Anyone seen this before? I can turn off my alarm and change the time but no matter what the time is, the alarm shows matching the time. On stock, rooted.
It looks like it might be an app that's causing it. I thought tasker so I uninstalled it but no luck. Anyway to see what apps are setting alarms?

I know mine is due to tasker's option for "use reliable alarms" set to always. Maybe reinstall tasker remove that preference and see

usually i charge my desire during the night but it happened a couple of times that my morning alarm didnt start.
is it possible that the alarm doesnt start if the phone is charging?
did you experience this issue?
bye

Are you using a task killer?
When i first started using one, it was killing the clock task, which meant that the alarm was not going off in the morning. If you are using one, try putting the clock on the ignore list, or better still get rid of the task manager.
Use JuiceDefender if you want to save battery!

yes i'm using a taskkiller, i'll try to put clock in the ignore list.
hope this works
thank you

You didn't mention if you had the phone switched on or not when you were charging, so it is worth mentioning that if your phone is switched off, your Alarms will not sound because nothing is running. This is in contrast to say most Symbian phones or Blackberry's which will automatically switch themselves on to sound an alarm.
That being said, as has been stated previously, your task killer will be a problem if you've not set it to ignore the alarm app.

you're right i didnt mention... it was on!
to tell the truth i decided to run the clock screen before sleeping (the black and white one) to be sure that the clock was running...
but next night i'll give another try.

i had exactly the same problem this morning and because of that i was late to work
I'm having this problem too, I've got Advanced Task Killer installed, I'm going to uninstall it now.

...mmm, i'm using atk too.
as i told before i added the clock app to the ignore list and tomorro morning i'll have the answer (in the meantime the alarm of my universal is still set )
bye
ATK is not a problem, just make sure you add clock to the ignore list.
I have been using ATK on my Hero since August, and on the desire since i got it. Once clock is added to the ignore list, i have not missed an alarm since.
and besides, you don't need to keep killing eveything all the time. STOP it. i only use it to kill certain things that i never use which keep autostarting, like Stocks! I leave everything else alone.
ok it worked!!!

I have a random/phantom alarm that goes off on my phone and cant figure out why, or where it is coming from settings wise? Has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be much appreciated!
Have you checked the alarm clock? Maybe you accidentally turned it on.
Check the alarm clock....if you have alarm clock v2 [app] you can set one there, but if you are on the "clock" widget/app that comes with your rom, you can have 2 alarms set and not know it.
I checked my alarm settings and don't have one set. I don't have the alarm app either. Any other ideas?

Do you have any reminders set, and was accidentally set?
I don't even know how to set up reminders. Where would I find those
Send from an EvO that's EvOlved!
Typically they can be set through calendars...but I suppose you didn't do that. Downloaded any apps lately, like a task killer, cache cleaner, ect?
did you remove sense if you had a sense rom?
I've always had a sense rom. No new app downloads lately

I am at a lost here on how to fix an issue i am having. About a week or 2 ago i set an alram on my moto 360 telling it to wake me up at 5. But now ever since it goes off at 5 everyday. I have factory reset my moto 360, factory reset my phone, and checked my clock and there is no alarm set for 5! I check the android wear app and it says that the alarm is handled through the clock app so i even erase data on the app. Nothing has worked. Am i missing something here?
I'd like to know the answer too

It's not clear for the steps you've outlined here if you actually unchecked it on your watch. All alarms on the watch are handled via the watch interface.
Either through settings on the watch or by saying "Ok Google, set an alarm" get to the alarm settings.
Scroll to 5AM and uncheck the checkbox next to 5 AM. This will turn off that daily 5AM alarm.
"show alarms" will do a similar job too....showing alarms that are set on the watch

Even better - thanks for sharing.
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.

Yeah, I was quite 'alarmed' cool by that feature, lol. I've made sure it's always turned off.

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.
Anyone else getting high background battery drain by Google app? How to fix it? I cannot uninstall the Google app. I have disabled it but still it's running in the background

I disabled it and its gone.

Ya mine is gone too. I think the days battery usage was not reset when I shared the screen shot. It is gone now
In addition to you can also put lots of app on sleep when they are not in use.

Settings>Device care>Battery> application>put app to sleep
I still have the same problem, even tho i disabled the app, anyone knows how to solve it?
Sure I uninstalled anything Google. I don't use any of the Google apps and removed them all using ADB.
