Yes it under clock icon.also svoice say cancel alarm and it asks if you want to delete. Clock icon stays at top just reboot.

It's in the clock app. Not sure if you've set another one as default or even if you can, but the regular clock app is where mine are stored.

K, i found the alarms in the clock but not the countdown timers... after i leave Svoice after setting an countdown.. how to i cancel it?
it no longer shows up in the Svoice screen if you have exited it..

In apps, do you go into the app just called 'clock' with an analogue clock face image? That's the one on my phone. At the top of the screen then there will be some tabs for selecting Alarm Clock, World Clock, Stopwatch, Timer and Desk Clock. That's where the svoice set alarms/timers are set.
I have been able to set an alarm, then later edit it, both via svoice.

My clock shows no alarms, but it will go off every day at 8:30 am. Driving me nuts. I have Alarm Clock + as well, but it's not there either. I seem to have turned it on with S-Voice, but S-voice can't find it to turn it off, either.

How do you unset Touchwiz clock's alarm?

My Touchwiz digital clock's alarm is always set, as indicated by the alarm clock icon in the notification bar.
When I tap on the clock and the alarm-setting window opens, it gives me no options to cancel the alarm. I set the alarm to silent and uncheck vibrate, but when I close out of this window, a small message appears and says something like my alarm is set to go off in 23 hours, 10 minutes. And the alarm clock icon is still in the notification bar.
Anybody know how to turn the damn thing off? Thanks!

Just delete the alarm? I am on Task650's ROM, but since it's touchwiz there shouldn't be a difference. There's a delete option next to done and cancel on the top of the page. I attached a pic.

Thanks, but I don't have a delete option showing on my screen. I just have Done and Cancel, but there is no Delete with a trashcan icon. I know there's got to be a way to turn the alarm off.
Anybody else?

Could you post a screen shot of how yours looks in comparison? I didn't have that problem before I rooted and what not. I just don't remember how it looked compared to mine now

[Q] Can Someone Help Me w/Using NFC Launcher to Write NFC Tags?

I've got a few of these up and running flawlessly now so I understand how they work. I'm trying to create one of these for my bedside and having a bit of a problem doing a couple things that I'm trying to do.
First off, is there a way to make the tag a toggle of all adjustments? In other words, I want it to silence the ringtone & notification tone and turn vibrate off amongst other things and then enable them again in the morning with another swype of the same tag. I thought I read somewhere how you could do this but I'm not seeing the option(s) in NFC Launcher now.
Also, I'm having a difficult time getting it to launch the alarm clock app. I can have it launch the clock but then it takes a few more steps to get the alarm clock armed. Using an older version of the Clock that comes with previous versions of Android and Launcher Pro I can create a shortcut on my homescreen that takes me right into the alarm with a single press. Using this knowledge I select 'launch app' from within NFC Launcher and tell it the app is 'Clock' and then under that is a field for what within the app you specifically want to launch. I've tried 'Add alarm' which is the exact verbiage of that screen and nothing happens. I've even tried the text of the option I select from the homepage shortcut I created which is 'com.android.alarmclock.AlarmClock' and that also does nothing. I know the possibility is there but I can't seem to get it to work.
Lastly, if I'm unable to get the alarm clock launch to work as described in the previous paragraph another option would be the 'Alarms' section within NFC Launcher and then the timer one where I can set an alarm for 8hrs from whenever I scan the tag. This would be perfect but nothing I do disables the vibrate and I HATE the vibrate going off with my alarm because it's so loud and startling. I prefer a quiet audible alarm sound since I'm such a light sleeper. A phone rattling loudly on my nightstand jolts me into fight or flight mode... not a great way to start your day.

You'll want to use a switch tag for this.

That field is for the activity (so package.activity). However Google's new packages have different class names than their activity names (thanks for that by the way). The Alarm clock is com.android.deskclock.AlarmClock - however this probably won't launch right now. It will in the next update (it's working for me without a problem here on what will be the next release). Support will also be in place for class/activity notation so you could pass in com.google.android.deskclock/com.android.deskclock.AlarmClock and not worry about it (Although this will require more space on the tag).

