couldn't find anything in the user manual - is there any way to get it to sound longer than 1 minute?
i riipped the sound file from that samsung video (where are you going today) but it only plays for one minute
so i figured it might be something i did in editing the file, so i went back to the stock sounds, and still only plays for one minute.
btw - to that poster with problems - when i left my phone charging overnite, apparently the "battery fully charge notification" stopped the alarm action -
I use Gentle Alarm. Haven't had a problem with it. One of my favorite functions is the ability to choose an artist from you music collection instead of a ring tone. When ever the alarm goes off the app will pick a random song from that artist to play.
but how long will the alarm sound for ? mine stops dead at one minute
I'm also interested in an alarm replacement. To make matters worse than the one minute time limit is that if I don't hit snooze it doesn't go off again, even though I have it set to go off five times. The stock alarm is pretty lame.
Gentle Alarm will keep going. I'm a fairly deep sleeper and I've never slept through it.

thanks - i'll give it a try
Nice, thanks. I already like it as long as it works. The playlists and night display are bonus.

Hi! I am using the 4.0 Biggy with Cube by ttran. Its great and I like it a lot the only weird thing I've had to deal with is that it seems like everytime I set an alarm it goes off, regardless of if it is the current one set, or if it is even set.
Example.
I set alarm 1 for 9am and then I change it to 10am. Then I change it to 8am. Then I change it to 9am. The alarm will go off at 8am, and then two alarms (it will give me two notices and I can hear my alarm ring tone echoing, meaning two tones are going off) and then the alarm will go off at 10am.
Even then this doesn't seem to happen consistently, but it happens enough to where its starting to be an inconvenience. This morning i had 3 alarms pop up at my normal alarm time, with 3 tones overlaying each other pretty much going off at approximately the same time.
Does anybody know what the issue is here, I know the Dash had certain alarm problems where it went off everyday at the same time but its not quite the same as mine.
Please advise, thanks!
winmo has always been slightly spotty when it came to alarms. i suggest a third party program
I've used Memmaid to delete duplicate notifications/alarms. I don't know what freeware is out there that can duplicate this function but I'm sure there is something.
Has anyone had the problem where the alarm on the alarm clock rings a single time and them stops ringing?
I have the checkbox in the control panel checked for repeat sound yet it seems to have started only ringing once (which is really annoying if you're a heavy sleeper).
Any help would be appreciated.
Yeah, I have that too. The only thing I've found it to be sure your reminders are on and it will remind you in a few minutes that you missed your alarm. Unfortunately the reminder tone will play at the end of your alarm tone as well so I picked a reminder that sounds OK with my alarm....
Hopefully someone will have a better solution.
p.s. I've noted that if attached to external power the alarm will repeat but if not, it won't. Seems it sleeps right after the alarm if alarm sounds when screen is locked and won't wake to continue the alarm.....
I suspected it was a power saving method but it's a pretty lousy method if it breaks the primary usage.
I decided to install a 3rd party alarm clock called Klaxon. It's free and it works great.
is there any way to set the alarm to not stop going off untill snoozed or dismissed
I had that problem too. The problem is the alert plays and then there is a long pause, up to 5 mins I've seen, then plays again. Sometimes it doesnt play again, which is bad. I've never seen a fix for it. I use an app called gAlarm which is 100 times better. It can over ride the built in sense alarm so you can see it on your home screen.
I found an alarm app called Klaxon which is free. Its a lot better than the stock alarm and you can set song as the alarms, & you can set a time to play the song ( I do 10 minutes) and if nothing happens after that 10 minutes it snoozes which you can set the time for that also.
Check it out. all you got to do is google klaxon for hd2
thank you both lol i just came from iphone and they had the perfect alarm lol even rang when phone was off
Just got my DX (2.2) yesterday and the first thing I have noticed just like my Droid 2 Global is that the Alarm sound is really low. I mean the vibrate of the phone woke me up, I picked up the phone and I could barely hear the Alarm sound. I have looked in sounds/volumes etc... and the Alarm sound is turned all the way up.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
My alarm sound was loud as heck on my D1 with the same settings.
Oh and how in the heck do you make it so every time I either plug in my usb or reboot while it is charging that Verizon's V-Cast Media center website doesn't keep popping up. That is so annoying.
Found my Answer, it was in the Motorola icon on my desktop. Had to set it to nothing instead of web site

I just noticed that when I got into Battery Manager and hit the battery to see what is using my battery, it Force closes every time.
I'm starting to thing my D2G is a better phone.
Did you check to make sure the alarm clock app isn't set to gradually raise the volume? Check in that particular alarm's settings.
Well I did look at it but I thought I had it set correctly. Thanks for the help, now I will get up in time.
I think I get so use to things being set up a certain way that I forget the simplist things when it comes times to use it again.
Heck I couldn't even remember how to keep my screen on while charging!!! DOH
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone else is having alarm issues? I got the s7 last weekend and I work night shift so I set my alarm for 2:50pm. Everyday it goes off at 2:30 but with a different alarm tone.
nope. mine goes off daily at 630 on the dot.

Make sure there's not a conflicting app that changes things! I was using audio manager pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget&hl=en
for a while. After the Marshmallow update.....forget it. It would reset my notification sounds every time it was active from the toggles I set up. Drove me up the wall for a couple of weeks because I couldn't figure out why the phone was doing that.
Some apps have a setting for the ringtone and if left at "default" it may actually pick up the actual original default of the phone, not anything you set as default. That's what this app did. Basically, for me- what was happening was every time the app to scheduled the sounds to be at a certain volume, as soon as it would change back, it would reset to the default sound.
I went one by one uninstalling apps to see if it persisted, if so, I'd reinstall an app, then go on to the next with the same process. I lucked out and found it after a few apps which was causing it. I ended up switching to Volume Control https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=netroken.android.persistfree&hl=en and it does everything the audio manager pro app did that I wanted and more.
(for the record, I wanted a widget that showed the levels, single toggle widgets for certain levels like mute, off, low, loud, as well as scheduling multiple time frames for different days to have the sounds at certain levels),
Anyway- point is, it could be in an app that you have that manages the sounds or alarms or something of that nature....you might think about checking to see if it impacts things by the uninstalling/reinstalling process until you narrow it down.
