Touch screen broken, how do I turn off the alarm?

[glen]

LG G2 - dropped it.
I can't turn the alarm off.
I can't take the battery out.
wtf? Is there a secret combo of the rocker buttons and power switch that turn it off?

good morning good morning good good good morning

I'm sorry, I can't stop laughing I don't know what you can do...

lol... not to threadjack but I left my tablet at work last week and I set my Timely alarm at 6:15am. No internet connectivity so I can't turn it off remotely. Boy that was fun getting to work at 6:15 when I usually don't roll in til 8 or so.

Hmm... I'm assuming the voice activation alarm is a Samsung thing, but I can say "stop" or "snooze" to control the alarm.

Why not soft reset it? Hold power button down until it reboots itself

Reboot doesnt turn off alarm... I think

Power off the device and ensure it is not connected to any USB cables.

At the same time, press and hold the following keys for 8 seconds:
Power key
Volume down key

When the LG Logo is displayed, release and then immediately re-hold the Power key.

When the 'FACTORY HARD RESET' screen displays, release the keys.

Press the Power key to reset or one of the Volume keys to cancel.

Press the Power key to confirm the reset. The reset will start immediately.


If that doesnt work for you just get a replacement (if you can)

Wow. I could not even get it to turn off. It played that good morning song for well over an hour. Finally, I just held power for a long time, and it cut off.

LOL. Cerberus might have worked.

You waited over an hour before turning the phone off?

It would not turn off.
Power button just went to the menu which you have to use the touch screen to choose something like off, airplane mode, and re-start. I could not choose anything. Finally, I realized I could just hold the button down and wait and wait and it went off.

For hilarity's sake, you should have taken the phone, still ringing, to the shop. Run in like a madman with your ringing phone, begging for help after DAYS of interrupted alarm

... Finally, I realized I could just hold the button down and wait and wait and it went off.

That works for just about every phone ever just in case you need to do that again.

I know this is an old thread but since I still got here through a simple Google search I took the time to register to impart this wisdom in case future Googlers come here. Using a guitar pick or something equally thin you can carefully pop off the back and remove the battery. I had the same thing happen. There are videos on youtube that show how. It takes a min but it's worth it.

Either that or see what apps you can get to start alternative ways that can run down the battery! lol I was able to get apps to start by plugging and unplugging the headphone jack.

Edit: Holding my power button just makes my phone restart over and over and over.....
