BUG: Default alarm app does not ring

I have a problem with the default Alarm app on my Lumia 525.

The alarm does not ring on the next morning.

I set up the alarm to ring weekdays at 7:20 in the morning.

But after it rung in the morning the live tile of the alarm does not update the time at which it will ring on the next morning, just says 'Alarms'.

So i have to go into the app(the alarm is turned on) and turn off and back on the alarm. Than it shows '7:20' on the live tile instead of 'Alarms'.

And it rings in the morning.

Here are the steps to reproduce the bug:

1. Open default Alarm app.

2. Create new alarm or use one already created.

3. Set the time depending on the current time, if now is 12:00h, set it to 10:15h.

Just keep in mind difference between now and when the alarm should ring on the next day should be less than 2 hours.

4. Set it to ring only once.

5. Save the alarm.

After that if you pinned the app with medium size tile on the start screen you should see that the alarm is not activated.

On the tile in the left bottom corner says 'Alarms', but not the time that you set up.

This is ok.

The alarm should be activated after the difference between current time and that on the alarm is more than 2 hours.

If it is more than 2 hours, the live tile should change and display(in the bottom left corner) the time at which it will ring on the next day.

But the live tile does not update(by some reason), so the alarm wont ring on the next day.

Here are some imgs:





My device is Nokia Lumia 525 with GDR3 and Lumia Black updates, OS ver. 8.0.10517.150.

Does anyone know how to fix the alarm?

Thank you for responding.

Are you sure you set the time for the alarm correct? You should set the alarm

before current time, not after now. If I set alarm after current time there is no problem.



I got my phone with gdr3 preinstalled.

My date and time is correct you can see it on the imgs.

Yes I have set it to ring weekdays, and it rings one day, and does not on the next day.



Thank you.

Hi tchimev,



Thanks for getting back to us!



Good that it works, but still the time should be shown before the Alarm ring for the first time .

So if you will set the alarm to let say 12:00, it is shown as Alarm on the tile, before and after it will ring, yes?

As in my case the time will be shown on the tile, but when the alarm will ring at 12:00, then it will change on tile from the time to Alarm.
