How does your Incredible wake you up?

I use a regular alarm clock and not my phone.

The bonus with the clock is that I only have to wave my hand in front of it to snooze the alarm for 10 minutes. Motion sensors rock.

The only time my phone wakes me up is when I'm on call and I get paged for an issue. When that happens, I get rousted out with:

"Surely you can't be serious?"
"I am serious, and don't call me Shirley."

:D
 
I use alarm clock xtreme. It has a ramp volume setting, the sound gets louder when the alarm goes off for a while. Plus you can set it to "shake to snooze" but I don't use that. My girlfriend really appreciates the ramp option since it gently, but still quickly wakes me up but doesn't annoy her.

Not quite sure I like Alejandro yet... Of course, the rest of The Fame Monster is great. I hope Lady Gaga doesn't get too "popped" out. She has genuine talent.

As for the alarm, I just use the stock Clock app and the "Light" alarm sound.

+1 I usually have an issue with alarms... I sleep right thru them.. "Light" seems to be the perfect combination of pitch and annoying to always get me up... <3 Incredible :D
 
I use the app good morning. Wakes me up instantly...tells me the time, date, weather, and plays You should have killed me when you had the chance by a day to remember!

It's a free app too! look it up.

wow....I'm going to have to look into this.
I found out when it's a song that I like, I usually just let it play and I stay in bed. So now I'm just using the stock sound for the alarm.
5:40 Monday - Friday :mad:
Can't wait for school to start back, no more work and having most of my classes in the afternoon ftw
 
Most of my mornings proceed as follows:
-Alarm set for 6:00am

-Wake up in a panic thinking I overslept at around 5:52am
Realize that one or both of my 6 month old twin girls are crying and that's what woke me. Try to go back to sleep for the next precious 8 minutes, but by then the dog has been disturbed by me rolling around and he gets up and stretches (once he stretches, it's all over. He's up). Well naturally if the dog is up, I MUST be up.

-5:53am dog proceeds to lick face, feet, or anything that is exposed from the covers.

-5:55am, girls still crying...go into their room and begin to re-position them (they don't eat until 7).

-6:00am alarm goes off while I am in the girls room, and wakes up my wife who hates me for having the alarm set so early. She hits snooze with one eye opened.

-6:02am I put on shorts, and shirt and proceed to bathroom, then down stairs fill feed the animals. My cats try to trip me on every step, because that's the cool thing to do when you're a cat.

-6:05am I pour my coffee into my thermal cup, and proceed to look for my sneakers. It's a crap shoot. They are supposed to be by the door where I left them last, but who knows where my wife put them.

-6:08am one of the girls starts fussing again.

-6:09am I calm her down with pacifier and a little pat on the butt.

-6:10am ALARM AWAKES FROM SNOOZE...waking both babies, I hastily reach for phone in pocket, and shut off alarm. But my wife heard all of this thru the monitor in our room at full volume and she still hates me.

-6:15am back downstairs making bottles for the girls. Leave them on the counter.

-6:20am me and dog go to park.

-6:50am return from park, find wife with both girls. Both of them are already bathed and are now eating the aforementioned bottles. Wife throws me dirty look.

This happens give or take a few line items almost every morning. I wouldn't trade this wake-up call for the world. P.S.- My wife doesn't actually hate me, its more like a morning crankiness, if you come near me I will hurt you, sort of feeling towards me. By 7:15am she is cheery again.
 
Mine wakes me up by screaming "Don't you dare trade me for a Droid X!"

Actually, we have cats. They're the most reliable alarm clock I've ever had because they're always hungry at 6:30 AM.

OT, but she already is. Her behavior in public is ridiculous; flipping off fans just for taking pics of her, demanding specialized treatment, it's ridiculous. Even Jerry Seinfeld agrees, lol..

Its amazing how much can happen in such little time...

I feel your wifes pain lol. When my Inc gets a day off, usually the boyfriend is up before the crack of dawn. It makes me want to go on a murderous rampage, some days. Others I will get up and deal.

But all in all, enjoyed your post!
 
i'm sorry, alarm clock? what's that? try having a 4 year old son, that's all the alarm clock you need, mister. most mornings he gets up and crawls into bed with me, so i guess i have a walking, talking alarm clock. no fancy gadget phone required.
 
I change my alarm pretty regularly, but right now it's What Sarah Said by Death Cab for Cutie. I usually pick songs with mellow intros so that I don't fall out of bed haha.

I appreciate how it shows exactly how many hours before it goes off when you set it. It prevents dumb mistakes, like switching am and pm.
 
Ah the days of little children waking me up....now mine are both teenagers and sleep in waaayyyyy longer than I do :)
 
I have a 6 month old Jack Russell Terror, named Chloe..... She wakes me up exactly every morning at 10:14am.....
I pretend like I'm deaf or dead but she knows I'm not......... Brush teeth, grab DInc, check SMS & missed calls while standing in the blazing heat (why does it get so hot so early in ATL???) waiting for her to potty...... Check voice mail only bill collectors no job prospects, get depressed go back inside.
Put puppy back in crate & mentally curse her out b/c she didn't really have to go potty..........
Snuggle w/ DInc fall back to sleep.....................
11:53- Puppy whines......... Repeat............. Then actually get up for the day......

She really needs to find somewhere else to sleep.......... I'm nocturnal and I keep her up all night and she still WAKES me up... I'm not friendly in the morning....... >_<
 
I'm sure there is a very simple answer to this but I cannot figure it out!
Does anyone know how to make it so the Incredible doesn't vibrate while playing your alarm? I would like it to vibrate at other times, like when I get a call or a text, but I can't figure out how to make it not play during my alarm clock.

Any idea?

When you're in the set alarm menu, scroll up and uncheck vibrate at the bottom of the menu.
