trying to help. The issue started on fully stock t-mobile rooted. Even when I updated to 4.1.2 stock rooted the problem persisted. For some reason, now it keeps its icon and I didn't really try to fix the problem. So I'm good now.\
But yeah I hear ya. I absolutely don't want to be late for work. It does seem to be a visual issue though since the alarm would work even without that icon. But there was this one time when I actually was late for work because it didn't work so I got super paranoid.
PS - This is why I am using circle alarm because it gives me a peace of mind with it's notification under the notification bar at all times. (not the most feature rich but that alone was worth it for me to use it)
I've always used PalmarySoft Alarms and it's always displayed in the notification bar, but I think it's using the Android alarm system to do it rather than its own code. I'm trying Nova Launcher now and it does the same thing as ADW EX. Since it's the weekend in going to see if my alarm works even if the icon isn't there. If the alarm works I'm just going to move on and consider it a cosmetic glitch.
If nothing else you've been a confirmation of sanity for me. I can't find anyone else who is having or has noticed this problem on the Note 2.

Two days in a row my alarm on my VZW GNex has not woken me up for work. When I look at my phone it says "Clock has stopped Responding."
This is kind of a big deal and rather a large annoyance, because well lets face it, I cannot be late for work everyday, and I use my phone for my alarm.
My trusty old DInc never had a problem setting off the alarm.
Any ideas or thoughts? Anyone else have this problem on their Verizon Galaxy Nexus? Oh and also, my GNex is unlocked and rooted, but on the stock Rom. I want to wait for CM9 to put a Rom on this phone.
No one has any ideas? my alarm worked this morning. but i feel like this would be a random occurrence, and i want to figure out how to make it never happen again.
hell my alarm isn't going off at all figure that one out and i have 3 of them set and yes they are enabled it shows me the next alarm time and is correct
Try going to settings > apps > clock and clearing data/cache.. all I can think of
Or you both might try an alarm app from the market if that doesn't work
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Got the same problem.
When I enter to Clock application, switch do Alarm tab and tried to set any alarm, application hung up with ANR message.
Also I figured out, when I entered Settings -> Sounds -> Volumes, it's freezes same way.
Clearing data & cache for Clock application only not fixed problem, I managed, it's Media storage problem (both apps - Clock and Sounds - requires access to media storage to choose ringtone ?) - so I cleared it's data too.
Rebooted phone and voi'la. Clock are now working again. (But all alarms are gone, but that's no tragedy)
Hope this helps
I just put RobotoMod-Xena 1.0.1 on my phone last night, but didn't completely finish ironing out all the glitches on the install before I needed to hit the sack. I use my phone as my alarm clock, and managed to figure out how to set it while I was darned near already asleep.
So, this morning at the bright-n-early time of 5:15 AM, the alarm goes off. I'm used to the Sense desk clock that pops up a window when the alarm sounds asking if you want to deactivate it, or snooze it. That window wasn't there, and I couldn't get the alarm to shut off (which really pissed off my wife ). I finally had to power down the phone to get it quiet.
I don't know if this is a CM9 or RobotoMod thing, but how in the world do you deactivate a sounding alarm? Or should I find an actual Alarm clock app and use it instead? I'd rather not, since it defeats the purpose of having it built into the phone in the first place (IMHO).
u said u used the Sense desk clock , mean not the origin cm9 clock ?
No, I meant that I was used to the sense clock that was on the stock ROM before I loaded RobotoMod/CM9. It's the CM9 clock I'm having troubles with (I think) - I don't know if the RobotoMod devs changed that or not. I'm still trying to figure out where everything is in the code so I can find it for myself, but I'm not having much luck.

robotoMod rom's clock work fine on me , did you try to reflash the rom?
Yeah, it's on the third try right now. One complete wipe and reflash, and one reflash without wiping. The clock works fine - its the alarm that I can't turn off once it goes off.
hmmm....that's odd. I'm just sitting here at the desk and decided to test this again. The phone is not plugged in, and I used the 2nd alarm slot (default Sat. and Sun. alarm). A "snooze or dismiss" window pops up, and worked. The volume buttons were set to dismiss, and that worked. I just changed them to snooze, and it worked.
I'm going to go back to the first alarm slot and verify it works there, then I'm going to attach the charger to it and make sure it works before my wife gets really, really, realllllly annoyed with me on Tuesday :fingers-crossed:

then jus use the 2nd alarm slot if first not work , but u can also put the clock widget at home screen once the alarm ring and window didnt pop up u can try straight go into alarm and untick the alarm u set
so it was only last night that i realized my alarm kept on force closing when i tried to edit it or add it. the timer, world clock and stopwatch all work fine though. i have tried to clear data and cache on both clock and alarm under all programs, but same thing happens. the alarm was working fine last week, but until i did the update-then it wasn't working anymore. i've done numerous restart and power off, even a battery pull, but to no avail. this is not a huge deal, but i do depend on it waking me up every morning. i have tried other alarm apps in the play store, but i still like the built-in one better. anyone else with this problem or know of a fix? thanks in advance.
You are not alone! Mine does the same thing!

Ditto ... on Verizon here...same thing! ugh
I have a weird problem, a few days ago I could not turn off the morning alarm because the icons in the lower bar (turn off and snooze) just couldn't be pulled up. I thought I was just too sleepy but I later realized that I can't use the lockscreen shortcuts either. The phone registers the touch but the icons just don't move upward. Also can't decline a call because of this.
Everything was fine the day before this happened, there were no system updates, no settings changed. The phone is running on stock rom, Android 4.2.2, Sense 5.0. No matter what settings I change I can't get it to work again, tried searching google and xda and found nothing similar. If I try to use the lockscreen shortcuts multiple times and then go to the app drawer and just scroll up and down sometimes a random app opens, most often messaging or mail, like it registers the lockscreen command only then. This is so annoying, does anyone know what I can try to eliminate this problem? I wouldn't like to try flashing a custom rom because I don't have any experience and am otherwise satisfied with stock system. Please excuse me if my questions are in any way stupid, I'm just a noob
I still can't find a fix for this, is there really nobody else with this problem?
Now I decided to hard reset the phone to fix this...yeah right, the shortcuts still don't work!
Random question, but for those with a Verizon tablet who have updated to 4.4, does your alarm clock work? I was late to work today when my alarm didn't ring. I tested it tonight thinking a restart would help, but every time it just goes to snooze immediately. Anyone finding this issue?
P.S. Title should be Gpad. Darn autocorrect.
Im having the same problem. I just got the tablet, and it worked for about a day. Now the alarm just snoozes itself immediately.

Weird. My fix for now has just been to install a 3rd party alarm app, but it's very frustrating. If you're having this issue, are you having any issues with YouTube or Netflix? When I try to watch videos, I sometimes get grey distortion in my images. You would know what I mean if you're having the same problem.
