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.

Uptime around 24 hours causes problem - anyone?

I just want to see if anyone else have the same problem:
My S3 I747M phone ringtone will start acting weird after the system uptime near 24 hours. For example, ringtone would not ring and it will vibrate instead and when I check the phone, the phone is set to ring. Another time is sms ringtone "whisper" will only ring half of the ringtone.
The only method to solve this problem is give my S3 a reboot everyday. Usually a day or so my phone will start acting wired and it will need a reboot. Just wondering, is there anyone else experiencing a similar problem?

Are you running custom rom ? could be rom or kernel issue.

I only have issues with Skype Mobile after long periods of up time. Nothing else besides that

Maybe the damn phone just have too many bugs.

start
restart once a day.

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
Galaxy S3
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

[FIX] [GSM] BT Temp Fix for CM9 and CM9 based ROM users

Only for CM9 and CM9 based ROM users :cyclops:​Did your phone just switch off and wouldn't turn on completely when turning on the bluetooth one day? :crying:
Do you really need your data/messages/settings/alarms/call log back? :crying:
Do you really need to access the internet or call someone urgently? :crying:​:fingers-crossed:!! HERE'S THE FIX !! :fingers-crossed:​OK, So, it's actually not a fix but a way you could get back your precious messages (if there were any), settings, alarms, call logs, etc.. everything!!
It has happened to me the third time while using AOKP Milestone 6 for the HTC One V..
So one day you just turned on bluetooth and your phone got switched off and got mad . It started getting switched off within 10 seconds as soon as it started. You have important messages, etc. whose backup you don't have. You're going mad, you just don't know what you should do within those 10 secs.. DO THIS -
First, of all, I'm not any big man to even give out a fix or something.. But what I did really helped me to get back my data..
I was using CM9 UnOfficial for the One V and there came a bad day on which my phone entered a bootloop and I was ruined with all my customizations..
I loved CM9 so I tried AOKP Milestone 6 then...
Again there came to be a day when my phone started switching off as soon as it started within 10 seconds..
I had my Airplane Mode ON 'cause I was in my class and when I turned on bluetooth, my phone went mad.
In those 10 secs for which the phone was on, it was laggy, just preparing to shut down.
I saw that bluetooth was turned off when I pull the notfication bar down. Tried to turn it on, asuming it would solve the problem, but all in vain.
Then it was really important for me to call home due to some reason.
When I tried to turn off the Airplane Mode, the phone immediately got switched off again.
Then I did this :
1. Opened the dialer app.
2. Typed *#*#4636#*#*
3. The 'Testing' menu appeared.
4. Tapped on the 'Phone Information' option. (10 secs were about to get over)
5. Scrolled down and pressed 'Turn on radio' button.
6. BOOM! The phone didn't switch off again! -The Airplane Mode was still on, BUT I was connected to my EDGE Network and could also access the internet!
Then I could call / use the mobile for a while till I reached home.. I made a backup of several things on my phone using JS Backup.. Didn't dare to mess with the airplane or bluetooth buttons them.. Then changed the ROM when I reached home.

Oops..
Ohh .. Sorry moderators..! I think I started this thread in the wrong section.. Someone please move it to the 'One V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting' section.

I'm not a CM9 user but congrats that you've found out a workaround for it. Something smels fishy in your problem cause no one reported this kind of behavior before and I am 100% sure that maxwen's work on both bluetooth and cm9 was flawless.

I am sure of it because it's been happening like 20 times now and every time I am late for work I tell em the truth but nobody believes me because when I set the alarm for like 5 minutes from the current time - IT RINGS!! But when I set it for tomorrow it doesn't
Please give me advices, this thing has been happening with multiple ROMS not only one, I mostly use STOCK roms not modified
I used mostly the roms of:
teshxx - the stock international version
also used t-mobile stock rom and it's happening
can some of the devs please check this out because it's very annoying, can also somebody confirm if this thing can have something to do with the
settings - date & time - Automatic date and time (Use network-provided time)
Please HELP!!!!!!!

Have you tried using a different alarm app like alarm clock xtreme or similar... or setting up an event/reminder in calendar using notification sound for a backup?

Make sure you remember to select the days for it to ring.

I have set the alarm correctly... but it's not working though - the strange thing is that when i set it for like 5 minutes for now it's alright, I did the installation with FULL WIPE of cache/data/system so... I'm sure the problem is not from me

Did you notice if it's happening only when on Wifi, or on 4G network also?
I was thinking that maybe it's your Wifi at home that doesn't update the time.

I had a similar thing happen to me. I don't know if we have the same issue, but couldn't figure out what was going on for a while!
Turns out I had "blocking mode" on, and inside one of those settings, the alarm volume was set to mute. Blocking mode was on from 20:00 until 06:00 so when my alarm went off at 05:30, I couldn't hear it because of blocking mode. I just unchecked that box and it works!
Good luck!
