Disable alarm volume? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

alarm tones no longer work!!!

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!

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

Thank a lot. It worked fine for me!

A couple bugs..

So I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or if it was just me..
I've noticed that no matter what my ringer volume is set to, it blares as loud as it can. If it's at one tick above silent it will be super quiet, but any more and it's at max volume.
I also noticed that when the alarm goes off, the side buttons do nothing. Even when the side button behavior option is set up properly in the alarm options.
Anyone else seeing this stuff?

Ringer:
I have not had this issue.
Alarm:
I tested this and the volume buttons don't do anything....but if you use the power button it will snooze the alarm.
As far as the ringer, try turning off the pocket mode.

In your sound settings is the box checked for "use incoming call volume for notification volume"?

alarm volume ics 10.6

I have a question about the alarm volume,
I usually sleep with the headphones in listening to Pandora on my vibrant....however the alarm volume is somehow tied to the media volume so when the alarm goes off I never hear it.
is there a work around to have the alarm volume completely separate from the rest of the volumes?

I only see this kind of tweak on cyanogenmod based roms. As passion already have some cyanogen app settings, maybe its something that could come in newer versions.

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???

Separate ringtone volume from alarm volume

My wife has a non rooted 3d and since she took the ics update the alarm won't sound unless the ringer is turned on even if the alarm volume is turned up. Has anyone had this problem and able to fix without rooting?

The original fix for that was an app from the Play Store called Enhanced Ringer Control.
Since then, a couple of other apps became available that were linked in this post. AFAIK, none of these require root.
There may be more apps available by now but those are the ones I know about. CM9 has separate volume controls as well but you would need to be rooted to flash that.

So I tried each of those apps plus one or two others, but the alarm still fails to sound if the ringer volume is off. Those apps did separate the ringer and notification volume though. Maybe I just need to convince my wife to root her phone and flash another rom...
Anyone have any other ideas to fix?

Maybe something like Tasker. Set it to turn the ringer/alarm volume up when an alarm triggers and then turn back down.

I have a little tasker task that controls my alarm volume on my HTC desire with leedroid. When the alarm sounds it slowly increases the alarm volume to wake me more gently. I've migrated my Tasker settings across to my HTC One X with Maximus 3.2 rom on it. My alarm does sound with the ringer volume right down but the alarm volume increase task doesn't appear to trigger or if it does the alarm volume remains unchanged.
Really did like my gentle alarm task...
Anyone know where to start?
