I downloaded the app AlarmDroid. Used AlarmDroid to set up an alarm and previewed the tone. Tone worked. Uninstalled AlarmDroid. Then previewed alarm tone in stock alarm app and it worked.

I had a similar issue once I flashed 09/08, after a reboot I lower the volume all the way down and then all back up and my alarms tone were working fine after that.

I set alarms a lot on the fly by using voice commands like "remind me to check food in 7 minutes" or "set alarm for 10 minutes". The problem I'm having is each time I create an alarm, I have to go into the alarm settings and change things like alarm tone, smart alarm >> off, etc. I can't change the defaults, I can only change one time single alarm settings, the defaults are always the same, "Walk in the forest alarm" alarm tone, and smart alarm >> on.
With my Nexus S 4G, I use to be able to press the menu button in the clock app and click a "settings" option which allowed me to change defaults but not on my Galaxy S III, the only options here are "sort by time" and "delete".
The section of the phone where the alarms are listed is in the Clock app. If there's simply no way to change the defaults I'm ok with installing a 3rd party app so long as I can create alarms via voice commands since I use it often as a timer for little things like 10 minutes to check laundry or 7 minutes till food is done cooking. So far I have not found an app that can replace the clock for settings alarms by voice command.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I did find this link which discusses this very topic, but it's old and appears to be abandoned. Unfortunately no solution was found: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/584055-stock-alarm-clock-default-ring-tone.html
I'm not sure if linking to other sites is frowned upon so please don't eat me
Anyone have any 3rd party suggestions for a voice enabled alarm clock?

Ok I think I finally found the information I've been looking for, will report back after testing: http://smallbusiness.chron.com/set-up-android-clock-work-voice-actions-31627.html
In case the site goes down, this is a quote taken from step 2. "Select an alarm clock app from the list that supports the "Set Alarm" voice action. Alarm Clock Xtreme, Gentle Alarm and Alarm Clock Plus all support Voice Action functions for Gingerbread, Android's 2.3 update."
Did you test these apps????
I was so glad to see smn mention this annoying problem with Samsung divises but you didnt come back to tell us if these apps work with the voice commands.
If you have any news, please inform.

Oh hey just saw this post. I haven't tested any of these programs I'm afraid. I started using custom ROM's shortly after this post and this hasn't been an issue with AOSP. However I have recently gone back to a Touchwiz ROM due to the fact that AOSP ROM's for the galaxy s3 are rife with bugs and lack any real benefit other than having the latest version of android and occasionally an exclusive feature or two (after half a year of flashing my ass off, AOSP is simply not worth it unless you're using a nexus device).
After looking for a solution again, I stumbled on this old thread and I'm surprised to see that this clear design flaw still hasn't been resolved without using a 3rd party program, fortunately these programs reportedly work with google now (google search) so I'll look around, test some out and report back when I find a winner.
I know the app Gentle Alarm is reported to work as stated here: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/584055-stock-alarm-clock-default-ring-tone.html though I'm confident others like Alarm Clock Xtreme and Circle Alarm (which is free) should work as well.
-------------------
Update: Been using Gentle Alarm, all better now. It's a pay app, so I'd recommend trying out Circle Alarm first. I don't generally like having to install 3rd party apps to use instead of default ones but It's a small app and it seems to be fine. I'll report back if I notice any battery issues.
Anyone know how to change the alarm melody with the default clock app? I can change the alarm type (vibration/melody/briefing) but I cant seem to choose the melody I want like with my ring tone.
In the alarm settings, hit More, then Alarm Tone.

Hi all.
I wanted to ask if anyone of you tell me which app I have to install as an alarm clock, to have the ability to start an app when the alarm goes on.
I would like to start the radio, so as to have the effect RADIO ALARM at the morning.
Can anyone tell me which one to use?
Android Radio Alarm
I mean not internet radio, but tha ability to start radio app from my apps...

Gentle Alarm allows you to choose which app starts but I think that the app starts when you switch off the alarm.
ok...I've resolved.
I use SmartConnect of Sony, then create an event on a determinate time, that launch radio app. Works!
AppAlarm Pro should do this. Open source, too.
Ok..now it's that for I search! thanks!
Old thread, but relevant to those who might be interested:

On my Samsung Galaxy S3, #SALARM# outputs “Alarm Not Set” and #SASET# outputs 0. However, I do have alarms set using the app Alarm Clock Xtreme.
Why isn’t Zooper able to retrieve the next alarm time? Is this a bug with either Alarm Clock Xtreme or Zooper? Is there a workaround?

I installed Alarm Clock Xtreme Free on my SG3 and it works for me. Are you rooted or using a custom ROM?

Yes, I am rooted, but I am not using a custom ROM. Would simply rooting the phone change something like this?
Also, could it be that you still have an alarm set on your stock alarm clock for the same time as the one in your Alarm Clock Xtreme Free, and that's what ZW is reading as the #SALARM#? Just trying to think of everything here...

Was just curious about which ROM you were using.
No, I don't have any alarms set using the stock Samsung Alarm program (which is pretty nice).
I did notice that when I set an alarm with ACXF, it doesn't show up in the Samsung Alarm program and vice versa, which is probably the source of your issue.
Wow thats baaaaad man thats bad it happens to me all the tme

If that is the source of my issue, wouldn't you then experience the same problem of ZW's #SALARM# not retrieving the next alarm time from ACXF? Or am I misunderstanding something? (Which is entirely possible, because I'm quite tired at the moment. )
After much research (as I'm a beginner to the world of Android development/hackery), I have found that the culprit is:
Code:
com.sec.android.app.clockpackage
Within minutes of Alarm Clock Xtreme Free setting the alarm and properly storing the data in the system settings database, the above app (Samsung's built-in clock app) then erases that data, which is stored with the ID of NEXT_ALARM_FORMATTED.
Why? I have no idea, but it sure is frustrating! I wish I could simply remove this offending app so that my next alarm time is properly reported, but this particular one seems to be fairly integral to the phone.
See picture, no alarm set, but alarm rings at 22:59

Did You have try to delete all alarms and set then one more time? This could be possible bug, would be good to report it on OP official site. Alternative is use Google Clock App, i think it is better, since there we can adjust volume at beginning, this full loud alarm drive me crazy

Yes I deleted all alarms, no success.
BTW. you can adjust the alarm volume, have a look in sound & vibrations
Sent from my OnePlus 5T using XDA Labs
In Google clock this works bit different, You can set that alarm start ring with volume 2 and will rise volume every 10 sec. Awesome thing, with vibrations sometimes I don't need sound to wake up But I think You need to report this as bug here: https://forums.oneplus.net/feedback/
