I have set my alarm to be an mp3 file. The alarm goes off at the intended time but it shuts itself off automatically after 1 minute exactly. I am a heavy sleeper so I would like to try and fix this issue! Any guru's out there know what is shutting my alarm off? (Fyi I've had an htc evo it would simply loop the song)
I have the Verizon Samsung Galaxy note II
Flashed with Jelly Beans Build 10
3.0.36-Perseus-alpha32 Kernal
Have you tried setting the snooze to go off at the lowest interval? I believe if you don't turn off the alarm yourself it'll go to snooze and go off again

I have tried, it will work for a few iterations but I feel that isn't a proper fix for it. The notifications do a full play out, I know there has gotta be something that will let me modify how alarms are handled.

I have the latest stock firmware from samfirmware and cfroot for the sgs2 and for the first time I have needed to use the alarm.
After setting alarm in the clock app, a little message comes up saying alarm is set for SOMANY hours and minutes ahead, but the alarm never goes off. I have now tried this many many times, changing the sound to a default one, checking the alarm volume, trying single alarms and repeating alarms but nothing works.
The alarm icon is displayed beside time but nothinf happens.
I has a look in the titanium apps list and noticed that there are 2 clock.apk s v.1.0 is this normal?
I used TuneIn Radio Pro this morning as an alarm and it worked fine.
I do not have any task killers or root apps apart from titanium.
Any ideas?

I myself dont use the advance settings Snooze or smart alarm, just standard be it to repete or once, weekly, the alarm has always gone off.
Try testing the alarm tone before you save its profile event.
It all tests fine but nothing happens when the time comes...

I just have the one Clock 1.0 in titanium backup
Thanks for the reply.
I think this must be the problem but which one to delete. One of the vlock apk I cant open, other one opens alarm page...

Try to freeze one in turn and take it from there.
Well, you see, I had upgraded to kj3 from kj2 without doing a factory reset and I thought everything should be fine...
I did a factory reset and the alarm is now working, though I still have 2 clocks apks...

Hello!
I need help with something.
I have flashed the new ICS REMIX V1.0 and I can not get the vibrator to work when the alarm goes off.
How to get the vibrator to work when the alarm starts up?
I run with remix new v1.0. But that still does not vibrate even though I set it to vibrate. There is such a setting in the alarm settings, but that still does not vibrate and I sleep away half the day.
One of those people who I sleep so deeply that I can hardly hear the alarm signal ..
Anyone else having the same problem? Or is it just a problem in this ROM?
I'd rather not go back and flash the original ROM, I really like this remix v1.0 otherwise.
Would be so nice if someone could help.
Thanks
What apps are people using for their alarms?
Right now I use Alarm Droid. I really like it, but i have a problem with it changing my volume settings on its own.
Example: My phone is on vibrate, and I have an alarm that goes off at 9:05am. When I stop the alarm, my volume changes to either silent (which isn't a huge deal), or full volume. Full volume is when I have a problem, because if I don't notice it, I get email or txt notifications during times when my phone needs to be silent.
Has anyone had this kind of problem? If not what apps work reliably for you?
And before anyone suggests it, I can't just use the sense alarm because I am running CleanRom DE which is senseless. Although I have had this problem from the very beginning running the phone bone stock. So...any thoughts?

I use DoubleTwist Alarm, Love it so far, give suggestions for bed time and lets you know how long before the alarm is triggered
Kaloer Clock is my go to. Will Force the alarm volume separate from the system math on snooze or dismiss, quite a few options for customizing the clock face.
umm stock... dont know why i need anything else
what he said. why don't any of you use stock? its just an alarm clock lol. it wakes me up every day without a hitch.

I rarely use an alarm to wake up with... When I need one, I just set an appointment in Touchdown and let its appointment reminder wake me up.
Alarm clock ultra free.... Great features.... quick nap settings are great and so is the advanced math alarm for days where you absolutely must be up.

I just use the stock one.
I really miss the Blur Alarm clock from my Droid X. It's the ONLY Blur thing I miss. I like how the entire screen was the snooze button and you had to slide to dismiss. I wish there was a 3rd party alarm that was set up just the same. I have seen a hack to make the CM7 alarm work to look just like it, but nothing else.
Can't see a need to use anything other than the stock one - wakes me up every morning without problems
I use alarm clock xtreme. It seems to let you set the volume in the app independent of other volume levels.
I use stock. I keep all my volumes on high anyway so no need for anything else.

