Bixby Briefing Alarm Not Working - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Strangely, the first time I used the briefing it worked fine but since then it won't work anymore, the alarm just plays music and that's it. I've checked that clock and Bixby are both on on the most recent version, have deleted all alarms and created new ones but none of this seems to make a difference.
Has anyone else encountered this and managed to fix it?

Yep same issue here. Tried making a new alarm but that did not work either. Only way (that I could find) to get bixby to "brief" again is to reboot the phone. After that it works once, only once. Even after snoozing the alarm, on the second time it wont talk... and never again until the device is restarted.

Not to state the obvious, but have you checked Settings > Sounds & Notifications to ensure that notifications isn't unticked?
I am using SPB phone suite which has profiles.
I checked notifications is ticked.
Is it just that the notification tone isn't playing?
There was a bug with some of Dutty's roms that if your notification tone wasn't set to the default one, it wouldn't sound at all.
Yes no notification alarm or pop up.
So I have an appointment for 10 am and I put a 30 min reminder. I will get no reminder, the profile will switch to meeting mode automatically but no popup reminder or sound notification.
Im using the stock ROM.
Some one please help.
I had the same problem few months ago but after about a week time it started to work again itself. I don't know why it didn't work. Since then the problem didn't appear any more.
I suspected S2U2 but I don't know if it was the reason.

I have not made any changes except uninstalling SPB imageer.

Not sure what culprit is, but you could backup your contacts/emails etc, do a hard reset and see if problem still exists on bare rom. If it doesn't, install one software at a time, test if it works, then proceed with next app until you find possible culprit
I noticed that changing the patterns in calendar from "occur once" to any more complicated, like "from Tuesday to Friday" i.e. might be responsible for the problem. Few months ago I started to create more advanced remainders in calendar and after couple days it stopped remind me of any event.
I didn't notice where the problem was, because the problem didn't appear instantly but after 2-3 days.
Few days ago I tried to edit patterns and two days later the problem came back again.
Could someone investigate this issue on his own HTC to confirm the source of the problem, please.
Is there any update for calendar?
PS. Sorry for my poor English.

Well after 2 days it went back to working by it self.
Its working fine now.
I do have 1 complex reminder. Basically it says remind me every 24th of the month for the coming 3 years
But thats still working normally.
It stopped again. I have not modified anything.
I had that problem too. The free app pmClean fixed it for me:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-pmclean-v1-06.html
You can set it to automatically repair the Notification Queue every day, which seems to fix the problem with reminders not triggering
alltruism,
I have Memmaid and used to find duplicates/dangling/expired/invalid and it found nothing.
Ill try the app you mentioned and hopfully it fixes it.
Ok in downloaded and installed PMclean v1.07 and i cleaned notifications. The first time I had like 27 and then after the cleaning it said 42. Then further cleaning just locked it at 42. Arent the numbers supposed to come down?
Anyway, I restarted and then tested. It worked, I tested again and it worked.
Wow thanks a lot Alltruism,but how come my Memmaid could not pick up on those Notification Que anomalies?

