How can I get my vibration alarm and ring working?

[AC Question]

Vibration Alarm and Ring not working

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

I've missed my alarm the last two mornings and I now realise why > the vibration wasn't working. I have it set to Vibrate only (no Sound) as I don't want to wake my baby as well.

Tests today also showed that when I put it in Silent/Vibrate mode it doesn't vibrate when receiving calls either.

However when I select Silent/Vibrate mode it does the little vibrate feedback so its not like the vibrate feature doesn't work at all.

My wife's S6 Edge is doing the same thing.

My wife's S6 Edge is doing the same thing.

Alarms would no longer vibrate after 5.1.1 update. Solution on my end was to deactivate power saving mode.

Just checked and my power saving mode was off. That's why my alarm still works. Turned power save mode on and tested thre alarm and it didn't vibrate. Thanks for the tip!
