Proper Alarm Clock

Is it just me or do the alarm clock on this thing really blow? It repeats once every 5 min with some odd sound and that's it, I won't wake up. I need something that starts low and increases for example. Am I checking wrong when I goto Clock and Alarm

No you're not I think, much trouble about that clock including the fact that it won't sound loud if the phone is in vibrate mode - these kinds of alarms (not event alarms) should sound anyway...

For the increasing sound, you can use a custom soundfile, that's long & loud enough to wake you up...
As for the vibrating mode I can only think of a workaround... recently 1 saw a program that switches sound profiles automatically (don't ask I don't remember the name). You could set it to switch to "Loud" before the alarm sounds...

Windows Mobile: Alarm that Vibrates ONLY

I'd like to configure alarms so that regardless of the system sound settings they still vibrate.
The built in "Clocks and Alarms" app only supports vibration when the system is not on Silent.
I've experimented with Pocket Alarm but couldn't get the desired outcome.
GAlarm was problematic because of some issues I had with the auto-rotation of my device and the graphics in Galarm getting subsequently messed up.
Is there a clock alarm out there capable of meeting this simple request?

for my suggestion:
1/ the room has some errors ==> upgrade another one
2/ check again all settings in Sound & Notification

The ROM has no errors. I am not the first person to complain about this behaviour of WM. It's the standard behaviour.
Sounds and Notifications has no setting that can control this. I don't want to turn off sound on all reminders.
I need to be able to set specific alarms to only vibrate regardless of the system sound settings.

here's a No Sound wav file... assign it as your alarm tone.

I already have a silent file on my machine which I use for startup and shutdown.
This is not the solution.
I don't want to turn off sound on all reminders.
I need to be able to set specific alarms to only vibrate regardless of the system sound settings. When I use a silent file as the alarm tone in (for example) Pocket Alarm, the vibration also gets turned off.

TURN OFF ALL SOUNDS [v1.0]​
Turn Off All Sounds is an app that will mute your device with ONE touch. Your device will remain that way, until you unmute it. Volume ringer controls will be overridden and hence the device will stay muted even if you try to increase/decrease volume.
Features:
Minimalist, clean user interface
Mute device with one touch
Unmute from notification or from within app
Volume ringer overridden when device is muted
Almost nil battery consumption
UPDATE: Mute individual volume streams of your choice
Changelog:
v1.1:
Updated muting features! Option to mute specific streams included​
Be sure to check out the screenshots!!!
Looking forward to any comments,criticisms or suggestions. So far the app has been tested on Nexus 4, Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300), and HTC One. Once again, feedback is greatly appreciated.
App will go live on PlayStore soon, and this post will be updated with PlayStore link. Please feel free to share the app!
WARNING: Alarms will ring at set times because there is a bug in Google's AudioManager api, because of which the alarm stream CANNOT be muted.

Works on Galaxy S4 i9500 :good:

Would be really usefull if you could chose what to mute, I want to mute all but notification sounds at times, and also really usefull if you could set it to automute between some hours of a day, or add a tasker plugin....just my ideeas...

Love your idea: chose what to mute. No need automate, many apps can do it. Just keep simple for light-weight.

Thanks for the idea! Will definitely implement it
And the automation thing was a planned feature already

Works on Samsung Epic 4g Touch (S2).

Media volume turns up by itself

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

Ticwatch E3 > WearOS Timer: How to set to vibration only

Hi, I seem to be loosing my mind. I am using the Timer app on my Ticwatch E3 and would need the timer to just vibrate, no sound but it does still ring on timer. Here is what I did:
- tuned off the speaker (in the pulldown from the top menu)
- set all sounds to zero: media, alarm, ring volume are all set to zero
- set watch ringtone to: no sound
Any idea how I might be able to achieve such a simple task? I basically run my watch silent all the time, I do not use any sound so if there is a general way to just kill the sound and keep vibrate only, that would work too.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...it is driving me mad!!!

does you mean the alarm clock, wich is implemented on the watch? I use my ticwatch E3 always with sound for my workout and disable the sound after finish....the alarm clock only vibrate only.....

no, i am referring to the Timer app. for whatever reason disabling the sound works for Alarm but not the Timer app.
I wouldn’t even mind running some code to doable the speaker all together

same issue here on my Ticwatch Pro 3
I used a Fossil before without a speaker, so I didn't notice this annoying behavior of the Timer
I would like to use my watch "vibrate only", how could an app overwrite the system setting --> no sound ?
