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.
Cheers

I use Timely and it works perfectly. Sounds like the app isn't your problem though.

Thanks - you have solved my problem without realizing it!:good:
I loaded Timely, set a test alarm and it immediately told me that it wouldn't work while Stamina was enabled. It even gave instructions on how to add an exception to Stamina.
Working perfectly now.
Many thanks - I hope this helps others:laugh:
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.

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!
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

Btw whats XDA Premum ?
I haven't seen anything like this in the stock alarm app, although i'm not sure about any other apps
you need NoMoarPowah from Chainfire
Hehe. Try to set alarm and turn off your phone.

My Samsung i8000 Windows Mobile phone definately did have it.
Oh well I will experiment on my Galaxy SII and see what happens.
Thanks
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)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
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.
You will need to go to heaf-fi.org to find out more

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:

Does anyone know of an app that can disable autostarts, that actually works with ICS? The "autostarts" app from the market hasn't worked properly in a while for me... where as on my G2 it made quite a difference...
please give me your suggestions, looking to change apps as soon as possible =)
thanks in advance!

System tuner has a "startups" section that seems to do the trick for me.. I was actually just messing with that this morning, trying to figure out if there are certain apps I don't use much using my shiz.
Hell, if you're trying to tame your battery use, look at the "events" section right next to startups - with that you are supposed to be able to shut off certain PARTS of a program - like I only use G+ to autosync new pictures, I turned off everything but the photo sync part, and now g+ doesn't show up under betterbatterystats at all(I only have it sync on wifi, while plugged in).
Give me some feedback if it isn't working for you, but seems to work fine for me!
I use the weatherbug app on my phone and with every cm rom i've had on various phones, the sound for a weather alert does not work, i get the notification in status bar, but no sound. anyone else??? i've tried everything and it won't work, works fine on all other roms.

I haven't tried this myself, but if you experience this issue across several CM versions and devices, it's worth reporting to the JIRA bug tracker. Be sure to reproduce the issue on a milestone, RC, or stable release, else your bug report will be tossed out.
Oh, I just saw that you're talking about a third-party app. I use WeatherBug Elite on my phone. I've turned on sound notifications, but I don't have a way to create a weather alert so I can't test it immediately. Not sure when bad weather will roll through either...

I can confirm this behavior today. I received numerous weather alerts that all showed in status bar, but no sound. This is most likely a bug in the application considering other apps are able to activate the notification sound without issue. I suggest e-mailing the developer (I will do the same).

yes, but if you set the notification sound to deault system it works, got mall kinds of alerts today, with the sound, storming like crazy here today. I've already sent an e-mail
What a lousy reply:
The application does not support custom ROM/Mods at this time.

Got a question on this app also. If I use the free version everything works great. Now when I go to install the elite version, everything works except my google maps won't load under the radar tab. It shows the rain or snow but not the google map. Is there anyway to fix this?

Hello all,
I'm having a strange problem with my S23 Ultra. I can receive notifications from Telegram, Messages and WhatsApp but not from my banking apps.
To diagnose the problem, I checked that notifications are enabled for the apps, no deep sleep, lock screen notifications not showing content for the apps, I enabled notification history and attempted to transfer money from one bank to another. I received no notification. Checked the notifications history and there was nothing for the app. However, luckily within the app it allows you to see sent notifications and it it's recorded that it's sent a notification of the transfer.
What else can I do to diagnose. This is only impacting some apps (mainly banking ones from what I can see) although it is difficult to tell for sure if you don't actually know whether the app sent a notification or not.
Have you tried to set the app's battery settings to unrestricted?

Did these apps send you notifications previously on prior devices?
Not OP, but at least on my device, prior to updating it to android 13 all apps would give me notications with no issue
Did you set the phone up from scratch or restore from a backup? If the latter, that's probably your problem. I would factory reset the phone and take a few hours to set everything up from scratch.
None , just OTA updated it.
I guess that is closer to backup though. I might factory reset it tomorrow when I have a bit of time then. Just a bit annoying, especially from an OTA update
