Hey guys,
I've tried searching about everywhere, and it almost seems like im an isolated incident, but...
Im currently running WM6.1 on my vario 3. I've set my alarm to go off each night, sounding the typical alarm. I've got the "enable sounds for Notifications (Alarms, reminders)" bit ticked. However, i put my fone on silent before i go to bed (because i get random emails and txts thru the night which wake me up ). Because of this, the fone doesnt reactivate the sounds for the alarm... so all i get is a little notification come up sayin that the alarm is going.
As you can imagin, having a notification pop up isnt going to wake you up...
Is there any way that i can have my fone on silent, and yet have the alarm sound in the morning? I dont particularly want to run any other clock app, as with the built in one, its running all the time and its set for monday-friday.
Is this even possible? or do i have to get another app?
thanks guys!
Sure it's called AIRPLANE mode. Just turn the phone part off and crank that volume up.
yea, that would work too...
but im curious as to whether there is any way of doing this without having to turn the phone function off...
back on my SE k800, the alarm would still do its thing even in silent mode... and if the fone was off
You have to use a third party app.
go to sounds and notifications in the settings area. then turn off the recieve new emails notification. This is what I do since I receive junk emails late at nite too.

but then, wouldnt you have to reenable these again in the morning? otherwise, u wont be notified of when you get important/real mails?
Thinking out loud here - Couldnt you have a meeting mode or some other mode where you set all the other notifications to silent but leave the alarm loud and when you go to bed put it in that mode?
I will admit I am just tlaking off the top of my head and have not actually tried it. Just a suggestions?

I use PhoneWeaver with scheduled profiles. So at 11:30pm the phone goes silent in the Night profile, and at 5:30am the phone switches back to Day. I have a 5:45am alarm set to go off in the alarms.
You can do the same with PhoneAlarm ... or PhoneAlarm Lite.

PhoneAlarm definitely has more options and configurations, but I've found PhoneWeaver to be simpler, more reliable and it covers the features I use.
There are some free solutions for profile switching out there too, if I can find them I will repost.

ya. this this where it really sucks. I don't know why wm6 don't have diferent ring profiles.
if anyone knows of any free solutions or programs, please let us know.
Sorry if this is a hijack - i've never used the feature, but what does the icon on HTC Home's phone announcement mode with the clock do? There's Loudspeaker Ring On, Silent, Vibrate Only, and then another option that I haven't yet figured out the purpose of.

i would like to know too. i thought this was the other profile but seems to be the same as the ring on. Anyone have the answer?
i thought they were just like "profiles"... like how when u click on the sound icon in the taskbar, uve got the dropdown menu with the 2 volume levels, with the 3 options underneath it...
those alarm clocks sound good, possibly the best option so far...
but im still holding onto the dream that there is some way of actually using the alarm like you would do with a normal fone... hopefully the xperia would still have SE functionality
is there any way for the alarms to repeat every min till i snooze it ?? also itd be great to set a loud mp3 as an alarm.
any good third party alarm ??? other than phone alarm ??
i find phone alarm very confusing and buggy.
@billgatessucks and corleno
Try enAlarmPPC. You can use MP3 as alarm sound, vibrate, random, snooze, and choose to override system sound settings. You can completely turn off all your sound, and enAlarmPPC will still give you sound!
[EDIT] Added some screenshots; BTW only $8.00 at Handango

thanks a bunch johanromijn
ill try it out now
does this app run all the time in the background? or do u need to open it up like u would with any program etc?
so i can either put my fone on silent, and then remember to open up an app... or... i just put the fone into flight mode? :S
Hello,
on all ROMs I tried, the alarm is not repeating its sound. I'm using TLR's rom (1.37). My friend uses 1.35 Rom and not working there either: better, when selected 'repeat sound' it is not playing at all.
Someone has a workaround, coz this thing is not waking me up at morning
I am having the same problem. First alarm is ok with the predefined alarm tone but the second or repeat alarm is click sound. Hardly hear it unless u already wake up.
yes, seems like it repeats before the alarm is finished, so instantly starts repaiting.
use pTravelAlarm all the while....never fail me....
Fizz alarm's interface is nice, but does not really work as good as above....failed to wake diamond and me up several time...
Hi,
Is there a good profile application for the Diamond? I mean like the one SPB had with timed setup for muting the phone between given periods, turning off the bluetooth and Wifi at night...etc?
Usually the problem comes when I go to sleep and I don't want the emails and SMSs and calls to wake me BUT I still want to wake up to the alarm and NO I don't want to buy a normal alarm clock which will do the same
Any thoughts?

Try out Phoneweaver from www.sbsh.net. Simply great.
I have this strange problem for quite a while already. When my alarm fires, there is no alarm sound at all (only vibrate). Sometimes it will work again after a soft-reset, but it will cease to work later on. I have make sure it's not in silent mode, and I have selected a sound file already.
BTW, I'm using Dutty's V4 rom
To be honest, I suggest you use G-Alarm. Google it. Its very good and reliable

Thanks for the pointer. However, I did that everytime and I still didn't get any alarm sound. The sound is working when I "select" it from the drop down, but when the actual alarm fires, there is only vibration.
I'm also getting an unreliable alarm. Mostly it doesn't sound, just vibrates, but I'll have to figure out when it works and when it doesn't.
Is anyone else experiencing these bugs?
This usually happens after an alarm has went off or if i have not noticed that one has been going off.
* The bottom speaker just turns off, no sound is received. So i'll get a phone call and i answer but no one can hear me, reboot fixes the issue but wtf.
* just 10 min ago the alarm went off to remind me of something and i hit dismiss and the phone went back to the main tiles. I tried to lock the phone and it didn't do anything. I hit the back button and nothing happened, i then try to navigate and the screen is frozen. Live tiles are still moving but no input is read. The power button doesn't work as well, i had to pull the battery.
Anyone have these problems?
I have the same issue about the alarm. I have multiple alarm setup and then if one of them alarms go off and i didn't turn it off the screen just froze, there is no input from the touchscreen but the tiles are working. I guess it is a bug in the programming that disables the touchscreen if the alarm that goes off wasn't turn off.
Hopefully this is fixed with the rumored update on thursday.
Alarm Bug
+1 with the alarm bug. Hope the software update fixes the poor sound level as well, as a working alarm would be nice but a working alarm that i can hear is much better
+1
Same problem
I use Nokia X2 for alarm clock
Alarm Problems
I use an app called Nightstand clock from the Marketplace. The sound of the alarm tones is much louder than wp7 alarm tones. Give it a try it hasn't let me down yet & more importantly has never froze. It can even run under the lockscreen. It hasn't affected the sound on my HD7 either.
Well i have the same problem and for now i download alarm clock 7 and only works if the phone its not lock cause in lock status the alarm does not sound.
I also have this problem
alarm goes off, and if i don't hit dismiss and let it run, the mic gets turned off
grrr
+1, i am also having the same issue
+1, i am also having the same issue. :laugh:
I have HTC HD7
