I am a pretty hard sleeper and the alarm clock on the phone just isnt loud enough. I was wondering if there is anyway to port it through the headphone jack where I can plug in a set of computer speakers and make it louder. If only I was a light sleeper. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Go to walmart and get an rca alarm clock..
Also please post in correct sub forum

I have posted it before in Q&A and got very little response so I thought I would try the development section because that seems like the more suitable sub forum cause this just isnt as simple as going into settings to do this so I was looking for help from someone on the development side who knows about it more. But looks like you cant get a question read in that part cause it is moved within no time.
Mark the"ring and vibrate " option and put it on a metal box.
Have you tried to plug speakers into the phone while the alarm is going off? I don't see why that wouldn't work.
Also, you might want to see a doctor about your sleep problems. I have a sleeping disorder myself and I'm a heavy snorer, but I can still hear my phone alarm even when it's at the lowest volume. A friend of mine has sleep apnea and he stops breathing several times throughout the night. That doesn't really have anything to do with your issue necessarily, i'm just saying that sleeping disorders can be serious. I'd encourage you to talk to your doctor and possibly take a sleep study.

Well there is a purpose to why there are subforums for each section.
As for your question, do you always have it on full volume? My recommendation is just to get a loud alarm clock. My friends got me this old fashioned alarm clock and it does the trick. Scares the **** out of me every time.
I also use Gentle Alarm (if that's something you might be interested in). It can play at full volume for a long time if you want. I have it set to 40 minutes just in case. I also have a very annoying ringtone/alarm for all my alarms so that I actually do wake up.
I have had it plugged in and nothing came out the speakers when the alarm went off. And your right about needing to go to the doctor. A few people in my family have sleep apnea.

I have tried a regular alarm clock. My alarm click now is a modified monster. I have it wired in to two sets of computer speakers and I still sleep through it. The sound is to repetitive. Thats why my phone is ideal cause the different annoying tones.

When I set a custom ringtone, the first 1-2 seconds of the song fade in.
If your ringtone has a bit of silence as it starts then you won't notice it.
The fading is not present in the settings menu, but only when a call comes in.
Please test and let me know.
Thank you
I have the same question too
Still got the "problem", to my luck though... used in ears with too high ringer volume and took the call fast enough ^^
You cannot technically call this a problem. It is done intentionally by samsung. What I am wondering is why it isn't configurable like it was in previous samsung phones i owned (like the TouchWiz F480)
For those who do not know, the fading is added so that the ringtone doesn't blast your ears deaf if a call comes in right after you finished your last one (unless if you are using a headset, the phone will be right next to your ear at that moment).
well the feature is crap. It should have option whether we want this feature or not instead of forcing us on it.
Thank you

Thank you Samsung for avoiding staining my shirt with brain fragments... my dog is also very thankful!
samsung should provide setting to turn on/off this ascending ringtone.
Perhaps they should provide the option.. but I personally think this "feature" is good. Especially since I got tinnitus, and hence take all precautions to protect my hearing from future damage.
any solutions ?
i have the same issue on my galaxy s
While some people think its a good "feature", others do not. I'd rather have this feature disabled like most people out there, so we can have those extra 2 seconds to hear the phone ringing from our pockets.
... Its not like you're holding the phone to your ear ALL the time!! Even when you're not doing anything. Cause if you are, then you have a problem!!
While rooting allows us to remove bloatware and get better backups, there are couple of other annoying things on the phone that might be fixable.
My first one is audio notification when you plug it into a computer. I know I plugged it in, I don't need to be told. The best that seem possible on a non-rooted phone is setting the default notification to something easily ignored, then resetting every other notification to something else individually.
Stupid Alarm Icon on Status Bar
how about a mod to get rid of the stupid Alarm Set notification Icon on the task bar. I had the phone forever before I finally figured out what it was. I do like the Motorola Alarm and Time app with the ringer that gets louder over time but hate the icon sitting there all the time cluttering up the bar.
i'm sure give it a few weeks and we'll start seeing some ROMs

That's overkill on the order of using a saturn V for signal flare.
Especially given that the 3rd-party ROMs I've used (mostly cyanogen based) had bugs that the stock builds - including this one - don't.
Is there a mod to boost the phones ringer volume? My D1 was super loud, and capable of waking me up for work, but my D3 is so quiet, I sometimes don't hear it ringing.

