Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello everyone and I'm sorry to hear that all of you are experiencing this behaviour with your Xperia XZ devices.
You might experience that your recurring alarm sometimes does not ring. This is a known behaviour that will be corrected in a later software release.
Note! Software updates are released at different times depending on the operator, market, region or country. Therefore, we cannot give you an exact date for when a specific update will be available for your device. In addition, network operators and specific markets may choose not to use the updates for specific models.
Until the new software is available, try one the following workarounds:
Disable your recurring alarm and enable it again every time you want to set the alarm, for instance, every night.
Set a couple of alarms with some minutes in between, for instance, 7:00 AM and 7:05 AM.
Affected software: 41.3.A.2.58 or earlier on Android 8

My alarm does not work if the phone is charging
Already did, it's the same
I have the same problem with my X Performance. I have an alarm clock set for all working days but it fired only on Tuesday and Wednesday but not on Monday or Thursday. This is a basic functionality. It should simply work as expected all the time!
It seems we could combine our phones. My alarm didn't worked on Wednesday and Friday. Shame on you Sony.
I have the same problem after updating to Oreo. It looks like if I "wake the phone up" before the alarm should go off, it works. But otherwize it just does nothing. And of cource is happens intermittently.
Has anyone herd anything from Sony guys on that matter?
As workaround for me its only use another clock app (default Google Clock app from Google play for example)
And add this app to the android battery saver (stamina) exceptions
For me it failed once even just a few minutes after I woke my phone up to check time. And today I realised the same happens with calendar reminders. I received a reminder for an event already after it was over instead of ten minutes ahead of time like programmed.
