my alarm volume doesn't seem to work, i have the volume turned on, i have the volume cheked in sounds and notifications. I worked before, the only thing i do is turn the phone on vibrate when i go to work and turn the volume back on when i get off, i've been doing this every since i got the phone in november, now all of the sudden the volume doesn't want to work on teh alarm when i have the volume on, when i go to the alarm i get the popup that says make sure the volume is turned on in the sounds and notifications settings, which it is. i did a soft reset that didn't work, i then took out the battery and sim and put them back in thinking the phone just needed to clear itself or what ever kind of like shutting down a pc completely, and that didn't work either, any ideas on this? also every since taking out the battery and sim card, i now i have a blue circle in the top bar next the atenna were if i push it, it brings up the option to ativate PTT anyone know how to get rid of this?

anyone? i managed to get teh second part were i get the blue icon on the top bar to go away, but the alarm part i can not figure out.
Perhaps you should try custom alarm applications like Pocket WakeUp or Mortplayer or something the like.
Most of them can override volume control to a fixed point (even if you put your Kaiser on vibrate, the alarm app starts itself and sets the volume to a chosen strength, like 50%)

I had sound problems once. It happened when I set a music program to associate with mp3's (default is Windows Madia Player), once I removed the association, all played normal again.
I think I changed it with the back Advanced Configuration Tool.
Or try your alarm with a wav or mwa file, perhaps you'll get sound then.
No sound
I've had my Tilt for 2 days, and since I flashed the latest Dutty 6.1 ROM I have no sound from alarms, music, sliding keyboard, phone ringer...nothing. I can hear the other caller talking and they can hear me. My phone vibrates but does not ring, even though I have it set for vibrate and ring. Can anyone help?
Anyone figure out a way to get the notifications volume louder? I have yet to be able to find one. I tried louder volume hack but it didnt seem to work for me.
I second this.

Mine seemed fairly loud once I turned the "Alarm volume" all the way up and told it not to use the increasing volume option.
i dont see alarm volume. either way the ear piece volume is low as is the speakerphone volume... would be nice to have a hack to increase it. if this fixes the alerts that would hold me over till a hack hits for this.
where is the increasing volume option.

It's the volume check box in the alarm options.
first day I used droid x as an alarm i was late for work because the sound was so low
Unchecking "use increasing volume" made it better
I suggest buying one of those cheap Ipod/Iphone speaker setups they sell at walmart for like $9 and just hook up to the audio jack if you're gonna use it as an alarm
Bump because I wanna know if it can be increased

Ok i found the increasing volume setting. Go to your alarm clock,hit add alarm and the the increasing volume setting is just past halfway

I'd like to see a increase in the volume of the earpiece. It's a bit difficult at times to hear some people talk on phones that have microphones that are a bit on the low side.

You have to click on the alarm that your trying to activate and its the second to last click-able option before "Done" & "Revert".
I'd love to see a volume hack. When music or ringtones are playing, I think the volume level is satisfactory but sometimes there are certain apps and movies that have lower than normal sound levels and it would be nice to temporarily boost the speaker. Maybe a speaker mod is in order, here
Is there a hearing impaired option in the phone settings? Some android phones have that and it increases volume. Another method is for someone to mod the kernel to accomplish this (which has been done on other phones like the EVO)
I know its not a hack, but the app Quick Settings allows you to control all of the volume settings individually. Its really nice.
Motorola has finally acknowledged this problem and has stated that a fix will be included in a future software update (probably Froyo)...
Go to settings go to sound and display go to media audi effects phone speaker make sure enable audio effects go to equalizer to desired setting
not a fix but seems to help
For alarm volume.
While in the first menu of the alarm screen press the "Menu" button. Then select the "setting" button. Alarm volume is the second option down.
I am having an issue with both of my Bionic's and it's probably I just don't know where to go. I use the stock alarm and also Gentle alarm. First, gentle alarm, the volume never goes as loud as it should; it's a simple program but I find it doesn't work but I digress. When my alarm goes off first off it doesn't seem as loud as it does when you pick the alarm sound you want to use but the really annoying thing is if I even touch the phone the volume goes clear down to the lowest level. Is there a setting on this phone that I am not seeing ? I tested it just to be sure last nite and every time it went off and I even touched or moved the thing the volume might as well have gone to mute you couldn't hear it. I need a much better alarm than this seems to be offering
If you go into the sound section of the settings app you should see a volume option, pick this and see if your alarm volume may have lowered any.

