Help "Briefing" alarm can't read a clock?

Newbie
I set an alarm for noon everyday to remind me to take a pill, and tried the "briefing" type alarm. I laughed every day when it said "The time is twelve to no." I figured a programmer messed up coding the noon verbalization.

Well, I just set an alarm for 11:02 and it says, "The time is eleven to two".

Tried again for 11:03 and got, "The time is eleven to three"

What the hell samsung? :confused:

I'm sorry but that's hilarious :p. I thought you were able to name the briefing alarm to anything you want it to say when it goes off, not just what the time is? If I'm right, why not set it to say "Take a pill" instead :D.
 
well, I set the title of the alarm to "take a pill", and sure enough, it says it. ;)

It then will tell the weather, today's schedule , and news if you set it under briefing content.

And funny enough, it said the time correctly at 5:24 as five twenty four.

I'm wondering now if it it only in the x:00 to x:09 part of each hour it messes up?

I will keep experimenting and see if I can't produce something repeatable by other owners.

maybe its a 12/24hr clock setting thing i have mine on 24hr..
 
I just tried 6:04 and sure enough, it said "It is six to four". Apparently it's only messing up between the top of the hour and 10 after.

Someone please give it a try and see if it's all S3's, as I suspect it is.

I am running 4.1.1, not rooted.
 
this morning mine said "the time is 7 2" etc etc so it didnt say the 7 to 2 but it also did not say 07:02 try radion alarm thats good
