Alarm Clock not rinning when the phone is off - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Did you found any way to let the alarm ring when the phone if completely off.
I really want to avoid keeping the phone on (even in airplane mode) since Android OS is comsuming so much.
Thanks a lot for your help.

If you mean that phone is totally powered off, then, how is the clock going to run when there's no power?

I've had previously two phones, one with a schdules downtime and uptime so that was not an issue and another (Xiaomi Redmi note) which the alarm clock was ringing when the phone was off.
So, i am getting a bit lost since i don't have see any scheduled downtime and uptime as told, the alarm clock doesn't ring when the phone is off.

Unless there's a timer to turn the phone on/off in which case the phone is not really powered off but in "hibernation" aka standby mode.

@gontie..you might want to check the posts is "zenfone 2 battery better or the same". Some users have reported reasonable battery performance. Hope this helps in the meantime. ☺

My One plus one did it

You want an alarm, but you want to completely turn off your phone over night? Erm, buy an alarm clock?

I'm curious. How does it work? The phone is completely powered down and the alarm can turn the phone on (with all the start up logo and whatnots)? sorry but I don't have the OPO and still waiting for Zf2.

I don't but it did turn itself on and then off when I stopped the alarm.

Which means the phone was actually "on" when the alarm went off. When the alarm was stopped, the phone rebooted?

No it was turned off as I had battery issues.

Ok..I learnt something here. Apparently the OPO does have this feature. Unfortunately I am not using one so was pretty curious about this feature.

I don't think the Zenfone 2 has this feature..

My previous phone is OPP* Find 5 Mini, when the phone is completely off because battery is drained in the night, i plug the power and go to sleep, in the morning which i set the specific time for alarm, the phone will "boot up" and rings.

Desire and Alarms when off....

All the phones I've ever had until now have had the ability to set an alarm that will still go off if set, even if the phone is turned off. Is there a way to do it on the Desire?
Really want to be able to turn the phone off at night but have the alarm go off still.....
any thoughts please?
That's simply impossible with an Android device.
It's true, it's impossible.
If you want you could just Power Control widget to turn everything off, and flight mode on, and brightness down, to use minimum power. It uses a couple of percent overnight.
I'll give that a try then. Pity that this is my first phone not to do it

Only dumb "feature" phones can do it. I don't know of any smartphone that can do that; they work totally differently. They're essentially computers, you know.
Just put it in normal standby, and stop refreshing Facebook etc every 5 minutes.

my battery drains a good 15% in a night on standby usually..... I have my refreshing set on manual and data off until I do check... typically once every few hours. Battery life doesn't last me a day.

There is. But connection to a charger is required. Try NoMoarPowah! app. You can set a custom time to boot your phone. Like 5 mins before your alarm starts.
Just charge your phone before sleep , and after it got 80-100% remove the charger , put your phone next to you , airplane mode on , the battery will last longer and the alarm will ring , and the battery is safe , you can try kilavuzcu method too if you want

Thank for your answer, but still it need a charger to do that. But i want it to work like the old phone alarm. Maybe i can wait for the developer to make it happen.

I don't think there will ever be a solution which doesn't need charger. When an android phone is off, it's really off. You can't run any software if device is completely off.
But why you want to turn your phone off? You can still use an app like "Deep Sleep Battery Saver". When screen off, it turn off wifi, mobile network, other apps etc and you don't need to turn off your phone, your alarm is going to work fine and when you wake up your battery will stay at %98-96.

Alarm?

Ok, so, I have noticed - and not just my tablet - but every android device I have ever had, the alarm has failed to go off in the morning, even though it's set. it will go off if you set it for a few minutes, maybe hours, but if you leave an alarm to go off by itself at an important time, it fails you. I wake up, and the notification is in my notification saying "Alarm set for xx:00 AM" and I tap it, and THEN it goes off, even saying that the alarm was set for the whatever the time was when I tapped the notification. USELESS. same thing on my phone, and my previous phone. Is this something with android or what? I need to sort this out or I am going to end up being late for something really important!
My alarm has only failed to go off if the case is closed. It's a minor inconvenience, but I just leave the case open so the alarm actually goes off.
I agree, if you are using a case with a magnet that turns your Tab screen on and off, you need to leave the cover open when using the alarm function .

