I wanted to set exceptions for do not disturb mode for calls/messages from my family AND alarms. The alarms toggle is grayed out under "custom" exceptions settings. I don't want alarms only, I want alarms and favorite contacts. Any ideas? (VZW - S8+)
It is grayed out because in custom mode alarms are always allowed. I use custom mode and my alarm wakes me up every morning.
You can try it for yourself. Set DND to custom and turn it on, then set an alarm for one minute from now. The alarm will sound.
If you see my picture, it's grayed out in the off position. After a reboot, it's now grayed out in the on position. All is well, thanks.

Didn't work for me
Did that actually work for you? Mine is greyed out in the on position as well but the alarm appears on the screen and still won't sound out loud when in do not disturb custom mode
Mine has always worked fine, then randomly yesterday evening I got a notification that do not disturbed activated and alarms are silenced.
No matter what I do, how many times I restart I cant get the alarms to be greyed out in the on position while using custom settings.
Anyone ever find a solution to this? Just realized mine had started doing the same after a missed alarm yesterday.
My note is doing the same thing now. alarms used to work fine on Do Not Disturb, but not anymore. I am with Verizon
I still get alarms sounding in custom DND mode. Which alarm app are you using? (I'm using the default.) Is your alarm app set for Priority Notifications?
My Galaxy S8+ just started doing this too. I recall that the alarm selection was not previously in the off position. Now it is and my alarm will not sound in do not disturb mode.

I checked my wife's phone and the alarm toggle is greyed out as well however it is in the on position.
I suspect that Android Auto is causing the problem. It forces the toggle to the OFF position somehow.
Are you guys using Android Auto or similar apps that toggles the DND mode?
You might just be on to something.
I use Android Auto quite a bit and I noticed that again the alarms slider is switched off.
Android Auto IS the cause!
I have been using the Do Not Disturb mode with custom notifications since I got my S8+ several months ago. The alarms we're always toggled on. Two days ago I installed Android Auto, the morning after I installed it was the first time my alarm did not go off. As soon as I saw the mention of Android Auto, in this forum, I said "aha!" Rebooting my phone fixed the alarm issue for the moment. Hopefully, I will not need to reboot my phone every night after using Android Auto.
Turn alarm on in do not disturb mode
To make sure your alarm works in do not disturb mode: go to sounds and vibration, click on do not disturb enable as scheduled, click on allow exceptions, click on priority app notifications, turn on the clock app as a priority app notification.

I've tried that. It doesn't work.
Opposite problem
I have custom exceptions set so that when do not disturb is scheduled at night, that my boss and employees can still call me. When I am at the theater and I manually select do not disturb, I really do not want an alarm going off. I discovered the hard way that they still do.
This is still a bug with Android Auto 2 years on ?*

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!
Well as I was going typically crazy to get back the actual Silent mode on LP builds and wasn't able to find anything I stumbled upon this settings, and this setting I think shadows the real Silent mode. I don't know if this how its supposed to be or just a bug, but this is working for me rather well now.
Steps are extremely simple too, follows as,
1- Just make sure all the three options under priority interruptions are untouched, Events, Calls, Messages all of them (because if you enable these the device will vibrate according to the selected notifications)
2- Put the device in Vibrate mode (Sound-Vibrate)
3- Then hit on the Priority Only option in notification toggles, the bloody Green Star will show, and it will say Vibrate(Priority) under Sound tab.
4- If you use Light Manager app control LED like me then put that app under Priority mode [Settings- Device- Sounds and notifications- Application notifications- Scroll down to select Light Manager app and set as Priority] [This step is must, not optional]
5- Now go to Light Manager's Advanced settings, scroll down and you will see an option labelled as Wake Screen (Wake up screen while generating LED notification), you MUST enable/tick this option, IF you want your phone's screen to turn on on every notification. If you don't tick this option the screen won't turn on for notifications, but the LED will keep blinking nevertheless, if you do Step 4 that is.
So Step 4 and Step 5 are MUST.
Done.
Now when you receive a text message your screen will turn on and there will be no vibration, no sound (obviously, still) and even if you miss the screen turning up then the LED will keep blinking. This is how actual Silent mode works, or used to work, all along.

Do comment if I am wrong in anywhere above, and if it works the same for you.

Yeah, you mean when I play a song right? Yes, it stays like that. When you control your volume when music is being played then only media volumes are affected, so notification volumes don't change, but that's how it is for pretty long time anyway.
Nice find, no "true" silent mode was a bit annoying. Not a fan of priority mode and waiting for 5.1 to get silent mode while using this half baked silent mode that comes with 0B6 was gonna be troublesome.
OB6 has Silent mode already under the sound button.
Also, why set to Priority only, if you can set to "No interruptions", which is same as unticking all and setting to "Priority only"?

Yeah but that isn't "true" silent mode, screen doesn't wake on notifications and no LED.
As for no interruptions, that would make everything silent, including alarms, so that is a deal breaker for many.
Those 2 are the reason why this workaround is best for users who want "true" silent mode.
LOL it seems like I have forgotten to mention the most important step, I mean the step which causes the screen to turn on for notifications, and it has nothing to do with the firmware either, its all in the Light Manager app.
I freshly flashed a ROM, so while resetting up stuffs I understood that I have missed to mention the most important step. Added to OP as 5th point, if you don't do this step then the screen will NOT turn on for incoming texts etc., but if you do this step the screen will turn on for anything, even WhatsApp messages and all, which wasn't the case even in KitKat or previous iterations. Thanks to the dev of Light Manager app for adding this great option.
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.
Just got it the other day, installed all the latest updates. Everything is working fine but do not see any notifications at all on the lock screen, the notification LED doesn't blink either. I have 'Do Not Disturb' enabled, not sure if it is the problem. The notifications in the settings are enabled. What am I doing wrong?
Do not disturb mode prevent notifications regarding calls and messages to prompt up except from contacts that you white listed. It'll silence any kinds of notifications too, so if you don't see notifications on lock screen (and relative led light) it's normal.
Please try disabling do not disturb mode and check if the issue persists.

Is the behavior of DnD on Honor devices different from DnD on Nexus devices? Because I've used DnD on both Samsung and Nexus devices, stock & custom and it would show ALL the notifications but without any kind of sound or vibrations. Only display badges/icons on the lock screen and pulsing LED. If DnD is disabled then yes the message tones ring and the phone vibrates. How can I make the same happen here?
Solved it. Seems like it was an issue with the theme, changed to another one from the Themes app and now it works as expected, meaning only notifications on the lock screen without sound or vibrations.
I'd never thought about that as cause of the issue. Good
Got the update yesterday. Alarm Clock Extreme quit working (sounds and notifications, the app shows the alarm working and can be disabled, but unless you are looking at the app you wouldn't know). Installed Alarm Clock Plus, same thing. Google Clock works but the volume keeps going to ZERO. Do Not Disturb is not enabled.
Any ideas? This is a Verizon Pixel 2. Thanks!

I use "Sleep as Android" and have not had any issues.
Thanks, John. I'll check that out now. Alarm Clock Extreme started working this morning, which is strange, it didn't have any recent updates.
