Just starting noticing that my alarm notification icon randomly appears and dissappear even though I have an active alarm set. Haven't flashed anything lately and previously the icon was always there until the weekend when I don't have it set.
Anyone else happen to notice this?

Yeah it happens to me all the time. I'm running CM11 on my Nexus 5. I've been digging, trying to figure it out, but nothing yet.
I've seen this happen at least since ICS on the Gnex

any of you happen to use the Carbon twitter app? I have a hunch this app is causing the icon disappearing issue.
I've temporarily uninstalled carbon to test my theory.
Carbon recently updated their app and it does some 'hiding' of notification bar icons when it goes full screen. Might be related - or might be nothing at all.
For me, the disappearing alarm icon only started in the past 2 days or so.
No carbon twitter app for me but I did recently install the Timely app, wonder if that has anything to do with this or just a coincidence.
uninstalling carbon wasn't the root-cause; alarm icon disappeared again.
i did install timely within the past week ... i've since un-installed and still get the disappearing alarm icon.
Same here. Timely. I was thinking it might have to do with Timely's syncing, but that's completely untested.

When u uninstall timely do u still have the disappearing alarm icon via the stock clock app? I can't figure this out.

I found a post on reddit that talked about the Timely app ... and that if you uninstall Timely but still had an active alarm, it will cause issues with the alarm icon with the stock app. So I re-installed Timely ... and sure enough, I had an alarm still 'active'. I deleted that alarm and uninstalled Timely - but still have the issues with the stock alarm icon disappearing.
There's a thread going in the google product forums on this same issue: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/nexus/oWxThT1ZPd0/IkdLlmB110IJ
Seems no one can figure out the root cause / fix.
Even I get this issue. In my previous phone too (having JB 4.1), this used to happen with default alarm as well as alarm clock plus.
Now I have cataclysm in my Nexus 5 and using Timely. Same happens here too.
I noticed this when I had Timely installed and even when I turned to alarm in it off it still made it disappear. I would suggest if you have any time or other app as such remove them and see if the issue continues.
I uninstalled Timely and it works as it should now.
Hope it helps.

I had this exact same problem with Timely installed. I uninstalled Timely and my alarm clock notification no longer disappears and reappears.
I hope this works for you.
I have the same problem (stock, un-rooted Nexus 5). What I've seen too is that it only disappears if I'm connected to WiFi. If I'm connected to T-Mobile's network, then the alarm notification displays just fine. But shortly after it connects to a WiFi network, the icon disappears.
In some of the Google support forums, a guy with the issue root-caused it back to the latest version of the Pandora App. Seems that ever since Pandora added alarm clock / wake-up functionality, it conflicts with the stock alarm icon.
I uninstalled Pandora a few days ago ... and my alarm icon is back to behaving normally.
i have the same issue with the icon... i do have timely... but it doesnt conflict with the app actually working... my alarms always go off even tho icon is not visible

i have no timely and no pandora but my alarm icon disappears anyway.. maybe xposed wanam makes some trouble with it cuz I modified all the colors of the statusbar icons? hmm... did somebody get another solution in the meantime?
My alarm icons only appear exactly two hours before the alarm is set to go off.
Hello, i have my nexus 5 for 2 weeks now and I noticed a problem my friend with a N5 doesn't have.(or anyone else) At night, right before I sleep i put my phone on silent so i dont get awakened by calls or anything else . But if i set it on silent the alarm volume gets on silent as well.
Seriously, i didn't have this problem on any other device and everyone sets his phone on silent for obvious reason. I had android 4.2.2 on my older device and even there you could tick "Alarm on silent".
What's causing this bug?
Stock Android 4.4.2
Edit: this is a basic feature every phone has, please dont suggest me getting 3rd party alarms from the google play store, thanks.
Try checking the alarm volume in settings and see if it changes when you put the phone in silent/vibrate.
It shouldn't.
Yes, when i put it on vibrate/silent i cant even scroll the alarm's volume in settings , it goes straight to no volume.
There's a post with users complaining about the exact opposite. They want to know why the phone isn't 100% silent when in silent mode. This would contradict what's happening to you.

Ok, what can i do to repair this bug?
I just tested this on my Nexus 5, and I can confirm that this is NOT happening on mine. Setting the phone to vibrate or even silent has no effect on my alarm setting whatsoever. (See the attached image. Note the vibrate icon in the notification bar.)
Do you possibly have a third-party alarm or other sound-controlling app installed? You say your phone is stock, but do you have anything such as Xposed, that can affect system settings?
I know it's probably the last thing you want to do, but you might try doing a hard-reset, and seeing if the conditions persist BEFORE installing any 3rd party apps. If it's working normally at that point, then keep checking it as you reinstall your apps to see if you can narrow down the culprit. If it DOES persist with a freshly wiped device, then you may want to call Google support, as that would be considered a defect.
Oh! Also, make sure you're on the latest build (KOT49H). If you're on an earlier build for some reason, it could be why your device is acting differently than everyone else's.