I don't know about vibrate. All I do is pass the intent off to the alarm handler and tell it set an alarm for X:YY time and it handles the rest. There aren't any public extras to pass with the intent to set vibration or sound preferences. I could look at the actual alarm clock source and see if it accepts any, but that is likely device dependent and wouldn't work on skinned devices.
Thanks for the quick response!

So, this is a special type of physical tag that one must buy? I bought ten of these and they seemed like decent tags but it sounds like this may not work or are you talking about some software adjustment I'm just not seeing?

So, what I'm doing currently is right, it's just that it's not fully propagated on the app's end and will be by the next update.... correct?

My settings via your app on this particular tag is to turn the vibration of the phone off but I think that the alarm clock overrides this as well as a silent setting to play a tone for the alarm. I looked for a setting to disable the vibrate within the Clock but am not seeing it. I can for the alarm but not for the timer which was plan B as described above.
In the app, new tag -> new switch. Same physical tag.
A switch tag toggles between two task tags.

aHA! That's where it was.
As an example I'm going to make a Toggle to do the following:
Night mode
Ringer: Silent
Notification: Silent
Vibrate: Off
Notification light: Disabled
Morning mode
Ringer: Enabled
Notification: Enabled
Vibrate: On
Notification light: Enabled
Now, the question is about the clock. I realize I will be able to launch it with a setting but can I have it disabled (say I wake up before my alarm) and can I put both of these on a Toggle switch? So on the first swipe it launches the clock and on the second swipe it disables it?

As far as I'm aware the alarm clock handler doesn't take an incoming intent to disable an alarm (I looked at the source some time back to resolve getting it auto set in ICS). It might be possible to directly edit the alarms database, but there's no guarantee this will work on any device that's not an AOSP based device (Since HTC likes to make arbitrary modifications sometimes) so that might not get implemented as it would just be potentially broken on a lot of devices. I'd have to take a look into those data stores though.

Sounds like more trouble then it's probably worth. I can just put 'Launch app' 'Clock' in both activities and then manually activate and deactivate as needed. It would be cool to have it 100% automated but I don't know how necessary that's going to be.
Now I just wish I could figure out how to disable the vibrate from the stock timer so that I can set a toggle to have it go off 8 hours from when I swan the tag as my alarm clock since I don't go to work and always set my alarm for 8hrs from when I go to bed. Most of the time I wake up before it goes off so this is why having it disable with a scan of a tag would be ideal but I realize this could be more effort than it's worth. I'm just scratching the surface on what I can do with these tags so I'll just test out what all I can do with them as they stand.
When do you think that update will occur so that I can launch straight into the alarm clock rather than launching the Clock and having to take another step to get to what I want to get to?

To revisit this... the way I came up with 'com.android.alarmclock.AlarmClock' was because I was Googling a way to make a shortcut on my homepage to launch right into the alarm clock. I found one but it used an older version of the DeskClock which I recovered from an old backup from Titanium Backup. It works great as a homepage shortcut but is there a way I can make a shortcut using the new clock? If I can I can delete the older style Desk Clock I had to install and then when the new update to your app comes out I can use that to go right to it. I also just noticed that in the new clock there is an option for: 'com.htc.android.worldclock.alarmclock.DeleteAlarm' so maybe the automatically disabling is possible or will this delete an entire Alarm profile? Since you seem to know WAY more about these clocks than I do is there a way to get with the new clock what I've done using the old clock? I mean the 'com.android.alarmclock.AlarmClock' shortcut... does that exist for the new one? I tried different ones that looked like they may be the right one but it wouldn't launch at all.
Hopefully you understand the way I explained all of this. If not I can try to elaborate whatever parts you don't understand.
Edit: BTW, here is a list of the possible choices and all start with 'com.htc.android.worldclock...
WorldClockTabControl
Relaunch*
TimeZonePicker
DeleteTimeZone
RearrangeTimeZone
SetAlarm*
DeleteAlarm
AlarmAlert*
OffAlarmAlert
HandleSetAlarm*
TimerAlert*
SettingsActivity
SoundSelect
The ones with an asterisk are ones that I've tried to create a shortcut on the homepage using 'Add>Shortcuts>Activities (this requires Launcher Pro)>Clock and then I can choose what action within the app. This is how I was able to set a homepage shortcut using a previous Clock app and if I can figure out how to do the same thing with the new Clock that comes with ICS I will delete the old clock I installed and then use this information moving forward once the NFC app is updated.

