EDIT: This doesn't seem to consistently work. My alarm went off 8 minutes late today.

I think i may have found a workaround. It worked for me the past 2 nights.

Turn on "Do Not disturb" Mode. (It is under "sounds and vibration")

Put the start time as whatever you want

Put the end time as 1 minute before your alarm will go off.

My thinking on trying this was that turning off do not disturb "wakes" your phone from the deep sleep that is preventing the alarm from going off.

EDIT: This doesn't seem to consistently work. My alarm went off 8 minutes late today.

Got an update from AVG on the issue

_________________________________

Hello,

We appreciate your patience regarding this issue.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

We are sorry that the AVG Alarm Clock app is not working in Android OS 6.0 (Marshmallow).

We would like to inform you that there is a OS compatibility on our Alarm Clock app and our developers are currently hard at work reviewing the feedback and bug reports for our Alarm Clock app.

We have added your feedback to our development team for further review.

Thank you for your support and for using our products.

Have a great day!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] eggwardo:
Turns out my workaround doesn't consistently work. Alarm went off 8 minutes late today. Sorry for any false hopes. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] eggwardo:
It's weird that they would send that to you. I found a reddit post where the dev was involved. (its for a different phone but the issue is a android 6.0 issue and shouldn't be phone specific) He said the fix is in a new app, alarm clock xtreme+sleep.

I also found that there is a quick way to tell if an alarm app will work. If the alarm icon is on the left of the notification bar it will not work. If it is up next to your network status bar on the right side of the notification bar then it will work. I have not confirmed any of this but it seems legit.

Final note, it seems like, if you're like me and the main reason you don't use a stock alarm is to turn off the alarm notification on the notification bar, then you're screwed. I've tried a few apps that have the icon on the right and i haven't been able to turn the icon off on any of them.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] fidorulz:
I just tried alarm clock xtreme+sleep and it adds the icon to the left.

Ill try it out a few days
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] eggwardo:
It adds it to the left and right. You can turn off the left one, but the right one stays there.

I'm testing it too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] avah:
Same issue here with calendar reminders. Sometimes alerts go off late, sometimes they don't go off at all. This happens with device calendars and Exchange accounts. I'm using Calendar Event Reminder for alerts and I have excluded it from App Power Saving. Also tried setting it's notifications as priority but it didn't help either.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] avah:
Ok, now I got it. Apparently Galaxy S7 has two separate power savers: Samsung's Smart Manager and Google's Doze and App Standby. Smart Manager's settings and list of apps it's managing can be changed from Smart Manager itself but Doze setting must be done via battery usage screen.

Here's how:

Go to Settings and open Battery

Tap Battery usage button

On top right corner tap More and select Optimise battery usage

You get list of apps that have battery optimisation (a.k.a. Doze) disabled.

Switch to all apps view from the drop-down menu and disable battery optimization of apps related to notifications and alerts you want to receive (calendar, alarm clock, etc etc).

Let us know if this helps.

I tried that a couple of weeks ago or so and it didn't work.

---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

I just downloaded the app and set everything up. The alarm icon shows up on my left notification bar and also next to my network status bar. There's 2 icons. Is that what you got?

I'll see if it works tomorrow morning.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] eggwardo:
Yeah, in the settings somewhere you can turn off the left one.

Been meaning to update this. I've been using it for a week and haven't had any issues. And just to clarify, I don't plug my phone in at night.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Wirelessgirl:
Thank you! That's good news. I hope it works for me. I don't charge my phone overnight as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Wirelessgirl:
The Alarm Clock Xtreme+sleep worked for me this morning! I have been using my Note 5 that's still running on Lollipop as my alarm clock. So I had both of them set this morning just in case

the alarm didn't go off on my S7. They both went off and scared the heck out of me! LOL. I'll lower the volume on my S7 just in case it doesn't work. I hope it does. Thanks again for the recommendation.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] nicoco75:
same for me

With classic alarm app

with alarm clock +

with xtreme alarm

the alarm is working if the phone is not in AOD mode for too long time

But if it's on AOD mode for more than 1 or 2 hours, the alarm is not working until I wake up the phone ......
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] avah:
Open settings then tap battery, tap battery usage button, from top right corner tap more, select optimize battery usage, then tap apps not optimized and from drop-down menu tap all apps. Exclude your alarm apps from the optimization by turnign the switch off.

Return back to settings, tap battery, scroll down a little and tap details button. search your alarm apps and chagne their power saving option to disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] nicoco75:
thanks

In fact I already did the second part of your explanation ... but not the 1st part

I will try it tonight

(and by the way, very good explanation you give ... )
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] eggwardo:
Seems like you're having "Other" issues. My wife has been using the stock alarm for weeks and has had no problems with her alarms going off. (she also doesn't plug in her phone)

On those other devices that you have alarms on, are they plugged in when the alarms are going off?

