Can't snooze alarm on stock clock app - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I don't know why they still don't add this option in their app. Anyone have any recommendations for an alarm app with such a feature?

It's in the stock app, I use it every morning. You can toggle it on or off in each alarm you set up, make sure it's on.

Never seen or used a Samsung phone without a snooze function, going all the way back to the SGS. Not sure what you're (not) looking at??

If the stock app is not working well for you, you can change the default alarm app on the S8/S8+ (or any other Android phone that has a manufacturer's clock app pre-installed) as follows.
It's just slightly convoluted, but once you do, then you can seamlessly use the Google Assistant to set your alarms and timers with the standard Google Clock app instead of the stock Samsung Clock app which won't let you change any of its defaults, and has some really annoying features (like Bixby Briefing that is the default "sound" unless you change it manually every time you set up an alarm):
1) Download and install the Google Clock App
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.deskclock
2) Load up Google Now (not Google Assistant - the older version of Google Now that shows you news, weather, etc cards, along with the old standard Google search bar at the top that has a microphone icon on the right)
3) Launch the Google Now Voice Command with the blue microphone icon at the right of the search bar at the top of the Google Now page
4) Tell the Now assistant to "Set Alarm for 1 Minute From Now"
5) When it starts telling you that it is setting the alarm, you have about 1-2 seconds of time to tap the 3-dots at the top right and select the blue icon for the standard Google Clock app that you installed in step 1 as the default clock app. If you miss it, rinse and repeat until you get it.
That's it, from now on, both Google Now and the newer Google Assistant that you can launch from your home screen with "Ok Google" will set alarms with the Google Clock and not use the pre-installed Samsung (or LG, or Sony, etc) clock.
And I know for sure that the Google Clock has a working snooze mode.
As an added bonus, now you can also change the default alarm sound by using ES File Explorer to set a new sound file to the default.

That's auto snooze though. I want to manually snooze when it goes off.

wait.. what means auto snooze? and what exactly means "snooze when it goes off" ?
when alarm fire up, you got snooze button, and dismiss.. snooze button does what you set to do, for time you set

I have to push the snooze button to trigger it.
You can always disable the factory clock with the package disabler of your choice and install google's clock too.

Are you not seeing this?

nice. I recently posted a request for an alarm clock with certain features: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736987
only one of those is missing in this app, maybe you could have a look at that? would be really appreciated:
"- increasing ring after snooze (as in the first time the alarm goes of it starts at 10%. Then I snooze it and when it goes of the next time it starts at 30%, making me wake up faster. And so on for the next alarms after snoozing)"
of course standard features like increasing ring, set snooze time, .. need to be added as well
Nice. Will try it

I was planning something similar to this as an option but thanks for the idea, I'll look into adding it within the coming week. (Mine was over a minute or so to raise the volume from 1% to 100%)
what you describe is the "normal" increasing ring that increases every x seconds. it's pretty much a standard feature in every alarm app. what I'm requesting goes beyond that, hope you'll have a chance to do it

Yeah I'll make it an option, it should be easy to implement. I'll probably update the app monday/tuesday and if it's not in that one it should be included by friday.

[Q] How do you disable S Planner?

It's weird.. I can't disable it from my s6 Application Management, the option to "Disable" is greyed out. When I go into the S Planner app > Settings > Manage Calendars to switch off all the calendars it's grabbing from my google account.. something turns the calendars back on. Force stop, clear cache, clear data just re-enables S Planner again.
I prefer Google's Calendar app as my main calendar and because I can't disable S Planner I get double event notifications. Has anyone been able to turn it off? I'm not rooted.

