[Q] Samsung Galaxy s4 alarm bug - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hi,
I bought Samsung Galaxy s4 a week back. I found a bug in alarm clock. I set alarm time and enabled repeat weekly option as well. Now the problem is, If I get any alert on my phone like SMS or mail, I cannot change the alarm tone until I switch OFF and switch ON the device. Even after switching it ON, if I get any alert before I change alarm tone, the alarm tone list displayed keeps flickering forever. Also, I cannot STOP or SNOOZE when alarm is ringing. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? I did a software update and my device's software is up to date.
Any help in this regards is appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

have you tried simply clearing out the cache and or data on the clock app and then restarting the app and reset your alarm to how you want it? if not do so and see where that lands you.

Ghost Alarms in WM5

I have a strange issue with Alarm/Notifications in WM5
I had set an alarm using the built-in clock/alram app. Normally when the alarm rinds, there's a dismiss option in the soft buttons in WM5. This is how it has been working for a while.
Strangely, two days ago, the alarm rang but there was no dismiss option... there was no way for me to snooze or dismiss the alarm. I muted my phone and after a while un-muted it and the alarm was gone. Then i went to the alarm app and disabled the alarm.
The same day, i set up an appointment in calendar. When the appointment nitification came on, the sound was played but again, the dismiss option was nowhere to be seen. I couldnt snooze this alarm either.
Now this is one issue, the main annoying issue is that whenever i soft-reset my phone, these two ghost alarms (the original alarm which does not exist anymore, AND the notification for that entry in my calendar which i couldnt snooze, because the option was not displayed) they start sounding as my phone is half way rebooting... And there's nothing i can do to dismis or snooze them.
Any idea? any help will be appreciated. thanks!
I have exactly the same problem. I have set an alarm using the built in Clock & Alarm app in WM5 and could not dismiss it when it came up. Since then, whenever I do a soft reset, the alarm starts up while the device is booting. The annoying part is that it was set to repeating alarm and that's exactly what it does after each soft reset. It repeats less and less frequently and eventually it doesn't repeat any more, but there is nothing I can do to turn it off. I have tried resetting all the options in the Clock & Alarm app but still no luck. I have tried removing the Alarm events in the Notification queue, but they keep coming back after each soft reset.
Has anyone experienced this before, and found a solution to it?
BTW I'm using i-mate JASJAR, but this post describes exactly my symptoms.
I've done some further investigation, and I found a couple of entries in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Shell\Reminders\ that match the description and time I have set up originally for the alarms that keep sounding after every soft reset.
I have tried deleting the entries in the Registry, but after another soft reset, the entries are back! How can I get rid of these for good?
It looks like I've solved the problem...
1. I have deleted the entries from the Registry using Resco Registry Editor that matched the Alarm descriptions that I originally set for the alarms that later kept coming back...
AND
2. I have deleted the clock.exe notifications from the list using Check Notifications from ScaryBear Software.
Once I rebooted, the notifications didn't reappear, the registry entries didn't come back, and most importantly, the ghost alarms didn't go off again!
I have tried both 1 and 2 above before individually between resets, but not both together. When I only did one or the other, both the notifications entries and the registry entries came back after the reset, causing the ghost alarm to keep running after each reset.
I hope this will help anyone else who gets into the same situation.
Thank you very much!
It worked, the alarm was driving me nuts!

Multiple reminders for same alarm

I have the following problem and am cutious if anybody has the same problem and eventually found solutions?
Sometimes I get multiple reminders for the same alarm. This does not happen for alarms from calender. I get this only from alarms which have been set by the Clocks and Alarms menu. When the time comes it gives me multiple reminders. Sometimes up to five and I nedd to press 5 times Dismiss.
Does nobody have a solution. Is it something to do with the notification queue????. How can I access this qued notification?
i like it this way! this way i will WAKE UP instead of falling back to sleep
you can choose the number of reminders / time between reminders from the settings,
I don't use it though I use pocket music player and Megasoft Pocket Clock
I'm currently getting the same alram non stop with no dismiss option any way tot stop that this is the second time it has happened and the last time I had to hard reset. Fo rnow I have turned off all sounds but still get it vibrating
Any Ideas?
google for Check Notification
to detect any of the 'alerts' that are bugging you and delete them

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Get MemMaid, or Pocket Mechanic, both tools great for sorting out a few problems, one of which is duplicate alarms...
i have a problem with alarms being 1 hour late because the device apears to change its mind about which time zone it's in!

!?! lost appointment notification !?!

Hello everyone.
When trying to fix my crazy alarm stuck in a loop, I deleted one too many entry from the notification queue. The alarm is gone, but so are appointment notifications. I can see appointments becoming active but no sound or vibration is being triggered.
Can anyone enlighten me what have I deleted and how to restore it?
Cheers!
BTW Happy New Year everyone!
A few more details
If I set any new alarm it will ring/vibrate but no notification is displayed (cannot dismiss). And even if I remove it/them from the notification queue, they will go on and on.
I really don't want to hard reset, and I even don't know if it would help...Help?
I'm not sure, but have you tried running MemMaid or pmClean to rebuild your notifications?
Thanks for head up. Yes, I tried virtually everything. Not enough knowledge. I ended up with upgrading to WM6. All works fine now. That issue will remain a mistery forever

[Q] Alarm won't turn off - help please?

Okay, I am facing a weird bug. In the past I needed an alarm for early morning, so I set one on my phone. It served me well. However, now I don't need the alarm so I deleted it. But, the alarm still goes off.
The odd thing is no alarm is listed in the alarm app
Help please?
Check your calendar application. Maybe you set it as a recurring alarm?
I did set it as a daily reoccurring alarm but once I deleted it, it should be gone, no?
(Nothing in calendar.)

Alarm Repeat

Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the alarm to repeat! It will only ring once when there is an event and if I don't wake up (say for work) from that first ring, the phone won't ring again. Suggestions?
I guess no one else who has a Droid X has issues with the calendar alarm not repeating.
Hi,
Did you managed to solve that problem with the calendar alerts not repeating in the Android phone?
I'm also looking for something for repeating the alerts, like it used to happen in my old QTEK phone.
Thanks!
I use alarm clock pro as an alarm to wake up in the morning. Works great actually and if I don't use it my kid is late and I mean really late!!
sent from May's Rockin X!!
