How Do I Change The Alarm Tone on an LG G4?

Hello. I just got my G4 yesterday and was setting up the alarm clock so I would wake up for work this morning. I've noticed that there is no option to change the alarm tone. Is this a bug in the new OS? If I go to the "timer" page, it does have an alarm tone option there. It's running Android 5.1. Peculiar. Also note... I have the GPad X83 and it has the exact same issue. I need a louder alarm tone!!! Please help!

Yes finally got it changed. Once you set the alarm time, you can scroll down below the Repeat section (that shows the days in square boxes). You scroll down below that area. But for some reason, it won't actually scroll unless you put your finger below that faint horizontal line. Very weird. Hope this helps.

Do you use an alarm widget? Have you tried looking in various other places? Like sounds or notifications? Or under the alarm when you set it?

I tried everything you mentioned. I even went back to the Verizon Wireless store where I purchased the phone. They scratched their head and had no idea. They tried to get a hold of the LG rep to ask him but he didn't answer.

Not sure what the alarm app looks like on your phone, but when you select the alarm (as if you were setting the time) right under the days of the week used to set the repeat, should be a little alarm icon, with the tone name next to it. Or, you always have the option to install a different alarm app from the Play Store that has the funtionality that you want.

You have to scroll down when editing or creating an alarm. Took me a while to find this because at first attempt the app would not scroll down

It's been answered above but wanted to add how incredibly annoying & time consuming it was to find this! -not intuitive

I also won't let me disable any downloaded apps.

RWF59, I had the same question and finally figured it out. You either have to have an alarm time set or if not create one. Then place your finger on the Blue shaded area at the top and slide it down to the white area below then swipe your finger back up in one motion and it will display a menu. Waalaa, you can now adjust your alarm and volume. What I don't see is any way to use the Verizon sounds to be the alarm but who cares. I can select a song from my music library to be my eye opener.
