I'm so frustrated with my alarm, it doesn't wake me up no matter how high I set the volume. Could someone give me other alarm sounds which can really wake me up? Perhaps a really noisy and sharp sound, i dont know how to describe it, i just know that nokia does it good in their alarm feature.
LOL! Try put this ringtone for you Alarm Sound!

Ring Tones
I like it . Its a good one .
If you need more ring tones : http://www.uspocketpcphone.com/id1.html
Looks like I found my first real problem. For some reason my alarm app barly outputs any sound at all. Media volume, ringer volume are fine but alarm volume just does not work well.
Before anyone says it, I already manually turned up the alarm volume in settings.
Taking it back today and switching.it for another atrix and hopefully that solves the problem. I need my alarm

No it will no change anything by getting a replacement-phone. Though I do have to say, there are a couple of these alarms that are ridiculously loud. You would have to install a different alarm to your phone. This is how I remedied it, off the market "alarm" or "clock" and there should be one or two that meet your interest. From there you can choose which and then select the loud as hell alarm.

I've done my search here, android os forums, and elsewhere but I don't see anyone having the same issues.
How can I make my stock alarm clock continue to ring until I manually turn it off? I noticed that my GNote alarm will turn off itself without my intervention and will not go off again like my iPhone use to. This makes the alarm clock useless if my phone is in another room and it stops ringing after it goes off once.
Also, is there a way to turn off the alarm using the side buttons without me having to pull out my phone out of my pocket to turn it off by sliding the screen?
See if Missed Message Flasher helps. Not sure if any of its options helps with the stock alarm clock but repeating any standard notification might.
the stock alarm on mine has the same issue. it plays for 1 minute then stops without any input...
I found two solutions....i set the max snooze setting
I also use alarm clock extreme
Tthe volume keys should silence it...do they not

Has anyone tried the "smart alarm" setting? If you click it you can set it up to 30 minutes - maybe that means it will keep going off for 30 minutes???
Hi all,
Bit of a question here.
I've just upgraded from a Galaxy S3 to the Xperia Z2 and overall I'm loving it so far. It's just such a huge difference. Only thing I'm missing is a screen protector (As soon as I removed the peel from the one included in the box it just seemed to suck dust from the air and became impossible to put on without dust and bubbles being under it ) but overall it's a great experience.
The only issue I have is that, compared to my S3, and compared to the volume that games/videos can reach, my ringtone and alarms seem to be very low volume, even when the volume is turned up to maximum.
Is this something others have noticed?
I've tried several alarm apps, the stock one, Alarm Clock Plus and Alarm Clock Xtreme Free but all of them put the alarm at the same level which just isn't as high as I could get from the S3.
Does anyone know of a way to boost this? The alarm in particular is what concerns me the most, since I use my phone as an alarm clock to get up in the mornings for work. At the moment I'm a tad paranoid so keeping my sim-less S3 as a backup alarm to go off 5 minutes later

Not possible unless Sony updates their firmware.
Needs root to change the gain levels.
me to I've just upgraded from a LG G2 to Z2 and i have same issue the notification/ringtone very low
Hm. Well, for me, my alarm wakes me up just fine. I'm not exactly a light-sleeper, but definitely not a heavy one either.
As for text messages... I do occasionally not hear it.
Darn. Hopefully it's something Sony address in future updates.
I'm looking to avoid rooting at the moment given that I bought the phone Sim-free so am rather paranoid about bricking it.
Same thing for me.. Tried to play some music first then turn on the alarm and it's such a difference! I too use my phone as an alarm and I really can't be late for work anymore Tried several alarm apps as well but no luck.. Hope they fix it soon
i got sulotion for notification sound
go settings - sound - sound effact - than check on dynamic normaliser
than you will see the sound notification be louder

Will check this option and share my experience
Thanks anyhow
Any confirmation?
I thought it was the volume security policy used by Sony like on their MP3 Walkman.
Anyone tried with Viper4android?

Thanks, tried it and its noticeably louder when receiving a sms
I haven't tried it yet, but this thread mentions another setting that might boost the volume of the internal speaker.
Will be testing it later today when I get home from work. Don't want to be testing my alarm in the middle of the office XD

Enable xloud as well
low ringtone for alarm
Hi,
In the sound selection menu for the alarm I have the possibility to replay a new possible tone. This is much louder than the alarm and it is much louder when the tone that is emitted when I pull the volume slider for the alarm to the right and keep pressed, which is too quiet for me. Currently, I find no way to set a reasonable volume. Currently, the vibrator is almost louder.
What have I done so far? I tried diffent sounds and mp3s. I have turned off all sound effects. No increase the ringer volume, no EQ, no Sourroundsound, no Clearaudio +, no normalization. The adjustable volume, is whe I use the side-mounted switches -> to maximum. Also the menu Sound settings volume - every sound slider is at max. However, the max volume is also different than the volume that is output when I replay this file in the menu where I can choose the alarm tone. The replayed sound is much louder and enough for me.
Please not a new ROM, I do not want to tinker.
Thanks for your help
Greetings
P.
This sound issue is already fixed on the new FW (.314).

No, the newest software .314 doesn't fix the problem. Without xloud and normalization(this helps the most I think) turned on I could barely hear notifications. Now they are the same level as when I play them from notification picker. Which all is kind of weird to be honest. Ringtone is normal when somebody rings me. But level of notifications when SMS comes or whatever is 2 times quieter than when playing sound from notification picker in settings menu.

There's a mod in Themes and app section where you can get both speakers working for notification as stock Sony ROM only use bottom speaker for notifications. This might help a bit
One thing I've noticed with xLoud is that if I put the phone into vibrate/silent mode, then the xLoud setting no longer takes effect when I put the volume back up again. Even if I disable and re-enable the xLoud checkbox, I'm back to the volume I got without xLoud. The only way to get it working is to power off the phone and then power it back on again.

Yea I used the mod before but that doesn't change anything :/ Sony messed up firmware.
xperia Z3
I solved the problem. I downloaded the app Ringtone Maker, opened it in the desired mp3. Click on the Fade and volume and set to 4-5. Save as like new notification and add to the desired application. Done.
Hello, I have LineageOS 15.1 installed and since updating I'm having issues with the alarm app. The alarm goes on at the desired time but there is only vibration, no sound coming off.
From the settings I can choose the alarm tone fine and I hear it properly, but when the alarm time comes it doesn't sound, just vibrate.
Has anybody ever had this problem?
Some time ago in LOS 13ish I had a kind of similar issue. The screen was being kept off while the alarm went on. After updating several times the issue resolved itself, but I'm clueless this time.

Does the notifications have sound?
Heyyo, please check that specific alarm setting. Alarms can have unique volume sounds and such or it could be set to silent in the clock app.
An example of what I mean is attached in the photo.
Hi!, thank you for the information. I tested it yesterday changing the sound tone to default and it worked properly.
Strangely, the alarm sound was set to "22" whatever that means, and when I tested in the menu it sounded good.

Heyyo, ah it could have been from a previous ROM install alarm sound or something. Glad it's fixed now
