[Q] Alarm clock and screen - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

So I'm pretty sure this happened and I wasn't dreaming.
I set my alarm for 6:30am. When it goes off, sometimes the screen will wake and gives me choices to snooze or cancel the alarm. However, sometimes the screen just stays sleep. I have to press the power button to make the screen come on.
Anyone have this happen?
Stock and rooted. Only frozen app is tether manager.

You must have been dreaming. Nah just kidding! This happens to me all the time. At first I also taught I was dreaming. It's funny how tech can mess with us and make us question our sanity, hehe.
I have one alarm programmed to repeat Every Weekday (Mon-Fri) and another one set to repeat Weekly on Saturdays and Sundays. The only times that my display has turned on for both alarms is when I wake up before the alarm and use the phone (check emails, etc. before turning the display back off). I think that this doesn't happen when the Note is charging, but if the phone has finished charging before the alarm goes off the display will not turn on with the alarm. Something is definitely causing the display to stay asleep when the alarm goes off. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this issue. Is it a flaw in the alarm clock, the Note, or some if there is some app messing with the alarm clock? Maybe a factory reset could fix it but I haven't given it a try. I'm on a stock Gingerbread non rooted i717.
If you find a solution to this problem, please share it.

Same to you. Glad I wasn't dreaming. lol

Alarm

Is there a way of turning my phone off at night as it charges and have my alarm clock set to a time lets say 9 Am. And at 9AM my phone will turn on and alarm will ring? is there any program or way of doing this.. thanks!
it sounds like you don't want to be bothered with late night annoying calls and text messages. some phones if you set the alarm and turn the phone off the alarm will wake up the phone and in return wake you up as well. not the raphael. so take this approach.
Set your alarm for whatever time you want to wake up. Then go to your 'Settings Tab' and click 'Phone Off'. Why do this?
- it's going to save all of the text messages you receive at night
- it will let you have full function outside of your internet and receiving/calling ability
- your phone is actually off to everyone else but you. its like your invisible.
hope that helps

Alarm wont take G Tablet out of sleep mode.

I received my tablet a couple weeks ago and I have flashed Harmony Gingerbread rom onto it. I have been very very happy with it so far but I have noticed one thing. The alarm clock is not working correctly.
I have the alarm clock programmed for 630AM in and I put my G Tablet onto the malata dock. Like normal after a short amount of time the screen will turn off. However when 630AM rolls around my alarm on my tablet wont go off. (I have my archos 70 alarm clock set just in case the alarm on the G Tab didn't work) When I hit the power button on my G Tab the screen comes up and then the alarm will start going off (however many mins later than 6:30am)
It seems as if the alarm clock does not force the G Tablet out of sleep mode. Where on my Archos 70 the alarm does force the tablet out of sleep mode.
Has anybody else had issue with this and/or know a fix for this?
Thanks,
Aawa
I use Calkulin's ROM with pershoot's kernel. I have my email set to check every 5 minutes, and wifi set to never sleep. I don't know if this helps keep the tab awake or not (results in about a 10% loss of battery overnight), but I tested the alarm for two mornings and both times it went off.
I wouldn't rely on it though.

I know that there has been issues with people having sleep issues with the dock. Try taking your tab out of the dock and see if that will allow the alarm to go off as it should.
Other than that, make sure that you are on the latest kernel by which ever kernel dev you prefer, as they are both continually updating with the latest-greatest...
Same thing here,
Not even having the dock with stock ROM. Device will not wake from sleep on events for what ever events they can be.
Let me know if any solutions,

I have the exact same problem. I posted on the Q&A side and didn't get much response. I did, however, find a fix that involves an app called Load Monitor. It can be set up to prevent the tablet from entering what they call "deep sleep".

My alarm has gone off correctly the past three mornings (using App Alarm set to open Pandora).
follow-up
OK,
I think I found something related to this issue, when I turn OFF the screen time out, the alarm come on however, I have no sound. BTW this seemd to be calendar related only. I tried all combination of sounds settings and nothing works.
I will try with the alarm clock to see how it goes.
Lets see with the next patch.

