Alarm clock sound not changing

Keneda

@ian
Just tested on N5 (still on OTA17) and that just works fine.

Ian

@keneda Out of the box sounds works OK for me. Give it a go on your old Nexus 5 to see if it works on that.

I just tried setting a user defined sound from a track in my music folder and setting that as default sound.

Weird result. It appears to work but there is no sound. I'll have a delve.

@ian see above ^^

Ian

@keneda Dam you type faster than me!

Ian

@keneda So not being able to set the default alarm sound could be a Meizu MX4 problem?

If I set the default sound to a custom sound then set an alarm I get a silent alarm. If I then set the default sound to a pre defined sound but select the custom sound when setting an alarm then it works OK???

Maybe a MX4 problem, or maybe subsequent to some apt things i did for helping dev purpose, i don't know.

Ian

@keneda is there anyone else out there with a Meizu MX4 that could give this a try?

Keneda

@ian
I hope so lol, MX4 are old, not a lot device remaining i guess, but this device is rock solid so there are some out there i know

At least now i have updated my N5 to OTA22

@keneda does changing a spesific alarm sound works?

Keneda

@darkeye
No it doesn't.

Alarm sound stays "alarm clock" whatever i do.

@darkeye
Edited my post, sorry for not understanding you first time, english is not my langage so i'm not good to recognize misspell.

Keneda

Nobody here with a MX4 to test so i know if it's device specific or my device only ?

@keneda Hello. I've tested to change the alarm sound in a new one. That worked.

I have changed the default sound to Bliss.
Created a new alarm and it played Bliss.

Changed again to Array mbirra, created new alarm and played it when alarm went off

@cibersheep
Wow, i can't believe i didn't see that....
Created a new alarm and that's it, it play the good alarm sound !

The fact i tried to clear data of clock app, uninstall, and reinstall app, then see that alarms previously set were still there should have made me understand once set, one alarm stays the same as when it was created.

You even made me understand that we can set alarm sound individually for each alarm set, even after creation !

So thank you, i learned something very usefull : i'm so noob...

I mentioned earlier in this thread:

If I set the default sound to a custom sound then set an alarm I get a silent alarm. If I then set the default sound to a pre defined sound but select the custom sound when setting an alarm then it works OK???

Is anyone else seeing this? This is on a Volla Phone X at OTA 22.