[Q] How to diable daily weather notifications?

Hi
every morning I have a notification about the weather of the day. It comes from the standard weather app. But on this app, I cannot disable notifications.
I'm not sure but it might be coming on when the alarm sounded.
I have not enabled google now - so it's not this.
any idea on how to switch this off?
Cheers
UPDATE: It's defenitely connected to the alarm. when I switch of the alarm, I do not get the notification in the morning.

***HERE'S HOW:***
Go to settings> applications> application manager...swipe over to "all"...scroll down to "weather daemon"> UNCHECK show notifications. DONE.
Thanks. Did that. Strangely it stopped happening even before.. No clue why. But now it's defenitely off
I been unchecked that for a while now but still getting Weather of the day popup everyday.
they are back .... no clue what this is about...
does anyone use the alarm clock and does NOT have the notifications in the morning?
What I did was add the weather widget to your home screen, then launch the app (only way to run the weather app...stupid) . Now click "More" in top right. Then there are 3 toggles to turn notifications on for the edge screen, lock screen & calendar. Turn them off.
I don't have any notification settings there.. it's more like "Show weatherinfo" and then edge screen, lock screen, s planner. But these don't have an effect.
btw. this morning.. no weather notification.. it seems completely random

you still can open Weather setting from Edge screen setting, also the way you show will not work because it different setting from the op ask, he asked about the notification popup everyday, the setting your show it to show the weather ON/OFF of all the time on Edge screen, lock screen or calendar.

Funny, but I am trying to find a way to enable it again.
Does anyone know what exactly makes/triggers morning weather notifications right after alarm sets in? I liked it but it went away for some reason and I am not sure what has changed/what I've have changed in between. I still use samsungs weather widget with manual updates as I did before. Tried setting up alarm with auto refresh but still the daily weather notification won't show up after the alarm is triggered.
Solution?
Has anyone figured this out yet? I like getting the daily weather in the notification drawer but for the last two days it seems to have stopped.
This morning I had set an alarm and cancelled it before it went off, that's the only thing different about today and I don't usually set an alarm. I don't think I set one for yesterday morning but don't believe I got the update then either. No idea what is different.
Will test again tomorrow morning without an alarm set.
Very annoying that there is no obvious setting for this.
New Phone
I have a brand new S6 now and just realised that there have been no weather notifications since I got it. And I'm not using any alarms and the notification options are all selected.
How on earth do I get them back?
The weather notifications work for me if I have an alarm and location services turned on.

No alarm sound

Is anyone having any issues with third party clock and alarm apps? I set my alarm and it does not ring at all despite having all sound and notifications settings correct. The default clock and alarm app work fine but I would really like to wake up to a song/music I choose.
Any possible fix/solutions?

I just got an p9000 and have the same problem .. I´ve tried to add the app (tried a few, used to run Gentle Alarm) to the white list, but it makes no difference ...
I even tried to use the Gentle Alarm "night display" to keep the display on, but still no alarm ...
(would´nt be a problem, unless all the stock alarm sounds are so hideous)
Any ideas?
edit: clicked on the "lamp" button in Gentle Alarm, that says "keep display on", and the night display, that worked! Kind of annoying to have the screen on through the night, but I did wake up to my favorite song!

Missing a way to turn off alarm??

I set a daily alarm for 7:45am. I woke up at 7:34am and swipe down and there's no way to cancel an alarm, but still leave it on for every other day? I had to shut it off, wait until after 7:45 then re enable it.
Would be nice to hide the notification icon until it gets closer.

Did you remove the alarm from the Samsung clock app? With the Google app, when I hit dismiss I don't get that alarm until the next day.

I don't have a Samsung Clock app since getting the Google one. In fact, I got rid of most everything Samsung.
