Please read again #27. It is all explained there.
Summing it up, if you choose an Alarm sound and put your phone in the normal silent it still plays. It doesn't play if you choose a Ringtone or Notification sound. This is Android behaviour not ours.

correct me if i'm wrong. boilr is set to be silent if we silence the
cellphone right? While you sleep you may want silent cellphone for all
sms and phonecalls but still want your boilr alarms to wake you up.there could be an option on the general settings and an individual
option on the advanced options of each alarm, when on, boilr would
sound even when in silence. maybe a special icon should be in the
status bar while this is activated.

"The most common case is putting the phone in silent mode. What Android does is setting the Notifications and Ringtones volumes to zero, but keeps Alarm at a loud value. Thus, if you have low significance alarms in Boilr, set to a Notification or Ringtone sound, they will be muted. On the other hand, the important ones to which you have assigned an Alarm sound will play as usual. Android also has a "hard" silent mode, which sets all volumes to zero, including Alarms."
yes! my bad, it's perfect the way it is!

I will add a small text to the top of the Alert Type list preference remembering people about this. Most users know that Android has 3 independent sound channels because they have seen them in the volume settings. Yet they won't figure out that they are used by Boilr according to the Alert Type they choose.
Please help me summarize the following sentence.
"Check your Android volume settings. Boilr uses the system volume for the selected Alert type. On most phones the Alarm type is at full volume even when the phone is set to silent."

it's not clear enough. that wouldn't help me understand what's involved in this. let me see if i understand:
alarm - always plays, even when in silence mode
alert & notification - only play when the device has sound enabled
right?

Right but only if you kept the default Android settings. That is why we need to point the user to her Android settings. She might have changed them and it won't work that way.

what about creating a shortcut to system sound options?
from boilr.
That plus a sentence explaining that Boilr uses the system settings should work. Will try it.