I'm curious about this as well. My previous android phone could double for a PA speaker but the D3 is a bit on the quiet side. The rom I had installed on my moment easily doubled the ringer volume...

I got an HTC One a month ago or so and I love it but an issue is really pissing me off, the music auto normalizes when the music is loud(Lowers the volume by about 30%). This is app independent and it's not done by the beats customization(I have that off). There has to be a way to stop this from happening. If there were an option to keep the volume normalized at all times I would do that, what bothers me is that in the best parts of the songs I like the volume goes down and I hate that inconsistency.

I've never heard this issue on my phone, but I only use spotify. Is this via the HTC Music app? If so maybe rename the htcmusicenhacer.apk in system/app? Not sure If thats what is doing it or thats just a dsp for the htc music apk.
It's on the play music app and power amp for me, but I'm pretty sure it's on all apps. Whenever it's on maximum volume. It happens on certain genres of music, drops and breakdowns are the ones who trigger it the most. I lowered the volume of the pre-amp on power amp and that stopped it, but there is no system wide sound limiter so the issue persists in play music.
next time, please post questions in the questions section
Moved thread.... If you put "[Q]" in the title chances are it does NOT belong in the general section....

Sorry about that, always had used general for all my questions before.
Anyways, in case others had the same problem, I took my phone to sprint and it turned out to be badly calibrated so it was producing much higher sound causing the volume to drop and caused distortion on calls as well. Apparently it's a possible bug with the latest update as I had not modified or installed any sound modifying app. After it was calibrated all the problems stopped. They also lowered the intensity of the haptic feedback, which was nice.
Thanks anyways.
.Hello everyone,
I had this problem with my Xperia T for a long time. I searched the forums for something like this but didnt seem to find anything similar to this.
So to cut to the chase the problem is that there is no sound from internal speaker no matter which source it is from: walkman, sms sound, call ringtone, youtube, etc. So there is no sound at all from internal speaker, but is I connect my earphones I can hear everything. The only thing that fix this is restarting phone. Now there are two things that triggers this phenomenon. First one is when I am switching between silent, vibrate, airplane and normal modes. Another one is when I listen to music with earphones plugged and I plug earphones out without turning music off. I did factory reset, but it didnt do anything. I am on latest build (9.1.A.1.141). So yeah thats pretty much everything.
If you need any more info please ask and ill try to provide it. Thanks in advance.

The thing with the earphone plug out is a known bug as far as I know. But I remember having read something about a fix in the T General Section.. Just have a look, you might be lucky..
I think the thread is called "Walkman bug solved" or something similar ^^

Does any body know if there is a way or an app that will allow me to play music via Bluetooth but still have the alarm come through the phone speaker? Here's the situation. I like to listen to music while I sleep but my phone is also my alarm clock. so if my ear-buds come out during sleep "and they usually do" the alarm is coming through the Bluetooth ear-buds and not the phone. I'm a pretty light sleeper so the vibrations have been waking me up so far. But id really like to find a solution to this. Seems like there should be a way especially if your rooted.

It's a long shot, but have you tried Alarm Clock Xtreme? It has the option to force sound to speakers when headphones are plugged in. Not sure if this works with bluetooth but you can give it a shot. Best of luck.

While not an ideal solution for everyone I have two ideas:
I switched a while back to using Timley In doing so I tried to recreate your scenario: bluetooth headphones listening to music and the alarm goes off. It rang in the earphones AND on the phone at normal phone alarm volume.
However I know switching apps can be a lot to ask of someone so my next idea is to use either Tasker or Automagic to have bluetooth turn off at a certain time which would force your phone to play the alarm. However if your bluetooth headphones are good at blocking sound, may be a no go...
Good question. I'll keep thinking.
Thanks. I'm gonna check into all those apps tomorrow.

Ok I decided to try out Timley first and I love the way the app is set up. But the alarm only came through the headphones. Is there a setting for that? I didn't see one.

Well that is strange. The only modifications I made to my system image are ad-blocking and xposed. I havent tweaked any audio anything so I should have a stock experience and had the alarm play on both headset and phone speaker.
It is bluetooth right? Not hardwired?

Yes it is Bluetooth. And that's the same mods I've done to mine. Weird.
