Please help! 

 

I have a galaxy s8 and a few days ago a hidden alarm goes off at 7am every day. I cant see this alarm, it is not in my clock app (I've tried deleting all alarms and clearing the cache too) and I cant seem to find any other app that would have a routine or alarm associated with it.

 

The worst part of this hidden alarm is that I cannot turn the [your preferred explitive]  thing off! I've tried closing all apps, hitting the buttons on the side of the phone, opening and then closing my clock app (which is now completely empty) but nothing works. I have to completely turn off my phone to get it to stop. There is nothing on my phone to indicate I have an alarm about to start or actively going off.

 

I haven't installed any new updates lately and my phone is up to date so I have no clue what triggered this to suddenly start. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you manage to rectify this? I just got an s22 and have the unknown 7am alarm. Just tried to turn off a setting "allow setting alarms and reminders" on clock app so hoping this sorts it

Just go to Settings>Apps>Clock>Storage>Manage Storage>Clear Data

That should solve this issue.

I've just started having the exact same problem with a  Tab 6 Lite tablet. 7:00 am alarm that I never set, waking me up. It's driving me nuts. Hopefully clearing the cache of the clock app worked. Wish I could delete it. Last Samsung I buy!

This just started happening to me after the latest phone update. Annoying. 

Try the clear cache and hope for the best.

Welp, didn't work. 

Saw the Samsung rep suggested booting inbdsfe mode - so have to run the phone in safe mode forever now? Ugh.

Check if you have activated sleep mode on your phone to end at 7 am. Try to disable it and see if that helps?

this has just happened to my devices and now my new tablet is vibrating EVERY FREAKING DAY AT 7AM! There is no alarm on, I am tired of this Samsung needs to send out a update to fix this annoying issue!

SOLVED for me. This was driving me nuts as well. My S20 goes off every 6 a.m. Investigated and it turns out there is this feature called Modes and Routines. Go to Settings > Modes and Routines > Sleep (or other mode set) > Turn on Automatically > Sleep Schedule. Long press the schedule and delete it. You can probably set it for a later time or play around with the sleep settings, but deleting it entirely works.

The fix by Brevity worked for me. Many many thanks! Really surprised Samsung's fix us just run your phone in safe mode.
