alarm tones no longer work!!! - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
My alarm tones have stopped playing when the alarm goes off the phone just vibrates which is quite annoying as it made me late for work today!
has anyone come accross this before and know how to fix it???
cheers!

That happened to me, i downloaded audiomanager and set the alarm volume to max. Hasn't happened since!

Happened to me, go into alarm sounds (where you pick the sound of your alarm), then adjust volume, only place it appears, took me ages to find it.

...sorry, where's Alarm Sounds? Can't find a volume option

use the volume buttons whilst on alarm sounds

the alarm problem

i set the alarm at 8.30am. but if i turn off the handset or turn it into silent, it doesnt work. is this the rule of the hero? but as to my very old phone, its alarm still work either in each condition of turning off or vibration or silent mode. you know, the alarm should work or ring in any condition or time. because of that, i missed my uni course on monday and sleep until 11am, jesus.
after going through the user manual still cant find any related answers. dont know if this is so. thanks xxxx
Hi, my phone works for me if it's on / in sleep mode I think maybe check that you have not got volume down - easily happens just by holding the phone with the button on the side.
Also put it into Vibrate mode, that is loud enough to wake you up if you want it on silent.
I only keep my phone on silent during day, at nite it's on normal lol
The alarm won't ring if the phone is switched off, but it will if the phone is on vibrate. However, you might need to make sure that you've put it on vibrate by going into settings menu, and putting 'incoming calls volume' to 0, rather than using the volume button on the side of the phone. I've noticed that using the volume button puts the phone in 'Silent Mode' which is different to just having no ringing volume.
Yeah as above, if the phone is off- proper off not in sleep it won't switch itself on (like nokias) and sound the alarm. However mine works fine when in silent mode- the alarm still sounds.

oh i see now, you told me what was happening. i used the volume button to put it in 'silent mode', therefore the alarm doesnt work. i tested just now, it does need to turn into silent through the menu, either via the setting menu or the power off button to choose the silent or vibrate mode. thank you very much indeed.
I think you're all missing the easiest way.
Go into alarm settings. Select the alarm you're trying to configure. Hit the Alarm Sound option to bring up the list of alarm sounds. Now, with the list up, press the volume up button on the side of the phone. You'll see a new volume slider, "Alarm Volume", which is independent of the phone's silent state. Enjoy

well, hero has many hidden suprises waiting us to dig out. thanks. but if only turn into silent by the side volumn button, the alarm doesnt work still, cos when i adjusted the alarm volumn in the alarm setting, it's already in high volumn instead of silent.
anyway, you tell me a new way to configure the alarm volumn, many thanks.

Surely the easiest and quickest way is to put it into silent mode: one long press on the hangup key followed by a tap on silent mode.

Uh... That doesn't exactly let you increase the alarm volume.
And I just checked on mine, the alarm, surprise surprise, plays at the Alarm Volume - whether or not the phone is on Vibrate.

alarm clock

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???

Disable alarm volume?

I've had an issue where my alarm volume mysteriously get set so low that I don't hear it go off. Is there a way I can freeze the volume or change something that will disable the volume control for the alarm?
Get alarm clock xtreme free. It locks your alarm volume.

trying that one out next to see if it helps. cheers

Ringing tones shortcut

In the evening i often use "silence" tone instead of ringing tone which is normally set through the day. I dont like to turn off the phone through the night.
But to set "silence" and back you need to touch screen 5 times: unlock/settings/sound/sound profile/silence
Is there any option to put direct shortcut for Sound profile on my homescreen??? Or is there any other way?
Thanks for helping.

Use the volume buttons when you at the home screen, you can put it to silence, vibrate and the ringing tone (adjusting the volume of the tone)
Thank you for your help. I just didn t think of that!!! It s so simple
While I m here just one more question:
I have a problem of no sound alarm (only visual note) on my Reminder date/time set note.
When I receive sms or email the choosen sound alarm normally appears.
I tried everything, I have set sound alarm also for Reminder but still no sound when set reminder appears.
Do you have any solution for that?

Look in sound settings if your alarm sound is on
Yes, all the sounds are on.
I m thinking a bit there s maybe not an option of having sound alarm for Reminder (only visual reminder)!?
Strange, but I just can t find answer to that anywhere.

Alarm Issues

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.
Regards,

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