I wanted to use the stock alarm for my X10 mini pro, but it ONLY sounded off once and DOES NOT REPEAT. As a result, I got a warning letter from my work for going to work late.
Now, I'm having trouble finding a good alarm clock, that sounds off the alarm and repeats UNTIL dismissed.. can anyone reccommend me?
if you Snooz it and not Dismiss it will go off again in 15min, that is all i do with my X10

Yeah, Kaloer clock is amazing. Check it out
Android Variations: Check em out!
Math Alarm Clock (the one I use)
One of the best apps EVER.
Also, if you can get good night sleeps get Smart Alarm Clock (it detects by movements the phase of sleep you are so I wakes you up on REM ) (it kindda work, but BLOWS MY BATTERY)
i use "Alarm Klock"(free on the market) :
you can param snooze timer, use MP3 as sound, progressive volume(settable), vabrate (or not), set label name for each alarm ...
For snooze : there a giant button
to stop the alarm, there a button ton slide (like to unlock an iPhone)
im having the same problem after i got the OTA update (on rogers network in canada btw)
the alarm would go silence on its own after a minute of going off, and then it doesnt repeat
:S
How about setting a couple of alarms with the stock app instead of one?
I use shaketowake.
Have to shake every morning about 20 times, and shake it hard for 1 alarm. Believe me you will wake up. First time it took 5 min to shake.
Kaloer clock was working perfectly before the OTA update.
After the update....its a bit slow and not as responsive.
Do you guys have the same issue with it?

Very true. Funny thing is that mine (Dutch Toucht) doesn't show 10 but shows 15 minutes twice. It works though.

It's a rom problem, if he's using an official rom, HTC screwed up, if it is a cooked one, the cook's to blaim, either that or he didn't opened the menu.
Anyways, it isn't a WM6 problem.
Doh... sussed it thanks (its called menu now)
pretty off-topic but don't you think it would be cool if the alram clock could alert you with a random song from your library than an alarm sound.
just a random thought
I have another dumb-arse but related question.
I thought you would change the alarm sound by going to 'sounds and notifications' but alarm doesnt seem to be one of the listed events for which you can change the sound. Where do you go to change to alarm sound to something else?
Settings -> System -> Clock & Alarms -> Alarms
look for play sound
then again... i wouldnt use the default alarm in wm6. Its really bad.. however there are other alternatives out there.
I heard pTravelAlarm is nice.. however its like 2mb just for an alarm program?

Official rom. Hardly a reason to flash a phone.
How come the alarm only rings once? I hit the snooze for five minutes but after i hit snooze in the morning nothing happens.
Same thing, thats why I stopped usng it the stock htc alarm. I use Alarmdroid now and it's way better, a lot more options and it rings more than once and more than 15 minutes.
No issues here, hit snooze like 5 times today, kept waking me up every 10 minutes.
No issues here. Hopefully they don't start occurring either.

i STRONGLY recommend you pay for an app called "gentle alarm". It is such a nice way to wake up. The customization levels cater for everyone.
It maybe my morning haze but I believe you need to drag the icon into the circle to snooze. Did that this morning and it worked fine.
Personally I find the whole dragging thing too complicated and I wake up after hitting snooze.

I was thinkin the same thing since by the time I focus my eyes to drag the snooze button, I'm already awake so its kinda pointless. I would rather have to snooze by hitting the power/volume rocker or sum since I don't have to look to find them, I know/can feel where they are. Bt if I need dismiss then I would actually have to drag the thing in there so that way my eyes r already open.

strange, i drag the "snooze" to the circle...
LoL.... but try gentle alarm...
lol...When you try to drag the circle to the snooze-button you unlock your phone and shut down the alarm altogether.
It is button to the ring
Aside from the issue where I had zero sounds (ringer, text notification, alarm, etc.) (a reboot fixed that, and I was able to replicate the issue -- explained here), the alarm has worked perfectly for me. If I drag the snooze icon into the ring, it snoozes for 10 minutes and then starts up again.
I wish I could adjust the "snooze" time length, but other than that it works just fine for me.
Apparently Samsung doesn't know how to make a snooze feature as snoozing the alarm will cancel it when it tries to come out of snooze the first time. After Googling it it sounds like other people found out the hard way that snoozing doesn't work.

Works for me. Just not a 100% of the time kinda deal as I've noticed. Only failed once so far, and I can't rule out operator error on that one.
Lol. That explains last Wednesday morning.

I might be having a similar issue. I am terrible at waking up in the morning and I set the snooze limit to 5 times. Most of the time I am not sure if it goes off after I snooze it.
Kinda makes me wonder how long the alarm goes off before it stops.

Stock alarm is terrible, it auto snoozes after 1 minute and there is no way to change it. If you are a heavy sleeper better change it to something else ASAP. I'm using alarm clock extreme and all is taken care of now.

I have had no problem with the stock alarm so far. I have only had it snooze once but that was the auto snooze and it went off again. I don't normally let it snooze though since I have it on the other side of the room and have to get up to turn it off.
I've had issues with every phones stock alarm. Well not the S3.....because I'll never take the chance. I use Gentle Alarm and have never had a single issue. Great app!
Currently not being productive on my S3.

