I had a similar query a few weeks back as I'm an early bird and my wife hates
mornings with the white hot passion of 1,000 burning suns. It's not unusual for
me to be up by 5:00 or 5:30 blind related sleep issues aside.
An Apple Watch was suggested to me, but I'm not interested in one. Much less
for this one particular feature and at that price. I ended up buying a
refurbished Fitbit Flex for something like $40.00.
It works fine and I can get up whenever I want without having to bother my
wife. She in turn has one of those wake-up light alarms which is fine for her
since she's sighted and this way, I'm not disturbed by her alarm.

Hi Ari,
And there are a number of relatively inexpensive Bluetooth wristbands out there
which will wake you up with vibration and I don't think that sort of vibration
will be as noticeable as when a phone vibrates especially if it is lying on a
hard surface such as a wooden night table.
Regards,
Sieghard

Yes, that is frustrating. I've long wanted to make the alarm volume low while
keeping the ringtone volume high. My husband is a very light slleeper, to the
point that a vibrating phone will wake him up. So finding something that will
disturb him as little as possible while waking me up at the same time (I'm a
rather heavier sleeper than he is, and even if I do wake up, am able to very
quickly fall asleep again if I do wake up from something making noise, my
husband doesn't find getting back to sleep easy) is very difficult.
Thanks,
Ari

You're suggestion made me very hopeful, but though I turned off the change with
buttons setting, the volume of the ringer seems to be tied to the volume of the
alarms. That is, if I leave the ringer volume low, and if I set an alarm for 1
minute, when the alarm sounds, it is presented at the same low volume as the
ringer. I'd really like the alarm to be loud but the ringer to be very quiet.
Thanks for any additional ideas.

You might be able to mess around with the ringtone volume and VoiceOver volume
(turn this on in the rotor). To get a good balance between loudness of
VoiceOver and your ringtone. Another thing I would suggest is turning off the
setting called change with buttons in the sounds area of the settings app. This
makes the ringtones stay at a constant volume, no matter what you do with your
volume buttons.
Thanks,
Ari

Hi all,
Is there a way of disabling the announcement of who's calling me when my
phone rings? As is, when the phone rings, I also get VoiceOver very
loudly
announcing the name of the person calling. Ideally, I'd like to simply
hear
the phone ring. Any tips or tricks are very welcomed. :)
