Alarm is going off without being set

There are ample threads about people setting alarms that don't go off, but this is the reverse problem. The last two days, I've had an alarm go off that wasn't set. In fact, no alarm was set at all. I have no recurring alarms setup on my phone, I just have about 6-7 regular alarms named with the time the alarm is set to trigger and I enable them on demand. Last night, I didn't set one because I have today off so I wanted to sleep in. And boom, at 5:30am, it went off.
anyone ever seen this?

check and see if your alarm clocks aren't set on repeat. Clock - plus sign on the top right - repeat -

QUESTION - Has anyone else recently experienced an iPhone or iPad's alarm going off by itself, without being set by the user?

Has anyone else had his/her phone alarm (on the clock app) go off by itself, without being set, and with a very weird sound?
Happened to me at 11:34 pm last night (Oct 28, 2013). I'm using an iPhone 5 with iOS 6. Sound was named something like "Orari" and sounded like a woo-woo ghostly alarm. I immediately swiped to stop the alarm and then deleted the alarm, which I had NOT set, but which seems to have set itself. The iPhone was plugged into my iMac at the time. There is no such sound on my phone or, it seems, anywhere (I Googled).
The night before, Oct 27, something similar happened to my iPad mini running iOS 6 ... also plugged in to recharge, but at a wall socket ... the sound was like a fire or smoke alarm.
I know it's Halloween week, but some of us need our sleep!
Any explanations?

Hi Littleleslie,
Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen comes up, double tap the Home key and make sure you don't see the Alarm app in the list of background apps. If you do, swipe up on the thumbnail for it to close it out completely.
Then all you can do is wait to see if it will let you sleep through the night!
Good luck!
Cheers,
GB

Alarm not going off in Lumia 520

Recently I updated my Lumia to WP8.1 and a couple of days later I find my alarms not going off at all, or they do so on random days.
It is really a big issue for me cuz I have to wake up early quite often and without an alarm its impossible.
Please do help or suggest an alternative
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If its the Built-in Alarm, I don't think there is any Volume setting for it .. Its independent of the Ringer+Notification as well as Media+Apps Volume. BTW, do you atleast see the Alarm screen displayed when the time is reached ? If yes, did you try selecting any other Tone ?
Try a Soft Reset : Press and hold Power + Volume(down) keys until the phone vibrates (about 8-10 seconds). Phone will reboot. Then check whether it gets resolved ...

My Iphone 5 clock alarm isnt going off when its "on sound", it acts as if its on vibrate and doesnt wake me up. Started with the IOS upgrade. Is there a bug?

My new Iphone 5 clock alarm isnt going off where I can hear it. Its started on my 4S when I upgraded to IOS6 and even on the Itouch too. I set the clock alarm, turn on sound (not silent), the alarm goes off, but no sounds comes out. I have to reset home to get it to recognize its off, but that doesnt always work, it did it on both my Itouch and Iphone5 I almost over slept this morning because never of them went off and woke me up. Acted as it the sound was down (which it wasnt) and it was on silent mode (which it wasnt) Is there a bug with this? I cant trust my phone now to wake me up. Any help? Thanks Tracey

Same problem here. Me and my girlfriend swapped iphone 5's (she has white, I have black) in may and I rely on the alarm every morning to wake me up for work. It hasn't let me down.
A few days ago I set 2 alarms very early in the morning to wake me up for an early morning flight. Neither alarm made a sound & I missed the flight!!
We then swapped our phones back & she has just had exactly the same thing happen & has missed an important meeting at work. Again, quite an early morning alarm. The odd thing is I have a black iphone 5, also latest OS, never had this happen to me...
Has anyone solved this problem. I can't make it repeat (reset the same alarm for a different time & it goes off fine).
Does I need to buy her a dedicated alarm clock!?!

Alarm keeps going off on 3GS

My wifes 3GS's alarm keeps going off constantly. There is no alarm set on the phone but it keeps going off dozens of times a day. She has tried the soft reset with no luck. The constant alarm is killing her battery life. Any ideas?

Have you had a quick look through the forum for all the other posts regarding this, or read the newspaper or watched TV in the last couple of days?
Please do a serch and join one of the other hundreds of posts on the same subject rather than starting a new one.

Hi, I want to have my phone "on ring" so my alarm will go off (have one set every night) but I DON'T want it to ring (just vibrate). It seems like there is no "none" option of Ringer. Anything I can do?

Hi, I want to have my phone "on ring" so my alarm will go off (have one set every night) but I DON'T want it to ring (just vibrate). It seems like there is no "none" option of Ringer. Anything I can do? So basically it seems my options are 1. silence the entire phone therefore also silencing my alarms OR 2. Leaving the ringer on low, putting all other notifications to vibrate, yet the ringer is STILL on. That's annoying!

The alarm will ring even if the switch is on Silent.

HT201401 I set the alarm and it goes off without any sound! What happened? I can't figure it out.

