HTC Hero / Android - alarm with no sound

binarybasher · 11-08-2009, 10:21 AM

The HTC Hero phone running Android is an amazing phone, simply fantastic to use.

There are a few minor grumbles, but the main issue I have right now is that the alarm only vibrates, the alarm sound never activates.

I've tried disabling the alarm vibrate, just in case that was taking priority, but no luck.

What ever I do the alarm never sounds...

Phone details:
Model: HTC Hero
Firmware: v1.5
Kernel: 2.6.27-a5504199
Software: v1.0.0.A6288

Can anybody advise with this please?

Thank you

Seems to be a lot of people with this issue:

If you check here:

Issue 1109 - android - No sound or vibrate by alarm clock when set to be on. - Project Hosting on Google Code

One commentor has had success using the following method:

"Disabling and re-enabling the repetitive alarm (which I have set for Mon-Thu) every day. Resetting
the power alone does not fix it. "

Thanks, I'll try that and see what happens... Actually, I read the thread and found the solution is to press the volume control's (set the alarm volume) whilst setting the sound the alarm should play. Easy, but initially annoying :-)
