S5 alarm not sounding

[SebsMech89]

Hey guys. Been having the same issue since my first Samsung device. First I owned a galaxy S advance and then my current S2, both with the Android 4.1.2 update, and I think that's the source of the problems.

So I installed Alarm Clock Plus and it solved, but this morning it didn't go off. But I think I know why... Last night the device was overheating so I just went to "Active Apps" and closed everything... Silly me.

Oh, and the alarm isn't the only issue. The reminders of the calendar dones't ring either for both my phones.


Regards

I have had the same problem for 3 days in a row now. Before that it worked perfectly for a couple of weeks. I have the alarm on vibration only.The phone says that the alarm was silenced after 1 minute. I know it was not.

Today I had it on snooze, three times at 5 min interval. It should have started at 05.15. I woke up at 05.22 turned on the phone, got up. At 05.25 the third snooze started without the first two sounding at all.

It must be in some kind of deep sleep or something... It works if I set it to go off in a few minutes.
There are quite a few threads on different forums about the same problem but no solution other than installing third party apps. That should not be necessary.
Some people say that the alarm sounds for about half a second before it turns of. That could be the case for me also...

Any ideas someone?
