androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-23 16:00:21

Stephen Schenck / Android Authority TL;DR Google Clock 8.2 appears to fix some of the rendering issues users saw with the app’s Expressive redesign. Google’s working on a slightly tweaked workflow for alarm creation, making date options more prominent. Alarms that fail to go off as scheduled should start displaying a slightly more helpful error notification. Sometimes, it’s the simplest things in the world that end up causing our most unexpected headaches. Google’s Clock app is about as stra

techcrunch.com Lauren Forristal 2025-09-26 20:00:59

A new iOS app called Awake, designed specifically for heavy sleepers who must complete missions to turn off their alarms, launched Monday. The app is only available to users with the iOS 26 update, which also came out on Monday. Unlike traditional alarm clocks that can be silenced with a simple tap, Awake is intended to actively engage users’ brains to ensure they fully wake up. Once the alarm sounds, users must complete a series of interactive missions to turn it off. These tasks include a va

Is your iPhone alarm not going off? 6 potential fixes that worked for me

zdnet.com Elyse Betters Picaro 2025-11-23 06:28:00

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I started noticing something very annoying at the beginning of the year: I'd set my iPhone alarm for 7 a.m., only to sleep right through it. At first I assumed it was my mistake -- maybe I'd accidentally left the ringer volume all the way down. But after double-checking that, even switching off vibrate and cranking the volume all the way up overnight, the problem persisted.

Objects should shut up

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-08 16:33:49

I have a small car, and it has a dual-tank: gas and LPG, which is a great way to reduce my car-related budget, as LPG is way cheaper. Unfortunately, when the tank is starting to get depleted, the car will emit strident and loud beeps to notify me about it. And every single time time, it startles me like Hell, which isn't something I appreciate very much, especially when I'm steering a 1 ton metal box to overtake a trailer at 130km/h on the highway.

Poll: Does your Pixel phone also miss alarms?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-28 21:35:14

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Pixel phone users are experiencing a recurring bug in which their alarms fail to go off for an “unknown reason.” This alarm bug has been reported on Pixel phones since at least 2021, and Google has reportedly been unable to replicate or fix it. As a workaround, users can use alternative alarm apps, or even physical alarm clocks. Over the weekend, frustrated users took to Reddit to complain about their Pixel phones’ missing alarms.

Google Home’s latest bug: Setting an alarm for this time is nearly impossible

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-17 07:50:45

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A recent Google Home bug prevents smart speakers and displays from setting alarms for 12:30am. Google Assistant-equipped Home devices like the Nest Hub and the Nest Audio recognize standard alarm command phrasing, like “Okay Google, set an alarm for twelve thirty am,” but they set the alarm for 12:30 p.m. instead. Saying “zero zero thirty” aloud appears to be the only working time input for setting an alarm for 12.30am. Google Home is no stranger to more
