Alarm going off every day, unknown source...

[Android Central Question]

Can anyone help find the App that is doing this?
Alarm has an orange bar across the screen with the text "DISMISS",
then the time on the center of the screen (portrait),
then a lime green bar that says "SNOOZE" with the default of "10 min",
then a line of 5 lime green boxes with other snooze options...

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Is this how the native alarm function works as well, or is it completely different?

It's a Note 9 and not the native alarm function, I use that every day.

When this alarm goes off, tap the Recent Apps/Overview button and see if you can figure out which app is responsible there.

 

[rwittmann]

It doesn't show up.

Here is what the alarm looks like on the screen:

Let me move this to the Note9 forum to see if other Note9 users are familiar with this screen.

You download another alarm?

 

[rwittmann]

Negative, I have looked through all my apps and no other apps with alarms... ( that I know of)

Any applications like swift installer or good lock something similar , go into your settings and then app list see one by one there .

 

[rwittmann]

Nothing...
On Windows you can look at all "apps" that are running or you can also look at all "processes" or "threads" that are running, is there something like that for Android???

I was really hoping that someone would recognize the screen image from when the alarm goes off!!!
But I really appreciate any help or suggestions!!!

Couple ways you check in device care app >memory see if anything there

On the Pixel 3 XL, you have to enable Developer Options to see what services are currently running, so that may be the case for the Note9 as well. To enable Developer Options, go to Settings>About Phone, tap Build Number 7 times, then go up one menu level and tap Developer Options.

Did you try looking for another clock app? Most of them have alarm functions built in. Might be easier to go through your installed apps list on the Google play store app.

 

[rwittmann]

No additional clock or alarm apps...

No additional clock or alarm apps...

When it pops up see if you can long press or settings see where its coming from and does it pop up in notifications panel?

 

[rwittmann]

Thanks for the info about this!
It does work exactly the same in Note 9 pie, (tapping the build number 7 times) unfortunately I do not see anything that could be doing an alarm.
But I really appreciate the help with Dev Options!!!

You can download an app called Application Inspector. It monitors which apps have been used. The list can be sorted by last time used. The offending app should show on this list.

 

[rwittmann]

it pops up full screen like this...

I'm really digging the actual photos of your phone as opposed to a screenshot! OLD SCHOOL, BABY!

Anyways...
That looks just like the alarm screen I see, each morning from my sleep tracking app, called Sleep as Android: Sleep cycle tracker, smart alarm,

If this app is the offender, then it should show in the recent apps list. It does on my Note 9.
