Weird alarm volume issue... - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I've been having weird issues with my alarm all week. Usually I have it set to go off and play an mp3 with a very slow gradual build up in volume. I've been using that setup with alarm clock plus for about a year without any issues. Then on Monday it went off at full volume. Scared the piss outta me and annoyed the girlfriend (my alarm goes off at 5am...). Nothing had changed in my setup. I had been on the same rootbox build for weeks and alarm clock plus hasn't updated since last november.
In troubleshooting it, I recreated the alarm, tried a different mp3, cleared app data and reset up, uninstalled/re-installed the app, cleared caches/fixed permissions and even did a clean wipe to a new rom (slim) and the issue persisted.
The weird thing is that I downloaded Alarm clock extreme to try it as well and it is doing the same thing. I have tried adjusting alarm volume in the control panel as well as within the app and no luck.
Anyone have any ideas before my girlfriend socks me when it goes off tomorrow?
Thanks in advance!

Alarm sounds not working!

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?

Have you installed some apps like talking tom cat?

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.

About google now to set alarm tone

Hi guys,
Need some help or advise here, I usually use google now to set my alarm, however the alarm tone for this morning is not my desire tone that I usually have. Unless I manually set it,
I was on cm 14/4 and I tried to nandroid back to 16/3 nightly and is perfectly well.
I did a factory reset and is still the same(alarm set from google now will not sound my desire default tone which i set earlier)
Any one occur this issue too?
Have you reset the default since the problem has cropped up? Usually stuff like alarm and ringtones get reset to factory settings with new roms because it can't find the specific audio file.

[Q] Alarm problem

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)

Nexus 5 Alarm Clock Bug

Hi. Recently bought a brand-new Nexus 5 phone. Set it up and installed some apps but not a lot. Now, found a bug.
Same with my Moto G (4G), i can't seem to enable the Alarm Clock sound when my phone is on Silent (particularly at night before i sleep). Tried fiddling with the alarm clock settings and the Sound under the main settings (like turning up the volume) but nothing is happening; the volume is still down to zero.
Anyone else experienced this situation? Is there a solution?
Please advice.
What apps have you installed? Maybe its something you're installing.

It's got to be an app or a setting that's messing things up. I put my phone on silent at night and my alarm still goes off. When you hit the volume button do you get 3 sliders? Ringtone, Notifications, Alarm.
For your information i am using a brand-new Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.4 and the alarm in question is the stock N5 alarm clock. Yes, this is the first time i have encountered such problem although i have the same issue with my Moto G (4G) with 4.4.4 handset. Had a Galaxy S4 two weeks ago, installed the same apps and the S4's stock alarm clock has NO problems whatsoever.
Going to Sounds under Settings did not helped either. I can't turn up the volume of the alarm without turning up the volume of the Ringtones & Notifications and the Media which basically defeats the purpose of having the phone on Silent mode during night time.
In my experience of owning Android handsets in my opinion this is a bug that needs to be fixed/patched my Google.
Any more advice please?
@Gino76ph try this as a work around for now. Seems stock just lacks this feature.

If you are interested in Xposed Framework there is a module that will separate the Alarm volume Slider and Media volume slider into two separate sliders.
