Hello,
as you might know the stock alarm clock has a function to repeat the alarm a few times, it will show a red button/slider to dismiss the alarm completely and a green one to have it ring again after some time.
My problem is that i have a hard time waking up and often half-asleep activate the red one when i would want it to ring again.
So here is my questions: Are there any mods out there that disable/obscure the red button, when repeat is on (aka there is a green button too)? Or do you know any other alarm app that would work similarly? (i really like some feature of the stock one though, like intelligent alarm, different alarms per day and SVoice integration, thats why i am asking here first)
I am using I9505 (International LTE), currently EchoeRom v10 (4.3, TW based).
Thanks,
tizare

It occured to me today that on my old (and beloved) XDA IIi if i didn't fill in a description when setting an alarm, it sometimes caused problems. So i thought i wonder how it works on the hd2
So i've been running an experiment for the past half hour.
1 - set an alarm using wm clocks and alarms,
2 - set another alarm using the sense alarm screen.
Result.
The wm alarm activates and plays the selected tone
The sense alarm activates but DOESNT make any noise, only the popup and the flashing LED.
I'll be setting all my alarms through the wm clocks and alarms screen from now on!
Update. I confirmed the above 4 times, with the same result, however as soon as i turned on the 'enable dismiss x time in notifications' tweak in bsbtweaks, both alarms now sound the alarm tone.
Curiouser and curiouser.
I really really love my HD2 but the only thing that I have a problem is the alarm clock. The alarm goes off and plays the notification but then doesnt repeat or a long pause between the notificatios. Is there a way to have the notification repeat till you turn off the alarm or a free alarm app alternative?
I'd love to know a good alternative app too because it doesn't seem I can select anything but the default alarm rings. I'd love to be able to play music instead
The best alarm I have found is G-alarm (not Free) but well worth the money. It allows for mp3 as alarms. do a search and you will find it
My problem with the stock alarm is that the pop up notification box no longer shows unless I tap on the notification bar first. I think it used to before I did a hard reset. Basicall when the alarm goes off I want to see that pop up box on the bottom where I can dismiss or snooze. It was so much more convenient then having to tap on the notification bar after unlocking. I also have BSB tweaks installed and have the dismiss x time option enabled.
EDIT: Found the solution in All Settings. Just had to enable the pop up.

Attached is the free older version of G-Alarm.
I just switched over to the new CM7 yesterday and am quite happy with it thus far, except for one thing. I really loved being able to set the alarm clock app by spinning the wheel to the correct number on the original ROM. I'm guessing this was part of the Sense UI setup. Is there any alarm clock app that has something similar? I've downloaded a couple and though obviously the widgets and UI differ, they've all had the same boring + - to change the times. Thanks in advance
yeah, the spinning is part of the sense ui. but now that you bring it up, one thing i miss is being able to use music to wake up to, instead of 'beep beep beep'. i don't want to have to download another alarm to have that :-(
If you use Handcent SMS You can set Music to the Alarm. It allows you to set music to just about all your ringtone & Notifications.
I know it's not ideal to download another alarm app, but there are two small ones in the market (I'm talking kilobytes) that are awesome. "Good Morning" can wake to music with text-to-speech telling you the time, weather, news, etc. AppAlarm can wake you to Pandora or any number of other apps as well. Both work amazingly.
I was in a phone call when my (stock) alarm went off, ended the phone call and had no way to get into my alarm to turn it off. I could get into the alarm settings etc. but there was no way to turn it off, just the settings for it.
This seems like it happens to me every time I use the alarm (which isn't often). I cant shut the damn thing off - and have to pull the battery. It doesn't matter what I am doing at the time the alarm rings. What is the trick to it?
If you guys are using a aosp Rom with cm7 lock screen sense clock alarms will not shut off when using them so either get the HTC lockscreen apk to use the sense alarms or just use desk clock apk u can find it on a few roms. Or in the forums works for me. Cm7 lockscreen will cause issues with sense alarms not shutting off.
i've only had that issue when using a sense rom with asop lockscreen... but i believe that is an old problem and i dunno about a resolution
i have used alarm droid in the past to by pass the normall alarm does all the same and even backs up ur settings alarms from rom to rom which is kind of nice

Get desk clock apk from cm7 or find it on here use it instead of sense alarms works fine.
I have desk clock and thats the one that wouldnt turn off. any other suggestions?
Couple of questions on Nexus 4 that I couldn't find with searching:
1. Do calendar events trigger the LED notification light? Either with or without a 3rd party app like Light Flow?
2. How does snooze show up when the regular clock alarm goes off? On my Galaxy S3, it's kind of silly because you drag one way to dismiss and another way to snooze. Very easy to miss and choose the wrong option early in the morning when you're groggy. Would be nicer to have big bold buttons - one for snooze and one for dismiss. Or have the side button set to snooze. Etc.
