Hi everyone,

I have a problem where the alarm on my Google Pixel phone is dismissed after about 10 minutes of ringing, causing me to miss my alarm.

Is there a way to make the alarms ring indefinitely, or at least for 1 hour before it’s automatically dismissed?

    Haha I didn’t even notice it. But you made me realize how incredibly inconsistent the feedback “button” is in the used-to-be-AOSP apps

    • Clock has it in the three dot menu on the main screen AND in the three dot menu in settings
    • Phone only has it in the main three dot menu, but it’s completely missing from settings (oh and the Settings->Accessibility screen ignores Material You colors for some reason)
    • Contacts has a decoy three dots menu that only contains Select and Select all buttons, the feedback option is hiding in the account switcher (and is once again missing from settings)
    • Messages once again hides the feedback button in the account switcher, but it doesn’t have a three dots menu so it makes sense. No feedback in settings
    • Calculator has it in the three dots menu and doesn’t have any further settings
    • and finally, Camera: tap the quick settings button, tap More settings, scroll to the bottom and boom, the feedback button.

    I know this is completely useless information, but I was curious and thought it would be a shame to just forget my findings 5 minutes later

      I mean, I’m not a fan of the iOS UX, but I feel like they’re doing pretty good with consistency, and would like it if the system app Devs took a slice of inspiration from that (though not necessarily everything else).
