playing first few seconds of alarm

[seanpbaldwin]

Why is my Galaxy Note 8 only playing the first few seconds of alarm when screen saver is on. It's been doing this since the last update.

Considering you feel that it is tied to the update, what have you tried to remedy this?

My first inclination would be to check your alarm sound and ensure it is still there in its entirety. Maybe even try changing it to something else and testing if you get the same result.

If no joy there I'd probably clear the cache for the alarm/clock app and the screen saver, since you seem to feel they're related.

If still no luck I would move to the phone's cache partition and wipe that. Cache partition wipe... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...cs/DOC-36229&usg=AOvVaw0wpYzyK3eGGVo-9C2mVu1t

As a last resort a factory reset.
