Best Repeat Alarm Clock app?

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?

[Q] Alarm to set off 2 hours before an Event

I like to track my work hours via my Google Calendar (in its own calendar called Work Shifts).
So, what would be super cool would be if any knows of an app that would allow me to be able to make the phone sound an alarm (not a notification, a proper alarm like you get in the Clock app) a set time before the event, say 2 hours.
My shifts change often, but I would like to definitely know I have a work shift when they're in the afternoon and the alarm to wake me up in the mornings in time for work.
If anyone knows of such an app, please let me know!
And no, I can't be bothered to set up multiple alarms in the Clock as my shifts will change weekly.

Phone: HTC Sensation
OS: HTC Sense 3.0 (unfortunately :-()

Have you tried using Latitude? It will tell your how many hours per week you spend at home, work & out.

Latitude has nothing to do with alarms... I don't want to know how long I've been there, I need an alarm to set off two hours before my shift... That's all.

What are you on about?

Anyone beta test my app?

I have been working on this app with quite a while now, it's an app that you can enter start time and a end time and days of the week, when it gets to the start time it mutes your phone and when it hits the end time it un-mutes your phone. eg if you are going to college it will mute your phone when college starts and when college is over it will un-mute your phone .
Please try it out and tell me what you think and report any errors or any new features you would like to see, i tried to keep it as basic and as easy as possible to use.
edit : anyone testing my app could they turn on wifi so i can get report back on if there was any errors Thank
edit: Thanks everyone for testing(file removed)

Seems to work perfectly on my galaxy s...very simple n very effective...:thumbup:...just a suggestion..can u add profiles like vibration only, silent without vibration etc
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA

Awesome idea for an app!!!
Tested On stock rooted atrix 1, quick mute wont revert to previous state if you cancel it....
As been said, would be nice that it switches to vibrate instead of pure silence, or at least an option to do so...
In fact, just finished the programmed time and it wont "unmute" the phone... So it is having problems going back to "normal".
Dorry for my bad english

When you set the alarm and then delete it its not suppose to go back to normal mode but sure i will put it in

Humm.. I didin't delete it,, just canceled.
Anyway, when you schedule an alarm, lets say from 00.00 to 00.05, the alarm triggers and the phone goes into silent, but at 00.06, when it is supposed to return to the previous state, it won't do so, instead, it remains in silent mode...

Starting to get really pissed off at this phone-might return unless I can get answers

Here are some things that are really driving me crazy, to the point where I'm considering returning the phone for the s3 or iPhone:
-Sending sms messages (using handcent app) I often get the 'unable to send message' notification, even when I have full service. The notification repeats over and over again until I delete the message.
-Google voice voicemails not sending notifications. I can't see if I have any received any voicemails until I open google voice and all the sudden all the notifications come in.
-no 'favorites' tab on the phone app. Favorites exist under groups, but for some reason you can't put the favorites down on the menu to make quick calls easier.
-uploading photos to facebook using 'facebook for htc sense' or regular facebook app often freeze part-way through, even with good wifi connection.
-Often times when I delete emails on the gmail app they still appear in my inbox when I view gmail on my computer. Also can't seem to make gmail automatically update upon opening.
-CALENDAR NOTIFICATIONS: Even when I turned off the facebook calendar sync so I wouldn't get 20 birthday reminders every day, the notifications still won't go away. Anything I put in the calendar pops up on the lock screen every single time, even the day before sometimes. Should I use a different calendar app? I like using the 'productivity' lock screen, but this "feature" is killing me.
Would rooting/ROMing fix these issues? I'm afraid to do it because I'd still like to be able to return the phone if the issues persist.

It's a new device htc, and our devs are still fixing bugs. But with a thread title like that, it wouldnprobably be best of you returned it.
But a few of you issues are know, and some are user related. I don't think Gmail has ever auto updated when opened just click the refresh button.

1. Use the stock SMS app and see if it still happens. You can't get mad at a phone if you aren't using the app meant for it. Switching phones won't fix this issue.
2. Thats due to crappy multitasking, check out one of the Custom ROMs out there or Scott's multitasking fix. Or one of the AOSP ROMs.
3. You can add favorite people to the homescreens. And I believe this is not unique to this phone.
4. Try a custom ROM, I've never had that issue.
5. Thats the normal way the gmail app behaves. Its not weird or this phone's fault.
6. You need to disable what calendars you want to see and which you don't. Its somewhere under settings inside the calendar app, google it. I had this same quibble but i fixed it by finding the setting for it. Disable "Facebook Birthdays" or something as a calendar.

return it, bye

Please don't leave us. We owe you so much.

An s3 would probably make you happier. The reason you are getting a better response here is because we have had so many omg this phone sucks, omg it blah blah blah, the insert phone here never did this threads its annoying to the existing HOX users.

I know how to turn off certain calendars. I'm not getting the facebook birthdays anymore. What bothers me is that on any day where I have something in the calendar, I get a reminder for it every time I see the lock screen. Once would be enough, especially when the reminder starts the day before the event.

i wish there was a forum where there was a bunch of grown ups talked about real issues, and mods and what not...and not all these baby OMG this phone sucks stuff. Go get the s3 you know what...you'll have issues there too, go get the iphone...you know what you'll have issues there...if a device was perfect there would be NO reason to upgrade. I just can't stand looking at anymore of these stupid threads. I work with two girls one has the iphone and the other the s3....iphone fell on the floor two days ago shattered the stupid glass they have on it...the other that has the s3 has three scratches. I dropped my one x it bounced all over the tile floor...flawless. just saying.

Whaaa Whaaa Whaaa , wow that's all it takes to Piss you off? Especially when there's world hunger and disease running rampant in other countries? Want something to really be pissed about? I paid 12 dollars for a long island iced tea and I didn't even get a buzz.

I'd return the phone if I was you. I think you'd be happier with something simpler like an iPhone. I happen to like tinkering, hence the one x.

1. You can't blame HTC for something not working right with software that you put on the phone yourself.
2. Gmail never auto updates when you open it.

Friday's has a wicked ultimate long island. Pretty sure it's cheaper than $12 and definitely gets you buzzed. 4 of them and I'm done for.

I agree, they're pretty good. That's what I usually get at Fridays. That or their electric lemonades. It really depends on what bartender you get. It can be hit or miss. I've had some really good cocktails there and some really bad ones.

It sounds like that's because you have an all-day event, so every time you see the lock screen that day, that all-day event appears on top. I'm assuming you are using the productivity lock screen.
The solution is simply: when you turn on the screen and see your lock screen, swipe left on the name of the event. That will show the next appointment for today (or the next all-day event, in which case you need to swipe some more). Next time you turn on the phone and see the lock screen, it will show the upcoming event and no longer the all-day event. Doing the swipe is equivalent to dismissing the reminder on the lock screen.

Don't rely on the stock alarm app

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.

Ive been using Alarm Clock Xtreme(paid) for almost 2 years without a single problem.

I play the piano for a church and overslept the entire morning... lost a whole days pay... crappy.

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.
