All smashed UP. How do I wake up tomorrow? Need answer fast.

December 11, 2013 6:12 PM

Have a second gen UP, UP24/7 on order. iPhone 4s, iOS 7.

Can't wake bedmate up, have to get up an hour earlier. In the past when I set my timer on my iPhone and put in earbuds, I get the alarm in my ears and my phone externally.

Is there some way to disable this? Even with the ringer off I get it externally.

Am I sleeping on the couch tonight?

Response by poster: not clear sorry - I messed up my old up vibrating alarm and the new one is not here yet.

Use an audible alarm but put the phone under your pillow?

What about this app that turns on a light for the alarm?

Best answer: It will vibrate only (no sound from earbud or speakers) if you turn the ringer all the way down (under Settings-->Sound.)

Best answer: Settings > Sounds > Vibrate on Silent. Turn it off. I tested this with my iPhone (5s) in silent mode and I only got the alarm audio, no vibration.

Response by poster: I went with low audio on the earbuds (music to drown out nocturnal nasal seranade) & vibe in my pocket & just woke up every hour on my own obsessively checking the time. (Yawn). Thanks.
