Issues with alarm

Hi, I have issues with the alarm settings on Android that made it frustrating to use.

- Even when select "Include Grouped Rooms", the music does not play on all speakers (sometimes only the one selected, sometimes 2 out of 3).

- When leaving the Alarm menu with the "X" button, the alert message "Your changes have not been saved" is displayed even when no changes were made. It makes it an extra step when just checking the current parameters of the alarm without applying any change.

- On the other hand, when leaving the alarm by sliding down, the alert message is never displayed making it confusing if the changes were saved or not.

Thanks!

Hi ​@Blakoyster, welcome to the Sonos Community!

I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been having issues with Alarms on your system.

I currently only have two speakers active in my system, but a few tests had both speakers always playing when the alarm goes off. If they aren’t always playing together, even while grouped, the most general cause of this would be some sort of wireless interference. I would recommend submitting a diagnostics after an alarm triggers but doesn’t play to the group and then contact our support team for further assistance. They have the necessary tools available to look into your system and see why the alarm didn’t play to the other speakers.

When you’re making an alarm or changing settings, hitting the “X” or “<” buttons at the top of the screen will trigger the “Are you sure you want to leave?” pop-up. This also shows if you hit the “<” button at the bottom of the device, or at least it does for my Samsung S25. Swiping down doesn’t show the pop-up as it will never saves any changes according to my testing. 

I do agree that there’s no point in showing the message if you haven’t made any changes. Since the save button only becomes usable when a change is made, maybe it’s possible for the message to show only if that button is usable. I’d be happy to forward this as feedback to the team for their consideration. Otherwise, I would suggest swiping down out of the alarm page if you’re just looking.
