hi, I hope this is the right sub forum to post my issue.
The digital clock widget is set on my home screen. When changing the alarm time to a specific time the widget is correctly displaying the time when the alarm goes off. Although when I change the alarm time for a second time, the widget is not refreshing the time - not even after hours. If the widget is resized it refreshes.

Delete it and readd the widget, if there was an update that can tend to break certain features/functions.
Thank you, but it doesn't fix the issue.
It happens to me too, when I set off an alarm or enable one, it doesn't refresh the widget. I have to delete the widget and then take it back.
I have the same issue on Galaxy Nexus, stock ROM, android 4.2.2, rooted with Nexus Root Toolkit

I was having this issue and resolved it on my phone by going into:
Security -> Owner Info
and checking Don't show owner info
I'm brand new to Android, an immigrant from Windows Phone. While I love my Note 3 and am very happy I made the switch, I'm trying to replicate one big feature that came standard on the WP. It seems easy enough, but not so far.
I want a lockscreen that shows me the following things without my having to swipe anything. I turn on the phone, I see these things:
* Unread mail count for the out-of-the-box Email app
* Unread mail count for a second account which currently uses K-9 mail but doesn't have to
* ONLY unread text messages. The actual messages would be nice, but just the count is ok. Unread only!!!
* Upcoming calendar appointments
Of course there are a million lockscreens out there, but I can't seem to nail down the one that does the above things. I can get some of this, but no lockscreen seems to give me this.
I would like another lockscreen widget that presents me with a blank note I can write on, like S-Note or an Action Memo, but I want the ability to handwrite with the stylus. But that can be on another lock screen page.
Any help?
You could try out widgetlocker. It's a great alternative to the stock one imo. And with the right apps like missed it! You can set the unread pins. I guess you want something like I used to have? (screenie is old but something like that?)

Try using dash clock and it's extensions as a widget on your lockscreen. As long as you get the right extensions it can do everything you need and more.

Hi there,
The default snooze time of the original alarm app that came with the edge+ is too short... Is it possible to edit it / increase it to ten minutes?
Thanks in advance!
hi I only know a third party app that does exactly what you want, android doesn't let you choose custom snooze time, however you can use this excellent app that I am using too, check
Calendar Snooze by Bitfire-development
*** UPDATE *** Alarm Clock Xtreme has finally been updated. So try it at your own risk.
As some of you may or may not be aware, Android 6 Marshmallow now includes the "Doze" feature which puts the phone into deep sleep when not being used and unplugged. Right now at this point, the alarm app I use, Alarm Clock Extreme (I have the paid version), is not working properly. It isn't waking the phone like it's supposed to.
In doing some research, I see that alarms are supposed to call new parameters to be able to bypass "Doze", which will wake up the phone and activate the alarm.
Right now what happens is Alarm Clock Extreme doesn't wake the phone when it's unplugged and left idle all night. When I wake up to (now) another alarm for the time being, and then manually wake up my phone, only then does Alarm Clock Extreme start going off.
This is a serious issue. Most people wake up to their phones nowadays. Luckily I still have an old alarm clock that I use as backup. Four days in a row now Alarm Clock Extreme failed to produce an alarm.
I tried disabling "Doze" for Alarm Clock Extreme (which you can do in Battery Settings), but that had no effect and didn't produce an alarm.
I also went to go install another alarm from the Play Store, but other alarms that I looked at have not fixed the issue yet either according to reviews.
I have since rolled my phone back to Android 5.1.1 and Alarm Clock Extreme is working properly again.
So, if you're having problems with your alarm clock not going off on Android 6, that is why.
Or use the stock clocks alarm function. As a built-in system app it works. It might not be as fancy as some custom alarm apps but it also hasn't failed me a single time.

Thanks for the reply. What is the name of the system app in case it's not included in the ROM I'm using?

DeskClock. And it should be embedded in the rom or gapps you use. If you install it from Play Store it will be installed to the /data partition and then it suffers from the same problem as third party clocks. It needs to be a system app.

