Android Alarm Problem

I can't seem to get the alarm to work right on my phones. I had the mytouch 3g and now i have the nexus one. They never consistently work. I've tried searching but all the solutions i seem to find are to either download a different alarm and exclude it from whatever task killer app you have.
Is the alarm a different process than the clock app? because for the last 3 nights i have gone to bed with the phone plugged in and the clock app running and the alarm has only worked once. The clock app displays the next scheduled alarm, but this morning my alarm was supposed to go off at 7:50am but never did. I woke up at 8:30 and the clock app still said that an alarm was scheduled for wednesday(today) at 7:50am.
Any suggestions?

Hourly alarm

Is there any application that will trigger alarm on hourly basis?
I have found some application that will trigger sound every hour, but often i don't notice that sound, so i want actual alarm or something similar.

Try "Bellman" on the market. Can chime hourly, every half hour, or every 15 minutes.
Also, try "HourlyChime."

I don't want chime. I want alarm that will ring for some time.

I know that Alarm Clock Plus offers an hourly alarm but I have not tested it.

I'd like to know why my Nexus One when it crashes it always starts on Jan 1st 1980...

Tested Alarm Clock Plus, but only thing i was able to found was nap feature, which will trigger alarm after X minutes. But that means that i will have to set it manually each hour.

In Alarm Clock Plus try Menu, Settings, Hourly Chime Settings.
Hope that helps!

Alarm App?

Coming from a Nexus One with CM7 (*drools*) he had added in lots of additional options in the, I guess, stock alarm settings.
One being how long the phone would ring if you didn't get to it. I had it set to unlimited, which meant it would just ring and ring and ring and ring and ring until I woke up.
With the unmodified alarm, I'm finding that I'm waking up late, and the phone saying missed alarm. What good is an alarm you can miss?
Is there an alarm app we can replace our with from CM7 or something that has those options? I can't see it requiring any special kernel or hardware.

My alarm seems to go on forever unless I hit Snooze or Cancel.

^ same here. I had an alarm set for 5pm and was away from my phone. When I came back to it around 5:40 or so it was still going off. stock alarm

I use Alarm Clock Xtreme Free. Really good alarm app. I love it.

The options are sick.

Alarm Clock Xtreme - stupid name, excellent app. There are a ton of options, maybe bordering on too many (and I'm a "more options, please" kind of person). But it is the only alarm that has consistently been able to get my ass out of bed (and I've tried many). What works for me is setting it to require that I solve a series of math problems before I can dismiss the alarm, and setting a low max number of snoozes. If you're getting up to run first thing, you can set it to not dismiss until you reach a certain speed.
Looking back at what I've written, it seems ACX is the app to use if you hate your morning self and want to use cruelty to bend him to your will.

I use kaloer clock. Its free and very customizable. Also serves as a nice bedside dock clock with live weather animations. Give it a shot. You can set it to stay on for 999 minutes if you think that would help you.

Gentle Alarm if you're willing to pay.

I've been using Klaxon since the G1 and never had a problem, although some reviews in the market claim to have some issues. I think it is mainly because it doesn't get updated too much anymore, as it is written my the developer of ClockworkMod and RomManager seems to be much more lucrative.

Stock Alam Help?

I keep trying to set the alarm And I do to a point but, it ring then turns off after a bit is there a way to set it up too keep playing till I manually turn it off ? Or just keeps repeating

It actually turns off after a minute which is unfortunate. I haven't used my phone as an alarm clock cuz I have alternative devices for that function. I suggest using "Alarm Clock Plus" as its full featured although it doesn't look as nice.

I've been using alarm clock extreme for a long time now. Tons of features, easy to use and it turns 85% of the screen into a big "snooze" button when it's going off

Galaxy S7 Alarms not working in DeepSleep

Hey guys,
Not sure if this is common but my alarm app (Alarm Extreme but tried other also) doesn't go off until I wake the phone lol.
This is probs due to DeepSleep. I've once seen a popup for auto hibernation, and I deselected the alarm app.
But I can't find that menu anywhere and its getting annoying as I rely on my alarm to wake me for work.
Any help is appreciated.

I'm having the same issue with Alarm Clock Xtreme as well. It works fine on my S6. But like you, I have to wake the phone up in order for it to work. Ugh!
So, I need help too. LOL.

Did you remember to turn off app optimization for the app under battery more optimize battery use all app

I have a pretty much stock S7, and my alarm didn't go off this morning. This was configured using samsung's own preloaded version of the 'clock' app, and the phone was on a charger (which should prevent doze.)
Thankfully, I have kids. They are noisier than any smartphone alarm clock could ever be.

With me it's always the same type of question....did you try the built in clock app?

Was the phone lying on it's face if so try with it on its back if it works turn off easy mute

My Galaxy S7 has the same problem, using Alarm clock Xtreme.
The battery optimization is set as inactive for the app and it still doesn't go off.
And yes, had it laying on it's back. No cover.

I'm also using Alarm Clock Xtreme. Have been using it for years and never had a problem.
I had Light Manager and AcDisplay running when I ran into the problem. Any of you using those apps?

Seems that everyone with problem uses Alarm Clock Xtreme?

I also had the same problem on S6 with Alarm Clock Xtreme. I think they don't use the "doze-safe" alarm methods, and the app was updated in April 2015...

I haven't experienced this yet with my S7 as I just got it 2 days ago, but when my LG G4 upgraded Marshmallow my alarm apps started to get a bit wonky. Same thing as described above where alarm won't go off in deep sleep. I was using Gentle Alarm at the time and even tried turning off the optimization on the alarm which did not help. I've read a few other Marshmallow devices has the same issue, but it seems if they use the stock clock app everything works. I'm not a huge fan of the stock one though. Hopefully they fix this with an update.

Same thing here with alarm clock extreme.

Alarm not going off
Using alarm extreme. Can set alarm for all different times during day and it works fine but DOES NOT WAKE ME IN MORNINGS.
Is there a setting missing somewhere? Have the galaxy s7. Worked fine on the s5.

Same here (Alarm xtreme)
First day of usage in the morning, did not go off.
I tested it yesterday evening, worked okay.
Today morning did not wake me again, until a pressed the button on it's side.
Any solution to this?

Same here - Alarm clock xtreme with Galaxy s7 edge. Set it to wake me after 1:30 hours - it starts after 1:55 hours.

Alright... I think I may have solved the issue. I went into the "Optimize Battery Usage" menu in the battery settings. I turned off the Optimize Battery Usage option for Alarm Clock Xtreme. I've been testing this for the last several days and it's been working fine.
Anyone else care to try this to confirm that it's fixed?

I tried that a few days ago, it woke me up one morning, but the next day it didn't work until I "wake up" the phone. I do have my phone on "power saving mode" because I listen to music
for over an hour to help me sleep and I don't want my battery to drain too much when I wake up. I don't know if the power saving mode is affecting this as well.
Have you tried it with power saving mode off?

This "doze" feature is starting to annoy me. Alarm clock xtreme works perfectly fine on my S6 with power saving mode on. But it's still
running on Lollipop. I know it's a Marshmallow thing. Google should give us an option to doze or not to doze. LOL

If your phone is on a charger, it won't go into doze. I thought I read somewhere in this thread that the problem was being experienced even when the phone was left plugged in.
