I’ve noticed that the alarm volume on my Galaxy S24 FE keeps going down automatically after some hours, even though I set it to maximum. Media volume limit is off, and all adaptive sound and bedtime options are disabled. This issue causes missed alarms and seems to happen repeatedly. Please check if there’s a system bug and provide a fix or an option to lock alarm volume permanently.
Thank you for contacting us and sharing your concern regarding the alarm volume issue.
Please follow the troubleshooting steps below to address the problem. After completing all steps, check whether the issue has been resolved or if it still exists.
It appears that the issue with your alarm volume on the Galaxy S24 FE automatically decreasing is likely a software bug within the Samsung system software (One UI). While Samsung does not provide a setting to “lock” the alarm volume permanently, you can try several troubleshooting steps to mitigate or fix the issue.
Potential Fixes and Troubleshooting Steps:
1. Check for an Active Bixby Routine Bixby Routines can sometimes unintentionally alter system settings, including volume.
Open Settings > Modes and Routines.
Navigate to the Routines tab.
Look for any active routines that might run at specific times (e.g., morning or night) and check if they include actions related to volume control.
Disable any suspicious routines.
2. Verify Bedtime Mode Settings Even if general bedtime options are disabled, specific settings within Bedtime Mode may interfere.
Go to Settings > Modes and Routines > Sleep (or Bedtime Mode).
Ensure all advanced settings that alter volume, sound, or Do Not Disturb are turned off.
3. Wipe the Cache Partition Corrupted system cache files can cause various glitches after software updates. This process is safe and does not delete personal data.
Turn off your phone.
Connect your phone to a computer via USB cable.
Press and hold the Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously.
Release the keys when the Samsung logo appears to enter Recovery Mode.
Use the volume keys to navigate to Wipe cache partition and select it with the power button.
Confirm by selecting Yes.
Select Reboot system now when finished.
4. Reset App Preferences This resets all app settings to default without erasing your data, which can resolve conflicts caused by previous configurations.
Go to Settings > Apps.
Tap the three vertical dots (More options) in the top-right corner.
Tap Reset app preferences and confirm.
5. Use a Third-Party Alarm App (Temporary Workaround) If the built-in Samsung Clock app continues to fail, installing a highly rated alarm app from the Google Play Store (e.g., Alarm Clock Xtreme or Google Clock) may provide a temporary solution until Samsung issues a permanent fix.
