[APP] Shush - automatically restore sounds

So I just overslept because my alarm didn't sound because my gingerbread phone was on silent mode and eh06 has a bug that keeps alarms from playing in silent mode. Then I remembered this app which comes on whenever you put your phone volume to silent and asks you how long. Its called Shush on the market. Handy workaround for the no alarm in silent bug by automatically restoring your ring for you.
Hope this helps someone not oversleeping like I just did!

Personally I'd consider no alarm in silent mode to be intentional. Silent is supposed to stay silent.
As for what you're trying to do, I'd recommend using Tasker. You can do pretty much anything you'd want to automate your phone for, with just one running process in the background. For this, you could just set a simple timer that resets your volume every night at 5am before the alarm goes off. Or you could replace the stock alarm entirely.

Well its not the behavior of the alarm in ec05 it is only in the leaks of gingerbread and even in the leaks if you eneable the smart alarm feature which plays relaxing sounds before the alarm those sounds play bit the alarm does not.

Ever Use XP as an Alarm Clock?

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?

Alarm clock doesn't go off when in Flight Mode

So I overslept today - no alarm. And it turned out that my new ONE X doesn't want to sound the alarm, when it is in flight (airplane) mode. This is the case not only with the stock alarm, but also with a couple of other alarm apps I've tried.
I prefer to go flight mode during the night, to make sure there are no random messages through any medium whatsoever. The option "also in silent mode" is ticked on, if this is of any consequence.
Is there anything one can do?

Also, alarm in the silent mode (even if the corresponding option is checked) doesn't produce sounds, only vibration. This is lame.
Yeah, and bump for the op.

Noone is bothered by that or noone else has that problem?

I use the HTC Dock App as my alarm clock, that works fine
Si

this is it

just put mine in silent and set a test alarm, worked fine with sound - you sure your alarm volume is turned up?

Alarm Snooze Not Working

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 use Sleep as Android and it'll do exactly what you're looking for - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&hl=en
I've got mine set up to just buzz my watch first, then a failsafe that goes off on my watch and phone.

Ooooo looks brilliant!!! Do all the other features like sleep tracking etc drain the battery much then?

It used to drain your battery totally, but dev recently got it working excellent instead.
Now our sw3 is one of the most battery efficient watch
To run the app on, battery "drains" around 17% over night, which is great since it various sensors are being used.
Regarding vibration on the watch in general: I think it's as easy as, if an app generates vibration alerts on your phone, it'll generate these on the watch too.

Ooooo brilliant! Thanks for the info I'll give it a shot over the weekend then when I've had time to mess with all the settings, annoying though as I like using timely and would really just like it to vibrate my watch...

I just got the SW3 yesterday. I'm trying to get my alarms to sync, found this an tried Sleep as Android. However, it seems no matter what settings I use, my watch only buzzes once very briefly for the alarm while it goes off as normal on my phone. As if just a notification that an alarm is going off. Is this just how it works? Any ideas?
I followed the "instruction" chapter on wearables to enable Smartwatch in the app and enabled the vibration (Smartwatch) from start option, but I can't find any other real set up options or instructions.

I made two alarms - One with the phone vibrating / making noise, and the watch vibrating, then one set ~5 min before that, set to silent, and disabled vibration (so the phone does nothing), and set the Vibrate (Smartwatch) to "From start" as well.
When the first alarm goes off, mine buzzes once briefly at the time of the alarm, and then once again maybe 30 seconds later, then it starts getting more frequent after that. When I just went to check what my settings were, I also noticed there's an option to start the watch vibration "before" the alarm - though I'm not sure how much before the alarm "before" is, since it doesn't seem to be configurable, but that may alleviate my use of two alarms.
Hope that helps!

Official Clock app from Google
now u can install on any android and the alarm appear on smartwatch , to dismiss or postpone
