Can i make my phone ring itself ? - General Topics

Is it possible to have a function based on time or event that will trigger my phone to ring. Typically I want to be able to make it look like my phone has received a call so that i can leave the room or end a conversation!!

Just set an appointment for a certain time and choose a ring tone for the notification. Easiest way IMO

I cannot find anywhere (in Calendar) to attach a sound to a notification ?

scheduling software to control phone

Hi,
is there any app available that alows me to schedule a number of operations on my phone?
for example, I can set peak hours for push email on my phone, however this only allows for a single period. When I'm at work, I have my phone on silent as the constant beeping as emails are recieved would be annoying, but then this does mean that I might miss phone calls as I'm not always looking at my phone and don't see it light up. So having two periods of "push" activity would be useful.
Or, how about switching Push off if my phone is on silent. That way when I'm at work and am receiving emails on my PC, the TP isn't using the battery by also receiving emails?
anything like that out there that would let me set almost limitless options? switching other things on/off when the phone profile changes? or scheduling things to happen at more then 1 point in the day?
thanks
have a look at phone alarm (www.pocketmax.net). Allows you to schedule profile changes depending on time, location etc. Can also enable/disable push mail settings, wifi, bluetooth, sound volumes, ring tones, notifications etc for each profile.
You could have it setup so that whilst you are at work, push mail is deactivated, ringtones etc set to a mid level and a standard ring. When leaving work, push mail is enabled together with a change in the ring tone and volumes.
I think it allows you to set up 10 different profiles which can be switched manually, time based, or using location data (cell data or gps). It has a 15 day trial, so have a play andsee if it does what you want.
^^ looks similar to CommMgrPro but I don't think either will work if you're not on a GSM network. Any location based profile changer for CDMA phones? I guess I should really make a seperate thread for this.
Should work fine on non-gsm. If you can't schedule by cell tower id, here are your options:
1. set up a "work" profile. ..choose the items you want to be notified of - or not and how you want to be notified.
2. set the automated switching...that can be done by cell tower, ID, WiFi SSID, time,day or category status. Say you want the phone to ring between noon and one only and silent the rest of the work day...you can make that happen.
Say you don't want your phone to "harvest" e-mails until 5:15 pm - but not on Saturday or Sunday - you can make that happen.
Say you want the phone's alarms and sound to be loud when you drive in the car, but with a bright backlight during daylight driving and a dim backlight during nightime driving...phoneAlarm will do it.
that you manually switch to in the office. You can mute all the calls, alarms, message notifications - or just some. Soft sounds, no sounds vibrate...

[REQ] App to override silent mode for certain contacts

I've been searching for an app that will allow me to designate specific contacts or groups to override silent mode. For instance, I love sleep. I don't get enough of it. BUT, my girlfriend or boss or family need to be able to get a hold of me, so when they call or text it will notify me, even in silent mode. I believe Blackberry's have a feature like this.
this gave me the idea

Ideas?
There is an app called auto ring that will do that. I use it for the same reasons

Just tried it. Perfect!
i use foxyring, lets you set sleep hours, auto silencing, emergency contact list that can ring thru sleep hours with special ringtones. It can even do location based audio profiles. want your phone to auto switch to vibrate when you walk into work? it can do that. It even audio samples your current environment and adjusts your ringtone based on the ambient noise in the area you are located.

I love this app, but I wish it could do something else though, and having a hard time trying to search on it.
Just like Auto ring allows for certain contacts to override the state of the phone, I would like certain APPS to be able to override the state of the phone, for example, I would like my weather app to send its notification sound when weather alerts come out, regardless if the phone is on silent or vibrate ...
Sorry for hijacking the thread ...

[APP] [IDEA] [REQUEST] Do Not Disturb

I use my phone as my alarm clock. I keep it chargeing on my bedside table. I do not have a house/landline so this is my only option for communication.
It would be nice if at night, when I'm sleeping, i can set my phone (via app or setting) to a "do not disturb" type state.
In this state, i would basically like all phone calls routed to a special voice mail, that will state to the caller that i am unavailable, and to leave a message. However if it is an emergency, give the caller an option to bypass the do not disturb state and actually ring my phone.
Same with Text Messages. I would like all text messages intercepted, and responded to via text in the same fashion, with the same option for the caller to bypass the do not disturb state and actually ring/notify me of the call/text etc.
And of course, put all other notifications to silent mode etc.
Then in the morning, i can check all notifications, phone, text etc, and see what i missed.
I hope i explained this well enough.
I would like to be able to sleep without interruption, but if something important happens, or an emergency happens, i can still be gotten a hold of.
there is an app called silent time lite that I use, it wont route your calls or anything, but between the times you states the phone will go into silent mode (vibrate or not, you decide) you can also have exceptions like if your mother calls at 3 am or something. Its free in the market, i use this app for school, put my schedule in there and it automatically muted my phone for classes

Hmm, exceptions for contacts eh? Might be the next best thing if i cant find, or someone create an app that'll do the other stuff.
Thanks for the suggestion, ill look into it.
uh... How about... AIRPLANE MODE
I like the stshannon's idea : this kind of "filter" people can "bypass" only for emmergency...I've been loking for that for long time !
@nopenope : the aireplaine mode doesn't allow this kind of redirection I think...
timerriffic is awesome and free. once you've got your profiles all setup you can set what goes off, volume, vibrate etc... I use it to turn off notifications at night but ring my phone at 100% when I'm "on call" for work or 40% when i'm not.
different day settings too, m-f and weekends.

[Q] Looking for

I'm trying to find a Profile Manager App that will let me silence my phone, but still allow my phone to ring only when certain contacts call me.
WHOISIT looked to be promising, but my VIP's don't ring and after I take my phone off Silent, all of the volumes stay minimized.

Child Alert, Tracking, Safety App.

Hi
My daughter is forever putting her phone on silent and forgetting to reset it when she's out.
Are there any apps that will do any of the following:
Allow us to track her ?
Make calls from selected numbers ring even if the phone is on silent ?
Any other suggestions ?
Thanks
Bad form to reply to myself.
AutoRing looks good:
Auto Ring enables you to put your phone in vibrate or silent mode for that important meeting, but still get emergency calls and texts from people you designate.
Auto Ring lets you white list contacts and phone numbers you want to ring while silencing everyone else. With Auto Ring enabled and your phone in vibrate or silent mode you choose who can break into your important meeting or interrupt your sleep.
