So I've had a difficult time snoozing my alarm from my phone since getting the 360. Of course this is at 6am and I'm just fumbling with buttons until the alarm quiets. Problem is I seem to be completely turning the alarm off, which has resulted in me waking up an hour late the last 2 days.
The only conclusion I can reach us the fact that my watch is connected. Is there anyway to ensure I'm snoozing/turning off my alarm from my phone? Am I right in thinking the watch is causing this issue?

The watch and phone have completely separate alarm apps. They don't interact with each other in any way. Has nothing to do with the watch.

It's just strange that all the sudden my volume keys don't "snooze", and nothing is actually showing up on my phone giving me an option to swipe for "snooze" or "turn off".
Seems like the only way to get it to stop is to hit the power button and all that does is turn the alarm off. Have never had this happen until the watch was connected. And at the time it happens my watch is docked and doesn't show anything other than the time and change (normal screen when watch is on the charger. Standard charger that came with the 360 mind you).
Guess it's time to do some experiments and see what's going on.
This might be one of threads that could benefit from knowing which phone and ROM you are using.
On a stock Nexus 5, the Alarm clock works the same since I've purchased the watch. On screen I have the option to Snooze or Turn off the alarm with a swipe.

Note 3 running the same alliance rom v1 and stock clock app that I've been running for the past several months. The alarmed worked literally the day I bought the Moto 360. It stopped working literally the next morning after connecting the watch for the 1st time the day before.
The only thing that changed was using the 360. Guess im.the only one having the issue. Once I get home I'll be able to test it out while on the charger.
Perhaps you can disconnect the 360 tonight and see if you face the same issue tomorrow morning.

I have an I9300 with 4.1.2, but this issue started after the 4.1 upgrade...
My phone sits in a Samsung desk stand all night, which really turns it in to a great nightstand clock. When the phone is placed in the desk stand it automatically switches in to the Desk Clock mode, and when I remove it from the stand it automatically closes the Desk Clock view. Now, the problem I have been seeing is that if the phone is still in the stand when the alarm goes off, I can easily swipe to snooze or turn off the alarm. Some mornings, when the alarm goes off I pick my phone up out of the stand before I swipe to make a choice. When I do this, the swipe options vanish and the alarm continues going off for about 15 minutes. At this point, my options are restart the device, pull the battery, or shove it under my pillow before it wakes up the whole neighborhood.
It seems like the Desk Clock app takes over display of alarms, but it seems to have been broken in 4.1+ to not remain open if an alarm is actively going off.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this?

I don't use it myself so these are shots in the dark:
Do you get a notification when your alarm goes off? Could maybe use the pulldown menu to turn it off.
Does it get back to Desk Clock mode when you set it back down? That would allow you to snooze/turn off the alarm.
Put the phone on silence.
I had a Fitbit Flex as my silent alarm which worked really well until the strap broke and I got fed up being unable to changed alarms when the Fitbit server went down! So I got my new Smartwatch 3 yesterday and found out the out of the box alarm doesn't work in theatre/cinema mode. Bit of an oversight there Google!
So is anyone using this watch to get them up in the mornings?
I tried AlarmClock Extended which seemed to work last night when I tested it after setting up the watch, but the vibrating alarm didn't go off this morning until I turned on the watch with the button (turning off theatre mode).
I'd set my phone to silent which also seems to se the watch to silent! The alarm still vibrated when I turned the watch back on with this though.
Should the phone be in Priority mode perhaps? Or shall I just not bother with theatre mode and turn down the brightness so when I knock the screen during the night it doesn't wake us with the light!?
I have also tried to use Sleep As Android but it is so impossible to configure I gave up.
I use Sleep as Android (SAA) - it's been easier to configure as the dev has updated it, but still takes some time to learn. You can also use the alarm on the watch which usually worked for me, I use SAA because I can configure the alarm on my phone instead of the watch.
Also, I have tilt to wake off so the only time it turns on at night is if I touch the screen--seems to work for me.
Thanks,
I've just taken another look as Sleep as Android and realised the vibrating alarm on the watch doesn't just do it once, it's actually every few seconds increasing in the amount of vibrations. Doh! Thought it didn't work properly! I'm going to give it a proper go again tonight.
Cheers,
Z.

huh! I didnt know that. might have to give that a go myself...
Well, I tried out Sleep as Android properly last night/this morning and the thing woke me up no problem. Bit of a pain to turn off the alarm on the watch but that is probably for the best!

