how to turn off the alarm

[simba2585]

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.
