Alarm sometimes not going off - LG G7 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Anyone else have this problem with their G7 ThinQ? Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I checked the alarm before going to sleep and it even said the alarm would go off in 8 hours and 7 minutes, but then it doesn't go off. The alarm worked perfectly for over a year and only recently stopped working intermittently. I've double checked the days, the time, AM/PM, that the alarm is enabled, DND, etc. Everything is set correctly.
Is there a way to fix this?

Try bforce stoping and erasing the data and cache of the app .
If you're using the google clock app try updating it

Unreliable alarm clock

I'm using the stock alarm program and 3/5 times I've set an alarm nothing has happened when the alarm is supposed to go off. It always works when I set it to go off the next minute as a test case, but it's very unreliable for overnight use.
Any similar experiences or thoughts on why this happens?
Mines never not worked used it every day since I had the phone - I assume you are leaving the phone switched on right?
Did you kill the alarm&clock app (with Taskiller for example) ? This app needs to be active if you want it to work.
Mine works. Screen goes to sleep, alarm wakes it and me up no sweat.
Sorry, I actually figured it out right after posting, but yes the app is probably being closed sometime during the night. I put it on my ignore lists, it's too bad the alarm isn't some sort of a system service.

Try using alarm clock plus from market. It's a much improved alarm.

Alarm issues - not sounding?

This all started yesterday morning. I had my alarm set, woke up later than I needed to with a notification on the phone that said Alarm Turned Off After 10 Minutes, telling me the alarm had gone off for 10 minutes and was automatically turned off.
I thought it was weird so I did some digging and it turned out that NONE of my sounds were working. The volume was up, silent mode was off, but I was getting nothing whatsoever from the phone speaker. Even speaker phone wasn't working. Headphones worked fine. It seemed my speaker had blown.
Well, later in the day (as I was preparing to take it back to Verizon) it just randomly starts working again. All sounds now seem fine.
So I set my alarm this morning. And this time, it didn't even go off, at all! I woke up 5 minutes after it was supposed to go off, and when I unlocked my phone, THEN the alarm started going off. It's almost like it isn't coming our of deep sleep to sound the alarm.
Are these two issues related; the sound issue yesterday and the alarm issues both days? Has anyone else experienced this? It seems to be random...sometimes I can replicate it, other times I cannot.
There's another thread about this somewhere...try a search for "alarm". It's happened to me often enough that I can't rely on my Gnex as an alarm clock...I have to use my old SGS instead. I've also had loss of sound occasionally, but a reboot always fixes it.
Wish someone would figure out a solution, it's pretty annoying to have a bug like this in the alarm. Even the cheapest, crappiest dumbphone you can buy comes with a reliable alarm app, but my expensive smartphone does not? (and yes, I've tried other alarm apps besides the stock one...they all fail to go off intermittently.)

Thanks for the input. I use my alarm daily and this is the first time I've had this issue.
As an aside (but perhaps related issue?), my gmail app has uninstalled itself and I can't get it reinstalled. Looks like it's time for a reflash.

Yes I would reflash before you miss a flight or the interview to your dream job!
One thing I miss about my old blackberry is the alarm. Put it in the cradle and the time would dim, all notifications would turn off and the alarm would fire every time, every when the battery had been drained and switched off. Pity everything else sucked...
I've yet to have a problem.
Maybe you're getting SOD's (or close-to) in the middle of the night and the phone is having trouble waking itself up?
Try adjusting your governor and turn your undervolts up if they're enabled.
I am, however, fairly OCD about my alarms...
I reboot my phone before opening the alarm app and ONLY the alarm app...
Make sure the alarm is enabled...
And turn the screen off.
I've done this since my OGDroid days.
I also have the trusty DX as a backup...set 10 minutes later; just in case.

[Q] Random Alarm Even When NOT Set

Anyone experience this issue? It seems to be random. The only way I'm getting around this is to use a silent alarm ring tone. It seems to have occurred after I used the Alarm once. Since then the Alarm goes off even though the old one has long been deleted. I've tried deleting ALL alarms and clearing the cache to no avail.
stock or custom?whichever it is try this
cleared data??disable and re-enabled yet??try it or set 4 alarms at once with intervel of 1 sec after all has alarmed delete em all clear cach disable re-enable ....
EDIT:if you have root or custom rom kill the app and get a new one from play store

Alarm App Problem

Since the upgrade to Android 6.0.1 my alarm clock(Alarm Clock Plus) does not go off when it is supposed to. It worked fine until the update. I don't know if Doze is causing this or if it's the new Samsung app power saving setup? I have the alarm clock app excluded from ever saving power but it still doesn't go off. It seems like the hours that I'm sleep puts the app in deep sleep because when I pick the phone up and cut on the screen it went off which was about 11 minutes after it was scheduled one day and 8 the next. Also if I set an alarm, say 5 minutes from now as an example, it will go off though.
The stock alarm is working for me. .. It could be just a problem with alarm clock plus. .

alarms not working

Been using the phone for about 20 days now, I noticed that the alarm app is very inconsistent, that it doesn't always work. I've woken up to missed alarms 3/4 of the time and it's getting pretty frustrating. I've already turned of auto optimization in device care, optimization isn't application for the stock clock app so it should not affect it. Any idea if there's a fix for it?? I've tried clearing data but still no avail