Thank you. Hopefully this will help out others until the apps are updated. I'm kind of surprised apps aren't already updated as long as MM has been out and available to developers.

Actually I wonder if it would help to use the Titanium Backup function of "convert to system app" for the third party alarm apps. Could be worth trying.
The easiest way we found to counter this is just to plug the device in and let it charge over night. Doze is disabled when in charge mode.

I think that will only work if the app has been updated with the newer calls to bypass Doze. Still worth a try. I'll do some testing this weekend.

I can usually use my phone for 2 days before charging most of the time. Even more so on Marshmallow since Doze definitely saves battery. Always thought it not so good on the battery to charge your phone every day if it doesn't need to be charged.
But that is an idea also. I hate being back on 5.1.1 already since MM runs so much better on our Nexus 6.

I have never had an issue with doing that. Have been charging at night for over a decade. Never saw a issue with battery. I could never last 2 days with my battery. Signal is terrible here.
launch day nexus 6 on the first wave of orders from the google store ('memba when we had scripts running to alert when the page showed "in stock"? ) and i always keep the phone on its tylt wireless charger. the battery tells the charger when to stop charging and when to start...
anyway, stock never rooted and i use the in built alarm and that works beautifully.
I use the system clock for alarm and it has worked without issues on 6.0.1. Moreover, it let's me put my phone into DND until the alarm goes off...

As mentioned here, since android 6 marshmallow developers need to use a specific function for alarm clocks.
The alarm clock i developed works well on android 6 just like the native alarm clock only that my alarm clock has some extra features:
* A math question to dismiss in case you use to dismiss while you are sleeping. You can also choose the difficulty level of the math question.
* Set unlimited number of alarms (great for heavy sleepers who wants few alerts in a row to make sure they wake up).
* Set alarms in advance for the entire week.
* Use your own personal tone– A music file from the device or a ringtone from the android OS.
And much more
If you want to download it search in the google play "Simple alarm clock marshmallow" and download the alarm
clock of SimpleUXApss or SUXA (Colorful logo with smiling clock ).
I will be happy to here what do you think
I use timely & haven't had an issue even during the developer previews.

In my app drawer, it shows as "clock"
Alarm Clock Extreme was misbehaving for me in that , when on a Qi pad, Pandora ( my selected alarm is start Pandora ) would not start until I took Pandora off Doze. Now it works, even though Alarm Clock Extreme is still on Doze.
Currently I'm using the stock alarm clock until Alarm Clock Extreme is updated. I've been in contact with the devs and they assure that they are working on the problem as quickly as possible.

exactly what i was looking for! two small issues:
1. the alarm creation goes with 5 minutes gaps. can you make an option to set it to a specific time?
2. auto dismiss (without snooze) is one of the most importnat features to me. can you add an option to auto dismiss alarm after 5-15 seconds?
thanks
edit:
there's another small issue where the clock icon appears twice in notification bar.

Thanks. I appreciate that.
About the 5 minutes gap. It's because 99.9% of the users sets the alarm to a minute value which divided by 5 like
7:00, 8:15, 9:30... and not to 6:03, 7:02, 8:26... So why bothering them. Maybe in the future i will let users to decide about it
but for now i have bigger improvements i want to implement so it might take some time.
Crashes for me
I downloaded your app on the S7 Edge and it crashes every time I try to save an alarm.
Alright, so I got a galaxy S8 on Sunday (coming from a OP5 which didn't satisfy me at all) but I just can't figure out how to change the default clock.
I set up my alarm using Google Assistant (it's just easier, I first turn off my lights with the Assistant then setup my alarm and I'm done) but it defaults to the Samsung app although I have Google's installed.
Also, I set it at 5.42 so I can snooze it twice and get up at 6 am for University, except the default snooze is set at 5 minutes (against my defaultI9 minutes) and I can't snooze it more than twice (the only option I then see (after two snoozes) is to disable the alarm).
How am I supposed to change it to Google's clock or change settings in the app?
Thank you guys and have a good one!
You can set snooze details when you create the individual alarm to whatever you want...
