If I set an alarm for two hours from now, it will go off. I’ve tested this a few times.
But my morning alarms, at 6:07 and 6:13 am, just don’t go off. I’ve been testing this for like a week now and I cant figure it out. Later in the day, maybe 3 or 4 hours later, the phone will alert me that I missed the alarm, even when my body clock wakes me up before the alarm and I lay awake watching my phone tick past the alarm time without it ever twitching or doing anything.
So far, I’ve tried:
- Deleting all alarms and recreating them
- Clearing the app cache and data, then rebooting
- Removing Duraspeed system app which I suspected of causing problems
- Toggling every setting and widget related to alarms and DND I can find
Here’s my alarm setup:
Clock app settings:
Android sound settings:
Now, I suspected it was some battery thing killing the app, or DND preventing it from going off, but these settings all look correct to me:
And just now, its warned me about the missed alarm that I laid awake watching not go off:
Any ideas about what else to investigate, or what else to do? Should I just download and rely on a different alarm app or something?
Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I announce my alarm went off this morning and I arrived at work on time.
Unfortunately, with all the fiddling around, I’m not sure quite what I did to fix it. I think that maybe just uninstalling and reinstalling the clock app from Google play fixed the problem. Either that, or fully disabling my scheduled Do Not Disturb function.
