Never used an alarm app any recommendations? The volt alarm sounded for 1 minute and I slept right through it. I miss my triumph rooster.

I would suggest changing the alarm sound to something that would wake you up like the rooster tone, and make sure the volume on the alarm is all the way up. You can use something like Zedge to download the rooster tone.
 
I use Timely as my alarm. Other alarm apps probably have similar features, but it sounds until you respond to it, you can set the alarm to always sound at max volume, save multiple alarms which are easily customized, and there is even a problem solving option. Plus, the alarm and timer screens are beautiful and you can set it to show while charging or docked.

That's one app, but there are many others in the Play Store. Looking through them should find some good options for you to use.
 
i use the alarm app.... but for 4 years I been waking up with the apple iphone/touch ship sinking alarm tone.... so I just found that and added it in to the phone... I also make it longer so there is no way it can play long enough to not wake me up
 
I use an app called zedge which has a large library of ringtones, notifications, and wallpapers. It is a good place to go looking for sounds.
 
My (stock) alarm for some odd reason wont go off, well at least the first one... So I set up like 4 different alarms at 15 minute intervals. Also I began to use "Sleepbot" more. Its a better alarm, keeps track of your sleeping habits, gives you a 15-30min window to wake up (when it detects motion the alarm will go off), that can be disabled obv, but that alarm hasn't failed me.

And its free.
 
i have the same problem.
what i do is i set up multiple alarms.
in a span of two hours.
for example i want to wake up at 11
i have one set up at
9:20
9:40
10:00
10:20
10:30
10:40
10:55

and the LG volt has an option for a puzzle to stop the alarm.
that would definitely get your mind getting up before your body.
(love the puzzle feature.)

Yea i definitely dig the puzzle feature. Along with the "open a specific app" feature. Although it's limited, I like looking at the weather when I finally decide to wake up lol
 
I actually use the Tunein Radio app as my alarm, setting the music channel I want to wake up to and the duration I want it to play. I can also set the volume it will play at. The music app XiiaLive also gives the option of a fade in time.
