Alarms are not making a noise!! - Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers

My missus XZ2 whenever the alarm seems to go off it does not make a noise. It's set up at night to do not disturb priority alarms only but still doesnt work. Anyone else got this issue as it's a big one.

Is your alarm sound system setting at 0%?

Checked that it's not that. It like over night when it's gone into deep sleep or something.

Weird, use the xperia Assistent task to get silence at night.
Maybe you want to use these?

Sorry mate what's that? I'll have a look on the phone later

Alarm problems...

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

No vibration in Whatsapp when sound is on.

My phone does not vibrate when I receive a whatsapp message.
Vibrating function is tested and it is working, so no hardware defect. Also I turned on vibrate in whatsapp notifications.
If I put my phone to silent, Whatsapp does vibrate... Very strange, I always had it working on my Xperia S.
Anyone else with this problem?
I actually need what happens to you ! I use sound only to save battery and it vibrates anyway
So far I noticed that this happens if vibrate is set to default
try using short/long vibrate in whatsapp settings
if I set to short ,which I prefer than my Default's, I get sound and vibration
Go to whatsapp settings and put vibrate to long.

Solution works perfectly on my nexus 5 !
My friend's phone had a similar issue where his phone only vibrate without sound. by changing the vibration from default to short or long, the issue is solved !
Tnx !

Weird vibration?

I've noticed that my texts I get 2 short vibrates however for other notifications like Facebook, I get a long vibrate. Shouldn't it be the other way around? You can never even feel a text vibrate go off... I know on my note 2 and s3 it wasn't like this.
Also, even though I have vibrate turned off in most apps when they show a notification they still vibrate. What's with that? I had the same problem with the s4 when I first got it.

I've gotten the 2 short vibrates on texts for the S3, S4, and now Note 3. However, I am not sure about Facebook as I do not use that app. If you go to Settings > Device > Sound, you can change the vibration intensity for calls, notifications, and haptic feedback.

Thanks but it's not the intensity that I'm talking about. The vibration pattern just seems backwards or weird to me coming from the note 2. Basically every app gives a long vibrate except for texts which is kinda backwards.

Am I the only one who is having this issue? I don't think it's normal to receive a vibration every time I get a notification even if I have it turned off in the app settings.

Do you have your phone muted, but with vibration enabled? I've seen unexpected vibrations on my phone in that case - I think it may just replace any noise with vibration.

Flip to Slience only while ringing?

I know i can make the flip to silence but can I have it only work when a call is coming in??>

Add a State context to your flip profile and go to Phone --> Call.

tasker cuts the sound off but continues to vibrate.
Yes, i tried to prevent this too, but unfortunately couldn't. I end up disabling vibration on ringing(which I dont really need).

Gravity box solved this problem for me. It has a feature to either dismiss a call or silence the ringer. Works very well. Never made tasker work and I need the vibration [emoji6]

Very high volume

Hi! I have a problem with my p9, I set the volume ringtone to lowest level but the ringtone is very high when I get a call. No matter what level I set for ringtone, when I receive a call the ringtone is very very loud! Any advice?
Thank you!

Disable pocket mode in dialer settings! [emoji12]
Enviado do meu EVA-L09 através de Tapatalk
Already disabled, but still problematic high volume
Install the app: Disable increasing ringtone from android market.
You must also go to battery settings and allow the app the app to be on when the screen is off.
The fault is that the phone increases the ring volume very fast. Annoying but this app fixed it.
easy

I have the same issue and found out that Huawei messed up loudness settings for ring tone. If I set it to highest value it rings quiet and it's loud if I set it to low volume.
Try it out to see if you have the same result.

Rebooting the phone solved the issue. Now everything is ok.
