MIUI 9.5.4.0 Global OTA breaks the Alarm Clock - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers

Last Thursday I got the OTA (global ROM, officially updated, it just popped up) and I'm surprised the alarm clock DOES NOT WORK. It just force closes, making you lose any scheduled alarm when the time comes.
I'm on the 9.5.4.0 ODEMIFA, that's global / Euro zone official ROM. Never messed with the bootloader, manually flashed or anything and I refuse to accept Xiaomi's suggestion "have you performed a hard reset" (come on, really?).
The problem is simple: The alarm wont ring at all. While testing, I even could see an "alarm clock stopped working" message when I programmed it minutes after to check if it worked or not. When leaving some hours, it simply wont ring, I'm assuming the messages is not showing as the screen was off. Doubt it has anything to do but tried with the phone silenced (alarm volumne was at max, though). I tried different ringtones etc, and nothing...

Either try a hard reset, or download another clock/alarm program from Google Play and try it.

WM6.5 alarm clock not always working

Using stock ROM (Vodafone) and the in-built alarm clost doesn't always work... not sure why, as it's random.
Anyone else got the same problem, or better still a reason why it's not working?
I am using a custom wav sound, which is large (attached) - but without it the alarm just doesn't wake me up!
The build-in alarm of WM is unreliable since it's birth.
Long, long time ago, when I overslept once more, I bought pTravelAlarm.
A few bucks and your problem is over.
(But there are also free alarms like Klaxon.)
I have not had any problems with the alarm actually going off. However, I have noticed that it will sometimes play not only the alarm sound but also the "reminder" sound. I'm not sure why this is and it doesn't seem to happen every day. I would suggest trying a smaller sound file or maybe set up a test of the alarm and your custom sound during some time when you can observe it. Perhaps you can see if there are any special conditions that make it not go off (other programs running, checking email or something, etc...)
I am having the same problem all of a sudden
It always worked on 6.1 (and some custom ROMs)
It worked on the official 6.5 ROM
I installed Tomtom and alarm stopped working. I removed it and the alarm worked. I installed some other apps (.NET 3.5, email scheduler, timesynctz, flitsnav) and the alarm stopped working. I haven't been able to pin it down on 1 app. I removed them one by one but the problem now persists...
I have had the same problem. Woke up to late and looked at the screen where it said that he couldn't connect to the internet (probably to sync my email). When I pressed ignore, the alarm went off, email came in etc.
Maybe it better to use Klaxon or G alarm...
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\Sounds]
“Repeat”=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{15F11F90-8A5F-454c-89FC-BA9B7AAB0CAD}]
"Options"=dword:4000001B
Ok, what does that code snipit (registry settings) actuall mean/do???
Same thing here... alarm sometimes fails to go off. I have noticed when it happens that the clock is locked up and is not at the current time. Also the top left of the screen says "messaging" instead of "Start"
I've noticed the messaging deal pop up from time to time for no particular reason... and when it does the clock stops keeping time. I think the fact that the clock stops is the only reason the alarm fails to go off. Any button or screen press will unfreeze the clock.
This is on a TP2 T-Mobile official 6.5 rom. Reflashed several times, and problem always returns. Unsure if it happened on the original shipped rom.
I've had issue and changed to SPB Time, never had an issue there.
Are you sure your phone wasn't locking up in the middle of the night? I have had that happen, the Blank Screen of Death locks me up, the phone just sits idle and alarms don't go off.
has anyone tried the registry settings of HD2Owner? You have to add the new settings? How does it work?

Phones freezes for 2 second then reboots, once a day, immediately after waking up

