My wife has an alarm set to remind her to take time-sensitive medicine every night at 9 p.m.; she noticed that if she doesn't hear the alarm the first time there is no notification that stays on the screen, which has caused her to not take her meds on time. Anyone know how to make an alarm notification stay on the screen or at the very least in the 'notification area' until it is cleared/dismissed?
She has the snooze set to the minimum time (3 min) and the repeat set to the max (10 times) increasing her chances of hearing the alarm in a decent amount of time.
Her phone is unrooted -- and she wants it to stay that way until she is used to Android. She is coming (embarrassingly) from the Palm Treo Pro that she had for over 2 years, so it has been a learning experience.
Not really a fix, but she can always create a recurring calendar events for that time. The calendar event notifications stay there until you dismiss them.

Do you guys often find that the alarm notification icon sometimes disappears for no reason?
Yeah, mine comes on and goes off for no apparent reason. Have looked at all the setting but have not found a solution. Not a deal breaker though since there are so many other alarm apps on the market, although it would be good to get the stock on working reliably.
no issue with mine. i purchased mine 8 days ago and i use the alarm every day with no issues so far. i am running the bell rom and am rooted
This happens with mine as well, but no issue of the alarm not coming on at the correct time.
this happens to me too!! i've my morning alarm set for 7am all weekdays. however, whenever i turn off the phone, or after an one-week cycle, the notification icon would disappear.
Although it still indicates that the alarms are "on" when i look at all alarms within the Clock app, i just get paranoid that i wont go off the next day (since the notification icon disappears and the lock screen does not indicate an alarm is active).
does anyone know a fix to this?? please help!
Ever used your XP to replace your alarm clock? Has it been a good substitute? I'm thinking of doing that... I'm wondering if it will work better than the broken one I have now and the cheap one I bought from Walmart...
I use it all the time, it's loud and obnoxious. Just the thing you'll need to wake up in the morning haha. It's easy to set too, and you can have lots of different alarms set, it's a pretty sweet built in clock/alarm.
Yes. Yes. It is very very good as an alarm.
I use alarm clock plus, it's free and more obnoxious than STOCK

I use the Xperia Play as my default alarm clock and I use the ' Xperia ' ringtone for the alarm. Sounds so nice in the morning
I have the dock and it makes the XP the best Alarm Clock ever.
when it wakes me up I never now which button is snoose and which is disable - I wish they were bigger in size and coloured red and green to make it more visible
Combined with the dock, it's my current alarm clock. I use the " rise up" melody, because it's nice enough, and it's been fine so far.
I've used it before as an alarm. It was good. It woke me up anyway.

Yeah, I guess this should all make sense since you can hook it up with a speaker...
Yup use it everyday, I have the XP dock sitting beside my bed, threw out my old alarm clock.

So what if the sound is off (from the power button) to not wake people up because of notification sounds... will it still beep or make noise to wake you up?
I place my phone right next to my head and I wake up to Edith Piaf, Inception baby!
I use the default alarm clock that's in stock, I don't like the standard ringtone, hence why it's easy to wake up every morning

The alarm clock will still go off as loud as possible even with sound off, no need to worry. I keep my phone on vibrate at all times and it has never failed to play the alarm sounds and wake me up.
Always! Stock alarm clock with the Piezo Alarm as the sound with volume all the way up... Very ear piercing! Even if I snooze the alarm for about 40 minutes or until my mum yells at me to actually get up.
please note i have had some issues with the alarm not going off even though i set a test alarm and i didnt use a task killer.

That exact same thing has happened to me maybe once or twice. It would just say that my alarm is set for the next day, like it was skipped or something.
I bought the XperiaPlay dock since it was only cheap for this very purpose.
Sadly, didn't realise I couldn't use it with any kind of case.
So I have been unable to use the dock.
Wow, this is some coincidence. I was just about to post and saw this topic.
Just got my dock. Only problem is, the phone doesn't go into the alarm clock mode as shown in the pictures. I guess it's because of some bloatware i removed. can someone please tell me what app is required for the dock-clock mode?
Also, like some people are using it, I would also be keeping it on a small side-table next to my bed, with both cables unplugged. Since the phone is plugged into the earphone jack on the dock, wouldn't that disable the phone speakers and therefore no alarm sound?
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.
Hi everyone! I love this phone, a bit buggy tho. Even though I've disabled and deleted all alarms from my clock app, the alarm icon won't disappear from my status bar, even after restarting. First time I've seen this in years of android. Any thoughts?
Update: It was my Bose sleep buds app, which is also a little buggy, had to force stop it. My last phone hid the notification, I now know Bose uses a system alarm.
