Ringtone / Sound issues#
1. Why didn’t my selected ringtone play?#
- File Issues: Ensure local files weren’t moved or deleted.
- Network/Radio: If an online stream fails, the app plays a built-in fallback ringtone after 30 seconds.
- Spotify: If the screen is locked, Spotify may resume your last session instead of switching playlists.
2. Why is my Silent Alarm playing a sound?#
- Battery Optimization: If vibration drivers are restricted, the app sounds a fallback ringtone to ensure you wake up. Disable battery optimizations.
- Direct Boot: If your phone restarted and is at the lock screen, the app cannot access custom files and uses a built-in fallback sound.
3. How do I set a silent alarm for smartwatches or sleeping next to a partner?#
You can set up a silent alarm using either Delayed Sound (recommended to prevent oversleeping) or by setting the ringtone to Silent:
- Option 1 (Ringtone Delay): Go to
Settings➔Alarms➔Gentle wake up➔Delayed sound. Wearable vibrations or smartlights trigger first, and audio only starts if you don’t wake up within the delay window. - Option 2 (Silent Ringtone): Open the specific alarm card ➔ tap Sound ➔ select Silent.
