When I sleep I like to have the phone ringer on silent, but unfortunately this stops my morning alarm from making any noise.
Is there no way to mute calls whilst leaving the alarm alone to do its thing?
It seems the alarm won't work when the phone is turned off, so that's no use either.

It works fine for me. I use it as an alarm daily, and I too want the phone on silent.
There is a setting that you may want to check.
Go to settings, menu, all settings, clocks & alarms (you should automatically be on the "more" tab), and ensure that "sound alarms blah blah silent etc." is ticked.

Brilliant! That should cover it. Mine was unticked. Thanks a million.
A friend of mine was also asking for a method of turning the phone off, but still allowing the alarm to work. Do you know if this is possible?

AFAIK, this just isn't possible. It's not something that you could develop software for either. Just keep it on charge overnight instead

He could turn 'airplane mode' on which would stop the phone/email/sms part of the phone working, so he wouldn't get disturbed by a ringing phone during the night! (and it would save a fair bit of battery life too).

That is a great idea simple and to the point. Glad I found this thread I looked for the alarm setting for 10 minutes this morning and couldn't find it but I knew it was there. As usual XDA comes thru again now if I can just get the BT Announce Calls to work on 6.5 Sprint Touch Pro...

I believe that its a highly personal thing. I've never had a problem with it and it has been waking me up every workday morning for months. Volume is fine for me, vibrate is fine for me, the duration of the alarm is fine for me (I know that some opeople have reported issues with this) and the snooze is fine for me, when I choose to use it. I suppose I'm easy to please I know that some people have issues with having to leave the phone switched on to be able to use the alarm (so they could potentially be woken by calls, texts, emails, internet feed updates etc, if they don't put the phone on silent or in airplane mode, or the battery could run flat overnight). I've only seen a Symbian S60 phone actually "turn itself on" to ring an alarm though).
Couple times in my case alarm didn't go off at all.
As I read somewhere in the forum, I disabled "notification sounds" (from BsB I believe) and it hasn't failed me once since then.
What I do not understand tho, is why the builtin alarm tones play only twice. Makes no sense.
Also, it's silly to have all the ringtones in \windows\, how messy can that folder get?
I'm not talking of being able to configure the folder myself, bu why not using \my documents\alarms or whatever?

well normal phones can do it too, and i think the volume of the alarm is pretty high, sometimes a i forget to turn down the volume, and it woke up the whole house
it's stupid because it doesn't ring for long enough.
Please help save a life, I'm going to jump off the nearest bridge if my wifes phone wakes me out of a dead sleep vibrating on full charge again. everynight the same thing. Is there anyway to stop it on a stock eclair phone? I could root it but she won't let me change the rom. anyway to do it on the stock system?
How about plugging it in a different room than the one you are sleeping in.
Dude, you must be a light sleeper if the vibration wakes you. I used to get woken up by the sound clip it played, so I renamed the file and no more sound!
But to stop it from vibrating? I don't think there's a way to do that other than tell your wife not to put the phone on vibrate! (what's with women and vibrate? lol)
There's an app in the Market called Silent Toggle Widget. It allows a full silent mode... but now that I think of it, I think Eclair offers full silence already. And I don't know whether it would work anyway.
I'm in the same boat as you. That vibrate would wake me up every damn night. I finally just got in the habit of charging to 100% when I get home, then plugging it in in the bedroom before I brush my teeth. Now the vibrate happens before I get into bed. I know it's not a good solution, but it's the best I've found.
I just now noticed in my Sound settings that there's a "Vibrate" selection that has the option "Never". Does Eclair have that? Maybe that would do it?
Good luck! I feel your pain.

trust me the vibrate is loud, I could have her put it on sound, not an issue, but where is the sound file and how do I get rid of it? assume I would need to root to do that?

is it because it's sitting on a nightstand or dresser? maybe set a sock or something under it.

that may be an option if I can get her to remember that. but then it would never make any vibration if she forgets to change it. thats the only bad thing.
I was woke up at 3am this morning by the damn charging complete noise.
I do not see a way to turn down system notifications all the way in froyo?
turning down system volume in volume basically turns everything down. anyway to resolve this? This is a huge issue as i cannot turn off my phone at night due to on-call needs and really don't want to be woke up by a stupid beep. Thanks.
Stock, not rooted.

Settings > Sound > Volume
You can adjust the system volume there.
I'd like to know how to turn off the charge complete message as well
System volume is for boot noises and I believe the charge complete noise.
It won't turn down incoming call or notification volumes.

hmm, i went back and tried that again and i think it may be working.
i thought the first time i did that my meeting reminders were no longer making noises but maybe i was just to tired at 3am and not thinking straight. thanks.
We will have to wait for another Mod for the charge complete notificiation.
Give it a day or two.
y not just use audio manager, its an app that lets u turn down the noises on the system, alarm, and notifications.. it comes with a widget too. there is a free and full version, no difference to me
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897829&highlight=TW_Battery_caution
It would be nice to get rid of the notification, beyond just the sound. I have my dock set up as an alarm clock, with screen saver, but the notification coming on overrides the screen saver function...

