Hi all
I have the Cingular/HTC 8125. Has anyone had a problem where their alarm wont turn off? My alarm isnt even set but it still goes off at 9:30 everyday. The tone is the really annoying ringer tone. Once it goes off, I cant get it to stop. Does anyone have any ideas?
If not, does anyone know how to go back to factory settings?
thanks,
Nathan

I dont have any programs that have any alarms. And the phones main alarms are all turned off. Any other ideas?
thanks
Nathan

Did you manage to turn off your alarm? The tone may be annoying, yeah...
Btw I found an alarm solution (WAWA alarm software - www.novii.tv/pocketpc/wawa) that lets my smartphone turn on my home theater to wake me up in the morning - much nicer then a ringer tone!

Been using the alarm function with no problems.......until recently! I woke up half an hour late for work the other day, went to check my phone wondering why the alarm hadn't gone off but the screen was flashing "SNOOZE " & "DISMISS" So the alarm was working but the sounds weren't and i had turned off the vibrate option because I hate that sound it makes.
I go into the alarm sound menu and none of them play, I go into the ringtones and they work fine. Same with message tones and music.
The sound options were all set correctly, alarm volume set to max. Silent mode wasn't the problem.
After a reboot the alarm sounds played again.
Anyone else had this problem?

Just had the exact same thing happen to me this morning. This is the second time it has happened. I had also received an SMS before my alarm was supposed to go off, and it vibrated instead of playing my notification sound (even though I did not have it on vibrate only mode). Very, very annoying. Bring on root+CM7!!!
If you have any task killers, remove them.
I know many of the task killers will do this to your clock.
Thanks pr0x2, but I am running only the stock Sense task killer.
The problem may with the ringer. otherwise, go to settings, find sound and select volume. you may have set the specific volume to min. increase the alarm volume in that try.
Anyone else have issues with the alarm volume randomly dropping down to silent? I feel like only a bank would need a silent alarm, why is this even a feature on phones? If you don't want the alarm, turn it off!
I usually try to check it at night, but I kinda feel like the setting should stick and I shouldn't have to worry about it. I am using Timely, and even when I test the alarm volume in the app - the system settings override. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Nope. I use the alarm daily and it has been the same volume every morning.
sounds like you have something overriding the alarm volume. ive never had a problem with the volume on my alarms, and it is its own slider (separate from ringer and notifications and media)
Hey all,
So I've been running Lollipop for a few days now and till now I haven't find the silent mode. So even without vibration for calls.
Right now I have two choices:
1. Completly silent. But this will also silence my alarm which I don't want.
2. Let it vibrate. Which I don't want for phone calls.
I want my phone to be silenced but the alarm excluded.
Normally users could hit the volume down key one more time and put their smartphone into silent mode where it won’t even vibrate.
I've been searching for days for this simple option. Can someone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

Priority Mode.
Under "Interruptions" turn off everything and the only thing that will make a sound when the phone is in Priority Mode is the Alarm.

And the low battery sound and the charging sound and a few other system sounds. Priority mode is a poor substitution for a real silent mode.
I can't believe Google took silent mode out.
What the F were they thinking?

Set volume to 1 (Just before vibrate mode). Sit and reboot phone. You will now be in silent mode.
It's messed up for sure. I had it set to "priority" with everything unchecked so just my alarm would come through but some dumb Facebook notification woke me up in the middle of the night. Wasn't amused.
The only way to silent the phone except for alarms is to put it in airplane mode? Ridiculous.
Looking forward to some custom ROMs to fix up this mess.
This is my main reason for not updating to 5.0 so far... All I want is to be able to set the phone to totally silent, but still have the LED light for notifications without having to download something like LightFlow to do it. I like having nothing make noise/vibrate, but still have the LED blink when something comes in.

I developed an app: Call Filter Alarm. Its sleep mode can silence all notifications (also whatsapp and viber), even on Lollipop.
Hope it helps

Hi guys!
I too have the same problem and no app helped me... so I searched far and wide and I finally found a simple trick With my knowledge I have created an app:
Silent Mode Lollipop (search for it.merkcoolapp.silentmodelollipopfree in the Google Play Store to find it)
It only does one thing: switch from normal mode to silent mode, on any version of Android (of course, including Lollipop).
Remember, it's the 1.0 version
I hope it helps!

I made a small workaround that is very handy!
I used Nova Activities widget to create a shortcut to the Sounds and Notificaitions --> Interruptions activity.
Whenever I want to sleep, I simply tap the widget on my homescreen, turn off Calls as priority notifications and go to sleep with peace of mind
As soon as I wake up, I simply enable Calls as priority interruptions again by using the Nova widget
I know this is a workaround but this is the best way I found so far to solve this irritating problem on Android Lollipop.
I would also love to hear about any workarounds that anyone else on XDA has hacked together! Probably whip out a dialog UI using Tasker?
Hit thanks if my post helped you
There is an app called True Silent Mode which supposedly adds back silence like we are all used to. Alternatively you can try a different ROM. CM12 has the usual "silent but with alarms on" mode.
Guys, help me out here.
If you set an alarm, and set it to some volume.
Now press volume rocker and turn your alarms to muted.
Now wait for your alarm to go off. For me, it completely ignores the global setting and sets the alarm volume back to whatever it was set up with in the alarm app.
My phone alarm went off even when muted in a cinema cause of this.... Is this a bug with my android install? Or can anyone else verify this?
Running nougat UK version.
Slide down your notification tab and look for "Do not disturb". You have the option for total silence or alarms only or priority only. Hope that helps
Hello, and first of all, sorry if my english is bad, I am german
Ok, I own a Galaxy S7 since 2 weeks without branding and with the latest (officially) available Android via Smart Switch.
Everything works fine and all, but one thing is bothering me. The Volume for "media", I mean the volume if you for ex. listen to music, turns itself on to fully loudnes. I don't know why and how to stop this.
If an app is doing this, how can I find out, which one is responsible?
Thanks.
PS: I haven't rooted yet.
Hi, You dont tell, is that problem on speaker or headset?
I have same problem with original headset. After first drop of swat, to headset controls, on training. After dry up, everything back to normal.
WEll, it is combined with the speaker. So I turn the volume down, and after like 3-4 hours, it is on highest volume, without me touching the volume button.
Ok, I may have found out that my alarm clock is one of the responsible apps. As now with Android 7 on the S7, there is no seperate Volume for "alarm clock", but my galaxy S5 with Android 4.4.2 had it. So now it is the same as the Media volume. If I want my alarm clock to be loud and wake me up, it automatically has to increase the volume from mute to max :-/
Is there an app, that automatically mutes the media volume from time to time?

Do not disturb built into settings, allows alarms and anything else you add through and keeps everything else silent during those hours
Ok, I never really understood this "do not disturb" mode... I will give it a try. Thanks.

Basically the days & hours you set = when the phone will stay quiet, apart from exceptions you can add to the exceptions list (Like alarms / people added to your favourite list etc)
I have mine set to shutup at 11pm apart from alarms, and to go back to normal sound mode at 8:30am every day
But you can set it up to whatever schedule you like, and/or manually enable it from the notifications pull down at the top (no entry sign)
Great for keeping those people who think it's funny to WhatsApp you at 3am, quiet