Alarm not working correctly

Morning
I have set up the alarm on the sence home screen and set my tone to the alarm to but, When the alarm goes off it is not the tone i set and this will not wake me up. Is there a bug with the alarm has anyone else had this problem???????????????????
I used my alarm for a week straight while traveling - after having changed to a different alarm tone (alarm 5 - the default in my previous devices) - and it worked flawlessly. Not sure if we're doing anything different. Mine is the stock UK ROM from HTC direct.
My alarm has just plain and simple failed to go off 3 days running now. Worked fine Mon & Tues. Nothing since. Also having the unlock code being rejected - even though it's correct - on the same mornin
I too have had this problem but solved it this morning. I had a custom taskbar icon set installed. It messed with the volume screen, and was also causing my alarm to not sound. I uninstalled the icons (tsowen taskbar) and now my alarms are sounding again!
EDIT: I have just reinstalled the taskbar icons, and remembered that I forgot to install SDKCERTS.cab last time. Having installed both that, and the taskbar now, the alarms seem to be sounding alright. Will let you know if anything changes again.
My HD2 is still stock. Rather annoyed with the issues actually. Such an expensive phone should've been better QA'd
It seems to set off my reminders tone and my alarm tone at the same time. But it does play the sound I selected just with the other tone mixed in...
HD2 built in Alarm not working correctly
I have the same problem on my HD2. The Reminder sound starts just before the Alarm sound starts. It was not working that way on the HD : Alarm and Reminder were fully separate. I saw my issue on other forums, but no answer so far.
Of course other alarm software do solve the matter, but, beleive it or not, I am happy with the built in alarm, and I do not like unsolved issues.
I have searched the register many ways, but could not find any tuning. Is it a tuning or a bug ? Any idea from skilled developpers ?
It has worked perfectly for me, 100% of the time since early November, and I use the alarm daily.
I suggest you hard reset and try it without installing any 3rd party apps. If it does not work, detail every step you took to check it as you may have done something wrong.
HD2 Alarm not working correctly
Many thanks johncmolyneux for your wise advice. I have just tried it : real hard reset (+&- buttons then + then reboot). After reboot I cancelled all buttons asking for customisation. As soon as I got control, I defined a clock alarm, and... the Reminder (Alert-Soft) ringged just before the Alarm (Alarm-light).
So this problem really exists. I have had it with the stock ROM. And I still have it with the latest official ROM from HTC site "_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_FRA_1.48.406.1_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe".
From what you tell me (working OK on yours), it could be either a bug on all french ROM, or a hardware bug (would be rather strange).
Again, can solve by disabling All reminders, but then of course reminders will not sound.
Any idea from skilled developpers, a register entry, a cfg, an ini file ?

Yeah...same bug too. First the reminder tone plays....then right after that, the custom alarm tone plays together..it's like a remix of the 2 tones.
This bug was also present in the cooked ROMs for HTC HD and it was solved using higher builds, starting with 21875.
Try G-Alarm
Hi,
I had the exact same problem with my HD2 running 1.48 with a minimum of applications installed and it was so annoying. I downloaded the program G-Alarm and it seems to work perfectly. I also applied the small hack, so you can access G-Alarm (or one of the others) directly from the home screen. The hack is described on Pocketnow.com.
Best regards,
Jacob
I have problems with the 'stock' alarm too, I use G-alarm at the moment, but it kills my battery overnight, well compromises I guess?? :S
i have problem with alarm too on stock rom 1.48
reminder sounds before alarm
alarm plays for hardly 5 sec ( 10 sec with alarm snooze sound file )
if not dismissed only repeats itself for 5 seconds after 15 sec of initial play back
well problem is alarm duration is too short the alarm sound should continue to play unless interrupted at least for 1 min .
secondly the alarm should auto repeat itself after minute or two if not interrupted.....
g alarm is not a solution actually
g alarm is nice application indeed but i feel its buggy on my phone and a bit unstable .......

Also same problem with ASIAN WWE stock ROM. The alarm rings one time and then dies. The instant solution is to set long music as alarm.
Bah, the best solution is to install Klaxon or G-Alarm... I really can't understand why a so basic feature can't work as expected !
have all of you reported it to HTC ?
we all should pressurize HTC for solution of Bugs they have sold to us....
its their crap .......
so it should not be headache for us....!!!!!!
to talk about bugs in forums is not a good idea any way
we should bombard their service support with mails & calls and so that all bugs are reported well and official solution comes ...........
official update is always good rather then our individual efforts ....
it would save time for developing roms and new features rather then solving HTC Bugs ......
so every one agree?
i've already reported officially to the HD2 support page. They replied to look into the issue.
My HD2 is running on 1.48 (WWE) ROM. At first I had set the alarm from Mon-Fri at 7 am. It works well.
However, the alarm still goes off EVENTHOUGH I had switch off the alarm function.
Any ideas why this happens ?
I'm on stock o2 rom (1.43) and unfortunately have the same problem. First, reminder sound before alarm, then it rings only twice. ... quite annoying I must say...

Alarm Doesn't Work!

