Hi,
I previous windows OS, there was an option to set the ringtone to vibrate automatic when I have a calendar appointment.
Does this feature still exist in windows phone 7?
Edit: One more question.
When I make a phone call, I can start typing the first letters in of the name I calling, and a list of matching names come up. Does this feature exist in WP7 also?
Calendar Appointment, I think it does that.
Smart dial
No, not at the moment.

I think the OP meant that the phone automatically turns the phone on silent/vibrate when you have an appointement/meeting, not that it vibrates to notify you of a meeting.
Is that right?

Yes! Thats right.
Does it turn the phone to vibrate during an appointment.
So anyone figured it out? Got so used to it in WinMo, can imagine just forgetting to silence the device before meeting :-/

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?

Thanks for correcting me. It's been a while since I've used it.

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.

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.
Is there a way, or a software I can get, that barrs selected phone numbers?
I would want it to work so that phone does not even ring when number I put to black list calls it should just put it to voice mail. Kind off like a anti spam software for phone calls.

I like to keep my phone on vibrate when Im home. The thing is, there is one contact that I always gotta answer to. Always. Is there a way for me to get my phone ringing when he calls even if the phone is on vibrate or silent mod?

If you install Lightflow
you can set up a profile for that contact to override vibrate/silent mode and volume/ringtone etc

I don't have CM ROM I use stock, so unless anyone else knows any options for you that's the only one I can think of off the top of my head.
So, me and my friend both have the oneplus 7 pro from t-mobile. My phone is rooted and his is not. Recently, we've both encountered the issue of setting our phones on vibrate via the slider on the device then, only to find, our phones will still ring. We're both on the latest 9.5.13. Anyone have
recommendations on how to fix the problem?
You want no ring, slide the switch up again to silent

That's not the correct answer! When I slide mine up to vibrate my phone does not ring...it only vibrates like its supposed to. When you slide it up to the top it doesn't ring or vibrate...like its supposed to. I do not know why theirs is not working properly but your comment is just wrong.

Well too bad.
On mine bottom it rings, middle vibrate only "no ring" and top neither.
It your devices are not working contact One Plus
Is contacting the manufacturer the right answer ?
The issue may be with the sms app you're using. I remember google's message app and the default OnePlus sms app had different behaviour for me

The same way you're experiencing, I would set the slider to the middle position for vibrate but the device would still ring for text messages. This is the reason I switched back to the default messaging app.
Try changing apps and see if it's any different.
