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!

Hi,
I've noticed a couple times tha the alarm doesnt sound on my phone until I reboot it with the reset button on the side. Its a little troubling as I'm using it as an alarm clocl while away from home on business.
Has anyone else had this proble, any ideas on a fix ?
Cheers

I had this too.
Now I'm using SPB Time and have no troubles at all.
Seems to be a problem with duplicate or hanging notifications. They can get messed up by adding/amending/deleting appointments on the device and the PC then syncing. Try MemMaid which includes a cleaner for these as well as other useful stuff - free eval!
Hi I wonder if anyone can help, I've searched the forum but not seen a similar problem, I recently upgraded my orbit to WM6 and everything seemed to be fine but I am now having an annoying problem with the alarms. I have three alarms set 06:00; 06:10; 06:20 for everyday of the week but after I dismiss these when they go off on a morning, I am still getting alarms going off for 7:00; 8:00 and 9:00? Can anyone advise on what I can do, I've tried a soft reset but that hasn't fixed it, has anyone seen anything like this happen?
Thanks
Andrew

I had something quite similar happen after the clock change last year. I had to be sure I was up on time on the Sunday morning of the change so I manually set my clock back instead of waiting for WM5 (NOTE: WM5, not WM6) to adjust automatically. I ended up with duplicate alarm an hour apart - not at 'odd' times like you seem to have.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I have MemMaid and I used that to identify and delete all alarm reminders in the system after having turned off all alarms in the Time Settings page. I then re-established the alarms at the proper times and all was well.
Might be worth a try?

Hi, would you kindly explain in a bit more details? How do you identify & delete the alarm reminders using memmaid? I have memmeaid installed - pls guide me through. I am having double alarm issues.
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
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.
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.
