I noticed that every time an event reminder goes off on my Tab it starts an alarm that just keeps going off till deactivated. On my phone it would just give me a simple notification sound. Has anyone else noticed this and have you found a way to disable it? I have it set to status bar notification under set alarms & notifications, but I still get the actual alarms (and its a rooster crowing which is quite annoying when I have stepped out for a smoke and it is just going off in my office.)
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this...

i have this problem 2 times now. both times i had to hard reset the unit. after i reset it, everthing goes back to normal. calendar alarms will ring 30 mins before the due meeting.
then suddenly it doesn't ring anymore. i checked the settings for sounds and notifications and it's checked on nofitication (alarms, reminders). but it doesn't ring. only my alarm clock rings. i keep missing my meetings because of this.
can someone pls help? thanks
you can check this application:

it improves among other things alarms, so that they are called and repeated for required time, even if sound swithced off.
Greetings,
My wife and I both have the Samsung Focus S phones on AT&T running the 7720.68 build. Mine is dev. unlocked and hers is stock.
Both of our phones duplicate alarms and reminders. For instance, if I set a calender reminder for 1:00 today, when 1 comes around my phone will alert me. I then have to dismiss at least 2 of the same reminders; usually there are 4.
My wife's phone does the same with alarms that she sets. Additionally, hers will not snooze an alarm. Pressing snooze does silent the alarm, but half of the time the alarm never goes off again.
Does anyone else have the same problems? Is this a known issue? Are there any solutions (other than throwing the phone in the river)?
Thanks.
Hi All,
I have an AT&T Inspire 4G in which the "Notification Sound" is going off ALLLLLLL day and this morning, like it does it about 10 times with a 3 minute quiet time, then it sounds off again! I've gone in and changed all of my ringtones (email, texts, alarms, etc.) so I could pinpoint which one is doing it and it's the "Notification Sound" feature. What application is attached to this sound, as in, what does the alert mean?
I'm afraid to turn that notification off totally in case it's something I need to read. Can anyone tell me which one this is, and why it keeps going off?
Thanks a million! Starr
hmm, if i have several notifications, gmail, stuff like that. from the lock screen, if i clear them all(button at the end of the list) i hear my notification tone after they clear.
ideas or anyone else ??
Has anyone found a solution for this problem.?
Here is a better description of the problem.
When I clear notifications that it makes the sound for the notification that is being cleared. For example, if I get 5 Gmails and I clear the notification for them it will trigger my incoming Gmail notification 5 times.
Anyone figured this out?
I have the same issue!!! Is it a setting somewhere? I also have the S3 Watch and it makes the notifications on it too...
I have this problem too. I *might* be related to having a setting in GMail that I have turned on to notify for every message. But if this is turned off, I don't get new notifications for emails if I have an outstanding notification already, which sucks for getting notifications on my watch.
Same here, its pretty annoying.
Hello all,
I use Smart connect to put my phone into 'Do not disturb' over night while i sleep. However, since one of the last updates i have noticed that this does not mute notifications, it sort of pauses them until the phone reverts back to normal sounds and then all the notification sounds come through.
I just want to check if this is just me or is anyone seeing this strange behaviour. It didn't used to do that and its a pain when my phone jumps back to normal and i get all sorts of different apps pinging away at the same time.
Cheers
Bump....
Anyone else noticed this?
Yes, the same thing happens on my phone as well. It is to be expected though, or do you want to lose all your notifications?
In case the sounds it makes after dnd is over annoy you, you have to set the notification/call volume before you go enter dnd, as that previous value gets restored in the morning.

Thanks for the reply, good to know its not just me.
The thing is I get up at 04:30, so when my phone comes out of dnd, I sometimes get a dozen notifications just pinging away. The 'correct' way I want it to work is that the notification appears but it just silences the notification not wait until dnd is over to give them all at once. Thanks, I will have a play around with notification sound.
You can adjust the behaviour of DND on quite a granular level. Go to Sounds -> Do not disturb -> Notifications -> Custom and choose "Don't turn on the screen", "Don't blink light", 'Don't wake for notification".
You can also adjust who gets to call you during DND and whether you want Alarms to sound.
