I'm looking for an alarm clock app because captivate's stock one fails at waking me up. Either it isn't loud enough or it doesn't rings long enough before automatically going to snooze. Every suggestion will be apreciated.

Try alarm Solo. It is the one I use
I've been using Alarm Klock for a while. It's not super pretty, but it gets the job done.
gentle alarm for me, its paid but well worth the money, you can use full length songs, fade in, control volume and how fast it fades in, and it has a night display so it looks like a real alarm clock at night, in which you can edit with different fonts colors and size of font...
Thanks for the input guys. I'll try and see what works better for me.

That's what I use. Those math problems can be a doozy in the am sometimes, tho.
good morning alarm
Is the one I preference. Fully customized. Also greets u. Time and weather conditions. U can also pick a directory to shuffle your alarms so u never get acustom to the same tone.
Check out Nightstand Bold. Also, try the Luminescence alarm tone. I don't think it ever ends. I'm horrible to wake up and that wakes me up every time because it doesn't stop.

Same here.

I was looking for something along the same lines for my girlfriends cappy... and ran into AlarmDroid. Seems to do the job well enough though I haven't dug into the full features available... and it's free
I had no idea that us Captivate owners were such a sleepy lot.
It must be from countless hours spent awake late at night flashing new ROM's and kernels. Damn you XDA!
On a more serious note, I almost lost my job today because the piece of crap stock alarm failed me once again, which is how I ended up in this thread.
I'll be using these alarm clocks that have been suggested and hopefully one does the trick for me as well.
Thanks for the referrals.

Gentle alarm is the shiz. Fade in alarms are so good compared to the conventional immediate loud buzzing alarms. Tons of options too

Hi, wondering if anyone here has any ideas how to achieve this in a workable fashion.
I have tested this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nick.freeringinghelper but it does not pick up the first ring or alarm or work smoothly/acceptably.
This is unfortunate as the options are the way I like. I use llama to set max volumes.
The dream is an exposed module to do this, as the app has the right options.
I have tried a few other ring modification apps and they all seem to miss the first ring and then increase in a clunky way.
Thoughts?

just in case someone is interested, I figured out how to achieve this result without apps or mods. I took my favorite ring tone and alarm tone, looped the then to over 30 seconds, and modified the first 10 seconds to fade in from silent.
Works great, and so simple.

Hi there,
I have a Lumia 735, which is great, but I miss a feature:
A slowly increasing volume for the alarm.
Would it be possible to extract the predefined alarm tones and edit these (fade in effect)?
Has someone done this already?
Has anyone noticed in WP10 the same behaviour, or is there an improvement?
The built-in Alarms app already gradually increases volume, or at least it's supposed to. I haven't checked WP10 but I wouldn't expect that to have changed.
In my case this is not working. The alarm is not rising. It starts loud, and stays on this level.
Maybe I should try a different alarmtone (using "Spieluhr" in german, maybe called "musical clock" or "musical box" in english).
There are some alarm apps in store, which have lots of features, fading volume included. Personally, my favourite is Gentle Alarm Clock Lite, just search it and try.
For those of us with the unlocked Note 9, and have noticed that there is no option to turn off camera shutter sound, there is an easy way. Using Good Lock 2018 with the Routines plugin you can set the camera app to launch with system sound at 0. That super loud clack sound had to go. I believe you can also use the Sound Assistant to set individual app sound levels which would permanently set camera to system sound 0 also. Just an FYI.

This is a great idea! How do you automatically change the volume setting back to how it was or on once done with the camera app?

If you use the Routines plugin in Good Lock 2018 it will switch to no system volume then immediately back. It's critical that you use either Routines or some other automated system because the alarm won't sound. In Routines click the +, name your routine, click add condition, choose Launch an Application, then click the underline, choose Camera, then click Add Action, choose Sound Mode, then click the underline, then you can choose volume levels for all sound types(Media, Notification, System, and Ringtone. System is the one you set to 0. Then save and it will switch to 0 then back every time you use the camera.

And why would you want to do this: making a picture without the "clicking"-sound?
Upskirt and stalker pictures with ninja stealth. Joking aside, it is annoying. It is like skeuomorphistic design but with sound. I can understand the legality I some countries but at least let us change the sound.
You can simply change your volume settings to mute or vibrate, that disables the camera sound temporarily if needed. Just use your volume rocker or select mute/vibrate in your quick toggles.

I did this and my issue is once you exit the app, the Ringtone volume does not revert to previous setting (full volume).
I put together a little app that mutes the camera sounds for my own use if you want to give it a try? Basically, all it does is, when you launch the camera the system sound drops to 0, then when you exit the camera it goes back up to what it was originally set to, much the same as previously mentioned.
Download, install, go to your app drawer and look for Camera muted, click on it once (nothing will launch), this will set your system volume to 0, reset your system volume to what you want. From now on everytime you launch the camera it should automatically do what I mentioned at the beginning.

On a side note, if you want the camera sounds back, just uninstall the app.
padlad, I've tried to check your app, but it doesn't start at all. Also I get no error messages whatsoever. Are you still working on the app? The phone is from a local carrier.
Edit: Also on the "Why in the 1st place? - As a long term DSLR user, this sound is just offensive to the community. They should've thought/asked better prior mimicking it this way.

Try this one, same as above but when you 'click' the app a flash message will pop up. No need to reset your system volume manually. Install, 'click' or 'open' camera mute (you should only need to do it once), then open the stock camera and it should be silent when you use it, If shutter sounds are still present, close the camera app and reopen it, the shutter sounds should now be silent. Good luck :good:

Depends on your location and local laws
in UK you can't disable sound via settings

Yes, unlocked on Sprint
Thank you but.... the pop-up says says sounds should be disabled, yet the camera app works and sounds as before. Should I reboot after the install?
And I haven't had updates in around a week, but I doubt it that they will remove the sounds from Samsung for the EU. It's about laws, not user preference.
Is your app SoC related? Because mine runs the Exynos.
For now the only good option is to lover or mute the System sounds from the settings menu.

Try opening the camera app again and trying. I've noticed when first installed, and enabled, the camera app still makes the shutter sounds, but when you exit the camera app and then launch it again the shutter sounds are silent (that's for the updated app I posted) .
Yep, still not working. Not after restarting, not after closing and opening app.
If you use Automagic, then this flow seems to work:

If you turn System Volume down, it also disables the shutter sound, and it doesn't effect alarms or ringtones.