Just recently I discovered that Find My Device no longer Rings on the Phone (Note 3)
It only Vibrates
I've tried the following:
Uninstalled Gear Manager 1.6x
Revert to Galaxy Gear NA6 Stock ROM
Reinstalled Gear Manager 1.6x
Turning up Volume
Changing Ring Tone
Problem Solved:
I discovered the solution by partial accident.
After I realized the Find My Device wasn't going to work, I proceeded to use TasGear to launch a new Tasker Task that I would make to have my phone play a sound.
In making this task in Tasker, I found that whenever the Stream was set to Alarm, no sound would be produced. This would be the case in Alert, Music Play, etc.
So I went into the Stock TW Alarm clock to trigger a Timer alert to see if it would work.....it worked
Then I tried setting an Alarm in 1 minute......it worked.
Then I went back on to the Gear and selected "Find My Device"..... It now works.
Then I went back into Tasker to see if when Stream is set to Alarm would work........It now works.
Samsung Software, what a waste of time.
There is definitely a bug in the code. Beware.
I don't understand. Can you give me instructions on how to make my find my device ring again? It's very annoying when I am trying to find my phone and it only vibrates

I had the same issue for a while and decided to play with my system sound settings. I changed the sound settings where it says music, video, games, etc were turned down so I turned it up and now it works. The find my device only worked when my ring volume was up and never knew why it stopped working when it was on vibrate. I am thinking this is the reason as it now works for me.
Hi I was wondering if I was alone on this but ever since the new update, my alarm would not sound (but screen turns on) if the alarm is using either the Snooze or Dismiss 'Side keys behaviour'. The alarm does sound when the side keys behaviour is set to none though! I've tried both using mp3 files and the default ringtones.
Extra details:
I found that using default ringtones will make the alarm sound BUT for only half a second and never again.
Phone is not on silent mode and alarm volume is up.
Phone is up to date, tried restarting but no differences.
edit: I found that the alarm will not sound as long as the global volume slider for alarms is less than or equal to that of the volume slider on the individual set alarm! this is a weird occurrence
edit: scratch that
Thanks for reading!.
Hello there,
having same issues with alarm since 5.1.1 update. Last 4 days alarm worked fine for 2 days, did not work for other 2 days. Screen is lit up, but there is no sound.
Did not really check what causes it, but I have side keys behaviour on dismiss for sure.
Guess I'll try to increase the global volume slider and see what's up.
Thanks for the post!

I've had this problem since day 1 of upgrading to 5.1.1 from 4.4.4.
If I set the side keys action to "none" then everything works just fine, but as you mentioned, if set to dismiss or snooze, then the phone seems to automatically perform the action without me touching it. That's why we only hear the alarm for a split second. I was late to work two days in a row before I figured this out.
Though, what exactly do you mean by the global volume dictates whether or not the alarm will sound? I'm not sure I understood. I may need to try this.

You know when you press the side volume button that dropdown pops up at the top of the screen? If you click the button on the right of that dropdown, you get options to change the volume of Ringtone, Media, and Alarm volume; I called this the global volume. Then in our alarm edit there is a "Alarm volume" slider for each alarm. So I think I found that as long as the individual alarm volume is greater than that global alarm volume setting, the alarm will sound.
Could test this with a quick alarm one minute from now
I caught my bus late twice because of this I thought I was just getting used to my loud neighbour's 5 am parties.
I'm just glad I'm not the only one having this issue. I posted about it nearly 2 weeks ago and got no response. I did a full wipe before upgrading, then re-wiped again, then flashed the US firmware from two different members. Nothing solved the problem. Now I have to use the screen to snooze or cancel the alarm, which is harder to do when you're half-asleep.
The global volume slider thingie works... kind of...
if the global volume slider for alarms is higher than volume slider for specific alarm, it will sound even with side keys behaviour set to dismiss.
However, once the alarm sounds, it sets the global slider to the same level as is the alarm slider that just triggered. This means on the next day alarm won't sound, bcs global and specific alarm sliders are even (and even is not good enough, global just has to be higher).
Cheers

Geeze - that sucks. I can't believe only a hand-full of us have this problem. What's the deal and how can we fix it?
