Alarm Clock is no longer dependable.

[John Hennessy1]

Mine works but is so quite its useless. Volume is all the way up.. I've tried everything to short of getting a new phone.. Oh I have had my phone for two years with no issues until recently...

in the stock alarm, you can go into settings and set alarm volume. it's a different setting than the ringer/media setting. have you tried that?

this was my problem, the volume for the clock app was at zero.

Ugh, it stopped working again. Think Daylight Saving Time could be the culprit?

I don't have any issues either but I would suggest Alarm Clock Plus. It seems to be more reliable than the stock alarm app and I have never had an issue with this app for the past 3 phones. I am not normally the one to post an answer to a question you didn't ask (like are there any good alarm clock apps), but this might solve your issue and put your mind at ease.

Sorry to bump an older thread but I have this same problem. I'm running a custom ROM, but this problem persists over several ROMs. The stock android alarm will stop responding. I'll wake up with the phone quiet and screen turned off. I'll turn it on and have a window that says "Alarm is not responding. Wait or close" then when I close it, the alarm goes off. After that, even the snooze works. It will go off 10 minutes later. I also have tried Alarm Clock Plus, and the same thing is happening.

With ACP I have the little alarm clock figure in the task bar. It's the last thing I do with my phone before bed, so the JB task killer doesn't affect it. I've tried using a standard alarm and just turning it on every night, as well as having a repeating alarm (M-F @ 730am). Both do the same thing. But the weird thing is if I set another alarm to test it, and set it for maybe 5 minutes later, it will work. I've tried clearing data from ACP as well as the stock app, manually removing my alarms and recreating them, etc. Nothing seems to work!

Apparently all custom ROMs have this same issue. I have tried about 6 or 7 different ones, and they have all had the same issue. It's very disappointing. Even if you use another alarm clock app. I don't know if anyone else has this problem: The Calendar reminders do not work either.

I wish I could depend on any type of alarm/reminder, however, I can't.
