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.

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)
Since my phone did the update to the new android version, I have one big problem: The silence modes.
Before the update, I had to pull down the status bar and when I klicked on a speaker, it switched between:
loud, vibrate and alarm
vibrate and alarm
only alarm
now, when I press the hardware button for the volume, it switches between
loud, virbate, notifications, alarm
something confusing
and nothing, not even alarm
I want the old settings back, is it possible to configurate the new android to get my old settings back?

In short - no, you cannot get the old silent mode back with 5.0.2. A short Google search would have brought up that problem, it's called 'silentgate'. Biggest problem is, that the 'none' (interruptions) mode also mutes the message LED.
Lollipop 5.1 corrects some of the biggest problems, for example the LED notification in 'none' mode. But it's still not the simple old silent mode from KitKat.
Please search Google for Lollipop, silent mode and interruptions for more information.

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
