Does your alarm icon vanish sometimes? - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone notice that sometimes the icon that tells you an alarm is set vanishes?
I keep seeing mind gone but if I go in and hit save it comes back.
My fear is I miss alarms lol though the few times I test it seemed to still go off but the icon was also showing during those times :/

Sometimes goes away but the alarm stays set.

Haven't noticed that but my wifi icon does.

Yeah...I noticed this yesterday. Made me nervous, but my alarms still went off.

this used to be a problem with cm11 but it hasn't happened to me on the gs5 yet.

Yup. Happens to me too. If I turn it off and back on the icon comes back.

Happens to me...havent been brave enough to not let it ride tho.lol

So I exchanged my phone due to a 3G issue and the new one doesn't do this lol.
FWIW the alarm "seemed" to work on the other one still despite the icon vanish.
Odd new one not doing but not going to complain lol
The replacement phone is actually older by 8k units based by SN even. (original was online order)

I hide my alarm icon with wanam xposed

Alarm not going off

Anyone having issues with recurring alarms not always going off? I have used my cell phone as my recurring weekday work alarm for years, and so far the One-X has failed to go off about 10 times in the month since i got it.
I wonder if this has something to do with the phone going into "deep sleep" mode at night. It certainly is good about not using a bunch of standby battery overnight, but i'd take a little drain to ensure that i'm not late for work.
I think i'm going to try keeping it plugged in all night to see if that fixes the problem, because if i remember right it has been the nights that i leave it sitting unplugged when it doesn't go off.
Thanks!
I've always used alarming app as my alarm and it has had no issues.

I've had that issue. Also the timer app consistently doesn't go off. I blame the multi tasking issue.
It's quite the annoyance, and it wasn't fixed by the official OTA 1.85 update. I'm curious to hear from folk running custom ROMs. That might indicate whether it's a multitasking issue or a "deep sleep" issue.
No problems here, I use 3 different alarms and all work flawlessly. Try deleting and re-creating.
I haven't had any issues, I have my alarm set for every day of the week and it hasn't failed me yet! Double check all your settings/etc. Make sure you didn't make a mistake!

Its not a settings issue. Sometimes they work, sometimes they dont. I have it set to wake me up for work at 5:20 and it failed to go off a couple times so now i have another actual alarm clock to wake me up at 5:19. Ive woken up a couple times to it not going off. It doesn't do it that often, maybe 1 time every two weeks. The timer is what bothers me. It consistently doesn't go off. As soon as I unlock the phone, then the timer goes off, but if it is locked, the timer wont go off.

Yeah, i'm sure the two issues are related (timer and alarm). Are you stock or running a custom ROM? Like to know if the multitasking "fixes" in some of these roms remedies the issue.
I had a similar problem that turned out to be a clock issue. The clock would fall behind when I was on wifi and it went into deep sleep, and when it woke up...it would stay behind...even if I have network settings checked, or unchecked...all the usual stuff was troubleshooted. When the clock catches up to the real time...it skipped the alarm because it jumped ahead 20 minutes or whatever the time that it was behind. I called at&t, and their best advice was restore to factory. My phone hasn't done it since I restored and alarms are now flawless.
Good luck

Yes. I've had this very same issue. Started using Alarm Clock Extreme Free. Works great & u can set it up so you have to solve a math problem to shut it off.

I'm running CleanRom 3.1 SE and this has been happening to me. Last two days in a row I've been late to work, I just flashed CleanRom 3.1 SE over the previous version three days ago.
I am going to upgrade to 3.1.1 tonight with multitask mod v.2 and see if it helps.
Side note: I tried setting the alarm on my g2x instead last night. That horrible phone drained to zero battery from a full charge doing nothing xD. I need to stop using phones as alarm clocks..
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Since I posted this I have switched to Cleanrom 3.1.1 as well. I haven't had the issue again, but I think what has solved it is keeping it plugged in overnight. Can't say for sure if the rom changed the behavior at all. Plugging it in was making it work consistently when it was stock too.
My phone is always plugged in at night. This issue still occurred.

Try deleting the alarm and making a new one. I did that as well.
Updated to 3.1.1 SE via the patch and my alarm went off this morning. I'm claiming it's an issue with the memory mod v1

This is a very scary issue because like most people my alarm is my phone. Have you guys pin pointed a problem yet. Is everyone affected on a cleanrom?

Notification sound after call.

