Any way to get the briefing alarm back?

Briefing alarm? Can you explain a bit more. ..
Do you mean Amber Alerts? If so, go into: message, settings, emergency alerts

Briefing alarm was a setting on the alarm clock that when connected (WiFi 3/4g etc) read out some specific data with the alarm or the news headlines, weird headlines, weather etc
Had it on my s3 4.2.2 and used to be on s4 until update

I hazely remember a setting for something like that... I'll keep my eyes open for it.

This and some of the other missing s3 features still unavailable?

I never heard of such an alarm, but I know a way to make the phone do that.

Install MacroDroid and have it sense the WiFi or the 4g data signal, whichever you specify.

Then have it launch an app that will give you that briefing.

* MacroDroid - Device Automation - Android Apps on Google Play

That's a long way around for something that should have been included from the off, I've supposedly upgraded my online not gone back a step

IMO, it does NOT need to be there at all. It would be an annoyance that would result in a LOT of flak from other house members.

Good riddance it did not appear on the stock alarm app.

The Weather Channel and AccuWeather both have plenty of options to news and weather, still, no thanks...

And what about those if us that want it and other stuff that's missing? All we want is the the option
