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

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 ...

  • 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

  • Why are my alarms for my ical not going off

    I have alarms set to go off for several ical events.  I have tried many files to be the alarm form my itunes, but im not sure why they are not working, and my daily alarm clock is not going off.  I have tried several different times also

    I just spoke to a representitive from Apple and after researching the issue with a supervisor, I learned that once you activate iTunes Match, you lose the ability to have your songs go into a "Purchased" playlist/folder automatically on your phone. They still go to a "Purchased" folder on your computer, however on the phone, they go into the general library after you buy them. You have to individually search for the songs afterwards and add them to a playlist of your choice for easy access later. The rep was uncertain if this was something that would be fixed in the future. I hope they do fix it.

  • Reminders are not going off in my Calendar app

    Hi,
    The reminders I set in the Calendar app are not going off/alarming. I'm currently using Gmail as my default calendar, and it doesn't alarm when a reminder is due.
    I've already fixed the date-time settings of my gmail calendar to match my blackberry, and I still miss reminders because they don't alarm.
    Whenever I restart my q10, the reminders apprently go off/alarm, but as the day goes on, my reminders no longer alarm. does anyone else have the same problem? Any advice? Thanks.

    Hello santi51, 
    Welcome to the forums.

  • 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?

  • My iPhone alarm is not going off.

    Ok, so... Several mornings in a row my iPhone alarm has behaved very strangely. If I set it for 7:30, with the "crickets" sound, both occasions I've woken up at 8:00, a half hour late. When I wake up, there are no crickets sounding. Strangely, when I look at my phone there is the interface on the screen that offers to allow me to "Snooze". That, to me, indicates that the alarm has triggered. I just don't get the sound.
    I've used the crickets sound for at least a year now. My traditional experience has been that when the crickets start chirping, the generally chirp forever until I tell them to stop. I've even come home to them chirping because I forgot an alarm I set. So... what's up?
    Also, no... the headphones are not it. And, the silent toggle is not on (not that it should matter - the alarm goes off even with silent on).

    Also I should mention that Apple said it is a hardware issue, but a software issue.

  • 5th generation iPod Touch speaker is not working with music and apps, but the alarm sound goes off fine. Why?

    I have a 5th generation iPod Touch and it got a small amount of water in it around the speaker. When I tried to see if my music would play through it, it couldn't. But, when I tried my alarm to make sure I could still hear it, you could. The sound was fine from the alarm, not as loud as it used to be but I could still hear it. Why doesn't the sound work with my music and apps? Also, would I be able to exchange it if I have a warranty?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • 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!

  • Can not turn on Nokia Lumia 520 after Microsoft up...

    Hi, I've got Nokia Lumia 520 with Windows Phone 8
    before yesterday Microsoft update appeared on display and wanted me to instal. So I clicked on "instal" button and after that there was "restarting..." on the display for a while and phone went off. Since that I can't turn on my phone. I tried keep it on charger for a long time, I tried take off battery for a long time, I tried to hold all buttons combinations, but my phone is still dead. Do you have some advises or there is only one option to send that to Nokia for service?
    Thank you for answers

    First try rebooting by ressing and holding the vol down + power button for around 10 seconds. If it works, the phone should vibrate and restart. If this does not work you could try hard resetting, instructions as per link below. Faiuling that, you will need to get it to your local Nokia Care Point.

  • 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.

  • 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).
