Right now I use better alarm clock pro to do my waking up. The issue is that I don't like the way you have to snooze the alarm. I like the rest of the app very much but I wish that it would have the snooze thing like the DeskHome app. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have the home dock and the way it fits in the dock it doesn't give you access to the volume buttons. Is there an alarm app that lets you use the power button as the snooze button? That would be awesome!! Thanks in advance.

Why is there 137 views with no replies? No one can help me out here? Not even to say that they dont know of any programs or to suggest there own alarm apps?
I just installed it now so i havent tried it yet, but im going to give Alarm Clock Plus (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vp.alarmClockPlusDock) a try. It is based off the aosp clock app. Thats just a suggestion, i don't know if it has the features you asked for yet.
Check out the app called "good morning" you can snooze and shut off the alarms by tapping the home screen.

This is your standard Alarm Clock with some new features!
Flip your phone over to snooze the alarm.
Customize your snooze time.
Wake up to songs on your SD card.
Version 1, and this is XDA-Devs so I'm counting you guys to give me constructive criticism and report bugs.

This should work on top of the pattern password. When the alarm goes off it needs to pop up on top of everything on the phone.
It looks exactly like the Alarm that comes on the phone and I kinda dont like that since I want to be able to distinguish the 2.
tnx great start

Klaxon can use your phone's accelerometer:
Flip your phone over to snooze the alarm.
Shake your phone to turn off the alarm.
In addition, you can now pick a song off your SD card to use as your alarm sound!

Incidentally I originally created this application for the HTC Touch Diamond, and it was a huge hit... 60000+ downloads.

I think its a good idea, but I can't get the shake to turn off the alarm to work? The snoozing part works good though. Any suggestions? (I also commented this in the market)

Try "long" shakes as opposed to "short" or "quick" shakes. The accelerometers are right next to the speakers, and are very sensitive... while developing this, I found the alarm sound itself would make the accelerometer think it is being shaken. The only way I could fix this was by responding to only certain types of shakes.
Hahaha, the default alarm is not something to be used in a very quiet office environment. I about pee'd myself.
Hey, first off pretty good app and its useful..
i know it might be taking a chunk of your time..but how bout some options like "join the dots" maze or something like that for us heavy sleepers
something like the g-alarm...if you know what i mean...
It doesn't seem to work all the time. Sometimes I shake and it works other times it doesn't work, cool app though! This should be posted in apps thread.
is there anyway to set a default snooze time and a default alarm sound... or u have to set that up with each new alarm that u create....?
The flipover for snooze is really cool. I shook the phone like a crying baby and it would still not turn the alarm off.
How hard and with what intensity does one have to shake the phone to silence the alarm?
BTW: Default alarm made me think the fire suppression system was going off in the data center next to my office.
Unfortunately I had to remove the shake to turn off feature: it's too hard to distinguish between when someone is shaking the phone and when the phone is just vibrating because music is playing.
In fact, there used to be a bug where the alarm would turn off because the music "shook" the phone. Sometimes it would register readings of up to 2.5Gs... which is a lot.
The Diamond didn't have this problem; I am guessing this is because the accelerometer location is probably closer to the speaker on the G1 than it was on the Diamond.
I added customizable snooze this last version too.
The flipover for snooze is plenty enough for me. Definitely a fun and very functional app. Doesn't always like to snooze if its on a soft surface I noticed. I stuck it between two pillows and reached in and flipped it over... took a couple flips to get it to recognize the flip. Works perfect on any hard surface like a desk or countertop.
what about this for an idea: when you pick up the phone upright, it acknoweldges the alarm- when it's flipped over, it snoozes?

old version
Do you have link to the old version with shake?
Does anyone have the Klaxon apk?
I don't see it on the market anymore and I would love to install it.
Thanks.
Here is free version
Just what I wanted! Thanks a lot.
I got my G1 today and I'm going app-crazy at the moment. I love it!
Edit -- NM
Yeah I tried searching for it in the marketplace last night and it wasn't there. Searched again this morning and it is back though.
When you put the phone screen-down (which I do so I don't wake up because of notification lights etc).. it instantly snoozes when the alarm goes off because "touch the screen to snooze"
Couple of times I would oversleep never understanding why it didn't keep alarming until I turned it off..like I set it to.
So ye..screen up!
There is a setting that alows for "turn over for snooze. Disable it.

i had the same issue, i had to switch to another alarm clock because on the old one I was using (it had a blue icon and came up as the 2nd result in the market when searching for alarm clocks) wouldn't ever play loud, regardless of the volume setting, and it refused to use a different tone for the alarm. The one I'm using now is Alarm Clock Plus and it's awesome, so if you're ever looking for another alarm clock, I suggest this one

Alarm Clock Plus is what I have used since my OG Droid. It is just like the stock alarm from Froyo, but fully customizable.

