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'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.

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?

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.
So coming from a Nexus One I learned to rely on voice commands. I would always set the alarm by saying "set alarm for 6am" or whatever time I needed to wake up.
When I got my Sensation I learned that the voice commands work on it as well and that HTC didn't force me to use that Cybertron program (or something like that.) So I set it a few times and it was working fine.
Until last night, when I tried setting the alarm. Everything went fine, I said to my phone "set alarm for 7am" and cast off to slumberland... and that's when I didn't wake up.
As it turns out HTC has forced a limit of 10 alarms with their stupid skinning. And if you try to set an alarm using voice commands with these 10 alarms already there you won't get any error messages.
So moral of the story, if you plan on using Sense, and you use your phone as an alarm clock, always remember to remove the old alarms.
That does suck, but who needs 10 alarms?!
That's terrible dude! hope you didn't have anything too important to get to this morning
you could have just manually set the alarm....
whoops! That's good to know! Just in time, as I do the same thing... and woah, just hit 10 alarms!

From my understanding I don't think the OP has 10 alarms that he's using constantly but setting a brand new alarm for each time he needs one.

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.

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!

Also confirmed the issue
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.

Feel free to try the fix I stated in the comment above, it does work.
I'm using Alarm Clock Extreme Free until this gets sorted out.
I tried flashing DeskClock.apk from several diff JB roms (stock/AOKP/CM10) but it keeps giving force close :\
Does any have a good recommendation? I tried Timely, but it doesn't allow me to do anything on the touchscreen (snooze, dismiss, etc). I'm not sure why it doesn't work?
i noticed this as well. i think it has to do with having the fingerprint scanner. i noticed that i was able to snooze the alarm once i pressed and then scanned my finger print. definitely not convenient 1st thing in the morning!!!
i really hope the developer fixes this. i love timely!

I use Timely because it syncs to any Android device you use based on your Google account. Very convenient if you change phones often! No need to set up alarms for each device!

I've been using Gentle Alarm for years. Dev is fantastic at keeping it up to date as android evolves. No issues on latest version on my s6edge. I love that I can customize it to manage notifications (even keep battery full notifications from sounding and lighting) while allowing the phone to ring and alarm to sound. It has some neat options like a pre-alarm feature, if you believe in sleep rhythms. Highly recommended.
I use Sleep as Android for years. Love it
I've been using the stock Google Alarm clock that comes with Nexus devices. Just a nice plain material design with exactly what I need.
Timely works perfect.
I also use Timely. It worked great on my Nexus 5 but has been hit or miss on my S6. I can't always seem to snooze or dismiss the alarm from the lockscreen. It could have something to do with the lag of smart Lock not having the time to disable the fingerprint Lock.
It just wakes me up quicker now.
That's the problem I had with it. Both Alarm Clock xTreme and Morning have worked fine with snooze and dismiss.
