If I set an alarm for two hours from now, it will go off. I’ve tested this a few times.
But my morning alarms, at 6:07 and 6:13 am, just don’t go off. I’ve been testing this for like a week now and I cant figure it out. Later in the day, maybe 3 or 4 hours later, the phone will alert me that I missed the alarm, even when my body clock wakes me up before the alarm and I lay awake watching my phone tick past the alarm time without it ever twitching or doing anything.
So far, I’ve tried:
- Deleting all alarms and recreating them
- Clearing the app cache and data, then rebooting
- Removing Duraspeed system app which I suspected of causing problems
- Toggling every setting and widget related to alarms and DND I can find
Here’s my alarm setup:
Clock app settings:
Android sound settings:
Now, I suspected it was some battery thing killing the app, or DND preventing it from going off, but these settings all look correct to me:
And just now, its warned me about the missed alarm that I laid awake watching not go off:
Any ideas about what else to investigate, or what else to do? Should I just download and rely on a different alarm app or something?
Did this ever work? Have you tried factory resetting the phone and setting an alarm first thing? Maybe there’s some setting you managed to change and can’t find again. I know Android settings menus are a maze.
It’s a new phone I’ve had for a few weeks. I cloned my old phone to it. Never had this problem on my old phone, but it has never worked correctly on the new phone.
I’m reticent to factory reset it, that’s a drastic step to take just to fix the alarm.
I have other issues, like I’m not always getting all my SMS messages. But I’m pretty sure that’s unrelated.
