There's another behavior with my new S23+ I do not understand. When I set an alarm, normally the Dismiss button shows so I can dismiss the alarm. But sometimes it doesn't show. I set an alarm for 5 AM today. It went off, but there was no way I could dismiss that alarm!
Why is that? Why won't it always show?

Hallo,
I seem to have the following problem with WM5.
it happens sometimes that the alarm rings, however the notification message does not appear and I can't turn the alarm off. So it keeps ringing a lot of time, even if I disable alarms and notifications. If I turn off the volume (which is not a solution anyway) it still vibrates. Also, the red light in the upper right corner keeps on flashing. Soft resetting the device doesn't solve the problem: after reloading, the alarm is still ringing.
I have 3 alarms that are set to ring at an interval of 10 minutes, like 7 am, 7.10 am, 7.20 am.
It looks like this happen when the third alarm rings and the device is turned off.
Has anyone experienced the same problems?
any clue?
thanks
when i put it to sleep mode,the alarm doesn't sound..it seem that the alarm cuts out in sleep mode..is there any tweak for this issue because i've been searching the internet and found that i'm not the only one with this problem?..
if there is no tweak,is there any freeware software that allow alarm to ring in sleep mode?..
i really need help because i'm kinda new to PDAs...

What do you mean putting the Diamond into sleep mode? I only suspend the Diamond by pressing instead of press and hold the power button. The alarm will sound at set schedule. Software like alarm running in background needs Windows mobile to be in suspend mode in order to work.
what i mean is pressing the power button..when you press it once,it will turn off the screen and put it to sleep mode...if you press and hold it,it will turn off the device..2 different things there..i know that the alarm will sound,but try waiting for it sleep again and the alarm wont continue to repeat again eventhough i checked the option of repeating the alarm in the settings..this means that if you set the alarm..alarm will sound but when the device go back to sleep mode,it wont sound anymore..

sorry...accidentally posted too much...dont know how to delete
Make sure your phone isn't silent or set to vibrate only because it won't ring in either of these two cases- the ringer has to be on- also make sure you check the appropriate days of the week that you want it to ring on.
I have the same problem
In particular, I put alarm and it does not sound HOWEVER reminder (5 minutes later) sounds OK
I have checked already all setting I could find. phone is not in silent mode (again reminder sounds OK)
What is also strange I do not have settings of sound for alarm. I have one for reminder but not alarm...
Does anybody else have this problem?
Any ideas regarding solutions?
Hi guys, what it could be if I snooze the reminder many many times, in the end it comes up actually even nor showing neither sounding in any way (but I know it is this particular reminder is going off) resulting in firing up the backlight which stays on forever. After it I can't turn the phone off, it just doesn't respond to the power button press. The only way out is reset. After reset that reminder is showing up with sound and all on-screen notifications as it supposed to, leaving <blank entry> in the notification queue.
Really no thoughts at all?
One of the things I like about the Galaxy Gear is the wake up alarm notification, set the alarm on my Note 3 and it triggers the alarm also on the Gear. The vibrate function is a nicer way to wake and you can dismiss or snooze the alarm from the Gear. Just in case my Note battery runs out overnight, I've been trying to get a stand-alone alarm onto the Gear with vibrate function as a backup.
ZDclock - app in Samgsung Gearmanager. Tried but found the alarm trigger on Gear to be very unreliable. it often misses the set time and only triggers when you hit the home button. Wonder is this a refresh issue, often when I hit home button to check time, it momentarily shows an older time before updating to current?
I've also tried the D-Day app which allows you to set alarm reminders but I still get the same issue - alarm often delayed, late or only goes when I switch on screen.
Anyone had similar issues and resolved, or got a working reliable stand-alone alarm app with vibrate on their gear. I've tried with both stock and null rom, same issue.
Hi I was wondering if I was alone on this but ever since the new update, my alarm would not sound (but screen turns on) if the alarm is using either the Snooze or Dismiss 'Side keys behaviour'. The alarm does sound when the side keys behaviour is set to none though! I've tried both using mp3 files and the default ringtones.
Extra details:
I found that using default ringtones will make the alarm sound BUT for only half a second and never again.
Phone is not on silent mode and alarm volume is up.
Phone is up to date, tried restarting but no differences.
edit: I found that the alarm will not sound as long as the global volume slider for alarms is less than or equal to that of the volume slider on the individual set alarm! this is a weird occurrence
edit: scratch that
Thanks for reading!.
Hello there,
having same issues with alarm since 5.1.1 update. Last 4 days alarm worked fine for 2 days, did not work for other 2 days. Screen is lit up, but there is no sound.
Did not really check what causes it, but I have side keys behaviour on dismiss for sure.
Guess I'll try to increase the global volume slider and see what's up.
Thanks for the post!

I've had this problem since day 1 of upgrading to 5.1.1 from 4.4.4.
If I set the side keys action to "none" then everything works just fine, but as you mentioned, if set to dismiss or snooze, then the phone seems to automatically perform the action without me touching it. That's why we only hear the alarm for a split second. I was late to work two days in a row before I figured this out.
Though, what exactly do you mean by the global volume dictates whether or not the alarm will sound? I'm not sure I understood. I may need to try this.

You know when you press the side volume button that dropdown pops up at the top of the screen? If you click the button on the right of that dropdown, you get options to change the volume of Ringtone, Media, and Alarm volume; I called this the global volume. Then in our alarm edit there is a "Alarm volume" slider for each alarm. So I think I found that as long as the individual alarm volume is greater than that global alarm volume setting, the alarm will sound.
Could test this with a quick alarm one minute from now
I caught my bus late twice because of this I thought I was just getting used to my loud neighbour's 5 am parties.
I'm just glad I'm not the only one having this issue. I posted about it nearly 2 weeks ago and got no response. I did a full wipe before upgrading, then re-wiped again, then flashed the US firmware from two different members. Nothing solved the problem. Now I have to use the screen to snooze or cancel the alarm, which is harder to do when you're half-asleep.
The global volume slider thingie works... kind of...
if the global volume slider for alarms is higher than volume slider for specific alarm, it will sound even with side keys behaviour set to dismiss.
However, once the alarm sounds, it sets the global slider to the same level as is the alarm slider that just triggered. This means on the next day alarm won't sound, bcs global and specific alarm sliders are even (and even is not good enough, global just has to be higher).
Cheers

Geeze - that sucks. I can't believe only a hand-full of us have this problem. What's the deal and how can we fix it?
