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.

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 there,
my friend has a samsung galaxy s2 with android 4.1.1 and he has an option for the alarm sound to start low and increase.
i have an htc one with android revolution hd 30.5 and android 4.3 and there's no such option.
I dont like ANY of the clock/ alarm 3rd side apps. they are just ugly!
is there any other way?
the alarm keeps giving me a heart attack every morning!
thanks
because at 5am in the morning you care what an app looks like?
3rd party app is the only way.. Not sure which ones you've looked at, but there are some real nice ones out there.
*S¡gned
but where's the option from android 4.1.1?
i miss my nokia!
i like stock apps what can i do?
i want to access the alarms from the stock android clock on the home screen and not via the app shortcut.
what about android 4.4 kitkat? is there gonna be an option there?
if not, can u recommend any simple to use apps?
thanks
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.
Hi,
I'm on recent epic global ROM. Alarm didnt go off twice now over night after being off charger. I reckon this has something to do with deep sleep and / or battery optimization.
Anyone with the same problem? Any good workaround, if so?
I used Google clock.
On another note, Any clock Widget doesnt show the correct upcoming alarm. No difference if Set with Google or System clock App...
