Alarms not triggering early in the morning?

Hello, I factory reseted my phone recently and I cant seem to get my alarms to trigger, i do NOT use the phone default alarm software, (mainly because I do not want the alarm sign icon at the top of the screen reminding me what I already know), so I use another software, I currently have 3 other alarm software's (Tasker, Alarm Clock Plus, Alarm Clock Xtreme) and while they do trigger when I test the alarm just a couple mins from now, the problem is at the morning, I assume its because my phone goes into deep sleep? here is my CPU spy screenshot which confirms my phone going into that mode, are alarms not supposed to trigger there?

I also use greenify, but as far I know I have completely ignored the alarm apps and anything related, so it shouldn't really be messing around with them.

Anyone had this problem or know what might help me? and no the alarms did not worked before the reset either, then again I had greenify back then too,...

Which alarm app are you using?

If it does not properly register itself, it will not wake the device from deep sleep. Check the Play store feedback to see if others are reporting the same issue.

Hi thanks for the reply, I listed them above, all 3 Tasker, Alarm Clock Plus, Alarm Clock Xtreme, they work when I set it ahead just a few minuted to test them, but the ones I have at around 6AM does not trigger on none of them, I imagine the chances of all 3 being defective is low and its more related to my phone
 
Alarm Clock Plus hasn't been updated since 2014; it is highly unlikely that it would function correctly.
Alarm Clock Xtreme hasn't been updated since April, 2015 and probably has problems with Android 5.0.1 and up.
Tasker - lots of feedback complaints related to Lollipop and Marshmallow

Foolish question, I know, but is there a particularly good reason you don't simply use the native alarm clock?

Yes, two of them actually, the less important one is that as I stated above I do not need a reminder of my daily alarm to be on top of my screen, I mean I know its there, I know its going to ring everyday (or at least I expect it to), why would I want it there.

And probably the most important one is that those 3 apps allow me pick a song at random to wake me up from my mp3 playlists/library, I did not check for a lot of time but as far I am aware the native alarm clock cant do that.

I guess Ill check tonight by putting an alarm on my native clock and see what happens.
 
I dont claim to understand whats happening but apparently out of 4 alarms I had set up.

Alarm Clock Plus was early at 6.56 AM and it DID ring, thus ensuing most of the data below could be compromised since it took the phone away from deep sleep which I think its the main issue.
Alarm Clock Xtreme triggered at 9AM
Native clock did not trigger at 7AM (what the hell...)
Tasker did not trigger at 8AM

... now im not saying I need all 4 alarms, but it would be nice to be able to depend on my expensive phone to do something as trivial as trigger an alarm and wake me up

Did you try to set both Alarm Clock Xtreme and the native alarm to both trigger at 7:00 AM?

Most Android/iPhone apps actually make use of internal functions which are basic parts of the OS; it is possible that both Alarm Clock Xtreme and the native alarm clock were in fact setting the same trigger and cancelling the first one effectively cancelled the other one as well. Perhaps tonight you could try setting ONLY the native alarm and see if it goes off on time.

As to Alarm Clock Xtreme triggering early - what's that all about??
 
No, as I mentioned I set one exactly at 6:56AM and other at 7:00 AM, I intentionally put them on different time, I assumed the one at 6:56 was not going to trigger since it didnt before and I didnt though it mattered.

Edit oh, I confused Xtreme with Plus, (Xtreme is at 9, plus is at 6.56AM) not that it matters much I guess

Oh. You said "early at 6;56 AM" which I thought meant that it was set for 7:00 but popped 4 minutes early.
 
I guess now its a good time as any to mention English is not my first language and people should take any idiom I try to say with a grain of salt
