This notification is absolutely ridiculous.....not necessarily because it exists. It's ridiculous because it can't be turned off. What kind of moron engineer comes up with this and, beyond that, what kind of person in power approves it? Samsung wants to sell a dock.....this doc is used by many people at the bedside so they can use their phone as an alarm clock. Along comes this notification in the middle of the night that just sits there until acknowledged. This poses two problems. 1. It lights up and stays lit up. 2. It creates a possible screen burn in situation. I understand that the phone can be configured to still go into sleep mode when the notification arrives. But, that defeats the purpose of using the phone as an alarm clock in the dock. I would like to be able to turn this off without necessarily having to move away from my stock rom or move to clockworkmod. Also, I read on a post from October that the current version moves the notification to the notification bar at the top of the device. However, I just bought my Epic last week and my phone says it is up to date. Yet, the charged battery notification is still the disruptive box in the middle of the screen. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks Much.....
Charged notification PROBLEM SOLVED !
PROBLEM SOLVED !
I saw this suggestion in another forum and it WORKS, so I'm passing it on !
Set the global notifications to SILENT.
Set the notification on Gmail to any ringtone, NOT DEFAULT.
Set the notification on messaging to any ringtone, NOT DEFAULT.
You'll still have a tone when you 1st plug the phone in to the charger, but NO tone when it's fully charged.
Hello XDA,
I've recently purchased a samsung infuse and there were a few things standing out that i was wondering about. When i bought the phone, it had already been unlocked + rooted + flashed with S7, it should be running on the default kernal that came with S7. Afterwards, i installed dynamicRAM's tweaks in the development section.
1) Lock screen lag.
Wondering if anybody else is having this problem. When i hit the unlock button, theres a small lag time present before the screen activates, subsequently, when swiping my finger across to unlock the screen, theres a lag time before the imagine/slider/what have you responds. At first, i thought this had no functional problem and that it was just a little ugly. Until i received a phone call and in my attempt to answer it, the slider didn't respond. I wonder if this is perhaps a kernal problem?
2) If it is a kernal problem, is it compatible to try flashing the infusion 1.1 kernal overtop the default S7 kernal (Granted that the phone itself is first backed up with tibu and a NANDroid backup performed). Would this help the above problem?
3) The seller had the phone overclocked to 1.6 ghz with setCPU which isn't a large problem as its an ondemand clocking. however, the battery usage seems to be lower than expected? Note that i do not use data plan so thats turned off, wifi is turned off, but i like having the brightness as full (i acknowledge this eats up a lot of the battery).
Leaving the phone on my bedside table for sleep, it depletes 6% over the course of my 6 hour sleep. 1% an hour seems pretty fair. However yesterday, i unplugged from 100% at 2pm and used it till the following day 10 am. During this period, it depleted to 49%. I used aldiko for my book for an hour before bed. Sent a total of 14 texts, received 18. No music player was used, rest of the time the phone was essentially idle. I'm a little surprised at this.
I have yet to calibrate the phone but it is only a month old, granted it was calibrated after flashing S7, could this be the problem? I don't think the phone is undervolted yet, would voltage control from the market help this by lowering it a bit?
4) sometimes my volume slider just dissapears, i don't know why. Using the volume rocker on the homescreen usually has the ringer volume pop up. But once in a while, it stops showing up, the settings still work, but the slider is invisible. It is not restored upon reboot, and it eventually comes back and dissapears again.
5) First phone call has no audio. I believe this is a documented problem with S7, just asking to confirm this.
6) A couple of albums in my music library aren't tagged properly in the player despite being correctly tagged with MP3TAG on my computer. After some research, i think i found this is a GB media scanner problem. Is there a way to correct this? Perhaps take an apk from another ROM and replace it?
Many thanks to anybody who takes the time to read this thread
Using the Alarm Clock Plus app, since I got the Marshmallow update, alarms in the morning have been hit or miss. Seems like it used to go off within a minute (which is also not really very accurate). This morning it was 4 minutes late. Yesterday, the alarm didn't go off at all. Has Marshmallow gone too far with power savings or something? Anyone else having alarm problems?
Using stock alarm app, works fine herw

I've been using Timely for its "early rise" function which kicks in 30 minutes before the alarm time with a very quiet tone rising over the course of the 30 minutes. I'm a light sleeper, so I've been setting the alarm time for 30 minutes later so that it goes off very quietly; if "early rise" is off it starts at full volume, which I don't like.
But since I upgraded to Marshmallow the function doesn't work - regardless of whether "early rise" is ticked or not it goes off at the alarm set time.
Coincidence...?
There's obviously something going on with time settings in Marshmallow, since Clocksync doesn't work properly either - a fact recogised by the developer, who has posted a note on his Google Play entry asking for help or advice:
"WARNING: Android 6.0 devices may not work correctly at the moment, even with custom permissive kernel and SuperSU installed. I'm looking for the solution at the moment. Please contact me if you know how to fix it."
Doze will be cutting it's sync times down. Just use stock alarm clock

Stock ^^ ☝?
This morning, it didn't go off at all again. Only when I waked up on my own 20 minutes late, wondered what time it was, and turned on the phone did the alarm go off. The Med Helper app reminder also didn't go off till I turned it on, so now two different apps with alarms have failed to work. I think I need to read up on how to re-install Lollipop .
Have you tried turning doze off for your alarm based apps?
What they said ^^^^ tap the 3 dots in battery setting and pick optimizations the select all apps and un-optimize your alarm app.

