I have a 2013 N7, stock rom, Glitch kernel... and a weird problem.
Occasionally, when my morning alarm is supposed to go off, it doesn't. The screen will turn on, the option to snooze or dismiss the alarm will show, but there is no sound.
The volume is all the way up, and if I start to play music or a video it will have sound... but the alarm will randomly be silent.
Has anyone ran into the issue before? Surely this wouldn't be a kernel issue, would it?
Any ideas?

alarm sound is a totally different slider than the media volume, so while you may be able to play music, the alarm sound can be off. go into setting and sound and click on volumes and let me know what you see. alarm volume should be towards the bottom (i think)

You were correct, Alarms volume is at the bottom. Alarms volume is turned all the way up.

The android clock and alarm when it goes off never stops. I used to have a wimo phone that would sound an alarm but stop alerting after a few minutes. Does anyone know of a clock/alarm app that works in a similar way?
has anyone found an alternative alarm that doesnt go off forever?
I use Alarm Klock, which is free in the market, and I like it a lot. Good snooze feature.

after the alarm goes off, for how long does the alarm keep ringing? I want something that will stop alarming after a few minutes.
It's a setting: 1, 5, 10, 30, or 60 minutes.
HTH!
I use Gentle Alarm which is a paid app. It's highly customizable, and if you like you can control down to the minute how long the alarm sounds.
Other than that I love how it fades in, so it gives me a chance to turn it off before blasting my brains with loud sound and night mode, muting notifications while you sleep but allowing calls to ring.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to try that one out, too. I used GAlarm when I had a WinMo phone, and I miss how customizable it was.

awesome! this is what i was looking for thanks.
Digital clock and digital clock widget has a pretty nice alarm clock with the snooze function. I've been using it for a little over a month and love it. They are both free in the market.

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.
Alright, so my issue is that I use my phone to play music at night, and as my alarm in the morning. Having the music low enough to be peaceful while sleeping means my alarm also goes off that peacefully. Using a really loud alarm sound isn't enough.
What I'd like to be able to do is somehow separate the two. Whether Bluetooth volume gets ignored completely (and instead having it use my separate media and alarm volumes), having Bluetooth volume be a master where it still also uses the other two, or anything else that lets my alarm volume be louder over Bluetooth than my media volume.
Has anybody seen any app or trick that can do anything like this? I wouldn't even care if the music plays over Bluetooth as normal and the alarm goes off at its proper volume right out of the phone, ignoring the Bluetooth. Just anything to get my heavy sleeping self up in the morning while enjoying my music throughout the night (I sleep quite poorly).
I need someone else that is on a 5.1 rom to turn their volume all the way down to the vibrate setting. Then set an alarm.
On 5.0 roms and below the alarm would play like normal. Nice and loud. Like a alarm should be. On the 5.1 roms the alarm sound, while the phone is set to vibrate, is extremely quiet. And I cannot find where to change this setting.
Happens on Insert Coin's 5.1 rom and Maximus's 5.1 rom.

Alarm volume is fine for me. On ICE 3.0.1. I used the volume down button to get to vibrate, used the settings button to check alarm volume (it was all the way up, so I didn't touch that slider), then set an alarm and waited. Volume seemed normal when the alarm went off.
Was this a stock alarm or a custom sound? Mine is a mp3 and it sounds normal outside of being set as an alarm.

Just a stock sound...foxglove. Volume escalates, but at the loudest it seems like its the same as it was on 5.0.1 roms and even back on my M8.
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
