Limit notifications to a special app during night - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all
Until now, I did my phone into flight mode during night. But as I now have a monitoring app (canary), I would like to mute all notification exept from this app. Is this somehow possible? The do not disturb funktion only allows to limit to the alarm clock. (the alarm clock should ring, too, also in mine case).
Many thanks for any tips.

[REQUEST]Alarm app that repeats alarm until snooze or dismiss button is pressed.

Stock alarm only plays alarm once, and thats it. So if I'm a deep sleeper, then im obviously not gonna hear it.
Anyone know any alarm apps that play the alarm ringtone over and over and over again UNTIL you dismiss or snooze it?

Are you sure about that?
It does allow snooze, may be you switched it off while asleep and forgot it, happen to me a few times.
Yeah, it only plays once and thats it. snooze and dismiss button remain there, but no more ringing after the first ring..
i use Alarm Klock and find it works very well. you can choose the alarm tone, set many alarms and snooze time is variable. It also has a slider function for turning the alarm off, so it cant be done while half asleep ;-)
Alarm klock works perfectly the way I needed it, thanks a lot for ur contribution

Alarms 1.1
"Sanfter Wecker" is a very useful Alarm Clock. The best thing about is that you can adjust the alarm volume because the standard alarm is way too loud.
You can test it before you buy it. There is a test version available on the market.
Try Math alarm clock (com.av.mac.apk).
The stock alarm is very weak. What is the point of the snooze when it rings once? and they have a time setting for the snooze which I find is pointless. I set it at five minutes but nothing happens.
I am using Alarm Clock Xtreme, which has lots of settings perfect for me.
+1
Alarm clock extreme is the best alarm. Very customizable.
AlarmDroid'd make you happy then : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.splunchy.android.alarmclock

[Q] Calendar alarm

I would like my calendar reminders to be tied to my alarm rather than notifications. The problem with it being tied to notifications is that I don't want texts/emails waking me up at night, but I want an 8AM meeting (which I had this morning and overslept for ) to generate an alarm for, say, 6.30. On my nokia n95 that I had before this, I could set reminders for an arbitrary time before a meeting and it would generate an alarm with an alarm tone, not a notification style *beep* tone that does not repeat. So, what I want is actually pretty simple -
1) Decouple calendar alerts from notification volume
2) Be able to set an alarm reminder at some arbitrary time before a meeting
I've done a bit of research and there doesn't seem to be a satisfactory solution to something that seems like a basic problem to me. So, if anyone here has ideas, please let me know.
Tasker maybe?

[REQ/Idea] Alarm app

While there's a lot of alarm apps I somehow can't manage to find one that has everything I want from a good alarm. So I'm hoping that some of my ideas will inspire someone to make the perfect alarm app!
what no alarm app has:
- increasing ring after snooze (as in the first time the alarm goes of it starts at 10%. Then I snooze it and when it goes of the next time it starts at 30%, making me wake up faster. And so on for the next alarms after snoozing)
- follow the ICS design guidelines
what it should also have:
- increasing ring (as in the alarm gets louder every x seconds it's playing)
- simple alarm screen with time, large snooze, small dismiss button
- use the android alarm feature (no seperate notification icon but use the android one next to the clock)
Look for AlarmDroid in Play Store.
I will post the link later in case you can't find it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.splunchy.android.alarmclock&feature=nav_result
Should have all your requested features.
It's missing the first item on my list: increasing ring after snooze. It just has the normal increasing ring feature.
Thread moved to Q&A.

This last request is not possible. First off, there isn't a standard android alarm... many phones include many different default alarms... and of the many I've seen, none of them have a notification icon next to the clock, so I have no idea what you are even talking about.
Any alarm app is just that, an app, with its own notification icons and such. Your not going to find anything that is going to edit how your particular phone's default clock+alarm app works.

It is well possible. Almost all the alarm apps out there do it. The feature has been there since Cupcake!

Have you used Alarm Clock Xtreme? Not exactly what you are asking for but it does have an option where the alarm can start quiet and increase to a pre-set volume level. You also choose the length of time until your volume level is reached.
Seems similar enough.
that's the "normal" increasing ring that pretty much every alarm clock has
Ummm... except for the entire fact that the fade-in time is customizable and you are not limited in which sounds you can choose. Along with several other customizable features - like auto-snooze, limited number of snoozes, math problems [or other hoops] to dismiss alarm, etc. - in this app. When I was testing out alarm apps, it did not take up lots of RAM through the day and was very stabe.
So no, that is not

I do realize that a 'fade in' alarm is common, but I really enjoyed all the features built into Alarm Clock Xtreme. I figured I would share as you seemed to be seeking an alarm app. Guess you are really ony seeking someone to create your dream app - good uck with that.

there's loads of great alarm apps out there. feature-wise Alarm Clock Extreme is among them, though the UI is quite outdated and needs polish.
I prefer CM10s alarm app, but it's also missing the feature i'm looking for, else it'd be perfect

No alarm sound

Is anyone having any issues with third party clock and alarm apps? I set my alarm and it does not ring at all despite having all sound and notifications settings correct. The default clock and alarm app work fine but I would really like to wake up to a song/music I choose.
Any possible fix/solutions?

I just got an p9000 and have the same problem .. I´ve tried to add the app (tried a few, used to run Gentle Alarm) to the white list, but it makes no difference ...
I even tried to use the Gentle Alarm "night display" to keep the display on, but still no alarm ...
(would´nt be a problem, unless all the stock alarm sounds are so hideous)
Any ideas?
edit: clicked on the "lamp" button in Gentle Alarm, that says "keep display on", and the night display, that worked! Kind of annoying to have the screen on through the night, but I did wake up to my favorite song!

Protect notification from being cleared?

There were a slew of notifications on my phone earlier, and I just hit the "clear" button at the bottom to make them all go away. Turns out one of them was for an upcoming alarm I had set and didn't notice, and apparently clearing the notification dismissed the alarm so it never went off. (I'm running the standard google "clock" app since I'm used to it, not the samsung clock app).
Any way to prevent an app notification from being cleared? Any way to remove the "clear" button from the notifications? Any better clock app that doesn't have this problem and also functions correctly with snooze mode?
