Alarm not going off - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL
Anyone having issues with recurring alarms not always going off? I have used my cell phone as my recurring weekday work alarm for years, and so far the One-X has failed to go off about 10 times in the month since i got it.
I wonder if this has something to do with the phone going into "deep sleep" mode at night. It certainly is good about not using a bunch of standby battery overnight, but i'd take a little drain to ensure that i'm not late for work.
I think i'm going to try keeping it plugged in all night to see if that fixes the problem, because if i remember right it has been the nights that i leave it sitting unplugged when it doesn't go off.
Thanks!
I've always used alarming app as my alarm and it has had no issues.

I've had that issue. Also the timer app consistently doesn't go off. I blame the multi tasking issue.
It's quite the annoyance, and it wasn't fixed by the official OTA 1.85 update. I'm curious to hear from folk running custom ROMs. That might indicate whether it's a multitasking issue or a "deep sleep" issue.
No problems here, I use 3 different alarms and all work flawlessly. Try deleting and re-creating.
I haven't had any issues, I have my alarm set for every day of the week and it hasn't failed me yet! Double check all your settings/etc. Make sure you didn't make a mistake!

Its not a settings issue. Sometimes they work, sometimes they dont. I have it set to wake me up for work at 5:20 and it failed to go off a couple times so now i have another actual alarm clock to wake me up at 5:19. Ive woken up a couple times to it not going off. It doesn't do it that often, maybe 1 time every two weeks. The timer is what bothers me. It consistently doesn't go off. As soon as I unlock the phone, then the timer goes off, but if it is locked, the timer wont go off.

Yeah, i'm sure the two issues are related (timer and alarm). Are you stock or running a custom ROM? Like to know if the multitasking "fixes" in some of these roms remedies the issue.
I had a similar problem that turned out to be a clock issue. The clock would fall behind when I was on wifi and it went into deep sleep, and when it woke up...it would stay behind...even if I have network settings checked, or unchecked...all the usual stuff was troubleshooted. When the clock catches up to the real time...it skipped the alarm because it jumped ahead 20 minutes or whatever the time that it was behind. I called at&t, and their best advice was restore to factory. My phone hasn't done it since I restored and alarms are now flawless.
Good luck

Yes. I've had this very same issue. Started using Alarm Clock Extreme Free. Works great & u can set it up so you have to solve a math problem to shut it off.

I'm running CleanRom 3.1 SE and this has been happening to me. Last two days in a row I've been late to work, I just flashed CleanRom 3.1 SE over the previous version three days ago.
I am going to upgrade to 3.1.1 tonight with multitask mod v.2 and see if it helps.
Side note: I tried setting the alarm on my g2x instead last night. That horrible phone drained to zero battery from a full charge doing nothing xD. I need to stop using phones as alarm clocks..

Since I posted this I have switched to Cleanrom 3.1.1 as well. I haven't had the issue again, but I think what has solved it is keeping it plugged in overnight. Can't say for sure if the rom changed the behavior at all. Plugging it in was making it work consistently when it was stock too.
My phone is always plugged in at night. This issue still occurred.

Try deleting the alarm and making a new one. I did that as well.
Updated to 3.1.1 SE via the patch and my alarm went off this morning. I'm claiming it's an issue with the memory mod v1

This is a very scary issue because like most people my alarm is my phone. Have you guys pin pointed a problem yet. Is everyone affected on a cleanrom?

