Hello. Here is what I am looking for. So far I am very frustrated with my FUZE with this one feature.
I would like to have more control of the phone profile options like I used to have on my Blackberry phones. Basically I want to be able to make set custom profiles as I want them.
For example. With my old phone I was able to use an "advanced" feature in the phone profile section to create what I called a "Night" setting. When this setting was activated the entire phone was on silent (texts, emails, etc, everything was silent) EXCEPT the phone. The phone would ring if I received a call. So it was basically a "phone only" setting. This was perfect at night because I would only receive a call if it was a real emergency.
I KNOW that I can go into the Sounds and Notifications settings and turn everything off except the phone, but I have to do that manually and if I change phone settings everything goes back and I have to again manually do what I want.
I HAVE tried the Inesoft program and the spb phone suite. both have profiles built into them, but no way to do what I mention above with my "night" setting.
Is there a program/script/plugin that will accomplish this?
Thanks for any help with this.

If not, can you just tell me how to use the profile section of PA

I don't use MS, but doesn't it still allow Today plugins to run? I would imagine if the today plugin is running, it will work with MS, but it might be best to check out the SPB Club forum or the PocketMax Phonealarm forums...
Phone Alarm
I used phone alarm with my 8925, but can't get it to work with the fuze. my main use was setting the alarms since i use it for pages also. Can't get the alarm to go more than once.
Try gProfile
Search for gProfile. It's super handy, and... as far as I can tell, doesn't require a today screen plugin.
You should be able to find it fairly easily... using The Google. If not, PM me and I'll see if I can dig up where I found it. It was free...

I can't find a help file for HTC Home anywhere, and I don't think this has been posted... anyone know what the last ringer profile is in HTC Home? It says "Automatic" at the top but I have no idea what that means.
I think that u can specify when it changes from ring to vibrates based on day and time...cant work out how to set it up though. If someone who knows could explain would be awesome

I think that when this profile is selected the device vibrates during appointments defined in the calendar and rings otherwise. But I have never tested.

Yes, that's what it does.
It goes changes when you have an appointment that is set to busy and changes back when it's over.

Almost but not quite. It goes to vibrate whenever there is an (so any, not just busy) appointment in the calendar and goes back when not. The idea of an automatic profile is great but it's executed rather ****ty in this case. Whenever I have a birthday on my calendar for example, my phone will be on vibrate all damn day.
If someone knows a fix, please enlighten us.
I tried it today... I checked before class ended and it was on vibrate. After class ended it was still on vibrate... does it change over when a call comes in? I'd love to be able to rely on this but I don't need to impress my professors with Kanye West ringtones...
BTW: Does the phone have an "immediate silence" button like most do? I know on my Moto and Samsung phones the side buttons usually did the trick... immediately silence the ringer but still allow it to go to voicemail?

If you really want a function like that, you're probably better off with something like phoneAlarm or some other freeware. They tend to have more options as to how you want it to function.
I have a similar question - I always keep my Tilt set on "Vibrate", but when I enter a new appt. in Calendar, it switches by itself to "Ringtone", and I have to keep switching it back. Any suggestions about how to keep it on "Vibrate" would be greatly appreciated!
Hi,
has anyone yet got an answer to this!!
I also found the similar issue. I have lot of birthdays / holidays and other all day events in my calendar and automatic profile always goes to vibrate mode whenever I have any all day event in my calendar!!
Is there anyways I can set it to switch to vibrate only if my calendar status is busy and not for other events/appointments when status is not busy??
Thanks.

Unfortunately not with HTC Home. It's pretty stupid in its implementation of a very nice feature.
+1, I used a lot this feature on my smartphone where sound profiles were implemented by WM, but now I am on a pdaphone with htc manila 2D and I have the same problem: vibrate mode on any appointment, even if it's a free appointment. Too bad Maybe someone is able to write a small tool to perform automatic profile in right way? Or find any msdn doc so I could try to write it in with .NET... I've searched a little on how to switch the sound profile but with no success.

I've had similar experience - automatic profile is totally unreliable on every wm 5, 6, & 6.1 phone I've tried it on. Sometimes it works and sometimes it "forgets."

I think you'd better use the Spb phone suite. The automatic profiles from Spb works perfect on appointment (based on busy status of busy or out of office...). Also it provides the time based profile which will switch profile upon the setting time frame. I have used this software for almost 1 year and felt very happy with it.

Hi all,
I'm trying to get my phone exactly how I like it, and one of the last things remaining is phone profiles.
I don't want to use a plugin for the Today screen, but a seperate app that will pop up when asked and closed when finished.
So far I've looked at PPCProfiles-Pro, PhoneAlarm, and PocketZenPhone, but they all require me to use them as a plugin (except for PZP, which I just didn't like).
Does anyone have any suggestions? I just want to map it to one of the side buttons of my device.
Thanks
Morien
SPB Phone Suite's Today screen plugin can be disabled. I use it for auto profiles.
Thanks, but unless I'm missing something, that isn't really what I'm looking for.
I'm trying to keep my today screen clean (just have rlToday plugin with a big clock face on it) and want to make one of the side buttons open a profile manager where I can choose what profile I want (Loud, Normal, Silent, Vibrate, or what-have-you). Hell, I'd settle for the Comm Manager if that allowed me to choose Normal, Vibrate or Silent (seems to only allow Normal or Vibrate).
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
have you tried linking one of your buttons to PPCProfilesPopup.exe
You don't need to run it as a today screen plugin to select the profile.
One caveat, under WM6x PPCProfiles takes a few (5-10) seconds to completely apply the profile. This delay, plus the horrible UI keeps me searching for a better profile manager, but it's usable.
(Running PPCProfiles without the taskbar or today plugin prevents the auto profile from working, I don't care about this, so it doesn't matter to me, but full disclosure...and all that...)
Look at Pocket Zen Phone

