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.
I used the volume rocker to go all the way down.. but the last option is just vibrate. Whenever i get a message it vibrates and i NEED it on silent... no vibrant.. same with calls and other notifications.. when i hold the off button, it says Phone silent: sound it OFF, but it's really vibrate.. help?
if you flashed a rom and you're tryimg to get your phone in silent its only goin to say vibrate so to put it on silent go to STTINGS-SOUND-NEVER... thats how you put your phone in silent and as soon as you select that option an icon will appear in the status bar letting you know that your phone is in silent mode.....
Does anyone else have this problem?
I have an unlocked GS2, running XWKE7, it was supplied like this.
The problem I have is that it often goes into silent mode when left unattended! Not only is it silent but the vibration is switched off, something that I can't it to do myself! If I lower the volume manually, it gets quieter and then goes to Silent but it still vibrates. The auto switching problem makes the ringer Silent with the Vibrate switched OFF.
I had thought it might be happening due to being in my pocket but yesterday, I kept it out of my pocket all day and it did it whilst left on my desk.
I'm currently also using Launcher Pro but it was doing this before I installed LP.
Hi,
I have the annoying problem that my s2 turns off vibration mode when put to silence. If I manually go under settings->sound->silent mode and put that to 'vibrate' it works for that time being. But the next time, it all go back to no-vibration mode.
Looking at my friend phone(s2), he got the option of two different mode of silent when using the volume up/down. One with vibration and one without.
In fact, when I put my phone to silent and manually go to settings to put on vibration( I can see the vibration icon on top). It still does not vibrate on notification, ringing nor sms. But strangely from third party application it vibrates, like whatapp messenger.
vibration work when I have sound on.
So the problem is that when I put it on silent it automatically turns off the vibration mode.. and when I manually put silent mode to vibration, it still doesn't vibrate, only on 3rd party apps..
I have factory reset my phone several times, with no luck. It sounds to me that this is some software issue, but can't really seem to find any solution to this very annoying problem.
Any hints that can point me in the right direction?

My phone is always on vibrate. But I sometimes by mistake hit the volume down button and the phone goes into no vibrate mode without me noticing. It is starting to get quite annoying.
Is there any quick solution to get rid of it being able to go into no vibrate mode?
I asked few days ago a similar question:
hitting by mistake the up volume button take me out of mute mode.
So, we are both looking for a away to prevent volume buttons from changing mute/vibrate mode to another mode.
I don't think there is a quick solution for this. Perhaps a programmer will be able to write a mode for that, I don't know.
