Android alarm clock does not work - this may be the reason
If your Android alarm clock doesn't work, oversleeping is inevitable. Below we present some common problems and show you what you can do about them.
Tip 1: Check the alarm clock settings on Android
First of all, you should check whether the alarm clock settings are correct on Android. To do this, proceed as follows:
- Check whether you have selected the correct days, for example if it is a regular alarm clock. Also check whether there is a check mark behind the corresponding wake-up time. If necessary, reset it and check whether you are shown the time until the next wake-up appointment. See if the time specified is correct.
- In the alarm clock settings, you can specify that your cell phone alarm clock does not ring on Android when the smartphone is in silent mode. Make sure that you have made the correct setting here.
- In addition, the volume can also be determined in the settings of your Android alarm clock. Check whether the volume may not be too low so that you may not be able to hear it during sleep.
Tip 2: Check the settings of your smartphone
In addition to the alarm clock configuration, you should also check other settings on your smartphone. We show you what you should pay particular attention to.
- Make sure you have selected the correct time zone. In this context, also check whether the time is correct and matches your other watches. You can check the current time at Zeitzonen.de.
- It is also important that your smartphone is switched on overnight so that it can wake you up. However, if you don't want to be disturbed at night, you can set the alarm to ring despite silent mode, or you can simply switch to flight mode.
- For this reason, your smartphone should always have enough battery so that it does not switch itself off.
Tip 3: Reset your Android phone to factory settings
If you have checked everything and could not determine why your Android alarm clock is not working, the software could also have an error.
- Therefore, reset your Android phone to the factory settings. However, remember to save all relevant data in advance.
- If the cell phone is still under warranty, you can also contact the manufacturer.
If you can't get your Android alarm clock up and running, you can also use an alarm clock app. In another practical tip, we will introduce you to the best alarm clock apps for Android.
