I have a few personal tasks that i need to do at a specific time of the day and at time i am too busy and forget about it
I am looking for an app that will pop up reminder (and play sound) at a set time. Also need to be able to do repeat event so i dont have to program it everyday. So it sort of like the calender that come with android but since the calender on the galaxy does not allow me to customize the reminder ring tone. I cant hear a "beep" when i am in a busy environment.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I just use the alarm on the clock app
you can use the alarm clock on the phone
you can set the exact time.the ringtone it plays.
and you can set the days you want it to ring
Oh DUH!!! i'm thinking too hard. Thanks for your helps. It did exactly what i wanted.
Does anyone know if it is possible to have your notifications go off multiple times? I switched from an iPhone 4 which let me repeat every 3 minutes. Is anything like that possible?
It looks like the minimum time interval for repeating events is one day. The Clock/Alarms will allow you do repeat an alarm on specific days (weekly). The calendar app will let you repeat events daily/weekly/monthly/yearly.
I searched for "alarm" on the Play market and tried the top two third party alarm apps and neither appeared to have the feature you described.
You could create an alarm and set the snooze for 3 minutes or create three separate alarms spaced 3 minutes apart.
I mean for text messages and emails. Not alarms. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Ah, I misunderstood. I don't see a way to have notifications repeat in the default apps and settings.
After a quick google search, it looks like the app "Handcent SMS" will do what you described.
Once installed, go in to Settings-->Notification Settings-->Notification Settings(again)-->Enable Reminders
The settings there will allow you to set how frequently you'll receive reminders for unread messages.
While there's a lot of alarm apps I somehow can't manage to find one that has everything I want from a good alarm. So I'm hoping that some of my ideas will inspire someone to make the perfect alarm app!
what no alarm app has:
- 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)
- follow the ICS design guidelines
what it should also have:
- increasing ring (as in the alarm gets louder every x seconds it's playing)
- simple alarm screen with time, large snooze, small dismiss button
- use the android alarm feature (no seperate notification icon but use the android one next to the clock)
Look for AlarmDroid in Play Store.
I will post the link later in case you can't find it.

Should have all your requested features.
It's missing the first item on my list: increasing ring after snooze. It just has the normal increasing ring feature.

This last request is not possible. First off, there isn't a standard android alarm... many phones include many different default alarms... and of the many I've seen, none of them have a notification icon next to the clock, so I have no idea what you are even talking about.
Any alarm app is just that, an app, with its own notification icons and such. Your not going to find anything that is going to edit how your particular phone's default clock+alarm app works.

It is well possible. Almost all the alarm apps out there do it. The feature has been there since Cupcake!

Have you used Alarm Clock Xtreme? Not exactly what you are asking for but it does have an option where the alarm can start quiet and increase to a pre-set volume level. You also choose the length of time until your volume level is reached.
Seems similar enough.
that's the "normal" increasing ring that pretty much every alarm clock has
Ummm... except for the entire fact that the fade-in time is customizable and you are not limited in which sounds you can choose. Along with several other customizable features - like auto-snooze, limited number of snoozes, math problems [or other hoops] to dismiss alarm, etc. - in this app. When I was testing out alarm apps, it did not take up lots of RAM through the day and was very stabe.
So no, that is not

I do realize that a 'fade in' alarm is common, but I really enjoyed all the features built into Alarm Clock Xtreme. I figured I would share as you seemed to be seeking an alarm app. Guess you are really ony seeking someone to create your dream app - good uck with that.
Sent from my Sidekick using xda app-developers app [also, where's my L, Samsung? Where? I want it back now!]
there's loads of great alarm apps out there. feature-wise Alarm Clock Extreme is among them, though the UI is quite outdated and needs polish.
I prefer CM10s alarm app, but it's also missing the feature i'm looking for, else it'd be perfect
I don't have the G-Watch yet, but I wanted to ask this question because it has been one of my annoyances with others like Sony SW2. Can you stop an alarm from the watch? Now note: my SW2 receives ALL notifications and they are ALL dismisssable from the watch, but an alarm does not actually produce a notification that will dismiss it if dismissed whilst ringing.
Does android wear in any way rectify this? Can we maybe look at some of the app devs for 3rd party alarm apps?
Hi guys,
I'm looking for an alarm app (either new or existing) that has wear support...maybe someone who is better versed can add wear support to KK alarm clock and put it up? Related is this bug report that has been marked 'WillNotFix": In a perfect world the app would also be able to be launched on the watch and alarms can be set from watch that are set on the phones main app....but at the very least I'd like to be able to dismiss alarms from watch (I'm imagining a screen like the one when you get a call, that would be awesome).
I'm not sure how much of this is possible, but at the very least, is anyone interesting in extending KK alarm app to include wear notifications for dismissing alarm while ringing?

I know this is an old post and hopefully you've found a solution. If not, check out Alarm for Android Wear:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nefastudio.android.nfalarm_wear
It does NOT use the built in alarms your phone, instead setting up new alarms. But you can set alarms on either watch or phone, and they will go off on either watch or phone, or both.
