Take control of your device’s alarm
settings and get your dream wake-up call
Every device has a clock - it is an
integral part of the experience, and accompanying the clock is always an alarm.
An alarm is typically used as a wake-up call or as a timer. Like all good
alarms, Android users can set up multiple alarms to go off at different times
and for different days of the week.
Once an alarm’s kick-off time has been
selected there are a number of options that can be applied. The alarm sound can
be selected from a list of specialist alarm-type sounds, or as an alternative,
other system sounds and music found on your device. Alarms can be used as a
single event or can be set up to repeat on selected days of the week. Alarms
even have the option to choose a selected snooze duration.

Managing an alarm’s setting
An alarm will need to wake up or warn the
user, and a little fine-tuning helps. Here’s how to adjust snooze times,
alarm volume and button behaviour
Time to snooze
It is almost guaranteed that the first
time an alarm sounds it is switched off to snooze. To define how much snooze
time an alarm has, tap Snooze duration and select from the options.
Wake up
An alarm needsto be as loud, or quiet,
as necessary to wake up or grab attention. The volume of an alarm can be set
as high or as low as desired by simply selecting Alarm volume.
Button behaviour
Once alarm goes off it needs to be dealt
with quickly. The app’s settings has three options that can be applied to
your side button. Select from None, Snooze or Dismiss.