Using Enom's or Cy's ROM...(with the Nextheme and Goodies)...the alarm doesn't go off at 530am!
Anybody know if it's the ROM itself or the Theme+Goodies? Or do I need to experiment myself? (I've experimented with setting the alarm to go off an hour after I set it....it worked...but not sure if it worked because I was playing with the phone at the time)
All I get when I wake up is the trackball blinking. I've read somewhere that the alarm turns itself off after an hour...but I wake up around 5 minutes after the alarm was supposed to have gone on.
Good thing I used a backup alarm...otherwise I'd be in deep Sh------------it!
My alarm didn't go off today, but did yesterday. I have the clock as ignore in my task killer.
What I have found is that my ringtones somehow get lost on the SD card and not played. I am not sure what is happening!!!
Not cool though.

If you use any sort of task killing application and do not ignore or exclude the clock, it will kill it, and your alarm along with it.
Problem is that I ignore the Clock.
But when I go to check the Alarm Ringtone, and press play, it doesn't play anything, just a VERY LOW beep. Worked yesterday, nothing today.
Very odd!!

I like to push the audio files to the system and into it's corresponding folder. Maybe you can try that.
For me...I totally forgot about task manager! I never thought of it because the Alarm Icon is always displayed on the notification bar next to the time...whether the clock is killed or not. I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning after I exclude the clock app from being killed.
Kind of makes me wish the Android 'stole' some stuff from the Blackberry.
Can you explain that a bit more? How would I do that?
Will Astro work?
I honestly think it is an SD issue and yes, I never had that problem with my blackberry. They keep the ringtones on the system memory and you never have to worry about it.

I'm guessing that it will only work with a rooted phone. (Mine is) This is what I use. Root Explorer. I take the files from the SD card and move it into the system/media/audio/alarms directory.
Not sure if Astro is able to access the root of the phone. Otherwise I guess you can use
adb push alarmfilename.mp3 /system/media/audio/alarms
Either way you do it...reboot the phone.
Got it, and done, thanks.
Will see if this works.

[Q] Widgets freezing

Hi,
I have a Problem with my Note 3 that I already had on my Note 2, but hoped that the new device and Android 4.3 would solve the Problem for me, but the Problem is still there.
It is a Problem with everything that is a widget (clock-widget, battery widget etc.).
Widgets are freezing at irreular times, so no one could predict if and when it would hapen the next time, but when the widget(s) are frozen, they Show incorrect values for time and battery-status.
The funny Thing is, that when I rotate my homescreen(s) using "Ultimate Rotation Control" from Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate
then the widgets update themselves to the correct values,, but still don't continue to run, i.e. they are still frozen.
Now, I don't ask anybody to tell me what could cause the widgets to freeze, but I would be interested if someone knows a tool with which one could find out what Triggers that freeze (I know the exact time at which it happens, since one of the widgets that freeze is a digital clock with seconds-display).
Would be great if someone could help!
Many thanks in advance!

Alarm Bug

I recently discovered a bug and can't figure out what's causing it or if it's just a bug in LG's Android. Let me know if this happens to anyone else.
1)Add new alarm
2)In alarm scroll down and increase alarm volume
3)Save and back out of alarms
4)Go back into alarms and go to the new alarm you just set
5)Scroll down and you see that alarm volume is set to the lowest possible.
This is a pretty bad bug, because if you change something about that alarm and you save it not paying attention to the volume then you're essentially muting that alarm. I was late to work yesterday because both my alarms rang and were silent.
I had thought that this might be related to xposed framework, but after uninstalling it all to check the bug showed up.
Does anyone else get this or is it just me and I need to look for something specific causing it?
This bug is not present on my stock D802, the alarm retains it's volume level correctly.
Can you provide your Model/Build information? It could be present on only specific devices.

I have the Verizon version of the LG G2. VS980. Also forgot to mention that I run CleanROM.

I've not been able to find anyone else complaining of an Alarm bug so I'm guessing this is an isolated case, perhaps ROM related.
You could try backing everything up and then reflashing/flashing a different ROM and see if that fixes it.
That's about all I can suggest I'm afraid, it may be difficult to isolate the problem in the logs and find the exact cause.
