Alarm on V10

So my question is......
The stock alarm seems to be not reliable. A few times I have woke up to it not going off, when it should have been. Another time it didn't go off until I pick up the phone and turned on the screen. Sometimes I swear it's worked for a while, but eventually goes off on its own. Like the systems process turns it off if I don't hit snooze or dismiss soon enough. And than it turns back on a few minutes later.

Is anyone experiencing any of the above?

I currently have to use my other phone just for alarms until I get this glitch under control. Which I'd like to.

Our is this just an Android thing with the alarm being treated like any other app? And eventually system process kills the alarm app?
 
I can't say I have had any issues with the alarm & I use it daily.
Have you tried d/l an alarm app from the Google Play Store for comparison?
 
No I haven't tried a different alarm app.
The one time the phone didn't alarm until I turn on the screen was because it was pulling the audio from Zedge. Which I fixed that buy moving the audio to the phone it's self. But I've still had the other issues since than, and my back up alarm is anyways screaming when sometimes the V10 isn't even going off.

Maybe I'll try setting it across the room for a few nights and see if it's consistently working.

Any suggestions on third party alarm apps would be great.

Thanks in advance.
 
This screen shot is what my alarm had for me this morning. I don't know if it ever alarmed or not.
