Alarm clock fails to go off

nid

Hi, I installed GrapheneOS a few days ago on my Pixel 4a. I'm satisfied with the overall experience so far, but one thing bothers me: alarm clock just straight up doesn't work.

I have an alarm set for 7:00 every day, and it has never went off yet. Thankfully I have other family members at home that wake me up, but for someone who lives alone, this might end up really badly.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

nid That's strange.

Have you tried testing it while you are awake? For example, set an alarm 5 minutes from now, and see what happens.

nid Clear the data for the clock app. You might have some kind of configuration issue from a past bug in the app that's interfering with current usage.

treequell Yeah that's exactly what I did some minutes ago. A notification popped up that the alarm is about to go off, but it eventually didn't

Have you tried installing a different alarm clock app and seeing if that one works?

I don't know why it's not working, just thinking of some ideas to better diagnose the issue.

I tested Google's alarm clock app and it seems to work. However, after testing the stock app again, it works too...

I've set both apps to go off at a slightly different time in the morning. I'll post an update tommorow

So apparently, the stock alarm clock app is working. I don't know what happened, perhaps I was dismissing the alarm and immediately falling back asleep so I forgot. I saw other people on the internet having a similar issue so I thought it's the OS' fault.
Apologies if I have caused any confusion.

Actually, wait, what if it happens randomly like people said? Whatever, I'll see in the next few days.

nid I've been using GrapheneOS on beta/alpha builds in the main since the Pixel 3 and rely upon my alarm also, I have never had the issue. You should be fine.
