If you have an alarm set on the phone, will it play through the speakers? I am curious if this will work as an alarm clock...

The alarm will play through the speaker, but only if it hasn't timed out yet. So as long as you're only going to sleep for about fifteen minutes, you'll be good. It's a bit unfortunate.

In my experience no. If you are listening to music as night, when the music stops after some time the speaker turns off, though it keeps charging your phone. So when I wake up the speaker is off and the alarm sound come out of the phone. I am not sure if you played music all night (keeping the speaker active) if the alarm would play through the speaker, my guess is it probably would. I would test for you but I am out of town for the next few days.

This was my plan when I purchased this device. Yes, it will play through the speakers but unfortunately there's a timeout setting on either the phone or speaker that will disconnect on idle (I think it's 20-30 mins) So it will be disconnect itself by the time the alarm is set to go off. I'm still pretty happy with it, my nightstand is less cluttered.

Not easily done. The speakers will "turn off" for lack of a better term, which will make the sound come out only from the phone. I don't know if there's a setting that can be changed to keep that from happening. Before bed I just turn up the volume on my phone to wake me up in the morning.

I haven't had very good luck with this as a speakerphone but only used it in that way a few times. Each time I attempted to use as a speaker phone I was listening to my Iphone with the Monster speaker (rather loudly) and got a phone call and had to disconnect and answer the handset normally because the caller said it sounded like I was in a drum. Maybe because my volume was so high? (by the way this little thing is LOUD, it will surprise you)

I think the speaker is just below the sensor on the front. Perhaps that is where you would apply something. I'm still trying to wrap my head around wanting to muffle an alarm. Isn't the point of an alarm to be loud?

Thanks for your interests. If you just want it for alarm purpose, you do not need to connect it to a phone line or internet. When you want it to call, you need to connect it to a phone line.Hope the information helps you a lot.

I have never tried it but my guess is that it should work as the speakers are used on the phone with the alarm

nope mine was extremely bad all i could get it to do was answer a voice call. mine i could set the time and alarm . but unfortunately it would not tell time. it was like being in the twilight zone where time stood still. it was a total waist of time & money.

You would need to download an Alarm app to use it. The alarm function runs through the device.

The same thing is happening to me....I just purchased this yesterday and can't seem to get the alarm to work either. What was your solution??

I just verified that your alarm will NOT sound over the speaker, other than that, we love this speaker, great speaker for the price!

I set my iPhone clock app to wake me up through the iHome iPL10. When the alarm turns on it is very faint then gradually increases in volume. Never "scares" me awake. Not sure if that is the iPhone clock app alarm or if it is the iHome that controls the gradual increase in volume. I have not used the integrated alarm on the iHome clock - but my guess is that the iHome controls the volume as well. I'll try it tomorrow and let you know.

Yes, can set volume. Speaker phone, yes. Alarm clock works great. Can't remember if it vibrates. I stopped using this phone because you it was made before the new regulations, and so it takes only its own unique power cordand headset. Mine didn't come with a headset and by the time I bought one, or a computer connector, it would get expensive, ANDthey are hard to find. I switched to a Nokia 521 with T-mobile and it works great. I would never buy this Samsung again. I do keepit around though, in case I need an instant backup or alarm clock. It really works best as an alarm clock. Yes, can set volume. Speaker phone, yes.

Yes, there are a couple of android apps that allow you to wake using music from your library. I just tried Alarm Clock Plus last night and it worked fine. The other app that I read about was called Alarm Clock Xtreme. I assume it would work equally as well.

Yes...this phone has an alarm and much more to offer...the only con I can speak of is that the speakerphone isn't as loud as I would like, other than that I am super satisfied with this devices offerings....for the price, you can't go wrong

I currently have this speaker and the clock on mine works. My husband is the one that sets all the electronic up but he isn't in town. My advice to you is to contact amazon and tell them what is going on and request a new system. But I will say when I first got it I had a hard time with the clock anyway.

I was never able to get the radio to work so I can't tell you. Also, when the phone was plugged into the radio, it seemed to kill any sound from the phone so I wouldn't hear it ring at all. I also wouldn't hear any alarms I set on the phone.

When I use the alarm, I adjust the volume using the radio before bed. Otherwise, it will auto set. I hope that helps.

It's just a dock with speakers. It will charge certain (many) ipods, but it is not an alarm clock. If you have the ipod touch, you can use the alarm on the clock app, and it will play through the speakers (but that also means you'd be keeping the ipod on the speakers/charger for a long time even after it's charged, which could wear out your battery faster). Hope this helps.
