For some reason, the 'alarm types' is no longer showing when I choose 'create alarm'...all I get to choose from is: Repeat weekly, Alarm tone, and Snooze...what happened to Alarm Type?
ReplyDeleteHi Cactusgirl,
DeleteThanks for coming.
Did you mean about the option to change the alarm as briefing or else? This option usually reside below the alarm repeat option. However, did you made any changes or update on your phone before you realized that the alarm type option is no longer available?

Hi Brian Dillan,
DeleteThanks for coming.
Did you create an alarm on your phone? If so, try delete them then see what will happen. Or, do you remember what you did before you encountered this problem?
I can no longer access "more" on my alarm when creating a new Alarm... All I see is Alarm Tone & Snooze. I cannot scroll down to change anything else like name, volume, etc. I can still access it on my older alarm (which is name work), but it won't scroll down on any new ones. Help! How can I gain these functions back?
ReplyDeleteHi Katherine Carpenter,

Did you made any change before encountering this problem? For instance, change any settings/update the phone/install certain apps.
My old alarm has all the options. Including ring ' type', ' name ', etc. Now making new alarms I don't have these options.
ReplyDeleteI'm having the same problem. Did you find out why this is happening or how to change it back

First, try to clear the clock app cache and data by using the following steps:
1. In the apps menu, tap and hold Clock app and then drag it to the App info icon located at the top of the screen.
2. In the app info screen, tap "Clear cache" button and then tap "Clear data" button.
3. Once done, try opening Clock app and then see whether it helps.
Second, if the first solution did not work, try to reset app preferences by using the following steps:
1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap "More" tab.
3. Tap "Application manager".
4. In the Downloaded tab, tap the Menu key and then select "Reset app preferences".
5. Tap "Reset apps" button.
6. Once done, restart the phone and then try using Clock app and then see whether it helps :)
The clock app is gone after I update the phone to the new firmware. 4.3 jellybean
ReplyDeleteHi Siyanda Dzingwe,

Try to check in the application manager whether the clock app has been accidentally disabled. You can do so by going to Settings> tap "More" tab> tap "Application manager"> swipe the screen to the right until you see "Turned off" or "Disabled" tab and then see if the Clock app is listed there, if so tap the row and then tap "Enabled" or "Turned on" button to bring the Clock app back to the Apps menu.
Everytime i try to set multiple alarms each alarm gets set to the same time and it will not do the snooze every five minutes
ReplyDeleteHi Steven May,

Try restarting your phone first. If it didn't help, try performing clear cache for your Clock app.
