[Q] Screen off after alarm snoze - Paranoid Android Q&A

Hi there;
After a alarm is snoozed, the screen stays on.
That's particularly anoying at 5am when it's dark and you just want to snooze and get some more sleep.
Is there any way to change that and i'm missing?
By the way it's PA 4.5 Beta 2.
Thanks in advance

You could always change the 'sleep' option in settings to turn off the screen in 15 seconds. So after snoozing, the screen would turn off fast.
Otherwise install another alarm clock app like this one

It has this neat feature that you can just flip the phone when you want it to snooze.
Hope this helps!

MyLock + Alarms : Am I being stupid?

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

Impossible to turn off alarm clock!!

Sometimes my alarm clock does not show any popup to turn it off!!!
The only way to turn the alarm of is then to turn of the phone!!
The same thing is with the calendar.
What's strange it looks like the phone is changing its mind according to it's mood and sometimes the popup shows on and sometimes it doesn't.
I've found this thread but on my HTC desire Z there is no such option:
SETTINGS/sounds&notifications/notifications.then in events scroll to reminders then tick the box for display message on screen tab
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Even if it was there, why would the phone behave differently without changing anything in the settings?
So anyone knows what to do?
It really makes me mad when it rings early in the morning and there is no f$#$$popup there.
Please help.
you may have to do a full restore
What do you mean? Would you be more specific?
ps. I've found many people have this problem (for ex. on Polish forum), no one knows what's the cause.
Just use alarm clock plus, it has nap setting if ur still sleepy long press for nap and minutes will pop-up very helpful for last minute haha

Alarm Snooze Not Working

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.

[Q] 4.2 Alarm Snooze Unlocks to Home

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 use Sleep as Android and it'll do exactly what you're looking for - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&hl=en
I've got mine set up to just buzz my watch first, then a failsafe that goes off on my watch and phone.
Ooooo looks brilliant!!! Do all the other features like sleep tracking etc drain the battery much then?

It used to drain your battery totally, but dev recently got it working excellent instead.
Now our sw3 is one of the most battery efficient watch
To run the app on, battery "drains" around 17% over night, which is great since it various sensors are being used.
Regarding vibration on the watch in general: I think it's as easy as, if an app generates vibration alerts on your phone, it'll generate these on the watch too.

I just got the SW3 yesterday. I'm trying to get my alarms to sync, found this an tried Sleep as Android. However, it seems no matter what settings I use, my watch only buzzes once very briefly for the alarm while it goes off as normal on my phone. As if just a notification that an alarm is going off. Is this just how it works? Any ideas?
I followed the "instruction" chapter on wearables to enable Smartwatch in the app and enabled the vibration (Smartwatch) from start option, but I can't find any other real set up options or instructions.

I made two alarms - One with the phone vibrating / making noise, and the watch vibrating, then one set ~5 min before that, set to silent, and disabled vibration (so the phone does nothing), and set the Vibrate (Smartwatch) to "From start" as well.
When the first alarm goes off, mine buzzes once briefly at the time of the alarm, and then once again maybe 30 seconds later, then it starts getting more frequent after that. When I just went to check what my settings were, I also noticed there's an option to start the watch vibration "before" the alarm - though I'm not sure how much before the alarm "before" is, since it doesn't seem to be configurable, but that may alleviate my use of two alarms.
Hope that helps!
Official Clock app from Google
now u can install on any android and the alarm appear on smartwatch , to dismiss or postpone