OK, I'm trying with battery optimization turned off for the two apps I had a problem with, but I see battery optimization is turned on for the stock "Clock" app, and an alarm I set with it went off on time, so there must be some magic apps can do to make timers work on Marshmallow even if they are battery optimized. If I knew what it was I could write the developers and ask them to include it .

I use timely and haven't had or noticed any issues. Just this morning I used Smart Rise with alarm set for 11:45am, and on time the music started very quietly at 11:15 am. I love the smart rise feature, however it is terrible if you are already kinda awake, because it's so soothing it will put you to sleep! However to be woken up by it after it had been slowly increasing in volume is a good way to wake up.

The Alarm Clock Plus alarm I set after disabling battery optimization for that app just went off on time, so perhaps that is a work around for now, but I'd still love to know how the stock Clock app manages to work even though it has battery optimization enabled.
Nope, it was a false alarm. This morning Alarm Clock Plus did not go off at all, even with the battery optimization turned off for it. However, the Med Helper notification did go off, so the battery optimization change seemed to work for it. Perhaps it has something to do with Med Help using notifications, and Alarm Clock Plus trying to completely wake the phone and display on the full screen?
Alarm Issues
I've experienced the same issues with Alarm Clock Plus. I don't have any battery optimization turned on. It seems to be tied to silent mode and not being able to be silent without do not disturb turned on for me.
For the second time since I've installed marshmallow, my alarm didn't go off. I'm a very light sleeper and today, as with most days, I woke up before my alarm. So I checked my alarm and it was set for just about an hour from then. I drifted back off and woke a half hour after my alarm was set to go off. Everything was set right and I took a couple minutes to reset my alarm two minutes after the current time. It went off. I did the same thing the first time my alarm didn't go off, same results. I've actually tested it several times and it always went off, maybe from not being asleep for that long. I've also been waiting for text replies a few times before and not hear anything, then I check and see I have two or three. Volumes checked, everything's right. Either I'm going crazy or something is wrong with the new update. Just thought I'd add my two cents.

I should have read the dates but Google brought this up first. So if anyone happens upon this thread, the above link explains it. The fix is 6.0.1 and is being worked on and even released for some phones already. :good:
Ok can't post links yet but that website has answers
Having the same issue with S7 edge on 6.0.1 using Alarm Clock Xtreme. Won't wake the phone even tho power save is off and auto power save for the at app is off as well. Works if I set it for only a few min from now, doesn't work after the screen being off all night.
I have the exact same problem. It's been three times now that I've been late to class because the alarm didn't go off. Last time Itried setting two alarms five minutes from each other and the iPad alarm. iPad worked, phone didn't. It seems to happen especially often of I place the alarms earlier than usual for some reason, and I only do that when I have an exam to study for, so It's been a fun couple of days.
At first I shrugged it off convincing myself that I had rose in the middle of the night somehow, turned it off and continued on sleeping, without remembering anything in the morning, but after using the iPad to check on the third time I'm pretty sure that it isn't my problem.
Anyway, I use the STOCK alarm clock ALWAYS. I haven't tried it with the doze mode off, I'll try it today, but still. The fact that I might have to purchase an analogical clock because Android isn't working properly it's just disappointing.
I've been having the same problem on my Galaxy Note 5 since updating to 6.0 Marshmallow, and it persists even with today's update to 6.0.1.
The notification tab for the alarm seems to indicate that it thinks it's still 5:28PM, two minutes before the 5:30 alarm time, even though it's well past 6PM now. The last couple missed alarms DID notify me that I'd missed an alarm, about an hour after the alarm time had come and gone. It won't sound the alarm though.
At first I thought it might have just lost touch with the custom tone I've set for my alarms, but now it seems to be that the alarm clock gets stuck a couple minutes before the alarm, even while the system clock goes on as normal.
This is the default clock's alarm feature, not a third party app, so it should not need any developer updates to work right, if Google is doing their job before pushing out system updates.

