I have not used the alarms much on my phone because it makes too many other noises. If I set it to silent, the alarm does not go off. If I do not have it on silent, it is always beeping etc. to alert me of incoming mails etc. This wakes me up, so I usually go with the hotel clock radio. But I'd rather use the phone if possible. There must be a simple way to deal with this issue that is eluding me. Any suggestions?
