lol,, good way,, I may try it

or there is a feature of stock ROM or an app im not sure, anyway its called 'fake call'
just set that as an alarm, your phone will ring until picked up (unless you have voice-mail) you can even record your own message for when you pick up, not that you will need to do that, as you know exactly who is ringin and what they are saying lol.
but it should ring longer than your alarm.

Custom alarm

Does anyone have an idea why the alarm stops so quickly on the Kaiser?
I mean it seems as if it goes off once for a minute or two and then that's it.
I have not ONCE woken up from it.
Is there a registry tweak to make it just keep going and how do you input custom alarm sounds, I need something with a higher volume/pitch than the built in Alarm5 (the only one that's even close to be annoying enough).

Where you set you alarm, you are able to select "Repeat sound", although this does not work properly either.
But quite frankly, the built in alarm on WM6 is the poorest alarm I've ever experienced. It has few functions, few options, and few way to customize it.
But if you want a different ringtone, you can create a short(max 5-6 seconds) .wav file, and put it in the windows folder. Make sure it's not too large, either. Then you should be able to select it in the alarm menu
Is there any good alarm apps for WM6 then?
I don't have an ordinary alarm clock and I've used my cell phone for years as an alarm clock, this is the first phone I've had that can't do this simple task properly.
I have all the options check for the alarm, still it only rings for a minute or two so if I don't wake up immediately I'm screwed.
Don't want to miss any flights or appointments because of this so I really need something to replace it with.

Yes. If the ringtone is short, it stops ringing after a short while. I have an alarm tone of about 6 seconds, so it keeps going a while longer for me. But the alarm function for this phone is not designed for waking people up, I'm afraid. Only notify you.
SPB-Time is a great app for managing alarms and such
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/time/?en
The downside is that it costs about 15$. But SPB is a great company, so I believe they deserve those 15$ instead of just downloading it off the net. I've tested it, and I found it a great app
I still haven't found a proper free solution, though.
try StopTime by Jonathan Sachs. it never fails to wake me up.
Look over there...
Same discussion with more proposals for custom alarm. after I read this I got pTravelAlarm on my Niki and I think that will be the one.
Cheers,
jekk.

Silence everything except for Alarms

Is there any easy way to silence everything except for the Alarm function when I go to sleep each night? I want to have Notifications for emails and Calendar events audible during the day. But at night I want to have a silent phone with the exception of the Alarm Clock. Seems a simple ask but tricky to accomplish.
An easy way: Get pTravelAlarm
It overrides your soundsettings. Pretty darn handy !
Sounds good. Will check it out. However it is dissapointing that this capability is not in the phone without add on software.
I am somewhat surprised no one else seems interested in a "silence everything except for the Alarm" function! Seems to me a good way to have the phone set of a night time.
haha why are u so suprised?

Because it would seems to be the logical mode to have your phone in at night if you need to use the Alarm and do not want to be disturbed by anything else. Not much point having a wakeup Alarm set in a device that pops and farts all night keeping you awake (emails/reminders etc)
Instead you can set the phone to silent mode to avoid the sleep interruptions and then the Alarm wont sound
well i get your point...i do the same with phone suite..in a different way to achieve the same result i guess
what i do is just set my alarm at lets say 7am...then select the silence profile to 6:59am...so at 6:59am it will change to the vibrate profile and then at 7 my alarm would vibrate...and any calls/text n such before 6:59am would just be under the silent profile
Yes, there is an easy way to do it. Use PhoneAlarm, it´s a kind of Swiss knife. For example you can create profiles like you might know it from Nokia phones. Your night profile may leave the alarm funktion working.

Will check it out as well. Like you say a timed profile would indeed do the trick. Still, I find it disappointing that this capability is not built into such an expensive phone and you have to pay extra for it.
There's an easier solution.
Try enAlarmPPC.
Just turn the sound off; alarm will still sound!

PhoneAlarm Lite will do what you want and it is free.
I do agree that it's an irritating omission from Windows Mobile, but it's not the only one. That's why places like xda-dev are so useful

I've been needing just this sort of functionality myself recently and was disppointed that this feature doesnt exist as with most phones my blackberry can be turned off and it'll still sound the alarm only......come on Microsoft....pull your bleedin socks up !!