Everytime I end a call my phone makes a notification sound. Any idea what this is for and how do disable it?
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
Go into call settings and there is a prompt that allows you to turn it off on

I turned off the end call notification and still get it.

So I've figured out when the noise happens, but can't figure out how to turn it off. It happens everytime I connect too lte.

Is it a sound or vibrate? I see an option for vibrating

It's a sound and its quite annoying.

117 views and no one else has experienced this. I've come to the conclusion that it has something to do with lte, but can't figure out how to disable. I can't be the only one.

Not sure, I've had two S5's now and neither did this.
It's possible some random setting that carried over for most of us etc.
I know the first S5 when it restored my old phone settings the screen timeout was set for 45 seconds for example, well that's not a valid option so it made the menu look funky lol. The second one it didn't do that as I had changed to 30 seconds before exchanging again.
I imagine something similar, some setting carried over to disable the sound and we just dunno which/where.
I did a lot of traveling yesterday and bounced on and off 3G and 4G and no data many times, no sounds.
Maybe it's the roaming guards too glitching? I do disable those too.
Thought I disabled the roaming guard but will check again. It wouldn't bother me as much if it wasn't so damn loud.
Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk
I feel like an idiot. It was signal check pro. It never did it on my g2 or my tablet, but for some reason it was on by default on my s5.

Google Search arrow over my home button

Persistantly on screen the little up arrow stays over my home button so I can't use it whatsoever. Sometimes if I reboot it will go away for a short time, otherwise it's always there. I thought it may be from gravitybox but I wasn't sure. Any help would be appreciated!!

Are you using any lock screen mods? I had the issue a couple months ago but forgot how I resolved it.
Sent from my Nexus 5
Weird - even the camera icon on the bottom right is what is usually on the lockscreen (not usually in the app drawer). What mods do you have installed?
I have Notification Mod and Gravitybox

I have the exact same problem. Glad I'm not the only one who's going crazy with this thing.
I pretty much have your exact same set-up. I disabled Notification Mod last night to see if that is the problem but that damn little arrow keeps popping back up over the home button.
I have no idea how to fix this either.
Same issue... but no resolution...
Honestly it's been so long I don't remember, but somehow I fixed it! I think I red lashed my rom, removing GravityBox beforehand, and reinstalling it, only enabling things I knew I needed. Haven't had issues since. Weird issue though

Random vibrations?

T-Mobile Galaxy S7 here. There are times when I'm using the phone and it suddenly vibrates, as if receiving a notification. The thing is, there is no notification being received. I've already checked the most probable causes: Notification Reminder in Accessibility and Smart Alert under Advanced Features. Both are off. I'm at a loss and the random vibrations get annoying.
Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk
There has to be certain alerts or adverts coming up from one the apps.. try removing any online shopping apps or any such...
Else give a factory reset as a last resort..

I had the same issue on my OPO, it was driving me nuts. It turned oit some ads on chrome when tapped once makes the phone vibrate, which got triggered evem when i wanted to scroll
I have problem with random vibrations on s7 edge. I think the cause of the problem is google play service. But if i uninstall gps i cant use some apps.
Are any of the S7/Edge's rooted or running custom ROMs?
I am on official samy rom

Try a factory reset, there is no screen burn in on LCDs
i can confirm that this is true while it looks like burn in once you turn the screen off for a while it will disappear its, more of a ghost image. use amoled Burn in fixer form the play store or an all grey image and you'll be able to see it where the status bar is located.
This was really bad on some v10s but I haven't experienced it yet on my v20. It's not permanent like led burn in. It's a ghost image.
On my v10 it showed up when I used an app like my Word text game which kept the same image on the screen for a while. It was also worse/showed up faster the brighter I had the screen.
Glad I haven't seen it on the v20!
You also can't screen capture screen burn as that is hardware, this looks like a software bug. Tho not completely understanding your first post.

i recently got this as well.. Sad that it has happened so quickly for me... Rebooting and shutting down didnt help at all. Nor do I thing factory reseting would either. It showed up before I was going to sleep so I locked it and went to bed. It went away the next morning. It freaked me out and made me think I was going to need to get a replacement but all is good.
Yeah I realized afer I finally woke up that you can't screen cap that lol.
It did it again last night at work. It was Facebook yet again. I played a few YouTube vids and made it go away.
Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk
I haven't had the luck to experience that. But with IPS panels it is bound to disappear at some point. Now, you are only missing to find the way to generate the ghost image once again. IF it only happens with specific apps, or if it happens with everything in general.
So far it only been with Facebook in landscape mode
