Mark, it is quite possible that Nikhil and I are talking about different problems. However, the problem my customers are observing will not be verified by your project since you fire alarms every 5 minutes. My users report that if the phone goes into a "deep sleep mode", alarms may not fire. Deep sleep seems to happen if there is no activity for a longer period of time.
No customer could give me a definitive guide to reproduce the problem. But doing the following should give you good chance to make it happen on your device: - turn on airplane mode to cancel much of the background activity - turn off any services, apps running in the background - let the device sit with the screen off for several hours (no alarms during this time) ==> then you may find that an alarm will not wake up the device but only manually turning on the screen will do so. Would be great if you could confirm this since you have some weight in the community. I gave my test subjects a modified app that holds a partial wake lock for the entire night. So far all alarms worked with negligible increase of battery consumption. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
