Is there anyway to increase the max ringer and alarm volume. when u preview it , its really loud but when it actually uses it its so much quieter.... any solutions?
How do i increase alarm volume? I put my alarm on and clicked volume but it just goes to increasing the ringtone.
when you are selecting the alarm ringtone, you press the volume keys up or down depending how loud you want it
I guess the alarms are not loud enough, I never get up because of the alarms, way way later. I set 4-5 alarms and hear none of them.
What to do about this?
Is their any 'loud' Alarm tune that I can use maybe then it will work?
Setting the volume at max before going to bed will cause the alarm to start out louder, but it should always increase in volume until it reaches the phone's maximum.
Is the speaker muffled by anything (for example, lying on carpet) or is there anything between your head (in bed) and your phone?

I do set the volume to high still it feels low to me.
Phone lies on bed with speaker towards ceiling.
I guess some tones are also recorded low in volume, so I want some tones/mp3 files which are really loud and can wake me up
I have all the volumes turned up. When I select/set the alarm sound in Timely it's much louder than when the alarm actually goes off. Never saw this behavior on another phone.. Any ideas?
Timely has an increasing volume thing (alarm fade in), it also goes softer when you unlock the screen.
Nope. Not fading in. I tested it. Just too quiet.
Hi I was wondering if I was alone on this but ever since the new update, my alarm would not sound (but screen turns on) if the alarm is using either the Snooze or Dismiss 'Side keys behaviour'. The alarm does sound when the side keys behaviour is set to none though! I've tried both using mp3 files and the default ringtones.
Extra details:
I found that using default ringtones will make the alarm sound BUT for only half a second and never again.
Phone is not on silent mode and alarm volume is up.
Phone is up to date, tried restarting but no differences.
edit: I found that the alarm will not sound as long as the global volume slider for alarms is less than or equal to that of the volume slider on the individual set alarm! this is a weird occurrence
edit: scratch that
Thanks for reading!.
Hello there,
having same issues with alarm since 5.1.1 update. Last 4 days alarm worked fine for 2 days, did not work for other 2 days. Screen is lit up, but there is no sound.
Did not really check what causes it, but I have side keys behaviour on dismiss for sure.
Guess I'll try to increase the global volume slider and see what's up.
Thanks for the post!

I've had this problem since day 1 of upgrading to 5.1.1 from 4.4.4.
If I set the side keys action to "none" then everything works just fine, but as you mentioned, if set to dismiss or snooze, then the phone seems to automatically perform the action without me touching it. That's why we only hear the alarm for a split second. I was late to work two days in a row before I figured this out.
Though, what exactly do you mean by the global volume dictates whether or not the alarm will sound? I'm not sure I understood. I may need to try this.

You know when you press the side volume button that dropdown pops up at the top of the screen? If you click the button on the right of that dropdown, you get options to change the volume of Ringtone, Media, and Alarm volume; I called this the global volume. Then in our alarm edit there is a "Alarm volume" slider for each alarm. So I think I found that as long as the individual alarm volume is greater than that global alarm volume setting, the alarm will sound.
Could test this with a quick alarm one minute from now
I caught my bus late twice because of this I thought I was just getting used to my loud neighbour's 5 am parties.
I'm just glad I'm not the only one having this issue. I posted about it nearly 2 weeks ago and got no response. I did a full wipe before upgrading, then re-wiped again, then flashed the US firmware from two different members. Nothing solved the problem. Now I have to use the screen to snooze or cancel the alarm, which is harder to do when you're half-asleep.
The global volume slider thingie works... kind of...
if the global volume slider for alarms is higher than volume slider for specific alarm, it will sound even with side keys behaviour set to dismiss.
However, once the alarm sounds, it sets the global slider to the same level as is the alarm slider that just triggered. This means on the next day alarm won't sound, bcs global and specific alarm sliders are even (and even is not good enough, global just has to be higher).
Cheers

Geeze - that sucks. I can't believe only a hand-full of us have this problem. What's the deal and how can we fix it?
