Alarm sound settings

[Android Central Question]

My 1.5 year old Lenovo m8 tablet recently decided to disregard my choice of alarm sound, and give me the rooster alarm sound regardless of what I choose. Please advise. Thank you.

Your using custom tones ?
Try opening your file manager on the device make sure there in notifications file see if it sticks

Welcome to Android Central! Are you certain this is the stock Clock app? Could it be from some other alarm app that you might have installed?

Is the rooster alarm tone one of the preinstalled tones that came with the tablet?

I'm the original poster. I'm not using custom tones. I'm not sure what a "file manager" is. If it's an app, then I don't have one. Also, I haven't installed any other Clock apps.

Yes, I'm using the stock Clock app. The rooster alarm is one of the pre-installed tones.

When I click on other pre-installed tones, the checkmark "takes" and the correct sound is previewed/sampled, but the rooster sound still broadcasts in the morning.

Can you show a screenshot of your selection of ringtones with rooster?

I just took a screenshot, not sure if I can upload it. I will try now.

Ok, upload apparently worked. Neon is the latest of several non-rooster sounds I've tried.

Thanks , you using a VPN?

Go to Settings>Apps, select Clock, then Storage, and Clear Cache/Clear Data, then Force Stop. Now open the Clock app again and set up your alarm. Does it still default to the rooster?

That's definitely on list to try

Yes, I'm using a VPN as you can tell from my screenshot.

Ok, I went to settings/apps, selected Clock and then storage. I then cleared both cache and storage. There wasn't an option to clear data (probably the same as storage). Wasn't an option for Force Stop either.

Then I clicked on the alarm icon and went to alarm settings and chose neon again. It actually showed rooster as the default alarm sound.

Anyway, I set the alarm for midnight -- i.e., 3 minutes ago, and it worked properly (neon was broadcasted). Case solved/closed.

Thanks for your help.

Ok
If it still issue try turning VPN off It may throw the alarm clock off but if it stays good then nothing further.
