Last week, I spent the week covering a floor; waking up at 4:15AM. I set triple alarms, the phone as the last at 4:20 (set to weekdays).
I changed the alarm to 4:15PM (every day) for saturday, at which it sounded.
I shut the alarm off last night.
The alarm sounded at 4:20 this morning. The alarm is set to off, and changed to 4:15PM (every day).
Any idears?
What fun.
Thanks,
Matt
I've never liked the internal Alarm feature (too unreliable for me).
I better use Gentimer (from Rivia) that allows me to set several different alarms, set Recurrence patterns (everyday, weekdays...), volume, repetition, alarm sound...
tried to set both types of alarms: reset "everyday," reset "weekdays" to a new time.
Still signaling at 4:20
I just deleted: [HKCU\System\State\Shell\Alarms\] binary: Next
But I have a feeling that will have no affect, since it's in the system state, which I believe is read-only.
Does anyone know where the alarm info is kept in the registry?
Thanks,
Matt
How you could set three alarms with default alarm feature? It can set only one alarm at time..
If some alarm is still bugging you it's definitely written in the notification queue database. You need some app that can display it and delete appropriate record. If you won't find any, i can provide you my debug one..

Alright, I've obtained SKTools. There are a lot of items in my Notification Queue, some seem critical.
Can someone help me narrow down which item(s) I should delete?
Start if time changes \\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\SSTimeChange; AppRunAfterTimeChange
Start if time changes \\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\TimeWizardTimeChange; AppRunAfterTimeChange
Start if time changes \\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\TimeWizardWakeUp; AppRunAfterWakup
Start if time changes calnot.exe; AppRunAfterTimeChange
Start if time changes clocknot.exe; AppRunAfterTimeChange
Start if time changes connmgr.exe; AppRunAfterTimeChange

Start if RS232 connection has been detected repllog.exe; AppRunAtRs232Detect

Entries can probably safely be narrowed down by process name?
Thanks,
Matt
None of them is alarm.. Default alarm would have record with process \Windows\clock.exe and would be scheduled to you time. You can check that by setting an alarm and reviewing the notification queue..
However, if you set the alarm using built-in settings, it shouldn't bother you anymore.

You are correct, sir.
No longer sounding at 4:20. I slept through the night. Amazing.
Anyway... I'm not sure what I did to solve it.
Just to summerize: you're saying tha tnay entry with \Windows\clock.exe and a time is an alarm entry. So if there are artifact alarms, deleting these entries from the Notification Queue (which you can do with free SKToolslite {link above}) delete the alarms; because these Notification Queue entries are the alarms.
Thanks!

Could someone make a widget that allows the user to input a time and date and the widget simply display the hours and minutes to the preset time... also an option to set the end time as alarm time, eg so I can look at my desktop and see how long till alarm goes off
A title for the countdown such as birthday or alarm would be appropriate along with an option to toggle between the countdown and a display of the end time
Id be happy to toss a couple bucks to the dev and all I ask is credit for the idea
Hope some people see a use for a widget like this
Thanks for anything and everything
What needs to be done is a much better calendar application, I suppose I was spoilt by the calendar feature on the blackberry platform.
I have Do Not Disturb scheduled to turn on every night so I don't get notifications, and have set an exception for Alarms. But this exception doesn't seem to include the Timer function on the clock app and it gets muted, even though since it's something I set manually I should be able to expect it to go off. Is there anyway to get around this?
There is so much do not disturb customization in this version of android or perhaps specific to oneplus. I am not sure which. That I'm not sure how to make this do what I'm used to it doing on my previous device LG G4. During the day I have it more or less as follows I may be forgetting some things:
Only ring if the phone call is from someone in my contacts.
Text messages always sound etc no matter who sent them.
Email always sounds.
Calendar always sounds.
What I need is the profile to silence everything while I sleep. To do this on the LG G4 I had a sleep profile from 12am to 12pm that set all volume controls to zero. And somehow though I can't remember ended that sleep profile early if I had an alarm go off during that time frame so that I could be disturbed because I was no longer sleeping after the alarm went off. The reason for the 12am to 12pm time frame was to give leeway to time going to bed and also time for waking up without an alarm. The idea was so that I didn't forget to silence things before going to be and forget to undo that once I was awake.
So typically DND settings built into android allow at least close to this level of control. I'm not sure how Oxygen OS is configured, but on a Pixel I can configure DND to ring only for starred contacts, but allow text and other notifications through. Or, silence everything.
All of that said, you should be able to manage volume levels through Tasker, reject (send to voicemail) calls that are not in your contacts.
If you import your old profile, doesn't it work on the OnePlus?

