Note 3: How can I clear the ‘Alarm (Snoozed)’ notifications? They won’t swipe away, and ‘Clear notifications’ clears every one except those. I can have all alarms off, and the Alarm icon still shows in notification bar. At the Application Manager, the only buttons I can click are Clear Cache or Force Stop. The Noticiations box is checked but sort if greyed out so I can’t change it. Thanks!
P.S. I also have an S7, and those notifications swipe away no problem.
Galaxy Note says
Check clock app.
The icon in status bar indicates there is one further alarm. This usually means there is a repeated alarm.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and I don’t know how to change the length of the alarm. It just goes on and on and on. I don’t want any intervals or for it to repeat. I’ve changed and turned off the snooze setting but nothing works.
Galaxy Note says
You can stop the alarm by swiping in the opposite direction to snooze.
For snooze settings, you can adjust it in clock app. For each alarm, you can set times and interval for snooze.

What settings did you changed? For each alarm, you can check the settings after you change them.

I need to recover data from my stop watch that accidentally got erased on my Samsung note 3….is this possible?
Simon says
Probably it is not worthwhile. it is time and money consuming and no service providers can guarantee anything.

If I power off the phone will the alarm work ?
Simon says
No, the alarm will NOT work if the phone is powered off. All smartphone alarms work only when the phone is powered on

How can I change the sound when the timer goes off? I would like to have music play when the time is up?
Simon says
You need use alarm instead of timer for this, or probably some third party apps.

I just down loaded the updated version of the note 3 on my phone and lost the visual of the alarm clock on my home page. How do I get it back to display on my phone? The gigits tab disappeared as well.
Simon says
You need add the widgets to home screen again after the update.

victor says
having trouble adding Oklahoma City to my world clock city does not appear to be a option how can I resolve this issue?????
Lynsay says
Oklahoma city isn’t an option because we aren’t considered a ‘major city’. Houston is the next best choice for us OKC people.
Lynsay says
No I’m sorry I take that back, it would be Dallas. Duh. My bad
