[Q] Does JM8 have snooze on Smart Alarm?

Just went back to JM1 stock after playing with JPH so I am now all stocked and official.
However I was dissapointed to discover that in JM1 there is no snooze option for the Smart Alarm mode. JPH had this (on the gentle "sunshine" screen in JPH there was a slide-to-switch off and a slide-to-snooze).
I want to stick with 2.1 for now so can anyone running JM8 tell me if the Smart Alarm has a snooze button/slider?
Thanks
Mark.

I don't think so but can I recommend "gentle alarm" from market? Best alarm app EVER

Thanks. I will try it.
Call me wierd but I do like to use stock features of a phone where possible. I only tried the Smart Alarm first time after flashing JPH and I loved it. I didn't have any problems with reliability or anything. But can't use it now on JM1 without the snooze on Smart Alarm (I'll never get up!).
I will use Gentle Alarm and when official Froyo is released I will decide wheter to switch back to the stock Smart Alarm.
BTW: Any comments on if Gentle Alarm drains much more battery overnight than the stock alarm?

Not sure, but could you add maybe multiple smart alarms, say 10 minutes apart? that way, the first time, you switch it off, it will come back as alarm 2, and then 3 etc.
Would work fine if you wake up at the same time every day, but if it changes, then you would have to configure 2-5 alarms every time, which would get annoying.

This should be moved to Q & A, is not related to development at all.

Ahh, yes, good point. My brain was in "I just changed from a beta ROM" mode becasue it was about a feature in Froyo so that's why I put it here. Sorry.

Personally i dont see a point why we need smart alarm, a alarm that alert before another alarm? Just simple make the default alarm properly with slow ramp of the sound volume will do!

Q about alarm clock

Hello there guys and girls,
I have one question about alarm clock. Is it possible to configure alarm clock when it goes on to automatically go from airplane mode to normal mode (like opening an app or sthm)? Currently using ginger dx. Searched the forum but nothing came up.
Thanks in advance

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
Sent from my Samsung Focus S using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

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

Trouble with 3rd Party Alarm Apps and Custom Alarm Sounds in Marshmallow?

Anyone else encountering issues with custom alarm sounds?
It's already been confirmed by app developers that most (all?) 3rd party alarm apps no longer work because of Marshmallow's doze deep sleep feature (more on that later). However, in moving my alarms over to the stock Marshmallow Clock app (which does work), I can't seem to bring any of my custom alarm sounds over. With previous OS versions, I just copied custom Alarm sounds to the appropriate folder in either internal or external storage (it used to be under \media\audio\) under Alarms, Ringtones, and Notifications folders. Although those folders are still present on the Nexus 6, and do work for 3rd party apps as well as stock apps like Messenger, Calendar, Phone ringtones, etc., they don't work for the stock Clock -- the only alarms that are available are the original stock ones.
So I tried to move my custom Alarm sounds to the system partition and encountered an out of space error, so I deleted some of the stock alarms and replaced them with my own. That works, but won't work for waking up to music because the music files are just too big to go on the system partition.
With regard to the 3rd party alarm clock apps no longer working, I figured out a work-around that seems to be successful so far. What happens is the alarm clock apps can't wake up the phone when Marshmallow is in doze mode (which usually happens overnight). I tried setting the app's notifications as a priority, and I also set the app to not be battery optimized, but it didn't work and the apps' developers have confirmed the same. Anyway, my work-around is to set an alarm in the stock Clock app to go off a minute before the 3rd-party app alarm does. The alarm in the stock Clock app can even be silent. What I'm guessing is happening is that the stock Clock app alarm brings the phone out of doze and it takes longer than a minute to go back into doze, so the 3rd-party alarm will sound.
Anyway, any suggestions for getting the custom alarm folders working again would be appreciated, but it sounds like it might be a genuine bug in the OS.

I have no issues with Alarm plus. It works without fail and doze doesnt effect it.
All the app developers need to do is follow the guide lines
Standard AlarmManager alarms (including setExact() and setWindow()) are deferred to the next maintenance window.
If you need to set alarms that fire while in Doze, use setAndAllowWhileIdle() or setExactAndAllowWhileIdle().
Alarms set with setAlarmClock() continue to fire normally — the system exits Doze shortly before those alarms fire.

Are you referring to Alarm Clock Plus? I can't find any app named Alarm Plus. Reviewers running Marshmallow are claiming that Alarm Clock Plus alarms are no longer working. I'm using Alarm Clock Xtreme, and the alarms are definitely not working unless I use my work-around.

No prob. I live on 3 hours of sleep a night so i need a reliable alarm clock. This one has never failed me.

Unfortunately it turns out that even Alarms Plus Millenium isn't currently working with Marshmallow. The developer replied to my email and said that he's working on an update but that until then you have to have the phone plugged in and charging for the alarms to sound. This is because Google said that the dose mode is not activated when the phone is plugged in or moving.
I still bought the app though and will be switching to using it because he's the first alarm clock developer who actually responded to me with at least some knowledge of how to fix his app to be compatible with Marshmallow. The rest of them all seemed to have no idea and no ETA on an update to fix their apps.

That would make since as I charge my device over night as I sleep. Never occurred to me that if I didn't charge it that way it wouldn't go off.

You're still better off with Alarm Plus Millennium over any of the other alarm clock apps, IMHO. I've contacted four or five of the most popular ones, and their respective devs have no idea how, when, or if they'll be able to fix their app. The Alarm Plus Millennium dev says he's about 3 days out from releasing a new version that will work. So, thanks again for recommending Alarm Plus Millennium. It didn't show up in any of my searches on the Play Store for alarm clock apps, so I would've never found it otherwise.

Yeah he is really good about that. I worked with him to kill a bug about 4 months ago. Was very responsive and willing to help. Glad you found an app that works for you.

FYI, Caynax Alarm Clock (free and pro versions) works in Marshmallow now.

No Alarm

Hey guys.
Sometimes I have a lil problem. My alarm clock isnt ringing. Doesn't matter if I change the settings. (Battery, Power management) It's not in optimization list.
BTW it also persists after switching to revolution OS. It's not often but it happens. I never had this on other phones.
Someone else with this problem?

It happened in my environment too.
I did the following to prevent it.
Turn on "Auto start" of clock app setting.
Set battery saver in clock app settings to "No restrictions".
Turn off Battery & performance "Use Adaptive Battery".
Battery & performance - Set Scene - "Sleep mode" off.
I use Google Clock. It seems to be improved.

In my case the alarm rings but the screen remains black. I have to unlock the phone, go to notification bar, click on the alarm and then turn it off. (I use mi clock)
I'm worried that I can't trust the alarm on my brand new phone.

That only happens to me if i put my phone into "Do Not Disturb" mode. If my phone is set to sound or even vibrate only, the screen turns on as soon as the alarm starts to ring.
Either way, my alarm clock always works (using mi clock too)

Never experienced it, use DND mode during sleep time, and my alarm never failed.

That's true. I just tried and if the phone is in "do not disturb" the screen remains switched off. This is a bit weird because (at least for me) the DND is mainly used during the night.

Are you using the Mi Clock or the google one?
With the Google Clock my screen comes on normally, but I was hoping to user the "stock" clock App. I specially like the option to delete the alarm after it rings (in the event of an one time alarm) and the option to cancel the alarm just for the next time (in the event of a week holiday).

Yeah dont make any sense, it should turn on the screen even in DND mode but its a minor thing at least.

Alarm Clock not working for 3 day. I tried to set Auto-start, then disable Battery Saver. restrictions for the App. I will tell you.
