I have tried all the alarms around the market and everyone works pretty the same way (you click on a field and it launchs a typical window with two sliders for hours and minutes)...
I just want one that shows you the time left while you are setting up the time on those sliders(to show you how time left you have). I dont need complex snooze methods, or a lot of options, just a quick alarm....
any one?
ok I got it... Alarm Klock, great!
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.
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!
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.
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.