I've had this problem sometime over a month now, can't remember if I did anything to make it like this. I made a post somewhere about it happening the 17th of May, so it started somewhere before that.
My phone will freeze for 2 seconds and then reboot itself.
It started while I was on stock 4.0.2 and now I'm on stock 4.0.4 IMM761. I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus.
It only happens just after the phone has been woken up and something is started. The most common (as it's my go-to-way of forcing it, to see if it's still there) is after waking up the phone, sliding down the notification bar and pressing "settings", which doesn't open but the phone freezes and reboots itself. I first discovered this when I wanted to go in there to change screen brightness. It's also happened when I went into the notification bar and pressed a battery app there. It doesn't matter if I'm doing it in the lock screen or after the lock screen.
It's also happened when I wake up the phone and enter the camera through the lock screen.
It also regularly happen if I set an alarm in the morning. When my alarm is suppose to play it freezes and reboots, and when it's rebooted, the alarm has been cancelled without ever playing.
It doesn't need to wake from deep sleep to do this, I've had it happen mere minutes after trying to see if it's there.
I don't know if it has something to do with this, but the 21st of April I tried to do the "clear google services framework" trick to force 4.0.4 ( I was on yakjuxw), but it did not work and I remember my phone acting janky and I was scared it messed something up, but I seem to remember it getting better. I can't remember what exactly it did though.
I've read that 4.0.4 would fix the reboots that a lot of people were having (don't know if it was the exact same kind of reboots as mine) so I did this to make my phone a yakju (translated from Danish):
http://translate.google.dk/translat...at-modtage-opdateringer-til-din-galaxy-nexus/
I did that the 8th of June, and it worked flawlessly and I was on 4.0.4 IMM761 in no time. Unfortunately it did nothing to stop these reboots.
As part of the process of making my phone a yakju I, of course, did a complete factory reset, although I did make a copy of my entire SD and transferred everything over again after the process.
These past two weeks I've tried the following to fix it:
Clear cache partition in recovery.
Clear google services framework.
Clear media storage.
Tried to uninstall many apps, 2-3 a day, to see if they were causing it, re-installing them when I still had the same problem. If it's an app causing this I've yet to find it, but I find it weird that an app could be causing this.
It happens once a day, but never close to each other. It seems that some time has to pass before it can happen, and it only ever happens just after the phone is woken up, either by my alarm or by me opening the notification bar and pressing something there.
Please help me, this is unbearable.
Another thing, yesterday I tried to let it run without me pulling down the notification bar and pressing "settings", which would set off the freeze-reboot. I found that my phone would not freeze-reboot but very often it would "reload" app icons and widgets when I went around my homescreens. Where I can only see my wallpaper for half a second and then the icons/widgets appear. It would do this very often throughout my 1day 5hour uptime, and a couple of times I would try to force the reboot (by pressing "settings" in the notification bar), after the icons/widgets did the invisible/load thing and it didn't reboot. This must have something to do with it?
hi,
experienced this on my nexus s back then what i did is from recovery>mount and storages>formatted system, boot, and everything else except sd card.then it was all gone.btw you will have to flash your rom and kernel again as this is a full wipe.hope i helped and do this on your own risk

I haven't tried that yet. I'm trying a "RAM booster" app to see if that helps, but that doesn't sound too stable even if it does.
I'm going to do a full factory reset and installing nothing, or moving anything to the SD, and just let it run like that to see if it works.
Just writing an update for anyone googling themselves here with the same problem, I had it resolved.
I found out that if I didn't force the reboot (by turning on the phone and quickly pulling down the tray and pressing something there) it could last a long time with just the launcher resetting, but it would lead to complete freezes (anywhere I was on the phone) and would require a battery-pull.
My plan was to wait for jelly-bean before doing another factory reset, I got the JB update and it completely removed the problem. I still don't know why the problem suddenly started or what caused it, all I know is that the JB update fixed it, and the update is fantastic, my phone's never been better.

[Q] Problem - M8 goes into silent mode by itself

Hi all,
Over the last few days, very now and again, my M8 notifications can't be heard. When I check the notification volumes, they are all set to maximum, and my sound profile is still set to normal, but when I receive a text, or an alarm goes off, the phone just vibrates. I have to restart the phone to correct it, but at a random time, it'll go back to no-volume notifications. This might have all started after the recent OTA firmware update.
Can anyone help?
P.S. - Phone is not rooted.
Did you install any software since you notice the problem? It's probably an app that is causing this....easier way to find out is to clean flash your Rom and test. If everything is ok starts installing your apps.

several bugs with OOS 4.0

Hi, i updated my phone to OOS 4.0 with clean install 1 month ago.
since then i have several annoying bugs :
- Bluetooth issue : my phone doesn't detect my headphone Plantronics Backbeat pro. it worked perfectly before update
- widget issue : i use a widget for calendar (business calendar) for 3 years. Now this widget disappear randomly... every time i re-add it, it disappears like 2h or 2 days after.
- I don't find a way to put my phone in vibrate mode. before i just reduced volume until it's on vibrate, but now it doesn't reduce until vibrate (minimum is like 10% volume).
The only way i found is to use "do not disturb" mode, but i don't get notification anymore...
- i also have wifi issue (slow wifi, slow play store download), but i think it started before update (even though it comes from the phone and not from my internet).
Does anyone have those problems ? it's really annoying
Thanks in advance
First tip I can give to you is to update immediately to OOS 4.0.2 because this update fixes some bugs that are present on 4.0 (but I never had problems with 4.0).
1. I think this has fixed with 4.0.2
2. I think it's a problem of that app, have you contacted the developer? Do you use Nova Launcher or stock launcher?
3. For now you can't set to silent mode the phone with the volume buttons, OnePlus has changed how the buttons work and for now that problem remains (I don't like it too, but I use the slider, it's here for something right? ). You can set the phone in vibrate mode moving the slider on the upper mode and in the settings activate the vibration
4. That problem was fixed in 4.0.2 update
So update your phone as soon as you can, the update is great
thanks for your answer ! I'll update as soon as possible then and let you know.
I use stock launcher, i'll try to add other widget to see if it comes from that app or all apps.
And about the vibrate mode, that's what i did, i use the slider at top now, but i dont get notification like that... no notification from messenger, no vibration for messenger, no led signal etc etc
I'm on 4.0.2 and have the following bugs:-
-Fingerprint reader is sometimes totally unresponsive, (not even turned on,) after a full night of Doze mode. (Not set to aggressive Doze BTW.) Pressing the power button re-enables it.
-Gmail notification doesn't disappear when you go into the email you've been notified about. It only goes when you go back to the primary inbox or delete the email.
As far as I'm concerned these are minor issues. On the whole, I'm happy with One Plus and don't have any major bugs. :victory:

Good Try other widget, yes :good:
If you don't receive notification, you have to set the app to don't optimize it in the battery settings, here you have to set to don't optimize all the apps you want notification for (whatsapp, messenger, email...).
Let me know when you've updated the phone :laugh:

Top mode is "silent" and you should be getting notifications in that mode. The middle one is "do not disturb", which blocks most notifications (depending on your settings).

