Help Android 5.0.2 - Clock features can't be adjusted

[mcg1]

Hi,

I saw that there was an older thread about the snooze feature, but the question and answer didn't exactly apply, so I'm starting a new thread to hopefully find my answer.

I have Android 5.0.2 running on my Galaxy S6, and Android 5.0.1 running on my Galaxy S4.

Before the Android 5 update to my S4, you had the option with "Clock" to set the snooze interval and the number of times it would allow you to hit snooze. Now that my S4 has updated to Android 5.0.1, the option to change either of these doesn't seem to be available. I'm stuck with whatever the settings were previously, with no way to change them. The S6 came with Android 5, s0, it's exactly the same, except that the default settings I'm stuck with are very different than what I would set.

Can somebody tell me how to adjust these settings now, without having to download a 3rd party alarm app? It's ridiculous that they would remove this simple and useful feature that I'm sure almost all Android Clock users have used.

The "clock" app on those devices will be a Samsung app rather than an Android one. So it might be better to ask in one of the device forums, as the solution, if any, is likely to be Samsung-specific. By the same token, if you want to contact someone to ask for it to be changed it's Samsung you need to contact.

(I do use 3rd party apps for most things, but just checked and the default clock on my HTC running 5.0.2 has the same "set Snooze duration" setting that it had back on Android 4. So this does indeed depend on the manufacturer.)

Thanks, I guess I'll have to check in on some Samsung forums.

Well we have Samsung device sections here - you could ask in our S4 or S6 sections to see whether anyone has found anything.
