[Q] Alarm BUG - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
My alarm goes on at the set time, however, even when I dont touch the phone while the alarm is ON at that time. It just goes OFF automatically after 30 secs!
Which made me oversleep twice already !
Is there a fix for the bug? The alarm should just be turned off when phone is touched but NOT automatically.
Thank you for your time in advance!

Hi! Are you using any memory booster app like cleanmaster? If so be sure your the app doesn't prevent the clock app! It had worked for me!

[Q] Alarm Clock

First post for me.
I have tried to look for settings that would "fix" this, but havent been able to find anything.
What I am trying to fix, is, When my alarm goes off, it goes off for i guess 2 minutes. Then after that, it does nothing. In the taskbar at the top, I see an icon for the alarm, and it reads:
ALARM
"Alarm silenced after 2 minutes"
This happens even if i do not touch the phone, no snoozing, nothing is done to the phone. It does not keep ringing my alarm. Is this behavior expected?
I tried it multiple times this AM with the same results.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I'm assuming ur on stock 2.1 build. your alarm sucks. 'better alarm' clock goes off for 10 mins I think but still turns itself off. Best alarm I found so far if the stock 2.2 alarm clock. U would probably be better off upgrading to froyo via dk28.I'll c if I can find an apk for you. Can't guarantee it will work on eclair though

Sense alarm sucks - alternatives?

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:

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.

[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.

Phone alarm doesn't turn on !!!

Please help my phone alarm doesn't turn on and I'm desperate to fix it... 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!

alarm clock won't shut off

Ok on my LG my alarm won't shut off so I have to shut off the whole phone and reboot. This is very annoying. Is this a glitch on the LG?
Ok, I turned off my alarm clock and this sucker still turned on and I still had to reboot my phone for it to turn off. Is this a glitch from LG? or a glitch when you root your phone?

Neither but it is probably from messing around with your rooted phone.

I've never heard of such a glitch from rooting any phone. Try Un installing and installing different alarm clock apk
It's really annoying. I really don't like installing apps that my phone already has.
Sorry but I just found out what was causing this; it was an app that I really never even turned on but it was activated on its own. and it was the app that was giving me the headache of shutting off my phone in order to turn off the alarm. I don't know if I should mention the app.