Also, It's "Alarm Clock Extreme +Sleep" that works. Has to have the +sleep

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

This doesn't seem to work for anyone but you. So i'm curious why. What app are you using? Is your phone plugged in when this works? Is it early morning/late night when this works?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] avah:
I'm using some old (ish) apps like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vp.alarmClockPlusV2&hl=en and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.foobarsoft.calendareventreminder&hl=en. Before I tuned the settings I was constantly missing my calendar alerts during the day. I keep my phone plugged in overnight so the first alert on the morning was always on time but the rest were not. Alerts were either late or didn't fire at all.

After reading Google's guide about optimizing apps I understand that manual whitelisting is not a reliable fix. It's more like a shim that tries to provide some backwards compatibility for older apps. The correct way would be rewriting the app to support new API level and request appropriate permissions from Google.

http://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/doze-standby.html

So whitelisting seem to work for me but your mileage may vary.

It worked for me 2 nights in a roll.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] turtuv:
The first time I booted the phone something strange happened: Alarm Clock Extreme doesn't work until I turned on the screen to watch what time was..after that it worked fine without any problems. Very odd thing.

Sended from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jetbruceli:
Well I decided to just use the stock alarm clock. I have used My Alarm Extreme for years but its time to move on. The new alarm clock built in does the same job with less options. I think this is samsungs control over non odexed apps and their permissions
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] turtuv:
I always used Alarm Clock Extreme and I feel fine with it, maybe you can give it a shot [emoji6]

Sended from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jetbruceli:
I meant that one, I have had that for years since Amazon app store started. I have tried with settings to allow it run on top of all apps but I find the stock alarm clock just as effective
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] turtuv:
Double post.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] turtuv:
But worked it fine anyway? I don't understand why the first time I booted the phone it doesn't work until I turned on the screen to watch what time was.

Sended from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] nicoco75:
Not working for me

tried last night
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jetbruceli:
It did work before but maybe its part of the security. Have you tried using it without a lock screen code or pin? Like I said, I just gave up on it. I like the stock clock and its just fine for my use.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] turtuv:
Except for the very first time, i don't have any problem with it right now. Just don't understand why that time it didn't worked until i turned on the screen. Very odd.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] nicoco75:
I did it for my 3rd part alarm (Xtreme) and it didn't work

But last night I did it also for the classic android clock app

And it worked this morning for Xtreme alarm

Maybe both other alarm and classic android clock as to be put in the non optimized area
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Wirelessgirl:
The Xtreme Alarm Clock+sleep worked for me 4 days in a roll. The regular Xtreme Alarm Clock does not work. However with the +sleep app, every time I dismiss the alarm after it wakes me up, the annoying

clock icon always appears on my top left screen. I can't get rid of it. And when I slide down my notifications it says something like "select screen to show alarm" and I can't get rid of that notification. I've had

to reboot my phone every morning to get rid of it. I don't know. For now I'll go back to using my Note 5 to wake me up since it's still running Lollipop.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] c627627:
There is speculation in the Cyanogenmod 13 (Marshmallow) thread that Greenify app may be the cause of this.

Is there any way to put the phone in Deep Sleep and test without waiting overnight?

EDIT: Speculation was incorrect. Greenify uninstalled and still no alarm in the morning.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] turtuv:
I use greenify, but I excluded Alarm Clock Extreme from ibernation. But since the first time, I didn't tried if it works after the night.

Sended from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] eggwardo:
That's weird that were having different experiences with the same app. In the general settings of the app did you turn off all notifications. I turned off alarm, timer, and stopwatch. I also don't use a lock screen, so maybe that has something to do with it.

So for me, it's been a couple weeks I think and I have had no issues with "Alarm clock Xtreme plus sleep".
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Wirelessgirl:
Very weird. Yes I do have all of the above turned off and it still does it. So I decided to uninstall the original Alarm Clock Xtreme and it worked this morning. I'll see if it works tomorrow.

Gosh, this app is driving me nuts, but it's the best Alarm clock app, IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ElenaPower:
I use Greenify and "gentle alarm" as clock. For the normal Calendar reminders I use "Calendar Event Reminder (CER)". Akk of them work fine for me. For all of them I have set the battery saver functions to not work on this apps and it works fine for me.

Maybe you will give this a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] turtuv:
I tried tonight and this morning the alarm (Alarm Clock Extreme) doesn't worked. I tried everything, I disabled power saving option, I disabled the app from battery optimization too. I'm going to try Alarm Clock Extreme +Sleep.

Sended from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] c627627:
It is correct that Alarm Clocks apps specifically designed for Android 6 DO WORK for some of us where others do not.

This one works (for most of us): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sux.alarmclock

Because it is specifically programmed to interrupt the Doze Android 6 feature.

You need something to interrupt Doze for other Alarms to work if they can't work, even after you set battery optimization to "Don't optimize" for them. A specific app needs to interrupt Doze. If I set the special Android 6 Alarm clock app for a certain time, and then if I set up a regular alarm clock to go off EARLIER, they both work, because DOZE is being interrupted by the special Android 6 Alarm clock.

You can also set an app to change your volume settings 1% in the morning, interrupting DOZE:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alfray.timeriffic&hl=en

HUGE pain.

