Anyone else having issues with their alarm clock on the Fire Phone? In the morning, the alarm will go off (which is a good thing) but I can't turn it off (Which is a bad thing). I've been having to turn the phone off completely to shut it down. Most of the time, the screen will come on giving me the option to swipe to turn it off or snooze, but swiping doesn't work. Some times, the screen does not even give me those options. I downloaded a different alarm app, but am having the same issue.
Ironically I've had this same problem and it was possibly after freezing certain system apps for more memory. The only solution I've found as opposed to rebooting the phone is holding down the home button which triggers voice input and stops the alarm.
Hope this helps.

I almost missed work today! My alarm went off for like 1 second and then shuts itself off. I'm wonder if Next lock screen has anything to do with it. I have to play with it later tonight. This is kind of unacceptable.
I was not able to reproduce the issue again this evening (even though it happened with both my morning alarms) and I seem to have made things worse. Messing around with LockScreen.apk and LockScreenPreviewer.apk, my screen no longer turns on when the alarm sounds. I have to unlock the phone and go into the alarm's notification menu to stop it.
Also, I managed to accidentally delete my backup of /system/priv-app/LockScreen.apk. The one in /system/app/LockScreen.apk doesn't work when I put it in priv-app and update-fire-phone-35.4.6.3_user_463001620.bin doesn't even have a /system/priv-app/LockScreen.apk.
EDIT:
Screw it. I moved over to 4.6.3. Problem solved. I'm back on the standard horrible lockscreen for now. But at least the alarm seems to be working again.

I'm relatively new to the phone, so it maybe somethign I'm doing wrong however I'll explain incase there's something amiss.
I recently installed SPB Time, mostly because despite what I did, the inbuilt alarm on the phone wouldn't repeat (it takes a bomb to wake me up, so I need something loud and long to get me up!).
The SPB Time works great, has a very annoying ring on it, however it just won't go off unless I press the standby button on the right hand side of the phone.
This morning as an example, I awoke at 05:45, the alarm was due to go off at 06:00. I thought I'd wait to see what happened. Sure enough, 06:00 came and went, picked up the phone, pressed the standby button and the alarm went off!
Any ideas what could be wrong. Am I doing something wrong?
You need to let the phone disable itself.
When you press the right "close" button to disable your screen the alarm won't go off.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yep, thats what I thought. However last night I deliberatly let the phone disable itself and it still didnt work. I can literally sit here at my desk, set the alarm for the next 5 minutes, let the phone disable itself and the alarm wont go off. As soon as I press the standby button, off it goes.
Software or hardware related? Im at a loss to be honest.
i had the same probleme
and the solution is simple !
you need to instal spb clock in internal memoty and not in storage
and it's ok
for sure it take 4mo but you had to choose
regards
Hate to say it, but I've tried that and it's still the same.
It's an old version, so wonder if the new version has the same problems.
I've got SPB Time and it works fine. There is an option in the alarm page for "enable wakeup tweak" make sure that's ticked...
Get the latest version,,, 2.1.4 build 947.
If you have SPB Time 2.x.x then you should be able to use your serial code in the latest versions...
(Works for me fine if installed in storage card too btw...)
Hi,
Anyone quickly shut off their alarm to find it won't turn off? I've done it a few times now. If the alarm goes off and you quickly swipe down, the alarm continues to sound and the only way I've found to turn it off is to switch off the phone fully.
Yup had that too...
Very Annoying, having to apologize to the people around you for the constant alarm sounding during the reboot......
If anybody knows a fix ?
i had this problem too today, my suggested fix is to go into settings and enable the volume keys to also switch off the alarm, cant vouch for it as definitive as it happened to me for the first time today but its worth a try
I use the DeskClock app as my alarm, this morning the alarm activated and suddenly turned off. I wonder what had happened but didn't make much of it. I woke up did my things and then came back to the phone to check what went wrong with the alarm. The phone actually called a random person in my contact list after the alarm had begun, has anyone here experienced the same?
Maybe you were trying to turn it off and pressed some wrong buttons in a half-awake sleep haze?
I am always turning my alarm off when half-asleep and then when I wake up late I'm like 'WTF! My alarm didn't go off!?'
Until my wife tells me it did, but I turned it off.
If you swipe the phone to unlock it, regardless if you actually draw your pattern, that will turn the alarm off.
I did it on accident when I was trying to hit Snooze.
sounds like you need an app called "call confirm" in the app store, then you wont be dialing by accident
The phone was lying on the floor and I didn't touch it. It was a good 10 feet away from me. I'll try the call confirm app. Thanks for the replies.
Do you guys often find that the alarm notification icon sometimes disappears for no reason?
Yeah, mine comes on and goes off for no apparent reason. Have looked at all the setting but have not found a solution. Not a deal breaker though since there are so many other alarm apps on the market, although it would be good to get the stock on working reliably.
no issue with mine. i purchased mine 8 days ago and i use the alarm every day with no issues so far. i am running the bell rom and am rooted
This happens with mine as well, but no issue of the alarm not coming on at the correct time.
this happens to me too!! i've my morning alarm set for 7am all weekdays. however, whenever i turn off the phone, or after an one-week cycle, the notification icon would disappear.
Although it still indicates that the alarms are "on" when i look at all alarms within the Clock app, i just get paranoid that i wont go off the next day (since the notification icon disappears and the lock screen does not indicate an alarm is active).
does anyone know a fix to this?? please help!
Hey folks,
I have this strange issue that I don't know how to solve, or how to even report to Xiaomi.
I'm using App Lock to lock few applications because of my daughter. I don't want her to mess around things she is not allowed to touch when I give her the phone.
Of course, first thing I locked is Phone and Contacts app, to prevent unplanned calls. I'm using Always On display, and whenever someone calls me, screen doesn't wake up or change at all! Phone just vibrates and rings (if it's not in the silent mode), but there is no absolutely any indication on the screen that there is an incoming call. Same thing happens even when Always On is disabled.
At first I thought this is bug inside EMUI, and that it will get fixed. 1 year passed since I have the phone, and it still isn't fixed. I tried googling and enabling all permissions on phone app to allow drawing above other apps and all those permissions, but it didn't help.
Today I tried to remove Phone app from the App Lock, and it started working. All this time issue was caused by the App Lock.
I didn't find any settings for the App Lock that will somehow loosen up the permissions, so I'm clueless at this point.
Does anyone have any idea how can I solve this, while still having Phone app locked up?
Thanks!
I don't have a fix for that issue, but instead of using Phone @ App Lock, you could Pin an App (Not sure if MIUI has this tho) and the person would have to unlock the screen to enter other apps,
or try Google's Parental Control feature perhaps...
EMUI doesn't support pinning, at least I didn't find it.
I solved it by installing another app lock application (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hideitpro.app.protect) which I use to lock only Phone app. It properly locks the access, but shows the incoming calls. Thanks for help!
