Troubleshooting Alarm Clock

To reset the HoMedics SS-5080 sound machine, you can follow these steps:

Locate the power button: The power button is usually located on the front or side of the device. It may be labeled with the power symbol (a circle with a vertical line in the middle) or simply as "Power" or "On/Off."

Turn off the sound machine: Press and hold the power button until the device turns off completely. This may take a few seconds. The sound machine should no longer be producing any sounds or displaying any lights.

Unplug the power cord: Once the sound machine is turned off, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. This step ensures a complete power reset.

Wait for a few minutes: Leave the sound machine unplugged for about 1-2 minutes. This waiting period allows any residual power to dissipate and helps reset the device's internal settings.

Plug in the power cord: After the waiting period, plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet.

Turn on the sound machine: Press the power button again to turn on the sound machine. The device should start up with the default settings and be ready for use.

Restart Your Phone

By restarting your device, the temporary cache is cleared. This means that any minor changes will be reset to their original state when your phone turns back on. In addition, a restart cycle clears the RAM, which stores the bits of data that you used while your phone was malfunctioning.

This is often the first troubleshooting fix for many smartphone issues, and that's because restarting your smartphone works for most problems. For most people, the Android alarm should work perfectly after a quick restart, but we've got a bunch of other fixes to try if it doesn't.

2. Check Your Alarm Volume and Ringtone

Most modern Android phones come with an independent volume control for alarms. If you mistakenly left the alarm volume silent or at a very low level, you won't hear it ringing despite the alarm actually going off.

To check your alarm's independent volume control, press the volume increase or decrease button on the side of your phone to make the volume slider pop up on your screen.

Accessing your volume controls may be different depending on your Android device. You may see a downward arrow, three horizontal dots, or another unique icon depicting sliders. You should be able to open up a volume drop-down menu, which then displays separate volume sliders for Media, Ringtone, Notifications, System, and sometimes Alarm.

If you don't see an Alarm option here, no worries. On some Android devices, you need to access the Alarm volume slider directly through your phone's Clock app. When you open your device's native Clock app, head to its Alarm screen and look for three horizontal or vertical dots to access volume settings.

If your alarm volume slider seems to be at maximum, there may be an issue with your alarm ringtone. A custom ringtone could be too quiet to wake you up, or it could just not be compatible with your device. Try out one of the default system options for alarm ringtones instead, and test it out with a new alarm.

3. Clear the Clock App's Cache and Storage Data

Clearing the cache for your phone's Clock app can often help. To do this, head to your phone's main settings app and tap on Apps > Clock > Storage > Clear Cache.

Alternately, long-pressing the Clock app icon and selecting App Info-or tapping the lowercase "i" in a circle-also does the trick. From there, you'll just need to select Storage > Clear Cache.

If your Android alarms still aren't working, you can tap Manage Storage to the left of the Clear Cache option, and then select Clear data. As always, the option might be slightly different depending on what phone you're using.

The downside to clearing your Clock app's storage data is that if you erase the data, you'll lose any existing alarms and need to create them again. You can always take a screenshot of your alarms or make a note of them. Then, it only takes a few minutes to create new alarms afterward.

If you're still having issues after clearing the Clock app's cache and storage data, try to force close or force stop the app. Follow the above instructions to get to the Clock's App Info screen, and then select the Force Stop option. Depending on your Android device, this option may read Force Close.

4. Check Your Clock Alerts or Notifications Setting

On some built-in Android Clock apps, there's often a feature within the settings that can be toggled to silence alarms when the system's sound is off. When toggled on, this feature will cause alarms and timers to vibrate instead of making a sound when your phone is set to Mute or Vibrate.

setting to this setting may be a unique process for different Android devices, and it may not be an option on your specific Android phone, depending on which smartphone brand you have or which version of Android you're running.

For a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra running Android 13, as an example, you'd head to your phone's main settings, tap Apps > Clock > Clock Settings, and look at the Alerts section at the top of the screen.

There's a toggle next to an option that reads Silence alarms when system sound is off. Make sure this is toggled off, and hopefully, your alarms will start ringing even if your phone is on mute or vibrate.