If thats this PhoneAlarm Lite it is not free and costs €14.50 with a 30 day free trial. I do not want to have to pay that sort of money for single simple feature that should be in the bloody OS in the first place. I am sure PhoneAlarm is an excellent product but I have no use for all its other features. (Like buying a car to listen to the radio when I could have bought a radio). Wish there was just a registry key I could change that would force that Alarm to sound when the phone is set to its Silent profile. Even a tiny app that would achieve just this functionality and nothing else would be worth paying a couple of bucks for.

[Q] "Good morning" smart alarm tone: can I haz? :D

Hi!
I had a galaxy s before, and I really loved the "Good morning" wake up tone in the smart alarm. Could someone please export it, and upload it somewhere so I could use it on my current phone? Thanks!
best regards, SteMa
u mean the small music.. slowly making u awake every morning? with the slowly improving sound ( 5 minutes before actual alarm goes off )
i love it
ive been looking around my phone for you but didnt find the tune yet. its not a normal tune i guess..
That's exactly what I'm looking for! It was pleasing to wake to that It must be a normal tune, but maybe renamed and hidden in the system :S But I would really like to have it
yeah i guess it is the functionality "smart alarm" .. hidden somewhere
Pm to me with email, i will send it to you...
What?! How can you like this? I hate this goddamn alarm, lol
If I have to wake up to something anyway, this should be the tune
bayerischbeer: sent, thx!
edit: well at least I hope this is the one I liked Is this the one the sprinkling and flute nature-like tune?

how can u hate this alarm.. you wake up so quiet with this alarm.. so joyful.. relaxing..
its the best way of getting wake up by an alarm instead of some clock doing EEP EEP EEP EEP EEP
I think you're after:
/system/media/audio/ui/Morning.ogg
That's the one that sounds like flutes and running water...
/system/media/audio/alarms/Good_Morning.ogg is quite 'loud' and jarring by comparison...
I'd upload it... But apparently I can only upload from the gallery, music player or voice recorder??! Wtf?
If I remember, I'll upload it tomorrow my from desktop...

u never mentioned u are a fruit-user ! shush out of our forums u !
I was always planning to tell you that after I got what I want I was unsatisfied with the gps in the sgs, it was a bit big to handle, and the lack of led-flash... The iphone came in our country and with a contract, it's at a reasonable price (when I bought the sgs, the iphone was 2.5x more expensive (gray import))
Great thanks for the morning.ogg
I like to wake up with the smart alarm. But I disable it because it doesn't have SNOOZE - If I Stop it apparently the alarm doesn't play 5 minutes after...
Can someone please tell me how I can flash these files into the current ROM I'm using? I'm relatively new, so I don't know how to create flashable files so I can install stuff into the system

Thanks for the files exadeci!
I listened to these files on my computer and it doesn't sound like the volume increases as the file plays.
When I use the Smart Alarm, the sounds gets louder and louder as the file plays.
Does the Samsung Smart Alarm app increase the volume or is the volume increase supposed to be part of the file?

Can you just point your alarm clock to play these files? I think they are regular sound files that you can tell your alarm app to use.

please can someone send me this tone??? my email is [email protected]

It's very simple... If you want to use any sound as an alarm or ringtone, you just have to convert your song into *.ogg and place it in the internal SD card.
Then, unplug USB and the phone will scans your new files.
After that, you can use your song as ringtone or alarm!

Just download a ROM, no matter which one (stock or custom), and open it with winrar, then go to :
system/media/audio/alarms or notifications or ringtones
You'll find here all the sound used by the phone!
Take the file you want to use then, and place it into your phone to use it

Vibration as input/event

Hi guys! Is there a way to make the vibration of the phone (no UI changes or text notification, just vibration) an event/input? Thanks :cyclops:
Uhh....that sounds weird. Can you give a bit more information. What specific thing is causing your phone to vibrate in the first place that you want Tasker to respond to?

Pokemon go app When a pokemon appear, the phone vibrate. I would like to use it as an event to make my smartwatch notify it to me.

Ahah I know I know it may sounds stupid, but it's just a way of playing it without staying watching the screen all the time while walking. I thought to use tasker to do that but I can't find a way to use that vibration as an input, there're no other notifications.

Ahh.....OK. If that is the case, I dunno.... There is probably a real hacky way to do it with shell script and root or something....but nothing straight forward

Hmm... I'm not sure if this would work, but have you tried notification listener from play store? It's a tasker plug in. It might be enough that the vibration came from the game to trigger...
you can try this app :

Personally I just have no sound in emails. I am checking them all the time either way, so when I don't want to be annoyed silent notification does the job. (I receive circa 800 emails on a daily basis, so I would go mad if it made a sound every single time)
