If your Tecno Pova Slim 5G alarm isn’t ringing when it should, it can cause you to miss important events or wake-up times. This is a common issue, but the good news is it often comes down to simple settings or app problems that you can fix quickly.
Why Your Tecno Pova Slim 5G Alarm Might Not Be Going Off
- Alarm volume is too low or muted.
- Do Not Disturb mode is enabled.
- Alarm clock app not updated or experiencing glitches.
- Battery saver preventing alarms from running.
- Incorrect alarm time, date, or repeat settings.
Check the Alarm Volume.
Your alarm uses the alarm volume, not the ringtone or media volume. If it’s muted or too low, the alarm may not sound.
- Open Settings, and then tap Sound & vibration.
- Tap Volume, and then adjust the Alarm slider to a higher level.
Turn Off Do Not Disturb.
Do Not Disturb can block alarms if it is not configured to allow them. Make sure your alarms are set as exceptions.
- Open Settings, and then tap Notifications.
- Tap Do Not Disturb, and then check the exceptions to allow alarms.
Review Alarm App Settings.
Sometimes alarms are set incorrectly, or the repeat schedule is disabled. Double-check everything inside the app.
- Open the Clock app, and then tap Alarm.
- Check the time, repeat schedule, and make sure the toggle is switched on.
Disable Battery Saver.
Battery saver can restrict background apps, which may prevent your alarm from ringing.
- Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
- Tap Battery saver, and then toggle it off.
Update or Clear the Clock App.
If the alarm app has bugs, updating it or resetting its data can fix the problem.
- Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
- Tap Clock, and then tap Storage and choose Clear cache.
If clearing cache doesn’t work, go back and tap App details in store, then update the app.
Your Tecno Pova Slim 5G alarms should now work properly after checking these settings. Most of the time it’s a volume or battery restriction issue, but making sure Do Not Disturb and the alarm app itself are set up correctly is also important.
