is there any way to set the alarm to not stop going off untill snoozed or dismissed
I had that problem too. The problem is the alert plays and then there is a long pause, up to 5 mins I've seen, then plays again. Sometimes it doesnt play again, which is bad. I've never seen a fix for it. I use an app called gAlarm which is 100 times better. It can over ride the built in sense alarm so you can see it on your home screen.
I found an alarm app called Klaxon which is free. Its a lot better than the stock alarm and you can set song as the alarms, & you can set a time to play the song ( I do 10 minutes) and if nothing happens after that 10 minutes it snoozes which you can set the time for that also.
Check it out. all you got to do is google klaxon for hd2
thank you both lol i just came from iphone and they had the perfect alarm lol even rang when phone was off

Hi! I am using the 4.0 Biggy with Cube by ttran. Its great and I like it a lot the only weird thing I've had to deal with is that it seems like everytime I set an alarm it goes off, regardless of if it is the current one set, or if it is even set.
Example.
I set alarm 1 for 9am and then I change it to 10am. Then I change it to 8am. Then I change it to 9am. The alarm will go off at 8am, and then two alarms (it will give me two notices and I can hear my alarm ring tone echoing, meaning two tones are going off) and then the alarm will go off at 10am.
Even then this doesn't seem to happen consistently, but it happens enough to where its starting to be an inconvenience. This morning i had 3 alarms pop up at my normal alarm time, with 3 tones overlaying each other pretty much going off at approximately the same time.
Does anybody know what the issue is here, I know the Dash had certain alarm problems where it went off everyday at the same time but its not quite the same as mine.
Please advise, thanks!
winmo has always been slightly spotty when it came to alarms. i suggest a third party program
I've used Memmaid to delete duplicate notifications/alarms. I don't know what freeware is out there that can duplicate this function but I'm sure there is something.
I used the alarm function on my old phone and it was great, it would ring and ring and ring for a minute every five minutes unless i hit snooze.
My new phone (Titan) has a terrible alarm, it can ring and vibrate and light up... for about thirty seconds, and then I get a wonderful little reminder that my alarm went off on my screen! Its such a great alarm that I was only a LITTLE late to school today.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I've been looking in the forum but have thus far not stumbled upon anything useful.
My alarm will repeat until I either snooze or turn it off.
Under clock and alarms, go to the alarms tab, then tap the bell on the alarm.
repeat will be an option as well as flash and vibrate. I use alarm5 for the sound. See if it works with that sound on your device....
couldn't find anything in the user manual - is there any way to get it to sound longer than 1 minute?
i riipped the sound file from that samsung video (where are you going today) but it only plays for one minute
so i figured it might be something i did in editing the file, so i went back to the stock sounds, and still only plays for one minute.
btw - to that poster with problems - when i left my phone charging overnite, apparently the "battery fully charge notification" stopped the alarm action -
I use Gentle Alarm. Haven't had a problem with it. One of my favorite functions is the ability to choose an artist from you music collection instead of a ring tone. When ever the alarm goes off the app will pick a random song from that artist to play.
but how long will the alarm sound for ? mine stops dead at one minute
I'm also interested in an alarm replacement. To make matters worse than the one minute time limit is that if I don't hit snooze it doesn't go off again, even though I have it set to go off five times. The stock alarm is pretty lame.
Gentle Alarm will keep going. I'm a fairly deep sleeper and I've never slept through it.

thanks - i'll give it a try
Nice, thanks. I already like it as long as it works. The playlists and night display are bonus.
It's been acting strangely for the past few days. Basically I have the "Alarm-Snooze" tone for my alarm sound.
On a different topic, if I have events set to remind in my calendar, I have the reminder tone set to "Ring-Basic"
Now going back to the phone alarm, every morning when the alarm goes off, it goes off playing two tones "Ring-Basic" + "Alarm-Snooze" COMBINED! Plus instead of the alarm going off until I physically turn it off, the alarm turns off by itself after about 5 seconds.
This isn't right, and it have never done this before. A bug perhaps? Any suggestions...
Just got my S5, came from a Droid Charge (which, after getting community radios from XDA I loved quite a bit for years) and am having some issues with the alarm clock. Thankfully I still set my alarm on my Charge as a backup or I would have been late for work this morning. The issues are as follows:
1. Smart alarm just doesn't seem to work? I have the exact same settings on my S5 as I do on my Charge (albeit with different tones) - Alarm Type: Sound, Alarm Tone: Serene Morning, Snooze: Off, Smart Alarm: On (3 minutes, Beginning of Life). Yet when I set my alarm it goes off exactly at the time it was set for (unlike on my Charge where the smart alarm would start 3 minutes earlier and crescendo) and just plays the alarm tone.
2. The alarm just turns off at 1 minute and never rings again? I guess this is working as intended as my gf says it works this way on her S3 as well, but really? what a terrible design for an alarm?
Think I'm going to find a third party app unless anyone else has a suggestion?

Enable "Sleep" on your alarm and you must choose "Zz" instead of "X" when your alarm rings.
I´ve tested here and it´s working well, with no issues.
