Is it just me or does snoozing an alarm from the 4.2 DeskClock unlock the phone to the Home screen? Anyone know how to disable this?
If you are snoozing an alarm, why would you want your phone to unlock, I would rather it just turn the screen back off, or at least stay at the lock screen... Sometimes I really wonder about Google coders.
Any suggestions for an alarm app that also has a built-in stopwatch and timer? I've tried Alarm Clock Xtreme and Alarm Clock +, but neither have both a stopwatch and timer.
I have noticed that too and dont like the fact that it unlocks. I just thought about this but I havent tried using the volume buttons to snooze instead of the slider. I am going to try that now and see what happens. Maybe that will work better.
EDIT: Nope, still does it.

I have installed Mylock and it works fine. I no longer have to mess about unlocking the screen after pressing the power button to wake up the phone.
BUT
As I am currently staying away from home, I set the alarm last night for 7:30 and went to sleep.
At 7:30 the alarm went off. Really loud and yes it did wake me up but here is my problem.
HOW DO I TURN THE ALARM OFF?
Normally you swipe down but this option is no longer there (because of Mylock) and search as I could (whilst the alarm kept sounding) there seems no other way to turn off the alarm.
In the end I had to power off the phone!
So am I being stupid here or does Mylock really disable the ONLY way of switching off the alarm?
Thanks
If you use HTC's clock application, the only way to turn it off is to use the lock screen - which you've disabled. You'll need to download and use a different clock application that uses Android's embedded clock instead of HTC's clock.
I used DeskClock to handle that when I was playing around with different lock screens. Acer Liquid clock also apparently works fine.
I use Aclock. Works great with myLock and looks pretty awesome!
Thanks
It clearly wasn't me being stupid.
I will give those other alarms a go
Cheers
I downloaded and installed the rotary with menu key unlock scree, very cool and I love it. However when I use the alarm there is noway to shut alarm off with this unlock screen. Nothing comes up and says dismiss or snooze like it does with stock unlock screen. Also you can't even go to alarm and silence it that way either. I had to do a reboot to get alarm to stop playing.
Any ideas on how to get alarm to work with custom unlock?
Thanks guys

You have to use the vanilla clock for your alarm, the HTC clock will only work with the HTC lock screen. I'm back to the stock lock screen because of this and the HTC lock screen will preview new messages
My wife likes the stock Android lock screen much better than the HTC Sense lock screen, especially due to being able to set the phone to silent right from the lock screen rather than having to unlock, press and hold power, then selecting silent. However, she can't use it, because the stock lock screen won't shut off a blaring alarm from the alarm clock!
Is there maybe a secret way to set the phone to silent right from the stock HTC Sense lock screen?
Or is there a way to mod the stock Android lock screen to shut off the Sense alarm clock when it's going off?
My wife is running the stock Froyo ROM.
I'm using sky-raider and it's been a long time since I've used the stock rom, so I don't recall if this worked there, but... long press the power button when on the lock screen, and you'll get a menu one of the options will allow you to toggle silent mode.
There's also an app called Widget Locker which replaces your lock-screen and allows you to add widgets to it.

Back in the Old Eris/Hero days it was not possible to use the HTC alarm clock with the Stock Android Lock Screen because you would not be able to turn the alarm off. The solution was to use the old Android Alarm or a third party alarm.
Hope this helps
You can get a app called "Widget Locker". This app allows you to place widgets on the lock screen as well as change the slide to unlock bar. She could just change to bar to the one where instead of sliding right to unlock, you slide left to silence the phone. Works great for me. here is the link... Widget Locker

For some reason my snooze isn't working. I have it set to a 5 minute interval with 3 repeats. When the alarm is going off, I swipe up to snooze to make sure I don't accidentally cancel the alarm but the snooze alarm never goes off again. I have tried testing just now and when I snooze I see the "Zzzz" next to my alarm, but when the 5 minutes elapse, the alarm does not go off and the "Zzzz" is gone. I am on stock but rooted. Anyone else having this issue and know how to fix it?

Snooze has never worked for me, even pure stock. I've heard of it not working for someone else too.

Try a different app like alarm clock plus. You don't need snooze you should be up at the first alarm lol :silly:
Ok I thought it was just me lol this happens to me also. But ill be half asleep to realize it lol This is why I also set my home alarm clock. If it wasnt for that id be late for work lol
Snooze works great for me. Try swiping in towards the center of the screen instead of up. Maybe that will help. I use mine every morning with no issues.

Hi I have G8 at&t running Android 10. For some reason my alarm clock and timer doesn't show option to snooze or stop when it's go off on lock screen. Anyone face this problem? I already tried clear data but it didn't seem to fix it.
