Is there any way I can have an alarm that wakes me up, but not the rest of the household up?
Thanks

Set the volume of the alarm lower ? Settings>Sound>Volume
Turn your alarm volume down?
Yeah, but then I fear it wouldn't wake ME up lol

Set to vibrate only and put it under your pillow

Do you think that would work? Might try it actually, what about using headphones? Lol

Hearing something vibrate under your pillow will surely freak the hell out of you, so you should be ok.
Wouldn't recommend headphones, fell asleep once with them in, hurt like hell taking them out in the morning. Was like they fused into my ear!

I've accidentally left my phone on all the way across the room. Got a text, it vibrated, and it startled me awake. I guess that's probably because I'm a light sleeper though
Thanks

Set it to vibrate, put it down the front of the PJs and you'll get a happy ending wakeup in the morning!

the solution is quite easy:
get another alarm app (e.g. alram clock extreme -> free on getjar)
And use the increasing volume function.
Meaning: your devices alarm will start at low volume and will get louder the longer u ignore it.
So u can quickly disable it if u are awake already (and keeping your household asleep) and still be sure that it will wake u when it comes to full volume late (oh here all are awkae again).
But imho the best solution and also sparing your nerves a bit since you dont get harrassed out of sleep at full volume

How do I disable the vibrating alert for alarms? 7am every day I wish I could be woken by the sedate tones of my preferred alarm sound, yet instead it sounds like someone has trapped an electric toothbrush in a biscuit tin.
Stock Froyo, btw.
That's exactly how I felt about the alarm vibrator. And it's easy to miss where you can disable it. Go back to editing the alarm and scroll the screen all the way down, you'll see it at the bottom.

This morning was much more pleasant! I'd buy you a beer, but you're probably not local to me
Edit: Australia! Can't get much further away

Thanks ! I am looking for way to disable the vibrate of the alarm too
+1 thanks to the answer here from me too! (and thanks to the new suggested topics but before posting!)
So basically my Incredible only vibrates when it wants to. The keys vibrate from time to time when pressed, i havent noticed calls though right now is just the keys and i use the default keyboard.
Anyone experiencing this?

Just to cover the bases.....
When you go to Menu> Settings> Sound Settings, you have all the Vibrate options selected properly?
Yeah i do

Mine does it sometimes to. It just gives the inc character lol. From what I can remember it's done it on every rom except sky raider and stock lol.

How old is your Inc? Mine is about 7 months old now and I am running into some issues every now and then where the vibration just feels dead. It also makes a weird clicking sound when it boots up. It may be a ROM that you are using or your vibe motor is just kicking the bucket.
I really dont know i bought it off ebay with a bad esn. But it was perect mint condition with the box manuals and evrything... Im running the Incredirom 2.2 and in fact the vibration does stop working because i often press the volume down button to put it into vibration mode and it does not vibrate when i put it in vibration mode. U know how is suppose to vibrate when u set it in vibration mode, it sometimes does not vibrate.

It's stable and has some Cm features, it's pretty good.

If you're not opposed to upgrading, I recommend Pure Speed V7. It's a port from the evo shift also its 2.3.3. Your incredible's memory will decrease a little but it is solid and I have no issues with it on mine. But if your vibration still doesnt work, you have a busted motor.
Mine does this also. I have no idea why. I usually have haptic feedback off but when I do have it on it fades out every now and then.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
I read a while back that your haptic feedback motor can basically be overloaded by heavy activity, and that giving your phone a firm shake when it's being unresponsive will correct the problem. it's always worked for me.
Didnt like Sky Raider, drastically slowed down my phone. Returned to stock 2.2. And yeah i think my motor is busted.
Lol and i tried shaking it and it works but i will look like an idiot shaking my phone every 5 minutes on the train or bus.

Just wanted to say, my Vibration has been REVIVED!! Ever since I flashed Cyanogenmod 7 Nightly #150 I believe.
Can you turn off the sound? It wakes me up.
Turn the phone off before you go to sleep. Will give it a better charge anyway.

Agreed... Would love to disable this!
There's an app called Battery Charged Silencer in the market. I've never tried it but it looks promising.
You can eliminate it via Tasker:

One of numerous things you can do with Tasker.
Looking for an app that would dim and lock my phone when I put it in my pocket; blackberry style. It sounds a bit ridiculous, but having to hit the power button after every call to make sure it locks out is getting a bit tedious... Any suggestions.

There's a few... proximity sensor off is like that.. a few others too. Search proximity sensor in the market and you'll see some.

That will work! Of course if you use your phone for ANYTHING besides simply making a call it'll get old real quick. Seriously though, I found a dozen different apps that are power button replacements and proximity sensor offs... there's also a lot of different Widgets that put a "screen off" button on your screen so you don't have to reach for the power button every time. I use a power off widget on my bigger phones to make it quicker to kill the screen... wow, I just realized how sad and spoiled we are! Do you guys remember Windows 98???

Thanks to everyone who responded, you've all been a great help. Now as far as proximity sensor apps go, are there any that stand out as being the best?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
just try them, no one is going to hand feed you.
LOL
@ hand feed!
You can also check out screen off and lock. That's what I'm currently using, once you set it up you can just place a widget on your home screen, tap the icon and "done", you can also add a touch of old tv style to it
Since there isn't an LED light specifically for notifications, is there a way to make the LEDs for menu, home, back, and search light up for said notifications? It would be even better if each one lit up for specific apps so I could know why it's lighting up before I even turn on the screen.
Thanks for any help!
My suggestion would be NoLED.

The closest we can get to LED notifications is BLN. You need to use a BLN compatible kernel and use the app BLN Control.

I'm trying to tweak some things on system tuner and my phone rebooted (but took a bit to turn on) my blood pressure dropped, I thought I killed my phone!
But after some reading.. it pretty much means the phone does not like those settings, change them.. right? Phone works fine now though, but I was wondering for future reference

Yeah, basically. If you are undervolting, you need to take tiny increments to make sure the phone is stable before going any further.
