So, after further discussion in #ubuntu-touch, it looks like the seen- but-not-heard issue that popey's encountering, and the showing-up-late issue that davmor2 is seeing, are not related to phone nor screen wakeup issues.
Dave fleshed out the showing-up-late issue at bug #1295237 I've expanded on the seen-but-not-heard issue at bug #1295271 Are there any other pending issues that need to be addressed? ** Changed in: indicator-datetime (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu.

Even on not deep sleep mode, (wakelock with powerd-cli active), the alarm doesn't ring everytime when the screen is blanked. The first alarm worked, not the others. Popey: See's the alarm notification but not hears no sound. davmor2: I see and hear the alarm and notification if the device is awake if the screen is blank though I sometimes get an alarm 2 minutes Plus after the alarm was meant to go off other times I neither see nor hear the alarm.
