Alarm clock going off late (and only after activating the display)
asked 2014-01-04 06:55:43 +0200
Set two alarms last night: 5:40 and 5:45.
5:40 one was working as expected but 5:45 played the alarm sound after I woke the screen up at 5:48. Odd. I wonder if the device was in some sleep/power save mode for too long.
EDIT by tokaru: I have had the same issue today (1.0.7.16), so I am adding some information about my incident here, hope it helps with debugging.
Jolla's alarm always worked reliantly for me and never failed to wake me up at the time it should, but today I literally had to wake the phone up to be alarmed. The alarm was set to 7:00 (the same alarm I am using nearly every day for months) but did not go off this time. I was already awake by that time, so I am sure that I did not turn it off while still being asleep. Not knowing how late it was, I activated the display at ~ 7:11 to check the time, the alarm then started immediately upon my interaction.
Here are some excerpts from journalctl which I believe contain helpful information for the developers (if I can help with more information, pls let me know), note that there is actually not a single log message between 07:00:02 and 07:11:57, omissions are marked with [...].

version 1.0.2.5?
Stskeeps ( 2014-01-04 11:29:17 +0200 )editYes 1.0.2.5.
mcfrisk ( 2014-01-04 13:18:58 +0200 )editI've noticed that if alarm time is set near in the future, like a couple of minutes, it might not work or only play alarm when you turn display on & unlock. Maybe it also has problems with multiple alarms close to each other? I will be testing this, hoping I'll wake up...
hana ( 2014-01-08 19:38:15 +0200 )editsame issue here: setting the alarm in the near future (and switching off the device -in order to experiment a solution for another bug/issue) it simply doesn't work. Using it for morning alarm (<6hours later) it works perfectly on-time.
