Sounds like there are extraneous screen taps for some reason, rather than a problem with alarm apps. It happened on my N4 a few times, and the time switching to 24h happened often when I disabled the screen lock and random screen taps occurred while in my pocket.

Have you noticed any slow downs? Maybe something wet on the screen (drool?!)

for those that have helped and those that are curious I guess this can be a common symptom when using a wall charger. freaking weird....but I kept it off the wall charger and all is good...

I finally isolated the problem and it turns out that a wall charger can cause issues like this. I have charged it up and left it off charge and not one issue.

I hope this helps at least one person because it has driven me crazy.... Now if I can only solve why the Google newstand is severly broke on my N10..


Thanks
