Hey guys--
I've noticed an issue with the stock clock app since upgrading to KK. It adds a notification 2 hours before any alarm with the option to disable it, which is fine but unnecessary and it makes my status bar very sloppy since there's 2 alarm icons at that point. I'd rather just disable it.
I've researched and supposedly there's a setting in the clock app to disable it if you go to settings from the alarm screen. That doesn't seem to be the case in my version. Does anyone know if Moto removed that from their skin?
Any other ideas how to resolve this?
One idea I saw was to disable the clock app's permission for making a notification. Tried that, and the second icon did indeed still gone, obviously. But the alarm didn't work right. It sounded, but the screen didn't go on and the phone didn't vibrate. When I woke it up manually, the sound kept going off, but the only way to dismiss the alarm was to launch the app and turn the slider to off because no alarm screen ever appeared.
Any other ideas how to more successfully disable that notification?
Thanks!

[SOLVED]
Here's a weird problem. I am NOT using the stock alarm system in Android, I am instead using the Kaloer clock application. I have all of the alarms off and deleted from the stock application, but the icon is still showing at the top. Does Kaloer clock enable the stock alarm icon? It has it's own built in icon so I wouldn't think so, but I'm wondering if I can get it turned off since I'm not using the stock alarm application.
[Solution:]
In the newest update of Kaloer clock, there is now an option to turn off the stock alarm icon as well as the Kaloer icon.
Thanks!
was wondering the samething?
I use Alarm Clock Plus & there's an option in settings to hide the alarm icon. You could try that, but I don't know how to do it with the app you use.
Turned off
The weird part is I have it turned off in the Kaloer clock app too. But I still get the icon at the top. If I reboot the phone, the icon goes away until the next time I run the Kaloer clock app. So I know it's linked to that app and not a general glitch. There's just no other way for me to turn it off and I find it kind of irritating since I'm anal retentive and don't want excess icons at the top of my screen.
Hoping someone can help me with this issue:
One of the "voice command" apps I was using set an alarm, and now I can't get the alarm icon to go away from the notification bar. I'm using a TouchWiz-based ROM (Synergy), but the clock app doesn't show any alarms set/active. In fact, I deleted every alarm and the icon is still there. I'm sure it's something that one of the "voice command" apps set, but can't figure out how to remove it. I even uninstalled all the voice command apps I use, and it's still there.
Is there a way to see all active clock alarms outside of the TouchWiz Clock app?
Thanks much.
##Edit: Figured it out. Alarm had been set using a desk clock app while in dock that is different from normal alarm.
On my old Nexus phone, when the google alarm clock would go off the screen would automatically light up to dismiss or snooze the alarm. On my F8331 on 7.0, the default sony alarm clock seems to require one of two things: either unlock the phone then find the alarm notification, then dismiss or snooze; or press a side button. I'm new to Xperia devices so forgive my ignorance but am I missing something to allow the alarm to wake the screen for dismissal? Trying to stick with the stock sony clock here too...
It's lighting/waking up the screen correctly on my 7.0 XZ?
Perhaps stamina mode is causing that effect if you happen to have it turned on.
Definitely not normal behaviour. Did you try clearing data/cache for the Alarm or Clock app?
Figured it out. It's bc of do not disturb+block visual disturbances+block when screen is off in the settings, sounds. Google clock ignores this (wakes the screen at alarm) however Sony clock does not. Just have to set the off time for do not disturb before the alarm goes off :good:
Thanks Racejal, it works now
The built in alarm clock in Marshmallow is working fine for me. However one function has been disappeared.
I often snooze the alarm, and then want to dismiss it before the end of the snooze period.
Example: Get alarm or snooze display at 10 o'clock. Choose snooze, so alarm will go off again at 10:10. But at 10:05 I decide I don't want the alarm any more and want to switch the snoozing off and dismiss the alarm.
In previous version of Android, this was easy. Whenever phone was snoozing, there would be a notification in the notification pull down screen that I could just tap, and that switched off the snooze and dismissed that alarm.
In Marshmallow this has disappeared. There is a workaround by going into clock settings, switching the alarm off and then switching it on again so it would work the next day. But this is very clumsy.
Does anyone know how to get the notification back so it works as before?
Solved
After hours of changing app settings, and system settings, I finally tracked this problem down to Clean Master. There's a setting for battery optimization in Clean Master which had been switched on and which I switched off, and the snoozed alarm showed up in Notifications as it always had before.
Warning: I had never used Clean Master although it had always been on my phone as I downloaded it early on. Something changed this setting, it wasn't me and it was not using Clean Master.
I have noticed that changing certain settings can populate other apps with changed settings. No way of telling this has happened or which apps. I would say this is a major drawback with Android. Or downloadable Apps.
Hi guys.
Just updated my galaxy s7 to android 7.0 nougat.
For some reason the alarm icon is constantly displayed in the notification bar.
How do I get rid of it?
I have heard about system ui tuner.
It should allow me to remove the icon. But I can't enable ui tuner.
I have hold down on the settings icon for 10 seconds. It still doesn't show up.
Please help. Thanks.
Deleted all alarms even if they are not active?
No I haven't deleted them. I need them. I just don't need to be reminded that I have alarms active.
Before I updated android the icon would first appear some time before the alarm went off.
Can't remember exactly how long before, let's say an hour.
Yea I noticed the icon stays there as long as you have alarms set, even if none are due

i use this program and get rid of the nfc icon too it works great
Had a play about with the alarms today, and as long as they are switched off (They can still remain set) then the icon disappears
Only when they are turned on, even if the time and date has passed, the icon will show
