Alarm duration customization

[userxhz5X1cOyv]

I have an a17. Every alarm runs for 5 minutes of sounding off before it snoozes itself ( if snooze is on). I would like to be able to modify the length of the alarm sound. 30 seconds would be plenty at least for me. Is there any way to customize the length of the alarm sound?

Yes. You can customize the clock "snooze" setting by tapping the clock app > select a saved alarm or tap the + for new alarm > tap on snooze > then select "custom" interval > then select your desired snooze time.

I was always under the impression that the snooze interval was the time the alarm would snooze before ringing again.  Some people need 5 more minutes of sleep and others need 20 and some need none and just jump out of bed when the alarm goes off.

I don't believe there's a way to change how long the alarm will ring.  It may be if you turn snooze off completely, the alarm will keep ringing until you turn it off.  I don't know, as I don't use snooze at all and I turn off my alarm as soon as it starts ringing.  You can try and see if that works.

Thanks!

Thanx for posting this question.  It seems my S25 ultra has a 1 minute alarm duration.  It seems such a simple thing to be able to set the duration of the alarm.  One other wish is to make the snooze much larger/easier to read.  Thanx.

Well, if one uses snooze and repeat indefinitely, I don't see the need to have a long ringing alarm.  The alarm snoozes automatically for the set period and will repeat the number of times you set it for until you turn it off.  The suggestion I made to the OP to turn off snooze entirely seems to have worked for him in allowing the alarm to ring longer. 

Personally, I don't see why even one minute isn't long enough, especially if you use an alarm sound that is annoying enough that you just want to get up and turn it off. But, that's me.  When I used to have to use a regular alarm clock, I placed the clock on the other side of the room so I had no choice but to get up and turn it off.

I'm hoping if enough of us tell Samsung were annoyed with it they will change it!

It's always been the way it is. Apparently enough people aren't annoyed with it. The only way to get Samsungs's attention on it, would be to put in feedback, through the feedback link in the support tab of this app.
