[Q] Dock icon disppears, and swipe to unlock

Hi all ... I edited my dock and added the Gmail icon. It randomly disappears on me. It isn't consistent when this happens, eg. most re-boots it stays, sometimes its gone. Sometimes just looking at the phone part way thru the day and its gone. Any ideas?
Is there anyway to remove the swipe to unlock screen? I had a Vouge with Android ROMs and it was two presses of the power-on button to unlock. Much more convenient. Thanks in advance for any help on these!

It seems that if you change a dock icon to a 3rd party app, it won't stay. Anything installed originally in the phone will not disappear.

I found out why I kept oversleeping with my droid 3 alarm

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

I think I have the AOSP alarm and don't have that option

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

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

[Q] Change/set alarm clock sound?

Greetings all,
So I just got a new S III mini and I really love it. There is just one tiny thing I just can't grasp at the moment, and that is how to change alarm clock sound/melody. I am unable to see where I can do that. I've gone through all settings I can find, but nothing is related to alarm clock.
I have not rooted my phone, as I am yet uncertain as to if I really want/need to or not - at present time.
I've used the same ringtone, alarm sound and sms sound for the better part of the last 8 years or so, and I have no wish to change that any time soon.
So if anyone want to be so kind as to enlighten me how I should go about to add it to my phone: what format should be used? Where do I store it? And for the love of grumpy cat, how do I find a setting/list where I can chose a default audio file for alarms? Oh, yeah, I'm using stock alarm clock. If someone know of a really good app where this can be achieved with simplicity then feel free to enlighten me (I do NOT want to test all apps that are out there just to find a good one; would rather just keep the default one and never change )
Thanks in advance,
/Martin

Go to the programs and open Clock.
Press the cross on the upper right corner to create a new alarm.
When the new alarm screen opens, you can see a "more" bar at the bottom.
Pressing that will reveal more options including the alarm tone one.
Going there you can find an "add" button at the bottom of the alarm tone list.
Click that and select your favorite sound/music.
:victory:

Wow, I really feel so stupid at the moment! I've pressed that "more" bar so many times before, but since I never could scroll below it (without clicking it, as I now see) I never attempted to scroll down once I've clicked it the first time!!
I'll be right back, just gonna go and smash my head against the wall a couple of times!

[Q] clock widget non responsive

it all started with my galaxy s3. one day i noticed that the clock widget was not responding to any tap. it still worked for the time just fine. but when you clicked it, it did nothing. i started using another alarm app. so i could have a alarm. i have purchased a galaxy s5 now and after transferring all of my data, guess what? the clock is not responding to a tap. it will not pull up the alarm, stopwatch, timer menu. i can go into the actual clock app and it works fine. i have done a factory reset on both phones with no luck. it seems all my friends clock widgets operate properly. is there something i am missing?

Which clock widget?

You can try by giving restore clock widget.

It seems that all clock Widgets will not respond even the factory ones.
