There is a box with a check in it that shows up between the battery icon and time in the notification bar when you have an alarm set. Does anyone know how to hide the icon? I have alarms set for everyday of the week so it is ALWAYS there and I would prefer it not be.

Stock alarm clock?
I switched to alarm clock extreme, you can definitely disable the notification for it, only shows up if you happen to have an alarm snoozed.
I too would love to disable this, but it doesn't look there are any options in the stock ROM to get rid of it. I don't mind so much that it wants to have an icon up there, but the fact that the icon looks NOTHING like an alarm clock makes me want to get rid of it!
it's not a check it's clock hands
HA! Okay, I see it now, but still, the default google alarm app has a much more obvious icon than this thing...

I know this is an ancient thread, but with the latest version (even in the paid version from amazon.com's free app of the day ) it's not obvious how to disable it from always being in the notifications list at the very top priority mad: .
Go to Settings => General Settings => Show Notifications, then uncheck all listed, alarm, timer, stopwatch.
It's confusing because you're worried you wont get the alarm POPUP, but it's just the NOTIFICATION icon is gone. They should probably disable it in the default settings.

Hi all,
I had a problem last night where i was testing out the alarm feature. It went off and a small dialogue box popped up and the left button stated 'dismiss', i clicked somewhere other than those areas and then the alarm bell icon went away and the alarm had entered snooze mode - it kept going off every minute or something and there was no way to turn it off.
can anyone shed some light on this if the icon disappears?
also how can i change the alarm tone? going into the sounds and notifications option i get:
''Enable sounds for:
- Events
- Programs:
--Notifications (alarms, reminders)
- Screen taps
- Hardware buttons''
on the second tab called notifications
theres options for ''Event'' allowing to choose an event to assign a sound for it. Theres no Even called alarm or notification but there is one for Reminders. I changed the reminders tone but still that didnt change the alarm tone that went off.
seems the alarm hasnt had much focus during implementation.
thanks,

Change the alarm tone directly on the Clock & Alarms screen. Just tap the little yellow bell thing.
perfect thanks! i didnt know the wee bells were selectable for more features.
anyone else know the solution to the other query?

the exact same thing happened to me too. feels like another bug.
What's everyones favorite alarm app?
I'm using Alarm Clock Plus V2 right now. I like it but it can be buggy at times. Also, I can only set it to play one song and not a playlist. This has the side affect of me learning to hate whatever song wakes me up.
On the other hand it asks me math questions to dismiss it. Gets my brain working and I'm less likely to fall asleep again, which is nice.
Other than that it functions much like the stock alarm with some extra features.
Oh, and it's free.
Are there any other alarms with great features I'm missing out on?
A reliable alarm is very important, so I just use stock.
Kaloer Clock
Kaloer Clock is a fantastic alarm clock. Lots of configurable options and very reliable.
i do not find an option to dismiss the alarm if i wake up early. The only option is to turn off the recurring alarm. There is a notification which shows up a minute before the alarm sounds to dismiss it.
In oneplus that notification would show up an hour before the alarm sounds and could easily be dismissed without affecting the recurring alarm.
Is there any setting to allow me to dismiss the alarm for the day rather than turning it off?
I am currently using the stock clocck app. Thanks.
You can use Alarm Clock Xtreme, which has the option "Skip next".

I am using the alarm clock: Alarm Clock Plus.
When the phone screen is off, the alarm opens full screen so I can interact with it. When the phone is in use, I get a notification bar that I have to click in order to open the alarm clock. I would like to eliminate the notfvication bar. I've checked the settings for the app and am left thinking that it's some feature of the OS. Can someone tell me how to change this functionality?

Have you asked the Alarm Clock Plus developer?
I sent an email, but have heard nothing back yet.
i tested both apps. Given all permissions, autostart,no battery optimization, all notification and so on.
i set up a alarm, now i have an icon and a message in statusbar for next alarm.
So if swipe all open apps away in miui launcher, by swiping long up those apps i mean.
Than is the icon and message in statusbar away and no alarm anymore.
With original Clock there is no problem.
I also testet AmDroid and Alarmy to make them to system apps. It is the same situation.
Any solution or tipps for alarm apps?
