Please introduce an option, to let the alarm clock signal start with a very low volume and increase the volume while ringing. This makes waking up much more relaxing.

Edit: My former Galaxy S3 had a really nice solution called 'smart alarm'. It started a few minutes before the actual alarm and played a nice Zen-like melody which started at an almost quite sound level. It increased constantly but very slowly which made waking up absolutely relaxing.

I am always amazed how uncommon this feature is, even if easy and incredibly useful. I completely second the request, this would make the alarm a lot better.

yep ditto!

I think the alarm sound already increases a bit for a few seconds, but not much, not for long and it doesn't start very low. Nokia E71 had it right!

An option for the time required to reach full volume would also be nice

This feature could be added under Settings -> Apps -> Clock:

Option "Alarm"
- Ring tone (get from ambience (default) / user override -> opens a list
- Lenght of ringing (1min / 3min / 10min / until shut down (default) )
- Volume setting (get from ambience (default) / forced to full / increasing
- Snooze options (after 5min (default) / after 10min / disabled <-- (countdown starts when "snooze" is selected)
- Listen (test)
I'm a big fan of customizing, and my answer includes some more features than asked here. Please comment, I'm glad to edit.

Am I missing something because when I go to Settings -> Apps -> Clock the "Clock" section is greyed out?

The answer from Simo is just a suggestion, how the final implementation could look like.

@inffi No, you're not :) This answer presents adding such setting to Jolla clock, so please vote up if you like the idea.

Oh lol :D well I agree with simo! :D

inffi ( 2014-02-06 17:23:16 +0300 )edit

@bart It's another great idea, feel free to copy any parts of this answer and give a new one with your ideas to vote. I'll probably vote it up too ;)

I think that going to settings to customize the alarm seems over-complicated. My proposition would be that all options should be part of the process of setting up/editing the alarm, and per-alarm basis.

This feature should be found under Apps -> Clock -> New Alarm / Edit Alarm.

Ring tone (get from ambience (default) / user override -> opens a list
Lenght of ringing (1min / 3min / 10min / until shut down (default) )
Volume setting (get from ambience (default) / forced to full / increasing)
Include puzzle yes / no (to avoid turning alarm off by accident)
Snooze time: after 5min (default) / after 10min /... / after 60 min / disabled
Snooze period: constant / decreasing by half / decreasing by constant amount
Listen (test)

btw: I do not think this should be marked as accepted answer, this makes it look as if it had already been implemented.

tokaru ( 2014-08-20 22:36:54 +0300 )edit

I totally agree that the options for alarm should be in one place (when you are setting the alarm). Going back and forth in different setting places is not nice at all. Upvoting

Hello. I am wondering if this feature is implemented? What is the status here?

4 years and the feature has still not been implemented. Jolla, what ARE you doing? I'm still having to rely on my Nokia Lumia as a bed-side alarm clock as they've had the feature since 2012.

Possibility to adjust the volume of alarm ringtone is really needed. Though I have even a bit of opposite concern that using certain loud ringtones for alarm clock, the maximum soundlevel is perhaps even a bit too high for the integrated speaker to carry out in the long run. https://together.jolla.com/question/13666/bug-too-loud-alarm-clock-sound/
