[Q] Alarm auto snooze after 1 min, bug? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I started to use the Stock Alarm of my GS3, but there's no option to unset the automatic snooze that interrupts any song after 1 sharp minute.
I don't mean the repeating snooze of the alarm 3-5 times and time between the repeating, I mean that just the first time the alarm is singing for 1 minute even if the song/mp3 is longer, than again 1 minute if repeating is active.
Note, I have 30 sec screen off, repeating time is 5 minute for 3 times (for instance).
Did you noticed that?
How can we resolve that?

I would have thought that anyone who uses the alarm would be turning it off almost immediately. I do.

Depends if you like to stay some other minutes more in slumber before standing up.
Well, you can turn it off, but at this point there no reason to snooze, you turned off already and you can easily fall in sleep again but this time without the alarm. I don't like :cyclops:

I remember my roomate at uni had a CD player alarm clock. He got drunk one evening and I ended up listening to his entire madness CD. Not complaining about the music but to this day House of Fun still makes me cringe.
Also have you tried other applications for your alarm?

Yeah, I will go for other apps. I already installed them, and I'm testing the best that suites to me.
In the meantime if somebody has a solution or modified apk, I will appreciate.
But it's a pity, I had nothing to complain of the Stock Alarm: very simple, clear and working, already inside the stock, just the maximum 1 minute of singing alarm. Just a programmer's idea, I think.

Clock problem:Alarms going off that are not set, seen this anyone?

Hey guys,
I have been running this version of DCD's ROM for a very long time now basically because it has worked well and been stable for me, but the other day I noticed an anoying thing happen that I wonder if anyone has seen and maybe solved. I use my unit as my primary alarm clock and have set 1 of the 3 alarms to 9:00PM to get me up for work, another for 9:00AM for a daily conferance call, and the 3rd for 10:00PM to be sure I do not sleep too late for work. From time to time I have changed times and text titles for the alarms and all worked well until the other day when I set it to go off at 2M just for 1 day to get remind me of a phone call I had to make, which it did nicely, but then when I changed that alarm back to it's old settings it assumed the identity and time I set for it, but now every day at 2:00PM that alarm still goes off and I can not make it stop doing that because the entry is no longer there. Also I told it to stop the 9:00PM work wakeup alarm and it still goes off at 9:00PM even if I set that entry totally different. I have even shut off all alarms and set the sound to another sound, but still they persist. I have looked in the registry and found the clock utility and where it stores the 3 alarms and they change like they are supposed t, and there is no listings for these rouge alarms anywhere in the entire registry. Anyone seen this ?????? Thanks. I will continue to tweak on it and let yoy know if I find or fix it.
Are you running Home Customizer? This happened to me about two months ago and I re-installed the HC and the mystery alarms went away.

another way to freeze your Mozart

1. set an alarm time at 7:00 am or whatever time in the morning at night before you go to bed.
2. when the alarm set off at the set time, do not touch it until a quite long time later, let's say, 9:00am.
3. then start the phone, try to slide the hood up using your finger. you can move it up, however it can sometimes only moves to halfway of the screen or completely. but either way, then you get it frozen there.
4. to use the phone you have to switch it off and restart it again although luckily WP7 starts up quite faster than those using WM6.5.
ps: in my case, i set the alarm at 8:30 am, but i didn't do anything when it alarmed until it became quiet itself. when i tried to use it at about 10:00am, it froze. until it happened to me quite a few times i realised that it could be a bug of it. it happens even after i did the hard reset.
by the way the ROM is from Orange, UK.
same here, every morning the alarm does not wake me up then when i wake up at look at the phone its frozen. and im guessing if i call orange they will ask me to hard reset the phone, lose all my settings and apps ( thatn sounds so iphone,....apps) for the problem to continue!!!! any one else want a rant about this problem.
no problem with mine
alarm set to 5:30am, 6:30am, 7:00am
and its orange uk too
works very ok
use it everyday

Please try to do the same as i said using only one alarm time in my post instead of three times. And if interested, try the procedures in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845321, too. Many thanks.
Actually: here's my whole story... kind of a lil different experience for me...
Scenario 1:
Created three alarms, each one 15 minutes apart... they helped me in walking up and i would click the dismiss button and such... but most of the time, even though the phone worked without any problems, NO AUDIO! Even when i played any song on the phone or got a call or anything... Plus, the Power button only unlocked but never shut-down the phone so had to take out the battery to reset... A few times though it wasn't frozen but while unlocking or going into a hub or something, it would end up freezing.
Scenario 2:
Disabled one of the alarms and by the time i wake up, i usually find the phone frozen and unresponsive... Sometimes it would work but same problem as before, no audio at all....
Scenario 3:
Only one alarm enabled now every noon ('coz i wake up at 1:00 PM), i always find the phone frozen and have to reset...!
Scenario 4:
No Alarms enabled! Phone works SUPER DUPER FRICKIN' AWESOME!!!! Well the only time i usually do end up resetting is when Marketplace crashes out on me and doesn't start back up (which has really happened only once in a while)
--------------------------------------------
Call me crazy but despite this annoying bug i'm really loving my Mozart!
Not sure if this is a HTC issue (most-likely) but I do hope that these issues are ironed out in the January/February updates!!! Keeping my fingers crossed...
Regards.

been using my alarms ok just changed to the 3 alarms be cause i always used to ignore the first sound
was not freezing when it was one
not freezing now that i have three
only frozen once on market while downloading xbox live extras
my phone works perfectly what more can i say
fantastic device
Same problem here.
I've two ararlms, set 3 min apart. if i dimiss the first alarm before the second goes off, all works fine. but if the first is not dismissed then after the second alarm i need to restart the Mozart.
Agree with others that despite all these annoying things Mozart is a great device. I wish Microsoft releases the next update asap.
Similar problems here since day 1. My issue though was caused by hitting the snooze button each time the alarm went off (instead of actually getting out or bed or hitting the dismiss button).
After about half dozen "snoozes" the phone hangs and needs the battery removed (power button will not turn the device off, screen unresponsive to touch input, only the screen can be turned on and off with the power button).
Has anyone tried to replicate the issue with "vibrate" turned off under "ringtones & sounds" settings? I've turned this off which solved some occasional sound stuttering when receiving emails or sms, and I can't say that I've noticed this alarm bug since.
Maybe worth a try?

