Alarm not going off on your Android phone
Alarms are silenced by Do Not Disturb mode, silent settings, or low alarm volume. Check three things: Do Not Disturb status, the side mute switch (Samsung phones), and alarm volume in Settings. One of these is stopping your alarm.
Your phone has multiple ways to silence sounds, and alarms can be affected by them. Do Not Disturb mode blocks alarms, silent switches mute them, and low alarm volume makes them hard to hear. We'll check each setting and make sure alarms are loud enough to wake you.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Confusing the mute switch with a volume rocker — they're different and have different effects
- Setting alarm volume to low thinking that being quiet won't bother other people — your own alarm needs to be loud
- Not realizing Do Not Disturb has a schedule that turns on automatically at bedtime
Signs you need professional help
- All settings are correct but the alarm still doesn't go off
- The alarm goes off but cuts out before you can get to your phone
- Different alarm apps have the same problem
