Daily alarms switching off, overnight?

peterg — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 08:22:48 GMT

I have four daily alarms set on my Motorola g7 power phone (also one weekly alarm) recently the daily ones seem to switch off (overnight?) - all four seem to switch off, the weekly one is OK. Can anyone suggest a couse for this?

Hi @peterg

Welcome to the community.

Is your phone on the latest software? Have you tried turning off the alarms and re-setting them up?

Is there a 'silence after' option in your clock settings, @peterg?

Do they always switch off since you noticed the problem, or do they sometimes work?

Hi there is a silence after option currntly set at 10 minutes - have not changed it was not aware of it before - I only notice quite recently, i may have put it down to personal error but four different limes is stretchin credulity.

I've been reading a few similar threads on the internet, @peterg

Some users have said that their alarm clock volume had reset to zero, somehow. It may be worth checking that. Under Clock > Settings > Volume buttons - make sure this is not "Control volume".

If you search 'quick settings' on your phone, can you find the 'say snooze' and 'say stop' settings, @peterg?

If so, could you switch those off and test an alarm please?

The other two things to try (you've probably tried the first already), are to restart your phone and clear the cache on your clock:

Go to Apps > Clock > Storage > Clear Cache.

I meant just to set an alarm, say in a minutes time, just to test if it works.

For testing I restarted the phone and cleared the cache, tested the alarm a few minutes ago and all seemed OK. Thanks for the help but I will reserve final verdict till tomorrow morniing, if that's OK to ensure the alarms are still there in the morning, If so I'll mark this as the solution, cheers for your help and guidance.

Hi Chris the alarms seem to a) still be there the next morning and b) work OK.

I also , for the first of the four alarms changed the schedule from just todayto every day to remove the possibility of not resetting it.

So as I say, all seems good. Thank you for your help and guidance I will mark your last comment as the solution. Cheers again.
