for me its also not working everytime. i ended in installing google clock from playstore.
i think clock fells into doze and cannot activate alarm or something similiar.

Does the stock alarm app still send a notification about an hour before the alarm goes off? It was doing that when the phone came out so I ended up downloading a timely until it got fixed.

I know this sounds stupid did you move the pill button so that it switches the alarm on? When I first set it up, the pill did not automatically come on and I missed the alarm, school boy error I know

the alarm is active before I sleep. I missed alarms and I installed Google Clock also. Much reliable now.

Any chance "do not disturb" doesn't have the alarm exception?

problem with alarm clock

Hi guys,
the problem is:
I've set a ringtone for alarm clock and another different ringtone for appointments and tasks...when I turn on the alarm clock and it is time to wake up, the alarm sounds...but with both ringtones...overlapped
Why this behaviour?
How do I set the alarm clock properly, so it sounds with just one ringtone?
Thanks in advance

ok ok, my fault...next time I will search better for a discussion similar to mine.
However, where I should have to report this bug? I really don't know

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.

alarm not sounding

would anyone know why my alarm isn't working while in standby mode?
I have tested it (setting it a minute later) and the alarm works. but however when it has been sleeping over night, it doesn't seem to sound.
i originally thought that i was killing the clock app with task master but i made an exception to leave it running but it still didn't work.
any thoughts?
Make sure the alarm in silent mode box is checked.

i figured it out. at the time you set the alarm, you have to keep the clock app open. if at any point you close the clock app then the alarm will not sound. thanks for the help!

[Q] Alarm Snoozes Itself

I have the Verizon LG G2. Not rooted all stock launcher etc.
I use the stock alarm clock app and for the last two days, it has been snoozing itself. I'll wake up without the alarm and it says, "snoozed until". That is what it says when you manually snooze it.
I did some testing this morning, and actually found it snoozing itself, screenshot attached.
I download a different alarm app and that one works just fine. I have looked through other posts regarding this but none are recent or in regards to the G2. If there is a solution that I am not seeing, let me know.
I have tried clearing app data and it still snoozes on its own.
Any help would be appreciated.
Now it is snoozing only the first attempt. The second, 5 min later, alarm is going off..
Bump

Go into alarm settings and if you flip action or shake action enabled. If so then that's prob the culprit.

Thanks for your help.
I looked into settings of the app, and there aren't any activated around flip or shake. However, there are a few around the back buttons (LG G2). Even still, I disabled those and it is still functioning this way. I downloaded an alarm clock app from Play Store and it works just fine.
Wondering if even trying to figure out what is going on is worth my time or effort.

For those on Android 6 Marshmallow and having Alarm Clock issues...

*** UPDATE *** Alarm Clock Xtreme has finally been updated. So try it at your own risk.
As some of you may or may not be aware, Android 6 Marshmallow now includes the "Doze" feature which puts the phone into deep sleep when not being used and unplugged. Right now at this point, the alarm app I use, Alarm Clock Extreme (I have the paid version), is not working properly. It isn't waking the phone like it's supposed to.
In doing some research, I see that alarms are supposed to call new parameters to be able to bypass "Doze", which will wake up the phone and activate the alarm.
Right now what happens is Alarm Clock Extreme doesn't wake the phone when it's unplugged and left idle all night. When I wake up to (now) another alarm for the time being, and then manually wake up my phone, only then does Alarm Clock Extreme start going off.
This is a serious issue. Most people wake up to their phones nowadays. Luckily I still have an old alarm clock that I use as backup. Four days in a row now Alarm Clock Extreme failed to produce an alarm.
I tried disabling "Doze" for Alarm Clock Extreme (which you can do in Battery Settings), but that had no effect and didn't produce an alarm.
I also went to go install another alarm from the Play Store, but other alarms that I looked at have not fixed the issue yet either according to reviews.
I have since rolled my phone back to Android 5.1.1 and Alarm Clock Extreme is working properly again.
So, if you're having problems with your alarm clock not going off on Android 6, that is why.
Or use the stock clocks alarm function. As a built-in system app it works. It might not be as fancy as some custom alarm apps but it also hasn't failed me a single time.

