Update: Nevermind. I figured it out. The recurring alarm somehow got set to 17:30. :lol: So I was right... the one-time alarm (which is all I use) was NOT turned on and no, nothing had been alarming for 2 hours running down the battery. But I never suspected that the stupid recurring function was on. I figure it must've been set by accident when my husband was using my phone the other day. (Or at least that's the only reason I can think of.) :rolleyes2: Feel free to laugh.

Ok, as I've mentioned before, I use my cell phone as an alarm clock. Have had the phone for like 4 years, lol, so I'm quite adept at using it, just to point that out
I've had Butterflies set as my wake-up ringtone the past couple days and I took a nap this afternoon and set the alarm for 15:30 and then had to hit 'snooze' a few times before finally getting up
. I got up around 16:00 and turned the alarm off myself. The maximum time the alarm will keep sounding if you don't shut it off yourself is one hour, you know every few minutes if you keep hitting 'snooze' for up to one hour. So in any case if I hadn't turned it off manually, it would've turned itself off at 16:30. Hope that makes sense.
So I get up and am up doing stuff for a couple of hours. Later I needed to get something from the bedroom. As I approached the bedroom door all of a sudden I hear music kick in... it's my Butterflies clip just starting to play from my phone that's lying on the bed! What the???? I go inside and it shows that the alarm is going off. But it wasn't set! It was actually set to "off" with a default of 15:30! And even if I hadn't turned if off earlier there's no way it would have been still going off at 18:10 because of that max 1 hour alarm time. Plus, the battery was completely charged full. The alarm quickly runs down the old battery, so that's further proof that it hadn't somehow been going off this whole time without us hearing it or it would have been down to like 2/3 or something. I'm like....
I have no explanation for that. So essentially my alarm on my phone went off as I approached my bedroom door, but it's impossible for that to happen because the alarm wasn't even ON and if there'd been some malfunction that made the alarm play over and over for 2 hours we'd probably have heard it and the battery charge would've been worn down quite a bit! It's now almost 19:00 (and now 23:00!!!!!) and... so far no weird random alarms... it was just that one time. Really weird.
