Alarm Clock Snooze Broken - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

My alarm will go off in the morning and I will snooze the alarm, but the alarm is being dismissed (not snoozed). After snooze, for a moment, I'll see the icon within the clock / alarm app update to show that it has been snoozed, but it quickly goes back to the standard icon showing that it has just been reset / dismissed.
I've only had this problem since I purchased my second Note 2. My first Note 2 did NOT have this issue. I can literally set my alarm for 10 minutes, watch it go off, snooze it, and watch it reset / dismiss from withing the clock / alarm app. My motions are all disabled so it's not about facing up or down. I also did a factory reset and it resolved the issue for a few days, but the issue has returned.
I have a number of apps disabled and I have a location profile app called Llama to manage my WiFi scanning while away from home and work. I felt that this may be affecting the alarm snooze setting. I re-enabled all of my apps and disabled Llama, but none of those things seem to be the issue. I am flashing the stock ODIN image from the forums to see if that helps.
This doesn't seem to be isolated to any particular model as a similar (if not the same) issue has been posted in the international Note 2 forum.

Check in the settings of the alarm that the auto dismiss isn't enabled(I believe there are some defaults set to be enabled). You can also try Alarm Clock Plus in the play store.

Try flashing back, take the vrall4 ota follow with a factory reset, then unlock and root again.thats what I did last week when I was having some issues, its been pretty good since.

I should have stated my intentions. I didn't want to root. This is on a stock ROM and I want to keep it that way.
I just flashed the ODIN image and PIT file from the "return to stock" instructions and everything seems to be working well.
I'll update in a week.

There is only an auto-dismiss feature in AOSP; not in the stock ROM [AFAIK].

Looks like you're right, I must have been getting them confused, my apologies.

Can't dismiss alarm

If your alarm goes off and you accidently hit snooze, how do you bring the dismiss window back up.
Go to your apps and hit the clock app. At the bottom hit the alarm clock icon. Should be the third from the left.

I don't want to un-set the alarm, I want to dismiss it.
can you tell us more details, like what rom you are running, and things like that that might help?
stock Verizon rom.
Set your alarm for 2 minutes from when you read this. Wait until it goes off, then hit snooze, the alarm options then vanish.
Now on any other alarm, you could bring that snooze verses dismiss window back up so that you could dismiss the alarm before the snooze timer runs out.
I can not seem to figure out how to do this on the Eris, I've read other forums that claim the alarm stays in the status area during this time, but not so with the eris.
Just uncheck the alarm and re check it and the snooze will be gone.

This doesn't seems to be a proper solution. I have seen feature to dismiss a snoozed alarms in many phones and its really useful.
Isn't there any other way to dismiss a snoozed alarm ?.
Please help.

Well I never tried it because it takes about 5 seconds to go into the clock app, and uncheck then recheck the alarm but you may be able to just long press the home button which will bring up recently used apps to get back to the dismiss/snooze screen. If that doesn't work then you are SOL I guess.

Alarm Clock Bug

So it turns out if the alarm goes off and then another application goes over it (like snooze calendar) the alarm will stop !
I missed an alarm the other day and i didn't realize why... then today luckily i was up when it went off. And then a second later the snooze notification came up and the alarm stopped.
Any one knows a fix for this?
Have you tried Missed Message Flasher? Not sure if it works with alarm notifications, but it supports many app notifications so I wouldn't be surprised if it does.

You guys totally ignoring the detail....
It only happens when there's another notification program going and is on top of the alarm.
In my case:

So remove the bogus app and your alam clock will work, or maybe you should set your alarms with this app instead of the generic alarm clock(?)

OMG. 10char.
Ive had the note 3 weeks now and its been perfect with alarms.
So the obvious thing is remove the app that is messing your's up. Or; post the author of the offending app and let them know what is happening. They may have a fix.
It's a specific bug. Believe me.
Anyway a tested a different alarm, Alarm Clock Xtreme, and it works find in that situation.
So calendar snooze is supposed to enable repeat reminders, but is instead eliminating the original reminder... hmmmm, I believe your answer was given in #6 and #8.
Next.
Oh, and if you want help I suggest you don't piss on everyone that tries to help.
I'm talking tomato and you're talking potato... of course i'm frustrated. and you're completely wrong.

[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.

How to set quick alarm?

Hello,
I'm running stock rom 4.1.2
I'd like to set alarm, such that the alarm would go off when the time I've entered comes for the first time, and then when I dismiss would not go off again automatically (unless I set it again).
For example, if I set it to 6:00 and now its 20:00, it would go off the next morning, and then disable.
The only way I found to do it now is configuring an alarm for a specific day in the week, without an option to just set it for "tomorrow".
Also, if anyone knows a widget that does that it would be great.
This option was available in the old Nokia phones, and I wondered why I couldnt find it here.
I don't know about a specific app for this.
I'm using alarm extreme for specifying the alarms.
Cheers
|| Typed with my S4 Octa-Beast or my Note 10.1 ||
The stock clock app can do that, Go to apps > Clock > Create Alarm> And imput the time you want it to go off. If you dont want it to repeat dont tick the days below the time and it should only go off once.
Alarm clock xtreme really does the job, thanks.
About the stock app - if you don't tick any days it automatically ticks the day the specified time would first appear on. Then after it would go off, the alarm disables but if you enable it again it still would go off on that day, not tomorrow. Which means you have to do the setup again.

Notification BEFORE upcoming alarm. Can I disable this?

I just picked up my new G5 a few days ago and absolutely love this phone. I'm coming out of a G2 which I also loved, so this phone is exactly what I wanted...a bigger, better, badder, faster G2 with a much faster camera. Mission accomplished! There is one thing though which is annoying the crap out of me. I'm guessing it's part of marshmallow since my G2 didn't do this. I use the stock clock widget which gives me quick access to alarms, world clock, stopwatch and countdown timer, all things which I actually use regularly. However, it now pops up a notification in the tray TWO HOURS BEFORE the set alarm time, informing you that you have an upcoming alarm, and asking if you want to dismiss it now! [/run on sentence] Really? If I wanted to be notified two hours earlier, I'd have set the alarm two hours earlier! You can swipe it away, but it comes back. I can't find a way to turn off this function and neither could the LG tech support guy. No I do not wish to root the phone. I like the stock widget except for this one feature which is new apparently. Anyone know a way to disable just this function?