Seems like PZP has been looked at and rejected.
My ATT Tilt is set to retrieve my e-mail every 15 minutes. When I use my "Alarms" to wake me in the morning I get awakened if I get a message or e-mail during the night. Is there a sound profile or something that would allow sound for just the alarm and silence the message notices? WM 6.1
I have read where phones with WM6.1 have this feature. Go to Settings->system->clocks & alarms. Go to the "more" tab. There should be a selection available to sound alarms even when device is set to silent or vibrate. Then you can set your phone silent and still get your alarm. Hopefully it is there. It is on this cooked one I'm using.
There is only one option under the more tab. it is "Display the clock on the title bar in all programs."
then just disable the notifications sounds for texts and email. my email notification is silent. and noone is stupid enough to send me a text in the middle of the night (except my sister on occasion when she gets drunk)

Not all ROM's have this feature..it depends upon the builds
take a look at phonealarm application if you want to have full control on your notifications/sounds/profiles etc.
Thanks. I looked at the ap. It's $25! I might try the trial version, but I don't think I want to spaend that much for such a minor annoyance.

u can download spb phone suite for free on xda.
im new to the touch pro seen since i have switched to the iphone from a polaris and tilt. i was wondering if there are any repeat alerts on the fuse for missed calls, vm, sms? i know that on the polaris and tilt, treo alerts along with mortscript worked...on the fuse i cant seem to get it to work...has anyone made a hack or cab for repeat alerts on the fuse...thanks in advanced...
yea ive been looking for repeat alerts for my SMS Tone, but when we go into settings, the BOX to check in "repeat alert" is Greyed out, so we can choose it
is this still unresolved?!
I use Best Reminder, mself.
Works a treat.
Thanks!! I will try that
for the record, I tried "Notification Repeat Enable.cab" but it didnt work on my fuze. The damn "repeat" check box in sounds & notifications remains grayed out and disabled.
It sounds like best reminder will do the trick for me, thanks
damnit, that one also doesnt meet my needs.
I need a repeating alarm for REMINDERs, i.e. tasks with alarms.
None of these seem to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRrrrrrrr
to top off my anger, "Best Reminder" doesnt have any method to uninstall it!!!!!!

Try Spb Pocket Plus.
Here is a quote from a review MobileTechReview did:
Reviewer @ MobileTechReview said:
One of the handiest features in Pocket Plus has to be the repeat alarm function. This fills a silly gap left by Microsoft in Windows Mobile. Not only does Pocket Plus enable repeat alarms, but you can specify any .WAV file to play and set the volume of the alarm independent of the system volume. That’s great for morning wake-up alarms while traveling when the sound may have been muted for meetings. Alarms may even ascend in volume, which is my favorite setting. If I’m in a loud location, the alarm will be heard when the volume reaches near maximum, but if I’m in a quiet area I can catch it early and avoid annoying everyone in earshot. Sweet.
Using the Settings tab, repeating alarms may be enabled for the built-in clock and/or for task alarms. You can set a minimum battery level below which the repeated alarm function will be disabled.

It's the second-last paragraph that you're probably interested in.

I hope this works for you!
Cheers!

Spb Phone Suite has to be one of the most awesome phone apps out there. I swear by it, m'self.
I don't use it any more because I use TouchFlo and don't want to bloat my device but for anybody that has disabled TouchFlo, the question is: why AREN'T you using Spb Phone Suite???
I agree with the previous post. I love SPB Phone suit and the features are out weight using the TF3D.
Anyway if you want the repeat download the a cab called "Notification Repeat Enable.cab" it will allow you to check the repeat Notification box. I tested and it works on my Att Fuze with HTC WWE Rom
I didn't know about a cab for this but I used the instructions Here and got what I needed. Worked fine for me.
Hi people.
I've spend a couple days searching and trawling around google and various fora (including these ones) but can't seem to find exactly what I want... which is:
I want to be able to disable email, SMS and MMS notifications at night when I'm trying to sleep. However I still want to be able to hear the alarm I've set to wake me up in the morning...
I realise I could do this manually through the "sounds and Notifications" menu in WM6 "settings", but its a right pain in the arse.
I've tried the PhoneAlarm free trial, but it doesn't let you switch off specific notification types like e.g. just email and SMS, but not general alarms.
Anyone got any ideas or can suggest a program. I don't need lots of bells and whistles and other unnecessary control features - just a quick way to set the profile to a setting that turns off email and SMS notifications, but keeps on alarms - I'm even happy to press a button for this each night and don't mind if it doesn't automatically switch at my preferred time.
thanks in advance for any help guys.
ps. I'm running stock O2 WM6.0 UK ROM - I've never changed it... so please, please, please don't tell me I need to upgrade the ROM to 6.1 I'm way too busy and need my phone and pda working at all times to be dealing with flashing a new ROM and re-installing all my progs and entering email settings etc...

I use a timed silent profile that switches back to normal before the first alarm of the day
hi
use spb phone suite for this, it allows you to switch. There are other programs that do this that may be free but i cannot for the life of me rememeber they were i somewhere on here i think... someone started a thread on it
and for alarm use g-alarm as its by far the best out there, if your not already using it that is
