I am getting a nexus 5 soon, and after hearing all the "issues" with said device, its starting to worry me. one such issue is some users reporting low volume. I have an iPhone 5, and even its alarm does not always wake me (im a hard sleeper). I do have a real alarm clock as well, but sometimes I like to use my phone alarm, and while im not expecting the alarm to be insanely loud, I am wondering if the volume level will be equal too or better than an iPhone 5. Anything less might not work for me. :-\
Also, Ive seen a cool alarm clock, with wireless charging and Bluetooth. I was wondering if anyone could confirm if the alarm on the nexus 5 could stream via Bluetooth. reason being is said Bluetooth alarm clock speakers seem pretty nice and possibly could be nice and loud, so I got the idea of using it not only for music via Bluetooth, but alarm as well.
said alarm clock link below, for anyone interested. oh, and lastly, if anyone has had experience with this alarm, please PM me, I have a few more questions about it, that the manufacturer didn't want to bother answering for me lol.

Hrmm, not sure if this is the right place..but
Can you add more alarms to the windows alarms? I looked in the registry and saw there were keys for alarms 0-2 so i tried adding a 3'd key copying all the values to see if that would add another one...
I'd prefer not to have to pay for something the phone does already and seems to be easily improved upon, the only thing i dislike is you turn the volume down the alarm volume is affected...crazy micrsoft programmers!
try SPB TIME.
i really their alarm, even if u set your phone to virbate, the alarm still rings! dont quote me on it, it works on me sometime since i havnt fully test it. haha
Hrmm, well i had a go of SPB Time, but i have to say i find its a bit much, and its just not simple enough for what i wanted...
on a simular note, Does anyone know how the alarm feature works? does it just call up a file to run when the alarm runs?
I want to understand why at a certain time the alarm sounds, I realise this proberbly sounds silly, but i'm not quite sure how it works, as far as i can tell there isn't an alarm program constantly running.
basically I was wondering, if the alarm noticiation thing is just an exe running to sound the alarm, could i just put a dummy alarm in to change the volume to max just before the alarm sounds so i don't have to worry about putting it on silent?
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.
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)
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.
Can someone please tell me the strength of the vibrating alarms? Is the intensity adjustable? What about length of alarm?
Hi I am used to a cheap Fitbit Charge HR to wake me up and also as important medical reminder. However I recently tried a Garmin Vivomove which even in max mode was barely noticeable.
Currently trying an Huawei Fit and it’s not much better but at least it is also audible
The HW2 is at such a good price I am considering one so could do with an owners opinion please
Thanks
Anybody?
I’ve actually got the watch but if I open it I can’t return it. So really could do with some kind owners comments
?
Never tried the alarm vibration. Buy general notifications are noticeable on your wrist. You can set the pattern of the vibration as well. Normal, long and double are the choices.
The Google alarm works not bad (vibe + sound). Otherwise there are also 3rd app for alarm. I use Nefa Wear Alarm for many years and it can vibrate 30s or 1min if you want.
Thanks guys
Do you know if the intensity is adjustable along with the duration?
Not adjustable. But it is the developper of each app wich choose how he want manage the watch vibration. The vibration motor is not very strong on almost all Wear watch. The best vibration I see is on the pebble watch, very strong (and adjustable wich different pattern).
