I keep trying to set the alarm And I do to a point but, it ring then turns off after a bit is there a way to set it up too keep playing till I manually turn it off ? Or just keeps repeating
It actually turns off after a minute which is unfortunate. I haven't used my phone as an alarm clock cuz I have alternative devices for that function. I suggest using "Alarm Clock Plus" as its full featured although it doesn't look as nice.

I've been using alarm clock extreme for a long time now. Tons of features, easy to use and it turns 85% of the screen into a big "snooze" button when it's going off

Hi everyone, I'm looking for the right alarm app for my purposes. I need the following features:
1. Large snooze button with difficult Dismiss button. I should preferably have to clear the alarm by going into the menu and turning them off. There should be basically no way that I can hit Dismiss on accident.
2. Per-alarm Snooze length. I like having the snooze be 10 minutes at first.. but if it's getting close to the time that I need to be up, I need it to be more like 2-3 minutes.
Klaxon works for the most part, but it kills my battery very quickly if I don't have it plugged in. I think it's because it keeps the screen on constantly. Maybe there's a way to turn this off? Also, with Klaxon, if my hand happens to hit the Snooze button (even while the alarm is not going off), the Snooze time gets reset. I think this may cause problems.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
youre basically asking for the windows mobile app "g-alarm" right?
no there is nothing exactly like that on android as far as i know (unfortunatly )
anway i use "math alarm clock" at the moment which is also a very versatile app. it lacks the decreasing snooze and the big snooze button though.
I use Good Morning by Flywheel. It's in the app store. Has a large snooze button. You should try it out. This one does not keep the screen lit.
Alarm Klock isn't bad.

Alarm pro ver. 2 uses teh math dismiss. It's essentially the 2.x alarm with varying snooze options and math capability for dismissal. Icon for it is a red bell alarm. Come to think of it though, it might be called alarm clock plus or something close to that...
Gentle Alarm works great for me, you can limit the number of snoozes, the "I am awake" button is small and requires acknowledgement before it'll shut off the alarm, and you can even have a "follow the path" style dismissal method similar to the lock screen security unlock dots if you want to make sure your brain is turned on before managing to turn off the alarm.
What I also like is that it has a "pre" alarm which wakes you up during a light portion of your sleep cycle if you're already in light sleep. Basically just means you're already almost awake, and you'll wake up easily. It basically just starts a very light and quiet alarm a configurable time before your real alarm. If you're in deep sleep you won't hear it, otherwise it'll wake you up during the right cycle of your sleep pattern. Much better than being startled awake in deep sleep.
And it works 100% of the time, never failed me.
Another vote for gentle alarm. Really really good, never failed to wake me up. Trial is fully functional just doesn't play alarm on wednesday.

+1 more for Gentle Alarm.
So here's the deal. my clock automatically updated to daylight savings time. and my alarm was set for 555 It did not go off until 655. Anyone else have this issue? I reset and resaved the alarm hopefully this fixes the 1 hour difference for tomorrow morning.

Didn't have my alarm set, however that's not surprising. When you set the alarm it gives you the message stating it's being set for x amount of hours from now. So it gives the impression that it's operating more as a count down timer internally rather than basing it off the actual time.

Try this:
Go in the phone ap
Go to the"world clock" tab
Long press on the city you are using
Go to "DST Settings"
Make sure it is set to "Auto"
On my phone the time in notification bar and fancy widget auto updated but the setting I pointed you to above was set to off so the alarm was still on standard time even though the phone was on DST.
Same here
Same results here and my World Clock DST was already on automatic. I'm going to recreate the alarms and test.
mine woke me up at exactly the time I set it for. I'm running Froyo 2.2.1, if that makes a difference.
I reset the alarm this appears to have worked. now if I can remember to reset this fall I'll be fine.

Is there any application that will trigger alarm on hourly basis?
I have found some application that will trigger sound every hour, but often i don't notice that sound, so i want actual alarm or something similar.
Try "Bellman" on the market. Can chime hourly, every half hour, or every 15 minutes.
Also, try "HourlyChime."
I don't want chime. I want alarm that will ring for some time.
I know that Alarm Clock Plus offers an hourly alarm but I have not tested it.

I'd like to know why my Nexus One when it crashes it always starts on Jan 1st 1980...
Tested Alarm Clock Plus, but only thing i was able to found was nap feature, which will trigger alarm after X minutes. But that means that i will have to set it manually each hour.

In Alarm Clock Plus try Menu, Settings, Hourly Chime Settings.
Hope that helps!

Hi, anyone know if there is a music app that you can set your playlist for a specific time (30 mins) and while it starts paying at the regular set volume, it gradually fades it out completely within that 30 minutes until turning off after the pre-set time (30 mins later)? Would be a nice way to go to sleep and such Thanks
I don't know of a music app but I know the sleep tracking app Sleep as Android (great app btw!) has a feature where you can set a time such as 30 minutes and at that time the app will decrease and mute the media volume .
Or use tasker to do something like when music player is playing for x minutes set volume to y and then so on and so fourth.
Thanks...I cant seem to find that feature in the sleep as android app...maybe it comes in the paid version....tasker is pretty complicated for me as I never used it before....wish someone would make a simple user friendly sleep app that does this

Thanks, I think this might be as close to what Im looking for as it gets. Maybe at some point they will let you adjust the fader to begin from the start of the timer. For now its better then anything else I tried
I think its Juice Defender Ultimate screwing it up. I have 2 alarms. 1st one doesnt go off ive been using a different alarm for the first one at 530 cause it aint going off. but the second one is fine. i guess cause i wake my phone. any solutions
Stop using juice defender when your sleeping. Turn it on once your awake
I"m using JD Ultimate 3.8.7beta with Alarm Clock Xtreme (free)... and have no problems... but JD has a TON of settings you need to experiment with to fit your particular set of rqmts. I use Advanced settings in JDU and i have multiple alarms set in Alarm clock Xtreme... and JDU does not interfere with alarm settings.
I use alarm clock extreme as well. I set one alarm on the stock app. And one on extreme just incase
I'm having problems with mine as well and I don't use any kind of battery saving app. When I put my phone on snooze it will just turn its self off. I tried a factory reset and its still not working.
