Help I have an Alarm I can't delete

[swanlee]

So got an odd one here there is an alarm that goes off at 6AM that I cannot find or remove. If I delete all alarms it will still go off. If I create a new alarm for a different time the 6am alarm will still go off along with the new alarm at the different time. Seems their is an invisible alarm for 6am that I cannot find to turn off.

any idea's as to where another place an alarm would be setup?

Could it be something in your calendar, a reminder going off at 6AM?

Thanks for the reply but it's not a calendar entry, definitely a manual alarm I set before that now goes off even if their are no alarms set or I set an alarm for a different time. It's a bug of some type but I'd like to get rid of it.

Hi

Got the same issue and no solution.
Win 10 mobile is starting to annoy me very much.

I wonder if that's where *my* 6 AM alarm went to.

Seriously, and sorry to interject a different issue in your thread, I have discovered why my morning alarm periodically won't wake me up: somehow amid the various OS updates my alarm moves itself from Sound=Default to Sound=VibrateOnly.

Are you seeing the "Dismiss/Snooze" dialog whenever the ghost alarm occurs? I wonder if it might make any difference in how you respond to the alarm. If you usually dismiss the ghost alarm maybe try to snooze it next time, and then immediately look at the alarm list to see it it might appear? I see there's another option, to just press the top alarm header, which takes you right away to the alarm list.

I had this issue as well. I tried deleting my alarm through Cortana and I guess it never deleted. I had to factory restart to fix it but the day after I did so I think that the alarm app had an update that I recall wishing I had waited for. Anyhow, just throwing out my experience with the same issue.

Interesting. I wonder if the OP were to ask Cortana to "List my alarms" if that might help show the ghost alarm?

The last fast ring update seemed to fix this

Weird the issue came back.

Seems after an OS update it is fine and then if I ever change the time of my usual alarm and then change the alarm back it keeps a ghost alarm that goes off on the time I previously changed it to.

Maybe do a factory reload with the Windows device recovery tool?

So after yesterdays ATT firmware and new fast ring OS build this did not happen this morning. I'll keep an eye on it. It is annoying but not worth wiping my phone over.

Same here it happened between the update fm Win8 to 10. Hope somebaody finds a solution to this problem since I don't wipe y phone for this. Just realized that Alarm goes off twice same time. One is visible the other not.

That double-alarm problem had happened to me a while ago, and I assumed it was just a glitch in the software where it didn't really receive the 'stop' command rather than there being two alarms. It was an occasional problem and seemed to have gone away by itself. Maybe just delete the one alarm, reboot, and rebuild a new alarm to a minute off the old alarm, and see if that clears it?

I had the same issue, but is somehow cleared itself a week or so ago. Was really annoying getting my daily 5:15am alarm when I was actually able to sleep in

Same thing here. My ghost alarm goes off from Monday to Friday just like it was set. Tried to snooze but it comes back. So many bugs on my Lumia 950 I'm starting to think I was happier with my 920. I don't want to go back to an iPhone... please stop forcing me Microsoft...please no.... :O

Just yesterday, I was trying set an alarm via cortana. It seemed to crash.

Goto alarm app manually, and all my alarms are gone!

This morning, alarms, seemingly on my old schedule going off.

Can't uninstall the alarm app eh?

I'm on .318
