Today, not for the first time, my alarm didnt turn on when it was supposed to (yes phone was in normal mode). I had it set for repeating on Thursday at 7:45 gmt and nothing. My roommate also didnt hear anything.
Its very annoying and also very dangerous as my exam term is quickly approaching. Anyone had same problems and managed to repair it? Or is there any different app for alarm?
This really never happened to till I updated to 2.1! After I updated to 2.1, the very first day my alarm didn't turn on. But fortunately it never happened again!
since I updated to 2.1 never happens to me

this as been related with task killers
if u use any u should put alarm on ignore list
1'm still on 1.6 donut... haven't experienced this.
i use it every day to wake me up for work.
Use alarmdroid. Search the market. It's so much better than the stock. There's flip to snooze (works pretty great) Speaking clock that speak what time it is on top of the alarm ringtone. and many other.

That could be it. I use one, but dont have auto-kill. I placed alarm on ignore, hope it will help.
I don't have that issue, but 1 or 2 times since I updated to 2.1, the snooze didn't work.

3rd time here. No task killers.
Definitely snooze is not working properly
I have figured out, the problem was due to Task-Killer only.
My problem is sure not dues to task killers and is exactly as in here,
http : / / talk.sonyericsson.com/message/15832
alarm suddenly decides to snooze after 1h10min instead of 10 min, which in practice is not to snooze... Now I'm using alarm droid
Use Alarm Master and your problem is solved.
I had similar issue, but whit this app everything work perfect.
I can advice AlarmDroid: http://www.netzpurist.de/2010/11/alarmdroid/
it's free ;-)
sorry doublepost. plz delete
AlarmDroid
And I second (or is it n'th already) AlarmDroid. I was using it already in 1.6 and it was the first app I installed on 2.1. Does what it has to do and has the right options!

Hello,
First of all i want to apologize for my bad English is not my native language but I'll try to explain as best as i can.
Well i just found out my clock (time not processor clock) goes faster. No ideea if is only my phone or is a firmware problem. In like 2 days i get 1 minute + to time with or without network synchronization.
I set my time let's say today from my computer at second precision and in 2 days i get +1 minute at least on my lg device.
I use v10n firmware not to many installed applications (I am sure applications have nothing to do with my problem) and if u guys need more information let me know, I'll be around.
Anyone have same problem?
Someone shod make this stiky since untill now every single LG P500 have this clock problem.
Yes.
I have to adjust the time on my phone every few days, because it goes faster like you said, around one minute every 2 or 3 days. I'm on v10b or whatever firmware version is void #alpha based on.
I think we can say this phone "is ahead of its time".
Kudos to you guys for noticing this xD Never new this problem existed or something, since I have mine automatically synchronize once I connect to the net.
I'm on a different ROM, so that may also be a reason why I don't see it.
I have same problem (but only about 10 or 20 sec during 3-5 days). I solve this with help of app called ClockSync with auto synchronization enabled.
Yep this is annoying relay i think i will write LG support for this. Tbh never meet someone with P500 not to have this problem.
And one more thing any application to sync clock witch doesn't require root?

Some operators provides sync service via their GSM network.
Anyway I didn't find sync app which can synch time without root.
It happens to me too. The clock adds 20-30 secs every 3-4 days. Very annoying since I can't count on the clock. I can point you similar problem - the GPS. After I use it 4-5 times it doesn't locate me anymore 'till I reboot the phone. After reboot I localises me immediately.

I have the problem too. But my phone is just "in company"- I have many devices with bad "real" time clocks. My opinion: the 32.768kHz clock crystals nowadays are totally crap
But if I tell android to sync automatically it does not sync at all although the first time I "fired the phone up" it worked...
I turned on autosync - it does not help.

Because Noejn had done some tweaks with GPS in his void. You can ask him what he done and if it was "your problem" related. I'm using void and I have no problem with it.

Hello XDA,
I woke up this morning without the help of my alarm on my samsung vibrant running stock 2.1 eclair. I set the alarm last night to 9.30 and it didn't go off. I woke up and thought it was strange and set the alarm a couple of times to test it. Nothing happened. I then installed a couple of market alarm apps (better alarm, alarm clock plus) and these didn't work either. can someone please tell me whats going on? thanks

+1 I had the same problem and it was my task killer shutting it off. If you are running one, you can setup which programs to kill, and which ones to leave running.
Why anyone uses task killers anymore is beyond me...

On my previous phone which was a Samsung Omnia i8000, for the inbuilt Alarm Clock there was a wake up function. This would allow the user to set the alarm to what ever time to set it off (say 7am), switch the phone right off, and when say 7am came the phone would automatically turn itself ON and the Alarm would go off.
But I would like to know if the Galaxy SII has or can do this. I can seem to find this option in the Alarm clock.
Try it

If you turn the phone off nothing will happen. The phone won't turn on.
Just enable flight mode before you go to sleep and keep the phone on. You can also do this automatically with tasker or probably a ton of other apps on the market.

It would be a shame if it does not work.
I recall my good old Nokias used to wake me up even if the battery ran out and they powered down.... guess there is no such reliability with current smartphones.

