Who has encountered that the alarm clock didn't ring on time or didn't call at all? Yes, perhaps everyone. Whether you overslept for work because of this or got up on time yourself is not so important. It is important that after this you most likely could no longer rely on one alarm clock and started setting two - preferably on different devices. However, as it turned out, there is another, directly opposite problem. It lies in the fact that the alarm clock simply refuses to turn off, no matter what you do. Let's try to figure out what this problem is, where it came from and how to overcome it.

Setting an alarm on Android
By default, the alarm clock function is assigned to the “Clock” program built into the operating system. It is multifunctional and can not only show the time and wake up the owner of the phone, but also turn into a stopwatch and timer.
To find and set up an alarm clock on Android, you need to do the following:
- Click on the clock shortcut located on the desktop, or click on the corresponding widget (of course, if you use one).
- In the window that opens, select the leftmost tab.
- When you first enter this application, the alarm clock will be inactive. To start it, you should tap on the plus sign, set the required time and click “Done”. The dial controls are touch sensitive and may seem awkward at first. However, you will quickly get used to it.
In order not to configure the application every day at the same time, you should indicate in the list that appears the days when the alarm clock should go off. In the same window you can select a sound signal from a standard set.
If you want to set your own ringtone, you will need:
- Through any file manager available on the phone (for example, File Manager), enter the media\audio directory. It is located in the internal memory of the gadget.
- Create an alarms folder in it.
- Throw in the melody you want to set as an alarm.
Now the song copied to the alarms folder will appear in the list of available ringtones.
If you need to turn off the alarm, just drag the corresponding slider to the Off position. In this case, the application settings will not be lost, which will allow you to reactivate them with one click if necessary.
Changing settings
If you want to avoid being disturbed at a specific time, you can set up a schedule. Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb and turn on Scheduled. Then choose a time.
You can also choose to receive alerts, calls, and notifications.
- Sleep mode: This will dim the lock screen, mute call tones, and keep notifications in the Notification Center section until Do Not Disturb ends.
- Silence: Set to mute all calls and notifications at all times or only when your device is locked.
- Allow calls: Allow you to accept calls from everyone, no one, favorite contacts, or specific groups of contacts stored on your device or iCloud.
- Repeated Calls: If someone calls again within three minutes, that call will not be muted.

I can't turn off the alarm
Google Play is full of alarm clock applications for Android , which are aimed at guaranteeing to wake up the user at a strictly specified time. To do this, they use various tricks. One of the most common ways is to get you to stand up and do some kind of action.
Some alarms require you to perform a specific action to turn them off.
My colleague Artyom Rakhmatullin has already talked about one of these alarm clocks, which he himself uses. In his case, the application requires him to get out of bed, go out into the hallway and take a photo of a predetermined object. If you do not do this, the alarm will not turn off.

If you use something like this, I recommend making sure you meet its requirements exactly. For example, we took a photo from exactly the right angle. Or maybe your alarm clock is based on your geolocation and needs access to GPS. In general, carefully study its requirements.
Turn Do Not Disturb mode on or off
When Do Not Disturb is turned on, a crescent moon icon appears in the status bar. There are two ways to turn Do Not Disturb mode on or off.
Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb to manually turn on Do Not Disturb or set a schedule.
Open Control Center, touch and hold to quickly change Do Not Disturb settings, or tap to turn Do Not Disturb on or off.
If you set an alarm in the Clock app, it will sound even if Do Not Disturb is turned on. Learn how to set and manage your alarm.
Adjusting settings for using the volume buttons
In our specific case we will select the Configuration option, this action will take us to a new window where we can see several options and two sections. In the watch section we will have the option to change the style, where we will be able to choose between two models, analogue and digital. The option of automatic local clock is for those cases when you are in places with different times.
In the alarm , we will find options such as Auto Silence, where you can choose different waiting times. We will also see a snooze option, just like you can choose the alarm time. Volume option and volume up option.
Finally we will find an option that will allow us to turn off the phone with volume buttons. This option corresponds to the volume buttons, at this point the "do nothing" option should be enabled. Well, let's change this selection, to do this we click on the "Volume" button, after which a window will appear with three options.
These are “Delay”, “Ignore” and “Do Nothing”. If you select Snooze, the alarm will go off but will sound again once the time you selected in Snooze has passed. If you select the Ignore option, the alarm will go off and no longer sound. You need to choose the one that best suits your needs.
As you can see, this is a simple operation and you probably didn't know that you have this option on your mobile phone. So, we have come to the end of this tutorial which showed you how to easily turn off your phone alarm using the volume buttons.

Basic settings for the clock are here: Settings > Advanced settings > Date and time . I have already written about these settings in this article.
And in the application you can only add a time zone (in addition to your own) to see what time it is in another city (and the time difference relative to my local one). For example, I have the time of Istanbul and Manila (Türkiye and the Philippines).
To add a time zone, click on the plus sign at the bottom of the screen.
