Google and alarm times.

[ARW]

Tap on Google speech and ask for an alarm on Sunday morning at 8am.

Not much to ask.

Google cannot do it on my phone.

[Andy Burns]

andy: "set alarm for sunday 8am"

google: "actually, alarms can only be set within the next 24 hours"

andy: "set reminder for sunday 8am"

google: "what's the reminder for?"

andy: "work"

google "ok, do you want to save this?"

andy: "yes"

you only get a single, fairly quiet "beep" when it pops up on screen though ...

Does no-one use an alarm clock any more?

[Jethro_uk]

I thought with all this AI goodness, it would have been a snip.

Maybe it's not all that much cop ?

[Richard]

FWIW, the Bixby thing on a Samsung does what you want.

[Bob Eager]

I use an alarm clock, a radio alarm AND the phone!

[samchunk]

It is when you use the best of it.

Not when you use the best of it.

[Tim Watts]

No.

My phone alarm app has:

1) Unlimited alarms with day patterns;

2) Ascending volume over some minutes;

3) Infinite more or less snooze repeats (not 4 then alarm disabled!);

4) Custom alarm sounds for each alarm.

There isn't an alarm clock on the planet that can compete.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Except that my bedroom alarm clock switches on a decent sound system. And I can't forget to take it to the bedroom.

Of course if you need an alarm you can carry with you, not much use. As I've no doubt Adam needs. I have all the alarms I need on this desktop. Mainly as reminders to take an action.

[Bob Eager]

I set that up when I was a student in the early '70s.

I was often woken by people hammering on the door telling me to turn the music down.

I find getting up when the alarm first sounds easiest. Well, I did until I retired, now I just have the clock without the alarm :-)

[spuorgelgoog]

I missed a tutorial because I had my clock-radio tuned to the student radio station, which of course did not broadcast before mid-day[1], but the last person in the studio the night before was supposed to change over to a nig ht feed from another station, but didn't.

[1] Apart from Wey Hey It's Monday every Tuesday morning.

[ARW]

I have one of these

However it's not worth setting it for Sunday as I will not be at home.

[ARW]

Is that only on the S8?

I only have a A5 and ATM do not have any intentions of upgrading (SIM only contract)

[Tim Streater]

Sure. Mine runs on a C cell and I've had it 25 years.

No tone control (not that the one on my 25 year old Sony works, mind)

[ARW]

But it resets the time if there is a power cut and I can see the display without my glasses.

It certainly needs some tone control. Woke up this morning to Cher singing Dancing Queen. Talk about killing a song.

[Richard]

Seems it's only for S8 and up :(