Phone freezes during night.
Anyone with any helpful advices? Three nights the last two weeks my phone has frozen. I use the phone for the alarm over night and almost got late for work at these three times now. Im charging it in the night. And when I wake up it is fully charged, the green light is on. The screen is off and non responsive. None of the buttons respond either. The wierd thing is also that the bottom touch icons, home, menu, back and search are lit up in its white color. Other that that the phone is dead and needs a restart by pulling the battery to work again. When restarting the alarms is still set and active. I also got a constant titanium backup sheduled every night at 01.00. It is set to backup apps that changed during the day. Like ingame saves and such. I am running the latest coredroid rom and cwm 5.0.2.0 if that is of any help. Anyone experienced the same issue? Thanks for any help! Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Seems like a kernel issue. Update your kernel to the kernel dev's latest version. Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
3rd party alarms don't work?
So I just noticed a troubling side effect of our device's aggressive memory management: 3rd party alarm apps don't work! I use myClock, and have been using it on 3 different android devices without issue. Yesterday I was almost late for work because when using myClock for an alarm, it didn't go off until the phone was "awake!" This morning I tested it by setting an alarm on my wife's phone and my phone for the same time. Her alarm went off, and my phone didn't do jack until I pressed the power button to turn on the screen. Then my alarm went off immediately. It acts the same for snooze: won't activate until I turn on the acreen. I haven't tested the stock clock app yet, but I assume it will work fine. Guess I'm stuck with it for now. Anyone else have this issue?
I haven't had that issue. I used alarm clock xtreme all week without an issue. Snooze and everything works. Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Fyi, myclock has been working fine for me. Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Alarm Klock works great for me! Billy
Hmmm... Are your phones plugged in or on battery? I've had mine unplugged from the wall. Tonight I'll try to leave it charging...
Mine has worked on and off the charger. Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Ive been using AlarmDroid since I got the phone on the 4th... been working great the whole time.
Turned on randomly?
Ok so I turned my HOX att off last night. When I was waking up this morning it turned on as I was getting out of bed. I was kind of confused. It may be something simple im not thinking of but has anyone heard of it randomly turning on?
Almost 200 views? No one has ever had a hint of this problem?
Well the other day I was awoken by my phone restarting itself. Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Ok. This may have been what happened to me but I was pretty sure I had turned it all the way off. hmmmm anyone else like to join in?
These phone have fastboot, so it essential is in a sleep/hibernation mode. I have seen my smokescreen flash on right before it boots, maybe something to do with that. Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Do you have an alarm set? My Nexus One would turn itself on to ring the alarm even after I shut it off (scared the piss out of me the first time it did it!). I'm not sure about the HOX as I've not turned it off for any length of time. Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Random Intense Vibration?
I've looked around here and haven't seen an issue similar to what's going on with mine. It's happened a few times now, where the phone just randomly starts to vibrate, for ~5 seconds. No notifications, not even touching the phone. It just randomly vibrates. My last One X I swapped out on Friday due to some sound issues, that one never did this strange vibrate. I think this is the 3rd or 4th time it's done this in just as many days. Has anyone had a similar issue? Thanks.

It's a bug in android 4.04.

It happens so randomly and rarely that you probably got lucky.

Mine has done it twice now as well. Recently upgraded to 2.20, so Im gonna go with gunny on this one.:thumbup: Edit LMAO!! No joke as a matter of fact, mine did it again as soon as I hit submit on this post. Scared the crap out of me. Almost dropped the durn phone Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Yeah mine has done it several times too haha, usually when I press the back button. I thought it could be an issue with my phone because it has a really weak vibrate when I press the buttons, but since I didn't notice it on 4.0.3 I'll go with 4.0.4 glitch.. Sent from my HTC One X
If your under 30 days, on 2.20 locked i would make them exchange for older firmware device or your going to return it and go elsewhere to get one with the less buggy 1.85 firmware. If u want to unlock, why wouldnt you.

[Q]Touch screen doesnt respond 10% of time
HTC ONE XL Hi Guys, Have been following XDA for years since been with android and have been flashing my phones and others since. This problem i have not occured before and have only been experiencing since my last 2 flashes. My day to day usage; Listen to music 10 hours everyday, maybe more with headphones even while working. Battery will last a good 20+hours maybe more Play games and such and maybe make a few calls or sms thru out day. every now and then when i unlock to maybe change song both touch screen and touch buttons will not repsond. I turned off and on swipe to unlock and still receive this bug every now and then. Not often but its a pain because it requires a hard reset. Currently using Jelly bam with rohan kernal v6. I moved from m1KingKang. Both flashes have been fresh. including system wipe. these 2 are the only roms ive had this happen. i have looked at other threads for other phones and they all say there is a problem, somthing wrong with the phone. I have had other roms where this does not happen. My clock speed is set as min 500mhz and max 1700mhz
