Hey guys,
I've tried searching about everywhere, and it almost seems like im an isolated incident, but...
Im currently running WM6.1 on my vario 3. I've set my alarm to go off each night, sounding the typical alarm. I've got the "enable sounds for Notifications (Alarms, reminders)" bit ticked. However, i put my fone on silent before i go to bed (because i get random emails and txts thru the night which wake me up ). Because of this, the fone doesnt reactivate the sounds for the alarm... so all i get is a little notification come up sayin that the alarm is going.
As you can imagin, having a notification pop up isnt going to wake you up...
Is there any way that i can have my fone on silent, and yet have the alarm sound in the morning? I dont particularly want to run any other clock app, as with the built in one, its running all the time and its set for monday-friday.
Is this even possible? or do i have to get another app?
thanks guys!
Sure it's called AIRPLANE mode. Just turn the phone part off and crank that volume up.
yea, that would work too...
but im curious as to whether there is any way of doing this without having to turn the phone function off...
back on my SE k800, the alarm would still do its thing even in silent mode... and if the fone was off
You have to use a third party app.
go to sounds and notifications in the settings area. then turn off the recieve new emails notification. This is what I do since I receive junk emails late at nite too.

but then, wouldnt you have to reenable these again in the morning? otherwise, u wont be notified of when you get important/real mails?
Thinking out loud here - Couldnt you have a meeting mode or some other mode where you set all the other notifications to silent but leave the alarm loud and when you go to bed put it in that mode?
I will admit I am just tlaking off the top of my head and have not actually tried it. Just a suggestions?

I use PhoneWeaver with scheduled profiles. So at 11:30pm the phone goes silent in the Night profile, and at 5:30am the phone switches back to Day. I have a 5:45am alarm set to go off in the alarms.
You can do the same with PhoneAlarm ... or PhoneAlarm Lite.

PhoneAlarm definitely has more options and configurations, but I've found PhoneWeaver to be simpler, more reliable and it covers the features I use.
There are some free solutions for profile switching out there too, if I can find them I will repost.

ya. this this where it really sucks. I don't know why wm6 don't have diferent ring profiles.
if anyone knows of any free solutions or programs, please let us know.
Sorry if this is a hijack - i've never used the feature, but what does the icon on HTC Home's phone announcement mode with the clock do? There's Loudspeaker Ring On, Silent, Vibrate Only, and then another option that I haven't yet figured out the purpose of.

i would like to know too. i thought this was the other profile but seems to be the same as the ring on. Anyone have the answer?
i thought they were just like "profiles"... like how when u click on the sound icon in the taskbar, uve got the dropdown menu with the 2 volume levels, with the 3 options underneath it...
those alarm clocks sound good, possibly the best option so far...
but im still holding onto the dream that there is some way of actually using the alarm like you would do with a normal fone... hopefully the xperia would still have SE functionality
is there any way for the alarms to repeat every min till i snooze it ?? also itd be great to set a loud mp3 as an alarm.
any good third party alarm ??? other than phone alarm ??
i find phone alarm very confusing and buggy.
@billgatessucks and corleno
Try enAlarmPPC. You can use MP3 as alarm sound, vibrate, random, snooze, and choose to override system sound settings. You can completely turn off all your sound, and enAlarmPPC will still give you sound!
[EDIT] Added some screenshots; BTW only $8.00 at Handango

thanks a bunch johanromijn
ill try it out now
does this app run all the time in the background? or do u need to open it up like u would with any program etc?
so i can either put my fone on silent, and then remember to open up an app... or... i just put the fone into flight mode? :S
One of the things I like about the Galaxy Gear is the wake up alarm notification, set the alarm on my Note 3 and it triggers the alarm also on the Gear. The vibrate function is a nicer way to wake and you can dismiss or snooze the alarm from the Gear. Just in case my Note battery runs out overnight, I've been trying to get a stand-alone alarm onto the Gear with vibrate function as a backup.
ZDclock - app in Samgsung Gearmanager. Tried but found the alarm trigger on Gear to be very unreliable. it often misses the set time and only triggers when you hit the home button. Wonder is this a refresh issue, often when I hit home button to check time, it momentarily shows an older time before updating to current?
I've also tried the D-Day app which allows you to set alarm reminders but I still get the same issue - alarm often delayed, late or only goes when I switch on screen.
Anyone had similar issues and resolved, or got a working reliable stand-alone alarm app with vibrate on their gear. I've tried with both stock and null rom, same issue.
Hi everyone,
I just bought the watch and I was wondering if there is an application that wake you up with the vibration of the watch.
Almost very bands have this functionnality, it analyses your sleep and wake you up at the best moment.
Do you know if this watch could do it?
Thanks
Sleep as Android claims to have this functionality, but can not figure out how to get it to vibrate on the watch instead of my phone.
Did you try setting an alarm on the watch?

If you set an alarm on the watch, it will vibrate the watch at the alarm time.
Try
"Ok Google
Set an alarm for 8am"
To stop the alarm (as by default it sets it for every day going forward), you'll need
"OK Google
Show alarms"
Hey !
Yes I found out this application couple days ago.
After you sync the app with your watch, it will automaticaly use it to wake you up.
But there is a big delay between the phone and watch.
The vibration on the watch starts 45 second after, and it will decrease time between 2 vibrations.
Just got an Urbane...previously had a G Watch, G Watch R and Sony Smartwatch 3 and I am having an issue I have never experienced before. It could be because I am now using a Zenfone 2 as well. What is going on is that whenever I turn my sound off on my phone it will disable my notifications. The only way I can keep my watch notifications active is to at least keep the phone on vibrate. I have never used sound or vibrate on my phone and that is why I like to use a smartwatch. Any ideas or solutions to mute my phone and keep getting notifications on my Urbane? Thanks in advance.

That's android wear functionality in lollipop. If you set priority on the phone it goes to priority on the watch and if you set it on the watch the phone changes to it as well. Nothing can be done about it to my knowledge.
I have an Honor Band 3 connected. It shows calls, messages and calendar events just fine, but it stopped showing alarms.
It used to work (a week ago, maybe 2...) with alarms set in the built-in clock.
There's now an "Alam"-section in the Huawei Wear-app that I'm not sure was there before. If I set an alarm here, it works fine.
Now, a funny thing is, if an alarm (built-in) goes off on the phone, the wrist band is quiet. If I snooze the alarm on the phone, the wrist band tells me I snoozed an alarm...
In Huawei Wear under Notifications management I have selected Clock.
Anyone have any ideas...?