If you're asking if it will power up to activate the alarm, it won't, it sucks, I know. If you're referring to the Chainfire app, I have not used that...yet.
I need as many alarms as I can have. In lieu of this I turn off all my phones battery using functions and have SetCPU controlling speed and scaling when the screen is off. Doing this I only lose 2-3% battery during the night.
another alarm related question
as stated in the title i have another question:
do you also have the "problem" that the alarm only rings for a minute and then stops? i mean i have smart alarm activated, which rings for the selected time. but then the alarm itself only lasts for one minute...
No offence, but why not buy a decent alarm clock?
Then you don't have to worry

yeah it's definitely a pity it cant do that alright i posted the exact same question in the HD2 forums last year,i can set my Samsung Tocco's alarm when the phone is off and it will come on at whatever time i set it whereas i have to leave my GS2 on flight mode if i want to use the alarm.
@albinomi lol. When i read your post I thought for a moment "did i write this?" My previous phone was a samsung i8000 windows mobile phone. i also wrote the same question when i changed it with sgs2 . It sucks i know! The answer to your question is : no it does not ring the alarm when the phone is off. You know what else i miss? The sound quality of i8000 when listening to music.The Sgs2's sound sucks compared to it.
Oh, and I also miss the slowmotion recording(it was not the best but at least i had slowmotion recording)

Actually to be honest the sq of the Galaxy S2 is meant to be very good intact brilliant if u use the correct application for it and I think it's better than the i8000 IMHO. IT also uses a Yamaha sound Catherine retry card.

Apparently there was a rumour that a chinese firmware had a power-on wake function. Dunno why they haven't added it to the european/NA firmwares. It's probably like the google talk with video. =/
Alarm waking up the phone
Yes, the powering on alarm does exist.
It is a feature of the chinese roms. You set it power off the phone and....1 min before it is supposed to ring...the phone boots up and the alarms goes off.
Simple. Just like in a Nokia phone.
I have tried to port the app from the chines rom and I even opened a thread here fro people to test the app. It was almost 2 months ago. No one tried it.
For me I couldn't make it to work, the chinese Rom has a different framework and the apk is odexed according to that framework.
I could do almost anything in Silverlight/etc but android isn't on my strong side.
I asked some recognized developers here, most of them flipped me and the rest never responded, opened threads on Android development forum.... no one seems to want a feature like that.
Anyway, PM me if someone wants to take a look at the work I've done then.
I did gave up long time ago.
Here's the thread I opened:

Team,
I have tried a number of the sophisticated alarm apps but I can't find one that wakes up my tablet. Whether I have turned the screen off or let it go to sleep, the alarms do not sound until I physically double-tap the device. Then the alarm kicks in immediately. Obviously, it is totally pointless if I have to wake up the XZT before the alarm sounds!! As this seems to happen with a number of apps, I can only assume that there is a setting somewhere that I have overlooked. Can someone solve this for me please?
Thanks
Do you have Greenify installed or any similar apps that may put the app to sleep? Is this the stock alarm you are using that isn't working?

Nope, I don't know what Greenify is! The stock app seems to work OK. It's the more complex alarms that wake up slowly or provide "nap" features that don't seem to wake the tab up.
If someone could recommend an app that they know works and wakes up the tab, I'd be happy to give it a try.
BTW upgraded to 4.2 yesterday but the problem is still there.

Glad I could inadvertently help! I still think that's odd, but it's good to know for the future. I keep my tablet in the dock, so that may be why I haven't noticed the problem before.
I recently noticed that every once in a while, seems like every hour or so that my s4 will vibrate once, and only once with absolutely no indication of why, no sort of notification, and I am losing my mind trying to figure out what is causing it. I have gone through a bunch of apps and disabled any kind of notification, uninstalled lots of apps and yet, it still happens. Does this happen to anyone else and or does someone know why? I am on mdk. Thanks.
Bump. No one has run into this..? Googling the issue has been useless.

Does it happen only when you pick up the phone? If so, this is an optional feature that indicates you have unread messages. That's about the only thing I can think of.

i had the same issue. in my case it was vibrating everytime i got a new email on the outlook.com app. even though i turned off all notification for that app it still vibrates.
I checked those other things already and it was still doing it. Though I believe I just figured it out in my case. Handcent privacy box. It had sent message notification in the status bar disabled and yet, it was set to vibrate every time, so that made it vibrate shortly after sending a text without any sort of notification. Hopefully that's the only reason for me.
random vibrations well
I've been noticing this too as of recent. While not in use, it tends to sit on my desk next to me. There is no set time, notification, or anything I can see triggering these vibrations. Really bugs the heck out of me.
Well I feel comfort in that I am not the only one it is happening to, and apparently the handcent thing didn't fix it, it just now vibrated for no reason. I'm completely stumped ugh.

I would backup all of your 3rd party apps, uninstall them, then see if it's still happening. Then if it's not doing it just restore one by one until you find the culprit.

Yeah its a good idea, but it would take ages to execute. Since the vibration happens randomly I would have to have the phone on my person at all times and if it happens just once in a day then I'd be restoring a single app at a time

What might be faster would be just to freeze the apps with TiBu, then it would only take a second to restore them. It might take a few days to track down, but it'll save you the hassle of having to deal with it long term
