I can't get the stock alarm clock to work (using the Clock application).
I first tried it when I took a nap, I told Google Now to set an alarm clock for a certain time. I never woke up so I tested it out a bit.
The stock alarm clock, when it reaches the time, will ring for a split second, then stop. It will not ring for any more. The alarm appears in the notification as if it is working properly, asking for dismiss or snooze. But it just won't play.
Any solution to this?
I have the exact same problem...

The issue is with screen lock, try to disable screen lock and it should work, I believe there is one more type of screen lock also work, but the rest bom out. It's a bug with JB.
I'm not getting sound when my alarm clock goes off. Does it suddenly require me to have my notifications volume on? Didn't have to with my S4. Thanks.

If you have blocking mode switched on during times when your alarm clock is supposed to go off you need to go to Blocking mode settings and tick a checkbox that allows the alarm to use sound
No I don't use blocking mode. And I think my alarm clock makes noise, probably the timer though that just vabrates. I can't remember too well because I posted this right after I woke up late haha

get another alarm app
i like Alarm Clock Xtreme
i always set 2 alarm just in case one of them not go off.
Does anyone else find it absolutely the alarm's snooze function to be completely ridiculous that the you have to:
1) Enable an option just to be able to snooze an alarm
2) Can then only snooze a preset, non-configurable, three times in five minute intervals
3) Once the alarm goes off the actual snooze button is tiny. Like 1"x3/4" big. You have to try and tap this while fiddling with your phone in the middle of sleep. You can't just slide your finger across the phone to a preset snooze area as you could with all other galaxy phones that I can remember.

Never tried that and I'm not sure. Will try tonight once my wife is home since she is the one with the phone. I was just creating the thread to get discussion going because she didn't know there was no snooze until the alarm went off this morning. But even if the home button does snooze, it will only snooze if the option has been set and then will only snooze three times, and to top it off only in five minute intervals. Why can't that be changed?

i dont know how the alarm and snooze thing work on the S6, but on my S4 i can snooze it with the home button without even waking up, and i can snooze every alarm 10 times, with 3 minutes between every two rings....hope its the same with the S6 because i am planning on getting one soon....

I'll post a screenshot tonight but I do know that when you go to add an alarm that there is an area under the time that you select for 'Options'. That expands the window and you have a few options like vibrate, change the ringtone, increase volume as alarm goes on, and there is Snooze. Selecting it sets snooze to go off three times in five minute intervals....no ifs, ands, or buts about it. It won't go off repeatedly until you turn of the alarm and can't adjust the intervals. That is really my (and my wife's) biggest issue with it that you can change the intervals and that is a preset three times that can't be changed. So you won't be able to set it to your liking of "with 3 minutes between every two rings"

+1 for Timely.
IMO, there's not much use complaining about system apps like this that are so easily replaceable. Just download one you like better!
Yep, Timely all the way. I don't even know what the alarm of my current phone (LG G3) looks like, been using Timely since day 1..
Snooze shouldn't even be a feature at all. Just get your butt up when your alarm goes off...
Maybe everyone should have to go to the military for a few years. That would fix your snooze problem right up. ☺

This. My wife hits snooze like 3-4 times before she gets up, I get up when my alarm first goes off. It's funny and annoying really, we both get up at 5:20 but her stupid alarms always wake me up earlier.
It's a bit ridiculous that they removed functionality from the prior generations. I am coming from an S4 and the default alarm app was perfect, could choose snooze duration and amount of times and setting up a repeat was as easy as tapping the days I wanted the alarm to ring on. I know default apps are easy to replace, it's just unfortunate that I now need to use a new app for functionality that always used to be there. </rant>

It is unfortunate, but as others have said - Timely is awesome.
How in the hell do they fudge something like that up.
Sorry if I'm gravedigging, but the Google clock available from the Play Store allows you to adjust the snooze interval. With root, I was able to uninstall the Samsung clock in Titanium Backup so the Google clock is the default.
Thanks so much for the timely recommendation. I was having a hard time finding an app that gestures would work with.
How do I get rid of my alarm icon. I don't have any alarm set never did it just came on the other day and I can't get rid of it I go into my clock app and there are no alarms set
I fixed it
The icon was lit up because I have a schedule recording on TuneIn Radio. Never had it before guess it's a new thing since I updated the app last week
Hi,
Is there any possibility to make as default a third-party alarm (watch) app instead of the built-in Samsung watch?
I am using a better one (for me), namely AMdroid that has wider configuration possibilities (e.g. alarm at every 48 hours) and also has good smartwatch integration. But it has one problem: the alarm cannot appear on the Flip3's outside small screen, so every time I have to open the phone in order to stop the alarm. If I could somehow make the AMdroid as default alarm app, maybe I would handle it on the small screen too.
Yep, this is a real problem... . I'm using sleep as my alarm app and it doesn't appear at the front screen at all, so not even as the next alarm :-( That's a pitty ... .
m.
Also use a third-party alarm. But I love it that it can't utilize the coverscreen. I never accidentally press snooze anymore as I really have flip the phone open etc.
Me neither but it would be nice to see the alarm in the front screen widget at least.