Use debloater program for pc (use search on this forum). Install it, then connect your phone, wait a bit and scan packages. Look for S-planner and click the box next to it and click apply (this will disable the app). You can do this without root.
I simply disabled notifications
Thanks Juzh, I'll look into that.
In regards to the last post. Can you post where to disable that?
Sent from my SM-G920I using XDA Free mobile app
Go to application manager ... In settings. You can disable notifications for many apps (which stops them running in background as well as solving your s planner problem)
OK however my S Planner notification option is checked but greyed out to disable. Does yours toggle? Could be something wrong with my phone. Anyone else can disable like the last post mentioned?
Sent from my SM-G920I using XDA Free mobile app
Just go into the Samsung calendar app and turn off the notifications in the settings
There are a few ways to do this it seems. There is a setting called App notifications. Find S Planner. Click on the cog wheel for settings.
Turn notifications off.
This happened to me too!
I tried to switch over to google Calendar, but got double notifications. I wanted to uninstall it, but that was not possible. So I went into the permissions of the S-planner app and turned off all permissions.
From that point on, it kept sending me notifications that I had to give S-planner permission to read the calendar and other items. I couldn't even go into the app itself and tell the app to stop making these notifications because it would keep popping up a message that I had to set permissions to read calendar and then it would return to the main screen of the app.
In the end, I resigned to allowing it to read my calendar and then from the app itself turn off notifications.
So I still have the app, but i no longer have double notifications.
@Mainow, I have this too, it bothers me greatly. Did you get this fixed?
jjust use titanium backup and disable it their without truning off notification or something its called freeze in titanium back up
Package Disabler Pro
I use Package Disabler Pro. I used the free version for a bit but do like being able to kill S Planner, S Voice and all those other little hard to kill apps that come on the S6 (and S7). In the end I bought the app, but it was pretty cheap. Oh, also does not need root.
Hope this helps.

Well, I no longer get double notifications and s planner has stopped complaining about being able to read the calendars. So yeah, it's pretty much fixed. Only thing is that I would have rather just uninstalled s planner, because it's still there

Whoa. I haven't been on the forum a while. I thought I would have gotten an email if someone replied to my message.
Sorry for the VERY late answer
In short, no, i never got this fixed other than what i described. S-planner still is able to read my calendar, but I muted the notifications from the app itself

Looks like something to do with the weather, you have a storm/rain forecast on the other widget
Check different weather apps / widgets

Yes, it's removable. It's a blue GPS raindrop/teardrop trying to locate your current location for an app (lication).
Do the following:
1. Go to home screen and TAP bottom right (APPS), and proceed to SETTINGS.
2. TAP SETTINGS.
3. OPEN CONNECTIONS and TAP BLUETOOTH [2nd option] OFF (Just momentarily)
4. TAP LOCATION [9th option] OFF (Just momentarily) while still in Connections via SETTINGS.
5. In Settings go into NOTIFICATIONS to TURN OFF ALL APPS Getting Notifications (Just temporarily)
6. Last go into Settings, DEVICE MANAGEMENT and FIX ALL that is needed or where you see a number. Once your device is at 90% or higher, BEST @ 100%, THE GPS RAINDROP/TEARDROP IS GONE.
Problem Solved.
Now you can proceed to turn on whatever you want on, such as:
Bluetooth On,
Location On, and
ALL APPS Notifications ON (Pushable).

Best to just Google search for possible fixes, that's all I did
Seems like no-one knows exactly what causes it

I searched google for a few days in a row, but I did not find anything about it
Maybe it's more related with a bug in the system UI, because to me it doesn't look like a blue drop, but more like those "handles" to select text, don't you think?
If you remove your Clock/Weather widget, does the drop still appear? It could be a bug with your widget.
Also, if you try to click that "blue drop", what happens?
It seems like you've used an alternative launcher, an alternative clock/weather widget, alternative icons etc... So to investigate this, I would start looking in the apps I installed that have something to do with the customization of the home screen.
I hope this helps ; )
Blue tear drop
I got this in the middle of the home screen. Tapping it moved it to the top left. I rebooted into safe mode then from settings-apps-advanced-apps that can appear on top, disabled ones I thought had no need to do this. Skyp and samsung pay are two I don't use and disabled this permission (amongst others). Upon rebooting, the drop is gone. I should maybe pin this down to find the exact app but can't be bothered. Also this is disabling the drop but possibly not whatever it was representing.
Hope this helps.
It is a bug from messenger. Idk why, but if you're using the chat heads, you're typing something, and then minimize the chat, this blue drop can appear. I guess it's a bug from s7 Nougat, because since I updated to Oreo this bug has never happened to me again. But if you're on Nougat yet, you can do these steps to remove the drop:
1: In the recent apps tab, messenger must be there. If it is not, then open messenger, and go to home screen again.
2: Grab the messenger chat heads, and slide it into the bottom of the screen to remove it.
3: Now go to the recent apps tab, and remove messenger.
This should close messenger, and the blue drop should be gone.
I guess you can also go into settings, apps, messenger, and force stop, then the blue drop will be gone as well(but doing the steps above is easier), and then you just open messenger again, and whenever this drop appears, you just close messenger again.
Forse stop Facebook messenger and open it again
Its a bug ?

