Very odd. When I use a timer in the clock app I do not get the alert sound when the timer is up all the time.
If I leave the screen on and the timer app opened I get the alert sound.
However if the phone is locked, or the timer app is minimized I do not get the alert sound. As soon as I open it back up the alarm sound fires.
This happens with the stock clock app and the google clock. They are not being put to sleep, the timer runs fine. Just no sound when minimized.

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.
Hi,
My requirement is for a timer app that lets me do the following:
1. Set and label multiple timers.
2. Each timer must have the ability to sound an alarm and pause at multiple points during the countdown.
E.g. I want to set a timer for 2 hours. I would like to be able to set various points during that countdown, e.g 30m in, 60m in, 75m in at which point the alarm would sound and the 'parent' timer would pause. E.g.
I set a countdown for 2 hours. I specify that 30m in to this countdown I want it to pause.
I start the timer, at 2 hours to go. After 30m an alarm sounds and the countdown stops at 1.5 hours to go. I set another alarm to go off after 25m. I unpause the timer and at the 65m point it again pauses and sounds an alarm.
Does anyone know of such an app?
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.
Hi, I seem to be loosing my mind. I am using the Timer app on my Ticwatch E3 and would need the timer to just vibrate, no sound but it does still ring on timer. Here is what I did:
- tuned off the speaker (in the pulldown from the top menu)
- set all sounds to zero: media, alarm, ring volume are all set to zero
- set watch ringtone to: no sound
Any idea how I might be able to achieve such a simple task? I basically run my watch silent all the time, I do not use any sound so if there is a general way to just kill the sound and keep vibrate only, that would work too.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...it is driving me mad!!!
does you mean the alarm clock, wich is implemented on the watch? I use my ticwatch E3 always with sound for my workout and disable the sound after finish....the alarm clock only vibrate only.....

no, i am referring to the Timer app. for whatever reason disabling the sound works for Alarm but not the Timer app.
I wouldn’t even mind running some code to doable the speaker all together
same issue here on my Ticwatch Pro 3
I used a Fossil before without a speaker, so I didn't notice this annoying behavior of the Timer
I would like to use my watch "vibrate only", how could an app overwrite the system setting --> no sound ?
