Hello guys,

I have just a few hours sleep daily (3~4) but in this time my sleep is very very deep. The alarm stops after 1 minute and sometimes I don't wake up. I would like it to keep ringing constant until a manual break or the battery runs out.

I tried to tweak the "/var/cache/alarmd/alarm_queue.ini" but no success.

Does anybody know if this is possible?

You should edit the alarm sound using a computer program such as Audacity! Loop it for the # of minutes you'd like (30 minutes) and put it back in the file where it goes in your N900!

That won't work as I have a wav that is about 2 or 3 mins long and it cuts off after about 1 min.

Does anyone else have any suggestions as to prolonging the default alarm playback timeout?

Not gonna happen. Unless there's a setting I'm unaware of.

See, /usr/lib/systemui/libsystemuiplugin_alarm_dialog.so is closed source. Welcome to Maemo.

Surely this isn't impossible to achieve to have the alarm sound for as long as you require. Such a basic feature.

Don't tell me that you super dude programmers can't modify this behaviour?

Seriously, i would be grateful if someone could implement a fix to allow this.

I guess your only option is to make many alarms at time intervals, onre alarm going off every 1 minute.

Always wondered about deep sleepers like you, though! If my fridge makes the slightest odd sound in the night I usually wake up!

I created a cool sounding alarm and I wanted to wake up almost naturally instead of an annoying bell or chime. So my alarm starts with a minute or so of birds singing and gradually fades in with some relaxing tune before fading out.

Problem is it cuts out too soon and was surprised to find out that it can't play an alarm over a certain time limit.

Here's the alarm anyway:

Well, I have friend that woke up with the phone at the silent profile... just because of the vibration. But unfortunately that's not my case... you could break my door down and I would probably keep sleeping. because of this I asked for this feature.
