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 ?

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.
I have the settings on my Gear S3 set as "Sound mode: Sound", and "Vibrate with sound" is switched OFF. However, whenever my morning alarm beeps to wake me up, it definitely still vibrates making an annoying buzzy sound on my bedside table! Does anyone know if I'm stuck with this vibrate for alarms, or is there a way to definitely remove the vibrate feature from the alarms?
Secondly, it would be great if I could dismiss an alarm with a voice command rather than having to do so by sliding my finger across the screem. Anyone know if there's a way (or and add-on app) that will allow me to dismiss an alarm with my voice? (S-Voice does not ofer such an option at present as far as I've found - or maybe I just need to use the correct verbal command?)
Hi,
I've just installed a smart smoke alarm... the X-Sense XS01-WT. It uses the Smart Life android app (Smart Life on Google Play), which I've been using for a long time to control smart power plugs, lights etc. But this is the first time it's been important that the app sends me a powerful alarm in case the smoke alarm gets triggered. Whilst I've almost got it right - a custom siren sound that plays even when the phone is in Do Not Disturb mode - I have one remaining problem.
Notifications seem to be limited to a 5 second duration; far too short for me to be certain that it would wake me up when asleep at night. This is shown by going to Settings -> Notification & status bar -> Manage notifications -> App notifications/Smart Life -> Default notification -> Ringtone. There it says " The selected audio file will play for up to five seconds". This same message is shown for every app I've checked.
So I'm hoping someone can help me overcome this five second limit. Knowing that alarm clock apps play their sounds for far longer and have a separate volume setting (so they can always be set to maximum), can I somehow convince the phone that, instead of playing the siren mp3 file as a notification, it should treat it as an alarm which will be played for its total duration at maximum volume? Or, failing that, is there a hidden setting that defines the maximum notification duration?
Many thanks in anticipation of someone knowing the answer!

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.
