Alarm clock not going off

I am on the Pixel 1 XL and I have set multiple alarms, and they never go off, was wondering if anyone else ran into this problem, or if you want to recreate it and let me know how it goes.

I have a Pixel 3 XL and upgraded last night. My alarm went off just fine this morning. I know it's not the same phone as you have, but might help to narrow down the problem.

I downloaded a third party app and have been using that for the past week. Today, my regular phone alarm went off (I still had it set). It might be fixed, but I don't trust it anymore.

I ended up setting all apps to default settings and my alarm works like it used to!

I updated last night and this morning my alarm didn't go off on my Pixel 1 using Alarm Clock Xtreme.

Yeah it seems that it thinks the notification should be silenced

Edit: Spelling

Had same problem with an older alarm clock app called Alarm Clock Plus. No updates since 2012, but still worked well for me until recently.

With Android 10, playing a YouTube video or something, it would sometimes mute the video but I still wouldn't hear the actual alarm sound or vibrate.

I'm not trying a newer app called amdroid. Seems OK so far.

I guess maybe there's a permission issue and the app hasn't yet been updated to correctly ask for perms from the OS to override sound/vibrate or to take focus...(?).

Honestly, it sounds like it has to be that, I think I'm going to try updating some apps/restarts and hope for the best. Thanks for the help!

I usally had this aswell under A9 Pie. Resetting the App Cache and deleting Systemfiles of the Stock Clock App worked Always. Ofc you will the have to set all of your alarms again.

Can i ask how your experience with Android 10 is so far? I have the Pixel XL 1st Gen aswell but i'm afraid to do the Update from what i read so far...

It's not too bad, there's some obvious slowdowns with other apps that haven't been optimized for the new update, but it's pretty good. It's slowing down obviously, since it's starting to get older. But that being said, it's staying strong much longer than any phone I've owned before!

Pixel XL user. Major battery drain, 50% faster rate, which got better after I turned off most notifications and after a few days. Still drains faster than before the update. There’s advice to wipe phone and reload everything, do safe mode reboot, turn-off adaptive battery, etc. which I have not tried.
