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.
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!
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.
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 ?*
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.
