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.

Hi all
Is anyone using any form of reminders for miscalls and messages?
I tend to miss calls and messages on my Galaxy S and I never know about it till the next time I flick the screen on
It would be great if this phone had some form of lighting like my old 5800 which would blink its button when the phone had a notification but sadly the Galaxy S does not
So yeah just wondering if anyone is using some form of reminder application
An ideal application would be one that makes a noise every 15 or 30mins
Research bln notifications and using minimalistic text with tasker... Works for me.

Missed reminder perfect foy my needs. Check it out.
Go SMS and Hand something have reminders and popups.
NoLED (my favorite app)
or BLN (less customizable options compared to NoLED , i.e you cant distinguish between calls, SMSs, emails, gtalk and other types of notifications. But has better battery life)

Try phoneweaver. It gives an audible reminder of missed calls and sms etc. After each reminder it waits double the previous reminder time before giving another audible reminder. The automatic profile switching is nice too.

Im also looking for some appliacation that can repeat the tone or vibrate again with in a preset time if the SMS/call is not checked.

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!
Did a search and didn't find anything on the topic.
I set my alarm to a 10 minute snooze,with 2 snooze max. The issue is it somehow resets to a 3 minute snooze every day unless I reset it.
Anyone else have this issue?
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.

Today 2 of my alarms didn't sound and showed as missed. The third one sounded 3 minutes later.
When I go to alarms menu most of the time it does not show any alarm and don't allow me to create a new one(I can choose the time but it doesn't save it). I have to try many times to make it work.
Am I the only one with this bug?
The only alarm related bug I've seen on Q beta 3 are that the next alarm shown in the notification shade is shown as the end of the current calendar event (if one is in progress) or the start of the next calendar event. The next alarm shown on the AOD is also the current time +5 minutes.
I haven't missed any alarms to my knowledge.
