With my S4 the Alarm clock app had a function where you could set your location with the GPS, if you were not at that location then that alarm (time) did not activate.
In the S5 it does not have this ability, can anyone recommend an alarm app to use instead of the stock one?

YES! I was wondering this same thing. I loved that feature.
Looking for app
I also enjoyed the alarm with the GPS function of the S4, is there an app the does the same thing?
You could probably do this with tasker. I dont use tasker so i cant give any exact instructions, should be fairly simple though.

Its an app that performs things based on when certain conditions are met, like turn your gps off when you connect to wifi or something.

is there a better alarm clock than the stock one? one with more options and tones and such?
Options such as what? Any alarm tones/sounds (although there is a file size limit on stock rom) can be added/selected by the user.

the pre-alarm is so awesome.....
I like g-alarm, but it is paid. It was the only good custom alarm app for Win 6.5 and I stuck with it when I switched.
If you are really bad about hitting the snooze a lot without thinking about it you can set up puzzles and math problems to solve before the alarm will shut off.
Alarm Clock Plus
Google Desk Clock FTW!
Best clock out there....
Just push the apk file to your system/app folder...

+1. Always works, and hasn't failed me.
I also set it up so I'm forced to solve math problems in order to snooze it. It ALMOST helps me get up on time.

I don't have a problem with the stock alarm in general but is there one where I can tap to snooze? When my alarm goes off at 6am it is sometimes difficult to differentiate between snooze and off on stock.

It's not....just download the apk above...
As for snooze, this clock has a great one ....

Anyone know how to get voice search to set an alarm? Like I hold down search and say set alarm for X? It says I don't have the correct program installed..
Alternatively, anyone know which app works with this?

Ask Siri to do it?
Thanks, but no. If you watch the Google voice search videos they show this being done.
Oh and kick rocks.

the stock gingerbread clock works for this. You should be able to pull one from another phone or ROM. And at least some of the alarm clock apps in the market do the same; I believe Alarm Klock is one of them.
It's handy but I like the timer function of the Samsung clock enough to give up the voice commands for now.
Download market version of vlingo its way better than native voice search

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Found one that works. Sucks that I have to manually confirm the alarm.

Works good using Speaktoit Assistant just tried it after reading post, told her to set alarm for 6:00 p.m. she replied setting alarm for 6:00 p.m. went into the clock app and there's a caption above alarm saying set by assistant. If you try Speaktoit I would also recommended Ivona for a speach engine. All are free in market.

Do you know if you have to leave the phone on for the alarm to work or will alarm on start the phone in the morning?
I haven't tried it but I assume you have to have it on for the alarm to ring.

A couple minutes isn't long enough? Wow, i'm up after it rings just a few seconds.
You might need one of these
There's some deep sleepers out there, don't underestimate
Um... there's no way to extend the time of the song. Have you tried using snooze? That itself can make it ring over an hour.
If you're looking to change the ringtone to your own custom one, you should be able to set your own alarm tone in the settings...
Sorry if I misunderstood.
The stock alarm sucks, imo. I tried it but I'm colorblind and could never figure out what days the alarm was set for. I installed one called alarm clock plus and it's awesome. Much better than the stock one.
Hello. I am running the stock T-mobile 4.3 Rom and I am wanting to be able to see the time that my alarm is set for to show up on my lock screen. Is there any way to add this feature? Thanks.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium HD app
Mine does that. I think it only shows if your phone is locked with some sort of security. I have the pattern lock enabled on mine and it shows that as well as the battery percentage as it's charging.

Do you mean alarms, or the upcoming appointments from the calendar? The appointments will show up if the "Productivity" lock screen is selected. I personally never use the alarm function - I set all my alarms via reminders in the calendar.
Yea I mean the alarm. I have some daily alarms set and it would be nice to see the next alarm time on the lockscreen.

I have upgraded from a Nexus 4 to a S5.My home screen has the default weather app, which takes up half the screen almost!
Do you keep the default weather app that comes with the S5 or do you recommend something else?
Also, any recommendations on what to use for an alarm clock? I used the default alarm clock on my Nexus 4 before.
Thanks,
Jon

The original weather widget can be made transparent at 100%. I'm using the default alarm clock and I'm completely satisfied with.

Check out this thread for the mod weather: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2766014
I always debate this myself. You can make the widget transparent is settings, but I also like the background changing with the weather.
I'm currently using Nova launcher so I have no choice, but Beautiful Widgets has excellent options. I'll go back to TouchWiz launcher eventually, just feels like Nova is missing something that stock offers. Can't put a finger on it tho