OK i updated, first thing i can say is that the Bluetooth still doesn't work.. it doesn't even detect my headphone.
For the rest i'll see in long term utilization
I downgraded my device to OS 3.2.8 since Nougat (both official OS4 and OS4.02 and LineageOS) has broken bluetooth.
I can connect to my car audio but it barely works. And when I try to use the phone over BT it breaks and I need to reboot OP3. Also I have problems with my bluetooth speaker (JBL Charge2+). It connects to it much slower and sometimes it stops working.
I already complained to OP3, they put me to a remote session, downgraded my phone, I tested it in Marshmallow and saw that it works, then upgraded again to OS4.02 (wasnt working) and then tried LineageOS hoping that custom roms might have it working but it behaved exactly the same.
They told me to wait for next update, but I dont think they will do anything.
Try to submit a report ticket to them. More people bugs them, more chance they will try anything.
Anyway I am already looking for another device. This is second OnePLus device I used and both had software issues. Luckily CyanogenMod was working fine on OP1 back then. Now even the custom roms cant help me.

Question OxygenOS 12 C.44 (Europe) issue with alarm

Hello,
I have upgraded my phone to the latest Android 12 update and most things seems ok and not seen the issues that was reported in the previous releases, besides things looks a bit different as I said it seems to run OK for me.
The one "big" issue i seem to have is with the alarm that I can't snooze or turn it off from the lock screen, it plays the alarm at the right time but to turn it off I have to unlock the phone and pull down on the notification bar and then hit disable.
So was wondering if this is working for anyone else OK on the c44 update or not? If it does I might try a factory reset and see if it works after that, but dont really want to have to take a sledge hammer approach after just upgrading the phone.

I´ve had my device (EU C44) last night on that wireless charging station and in the morning the alarm started regularly. The screen was on and I was able to swipe the alarm away. Just like before on Android 11.

Thanks, guess i might have to do a factory reset see if it resolve it for me...I guess I might hold of a bit see if they release another update shortly as it does feel a bit like a beta not a final release.
Read about this issue elsewhere. It doesn't happen on my phone.
Same issua here. Sounds like a small problem, but this is huge problem at 0600 when alarm starts and you try to shut it quickly so your wife doesn't wake
Tried to change all kinds of settings, no help.
Clock -> Alarm -> volume and power button - Tried all 3 different settings here, no change. Alarm start, but screen remains black.
Mine works fine. But i'm on ColorOS C.44 (European phone/region)
I Don't like that missing alarm option : Alarm starts even with the phone off". So i set it to Airplane Mode.
Well, now it works on both clocks: op and google.
I removed both, reboot, installed and boom, works nice...
I facotry reset my phone and it is now working perfectly and I also fixed some other weird issues I have had for a while on Android 11 as well after the upgrade to Android 12.
The only annoying thing was that it didnt restore my SMS messages from my googlebackup which has been working fine for years on previous devices so not sure why that was, guess it did clear out all the old cr*p I had there
Well... worked fine yesterday when testing, but this morning phone was black again when alarm started. This is actually bugging me more than it should. Maybe factory reset is the next step. Or maybe I just go back to android11 and update to 12 when 12L comes, hopefully volume control in chromecast works then as promised...
Me too expereince this bug... Tried factory reset too ... But the issue still remains

Same for me. I had donr s factory reset after the upgrade and faced the alarm issue, had to restart the phone to turn off the alarm. Eventually I reverted back to android 11.
Guess I spoke to soon as this morning I couldnt disable the alarm without unlocking and then pull down on the notification bar...very annoying please OnePlus can we get a stable release of Android 12 thanks.
Same thing here. Is really a annoying problem and still remains after several upgrades of color OS 12.

Yup, me too when I test it the screen goes on correctly but every morning this don't happen. I'm on c44 eu, wipe data don't work .
Alarm worked fine this morning let me disable it by swiping.
I guess the point is though for being a "stable" official upgrade it feels far to much like they using everyone as beta testers.

You're right. I found this option (i don't remember if there is in os 11 too but I don't think so) by default is off (turn on for disable). It say "allows you to stop active trace logs when a bug report is initiated" .
In one plus community app when I report the alarm issue they told me to screenshot the time when that happens. This aroused my suspicions so I found this out.
Same issue on c.44. I fix it by install Google stock clock.
And also I come from 11 to 12 with clean install. So I think that factory reset will not help.
All problems are resolved now and phone works like it should. Alarm is working nicely, I can control volume from phone volume-buttons when casting to chromecast,...
Solution was pretty simple: downgraded back to 11

Unfortunately for me not work. Isn't an app issue, it's a system problem.
