An alarm that fails to ring can cause you to miss important appointments or start your day late. If your Galaxy S25 FE alarm is not going off, the issue could be with settings, permissions, or even battery optimization. Luckily, there are several ways to fix this problem.
Why Your Galaxy S25 FE Alarm Might Not Be Going Off
- Alarm volume is too low or muted.
- Do Not Disturb mode is blocking alarms.
- Clock app does not have proper permissions.
- Battery optimization is preventing the Clock app from running.
- Software glitches or outdated system updates.
Check Alarm Volume and Sound Settings.
The alarm uses its own volume level, separate from ringtones and media. If this is set too low, you may not hear it at all.
- Open Settings, and then tap Sounds and vibration.
- Tap Volume, and then adjust the Alarm slider to a higher level.
Make Sure Do Not Disturb Is Not Blocking Alarms.
Do Not Disturb mode can silence alarms if exceptions are not enabled. Checking this setting ensures alarms ring even when DND is on.
- Open Settings, and then tap Notifications.
- Tap Do Not Disturb, and then check that Alarms are allowed as an exception.
Verify Clock App Permissions.
The Clock app needs permission to send alerts and notifications. Without them, alarms may fail to ring or appear.
- Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
- Tap Clock, and then tap Permissions to make sure Notifications are allowed.
Disable Battery Optimization for the Clock App.
Battery optimization can stop apps from running in the background, including the Clock app. Disabling it ensures alarms trigger correctly.
- Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
- Tap Background usage limits, and then remove the Clock app from sleeping apps.
Clear Cache and Data of the Clock App.
Corrupt temporary files may prevent alarms from functioning. Clearing them refreshes the app without deleting your alarms.
- Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
- Tap Clock, then tap Storage, and finally tap Clear cache and Clear data.
Update Software.
An outdated system may carry bugs that interfere with alarms. Installing updates often fixes these problems.
- Open Settings, and then tap Software update.
- Tap Download and install, and follow the on-screen instructions if an update is available.
If your Galaxy S25 FE alarm is not going off, adjusting these settings usually solves the problem. Most often, it comes down to alarm volume, Do Not Disturb mode, or battery restrictions.

Why does my alarm only vibrate instead of ringing?
This happens if the alarm sound is set to None or the alarm volume is turned down. Check the Clock app alarm settings and sound options.
Can I use Spotify or custom music as my alarm on the Galaxy S25 FE?
Yes. In the Clock app, when setting an alarm, you can select Spotify or choose music files stored on your phone.
Will alarms still ring if my Galaxy S25 FE is turned off?
