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.
To start off, i'm running gingerblur and i use the alarm on my phone almost every night. I also leave my phone on vibrate most of the time. The problem i am having is that i will go to bed with my phone in vibrate mode but when i take it off the charger in the morning (after the alarm goes off) it turns my ringer back on. Granted its usually at the lowest volume but still i would like for it to stay in vibrate mode. Is there a way to do this?
Also is there a way to go completely into silent mode by pressing the volume keys? It would be nice if i could just press volume down once in vibrate mode and it would change to silent mode.
Thanks in advance.
sigh, bump
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???
Got gohma 2.2 running. Set my alarm and when it goes off I can swipe to sleep but if I swipe to turn off it disappears but keeps vibrating. Anyone have similar problems?
Hi, not sure if anyone else has had this issue.
It's only really been happening to me the last few mornings when I wake up.
My screen is blank, the top half (no clock showing) the bottom half shows the bottom half with the fingerprint and if I touch anything, it's just frozen.
My alarm has sounded while it's been like this, and it shows the slider to turn it off, but again won't actually slide when I try, so the alarm keeps sounding.
The only way i it responds normally is if I press the off button to turn the screen off, then press it again to turn it back on, and then it seems back to normal.
I can't think of anything I have installed recently that might be causing it?
Anyone got any ideas please?
Regards
James
Do you use goodlock and custom clocks on aod and lock screen?
I do use goodlock yeah, thinking about it, I did recently charge a setting for aod to wake up notifications. It's there a glitch with that do you know?
I have had my screen go black and wont respond to any presses. Then when pressing the powerbutton the screen shows the home and back button only but responds to nothing, except I can use the sidebar, click on calander for example and then it allows me to unlock. Did this a few times but has not done it again after a power off and on.