Not only magnets but the cover itself turns the screen off.
Took out both magnets from the cover and still screen goes black when closing it, same story with alarm - screen needs to be uncovered to have alarm sound in the morning
Well....I did enjoy the extra hour and 1/2 sleep I got the first time I used it with the case closed!

I really think this is a major flaw on an otherwise great tab.
I have the 315 with a TPU case (no Cover).. and the alarm performs great every time. Never failed me yet..*** knock wood***
Are you guys using the built-in stock alarm clock? Download one from the Play Store. I have never had this problem on the Android platform, but then again I have never used the built-in alarm clock. I also don't use a case but I fail to see how that would make a difference.

[Q] Alarms not going off

I'm on Chuppa Rom (latest build) and I seem to be having an issue with my notifications and my alarm.
My alarms: I have timely and Alarm Clock Xtreme on because I've had bad experiences with the stock alarm app in the past. Timely still rings the alarm but not at the time I set. Maybe a few minutes later after the time I've set it to. My Alarm Clock Xtreme doesn't even ring. I have the notification of the next alarm on my notification tray as do I have the widget on the home screen. Also, my WhatsApp notifications too come in late (sometimes by half an hour!!). My sync is turned on so I don't know what else I can do.
Please advise,

Did your greenify those apps?
Also, the new "Quiet mode" seems to silence alarms as well so make sure it isn't turned on during your alarms or give them priority.

Greenify is amazing, just don't use it on alarms app as they might not 'wake' to wake you up
There's also a notification setting (for wakelocks) which you should go over, make sure those apps aren't turned off or limited.

I just realised that Greenify hibernates app and not keeps them 'awake, lol.
That won't fix the issue of it always forgetting to wake me up.
Any idea how to proceed?

Greenify was more of a side note. I only mentioned it cause I did greenify my alarms before without thinking that it wouldn't go off.
But you should check your app notification settings (in your phone settings). It's a wakelock control that was added with Lollipop.

I'm sorry, I seem to be a little lost. I tried looking for the wakelock control but to no avail :\
What does the wakelock control do? Does it keep apps awake (that I need to apply it to my alarm app)?

If you don't know what/were it is, chances are the it's not the issue. It is used to turn off wakelock notifications but by default, they should be activated. More details here
Do you have any app that help you phone's battery or 'speed boosters'?
Here, try this:
Settings, sound then notifications and clock, checked the priority option, then selected turned on priority sound profile.
did you find out what was causing it not to ring? Im always paranoid my alarm is going to fail lol

Sorry for the late reply. I just noticed my notifications now. I don't tend to login too often.
My UI seems to be on sleep mode for some reason. As in, I'll unlock the phone wondering why no alarm went off and notice that the 3 different clocks I have on my homescreen as widgets all show the time from a few hours back and then after a couple of seconds refresh and show the correct time at which the alarm from 10 minutes ago now begins to ring. I still don't know what's causing this. All this time I've been using my old phone as my alarm. I'm thinking of moving onto another ROM. Maybe an AOSP one despite the bugs just because of this bug. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this problem it would be much appreciated.

No, and no. Sometimes it'll ring like usual. Other times it won't even ring. I suspect it's because the clock function sometimes tends to lag out and go unresponsive. You know how sometimes if you've got multiple windows open then later on you go back to one of them and everything has to be drawn up again as though it wasn't running at all in the background and that it was turned off for the time being? That's how my clock seems to operate. I can see that when I unlock my phone for a short moment the time is the time a few hours ago and it needs to resync for a second before it displays the correct time. Other times it's responsive and it tells the correct time and in those instances the alarm rings without issue. But every 3 or 4 times, it turns unresponsive on me and my alarm doesn't kick in.

Do you have a App ops in your settings? Where you could give the clock app priority or whitelist it.
Otherwise, I remember reading about someone fixing that issue setting his alarms with the calendar app, not ideal but it's a workaround.

