If there is any update available for your Galaxy S22 device, it will get downloaded and you can install it. Make sure your device has enough battery to perform the update.

Clear Your Galaxy S22’s Cache

If none of the above solutions worked, then chances are higher that there is a system caching issue on your Galaxy S22 which prevents the alarm from sounding. To fix this, you have to delete the system cache in your S22.

Note: This process won’t delete any of your personal data.

  1. Turn off your S22 device.
  2. Press and hold the Volume Up (+) and Power Button at the same time. Then the recovery mode will appear.
  3. Once the recovery mode shows up, use the volume buttons to select the Wipe cache partition option and then press the power button.