Clever Alarm is one of the most advanced alarms for WP7. You will never oversleep!
The app has Metro style, it´s very easy to use and still free! Clever Alarm has several
types of alarm (Math, Shaking, Sorting,...) or you can choose "Nap". You can use Clever
Alarm like a bedside alarm clock. You can select your own music from the library.
Clever Alarm also runs under lock screen or you can disable the auto lock screen feature.
You can also change the color of the clock (the clock can be either analog or digital).
Clever Alarm dims the screen automatically, shows date, supports the snooze function,
supports 12/24 hours format and much more. Try it now!
The next version will bring monitoring sleep cycles and much more.

I like the math idea, I think it's a great way to ensure that the user wakes up. Just installed.
Thanks for you reply. After your testing the app, please write your comments, suggestions, problems (etc.) with the app.
Hacked!
I just minimized app and silent. Nice design, good functions, but this is bad. When I wake up, then I want sleep and don't think about the calculation.
Maybe you will need add alarm on background? but it is contrary to Marketplace the conditions, I think.
Check my app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127159
I don´t understand this sentece: "When I wake up, then I want sleep and don't think about the calculation" ...what you mean? can you write some your notes, comments,... for the app? thx
Ok, I will try
With your App:
Alarm!!!
I wake up;
Just click one key: Back, Start or Search;
Alarm is stoping;
I continue to sleep.
Your app is hacked just with one key click.
With my App:
Alarm!!!
I wake up;
Just click one key: Back, Start or Search;
Is't working - alarm still playing; (alarm is working on original music player);
I try click virtuals: stop, pause, backward, forward buttons - ALARM STILL PLAYING!
I need type code: 4815162342
I just typed true code:
Alarm is stoping. I wake up and go to in the shower or Just continue to sleep.
Hm... I'm just hacked my app self - click volume down to 0 (minimum) and alarm volume is very low. I NEED FIX IT!
I understand, but it´s again marketplace conditions... have you another tips for the app? what do you like in alarm?
I like it

i had some problems with the app, it drained my battery over night from 100% to zero, my phone was from midnight 100% to 9:00 at 0% and off. i set my alarm on this app and the digital clock appeared i locked the phone, and go to sleep, wake up with no battery, nothing. the phone was fully drained. i then charged my battery and tested again, and the same thing, from 12:00 till 15:00h my battery was drained, under lockscreen. that is not how it gonna to be or? my opinion is when you in lockscreen the app should have something like standby, and battery saving feature, and not battery drain. i then uninstalled the app and my battery lasts over 48hours. the app has a good concept, but i would like to have some times set, like on the integrated app of wp7, and just to activate them by one tap. and to have multiple alarms memorized there somewhere...
hi,
thx for your reply...next week I will work on this app and I will try solve this problem with consuming a lot of battery... And have you another tips what you want in next version?
Great app, thanks

just the one tip to have multiple times set. like in the integrated alarm of wp7. if you set an alarm that then will be stored on some other screen where all alarms clock have been set. or maybe 20. than just a button like on the integrated to activate that alarm which you want... so that you don't type every time the same time... just look at the integrated alarm clock with its times...
Excellent thread
The DashClock widget on my 4.2.2 Z delays after leaving my phone idle for a certain amount of time. This in itself is not such a huge problem since it updates as soon as I press the power button. But now when I set an alarm (Extreme Alarm), it goes off too late.. Does someone know how to fix this? Otherwise I'm forced to remove this great app.
EDIT: It seems to be an Alarm Clock Extreme bug, when I use the regular Alarm, it does go off and at the right time. Contacted the devs, doesn't seem like anyone knows how to fix this I guess..

can i get the address of the genius at Motorola that though the alarm and call icons on active display being exactly under your thumb and on the alarm using dumb icons that means nothing would be a good idea?
failing that, is there any way to continue using the default clock app but having non retarded alarm notifications?
i loved the simple alarm clock app one... touching anywhere snoozed and long pressing dismissed...
but anyway, anything other than the stock would be better. just don't want to use another app for clock
is that possible? is the alarm thing an activity that i can install alternatives or something?