Does 360 Hibernation Master app work on Marshmallow for Z5??

Nope, haven't tried,
also didn't know it yet (it appears relatively new)
looks it's offering something similar like Greenify's Shallow Hibernation + Disabling of sync (connection switches) + maximum CPU frequency while screen is off,
looks great from first impression.
I guess it also enforces aggressive Doze ?

zach & kbab,
No no, it's a GREAT app! Read below. I just want to know if anyone's tried it on Marshmallow + Z5 yet. I want to get Xperia X Performance this summer so want to know if it works with Marshmallow or not. I have the S7 and it doesn't work on it, but did on my Z3 which ran on Lollipop.
The ONLY issue I had with my former Z3 was the Stamina Mode on it was great but buggy, and would cause the battery power to "free fall" once in a great while, then I'd have to factory reset. It also was messing with my incoming & outgoing MMS (group and/or photo) text messages. But once I factory reset my Z3 and just kept it off, ALL was fine and perfect. I also found an app that does what Stamina Mode does BUT BETTER, and it only costs $1.95 (free version is good but you want the full pay version, which is done in-app). It's called 360 Hibernation Master. It doesn't work on my S7, but it DID work very well on my Z3, so I assume it also will on the Xperia X Performance. I would leave my phone uncharged and on overnight, and the next morning, it'd still be at the SAME percentage (6-7 hours later)!! A must-have app if you own an Xperia!
Just don't EVER turn on Stamina Mode! I mean, unless someone on here verifies that they fixed it. It's possible that since 2014 when the Z3 came out that Sony had fixed Stamina Mode, but I can't verify that and I won't assume it either. Stamina Mode takes 15 minutes after the screen turns off to kick in, but 360 kicks in IMMEDIATELY after the screen turns off, so yeah it's better. Phone works PERFECTLY when it's running, with no text messages/IMs/e-mails/calls/etc missed.

So far i've tried it with bluetooth, and it turns off directly when the screen goes off and turns back on again after a couple of seconds when the screen is back on.
Edit: the CPU hibernation lock goes at negative values when enabled.

kbab,
Exactly! Does EXACTLY what it's supposed to do! I believe if you were using the Bluetooth for music etc. though, it would let it keep running even when the screen turns off. But feel free to test that out and post your results here.
Negative value? Not sure I follow. You should turn on EVERY option in 360 (in all 3 sections) to get the full benefit of the app. Of course to do so you must pay the $1.95. But Google Play Store gives you like 2-3 hours to get a refund if you want one.
And just to confirm, you ARE running your Z5 on Marshmallow right?
What I'd like to ask you to do is (using the FULL PAID version of 360 of course), tonight when you go to bed, note the percentage of which your phone's battery power is at, then in the morning, check it again and post here both percentages, if you don't mind? Then we'll BOTH know if it really works or not on Marshmallow and Xperia. On my S7, it does nothing, but I'm REALLY hoping that's a Samsung thing and not a Marshmallow thing. Your input would be VITAL to finding this out.
Thanks!

Running Marshmallow, it even lacks Stamina mode. I have the full version also.
When CPU hibernation lock is enabled it shows -2MHz and sometimes even less.
Even with music on my bluetooth headset it disconnects after a couple of seconds after screen going off.
I will do the night test and write back tomorrow when I wake up, and no, I never charge my phone during the night.

kbab,
I can't really say or comment on the performance of 360 without you getting the full paid version. -2 MHz sounds WAY OFF though.
Do you have Stamina Mode ON on your Z5? If so, turn it off and check again.
Under "Settings Hibernation Lock", there is an option there to enable/disable Bluetooth toggle. I'd disable it and try the Bluetooth test again (WHILE music is playing).

Disabling bluetooth under settings hibernation lock would simply make it run normally again, right?

Yes, I believe disabling bluetooth in 360's settings WOULD let Bluetooth run normally again. Obviously this might affect battery power slightly, but 360 should still be like 95% effective despite that. And again, make sure to DISABLE Stamina Mode completely.
That would be awesome if you did do it!
Thanks!

You have Marshmallow right? Please confirm.

