hi,
I use the alarm on my phone everyday and while it works just as an alarm should, when it goes off in the morning and I want to turn it off I have to press the tiny little 'Dismiss' in the bottom corner (quite tough when you're only half awake and the dial button is ust below it) or menu, snooze etc etc
does anyone know if there is an alarm program that has two big buttons for off and snooze? (eg the same big red and green ones you get for answering or rejecting a call perhaps)
thanks
For my alarm i use the Klaxon alarm! Works great.. big "OFF" and "SNOOZE" button!
try G alarm!
Yes, G-Alarm is the best IMO.
try chronos

Hi,
Anyone quickly shut off their alarm to find it won't turn off? I've done it a few times now. If the alarm goes off and you quickly swipe down, the alarm continues to sound and the only way I've found to turn it off is to switch off the phone fully.
Yup had that too...
Very Annoying, having to apologize to the people around you for the constant alarm sounding during the reboot......
If anybody knows a fix ?
i had this problem too today, my suggested fix is to go into settings and enable the volume keys to also switch off the alarm, cant vouch for it as definitive as it happened to me for the first time today but its worth a try
Ever used your XP to replace your alarm clock? Has it been a good substitute? I'm thinking of doing that... I'm wondering if it will work better than the broken one I have now and the cheap one I bought from Walmart...
I use it all the time, it's loud and obnoxious. Just the thing you'll need to wake up in the morning haha. It's easy to set too, and you can have lots of different alarms set, it's a pretty sweet built in clock/alarm.
Yes. Yes. It is very very good as an alarm.
I use alarm clock plus, it's free and more obnoxious than STOCK

I use the Xperia Play as my default alarm clock and I use the ' Xperia ' ringtone for the alarm. Sounds so nice in the morning
I have the dock and it makes the XP the best Alarm Clock ever.
when it wakes me up I never now which button is snoose and which is disable - I wish they were bigger in size and coloured red and green to make it more visible
Combined with the dock, it's my current alarm clock. I use the " rise up" melody, because it's nice enough, and it's been fine so far.
I've used it before as an alarm. It was good. It woke me up anyway.

Yeah, I guess this should all make sense since you can hook it up with a speaker...
Yup use it everyday, I have the XP dock sitting beside my bed, threw out my old alarm clock.

So what if the sound is off (from the power button) to not wake people up because of notification sounds... will it still beep or make noise to wake you up?
I place my phone right next to my head and I wake up to Edith Piaf, Inception baby!
I use the default alarm clock that's in stock, I don't like the standard ringtone, hence why it's easy to wake up every morning

The alarm clock will still go off as loud as possible even with sound off, no need to worry. I keep my phone on vibrate at all times and it has never failed to play the alarm sounds and wake me up.
Always! Stock alarm clock with the Piezo Alarm as the sound with volume all the way up... Very ear piercing! Even if I snooze the alarm for about 40 minutes or until my mum yells at me to actually get up.
please note i have had some issues with the alarm not going off even though i set a test alarm and i didnt use a task killer.

That exact same thing has happened to me maybe once or twice. It would just say that my alarm is set for the next day, like it was skipped or something.
I bought the XperiaPlay dock since it was only cheap for this very purpose.
Sadly, didn't realise I couldn't use it with any kind of case.
So I have been unable to use the dock.
Wow, this is some coincidence. I was just about to post and saw this topic.
Just got my dock. Only problem is, the phone doesn't go into the alarm clock mode as shown in the pictures. I guess it's because of some bloatware i removed. can someone please tell me what app is required for the dock-clock mode?
Also, like some people are using it, I would also be keeping it on a small side-table next to my bed, with both cables unplugged. Since the phone is plugged into the earphone jack on the dock, wouldn't that disable the phone speakers and therefore no alarm sound?
For some reason my snooze isn't working. I have it set to a 5 minute interval with 3 repeats. When the alarm is going off, I swipe up to snooze to make sure I don't accidentally cancel the alarm but the snooze alarm never goes off again. I have tried testing just now and when I snooze I see the "Zzzz" next to my alarm, but when the 5 minutes elapse, the alarm does not go off and the "Zzzz" is gone. I am on stock but rooted. Anyone else having this issue and know how to fix it?

Snooze has never worked for me, even pure stock. I've heard of it not working for someone else too.

Try a different app like alarm clock plus. You don't need snooze you should be up at the first alarm lol :silly:
Ok I thought it was just me lol this happens to me also. But ill be half asleep to realize it lol This is why I also set my home alarm clock. If it wasnt for that id be late for work lol
Snooze works great for me. Try swiping in towards the center of the screen instead of up. Maybe that will help. I use mine every morning with no issues.

I can't seem to find it . I went to alarms and the 3 periods settings does not show it. Under Timer settings I see alarm volume but that is only for timers. I lowered the sound profiles and it still blares in the morning.
Under Sounds and Notification it seems to be only for app notification settings. I"m using Tmobile H811 phone.
You change it when you are setting the time of your alarm. It could be clearer.

Its under alarm.. Go to the bottom of the edit alarm screen.. You can set different volumes per each alarm instead of one for all..

OK thaks. When I view the screen I see the days of the week and it didn't look like there were options underneath it and the cancel save threw me off thinking it was the bottom of the screen. I do notice it takes a few tries of swiping up to see the options. Thanks again. My wife was driving me nuts since it was full blast at 5:30 in the morning. Thanks again.