I use alarms as reminders and have been struggling to find the easiest way to create alarms on the fly. I'm currently using an app called Life Reminders, which has some nice features, but I'm still on the lookout for something better.
I just use the stock one. Works fine for what I need it to do, wake me up

Waking up is my kryptonite. If it's to easy to shut my alarm off, or snooze, I will never wake up, or snooze for over an hour. My boss hates the first, my wife hates the second.
Gentle Alarm, it slowly ramps up in volume so it wakes me up and not the wife.

You can do that in stock, just go to sound in settings and you can adjust alarm volume. Also I use stock sense or aosp, depending on rom

Like a lot of others said, Stock. Ive never even thought about any other alarm apps. Stock works perfectly fine for me.

I like having a larger snooze button, I wake up better if I hit snooze a few times and slowly wake up, it makes me feel like I'm getting a little bit of bonus sleep.
If I have to focus my eyes long enough to slide the "snooze" button into the ring, I've already woken up too much.
If stock is good for you, then great. There are some of us that prefer a huge, easy to use snooze button and then making it more complicated for the dismissal part.
Has anyone else been having problems with the stock alarm clock on the Galaxy S4? Mine seems to be unreliable. Goes off one morning, but not the next. But is random when it works and doesn't.
Current settings:
Android: 4.2.2
Carrier: Verizon
Time: 7am
Days: MTWTF
Repeat Weekly: Checked
Alarm type: Vibration and Melody
Alarm tone: Journey
Sound: Maxed
Location alarm: off
Snooze: off
Smart alarm: off
In "menu" outside that section I have "voice control" off.
Not rooted, no other ROM. Just default, stock Verizon Galaxy S4.
Before I go to bed I double check to make sure my alarm is on and sound is at the max (not in vibration or silent mode). Power saving mode is "off". I have no task killers. I do close all my apps using the default android task manager. But then I turn the alarm clock back on because I'm paranoid. But none of this seems to help.
I've tried factory reset, that didn't seem to help as it still sometimes goes off and sometimes doesn't. I have not tried any other alarms than the stock one. I will be trying one (any suggestions?) and updating this to let you know if it worked. But until then, it would be cool to see if I'm not the only one having this issue and to see if anyone else has solved this!
Thanks!

I use the alarm every day as well, and have not had a problem with it not going off. Are you using one of the stock alarm tones, or a custom song/sound? I have used both without issues, but if you're using something other than a stock tone, maybe try one of those to see if it's an issue with your audio file.
Edit: I see that it's called "Journey" so that may be a stock tone. I guess I'm not sure then

Correct, the alarm tone I'm using is a stock tone. It's woken me up before, so I don't think I'm sleeping through it haha. My only guess is my phone is somehow going into a low power state that's not updating the time every minute, therefore the alarm time is sometimes getting skipped and therefore not getting triggered. I just don't know what would be causing this as I have "power saving mode" off and I haven't ran into any other settings that would do this... I do plug my phone in overnight too, so you'd think it would be going full force anyway. But I just recently switched from iOS so I'm still a bit new to the android side of things .

Have you tried running some daytime tests to see if it rings on time? The clock on the lockscreen may only update when the screen is on, but the phone always knows what time it is. If you can get it to skip alarms reliably, maybe take it to a Verizon store and have them swap it out. I've used my cell phone as an alarm for quite a few years (I have a backup as well, but only because I'm pretty good at shutting alarms off in my sleep) and the only times I had trouble was with older phones when I was rooted and running a less-than-stable custom roms.

I did run various tests throughout the day yesterday, have a few set for today too. All went off fine so far. The stock alarm woke me up this morning too. Maybe I just had to break it in haha. I'm worried it will skip again, though, so I'm using my desktop as a backup alarm clock, lol. If it does skip I will more than likely take it to Verizon, as this doesn't seem normal. Haven't tried any non-stock alarm clock apps yet. Guess I should look for a good backup app just in case eh.
No problems here. Use everyday on Stock ROM

I ended up switching to an app called "Timely". I have had zero issues with myself ever not hearing this app or it not going off. Even if the phone is on vibrate or silent.

yes it's really unreliable not only in your 4.2 s4. it often doesnt go off on my s3 mini too. just download another one.
I was just gonna say I've never had a problem with the stock alarm...and what do you know, this morning it didn't go off. I always wake up no matter how loud or quiet the alarm is so I'm fairly certain I didn't sleep through it.

Recently I thought my alarm wasn't going off in the morning anymore. However I found out that the alarm has been auto snoozing itself after exactly one minute. It usually takes me around 2-3 minutes to get up (I'm a heavy sleeper) so this is a problem. I'm on Jelly "Beans" build 5. I don't want to use an alternative alarm clock since I like the smart alarm feature and the stock app overall just fits with touchwiz. I've already tried clearing app data and wiping dalvik cache/cache. Any help would be appreciated!
