Alarms only vibrate once.

I use the vibrate function of clock alarms to wake me up. Unfortunately for some reason my P3300 seems to only vibrate once for ~1 second. Is there any way to make the alarm continuously pulse or continuously vibrate?

[Q] Alarm not sounding

My alarm has stopped ringing for some reason. It will still vibrate, though. If I turn off vibrate, the phone will light up and the touchpad will flash, but no sound comes out.
I've read in other threads you're supposed to set the alarm sound, wait for the music to play, and then set the volume there. I've done this, turned "Media volume" all the way up. The alarm still doesn't ring. Ringer volume is all the way up. I've even waited for the (silent) alarm to go off, and then tried to increase the volume. Pressing the volume keys while the alarm is going off just hits snooze. Any ideas, people?

Have you checked that the alarm volume is up? Go to Menu>Settings from where you enter your alarms and double check

What ROM and have you installed any notification apps that may have disabled your notifications?

are you using the stock alarm clock or another app?

Well, I "solved" the problem by downloading a replacement application from the Market. I forgot that even though it's a system application, the alarm is just another application. If it doesn't want to work, then screw it. The new alarm has a configurable snooze, as well, which the stock alarm clock lacked.

[Q] Dose anyone else have an alarm problem

I bought the Galaxy note 8.0 in NZ a few weeks ago. Everything is all right except the alarm doesn't have the sound. Can anyone help me please...
ps. i do turn on all the volume to the max but still no sound.

My alarm works fine, just to check, are u aware alarms have a volume slider too?
Follow the below list and you should be fine i guess;
1] Open Alarm (app)
2] click a existing alarm (or make one)
3] 'Alarm type' should prolly be (or mention) Melody
4] Max out the volume slider below (labeled with a speaker) does it make lots of noise?
5] If no, try change the 'Alarm tone' to something that does.
If you do get sound from it when doing the above, at least alarms & the speakers work, did you;
1] Select days for the alarm to ring on? (grey buttons ontop of alarm settings, select em)
2] Set the alarm to repeat weekly? (checkbox below days, prolly want it selected)
3] Did you maybe enable 'smart alarm' (making it appear like alarms make no sound, though it ramps up)
4] Set the alarm? (in the overview of alarms, an alarm is set if the clock icon is green)
If you dont get sound going trough the first list, check these;
1] In the statusbar dropdown menu, make sure the Sound button is highlighted in green
2] In Settings -> Sound, open the Volume popup and check that all 3 have some volume to them
That should pretty much get your alarms playing, theres not much else volume or alarm related i can explain hope it helps.

First thanks a lot.
But i do have the sound come out when i slide to the max volume. I think the alarm can get be setted because when the time up i can see the screen has been turned on and get that annoying alarm shaking. But still no sound..:crying::crying:

Hmm, very weird, if your sure its not the 'smart alarm' checkbox, contacting Samsung would be best;

Call ring and alarm problem

Sometimes when i go to sleep i let the phone to general profile with the ringer volume maximum, but in morning i don't hear when someone calls me and the alarm ringing, like the phone is on silent mode. The clock says alarm was silenced. Someone can help me? Stock Rom, no root and fireos 4.6.6.1

Facing same problem. My phone's alarm does not ring most of the time. Here is the workaround for alarm:
I am using this app for setting up alarm: Simple Alarm Clock Free(cant post link)
As far as phone call ring is concerned, I don't know about it because I'm not using SIM Card in my phone.

Alarm silent when ringtone is.

I set the ringtone to vibrate or silent so as not to be woken while asleep. Unfortunately my alarm is also silent. The volume for the alarm is set to almost max. I even tried through bixby as it has an independant volume but same result.
I have had HTC and Huawei and they have separate alarm clock volume.
Is there a secret?

Go to alarm then hit the three dots and turn off vibrate for alarms. Same thing happened to me. Was late for work first day with phone.

Thats exactly what I was looking for. I'm getting old and I'm missing such simple things.
Thank you
