Looking for a way to set a reminder that will wake up and appear on the display while sounding a loud alarm! I have this on my Note 5 with the Nudnik app, but have failed to discover a way of doing this on my S3. When I set the native reminder, I get a single single notification sound that is very subtle...and very easy to overlook! I have also failed to find a third party Tizen app that will do the job. The only thing I can think of to accomplish this, presently, is to set an alarm for around the same time as the reminder, but that seems like overkill. Anybody?
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
Hello, I have had a Find X2Pro for 2 months. Before that I had a Mate 20 pro. I noticed that the vibration when notified is far too short, just a hint of vibration. With WhatsApp it is possible to set different vibrations but no matter what you choose it is always the same. The vibration of the alarm clock ect works as it should. It is only in the case of notification that it is too short. Does anyone know the problem, is it normal?
Is there a way to get a super strong vibrate for an alarm? I would like to use the alarm to wake me in the morning, for example if I'm at hotel. I've played with the Settings-Vibration_and_Sound settings and the vibration pattern options you can choose when you set an alarm. Is there anything else to look at – like maybe setting a custom pattern?
I wish there were a "wake from dead" mode. I am deaf so sound has no meaning. Wake up phone calls or pounding on the door from the hotel obviously don't work.
A stronger alarm uses more battery, but that's okay, since this is an important function. I will plan accordingly.

I haven't found a way to increase the strength of the vibration outside of the options available from the app and watch settings.
As of what's available today, it seem Apple is the only who's really paying close, CLOSE attention to the quality, strength and refinement of the haptic engine on their watches.
It's the number one reason why I was using an iPhone for weeks just so I could use an Apple Watch. Its "Taptic" engine is so refined. Perfect for alarms and other notifications. There's also a big gap (IMO) in how the normal and hard vibration option is on those watches.
Samsung needs to focus more heavily in this specific area for their next watches.
I'm glad someone else agrees. It seems these guys love to focus on ring tones, and sounds, and volume. I think vibration is much more useful: It's discrete, it doesn't wake everyone else in the house.
I've used the alarm about a dozen times. It's woken me every time, but I wish it was a little stronger.
I can see an option where they separate alert vibration from alarm vibration and offer a super vibration mode. They could warn "wake-the-dead mode requires more battery", but at least you'll be more confident that it actually wakes you up.
Compared to prior Samsung devices, I find the vibration motor very very weak. In fact I literally just missed a call when the phone was on my desk next to me because sound was off and only vibration was on!
Anyone know a way to increase it beyond max? Any apps out there?
vibration motor is hardware-based so maybe be it's not possible. but you can try by searching the vibration option in settings, many tech reviewers said so
Samsung changed to x-axis (from previous models' z-axis vibration motor).
Better haptic feedback in hand/ when typing maybe (as motor now located in lower half of handset) but vibration intensity seems less, especially when handset resting in table, etc.
