One-time-only alarms?

K
kalyn last edited by

I would like a way to set one-time-only alarms, that is, alarms that would self delete after being dismissed.

It seems there's no way to do that with the native Clock app by Google (I'm using a Pixel phone). Is there?

Alternatively, do you know any apps on Google Play that have that feature?

With the Google Clock app, the alternative is to https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/9275058?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid#zippy=%2Con-a-phone-or-tablet .

Saying "Set an alarm at [hour] [minutes]" will set a one-time alarm, and it will be automatically removed after dismissing it.

I also faced the same issue with the Stock Alarm. Stock alarm was not able to recognize the SD Card songs. I vaguely remembered the solution. Couple of restarts and removing the SD Card from the phone and plugging it again solved the issue fro me. But now I installed Alarm Klock which has the option to see all the Songs on SD Card by Author and Album wise. It has vibrating feature which doesn't there in stock Alarm.

Well, I couldn't find the solution so I followed Ian Clark's advice and performed factory reset. That helped.

As long as the alarm in fact snoozed and didn't get turned off I'd think you'd be safe, just maybe a bit later than normal. I can't find any other info about how to force alarms to play over notifications or of anyone else having the issue. If you're worried you could silence your phone at night, then notifications would be silent but the alarm would still go off.

It may be worth noting that the boot time for the nexus one is about a minute. I think the expected use pattern of Android devices is 'always on', so it's been optimized for everything but boot time.

As it turns out, the update skrewed up the link between alarms and ringtones resp. alarm sound. For me, the alarm app showed 17 instead of a sound name. You simply have to choose a new sound (or reselect the old one, as it where) and you have audible alarms back.

Honestly easiest way for me: Download Zedge. (Free app) Look up what sound you want (it has alot) Set as "alarm sound" It is now Google clock's alarm default And it also has wallpapers, ringtones, notification sounds and so on. You can use them anywhere even Facebook messenger. Hope this helps

Are you using the stock Clock application? If so, have you unchecked "Vibrate" from the alarm settings? Go to the stock Clock application. Select the (leftmost) alarm tab in order to configure or add new alarms. Uncheck "Vibrate." This should solve the problem. I have the same device, which I usually keep in silent mode, and my alarm is audible. As a side note, you could put the device in Airplane mode at night so that texts/calls don't come in. Either way, the alarm will still sound normally.

Swipe down from the alarm notification itself to expand it (not from the top of the screen to get to quick settings). It will expand other notifications, too, to see the body of an email, or the contents of a chat message. For pending alarms, it will show the dismiss button. I was seeing far more sporadic behavior as to when it showed up and when it didn't.

Clock, the native clock program was causing it. I can only guess that some developer somewhere decided that it should automatically start creating alarms for people. What about people who work incompatible hours? If anyone else encountered this please let me know. I had to go to the programs list, click Clock and disable the alarm.

Llama. A laymans version of Tasker. It can do so much more but should suffice with minimal battery impact as it uses cell sites to identify rather than gps.

The time issue seems to be a known bug has already been reported and fixed in Aug 2012: SMS times bug - August 2012 Timestamp for text messages - May 2012 I suggest you update to the latest version, currently at 2.1.3.767 Beta. If that still doesn't work, I suggest you report it.

Clock is the standard application for alarms. In Android, pretty much every feature is an Application, and one application can be replaced by the other.

I've got the same problem and the annoying sound can not be found in /System/media/audio/, but in /system/app/DeskClock.apk/assets/sounds/Timer_Expire.ogg. In any case, it seems difficult or impossible to change. There is more info here: http://androidforums.com/nexus-4/668411-super-harsh-countdown-timer-sound-nexus-4-how-change.html

The default reminder time is actually based on your calendar. If you open your calendar, open Settings, and select General settings, "Default reminder time" is near the bottom (I'm working from Cyanogenmod 10, but AOSP/Nexus devices should be similar). This controls the general notification time. The Now functionality is separate, and (from what I understand) is based entirely on travel time. If your appointment has a destination that Google recognizes, it will calculate travel time and pop up a card far enough ahead to allow you to meet that travel time and arrive on time. I'm not positive if it factors in your reminder time into this or not, but it's possible that it is. If that's the case, it will notify you 10 minutes + travel time currently, and if you modify the calendar notification time, it should modify the Now notification time. Again, this is speculation based on how I understand Now to function, but I believe it's fairly accurate based on my experience.

You need to adjust the volume of the alarm once you connect your BT speakers. In Android, the volume of audio is determined by two mostly orthogonal things: the first is the type of the audio (it's called stream type), so you have separate volume settings for media, ringtones, alarms, etc; the second is the kind of the output device: built-in speaker, headphones, BT headset, USB, etc. You might have noticed that media volume for the phone speaker and headphones is controlled separately. The same thing is for BT sound output.
