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.

Updated to 8.1, having issues

I just got the 8.1 Oreo update for my LG Q6 (LG-M700 model) and I am having so troubling issues. My biggest problem is battery usage. Google Play Services is by far highest battery user and I have noticed that when I restart the phone, the app is not excluded from the Power Saving Exclusions list, but after a short while, it switches to "Excluded" on its own and starts eating up the battery like crazy and it does not even show up in the list so I can turn the exclusion off. With Nougat I did not have these problems and battery life was ok.
Another issue is that the status bar icons and home buttons are very faded out, same with the on screen keyboard. I don't know if it's just a new look for Android or some hidden setting messing up.

Revert back to 7.1. I'm having issues with the update even if I factory reset to 8.1 still issues.

I've installed the latest beta Google Play Services, and battery drain has improved somewhat, still testing though.

the status bar and nav bar icons fading out is a new thing in 8.1 personally i like it but that's my opinion and battery life for me has been the same as nougat

After some more testing, I found that with the new Google Play Services, battery drain in standby is great, superb even, but under actual use is still terrible (every time I glance at the battery, it just dropped another percent, and that's just by browsing with Chrome). Does anyone know the proper settings for Google Play Services regrading permissions and such? What can I turn off? What has to remain on? That kind of stuff.

As far as I know the only permissions that don't have to be on are maybe camera or calendar

Well, in my case I have Calendar, Contacts, Phone, SMS and Storage permissions on, "Draw over other apps" is Yes, "Modify system settings" and "Pictrue-in-picture" is No.

Draw over other apps stays on so does modify system settings

Alarm

Hey there,
I got my mi mix 3 since Monday. Great phone, only have one issue where my 3th party alarm doesn't seem to wake me in the morning. The phone looks like it's so deep into deep sleep that he doesn't wake up Hen the alarm is supposed to run off. Anyone has an idea how I can fix this? First day I got it the alarm worked btw, but after that it doesn't seem to run off or run off when I unlock the phone.

Have you tried to lock this app in memory and/or turning off battery saver for this app?

How do I lock it in memory? I disabled the battery saving option

Not getting any notification until I open the app

Since today I'm on Open Beta 5, and I have the isse that apps like Snapchat/Instagram and Gmail aren't sending any notifications until I open the app and manually refresh them.
WhatsApp is working as it should.
I already checked the notification settings in these apps, but everything is set up as it should. I also tried "not optimizing" the apps in the battery settings, no help.
Any other idea?

Pin them in recents and it may help. Also make sure you have turned off sleep stanby optimisation under battery optimisation

I tried your advice but it didn't help as well. Sleep standby optimisation is turned off too...

I hate to say.. but factory reset is your best option .. this happens sometimes on OnePlus phones

Crazy battery consumption by always on display even when off

I have noticed that always on display started to eat thru my battery when the phone is idle more than the usual I turned it off and it seems like it is still affecting me even when completely off. I have noticed that this might have happened after installing the mars suoer wallpaper but I couldn't figure how to uninstall it or get rid of it.

I was excited as there was an update today on my Poco F2 Pro (via System Apps Updater that auto-installed for 'Always on Mode'. It's now RELEASE-2.4.541-08261215 and that What's new: fix problems)
It hasn't fixed anything, whenever I use AOD my battery life halves (it always drops 5%+ in the first hour with no use - without AOD and it drops 1-2%)
It astonishes me that whoever wrote this doesn't take basic common sense into account, ie "don't check any sensors to turn the AOD on and off" - that polling prevents the device from dozing, killing battery life. Just leave the screen on as it uses a tiny amount of battery.
Give us options to turn off AOD until a notification is received, then turn it on and leave it on forever until notification is dismissed. That's what I need it for. I need to know when I have received a notification!

They might have fixed this issue, as another update was pushed out the other day (RELEASE-2.4.543-09152018)
It seems like the drain when AOD is on is much reduced compared to the previous versions.
I'll know fully after a charge/discharge cycle but it's looking promising.

Hey guys, here are some advices to you to have better battery. I have 10h sot or 1,5 day with gaming.
First, DONT use super or live wallpapers.
Second, go to settings, security, fingerprint, and turn off the last option (i use my phone in portuguese, but it should be something like "show fingerprint icon when you touch or rise screen").
Third, go to settings, lockscreen, and turn off "rise screen to wake" and "double tap to wake"
Fourth, dont use automated cache clear and dont clear your cache everyday. Just do it once a month because android will use battery to rebuild cache
