profiles - HTC Vox

Can i add more profiles to my device? Silent, vibrate, normal, etc.
Also, are there (good) software that enables time-controled profiles? Switch to a certain profile at a certain time.
Thank you.

[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 ...

Sound Profiles?

Is there an app of any sort that will add profiles (specifically for sound) like on Cyanogenmod?

You could make Tasker profiles.

Llama Location Profiles has audio profiles built in. Works well.

Does Llama do automatic time profiles? Say for example I want to mute my notifications when I go to bed, could I set it to mute notifications from 11 pm to 8 am, and consequently unmute notifications after that?
The most user friendly app for this would be Trigger. Try it out.

Does trigger allow calls to come through at night if on silent?

Are you asking because you want them to? You can set all the sound volumes separate. So all notifications can be muted along with the LED and still have ringer volume up. If that's what you are asking about. If you are wanting to block calls, I'm not sure. I havent tried that. Trigger does integrate with tasker though so theoretically, you can do whatever you want.
Tasker is certainly not super user friendly but I find it's very good for mimicking sound profiles. You can create your own buttons on your home screen to switch between profiles. You can also set it up so that if you're on silent but get a call from "priority" contacts your phone will still ring. If you get creative you can even set it up so that if someone calls multiple times fairly quickly the call will come through (you need to use stored values to accomplish this, but it's not too difficult).

Yes. It is an automation program first and foremost, sound profiles are controlled by whatever condition you set, otherwise you would need to keep opening the app and switching sound profiles manually.
Similar to other automation apps but easier to learn than Tasker and it's free with no ads.
I use it to toggle my phone settings and sound profiles automatically.

Per App Setting to Override Alert Slider Setting

Most of my time my phone is on vibrate, as I work in an office and don't want to disturb people. But in vibrate I don't get notifications if my phone isn't right next to me, like when it's plugged in to charge.
Is there a way without using xposed to allow certain apps (Accubattery, phone calls, messages, gmail priority, hangouts) to make a notification sound while the slider is in vibrate? I have an inkling it can possibly be done through a combination of DND and the slider, but am unsure on how I would configure it.
Thought or suggestions?
Edit: Also, possibly Tasker or Macro Droid could do it? If so, how?

Tasker shall be easy.
In Tasker create a profile - select apps you want to have sound.
Then in Task, make a new task and select audio and set it to whatever you want..
You are done!

It would be an pro's job but yeah I have seen people linking Tasker with each and every possible event going on your device. But I am not one.
Nitin bro?

Is this a bug or a feature?

I'll submit the question here as I think this is more kind of a debate rather than a question.
This is something I didn't get many answers neither from users nor xiaomi itself.
Prior to December 2019 my WhatsApp, telegram, signal, etc. calls were vibrating when Do Not Disturb was set up to:
When do not disturb is on - Allow calls - Allow from anyone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After that they stopped vibrating under this very same scenario which greatly affected the functionality of my device.
Now I asked WhatsApp personally about why it doesn't vibrate even if WhatsApp is set up to vibrate.
They said:
The vibrations that you find within WhatsApp work differently based on what type of device you are using. For all devices, if your phone is set to vibration mode and your WhatsApp vibration settings are off, the phone setting will override the WhatsApp settings. In other words, your phone will still vibrate or vice versa.
Note that manufacturers may have their own unique vibration settings that may interfere with the WhatsApp notifications. We have no way to control this from our end.

My settings are:
WhatsApp Calls - Vibrate - Default.
System settings - Sound - Vibrate for calls - On.

Given that whatsapp says that each manufacture does what it wants...
What is the right behaviour for this configuration? If they indeed introduced a bug, what can I do if they keep ignoring me?
I attached video proof of the current behavior.
I have been controlling vibration with tasker for a long time, because vibration does(did?) not respect DND, so to me it is a feature that I wasn't aware of.
I guess everyone has a different opinion on how things should work, but to me, DND means no sounds or vibration. If I wanted no sound but with vibration, then that is volume 0.

It's very well written on do not disturb settings that it will mute everything except the ones you allow!

Volume 0 would vibrate for messages too. My config makes the phone ring and/or vibrate only for calls. In fact DND can be customized to everyone's taste and works fine for regular phone calls when "allow all calls" is configured (they respect sound and vibration). The issue appears because third app calls respect the rules for sound but completely disable vibration.

Yes, indeed. In fact regular calls respect the exception like a charm for both volume and vibration. The issue is that third party app calls respect volume rules but stop vibrating altogether. To me it's a bug but I wanted to hear from others.

No silent mode toggle

Hi guys. I'm using the device for quite a while now (global, DE vodafone), and I am surprised there is no silent mode toggle. I can switch between vibration and sound, and also I can switch the DND, but I cannot and I do not see the way to turn on the silent mode. Anybody has a tip?
Yes you have to go into settings and unselect vibrate for silent
Afterwards you can push power and louder together to enable vibra temporarily. To switch back silent you just tip once louder and again silently.

For years I've used an app called Sound Profile Pro which allows me to set up however many sound profiles I want. It allows me to control volumes, DND, vibration, ringtones etc. It even can change Bluetooth and wi-fi status, screen brightness and more.
It lets me put a 1x1 widget on my home screen which, when pressed, gives me instant access to all the profiles I've defined. And, helpfully, it'll change the widget's appearance to always show whatever icon I've associated with the last chosen profile.
There is a free app, but the widget needs the pro version. Both are available in the Play store.

That make sense, however I wanted to avoid installing extra app for such an essential thing

Hi found this thread whilst trying to resolve this issue myself. Ended up contacting oppo on their live chat and you can edit your toggle menu by clicking on the button which looks like write/edit to the left of the settings button on the toggle menu.
