yesterday after updating some apps from the playstore (but maybe it had nothing to do with it), an alarm clock icon appeared under the clock widget and another icon was on the bar, next to the battery and the wifi signal. The one on the desk was indicating a time.. but I had not programmed anything!! .. I couldn't remove these, also cleaning up everything from Clock, cleaning up the cache ... I had to do the hard reset.
Has anyone else experienced this bug? Maybe was there another way to solve it?
Believe me or not.. today the clock icon reappeared but I just discovered the cause.
The News suite app!! It's the news generator from Sony mobile. I use it on every phone I buy, is not bad. I just delete it from the phone and the alarm icon definely disappeared.
Crazy stuff...

[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.
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!
I didn't really know what to search to find an answer to this question, so I'm sorry if it has already been posted. I have a full stock nexus and the default launcher, sometimes I notice a little + sign where the home screen indicators are. I know it's used to add a new home screen, but I don't want it there. And when I scroll all the way to the right there's an extra blank home screen. Does anyone know if it's possible to get rid of this?
Question 2: I have a repeating alarm set every morning with the stock alarm app. I've noticed that sometimes the alarm icon in the notification bar will disappear, and only come back up if I tap on the alarm in quick settings. The alarm is still set and still goes off.
Neither of these are really issues, just nuisances, and for all I know they could be "features". But any help would be much appreciated, thank you!
for #1, just place something on the homescreen then remove the item.

Thanks! Will it still pop up anymore or do I have to do that every time?

I just noticed #2 happening on my N5 as well. I figured maybe it was because I have made some status bar changes with Xposed Framework + Gravity Box, but I guess not. Probably a bug of some sort. What's weird is I've seen it come and go randomly too when just looking at my screen. Oh well. Kind of bugs me, but not a huge deal since my alarm still goes off every morning.
I have the same problem on my Nexus 7 and Nexus 5. I guess it's more of an annoyance than a problem.
I have had this problem for a while now, usually goes away if I bring an icon over to a new page then back, or if I restart my phone.
I have since switched back to Nova as they have implemented many kit kat GEL like additions, and I used this on my nexus 4, missed a lot of the swipe features and icon packs
home screen
You restore you N5 in the company setting....
Many be Issue is the some missing file....
I've had the problem with the blank home page several times on my N5 and adding/removing an item to the page removes it. It's always a extra page to the right of the last active page.
I have a daily recurring alarm and I only see the alarm icon two hours before the set time. In the notifications I have the option to dismiss the alarm early.
I do have an issue with HD Widgets which lives on the home (first) screen. Sometimes the widget becomes embedded on the page -- I will see what appears to be overlaid images. I first noticed what appeared to be two sets of temperatures (I use the weather widget with three or five day forecast). The easiest way to correct the problem is to drag the widget to a new page at the end, delete the home page which now displays the widget as a background image, then re-order the pages. This has never occurred on my N4 or N7 which are set up similarly except that the home page is the middle page.
Hi there,
just figured out what was messing up my icons and making them look as if they're broken or sth. ... so basically simply toggling on and off the setting 'Normalize icon size' in the Look & Feel section makes the icons screw up. And that's not only the icons on your desktop but also the icons in the app drawer. So just never toggle that option... EVER .. just let it be. And you'll be all good. I figured making regular back-ups is a great thing so .. take advantage of that.
If its too late already and u've already screwed things up, then reinstall Nova launcher ... that fixed the problem for me.
This is the problem
Well ... was too good to be true. Now I just got the same error, this time NOT caused by the above-mentioned reason, though. What a bummer. Reinstalling didn't fix anything this time
The fix however might be hiding in enabling 'Aggressive desktop' under advanced settings.
It's still there I have Nova Launcher Prime v.4.2.0 and the problem is that when I enlarge the icon size of icons on desktop and in app drawer and then simply toggle 'Normalize icon size' in 'look and feel' OFF and then back ON the icons mess up. I toggle it on purpose just to see if the error is still there, cos I know this is 1 way off tracking the error, but sadly other things cause the error too. I haven't yet found out what they are though. The problem is that I have this problem with icons, not only with shortcuts on desktop but also with icons in the app drawer. See this image for the issue. Once I get it it's a lot of work to fix it. Sorta reinstalling and starting from scratch, cos backups don't really help ... no idea why even if they were made at an earlier point in time before the wrong adjustment of settings was made, i.e. before increasing icon size too much and toggling 'Normalize icon size'. Using 'aggressive desktop' does not help solve the problem. That's why for now i've switched to Apex.
So yeah ... don't go over 105% for size of desktop icons ... that's the culprit. If you go over that and toggle the 'Normalize ...' option then you'll end up with the problem.
Hi
I have an S7 edge that is suddenly showing the alarm clock icon constantly .
I have no alarms set ... I've cleared cache and data in the clock app but its still there.
If i restart the phone it comes on again after a few seconds .
Im in the UK and the only thing thats changed is the clocks going back an hour but i cant see why that would make the alarm clock icon permenently on ?
Its trivial but really annoying
Got Pandora installed? Seems to have an alarm function in there causing it
And add the clock / alarm widget to the homescreen, see if that is storing any
