Hello. I'm not sure if this is even solvable through the community post but maybe someone knows something. Basically quite a few of my alarms are not going off. I will clear the cashe as suggested to me the last time I made a post about alarms. However i basically clear the cashe everytime i set my alarms. My phone is up to date. A little older but up to date irregardless. The alarm app itself is also up to date. Other than getting an actual alarm clock I'm not entirely sure what to do. I woke up 15 minutes after I was supposed to start my shift. Thankfully my job knows that I am extremely punctual and if I haven't shown up its because my alarm didn't go off. Didn't happen that often before but since October rolled around it's been happening more frequently. Was there maybe an issue with the last update? I'm not sure. Any sort of answer would be lovely. I'm willingly to try anything because I just switched jobs and money is super super tight so I'm trying to not have to buy an alarm clock in this moment. Thank you!
Are you using the network provided time & date? You can check in Settings > General Management > Date & Time.
You could always try clearing cache AND data for the clock again, or you could always Backup your phone with smart switch & factory reset. See if that fixes the issue.
Hi Enylorac, please try the steps below and get back to us with the results.
1. Empty your phone's cache memory. To clear the cache, go to Settings, drag to and tap on Apps. Go to the app you want to delete and tap it. Tap Storage, then Clear Cache.
2. If that doesn't work, tap "Clear Data" (Note: this will erase all app data on your phone and you will need to log back in).
This has now happened to me 4 times in November. It didn't happen at all before that. Alarm never goes off at all and I wake up sometimes more than an hour later. There's no missed alarm, nothing. I've already tried clearing the cache and clearing the data on my alarm clock app and then resetting the alarms. I tried stopping my do not disturb a few minutes before my alarm goes off (even thought do not disturb by default should allow alarms through). None of it has worked. One time I was almost late to class (the one I'm teaching!)
OF COURSE ITS SET TO THE RIGHT TIME. STOP TRYING TO DEFLECT BLAME, THE ALARM APP SIMPLY DOESN'T WORK AS ITS ADVERTISED TO. IM ON A BRAND NEW S24, MY CACHE IS EMTPY, NOTHING YOU SAY COULD POSSIBLY BE HAPPENING AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. STOP IGNORING THE ISSUE - THE APP IS BROKE.
If the alarm just vibrates I have found out why. When I go to sleep I prefer to have my notification sound off so I don't get notified messages at night. However, this prevents your alarm from ringing with sound. If you don't ha e your ringer on in your volume settings, the alarm will not go off.
I have the same problem. It's when the mute is on, then the alarm doesn't override that. This was not the case before, so in some update, somebody made a "feature improvement" that makes things horribly bad.
This should be a ticket. At least you should have a slider for "allow overriding muted sound" in setting an alarm. I mute during the night, as opposed to "do not disturb" which I use to screen calls and only directly accept from key people during the day. At night, I'd like to sleep. But I would prefer being able to wake up.
Same problem here, and I keep my phone with sound on while sleeping so it has nothing to do with do not disturb. This is like the most basic function and android can't get it right.