Thanks for the reply. What is the name of the system app in case it's not included in the ROM I'm using?

DeskClock. And it should be embedded in the rom or gapps you use. If you install it from Play Store it will be installed to the /data partition and then it suffers from the same problem as third party clocks. It needs to be a system app.

Thank you. Hopefully this will help out others until the apps are updated. I'm kind of surprised apps aren't already updated as long as MM has been out and available to developers.

Actually I wonder if it would help to use the Titanium Backup function of "convert to system app" for the third party alarm apps. Could be worth trying.
The easiest way we found to counter this is just to plug the device in and let it charge over night. Doze is disabled when in charge mode.

I think that will only work if the app has been updated with the newer calls to bypass Doze. Still worth a try. I'll do some testing this weekend.

I can usually use my phone for 2 days before charging most of the time. Even more so on Marshmallow since Doze definitely saves battery. Always thought it not so good on the battery to charge your phone every day if it doesn't need to be charged.
But that is an idea also. I hate being back on 5.1.1 already since MM runs so much better on our Nexus 6.

I have never had an issue with doing that. Have been charging at night for over a decade. Never saw a issue with battery. I could never last 2 days with my battery. Signal is terrible here.
launch day nexus 6 on the first wave of orders from the google store ('memba when we had scripts running to alert when the page showed "in stock"? ) and i always keep the phone on its tylt wireless charger. the battery tells the charger when to stop charging and when to start...
anyway, stock never rooted and i use the in built alarm and that works beautifully.
I use the system clock for alarm and it has worked without issues on 6.0.1. Moreover, it let's me put my phone into DND until the alarm goes off...

As mentioned here, since android 6 marshmallow developers need to use a specific function for alarm clocks.
The alarm clock i developed works well on android 6 just like the native alarm clock only that my alarm clock has some extra features:
* A math question to dismiss in case you use to dismiss while you are sleeping. You can also choose the difficulty level of the math question.
* Set unlimited number of alarms (great for heavy sleepers who wants few alerts in a row to make sure they wake up).
* Set alarms in advance for the entire week.
* Use your own personal tone– A music file from the device or a ringtone from the android OS.
And much more
If you want to download it search in the google play "Simple alarm clock marshmallow" and download the alarm
clock of SimpleUXApss or SUXA (Colorful logo with smiling clock ).
I will be happy to here what do you think
I use timely & haven't had an issue even during the developer previews.

In my app drawer, it shows as "clock"
Alarm Clock Extreme was misbehaving for me in that , when on a Qi pad, Pandora ( my selected alarm is start Pandora ) would not start until I took Pandora off Doze. Now it works, even though Alarm Clock Extreme is still on Doze.
Currently I'm using the stock alarm clock until Alarm Clock Extreme is updated. I've been in contact with the devs and they assure that they are working on the problem as quickly as possible.

exactly what i was looking for! two small issues:
1. the alarm creation goes with 5 minutes gaps. can you make an option to set it to a specific time?
2. auto dismiss (without snooze) is one of the most importnat features to me. can you add an option to auto dismiss alarm after 5-15 seconds?
thanks
edit:
there's another small issue where the clock icon appears twice in notification bar.

Thanks. I appreciate that.
About the 5 minutes gap. It's because 99.9% of the users sets the alarm to a minute value which divided by 5 like
7:00, 8:15, 9:30... and not to 6:03, 7:02, 8:26... So why bothering them. Maybe in the future i will let users to decide about it
but for now i have bigger improvements i want to implement so it might take some time.
Crashes for me
I downloaded your app on the S7 Edge and it crashes every time I try to save an alarm.
