Using Clock with Dated Alarm

Guys,
Is it me or is there no way to set a smart alarm on the SGS for a particular date?

It's only a "smart" alarm, not a "prodigy" or "genious" alarm.
I think you're stuck with setting alarms for a week ahead at most. Unless there's a way to make a calendar entry trigger a smart alarm in some way.

Thanks..... Just needed to make sure I was not missing something.
Shame though that Samsung did not add an ability to have a 'Smart Alarm' or normal Alarm from inside the Clock App with date selection.
Using the calendar to set an Alarm is nothing and I mean nothing compared to the dedicated Clock Alarm App.

crappy calendar notification

if you set an alarm on the calender item you get a 2 sec. sound and that is it..
anyone know a way to change the calender notification sound and/or make it longer... and louder thanks.

You cannot change the sound so easily. The SGS would need a trackpad ou touchpad to select the Calender of which you want to change the notification sound.
But you can try searching calender notifier in market. This should allow you to change the sound. Personally haven´t tried it because i don´t use the calender to remind me.

this pissing me off too:/

Yeah, and I thought I ve done something wrong. Unbelivable. I am starting to think that Android has not so much over Symbian. Very dissapointed. For every little damn thing we need to get a third party application. I am moving to Nokia N8 as soon as it's released. This android is exactly like windows mobile. A bunch of third party apps to get the basic stuff going.

I use this calendar snooze, its brilliant, you get a prompt to snooze for any length of time, just like in old windows mobile and you can setup the calendar notification sound, etc...

if your phone is rooted you can change the notification sound, i've done this some week ago by replacing original audio file with a custom and longer sound. If you want to try search in developement or theme forum

[Q] How to disable Touchwiz calendar reminder on lock screen

I think I have gone through every menu option in settings for my S4 i9505 but I can't for the life of me figure out how to disable the calendar appointment reminder that appear on the lock screen. I believe it is Samsung S Planner application that is doing it but I can't find any options for it under the general settings for Security, Display, Lock Screen or in the settings for S Planner. I'm not sure where else to look. I'd like to carry on using S Planner as the application interface isn't too bad but I really want to disable to calendar reminder on the lock screen. Any ideas?
Thanks

I tried this and found two apps one called S Planner and another called S Planner Widget. S Planner had the Show Notification check box disabled (i.e. could not toggle the settings) and the Disable button was inactive (could not click this). However, the S Planner Widget could be changed so I disabled the Show Notification and also Disabled it. I believe it is the S Planner Widget that was the offender so hopefully this will have fixed it. I'll know for sure after a few appointments have come and gone and nothing get's splatted across my lock screen. Thanks for the help.

As it turns out, this did not fix the issue. The S Planner application has an option in the application for "Set alerts and notifications". The options are:
1. Alert
2. Status bar notification
3. Off
I've now set this to Off which has stopped the lock screen view coming up. The notification bar notifications are still coming up (presumably this is coming from the main Calendar application). The notification bar notifications is something I still wanted to retain but unfortunately clicking on this notification just takes me to the normal Calendar app rather than S Planner.
Doesn't seem a way around it as far as I can see.

I have used the 1st option (1. Alert) and it seems to be that the reminders appear on the notification bar, and in the first occasion of the reminder as a dismiss or snooze screen but NOT on the lock screen. Give that a try.

Snooze delay

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

Is it possible to change the default clock?

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...
