Hi everybody, I can set whatever personal music file as alarm and they works perfectly as long as the phone is switched on. But when it's switched off (e.g. in the night) the alarm sound is set back to the default one. Is there a way to choose the wake-up mood without keeping the device on? ;-) Thx, Thewas

I moved the music file in the phone memory and, magically, the alarm worked perfectly. Unless other experiments contradict me, looks like the alarm "half-boot" of the switched off device doesn't have access to SD card. That means that if you want a specific song for the alarm you have to put it in the phone memory. More attempts will be done when the near-future alarm bug will be resolved. ;-) If nothing happens in the next day I'll set this question as wiki. Thx everybody
The same problem can occure if the file is on the phone memory but in the android_storage. In this case moving/copying the file to the ~/Music directory solves the problem. If you choose to copy, the one that works should be the second one in the list.

Why are you switching off your device? Booting of smartphones takes usually more power than having it in flight-mode (if you want to reduce radiation) or even just gsm/umts-standby all night.

It's obviously a difference between alarms when the phone is on and alarms when it's off that may be possible to address.

gordon_pcb_designer ( 2014-01-30 14:21:31 +0300 )edit@aegis What I can assume is that the ambience defaults override work perfectly until the phone is on, but there is no way to make the device access them in the "partial wake-up" mode in which the alarm starts. When I switch it on again all my settings are there as I left them, and work parfectly.
thewas ( 2014-01-30 14:28:37 +0300 )edit@gordon Are you using a default ambience or a custom made one?
