I am a pretty hard sleeper and the alarm clock on the phone just isnt loud enough. I was wondering if there is anyway to port it through the headphone jack where I can plug in a set of computer speakers and make it louder. If only I was a light sleeper. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have posted it before in Q&A and got very little response so I thought I would try the development section because that seems like the more suitable sub forum cause this just isnt as simple as going into settings to do this so I was looking for help from someone on the development side who knows about it more. But looks like you cant get a question read in that part cause it is moved within no time.

Have you tried to plug speakers into the phone while the alarm is going off? I don't see why that wouldn't work.

Also, you might want to see a doctor about your sleep problems. I have a sleeping disorder myself and I'm a heavy snorer, but I can still hear my phone alarm even when it's at the lowest volume. A friend of mine has sleep apnea and he stops breathing several times throughout the night. That doesn't really have anything to do with your issue necessarily, i'm just saying that sleeping disorders can be serious. I'd encourage you to talk to your doctor and possibly take a sleep study.

Well there is a purpose to why there are subforums for each section.

As for your question, do you always have it on full volume? My recommendation is just to get a loud alarm clock. My friends got me this old fashioned alarm clock and it does the trick. Scares the **** out of me every time.

I also use Gentle Alarm (if that's something you might be interested in). It can play at full volume for a long time if you want. I have it set to 40 minutes just in case. I also have a very annoying ringtone/alarm for all my alarms so that I actually do wake up.

I have had it plugged in and nothing came out the speakers when the alarm went off. And your right about needing to go to the doctor. A few people in my family have sleep apnea.

I have tried a regular alarm clock. My alarm click now is a modified monster. I have it wired in to two sets of computer speakers and I still sleep through it. The sound is to repetitive. Thats why my phone is ideal cause the different annoying tones.