So please let me know if & when you get the full paid version and if you will do the "overnight" test tonight. It would be great if you did, but I understand if you don't want to.
Thanks!

Apparently you haven't read my previous edited post, so here comes an Copy-paste:
Running Marshmallow, it even lacks Stamina mode. I have the full version also.
When CPU hibernation lock is enabled it shows -2MHz and sometimes even less.
Even with music on my bluetooth headset it disconnects after a couple of seconds after screen going off.
I will do the night test and write back tomorrow when I wake up, and no, I never charge my phone during the night.

kbab,
How is it possible you have an Xperia Z phone WITHOUT Stamina Mode?? This is very puzzling!
If you disable Bluetooth in 360's settings (not ACTUAL Bluetooth setting in main phone's settings), then it SHOULD work just fine when screen is off. I never tested this out though as I never use bluetooth.
Ok MANY THANKS on agreeing to do the test!

Sony decided to not include Stamina Mode in their first MM release, hopefully they do it in the next update.
Here's also an screenshot of that weird CPU hibernation lock.

Really?? Interesting. Unless they 100% fix that buggy issue I had with my Z3, they shouldn't re-release it. You have no idea how many problems it caused me. Well, you do now but still. lol I didn't really FULLY enjoy my Z3 until I got wise and kept it off and used 360.
Wow! I can't explain that one at all. Only thing is, I noticed you have the bottom section (Settings Hibernation Lock) options all turned off. Please make sure those are all on before bedtime tonight. And please turn off ACTUAL bluetooth in PHONE'S settings too as I would never leave it on overnight myself.
See screenshot of my CPU lock. This is on my S7, but still. WTF with -2? lol
Thanks!

It went from 100% to 84% with Android OS being the highest drainer according to the battery stats.
Enabling the settings hibernation lock for Bluetooth enables it when screen turns on, even though I left it off from default. I disabled it from settings hibernation lock to prevent that.
Negative values have fixed itself.
Going to try it again this night.

kbab,
That's weird about the drop. Glad to hear the negative issue went away. Maybe it just needed to adjust to your phone??
Yeah keep Bluetooth off and I guess that Bluetooth setting in 360 as well too. I never had that issue though so again, weird.
Looking forward to your next update!

Not a single percent of drainage overnight (I slept 6 hours), it was on 42% constantly. This app is amazing and I thank you for letting me know about it.

YES YES YES YES YESSS!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
I usually sleep 6-7 hours too, so that helps a lot!
No man, thank YOU for being open to trying it out and paying that $1.95 in order to get the full experience!!! I'm really happy to hear it worked out, not just for me, but for you (and anyone reading this lol) as well!
I think you JUST sealed my S7's fate. lol The DAY the Xperia X Performance comes out, I'm buying it and selling my S7. (I was probably gonna do that anyway, but now I have one more GOOD reason to do so as well.)
So you ONLY disabled "Bluetooth" from 360's "Settings Hibernation Lock" (bottom section) settings? Nothing else? And you left Bluetooth off all night too right? (Please answer both.)
If you have ANY issues come up, let me know. Especially if you notice any lagging that you didn't before installing 360, or if MMS (group and/or photo) messages or IMs (etc) don't seem to be going/coming through. Either post here or PM me. I don't expect any of that to happen since I myself didn't have ANY of those issues, but still, let me know if you do ASAP please.
Thanks again so much kbab!!

I actually enabled Bluetooth in the settings hibernation lock again and left it off from the system itself. Before, as you remember, Bluetooth was enabling itself even though I left it off default, now it seems to have fixed itself.
Bluetooth was off the entire night
Thanks again, for now the phone works like it used to before I installed this, nothing have changed, except battery of course.

kbab,
Ok that's good to know. So phone's (actual) Bluetooth feature was off, but you re-enabled it in 360's settings. Got it! That's how I did it too on my Z3.
Yeah it sounds like it did. I found it strange you were having that and the -2 MHz issue, but I'm glad to hear it resolved itself.
Great!! If I don't hear back from you in the next few weeks I'll assume all is great!!
Well, enjoy the "new" Z5 and take care kbab!