SO conclusion:

Either go back to Android 5.1.1.

...or use Alarm Clocks specifically coded to interrupt Android 6 DOZE.

...and Contact your Alarm Clock app creator and urge them to update the app!

I am the developer of the simple alarm clock which called "Alarm clock for Marshmallow" on google play.

On your previous post i saw you installed it and i understand that you have galaxy S7 so

i wanted to know if it is working fine on your device because it should work without any problem.

Also, if anyone here has galaxy S7 i will be happy if you could let me know how is it working on

your device.

Found this thread through google, because I have the same problem with my OnePlus 3. Thanks to your post I found the cause of my problem: Alarm Clock Xtreme on Amazon App Store hasn't been updated since May 2015, so we never got that Doze-fix. Thought this might be a helpful information for anyone who comes here with the same problem and who is also using the version from Amazon.

Hi,

Sorry, but i'm new here. Could you teach how to change splash screen like you said above? I'm already rooted and now using RR Marshmallow Rom, with helium kernel.

To tell you the truth, i had no idea on how to change / create setting in helium kernel to change splash screen. Appreciate it if you can guide me or point out a link to some guide.

Thanks.
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Iekuta:
Hi,

Sad to say that, the Helium Kernel doesnt supports custom splash screen anymore.
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] n78 shadow:
First, Thank you for your hard work bro .

Does it work on CM13 no kernal installed (I meant does it required something installed in the kernal or it would work on the stock CM kernal )
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Iekuta:
Sorry to say too, it will not work i think.

But i didn't try it yet, i'm on Xperia Performance Ultra ROM [4.3] so i can't test it :(

Hope it will support, hope helium kernel will supports back the splashscreens :angel:

Thanks to you bro :highfive:
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrentLane:
Balls how do I delete this realised wrong forum.

Hi I was wondering if anyone can help or perhaps point me to somewhere that can.

My friend had a sluggish fire TV stick and I told him to factory reset it. I wasn't watching him do it but I walked in as it rebooted. The Fire logo came on the screen and then it went blank.

Now we've tried it on several different TVs with several different power adaptors with no joy. Is there anyway I could connect it to a PC and reset it that way?

I've gone through Amazon's suggestions with no joy.

No, it is no way resetting it this way, What s/w version was he on? Was it rooted?
[Off-topic] MaskedMarauder:
My sister will be going to Singapore with work in the near future and I have asked her to look into buying a Diver's Watch, probably a Citizen.

Are there many fakes that she should aviod? How expensive are watches in Singapore, someone told me that if a watch is 100UKP then it will be 100SGD which is about one sixth of the price. Are the real thing really that much cheaper? I was thinking of buying something like a Citizen MA9034-21E if that helps.
[Off-topic] hanmin:
The last time I check, the S$ and £ is at a 3:1 rate, and such £100 and S$100 is a 1/3 difference. Or you've just went to a bad money changer?

There are certainly fakes goods to be avoided. But the rules of thumb is, if it is too cheap, probably it is fake (NOTE: does not apply the other way round - i.e. if it is expensive, doesn't mean it is not fake).

ANYWAY, since the watch you are looking for has the function, it would be difficult to find a fake to it (i.e. you can't fake a function). Check at the citizen website and look at the instruction manual, and be familiarized with the function (i.e. what happen when what is pressed.. etc).

My advise is, avoid Orchard Road (especially Lucky Plaza) area where thats a main tourist attraction area where you tend to get hammered with high price (usually real goods though). Check the price you get in UK to put a cap on the price you are willing to pay in Singapore.

There is a place, a quiet place off tourist's list, is a nice place that I would recommend, sells lots of Citizen watches. I can't remmeber its name, I think it starts with a B, it is opposite (across the road) SimLim Square (i.e. Singapore largest IT building).

Anyway, check on eBay as well, there are tons of Singapore sellers on eBay sellings watches as well.. compare the price there.

Hello,

First i have to say i really like that Phone looks and feels very nice, changed a bit the ui and rly like it actually but...

The Battery Performance is very poor between a z2 and a S7e,

sure i know better screen bigger/faster cooler but when i see my old z2 can handle 2 (40 to 50 hours) days without charging and i get 400mah bigger battery in a s7e and only get around 20-24h from it thats very poor.

I hope they get something like the Stamina mode from Sony which is learning what you do on your phone to safe more battery, actually the Power saving mode gives me 1 more hour...

this phone is 2 years old now and perform so much better in battery stats thats just unbelievable.

I get about 15 hours if that makes you feel better..lol

whats when i go travelling at arrival the phone is off....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] t12icky0:
That's why I always carry a 10000mah portable battery charger. No bigger then the phone do it's not a big issue to put in my pocket. I went 14 hours 27 minutes yesterday and that was down to 11%. I'm also a very heavy user tho. I stream, Facebook, text, kik, internet, watch movies, etc constantly. So to me that's actually not a bad battery. Came from the s5 and I was only getting 9 hours max on that. So this is fantastic battery life to me.
