It’s not clear if this is what is affecting devices from other OEMs though. This does hint that it could be related to the on-device Do Not Disturb mode and Google Clock not overriding any system settings. While anecdotal, in the original thread on the Pixel subreddit, some have mentioned that when putting their phone face down in “Flip to Shh” mode this appears to be the culprit for missed alarms. Most complaints are from people frustrated that Google Clock alarms are broken and won’t go off, leading to late wake-ups and scorn of employers.

Complaints come from owners of devices from all the biggest OEMs, including OnePlus, Samsung, and Xiaomi. However, the problem doesn’t appear to be limited to just Pixel devices.

The problem also shows any previously scheduled alarms as “missed” shortly after said alarm was pre-programmed to go off (via Android Authority).Īccording to the large volume of negative and 1-star reviews left on the Google Clock app Play Store listing, these broken alarms have been affecting people for a little while already. In the meantime, you can change the alarm sound setting to a selection within Device sound.Ī growing thread over on the /r/GooglePixel subreddit noted that many devices have been skipping their morning alarms or haven’t shown as “upcoming” on their Pixel devices. We’ve identified a fix and will roll it out soon. We’re sorry you’ve been experiencing this issue, and thank you for reporting it.

GOOGLE ALARM CLOCK APP UPDATE
Update 09/06: Google has issued a statement via a thread over on /r/GooglePixel, with the broken Google Clock problem likely a result of Spotify integration. If you are running an older OS build, then we would suggest sticking with an alternate alarm solution until this problem is widely resolved. However, you will need to be running Android 12 Beta 5 to access this substantial upgrade. It’s worth noting that the recent Google Clock 7.0 update doesn’t seem to have as many issues – and none in my own experience since updating. Even though multiple solutions have been offered up, it appears that some are now able to use their Spotify playlist as an alarm tone again without missing a notification.

Update 09/10: While a wholly encompassing solution is not yet available, it appears that the recent Google Clock version 6.4.1 has improved the issues and broken alarms for some people out there, according to various Play Store reviews and even those on Twitter (via Android Police).