Reading this really makes me wonder, whether there was a decent Q&A involved...
Especially, since the WP7 runs way better than WM6 (or 6.1 or 6.5) - but fails in seemingly small applications.
(My problem regarding the jump-to-letter feature in the Zune application is purely based on the German language -.- . I've set my Mozart to English - just to try it - and suddenly the letters appear correctly and allow me to jump directly to a letter (like in the contacts) in the Zune application. If the language is set to German, all letters are grey and only the "#" is active...)
I really hope that these bugs will be fixed in the next update.
(Additionally, my phone has not crashed since I stopped using the alarm clock)
I had WM 5, 6, 6.1, 6.3 and 6.5 soon WP 7
I never used the windows alarm because it freeze my devices every time.
Crazy.....
I have SPB Time it's very nice
I had set up like 8 alarms, and i have the same problem OP has.
If you don't dismiss your alarm, phone freezes when the next alarm goes.
I have T-Mobile 16GB Mozart. so it isn't orange related
I'm using my mozart every morning as an alarm clock - no problems until now. But normally I wake up and hit "dismiss".
I have a germany T-Mobile device...

Clocks give hourly alarms

I'm just posting this in case others run into this same problem.
My watch was buzzing on the hour even though my current watch face didn't even have an option for that feature. Previously I had loaded the clock face "Kokoclock Sun&Moon". Pretty slick watch face but the time was too small to read easily. I deselected it almost immediately and forgot about it. Later I noticed I was getting hourly vibrations and my Fit and it me a long time to trace it back to the Kokoclock. Even though it wasn't currently selected it left the hourly alarm ON. I reselected Kokoclock, removed the Hourly Alarm option and the hourly vibrations disappeared. Others may catch on faster but this is just a heads up.
Hi. Uninstall from your phone the app koko clock. And fixed!

Strangely mine continued to vibrate hourly even after I had uninstalled kokoclock. Only after I reinstalled it and reset hourly alarm did I get it to stop.

Hi there,
reading about this problem gives me hope that the kokoclock will work as I need it to be. Maybe you can tell me.
I'm thinking about getting the Samsung gear fit or any other smart watch that will let me do the following:
-Give me an hourly vibration signal (like the kokoclock) but without a phone connected.
I just returned a sony SM2. There was an hourly vibration app, but the problem was, that the phone had to be connected (via bluetooth) for the watch to give the hourly vibration signal. The app was actually running on the phone and the phone gave the hourly signal to the watch. The problem is that I don't want my phone with me while I'm doing sports but I still want the hourly vibration. So reading about your problem makes me think that the kokoclock was installed on your watch and even when removed from the phone still worked fine.
Am I asuming right? Does anybody know if the watch will do what I want or do you know any other watch that will?
Thank you so much and best regards!

The alarm goes off 15 minutes early

I have a Pixel 3 with the latest Android 10 update. When I set an alarm to 8:15 am, it goes off at 8:00 am. When I set it to 9:30 am, it goes off at 9:15 am.
This started happening recently and I have no idea what's causing it. The device is not rooted and has no customizations. It is is extremely annoying, not to mention it keeps robbing me off morning sleep time, and I'd like to fix it. Please don't suggest working around the issue by setting my alarm 15 minutes late, because if the bug disappears on its own, then I will be 15 minutes late, so I'd rather figure this out.

It seems to just be a bug within the app. Backup your current data (skipping the alarm data and settings) and try a factory data reset then restore said data

I don't know if it's related to the issue, but the screen also turns luminescent red when the morning alarm goes off. That didn't use to happen. I could have sworn I turn that option on in the settings but can't find that setting anymore.
Edit: I just remembered that setting was in the Bedtime tab, but this is not a Bedtime schedule alarm. This is a regular alarm that repeats 7 days a week, and Bedtime is turned off. Strange that the screen still goes red. For Bedtime alarms, it's supposed to start changing colors 15 minutes before the alarm, but the actual alarm is not supposed to sound off until the designated time.
My solution to this problem was to go back to the old version of the Clock app by uninstalling all updates via the Play store. I don't have the "Bedtime" tab or any other new features anymore, which is not ideal but much better than losing 15 minutes of sleep every morning.

Amazfit T-Rex Snooze issue

I'm having a T-Rex with firmware 1.4.0.17, the snooze in Alarm does not get activated when 10 minutes is up.
Does anyone know why ?
I bought T rex pro like 2 months ago and its the last month that I have kept the alarm, to my surprise the above said problem is occurring in my watch as well... Did you find the resolution for your problem or its still there... I tried every button but its not going in snooze mode...

Dear bro…
How great of a fool are we coz the watch is too smart.. Just after reporting the problem here i got a holiday from my work and was chilling in my bed when my alarm went off in t rex pro... As usual i pressed a random button and it stopped vibrating later wat i observed that as i was still on my bed the alarm went off again (that means snooze works if you are still in your bed) everyday i use to press a random button and start a walk to my work that means it detects that I'm not in my bed anymore... Sooo this was a EUREKA moment for me
Wow.... watch that is so smart, it's incredible..... Thanks for your reply.