Hard restted once with the apps being restored and it was the same, then i hard resetted the last time without signing in my google account and everything works fine now, thanks!
did you ever find out which app caused this? i have the same problem
it might be a late answer, but it may help anyone who happens to find this post with this issue (as i did)...
I was having the exact same problem with my alarm, but I noticed that it happened after installing "Alarmy (Sleep if you can)" app from play store. It somehow overrides system volumes, and locks it after uninstall.
I reinstalled it and set the alarm volume from inside that app, and now it works as expected to do (silient ringer with alarm on).
This might happen with other Alarm apps, remember if you did install any.
Hopefully it helps someone, as this happened even on 4.4.4

I have figured out that problem happened after installing "Xtreme alarm clock."
And I solved this problem with "Alarmy(Sleep If U Can)."
Thanks for your information.
This morning my alarm did not sound. Checked all settings everything was set to on.
Tried to call the phone no sound. Re-booted and everything is now working as it should.
Also 3 times in the last two days the screen has frozen and I have had to reboot the power using the power button.
Has anyone else had these issues?
I am using this as stock with the latest OTA update.
Same issue here.
Everything is working fine, but ~1-2 Times a day the Screen stays black and won't turn on again until a reboot via the power button. But the touch is working, because after the reboot some of the apps on my homescreen are moved (because I moved them while whiping on the black screen). Everything else is fine, CM11S Stock latest, *33R.
Just changed the Gov from "Interactive" to "On Demand", no other Modifications.
Greets, Alex
I'm having problems in this area as well, my notification will not work. I do not get any notification sounds at all even though everything is on. My call ringtone work fine, nut no notifications, not from email, or my third part oultook email app, and neither from my SMS's. It was all finw in the beginning but now it just stopped working. I got the phone with 33r and stock, have not done anything to the phone yet, and don't want to, but i cant figure this issue out.......any help would be greatly appreciated......

I have also same problem... Do you get any solution for this ?
Just realize with your post that I have not posted an update......I like a certified dildo, had my phone in 'night' mode from the advanced power menu.... Put back to normal.....issue resolved......I would prefer more notification choices out the box, but that's easily fixed.....

Interesting. I've been having the same problem, and this prompted me to take a look at my Quiet Hours setting. On the Quick Settings panel I noticed that the Quiet Hours icon was lit. That was odd, because I was well outside of the quiet hours I had set. When I tapped the icon, it would not change. I had to long press, toggle a setting, and exit back out before the icon started working normally again. Now everything seems to be fine. Hope this helps someone; the problem was driving me nuts!
I too have had this issue! No lights, sound and action
But I solved my problem :=) on my own because I'm Mister Wonderful :>
I reinstalled the quiet hours tile.
Then I went into quiet hours setting and changed hours from 00:00 & 00:00 to 01:00 & 07:00. The latter being outside the current time of day I was working in.
Then I went back to the quiet hours tile and turned it off. Holy Smokes this time it actually worked.
Because the power charger was connected the notification lamp began to burn green again. SMS notification sounds were heard. Even "You got mail" wasn't afairid to stand up to be heard.
Another wonderul day in paradise!
I set up a bunch of alarms (5) in the Clock app. But there are times when it is completely blank when I try to go in there to edit something. The preset alarm still goes off but this is very random and a very annoying bug. Anyone ran into this?
I have the TMobile version.

my alarms worked this morning and I just checked and they're still there. Maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling the clock app. Or just downloading a diff one from the play store just in case. You can also try clearing the data and cache of the clock app to see if that helps. Last resort would be to do a factory reset which should fix it for sure

Thanks for your input. It doesn't happen often, but it happen in 2 of the 5 days I have owned it. I am unsure on how to uninstall the native clock app.
I received OTA yesterday and so far found one bug. There is a black screen comes up randomly. Top and bottom bars are visible but I can't do anything to get out of it. The only thing that works is restart. I can't pinpoint the app that might be causing it. It happened while updating apps or using Firefox. Anybody else having this issue?

Did you wipe your cash after updating? I had experienced several bags after the OTA update too, but i cleaned cash from the recovery mode and now everything works just fine.
Did wiped cache from recovery mode yesterday and it was OK. Today the black screen issue is back. It's quite annoying having to restart.

Hi there, I am currently having the same bug on my Nexus 4 device.
It appears the same way, with the Softbuttons visibile and the top bar still able to be pulled down. Plus that there is no option if I restart to get my SIM card recognized. Pretty annoying when you have an encrypted nexus device and have to wait 2 minutes to restart with a 40% chance of NOT getting the black screen again.
My assumption is that it has something to do with the kernel. Any suggestions/confirmations?
Best regards

Same problem here... black screen with only softbuttons visible and notification bar working.
I think the problem occurs when an application is in full screen mode (no softbuttons visible) and you do a little swipe to make the softbuttons appear... It must be something with the way the softbuttons overlap the screen, I think.
Any help?
I am also seeing this problem on my Nexus 5 which I flashed the factory image with full wipe. I have had it when exiting apps and also when an app is open it can just happen. If i swipe up from the bottom sometime I get a flash of the screen during the animation so it is as if a layer is over the screen. I hope this is fixed as it is random, this morning it happened and after a reboot i logged in and it happened before I opened an app, reboot, then happened again a few mins later, but after a 3rd reboot has been ok???
For everyone that is experiencing this problem... do you have Tasker installed?
I disabled tasker and since then I don't have this problem... so far.
Still happening once in awhile and I do have Tasker.

It happens to me. My current theory is that, in my case, it may have to do with a profile manager I use which turns the lock screen pattern lock on and off depending on where I am.

I also have tasker, don't want to disable it as I find it too useful, can you keep us all informed if it cures the issue.

I also find tasker very useful.. but I think it was causing the problem. No more black screens since then.
To try to narrow it down even further... do you have a profile to enable/disable the lockscreen in certain situations?

I do use tasker to disable the lock screen, I wish that the smart lock would completley disable the lock screen, and not just the secure section. I will take all the lock screen options out of my tasks and reboot, will test for a few days.
I tested over the weekend and had no black screens with all tasker/secure settings lock screen disables turned off, I left all other actions on , so I think you are correct. actualy got on OK using the smart unlock, although when in my house sometimes GPS is lost so it will relock, but not a real issue. Thanks for the heads up