Hi!
I am also searching for a good alarm app. The problem I have is that the vibration is too noisy so I wake up my partner. I have tried SAA and it does a nice gentle few vibrations first, but it is so difficult to stop that I always end up in noisy buzzing...
Any other apps you have tried?
Thanks!

I pulled this from my Nuu mobile 1x and was curious to see if it would work on the note 2 with the right modifications. It turns your phone off and on at a time you pre selected and if you have your alarm clock on your phone will automatically turn on by itself and alarm will go off. Just trying to see if it would work or would the app have to be remade and settings be modified to make it work.
If it would work its got a few benifets your saving money on electric. You could charge the phone up until you go to bed then in the morning it would turn on. You wouldn't have to have phone on all night on the charger I'm not sure the actual cost in electric each month it would cost it keep a phone on the charger at night time turned on but you wouldn't have to worry about that anymore if your someone who uses your phone as a alarm clock.
Huawei watch
AW 1.5
Sometimes ambient mode doesn't kick in, no matter how still I keep the watch or how long I wait. Only a reboot will fix it. On reboot, ambient mode works correctly. The problem will happen randomly, about once a day. It can happen with stock or Watchmaker watch faces.
Settings:
brightness - 1
wrist gestures - off
always on - on
screen lock - off
Phone AW settings:
always on - on
tilt to wake - off
Note, this is not the 'ambient always on' problem. Also, it's not a watchface problem. Yes, all the watchfaces have an ambient mode. When the problem occurs, switching to another watchface doesn't fix it.
Anyone else have this problem?

Someone just posted a bug where his ambient mode doesn't kick in after an alarm goes off until he reboots. Could this be your case too?
I have this too. Been happening about a week. Either an alarm or a timer going off will cause it.
Yes, that's it!
This morning I figured out that it always happens first thing in the morning. I thought it was from being on the charger all night long.
I can confirm this 100% reproducible bug.
Nicholb, did you notice this after the 1.5 update?
Although this is a major bug, there are some relatively easy fixes:
- If you only use the alarm to wake up in the morning, restart your watch after you wake up.
- Try another alarm app (the ones I saw were all pay apps or didn't work).
- For timers, use another app. I recommend MoveUp! MultiTimer.

No, it was working fine after the 1.5 update. Something else must have updated within the last week. I did notice that last night there was an app update to "clock". I'll know tonight if that helped. I've just been rebooting the watch after an alarm goes off as a workaround.
That was it. The update to the clock app has fixed the problem for me.
Have begun to use the alarm function on the CLOCK. I find that it is not reliable. I have tried various ways of clearing and resetting and airplane mode on and off. Many times the alarm does not go off. I tried adding TIMELY in addition to the CLOCK. This morning none of the alarms went off, but when I turned the phone on I could see an older time which then jumped to the real time (on the clock - opening screen - home page) and the TIMELY alarm came on 11 minutes late. I turned that alarm off and went to my desk (fully awake and with phone 2 feet away). I have a second alarm 45 minutes later which did not go off on CLOCK or TIMELY. I turned the phone on and saw time was 12 minutes later than the set time, and TIMELY alarm went off. It is as if the phone stops tracking time when it is off and CLOCK will not recover. Some days both alarms work fine. I have seen threads in other forums indicating this is a problem with this phone. HOW DO I FIX THIS? or IS THERE A WORK AROUND? or IS THERE AN APP I CAN USE THAT WILL BE RELIABLE on this phone.
