Even the simplest of mobiles on the market includes an alarm clock. Gunpowder is not discovered with this. However, when handling the functions related to the configuration of alarms, some points should be taken into account. And since the Samsung Galaxy S4 is one of the devices with the greatest depth of customization that we find in the current panorama, it is important to take into consideration some aspects that we will detail below.
The first thing that might interest us is to define the uncomfortable but, unfortunately, necessary alarms to wake up in the morning. To do this, we would only have to go, within the application menu, where we will have to find access to the clock. Here we will distinguish four tabs in the upper area. For the moment, the one that will interest us is the first one, "Alarm". When we enter this section for the first time, we verify that we are proposed to create a first alarm. We click on the corresponding button and start the process.
The first thing we can set is the fateful time to wake up ”” or to launch the alarm as a reminder ””. Under this panel, we see another that allows us to activate or deactivate the days of the week when we want the alarm to go off at the previously indicated time. We continue, and we verify that we can select the type of alarm that will be activated when the time comes. In this sense, we can choose between melody, vibration, a combination of both or an informative summary.
If we choose a melody, in the next point we could assign an audio track among all those that we have installed in the Samsung Galaxy S4, whether they are those that the phone incorporates as standard or among those that we have passed to the internal memory of the device or that are housed in the microSD card ”” if it has one ””. After this, we have within our reach the definition of the volume with which the alarm will sound.
Now comes an interesting point: the "Location Alarm." This type of notification allows us to indicate a place where we want the Samsung Galaxy S4let us know. Thus, the device's GPS will tell the system the location, literally setting off the alarm. In case the terminal does not interpret the position correctly, the function will operate by approximation. Once we have decided if we want to activate this function or not, we continue and see that it is possible to configure the number and frequency of repetition of the alarm "" for those users especially lazy "", as well as the "Intelligent alarm", which is nothing nothing less than a system that allows us to wake up in the least abrupt way possible, using a progressive melody. Finally, we could customize the name of the alarm.
We return to the main section with the four tabs that we mentioned, but now we will focus on the last one: «Countdown». There we could configure a countdown defining its duration according to hours, minutes and seconds until the completion is notified. It is an interesting way to raise an alarm, especially in the face of users with more kitchens or possible waiting of any kind.
Finally, another type of alarm to define on the Samsung Galaxy S4 is managed directly from the calendar, either Samsung's or Google's. To do this, it would be enough to open the corresponding application and, by clicking on the day on which we want to be notified of an event, schedule it at the corresponding time by adding the necessary data in the reminder. When the time comes, the Samsung Galaxy S4 will launch the alarm that will inform us of what we have indicated.
