Samsung Clock app.

How do i uninstall Samsung Clock app. and then reinstall it? I am trying to resolve an alarm issue where notification bar shows alarm but there is no alarm set.
 
I just checked my AT&T S5 Active and if you have it show System Apps by clicking the 3 dot menu in Application Manager, there are 3 clock apps and you can clear app cache and data on two of them.
Only other thing I can think of would be to try a cache wipe in recovery.
 
I played around with mine and disabled one and Forced Stopped the other two. Rebooted the phone after a few minutes and the ones I forced Stopped, restarted. It's not my daily driver so I don't mind experimenting.
You can try and see what affect it has and enable it if needed and do a restart.

That is strange. If you click on the 3 vertical dot menu in the bar with the Samsung clock app message, what options do you have?
I'm gonna play around with my S5 Active some more and see what I can find.

Guess that was just a email alert.
Kinda got me stumped. Last thing I got would be to set a new alarm then delete it.
Hopefully someone more familiar with Samsung devices will chime in with a solution.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Tried setting and deleting when it first happened. Didn't work. Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it.
 
There is always the dreaded factory reset.
If it's that annoying and you don't mind the hassle of setting it back up.
It sucks that it is a system app and you can't uninstall/reinstall without root.
Package Disabler Pro at the Play Store will let you disable it and any other pre installed app that you can't normally disable. Might be worth checking in to but it's a paid app.

Thanks. I might look into that. I guess for now I'm just stuck with the icon until someone can come up with a solution.
 
Hi, it looks like you might have to root it to get rid of it, easy to do and gives you more control over your phone. Phil
