Disable sleep alarm

AlexisJL — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 22:17:38 GMT

Hi, I mean, I'm fine that after 10 pm my smartphone is grayscaled, but I would like to disable every day morning alarm to sleep until I want...

Looks like I have to have at least one day of week enabled (For now I only enabled sunday 7 am)... I can't disable it at all...

Try going into clock > alarms and seeing if there is a tile at the top to control it. After you toggle that off, go settings > digital wellbeing > bedtime mode and activate the schedule from there. Then setup when you want it to go into bedtime mode.

The update ruined the alarms

Normally when you enable sleep mode it turns off after the "wake up time alarm" goes off.

Now it stays on sleep mode & my other alarms never went off.

Not good.

I was just awoken by an alarm I didn't set. It's Sunday and I am awake at 7am to alarm that I cannot seem to delete. It says it's scheduled to go off at 7am daily. How do I delete alarms? And why/how did this alarm set itself?

Similar experience for me except it was at 5:30 a.m. and there are no alarms set in my Clocks app. I have had an alarm icon showing in the top right corner but no alarms set. I did do two system updates recently. Another post mentioned going to Digital Wellbeing and updating Focus Mode. I don't have any turned on but when I set up Sleep Mode and selected Delete, a message said all wake-up alarms would be deleted. After deleting it, the alarm icon disappeared.

Wake up alarm getting enabled by itself

galactic22 — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 22:23:29 GMT

This issue seems to be happening to both me and my girlfriend. Both of use are using Galaxy phones (s22 and s22+). Since updating the Clock app to 12.2.06.4 on February 10, our alarms have been going off their own even though we have them turned off.

We have two sleep schedules, one for weekdays and one for weekends. The weekend alarms previously had the "Wake up alarm" feature turned off.

For two days in a row now, the alarms have gone off on their own, preventing us from sleeping in. We keep on turning off the wake up alarm, but it turns itself back on the following day.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: some more details since this seems to come up a lot.

Some people have suggested the issue could be due to syncing alarms between my phone and a smart watch. I don't have a smart watch so that scenario doesn't apply.
Others have suggested the issue could be some routine tied to a smart device in SmartThings. While I do have the smart things app downloaded, it is only used to turn my wifi plug on and off. Nothing related to alarms.
Tons of 1-star reviews have popped up for the Clock app since February all complaining about this, so it definitely seems related to the latest update.

Yes this is happening to me and my girlfriend as well. We're both using s22 phones. The clock app just got updated a couple days ago, so I suspect it's a regression in the latest patch.

That makes some sense, but nonetheless annoying. I cannot find a way to delete the alarms. It seems you can only turn them off.

Re: Re: Re: Random alarm setting

galactic22 — Sun, 12 Feb 2023 21:03:43 GMT

If you want to delete a sleep schedule, it seems like you have to click on the "Sleep settings" button underneath it. From there, click on the section that says "turn on automatically". Then long press the schedule you want to delete and you can remove it from there.

It's still not a good workaround since I want to be able to use sleep schedules on the weekend, just without the alarm.

I have been seeing the exact same thing. It's gotta be a routine, right?

Re: Wake up alarm getting enabled by itself

I encounter the same issue on Galaxy Tab S8. Clock app version is 12.2.06.4 for me as well.

Re: Wake up alarm getting enabled by itself

Ga8 — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 07:02:32 GMT

I've experiencing the same thing. When using the sleep schedule, it automatically turns on the alarm and there seems to be no way of turning it off. When turned off, it activates the frigging alarm. This is utterly frustrating.

Modes and Routines Still Sucks!

OffDatGoGo — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 13:51:34 GMT

Modes and Routines (MAR) was awful on my S21U running OneUI 5.0. MAR still sucks on my new S23U running OneUI 5.1.

At least it turns off at the set time now. My issue now is that "Wake-up alarm* enables itself every time after my sleep schedule ends. I turn it off, the next cycle precesses and again the wake-up alarm enables itself.

Why can't Samsung get this right?

Sleep mode not respecting setting for no alarm

apsung1 — Sat, 18 Feb 2023 01:53:13 GMT

Please help, i try to turn off the alarm part of sleep mode (i like all other features but don't want the alarm to go off at the end of sleep mode) I turned off the alarm within the sleep mode settings, but it keeps turning itself back on. How can you make sure that the alarm stays off?

Same here

Re: Sleep mode not respecting setting for no alarm

CDLgal — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 23:59:12 GMT

I wonder if we're using the same clock app? My icon is purple square then White round circle with hour/minute hands.
Here r my parameters:
Clock, menu
1) Edit - to delete
2) Sort - alarm time order
3) Settings -
Alerts - off
World clock - off
Times - sound on / vibration on or off /mini timer - off
Privacy - customization off

Do initials for days of week have a circle?
That means they're activated in my app. (Work)
I currently have 12 alarms.
Most have names for easy recognition for making changes. Some individual ones r linked to single calendar date so they auto awaken me, (dr. Appointment)

I just started using sleep mode. Don't have figured out, want to cancel it.
I'm using Do not Disturb (allowing Favorites to call / text) and adding AIRPLANE mode after night shift when wanting uninterrupted day sleeping.
