Is there anything you can do to make the alarm clock actually repeat instead of just playing once, you know like a real alarm clock?
Yes. When the alarm rings, hit the right softmenu key marked "Menu", and there's a bunch of snooze options.

For some reason my clock on the main screen (top right) has changed from digital to analogue. I didn't change anything so either it was by accident or it somehow changed on its own. What's even weirder, when I press the on button for it to wake up from standby, sometimes the clock is back to digital, but only for a few seconds and then it's analogue again. Any idea where I can change this? Couldn't find anything in settings. Thanks.
Tap and hold on the clock. You will then be presented with your choice of Analog or Digital.
Thanks! Should have figured that one out...
Are there shortcuts to activate/deactivate silent mode and vibrate mode or is the menu or volume button the only way? Sometimes I want to increase the volume and switch on vibrate, which doesn't seem possible unless you go into the menu. Also is there a way to set it to one ring only, or beep mode?
You can install any of the "switch mode" widget that you can find in Market, but the fastest way to change suond profile is push the volume down button for more than 2 seconds, phone will put in silent mode, then push once volume up to set it to vibrate. Push volume up for more than 2 seconds to restore full ring
Yep, seems to be the fastest way to change the volume and set silent, a bit annoying that it beeps along the way but no big deal.
But, if you do that to set it on vibrate, it doesn't seem to work for text messages... those stay silent because they have a separate setting to vibrate. WHY?!?!!!
Always seemed like an easy thing on symbian & windows mobile, you hold one button or a couple of clicks later everything is set to vibrate, especially useful if outdoors and can't hear messages.
I just hold down the END key and select "Silent Mode". Is that not an option on your phone?
Check out egg 'n stones' "Profiles" application in the market. You can define and set profiles from the application plus you can create shortcuts to any profile. For every profile you can set the volume of the different types of sounds (alarms, notifications, media, speech, etc.) It's my favourite profile manager.
Cheers.
thanks, i'll check it out
Or just install these widgets from Jerpelea's rom page. You can find the widgets link on the palm pre theme rom, 2nd post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538633
There is a really nice 1 button widget that sits on your home screen and you can press it and it cycles between silet, vibrate and ring.
Just allow the phone to accept 'unkown sources' in the application menu. Then access the widgets from the sd card (save them there) and then you can install them.
I have got a wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, brightness & volume widget that all have little blue icons that match downloaded from the marketplace..
there from Rounded Labs.. All free as well
my phone started acting weird lately. I can switch to silent or vibrating mode with the volume button when I first turn on the phone, but after I make one phonecall it stops that function and starts working as a up-down button that can navigate within the menu items and such.
I have checked all of the settings options that might have an affect on this, but couldn't find anything yet.
Any suggestions as for how I can fix this?
Vibrate all??
My volume buttons controlled all the notifications and sounds on my previous Android phones. That is NOT the case on the Samsung Vibrant. It will only control the volume for the incoming call ringer. I would have to go to settings for every notification volume to lower them and set them to vibrate. The only option I've found is t set the volume all the way down to silent on the side of the phone which will silence everything. The problem is, there is ZERO notification whatsoever. No led, no sound, no vibrate.
Isn't there a way to have the volume control all the sounds and vibration mode on the phone as a global setting?
I use my phone as an alarm to wake up in the morning, but I can't figure out how to change the sound to something else. "alarm" wasn't anywhere in the Sounds > Notifications menu, and "reminders" isn't the same thing. Anyone know?
1. tap the clock in manila home tab then move to the alarm tab, this is the place where you can change settings for alarm. (or you can directly tab the alarm button placed beneath the clock)
or
2. tap start menu > all setting > clock & alarm > alarms > tap the bell icon
Thank you, you're a genius!

what is the difference between ring and system?
and also i cant seem to get the phone to ring with sound and vibrate at the same time
Ringing with sound and vibrate is something you set in "Sound and Notifications".
Go to the Manilla Settings tab, hit "Menu", "All Settings".
The "System" volume is the volume for things like game sounds, music, video playback, et cetera, whereas the "Ringer" volume is for notifications.
In "Sound & Display" under Manilla Settings tab you can merge the Ringer and System volume so they become on-and-the-same (I personally prefer this).

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well notifications, sms, emailsound etc. is set via system as well. Ringer is really ONLY the ringer for an incoming call
and how do you lower the volume for alarm?
settings - sound and display - notification souds - new message (click new message, not the slider box) - move the slider on vibrate to OFF - done.
The alarm will sound at whatever volume level the device is currently set to.
Want it lower - lower the volume before going to bed.
thanks alot! i didn't know i can click on the new message =)
thats where you pick the sound you want it to make.
does it for all of them under notification sounds.
