Alarm Tone Loop Delay

The other day, I made a custom ringtone loop and loaded it onto my iPhone. In iTunes, the loop sounded perfect; when I tried the tone as a ringtone, it also worked perfectly. However, when I try to use the same tone as an alarm tone, there is a short pause before the loop, which causes the tone to not loop seamlessly. Is there a reason for this, and is there any way I can fix it, such as editing the tone file?
I tried searching for this on the web, and I kept getting results either for online custom tone makers or the old iTunes ringtone maker.

Hi,
same problem here in the UK. Got the iPhone 4 in June...British Summer Time - BST - ended on Saturday night...our iPhones failed to wake us up this morning because although they had automatically updated to the correct time, the repeating alarms continued to think it was an hour later...
I wonder how much money companies will have lost this morning due to iPhone users turning up late for work! ;-/
I have called the UK iPhone support today (0844 209 0611), which costs £0.05 per minute if you are beyond the free 90-day support allowance...and they suggested resetting everything in settings! Or maybe doing a 'restore'. If you're reading this, please call the support line because when I rang they said they had not had any calls about the problem. So the more people who lodge a complaint, the more likely it is that Apple will do something to help us. Have you see forums elsewhere on the internet? It seems this is quite a problem for a lot of people.
Obviously this is not the end of the world but it is a slightly irritating bug

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Using song as alarm tone

    I have a Nokia 6710 Navigator. I have downloaded an mp3 onto my phone, which I want to use as my alarm tone. I have selected the song as my alarm tone, and at the set time the song begins playing.
    My issue is that, when playing as an alarm, only 1 minute of the mp3 plays.
    Is it possible to change the settings so that the whole mp3 file plays (approx 3 minutes) when I'm using it as an alarm?
    Thank you for your help

    So could anybody tell me then what length limitations the phones have?
    1 minute for the alarm, for the regular ringtone "unlimited" (e.g. a song with 5:00 length)?
    Is there any website with specifications/requirements for customisations/custom files (wallpaper/tehem/tone/etc.)?
    regards
    Pete

  • N82 Only default alarm tone

    I'm having the strangest problem: i can't change my alarm tone. I have a microSD card inserted, it has mp3s on it, the phone recognizes each and every one of them, i use some of them as ringtones etc. So everything seems to be working.
    However, when i want to change the alarm tone, i have only 3 options: default; download new; off. I've tried creating a new alarm, editing my current, changing the tone in Personalise-> Tones (same options). Nothing worked.
    Please, help me.

  • Nokia 3600 slide Alarm Tone

    I really like the default 'standard' alarm tone, and would like to use it as a ringtone (the tone that is used when you select "Standard" instead of "Radio" or "Open Gallery" or "Tone Downloads" in the alarm menu).  I cannot find that melody in the tones library as being available as a ringtone.  It seemed to me that it would be stored *somewhere* in the phone's memory, but I can't find it anywhere in the libraries.  
    Thanks in advance for trying to help!

  • Alarm Tone, Media Card Issues

    Purchased Curve 9360 about a week ago. Had memory card in my old Blackberry which I transferred and was working fine. Tried to put in a new memory card (wanted more storage), transferred things onto it, everything fine.
    Tried to change alarm tone to one of my songs but keep getting a message saying there is no music installed, go to blackberry.com/mediasync to find out how to sync music, which is no help whatsoever.
    I have tried clearing the memory, reformatting etc but it all works fine apart from the alarm. I can't understand why it wont recognize that there is music in the folder.
    If anyone is able to help, knows the answer I would be thankful, its been driving me mad as it worked with my old memory card when I first transferred (now wont work with any memory card).

    I don't know the answer... there could be one I am overlooking.
    But if your husband's card works perfectly in your BB, and your (bad) card works perfectly in his phone... well--isn't that the answer ?

  • Video as alarm tone

    Can I use a video clip as alarm tone in iPhone 5 ?