Stupid me I forgot to backup my old tasker stuff so I have to start from scratch again.
In the do not disturb setting UI of the settings UI there are the following:
Toggle DND on/off: this is toggled on and is set to stay on all the time.
Behavior heading
Notifications: tapping it opens a new UI giving you some default choices for notifications in general. I have this set to no sound at all. And override DND in specific areas outside of this part of settings regarding notifications from SMS/MMS messages, email, voicemail, calendar alarms. Might be one or two I am forgetting to mention.
Exception heading
Calls: tapping here brings up settings to allow calls from (anyone, contacts only, starred contacts only, none.) I have this set to contacts only.
Messages: same detail as calls. Set same as calls.
Other sounds: toggles to allow alarms, media, and touch sounds. I have these toggled to allow.
As for the other stuff that overrides DND I accessed that setting from within each of the apps settings. Not sure if that was a redirect from the app settings to a system settings area that I'm not aware of how to get to otherwise. So what I need is a profile that will mute everything while I sleep and return to how everything is currently set. On the LG G4 I accomplished this by turning all volumes to zero for sleep and then restored them all to 100% upon either the end time trigger of the sleep profile on upon an alarm I set to get up before the end of the timeframe of the profile.
What I was wondering if this was the way to go or if a more simple toggle one setting would accomplish it. I didn't see any DND setting in the system setting for no interruptions at all despite the overrides set. What I'm thinking is the same approach as before and set media, notification, ringer, and system volumes to zero and restore to 100% at end. The part I can't remember how I did it was ending the sleep profile when an alarm goes off that I set to a time prior to the end of the timeframe of the profile. Any idea how I would have done that?
I think which ever way gets you where you want to be is the way to go [emoji6]
On my Google phone, that's the ability to mute everything except alarms. There is also a toggle to disable DND when an alarm goes off.
As far as using tasker to turn volumes back up when an alarm goes off, my way of doing that is to intercept the notification for the alarm. Again, I'm using Google clock, and the way the notifications work may be different on your device.
Here is a taskernet share of a basic project using a notification intercept of the Google Clock alarm. Because there can be namespace collisions with imported projects, I append a variant of my username into variables, task and project names.
For everything to work the way it did I would need the sleep profile to end when an alarm goes off. The problem is I can't remember how that was done. I don't see an end condition that can be added to the sleep profile. The actual sleep profile is the only part I can remember enough to have replicated at this point. It being a from 12am to 12pm with a start task that turns all the volumes down to zero and an end task that turns them all back up. The alarm part I can't recall how it was done.
What was wrong with the notification intercept I shared?
That particular project was to put a large dismiss/snooze on the screen for a low vision individual, but it intercepts the alarm firing notification (for Google clock) and as I already said, intercepting the notification is the way I would do it.
It looks like it is a nice project, but it is requiring a plug-in. However the toggle was made before didn't require any additional things to be added. Isn't there a native event or state that a profile can trigger when an alarm goes off?
I assumed you tried using the native alarm clock or alarm done events in a profile and those didn't work. If you haven't, then try them. They don't work on my devices.
You could research java functions to get the next alarm and use the native java function action to then set a profile time context.
Remembered that tasker was designed to be a framework into which functionality could be added through plugins.
One of those is probably what was used on my LG G4. Now to figure out if this was a part of the one profile or a separate profile. I assume 2nd profile as I don't see any way of adding a 2nd end condition to the first. I remember when it was originally designed the conversation arriving at a solution to function as wanted was a long one. What bothered me is that the thread it took place in is missing from the forum it took place in. I even attempted to inquire there again about making it but after a week of no response I figured it was no longer a good place to post at.

What do you mean "2nd end condition"? A second context (condition) in the profile? Long press the first context.
The sleep profile uses time condition 12am to 12pm. I only need a 2nd condition that ends it but doesn't impact the start. I know for sure I can do that with a second profile now that I know what I needed to use to as event trigger. I can run a task that toggles off the sleep profile and toggles it back on some hours later to trigger again at 12am. I wasn't sure if the alarm event could be an alternative condition for end so that the sleep profile was 12am to alarm done or 12pm.
Hey there.
If you pull down the notification bar and tap on the time or the date it will open the pre-installed clock- and calendar-app respectively. (Which is quite handy for manually setting an alarm or timer.)
However, I prefer Google's clock app over the Huawei one, because I didn't find a way to just punch in timers, always have to scroll through minutes and seconds.
I tried uninstalling the Huawai clock via adb, (hoping I would be asked to assign an app) but then tapping on the time does nothing at all.
So I re-installed the Huawei clock.
I know a work-around would be to use the Google Assistant to start a timer or set an alarm, but I'm very reluctant to use it, Google should not be always listening.
So is there any way to change which app is linked to tapping on the time in the notification bar?
Thank you very much.
