[Q] My Alarm goes off without any sound or vibration - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi Everyone,
This is my first post, I'm having trouble with my alarm, i set it with sound and vibration and it goes off silently without vibrating or sounding. I check all my settings of course, went to my Today menu, clock and alarms all seem to be set ok.... Can anyone PLEASE help! I woke up very late for work thanks to my phone!!

have you checked your notifications volume? And I assume you have also installed a media folder so actually have an alarm sound picked? Mine is working fine on Froyostone v1

Anyone else having problems with the alarm clock not ringing on the Magic?

Sometimes, my default android alarm just doesn't ring in the morning, even though i'm sure it is supposed to ring..
The screen just turns on at the alarm time, giving me an option of snooze or dismiss, but there is no sound or vibrate notification at all.
I've googled it up, and seems like a ton of ppl are having this issue.
Anyone here know a quick fix regarding this? thanks!

I found that the stock sounds were too short to wake me up so I downloaded a new clock app for free called digital clock. It has worked great for the last week I have been using it
change time zone
I have the same problem until i change the timezone to the correct one, then it worked for me.
I had this problem with my Rogers Magic also -
When you're inside the "choose an alarm sound" menu and scrolling through the list,
if you press the volume buttons on the side of the phone then you can manually adjust
the alarm sound (mine was set to 0). Not sure what causes it to set to zero,
presumably when you take the phone off silent mode it sometimes fails to update the
alarm as well? This still needs looking at because it means the alarm volume resets
to zero of its own accord, but it can at least be managed by manual readjustment.
Hope this helps!
P.S. It might also be worth noting that when I was having this problem, no
third-party alarm apps would play the stock alarm sounds either.

lol I had this problem way back in my g1 days. I've tried everything from not closing the app from not allowing the phone to sleep. It seems to work at
random. This bug never seems to have been addressed with any updates or in the roms. I just use my alarm clock, its a hell of a lot more reliable. If you travel just get one of those clam shell clocks like my dad uses haha.

Bug with the settings of the alarm clock ?

Hello everyone !
I bought a HTC leo last week (such an amazing smartphone Oo), but, I have a small problem with it !
So, after setting up the alarm clock (Sound = Alarm-Snooze), when it comes the time, it doesn't do the right sound, but it does the sound of a simple reminder !!! That's a bit annoying... Such sound is not enought to wake me up xD
I have also another problem, when I set "Emit alarm when the phone is in vib/silencious mode" (sorry for the bad translation, but I've got my phone in French ^^'), it doesn't work !!!! Which is also annoying, because, when I sleep, my phone is in vib mode.
So, to resume, two problems :
- Setting a sound for the alarm doesn't work
- Setting "Emit alarm when the phone is in vib/silencious mode" doesn't work
How can I solve those problems ?
Thanks !
PS : Sorry for the bad English ~~
I would like to find a permanent fix for this as it's now annoying me BUT what I have found is that if you go into the sound settings area and leave it in normal but just turn down the phone volume leaving the system sounds turned on/up you will then get the notification tone followed by the alarm tone you select.
Highly annoying that your notification tone is played when you choose a different alarm tone though. also a big shame that putting the phone into silent doesn't allow the alarm to overide the sound settings as it does on nearly every phone i've had.
Haven't tried turning the phone off to see if the alarm wakes it up and then goes off though.

Alarm won't repeat

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.

[Q] Disable sound while switching sound profile

Hi all,
Is there a way to disable the sound and vibration you get when you're switching between sound profiles?
The idea is to remove the vibration or beep I get when my alarm clock is switching the sound profile to be able ring.
Device is rooted if needed! Thanks for any help (Hate this f****g noise instead of my sweet music to wake up peacefully)
Cheers

Alarm silent in mute mode

Hi,
I have a problem regarding my new S7 Edge (international version, newest update installed).
When I set my phone to "mute mode", it is supposed to mute everything but the alarm sound. When I go into my alarm settings, the sound is set to max. I am using the stock alarm app.
When my alarm starts, there is no sound unfortunately. While the alarm "rings", i need to volume up using the volume buttons in order to hear something. But of course, this is not what i want.
After i increased the volume while the alarm rang and set a new alarm, everything works fine. When i set my phone to "loud mode" and reset it to "mute mode", the problem starts all over again.
A solution is to turn on "no disturb mode", allow the alarm as an exception and leave the phone on "loud mode". But then, i can still hear system and button sounds. So this solution is not perfect for me.
On my old S6 Edge, this works perfectly so I don't understand why this is not working on the S7 Edge. I also used the app "sound profile", configured a profile with everything muted (excluding alarm volume, which was set to maximum) but the problem still exists.
I hope somebody can help me..
Best regards