I still haven't been able to get this to work correctly. I installed App Alarm and Load Monitor last night and it didn't go off this morning. I will see if i made any configuration mistakes and see if that works.
Did you go to Load Monitor preferences put checks in "Add Notification," "Auto Start," and "Wake Lock," and then change "Update Interval" to 5 minutes?
Apparently I didn't have Wake Lock checked. I just changed that and will be testing it out.
Thanks for the advise!
Ran into this issue this morning after updating to Ginger Edition 7 RC1 last night. It worked great on Vegan 5.1.1 but not after the update. Good thing I am paranoid about oversleeping. I will check out the load monitor app as well.
I installed load monitor and tested the alarm before I went to sleep. It appeared to work as the screen had locked and the alarm went off. It went off on schedule this monring but I hit snooze and the entire tablet was powered off when I woke up 30 minutes later.
I solved my problem
Since reading all the posts here that people were leaning towards wifi being the problem I remembered seeing wifi setting having something called wifi behavior under advanced settings, while I was poking around my new tablet. I went to it and there is an option where you tell the wifi never to sleep. That seems to have done the trick. It has worked both plugged in and on battery. The battery drained from 75% to 65% from 10:30 last night to six this morning. Hope it helps
Just noticed I posted on the wrong thread. I meant to put it on the g tab won't. Wake after sleep thread but I guess. It could be a related issue.

Alarm doesn't go off

Hi, I'm using the stock alarm and recently it's stopped going off. When I do wake up, I turn on the screen THEN the alarm goes off, what does that mean? I don't use task killers. I do use aeroplane mode while sleeping but that's never caused trouble before.
Only changes that I've made recently was a mod to add boot into recovery etc. but it was an update of a mod I've been using for a long time without trouble.
This mod doesn't add an other alarm apk that can cause a conflict?
Do you see a other "alarm and clock" in your drawer?
Your alarm apk has green or blue indicators?
No, the mod doesn't say it affects the alarm, but I still wondered! I'm not using any other alarms. The alarm goes green when active.
I reset the phone twice and it did not help. I have noticed something: it works if I leave the phone on, if I put the phone in aeroplane mode then the alarm doesn't work. I will re-install the software to see if that helps.
Are you on ICS already?
Issue might be due to the time not in sync when in airplane mode.
Is your time settings set to automatic?
Interesting ideas ^^. Well I did not find out what the problem was, but I restored the ROM to a long time ago and the problem is gone. Yes, I'm on ICS already. I tried deleting all apps and that wasn't it either. I suspect it could have been a bug in a mod.
Hi, so
You turn on alarm
You shut the screen off
You turn on the screen and see the alarm is off?
Try another alarm from the market maybe? If you really want to keep this rom

Alarm stops after 1 minute

Alarm stops after 1 minute. That's really a deal breaker, because 1 minute is very brief, and it made me not wake up, first because of my biological system (that is hard to wake up) and second the brief sound that didn't have time to wake me up.
- XXELKC. Does anyone have some knowledge about this?
+1.....
Set loads of alarms five minutes apart, or use a different alarm app. Surely you can come up with some solution.
My biggest gripe with the alarm after coming from the one x is that there isn't an icon to show that you're snoozing and deactivate when you get up, although I now use the 4.2 alarm which seems to do the trick.

alarm clock late/snooze

not sure if this was always the case with the S5 since I switched from an S4 on Sprint, but my alarm clock has been set to 7:14am during the weekdays and what I've noticed is that it will actually go off at the time set PLUS the snooze amount. So the default snooze time is "5 minutes, 3 times" and what happens is the alarm actually goes off at 7:19 despite the alarm setting saying 7:14am! I've verified this several times thinking that in my sleepy state I must have pressed snooze, but I haven't! The weird thing is if I set the alarm for that day, it goes off as usual. If I set the alarm for the next day or later, this issue happens. Anyone else notice this or am I missing something in one of the settings?
no one uses snooze?? what I noticed is that if I don't use the snooze option, the alarm goes off exactly when it should. the issue I'm having is if I have the snooze option set, the alarm doesn't go off until after the time specified in snooze. what makes it even weird is that this happens ONLY if the alarm is set to go off a day later. if I set it to go off say half an hour from now as a test, it works fine!!
