When ever a event alarm or notification goes off, you are only presented with the options snooze or dismiss all. There is also no option I can find to change the default length snooze period.
Is there a way of getting custom snooze times with the stock calendar and task apps?
I assume I'm going to need an app from the market but any recommendations would be helpful.

I set the alarm clock for waking me up. Every morning when it rings, I pick up my phone and the rings stop and it snooze for 10 mins AUTOMATICALLY. Any body have the same issue. Anyone knows how to solve it? Thankyou very much.
What do you mean snooze automatically ? I Also put alarm everyday & when it rings i down unlock screen once so, it won't snooze anymore .. but if you click on snooze button than again it will snooze automatically also you can change snooze settings from alarm menu ..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's means I just pick up my phone without touching anythings but it stops ringing and snooze automatically. Do you understand now? Thankyou very much.
Oh Got it .. well, i never had this kind of problem.
So I have gone through and set up my alarms using the default "Alarm & Clocks" app.
I give it 10 snoozes of 10 minutes each (or any time interval).
I set the snooze check box.
My alarm goes off at the correct time. I slide the snooze graphic across the screen and then 10 minutes later it goes off again. Good.
If I bump or shift my phone while trying to hit snooze it turns off the snooze, much like if you hit "dismiss" or "cancel". This is a feature?
Now, I do not know about anyone else, but I tend to not have fine motor control at 5 am. This has happened to me so many times since I got this phone. The best part is that it gives you no warning that it does it. You slide over the snooze button and think you are golden. But, in fact, you have turned off your alarm. It is not listed anywhere in the documentation or in the app.
How do I disable this functionality?
Are there better alarm/clock apps?
What the hell is "Smart Alarm?"
hi guys,
i'm slowly getting used to my galaxy s2. But one of the important features i need is an alarm clock. I find it difficult to get up in the morning, so if an alarm clock simply has a snooze button, that when touched turns off, then that is no good for me.
I'm looking for an alarm app, which has a snooze button that only turns off when i slide it or something like that.
Can anyone please recommend any?
The stock built-in alarm clock has a slide to snooze option. When setting the alarm, be sure to check the snooze option.
I like how on Sense 3.5 my Outlook Calender reminders pop up full screen on the lock screen, however, when I drag the 'snooze' button to the lock ring, i never get another reminder again (snooze doesn't work).
Under settings on my Calender, it looks like it's set to default to a 10 minute reminder.
Anyone else having this issue? And any idea how can I get this working correctly?
(I'm wondering if it works with Google calenders (which I do not use) and not with Outlook or something...)
Is this Calender lockscreen snooze button working for you? If so, what version of Outlook do you use? Mine is '03.
I just came from the Evo3D and the same problem there. I have installed Caladar Snooze
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bitfire.development.calendarsnooze
Which is free, and this is something that I now cant live without. Works flawlessly. When a caladar event comes due I hear a reapeating reminder and when I open my phone I get a full screen with options to snooze for minutes to days and its quick to select and no worries cause it works and will remind you, not like the stock snooze.
I liked it so much I bought the Key
The UI is something less to be desired but very reliable so far and have had it for 5 months
How does Calendar Snooze play with the built-in calendar alerts? Do you have to dismiss two notifications? (i.e., does the lock screen alert still appear?)
good question. When an alert comes up you dont see the stock snooze lock screen. you see the calandar snooze in the notification bar and after you unlock the full size menu screen pops up and you have to make your choice, 5 min, 1 hour, until, for, dismiss
Just to further answer my own question: Calendar Snooze has a setting to appear on top of the lockscreen and wake the phone when it alerts. Still have to dismiss the lockscreen if you want to access the rest of the phone.
There were a slew of notifications on my phone earlier, and I just hit the "clear" button at the bottom to make them all go away. Turns out one of them was for an upcoming alarm I had set and didn't notice, and apparently clearing the notification dismissed the alarm so it never went off. (I'm running the standard google "clock" app since I'm used to it, not the samsung clock app).
Any way to prevent an app notification from being cleared? Any way to remove the "clear" button from the notifications? Any better clock app that doesn't have this problem and also functions correctly with snooze mode?