Question Best fully working Gestures app for MIUI13?

Have been a great fan of Vivid Navigation Gestures for years, until I switched over to Xiaomi 12S Ultra and realized I couldn't make it work despite disabling all battery optimizations & enabling all permissions. Which gestures app can work properly without it closing by itself after long lock periods, and allow me to disable the navbar?

all of them can do it you just need to know what to change in miui settings.
I use FNG.
* disable miui battery optimization
* enable autostart
* go to apps -> system app settings -> security -> boost speed -> lock apps (enable fng)
* pull down notification shade and switch to toggles, click on the edit icon. drag the fng toggle to your "added toggles"
in the rare case where FNG is shut down you can just pull down the toggles shade disable enable it and you're back in business.

I have already done all these but VNG still shuts down way too often ( I have to re-enable maybe >10x a day). Any other settings I'm missing?
any thoughts?

Try FNG instead. I got max 3 restarts a day
3 a day is still a lot. Is there any gestures app that has a no-kill notification service?
In addition, that app was not maintained since 2019

3 is better than 10, I don't know why it happens. If you are rooted you can try making this an admin app. Maybe that will prevent it from restarting
is there any easy way to root the phone without bricking it? Thank you.
This is the solution. Need to stop Miui from closing app.
Swipe up and hold to enter app tabs. Press and hold on FNG, then press the lock icon.
This stops the system from closing.
as shown in screenshots above, locking it doesn't prevent auto-close by system.

Oh I forgot to mention I'm on Xiaomi.eu rom.
can I port to eu ROM while maintaining all my apps, configs, settings?
No. It may be a different ROM branch and may have different partition differences as well as system apps being non Chinese versions. You might find it just boot loops if you do.
Just make sure you back everything in Google back up and have it set for auto restore and most settings and apps will get put back on with settings via the Google back up after you configure the Google account once flashed and formatted.

Finally I think I found a way to make FluidNG working without any breaks. Just use tasker and create a task that FluidNG (or your favourite gesture app) starts when you unlock your screen. Second: launch app "go to home screen". That's it. Working for a few days perfectly.

Can't understand what is it and how i can diable it.....
Try to restart the phone in secure mode but this second clock is still here on thé lockscreen.....
That's letting you know about an upcoming alarm. It's not a second clock. You have to go into the Google at a glance settings to disable it

The screen you pention seems to be the one I scearch but I don't know where to find it in parameters....
It's in the Google assistant settings. Either through the Google app or through your phone settings if you don't have that installed. You could try searching settings for at a glance and see if it will take you right there.

Don't really understand what it can be cause I have no alarm set and this 'time alarm' change many time in the day (everytime the time come to this alarm the alarm will change to 15 or 10 minutes.....) really don't know what can it be.....
try to disable all the feature on this screen but this 'alarm' still there.....
Try something else but without more result, i disable google clock app and set an alarm on sleep as android, but the 'alarm' on my lockscreen don't look like sleep as android alarm but always a 10 minutes after the actual hour.....
Just try to un install sleep as android and this "alarm" still here in my lockscreen, really don't know what can it be..
Made me crasy for a so little thing....
That is bizarre. I totally get it though. It would annoy me too

So is the problem solved or not?? If not, I'd bet a dollar its Tasker....Preferences - Monitor - set Use Reliable Alarms to Never. And I think you need to restart Tasker
That should do the trick.
And if its not that, try to delete storage for the Clock app.
I had the same problem, and it was tasker, and setting "use reliable alarms" to "never" as posted above solved it.