I've used extreme alarm but I really wish the stock app worked because all of the 3rd party apps are hideous looking and the stock one has all the timer and world clocks integrated into it.
I turn the phone over to snooze and this works.
On another note, when the alarm rings, it gives two choices - swipe one way to cancel the alarm and swipe the other way to snooze.
On my old Droid X, it was swipe to cancel the alarm touch anywhere else to snooze. This worked real well for me. First thing in the morning, I don't want to wake up enough to find the right place to swipe. Turning it over is a good alternative.
Works for me

You can also press either volume button to snooze it.
I've been using the stock alarm ever since I got the phone, and across multiple ROMs. Never once had it miss an alarm/snooze.
At first it wasn't waking me up because it doesn't run very long before it shuts itself off. Then I set it to auto snooze up to ten times and haven't had any problems. I also use the smart alarm (that I love by the way) which starts 3 minutes before your regular alarm. I also really love the peaceful tones that don't jerk me out of sleep like buzzers and what not.
Yea the stick one has done glitches. The most annoying thing for me is the stupid nature sounds lol . They make me want to sleep more. I transferred the rooster call from my MAXX

Gentle alarm user here. Just out of curiosity, is there any way to get S Voice to set the alarm for 3rd party alarm apps?
You can completely change everything on the stock alarm. You can change the snooze duration and everything.
Look harder next time :sly:

Since the JB update, the standard clock's alarm has stopped working properly. Prior to JB if an alarm was set and the tab was closed/charging the alarm would go off continuously and the tab would vibrate, I would unlock with my PIN and there would be a dialog up to either hit "dismiss" or "snooze".
Since JB, if the tab is locked (open or closed) it just beeps once very briefly (sounds like it is being "caught" and cut short), does not vibrate at all, and when I unlock and open it, there is a little notification on the notifications menu with the alarm info. If I click on that, it opens a dialog that says "dismiss" or "snooze". If the screen is not locked, it behaves exactly like it did above with no notification.
Anyone else see this or who could try reproducing it? I have not messed with any settings, when I look at them everything is like I would expect. I have never seen an alarm sent to the notification tray rather than sounding and this behavior strikes me as a bug.
Anyone have an alternate alarm clock they use with TF and JB?
You are not alone. I've deleted the clock cache, done a hard reboot and still the alarm only gives a brief "chirp" and is heard no more.
I had come to rely on the alarm in my travels as it has worked without fail whether on or in sleep mode- until the jelly bean update.

Thanks for the confirmation of the issue. At least I know someone else is seeing this and it is not some crazy setup issue. I am disappointed too. I've been using this in lieu of a real alarm clock while in a temporary living situation, so it's something I want to find a solution for...
Tested same thing, I dont use the feature but it is broke how you described it.

It's not a bug since it's working fine on by tablet. My clock version is 2.03 and default ringtone is celsium. Did you tried to wipe DATA and CACHE, then reboot? Did you freeze any system app? Could you try the same ringtone as mine?
It is a bug or an intended feature to save power. It only beeps correctly if the clock is on the screen, either bright or dim. If the screen is off as in sleep mode, then it beeps once only then stops.
My wife certainly noticed yesterday morning! Good thing that i had an alarm set also!

I have the same exact problem
The day after the update I set it to wake me up the next morning and it didnt work either so now I leave it plugged in and the screen open in the dock and it works. I dont know what I did the first night but I almost didnt wake up. I also noticed if you put the volume all the way down to vibrate the alarm doesnt go off aswell but ICS work fine. All other sounds on silent but alarm still sounded off on ICS.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app
Me too. So, anyone let Asus know about this bug yet?
haha just found out this morning too. i had set the infinity alarm as my backup alarm because i just flashed a new rom on my phone. good thing the phone alarm still works. that could have been nasty
ya found this out the hard way this morning, when I was 45 minutes late for work.
is it due to the tablet going to sleep? I know in ICS i had the power settings set to never sleep if plugged in. cant find the equivalent 'if plugged in' settings. so for now I will test it if i set it just never sleep ever.
Here's a fix until Asus sort it out - keep the clock app open when you shut the tablet off. I think it's something to do with the alarm's Snooze/Dismiss notification. I'd keep a backup alarm set even using the fix,though - at least for a little bit.
I don't even have a TF700, but my fellow editor over at Pocketables does and wrote about this issue. I threw together a Tasker project that sort of fixes this, at least makes the alarm make some noise again. Exported it as a standalone app and he tells me it works. Details and download here if anyone would like to try it out: http://www.pocketables.com/2012/10/transformer-pad-infinity-temporary-alarm-fix-app-download.html
Details about what it does and disclaimer is in that post as well.

Having the same issue with no volume on alarms. Did some searching this morning and did not have any luck.
Not sure I understand the concept of "Freezing" with the 1+7 pro. Can you explain in a little more detail?
Are there any known issues if I "disable" the stock clock app and use the Google Clock?

Yeah i was having the same problem, now using timely app and also samsung clock on my old note 5
I have been a long Google clock user. Used timely (for its ability to sync over multiple devices) for a while but I also found I like to keep some things simple. With simplicity in mind, I am trying to address the low alarm volume with the stock app and have been doing some work on the stock clock app. In settings, all the way at the bottom is the "increasing volume" toggle. When I disable this setting, my alarms behave normally. Meaning, when my alarm goes off at 06:00, it wakes me up, with the alarm I have selected. This operates the same with timers and anything else that uses the alarm volume (Interestingly, when BT is connected, the volume is still decreased but one problem at a time).
Are some of you willing to check and see if you have the same outcome?
thanks in advance.
I have 2 alarms that go off in the morning. The first one never rings but the second does.
Just got my phone yesterday, so I tried the stock clock. Turned volume up to Mac and went to sleep.
Didn't hear it, and I was late to work. I'm going back to Google clock as well.

Beyond using another clock app? Not sure. Its been posted to the 1+ community boards. Little action there though.
This is a really weird issue. On mine only the first alarm wouldn't ring, then none. I installed the Google Alarm and it would sound for the second alarm but today didn't at all.
I wonder if it's something to do with hibernation?

Interesting thought. If you go into battery optimization the stock clock app is not even listed. I switched Google Clock over to "Don't optimize." might as well give it a try.