On 2.1 I set my system notification volume to 0 after the first time it happened. When updating to 2.2 it sets it back to max, at least for me it did.
Gotta love the world of re-tweaking
Sent from my Epic 4g Runnin Froyo...rooted for my pleasure!!
What I would like to know is how to make the phone use the text to speech to let me know who is calling. On 2.1 there was an option for this but after updating I can't find it anymore and my calls just ue the normal ringtone again. It would, in the past say "Call from John Doe or call from 555-222-3333" depending on if the caller was saved in my contacts or not. (& no I don't want to install an app to take care if this if possible because this was built in, sort of, when text to speech was installed and set up in the setting menu on 2.1)

I am told when charging of the phone is complete it vibrates for a few seconds. Anyone know how to turn this off as no-doubt it will waken me?
Thanks.
Not only that, but it makes a stupidly loud pinging noise, too. It woke me up at 3am this morning. I can't find anything in the settings to turn it off.
Anyone?
I don't know why Samsung and LG thinks this is useful.
i dont wake up for anything!! i havent noticed this once yet. does it only ping/vibrate when you are charging when the phone is on? or when it off also?
Only when it's on. I think that the pinging noise is controlled by the System volume slider in the settings menu, I had it up to full which is probably what caused it to wake me. I've put it down to about 2 now but am yet to test to see if it's quieter.
I can't find anything to turn off the vibration though.
I'm yet to get my phone, so can't check, but have you checked in the sound settings? There's apparently an option for Vibration if I'm understanding page 129 of the manual.
" Vibration: Set when the device will vibrate for various events"
I'm hoping the fully charged event is one of these.
OK, so the ping isn't controlled by System, it's controlled by Notifications. Which is really stupid because if you turn the volume down on that how are you supposed to hear when you've got a text message?
Disabling 'Haptic Feedback' in the Sounds menu seems to disable the vibration part of the notification. It also disables vibration on all other UI interactions, though.
Anyone got a solution to this really annoying problem?
do you really have to have your phone so close to you when you sleep???

If you can try and get me something to go on, I can perhaps try to find out what is causing this vibration...
I am guessing it comes from the framework...

I don't have anything to go on other than that the phone makes a loud beep two times and vibrates when charged.
I mentioned it in one of previous topics covering this problem and I will mention it once again.
SGS i9000 had the same problem in one of the first firmwares. Vibrations and sounds when battery charged have disappeared starting from (I think) one of the first Froyo updates from Samsung.
Samsung will hopefully address this problem sooner or later.
I had autostarts purchased, from back when I had to worry about what was running. Looking it seems on plugging the phone to usb or charger it launches "Mtp application" guess that would be a good place to start.
On a slightly different note. Once the phone is fully charged, it stars to drain again. Is there an alarm clock app that keeps the phone around 98% then starts charging again 30 mins before the alarm is due?

But doesn't you change the sms sound from the sms app? Thats how it works usually in Androids. The notification sound is for any other notifications, but you can change different for the sms sound. Thats how it works in Nexus S at least. Same for the gmail app also.
I guess this is in services.jar
I will take a look shortly.
...uurm...dunno if this is what you guys want but
Have your mobile on silent. (Alarms will ring in silent mode)
Go to settings - sound - vibration - Only when not in silent mode
It won't vibrate nor make a sound whilst your asleep

So at least it works in that way. Thats how my phone is always at night. Good to know, my phone will come in about 1 or 2 weeks.

Please. I would be more than happy to send a donation!
There might be a solution if you are rooted...
In the folder /system/media/audio/ui there's a file called Charger_Connection.ogg and you can rename that to Charger_Connection.ogg.bak (personally I use adb and the 'mv' command, Root Explorer should work fine too).
Plugging in the USB cable now doesn't make a noise, just waiting to see what happens when it's fully charged...!
UPDATE: Nope, it uses a different noise... still looking...
I've been putting my note In flight mode and priority interjections only,as I still use the alarm in the morning. However I tend to charge overnight next to me. As there is no real silent mode in lollipop 5.01 how do I stop it vibrating once charged, it's really annoying. I'm glad they are bringing back silent modefinitely in 5.1

Have you tried 'Disable Notifications' in the Blocking Mode settings?
Works for me although it will probably block all other notifications so won't be ideal if you need to receive messages, calls etc

In the interruptions section I've been placing it in only allow priority interruptions, assuming that if i set to do not interrupt the alarm will not sound?