    Yes, check the App Store.
    Or DIY here using iTunes which is not hard to do:
    1. Select a title (.mp3 or .m4a) in your iTunes Library
    2. Do File > Get Info on selected title (Windows do Edit > Get Info)
    3. In the dialog choose Options tab
    4. Set Start Time and End Time (no more than 35 secs otherwise won't work)
    5. Close dialog.
    6. Now control click the title (right click) and choose Create AAC Version
    7. When it is done, drag the newly create title to the desktop.
    8. Delete the newly create title in iTunes.
    9. Rename the title on your desktop from ringtone.m4a to ringtone.m4r
    10. Drag and drop it into iTunes
    Now you have a ringtone.
    Make sure it is selected in iTunes for syncing with your new iPhone.

  • Best way to capture data every 5 ms (milli-seconds) in the .vi diagram when using "Time between Points, and Small Loop Delay tools" ?

    - Using LabView version 6.1, is there anyway to change the "Time Between Points" indicator of (HH.MM.SS) to only (mm.ss), or to perhaps only (.ss) ?
    - Need to set the data sampling rate to capture every 5 milliseconds, but the defaults is always to 20 or greater; even when the "Small Loop Delay" variable is adjusted down. 
    Thank you in advance.

    I have no idea what "Time between Points, and Small Loop Delay tools" is. If this is some code you downloaded, you should provide a linke to it. And, if you want to acquire analog data every 5 milliseconds from a DAQ board, that is possible with just about every DAQ board and is not related to the version of LabVIEW. You simply have to set the sample rate of the DAQ board to 200 samples/sec. If it's digital data, then there will be a problem getting consistent 5 msec data.

  • Nokia E51 - Can't set clock alarm tone

    Hey there people!
    My device is Nokia E51, and for some, bizarre reason, I can't set the clock alarm tone.
    When I choose the sub-menu "Clock alarm tone" a list of songs/audio files on the phone is supposed to load.... but nothing there. The phone doesn't even give me any options to choose from. I actually find this quite frustrating and annoying because I'm trying to do something very basic here.
    I've attached a capture.
    Thanks for helpers.

    Well the reason I asked about the large number of audio files is because it appears to be a common bug across many of nokias phones.   When you have a large number of audio files (either on the card or on the phone itself) the phone apparently gets 'confused' and is unable to load up the selection of ringtones or music files to use as a ringtone.
    The only solutions would be to either:
    1)  Delete songs until the ringtone menu goes back to normal
    2)  Do what you have done with copying it to the phone then removing the memory card to be able to select the file.. then reinsert the memory card
    Nokia just needs to get their act together. They should seperate ringtones from the music files.  This way when you go to select a ringtone.. it will ask to either choose a ringtone from a list.. or to select one of your mp3s from a list. This way keeping it seperate.  But that would be extra menus to navigate and people probably wouldnt like it.
    But if they did it that way then they could use the mp3 listings by album, artist, song title, etc to allow people to choose the music files they want as a ringtone.  It would be easier to do that then continually scroll through huge lists

  • 6233 low volume alarm tone

    I'm facing a problem with low volume of the alarm tone. In fact it is not reliable enough for waking me up !
    I know the alarm tone is ascending by default, but when it reach its highest level it is a bit lower than a ringing tone for incoming calls for example. That's mean it is very tender and hardly could be heard on a noisy streat and what about waking me up in the morning.
    Please let me know if it is possible to turn off the ascending mode of the alarm tone. There is such an option for the ringing tone of incoming calls, but not for the alarm alert. However, the ascending mode is not the problem, but the low volume of the alarm tone at all.
    Share your opinions and experience. Thanks in advance to all 6233 users.

    it is not possible to change the ascending feature on the alarm tone. what you can do is select another tone apart from the default tones. i use one of the defaults, can't recall which one it is, but its the loudest and it wakes me up on a morning. or you can try using radio or a full length song.
    everything happens for a reason
