I've got a dell venue 8 pro and am trying to use its alarm app.
Unfortunately, for some strange reason, when the alarm goes off, the volume of the alarm is very low. I have gone through all the sound settings and volume is maximized for them all. When i play the alarm sound separately, it is loud enough, but whenever the alarm goes off, it is very low.
Anyone have any idea on how to go about fixing it?

Yeah i figured that out after tinkering around. Any idea on how to disable that behavior? I think is shuts off the alarm sound after 5 minutes too

Try this alarm:
http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-gb/app/alarm-clock-hd/4e56c781-8c4a-4a59-8d22-01340e1681e2
User made alarms are so much better than stock

Unfortunately, using a new alarm app didn't make a difference. The alarm still has the same behavior

Yes. The alarm behavior is same for all alarm apps. A system alarm notification toast is displayed with a system sound looping. The loop lasts for 5 minutes only.

But there's still the 5 minute alarm sound duration problem though.

Under Sounds & Notifications, when one selects "Reminders", there is a tick box called "Repeat".
Presumably this means that when an alarm sounds, it should repeat until dismissed. Mine only plays once. Am I missing something?

Hi there,
Mine's a XDA Exec, and it does repeat although it pauses for about a second or two first. Not nearly loud or persistent enough to be a really decent alarm clock though!
OK, so it seems that aeAlarmPlus is the way to go - looks for an alarm and then comes up afterwards to do a repeating/escalating thing of it's own. Works well.
hi there
ok if u talking about alarms then go to clocks & alamrs --- go to alarm tab then set the time whet ever u want to set then click on the "BELL" icon
there is the option to make it repeat and even u can chose the sound
HTH
Regards
Gugi
Yeah, I am using it too.
My problem is that I cant kill the alarm. It gets repeating and I am getting more and more mad. Or is this on purpose ? as I have to wake up and tick the box of with the stylus....
Anybody has the same problem?

Playing with alarms may have been the reason why my calendar was not able any more to remind me.
When soft resetting even alarms of all kind made me mad.
I hard reset (horrible job with a lot of work to do) solved my problem, but I do not touch the alarm any more.
Hope your problem is different

i have the same problem. It goes off every time and repeats for a couple of times and I dont see any option to close/kill it.. good thing I still have te sense not to bang it against the wall like an alarm clock.
i guess if the built in alarm function is not working or it goes crazy, just use any other free alarm application. i know theres a lot of free application out there.
is that it? 3 alarms, with no way of setting the alarm ringtone or loudness of it? Are there any 3rd party apps I could install that would let me have more configurable alarms?
I'd like to get vibration & alarm, not one or the other....
<sigh>

What don't you like about the standard app? You can change the alarm tone and volume at your will- but for all alarms not per alarm
i would love a 3' prty alarm
anyone?

I'd like to have BOTH, so having a decent ring tone and vibration too. I had this on several other phones and been accustomed to it.

I'm using the MTUX AlarmX app on my dual (commercial). I really enjoy it, but functionally is limited.
On my Smartphone I've been using CityTime Alarms.. Also a Nice app.
I used the demo version all the time.. once the alarms are set (in trail periode) you still can use it.. adding new or changing alarms is not possible after the trail periode. So create several different alarms and you'll enjoy it.
I downloaded the PocketPC version right now.. Gonna try it on my dual.
Good luck
pTravelAlarm is what you need.
Can set up to 10 alarms, and also set the volume and have your favourite songs wake you up.
Don't get enAlarm - it's crap - doesn't wake up half the time - DOH!
Is there anyway to have the sound and vibrate turned on at the same time for incoming phones calls only?

How then? I am new to Andriod.
What i want is sound off / vibrate on and vice versa. When i put my phone in vibrate mode, all notifications should be set to vibrate. Turn the volume back up and vibrate stops and sounds are back. Maybe I'm just not smart enough to figure it out.
Try settings profile in the market.
Another great app is just "profile" by noimjosh, it is a fully configureable profile manager. It also has whitelist functions and the ability to seperate sms mms and notification volumes to different levels. It will also control GPS WIFI, music volume alarm volume .. the list goes on and on. I highly recommen checking it out. well worth it. Hope this helps.

I find that this is good for everything. That's probably why it costs $4. I have this one turn on my wifi when I get within 1/4 mi of my house. I also have it change my wallpaper so when I'm home it displays a hot naked girl and while at work it will display something other than that.

Hey Acid, settings profile looks really good. Lots of control, i am wondering if you agree on this though. I am on call sometimes from 330 am and want to keep everything silent except for a call from work. So i basically set up a "silent" profile, then created a rule so if i get a call from a specific work number the profile will change to another profile called "work".which has an audible ringtone of course. Thus i should be able to keep everything silent untill work calls then presto i can hear that call. Sound right to you?

THESE instructions look like they run pretty close to what you're describing. I'm pretty sure you can.
Yep, I should have checked that turorial first, thanks for the suggestion, I might have to make the switch over!
Have a good one
Hey by the way, if you have Juice Defender and Settings Profile running in tandem I've noticed they can conflict on the wifi side of things.
Ahh, noted thanks!
I can't find any setting but it's not long enough for a heavy sleeper, any help?

Select your own song (long duration) as an alarm sound.

Thats one idea. I really thought the s5 got touchwiz right but no ability to change alarm duration should be solved by now. Might just use a 3rd party app, cheers
Yes, it is enabled in Phone/Settings/Call alerts and Ringtones - Play Keypad Tones is checked.
Is the system volume turned up?
