Pixel Users Still Oversleep Due to Clock App Bug
Developing
In Short: Some Google Pixel owners are still missing alarms due to a longstanding bug in the Clock app.
Pixel users are facing ongoing issues with their alarm clocks not going off on time, according to reports from Android Authority.
The problem stems from a bug in the Clock app that has persisted for years, affecting the reliability of alarms on Pixel devices.
One user reported being fired from their job after their Pixel alarm failed to go off, highlighting the serious consequences of missing an alarm.
The issue appears to be related to the phone overheating, which can prevent the alarm from sounding as intended.
Android Authority reached out to Google for comment but has not yet received a response.
This ongoing issue continues to affect Pixel users, despite the long-standing nature of the problem.
What's still developing
- Meanwhile, we’ve spotted other reports of alarms failing to wake Pixel users up.
- The reason, however, was less mysterious — rather not mysterious at all; their Pixel got too hot for the alarm to go off.
- We’ve reached out to Google to ask whether its teams are aware of the alarm bug still spooking Pixel users, and we’ll share what they say when we get a response.