Looks like there might be a little circular door on the back that you screw off to get access to the button battery

Alarm incorrectly going off since Daylight Savings Time

My alarm is always set for 6:30AM Monday through Friday.
Since Daylight Savings last week, my phone has consistently gone off at 5:30AM, and the 6:30 alarm doesn't go off. If I set a later alarm, say for 6:31AM (in addition to the 6:30AM alarm), my phone will go off at 5:30, and then 6:31... disregarding the 6:30 alarm.
I have deleted my alarms and then rebooted the phone, and then added the alarms back in. Unfortunately, my phone keeps going off an hour earlier than it should.
Last night I set an alarm for 6:31AM and deleted the 6:30 alarm, and my phone went off at 5:31, disregarding the 6:31 alarm.
Any ideas on how to fix this, or am I doomed to wake up at 5:30 the rest of my life?

Or you could expect a product that you pay for to work as it's supposed to.
I don't disagree with that.
The iPhone, and ALL smart phones are highly complex devices. There are several hundred different programs all interacting with each other, in addition to the phone operating system.
This software is constantly being changed and updated. Certain versions will be stable with certain applications. Updates can cause bugs (like the clock not working).
I am a pilot. I do not use the navigation programs on the iPhone. I use a FAA certified navigation system, because I need something more reliable.

1661 Alarm Clock Goes Off Randomly

I often use my 1661 as a backup alarm clock. I set the alarm to go off at a given time, with the setting "alarm once" (i.e. no repeat.) My problem is that the alarm clock will go off randomly before the set time. For instance recently I set the alarm for 7:05 AM. The alarm went off at random times overnight, for instance 2:14 AM and 4:52 AM (not the exact times, just an estimate). The clock showed the correct time when it went off. Has anyone else experienced this? It's obviously quite a problem.

At another site, it was suggested to turn off the automatic synchronization.
I am trying it right now.
In the USA, given the extremely poor coverage of the T-Mobile network, it does make sense. Basically, the phone gets confused as to what time it is every time it loses updates from the network. The software says: "Hey, an alarm was set and I do not know what time it is... let me ring just in case... " and there goes your sleep!

Alarm Clock goes off 30 minutes later then expected in IOS 4.2 in Venezuela

The app worked OK under 3.1. This problem appeared in 4.0 but was solved in 4.1. The bug reappered in 4.2. Venezuela is -4:30 GMT. When I set up an alarm at 7:00 AM, it goes off at 7:30. There seems to be a problem with the time setting. I had the correct time in Miami. Then I flew to Caracas (Venezuela) and when the new service provider was recognized, it set the time 30 minutes behind. This was in IOS4 version 4.1 - when the alarm clock was working OK. I had to set the Region parameter in the International Option again to get the right time, even as the time setting is on Automatic Adjust.

Yes, I have tried that, many times. It is frustrating, because after googling about my problem, all I can find is numerous forum threads created by people having exactly the same problem as mine, but with the difference that all of them get their iPads to boot using the 2 button trick.
It does NOT work for me, no matter how I try it (iPad plugged in computer or wall, not plugged in, iTunes open, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, etc).

Alarm not going off?

This morning my alarm never went off. I am positive the alarm was turned on, and set for the correct time, etc... It is set for "everyday" and it went off yesterday morning, and I never disabled it - Why would I, if I'd need it again today). I DID update my iphone software last night, and this is the only possible explanation I can think of. Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do to make sure this doesn't happen again?

I have been getting this issue as well...i downloaded a 3rd party alarm - which works - just need to leave it running in the background - had no issues at all so far

My camera flash goes off without me using the camera?

While using my Galaxy S-4 once in awhile the camera flash goes off while reviewing my emails or during something other than using the camera Has anybody have the same problem over the past month?
pb1945

I haven't seen it reported on the S4, but several S3 users mentioned it after the latest update that phone received. You might try going to Settings > Accessibility > Flash notification ... if the box is checked, uncheck it. If it isn't checked, check it and then uncheck it. I'd suggest then restarting the phone.

Why does the newest FF keep me signed in to websites when I log off despite being set to full time "private browsing"? This is a real problem on a shared computer!

Despite being set to full time "Private" mode, this latest version of FF keeps me logged into things like ebay etc.
This has never happened with previous versions and is a real problem.

My iPhone 5s alarm clock goes off 9 minutes later than the time I set it for

RESET ALL SETTINGS and then try

Alarm Clock, Alarm Never Goes off, Please Test

I can't get any alarms I set to go off. Currently under the Nano's clock I have Los Angeles listed. I set the alarm, and it shows a little bell for the alarm on. Nothing happens, no sound, no music nothing. the time just goes by.
If the nano is off it doesn't turn on, and if it's on nothing happens?
Any suggestions? Normally should the alarmclock work if the nano is off?
Can anyone verify that their nano alarmclock works?
Also can I switch between AM & PM without having to scroll through the entire 24 hours?

Sorry for the apparent simplicity, but how do move to the hour part of the alarm function ? I can change the minutes using the click wheel, but I just can't get to the hour part. Please dont tell me I have to scroll around all the way to the time I want to set the alarm for ?
sorry but yes you do, please report feature request as i do to get separate selection for scrolling hour selection.
