Alarm Clock Plus no tray icon

Just moved from Galaxy S3 to S6. When I set alarm no tray icon comes up as before. Have uninstalled and reinstalled. I like the reassurance of the little icon☺
 
Hi!
Just to be sure, are you talking about this app?

and this icon?

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes and yes :). That option is not ticked so not active. With the stock app and antoehr alarm app I downloaded, the icon comes up.

If so, go into settings/alarm clock settings, then scroll down towards the bottom to "hide alarm icon":

Same app but I've got the Galaxy Note 7. I just switched from the Note 3, and I too cannot get the icon to show. I've ticked and untucked that setting and....nothing. I even wrote to developers, no reply yet.

Hmm yeah, I gave up on that app soon after my new LG G5 arrived. It wasn't reliable anymore and the app hasn't been updated in 2 years so I'm wondering if it's a glitch with the new Android Version of MM. :(

Actually the app works ok for me. But I'm like the guy above, that icon gives me confidence that the alarm is set.
I tried another alarm clock (Alarm Clock Xtreme Free) but it took so long for that app to load my music that I've just stayed with this one. I use my music to wake up by. Very important ;)
 
I have used Alarm Clock Plus in every version of Android from 4.2.2 to 6.0.1 and it has worked correctly in all versions with Samsung phones S5 and Note 4.

Are you able to get the notification in the top bar?
It's really odd how it was kinda hit-and-miss on my device :(
 
I really don't pay attention to what is in the 'top bar', it rings when it is supposed to, and I can dismiss it.
after that, I never look for any notifications from it.

I always have it set to "never dismiss, never silent, never snooze"...
I make it forcibly keep ringing until I manually dismiss it.
It has always overridden the "silent mode" on the phone.

Ah, I can see where you're coming from :)
Not sure if you're up to trying different alarm apps, but I am happy with this one...simple and so far it works.
Looks like there is an option to choose your music as the alarm tone:

Well, after bragging a bit on the Alarm Clock Plus app that I use, guess what. It did not go off this morning. Lol :(
So, yes, I am up to trying another alarm clock app. I think the mistake I made was clearing the phones cache with a cache cleaner before I went to bed but I'm not sure. So, I will give this one a try. Thank you for the link !!

Cool! And in a small twist of events, I'm trying the app you mentioned earlier, Xtreme Alarm clock :D :D
 
Another thought:
Most Alarm Clock apps state they won't work reliably if they are moved to the SDcard.

Mikestony, I have abandoned all of the alarm clocks we have been speaking of because I found a good one that worked great this morning in waking me up. It's simple, got an awesome interface that is adjustable, and kinda beautiful too.
Have a look at it, see if it works for you. I'm using it from now on. Oh yeah, you can add your own music as an alarm too. Perfect ;):)

Sweet! Thanks bud! I'll check it out:)
So far so good on that Xtreme alarm clock you mentioned earlier---working great so far! But I'm always up for something different every now and then :D

Glad it's working for you. I'm also happy that we've both found an alarm clock app that works well for our respective phones.
Peace ✌
 
I don't like the Timely interface, my daughter uses it and to me, it is just more geegahs to mess with.

alarm clock plus is by far simpler, and quite reliable.

I really did like Alarm Clock Plus alot but as mentioned above, it just doesn't seem to go off every morning on my Note 7. If it did I would definitely stick with it.
As far as simplicity goes I'm not sure it gets much simpler than the Timely interface? The themes and colors, sounds, are all optional and, I think, very colorful and interesting, but you can easily just set your wake up time and let the defaults do the rest.
For me, the main thing is that it wakes me up every morning without fail at 3:30 am. :D
