    I can’t select the date for the alarm. I hit the calendar button and it opens the calendar but then pressing on a specific date does nothing. It just won’t respond at all. Yes I have tried restarting everything.

    On my alarm I used to be able to scroll down and it would tell me how long before the alarm went off, I loved that feature as I often set it for the wrong day or time…. Help!

    My Damsung 8 used to tell me how long the alarm was set for (which was good bc it would show 1 day etc and I would know I set it for the wrong day) but now it doesn’t do that. How can I get that back?

    I’m currently using an S9 & S10, i’m trying tk set my alarms to like ine single song but everytime i click on an individual alarm (because I have multiple) it keeps saying it was an old one and I didn’t change it. Is there an option where I can change ALL my alarm tone to the same one without having to choose the song on every individual alarm?

    Hi, I would like to set the alarm to shutting down my samsung 8 as I use music to put me to sleep, having to ‘wake’ up to switch off the alarm defeats the purpose. My sister has iPhone XR and has the option to shut down her phone using the timer. I hope you can help me. Regards

    What happened to the repeat alarm function, this is 2019, a clock that you can’t set an alarm to repeat? Weekly alarms? Daily alarms? monthly alarms?

    You could set different alarms for the times you want them to go off, or say “OK Google, set timer 6 hours”. Then every time the alarm goes off, repeat.

    How can I set an alarm to go off every few hours. For example …. every 6 hours.

    I cannot get Google Assistant to set my alarm like I used to do on my S6. I have to use the Dsmsung Boxby which I hate, hate hate. Can I somehow use Google Asst which I use for everything else?

    I have downloaded both a clock & a calculator (am using these 2 items as examples.) NEITHER OF THESE 2 ITEMS put an icon on my home page(s!!) Can anyone out there tell me why???? (I am not a computer programmer; therefore, I do not understand computer programming code!! So, can anyone explain this phenomenon in “plain old” English???? My most s0

    NO, NO, NO. I agree with the person who talked about how it is impossible to get this alarm to stop without turning off the phone. PLEASE FIX THIS OR GIVE ME THE NAME OF A DIFFERENT CLOCK/ALARM WHICH ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!!!!!!

    I have the S8. Was using music from my folder for my alarm, but now want to switch to my phone’s music for default. Instructions to switch defaults pop up when you first launch the option to add your own music, but I have since forgotten. Anyone know how too change the default?

    Is there a way to have the alarm go off after a minute like the old galaxys or note phones. Because if I don’t turn this alarm off it’ll just go on forever.
