My Uni was synced to my PC via USB cable when a Reminder came up. I clicked "Dismiss" in Outlook's popup window, thinking it would automatically dismiss the reminder from the phone as well (like it usually does).
However, to my annoyance, IT KEPT ON RINGING! I picked up the phone to switch off the reminder manually, but, to my amazement, it wasn't there anymore! The phone kept playing an alarm sound for a reminder that had already been dismissed!!
Two soft-resets later and it's still playing! Is there any way to switch the damn thing off without a hard reset? Just installed a bunchload of new apps on it, don't want to have to go through it again....
I have the same problem with my Dash. I set an alarm for 8:40pm. The alarm went off, I turned off the alarm and even changed the alarm to a different time. Every day the alarm goes off at 8:40pm. its crazy!
I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but this has happened twice to me now, in a week. I have the snooze set to 3x10 (which I find odd that you have to enable snooze in the first place) however, it doesn't always work, like this morning I hit snooze and once again the alarm never came back.
and I'm not hitting the wrong button, at least they used different colors for the two.
Mine is working great. Never had a problem and I actually love the new alarm clock. I thought it was strange to have to enable it, but I'm guessing it's because they gave you the ability to customize the snooze feature and just decided to have it turned off by default (not what I would've done but it wasn't that big of a deal to turn it on)
I have the same issue the alarm is pretty bad.

I have not seen that problem on my Vibrant.
But it does remind me of the good old days when I first got my G1 its stock alarm clock would just not work at all sometimes it was like a random chance of it going off.... made me late for work twice lol.
Same problem here.
This morning, I found that if I hit the volume down key instead of the snooze button, it works.
Also, anyone figure out what's the point of Smart Alarm?

Smart Alarm is an alarm that starts before your regular alarm lol... you can have it play rain sounds or morning bird chirps for 3 minutes before your alarm goes off.
I'm having issues with my alarm as well. This morning mine failed to go off at all, fortunately I set my touch as a backup.

For some reason it doesn't give me a snooze option when the smart alarm goes off.
Also I got to work late this morning because my alarm didn't go off at all. I had fallen to sleep using the "Sleepy Time" app and apparently when it's running, the alarm won't go off.
At least I hope it's that app because if it isn't then I have some unknown issue that makes the alarm unreliable.
Yeah I'm just gonna have to get me a cheap alarm clock... It's hard to trust it, i've been late twice now in a week...
i've used the alarm clock since the day it came out and it's never let me down yet. make sure you don't have a task killer that kills it before it can come on and that when you snooze you actually long-press on the button to do so. i'm sure i told you a bunch of stuff you already know/have tried, but i wanted to make sure.
I set my snooze to try it out and it only worked once. I think I had it set on 10 minutes, 3 times, and it didn't work.
Same problems here. I've got my Snooze set to "10 min, 5 times" and it doesn't work. I hit Snooze in the morning, then wake up an hour later and have to scramble to get ready for work.
I'm going to see if I can install the stock Android clock/alarm on it instead.
I use AlarmClock Plus instead of the stock program. No complaints so far.
Sounds like there may be a problem with snooze. I use the regular alarm and set 3 different times in the morning, all have worked since I setup the phone, but I dont use the snooze option.
I've had alarm issues on this and other samsung phones. They just don't work very well. I am using math alarm clock (paid app) now, can be found in the market. I love it and have had no issues. Plus I can't shut it off without looking at it which helps me, a very heavy sleeper, wake up.
What I've noticed is that if you have check marks on both the morning alarm and the normal alarm, in the same alarm profile, the morning alarm will go off first and only display the option of stopping that alarm, no snooze option appears on screen. The problem is that the morning alarm will stop all alarms in that alarm profile. So that back up alarm you set for 15 minutes after the morning alarm is also canceled once you stop it.
Making two alarm profiles fixed that problem for me.

I use Math Alarm in the market. It's a couple of bucks, but it might be the best non-root paid app I've ever used. You can set the math problems to varying degrees of difficulty and, for sound sleepers like me, it's a very useful tool.
I've never had a problem with the snooze that I can concretely tie to the application and not my sleepiness... but there have been some oddities. Tried snooze a few days ago and it worked fine, though.
Never had any troubles with the alarm going off (that would be hell). I actually like this alarm because it makes you press/hold instead of just tapping the dismiss/snooze button. That seems to help me actually wake up cause I have to think about it (as sad as that sounds...).
I personally have two physical alarms set.
1) 7:00am with 2 snoozes
2) 7:30am with no snoozes
So far I've used and messed with both since I've had my phone and like clock work they both haven't failed me once. I do however turn my phone off now and then and often my phone is off and when I am forced to get up at 6am to help the wife get out the door I go back to sleep and I rely on my phone after I turn it on to wake me back up.
Mine only snoozed once today although I had it set to do it 3 times.
Got a very weird problem. The other day while setting up my alarm to wake me up, my phone crashed. I rebooted, no problems.... at least so i thought.
Now my alarm keeps waking me up at 06:00am every day, while in my alarm settings all three my alarms are off! The alarm works normally, i can dismiss or snooze it.
What i tried so far: soft resetting and changing all alarm settings. no effect.
What i dont want to do: reinstall
Can anyone please give me the registry key for the alarm and tell me how to fix this? Thanks!
I use Alarm Clock Extreme. I never had any problems with the alarm going off in they morning when I used the same app on my Nexus 6. But now with the Galaxy S7 Edge, when the phone is in sleep mode, the alarm doesn't go off in they mornings until I wake up the phone by hitting the home or power buttons. It's caused me to be late to work a few times these past few weeks. Any advice would be helpful. I have the alarms set up identically on both devices.
I believe you have to set it so it doesn't "optimize" the alarm app. I missed one alarm and then realized that might be the case. Every so often it will completely remove the widget as well. It's pretty annoying but I think it's more of Marshmallow issue than a Samsung thing.
Yep...that could definitely be the problem

This is very important in choosing my next phone. I use my alarm clock for work. I do snooze a couple times when it goes off. I've always had a home button on my galaxy phones to snooze. How do you snooze on the axon 7 and how is the alarm clock?

You can snooze by simply flipping the phone over on it's face. The alarm clock is fine, it can be a bit loud due to the front speakers.
You can also snooze by tapping anywhere on the screen.
Side note as alarm is important for you: you'll surely rejoice to know that the alarm can go off even when the phone is OFF. It will turn the phone on about 5min prior to going off.
You can also install an alternative alarm/clock. I've installed Google's clock and it also provides the option to snooze alarms by pressing a volume key (up or down).
