What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? [solved]
What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? [solved]
It only appears occasionally. I have no alarms set, no timers, stopwatch etc. running.
Android phone. Searching got no joy.
Update: it was a scheduled message in signal. Didn't want to send my bestie memes too late at night. It does use the actual alarm icon though, weirdly.
Thanks everyone for your help!
You're viewing a single thread.
Alarm is set
I know you say you don't but you must have for the icon to appear
Check your alarms and the days of the week they are set to
Thanks, but no. I double checked.
Could be a calendar appt
Nice idea. I checked and (unusually) I've nothing in calendar for today. Everything coming up after that is normal looking but the nearest thing is tomorrow afternoon.
Edit: I'm gonna reboot and see if it's still there. Maybe it's a bug in the alarm app. Brb.
Edit 2: stupid thing is back again. :/ I rechecked alarms after the reboot in case there was some weird bug where one wasn't showing and there are still none set.
You could maybe try clearing the cache of the clock app? Long shot, but you never know.
Or start the phone in safe mode, and see if it's there. If not, then try opening one app at a time to see if it appears.
Great idea. Off to do that and hard kill the app. Will report back.
Edit: cleared cache and data and forced stop. No joy :(
Ugh. Glad to see you found the answer in the end though 😁👍
Any reminders set in any reminders/task type apps? My phone sometimes picks up those as alarms.
Do you use tasker or any automation app? Anything time based will trigger the clock.
Ah I eventually discovered that it was a scheduled signal message. Cheers though.
