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?

    I’d try a different alarm app before delving this deep. Yeah its an issue, but its really easy to go to F Droid or Izzy and get a replacement app.

      I’d say it’s worth doing this regardless to help determine if it’s an application or system issue causing them not to go off.

        Fair enough. I’ll try this as a diagnostic step, and if it works, as a permanent workaround, thanks.