I had been using darker themes since the update, not liking all the whiteness of the new default theme, but I reverted to the default long enough to test, and the alarm went off today as normal. So it seems that , at least in my case, the themes are impeding the default clock's alarm function somehow, even those I've used that say they're Marshmallow compatible.
Even with CM13's or OmniROM 6's system alarm app, the alarm will not start and be shown as missed when the phone is longer in standby..alarm clock is set as "non optimized" under the battery settings...I hate doze!
Well, since reverting to the default theme, I've enjoyed the calendar widget keeping the current date. But every time since the first time, the alarms still don't go off.
Again, I am using the STOCK alarm and calendar app that came with the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and its updates, NOT any third-party app. I had been using third-party themes to avoid the stupid whiteness of the new Marshmallow icons (What if I don't want Marshmallow to look like a bunch of marshmallows? What if I liked the Lollipop icons and colors just fine? Eff me.) but reverted to default in a mostly vain attempt to avoid the alarm issues, but the issues persist.
There remains a notification in my taskbar that there is an upcoming alarm at 5:30, even though it's now well past 5:30. The time on the right of the notification is 4:40. So it seems that the clock/calendar's alarm feature is getting stuck in time a little less than an hour before the alarm, and sticks there for hours sometimes, until well past the alarm time. Then sometime far later in time it will suddenly catch up, and HELPFULLY (haha) notify me that I've missed an alarm.
Am I the only one on xdadev that is having this problem with the default app, and default theme? I really wish I could easily revert to Lollipop, since Marshmallow really seems to be a hot mess. I also miss having ADB to push stuff to my FireTV.
Hi,
I have an alcatel 5.5 with android 5.0.2 build LRX22G unroot. And times to times I missed my call because my phone take too long time waking up.
And more important, my alarm doesn't ring and I have a "alarm missed" notification. I also notice that time to time my clock on lockscreen take multiple seconde to update when I wake up the phone.
I'm thinking maybe I have a sort of sleep of death problem, my phone take too much time to wake up from deep sleep or not wake up at all. This morning I was awake before my 7am alarm, I don't touch my phone and the alarm ring only once 30min after and shutdown by itself.
Do you have any idea how I can resolved this ?
Thanks

I had something like this happen to my phone. It might have had to do with me installing a sleep alarm app, and never using it, or when I disabled automatic time zone and kept changing my date back and forth to cheat in Pokemon Shuffle. But the alarm continued to never go off, even after I re-enabled automatic time, and stopped messing with the date.
I fixed my issue by deleting my alarm times, and re-adding them.
y u cheating? lol

Hi nass06, check your PM, I answered you, but not sure it has been sent out, seems I have some problems answering PM's, at least they don't appear in my PM sent list.

That would be awesome if you could post your reply here for the benefit of those who run into this issue in the future.
Eh eh... But the answer was in french. :victory:
I just told him that finally I solved the issue by sending my phone to warranty repair. But my problem was related to a bad flash.
Here I don't know what's the root cause of this "sleep of death". I never had this issue.
I had issues with my alarm not going off. I was using the stock alarm. I then downloaded the Google Clock to set my alarm and didn't experience any more issues. Then the stock alarm provided by Alcatel was upgraded and I updated the app and it seems to be working better now.
I think I always forget about the niggles I have with the CN version of Xiaomi phones and then still buy another. Currently got the EU firmware, and still the same issue.
Common problem for me anyway is the Google Clock app. The alarm fails to go off and the widget still displays the alarm time of the missed alarm, e.g. it says Tue 6am when I do finally wake up, and not display Wed 6am as expected.
I've turned off battery optimisation, and it still fails to go off. If I test it by setting an alarm for a few mins time it works every time.
Similar to Gmail notifications and other apps. When the phone is not used for a while, notifications don't come through until the phone is used.
Any idea how I get the alarm clock to wake up and then wake me up?
Have you tried to lock the app using the recents menu? Open recents using the 3 lined or menu button and then hold the clock app, then select the padlock.
Might keep it active for you
Thanks. Will report back tomorrow if I wake up in time
On top of the memory-lock mentioned above, I'd also recommend turning on autostart for the app

Thanks. I can now see it's tried to autostart several times and been denied so set that to allow. Cheers.
Sadly I didn't wake up this morning (until my iPhone alarm went off.)
The phone just seems fast asleep until I wake it, then it starts receiving all the overnight notifications that my old phone would have just got silently and be there waiting when I look.
I will set an alarm for the morning and report back.
Thanks! I'll try the pre-installed clock app and see if that works.
The Xiaomi clock app works, so seems to be just the Google apps that fall asleep.
Mine went off as planned. Attached screenshot shows it being set off from notifications. Maybe check your notification settings?
Thanks. It goes off if I test it and set it to say 5 mins time, it seems to only be when the phone has not been used for some time, say midnight to 6am, then it seems to have gone to sleep itself. If I wake up early and check the phone, the alarm goes off, so notifications should be ok in that case?
Mine was set night before and in the screenshot you can see that I checked it after 6 and then the phone was left on charge with the screen off as it would normally be over night.
I think I may have fixed it. My alarm has gone off the last two days at least.
I turned off "sleep mode" in battery settings, hidden away under smart scenes.
