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)

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...
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.
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.
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
Does anyone know how to change the default alarm clock sound and vibration for Google clock alarms that are set on the phone? I haven't found a way to change these and it annoys me when the clock is making a sound immediately when the alarm triggers. On my phone I have set it to be a raising volume alarm so I can wake up (or snooze) without everyone in the room waking up. My previous watch didn't have a speaker so it was just a vibration on the wrist that woke me up.
