I do have PhoneAlarm installed, but I can't find a way to stop this.
The two most disruptive things my phone will do:
Alert me to a missed call after I've chose to Ignore it.
Alert me to a reminder after I've dismissed it (but only at it's start time)
The later is always bad when right as a meeting or appointment starts, my VoiceCommand fires off reading a lengthy subject with "Starting Now".
Anyone had this problem, or know how to stop it?
Turn off voice notification reminders for calender objects... It's under Start - Settings - Personal - Voice Command IIRC.
Sorry I should have been more specific. It's not just voice reminders, it's any reminder, tone, vibrate. And I want to keep the voice reminders.
I just want them to go off when I have a reminder set or when I really miss a call.
NOT at the meeting start time after I have already dismissed the reminder, or after I have selected Ignore to an incoming call.

This is something that has been bugging me for a while with Windows Mobile...
If I set an alert sound for New Text Messages for instance, and it's a long sound, then the whole thing gets played even if I open the text, or dismiss the notification. Most other phones shut up as soon as you perform some action. Is there any way to get WM to not play the whole alert sound if I've responded to the alert?
My TP2 stopped making any notification of incoming text messages or e-mails. I thought that incoming e-mail/ sms was controlled by the sound control, and that when we turned single volume off, we were setting one volume for ringing and another for system.
Silly me, I thought that System was e-mail and SMS message. But it looks like it is only things like low battery. Am I correct?
Where the heck is the control for e-mail volume. Also, I am trying to make distinctive rings for some individual e-mails. I have been able to go into an individual contact, edit contact, and then go to ringtones. But will that give me an individual ringtone when they call, or can I also get an individual alert when they text or e-mail me.
Then net of my problem now is that e-mail reception is silent. Then when I get the sound back I want to know if it is possible to get individual alerts.
Thanks.
Settings>Sound>Advanced>
make sure Events and Program Notifications are checked.. and go into Notofications and go through the pull down menu and make sure new email and new txt and new mms have sounds selected and checked "play sound"
Thanks. I did not make it deep enough into Notifications.

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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
Never forget again by reminding yourself in your own voice with Audio Reminder Pro.
Use Google Wear to record, schedule, play, or cancel reminders.
Utilizing Google Now alarms you can create your Audio Reminder without ever needing to type with your device.

Be woken up with a daily reminder in a loved one's voice.
Reminders play directly on your device's speakers when autoplay is enabled.

Need a few more minutes? Just snooze the reminder.
Nothing reminds you better than yourself.
With Audio Reminder Pro you record an audio message and have it play back after a scheduled time or when arriving/leaving a location.
Forget me not.
Audio Reminder Pro was created when I finally got tired of having an idea or plan while in the car only to forget it by the time I got to my destination. I was constantly plagued with thoughts of "There was something I wanted to do, but what was it." With Audio Reminder Pro I simply tap the Audio Reminder widget, say the idea, and in 30 minutes (or however long I decide) Audio Reminder Pro plays my message back to me over my speaker to remind me. If I'm still not ready for the reminder then I can snooze or reschedule it for a later time.
Use the widget to track the reminders scheduled to go off today, view, edit, cancel, or create new reminders quickly and easily. Now that it has Android Wear support you can handle almost every function directly from your watch. Record a reminder on your watch and schedule it for a few hours from now. If you forgot something you can append the recording from within the Audio Reminder Pro app itself.
Audio Reminder Pro was created to take the place of the original Audio Reminder. It has all of the original features plus much more. Quite literally the app so nice I made it twice.
Location based reminders are still in beta.
Some of the features include:
Google Wear specific functionality such as recording, naming, rescheduling, cancelling, dismissing currently playing reminders, and replaying current reminders.
Date picker for long term scheduling
Interval picker for scheduling a reminder after a designated amount of time
Location (beta) reminders for reminding yourself to buy eggs the next time you are near the grocery store or to say happy birthday the next time you are at your friends house
On call protection: Reminders do not play if you are on a phone call or VOIP call and will instead reschedule themselves every two minutes until you are off of the call
Optional reminder repeat audio reminder until the reminder is dismissed or snoozed
Multiple language support (translated via machine translations so likely to be incorrect at times all your base are belong to us)
Ping tones based on your devices notification sounds
Optional Vibration
Configurable Recording length (Up to 60 seconds although reminders can be appended repeatedly within reason)
Search for audio reminders by name
Save or share your audio reminder reminder audio
Advertisements can be enabled or disabled at whim *sniff*
Audio Reminders can be appended repeatedly as needed
Toggle automatic playing of recording or simply get notified that the reminder is ready to be played
Per reminder options for using popup, notifications, or auto play so you can avoid any embarrassing reminders being automatically played when you are not ready for them
Location search using Google places
Use the volume keys to mute a reminder quickly if you need to

Mounted memory card (SD Card) is required for creating and reading of reminders
GPS and internet is required if you desire to use the location based reminders
Permissions:
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION / ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION (used in the creation of location based reminders)
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE / INTERNET (used for address lookup when searching for locations using a location based reminder)
READ_CONTACTS (used in creation of location based Reminders when you select your contacts list to provide an address)
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED (Reminders need to be rescheduled each time the device is restarted)
RECORD_AUDIO (used for recording your reminder)
VIBRATE (optional vibration when reminder fires)
WAKE_LOCK (used with the Reminders to ensure the device is woken up on it's scheduled time to remind you)

The video displays some data from an older version and has come a long way since then
As I am a new user I cannot post a link to my Audio Reminder Pro. It can, however, be found on Google Play here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brandon.audioreminderpro
Please let me know what you think. All forms of feedback is welcome.

I upgraded to an Android 11 phone. I've been using Pimlical Calendar for years and I depend on the alarms to remind me about appointments. I do this in Calendar by setting alarms for the new appointment. I like that in the past I couldn't ignore these notifications. They remind me "you have a meeting in 1 hour", you have a meeting in 30 minutes, etc. This works because I have the reminders vibrate and I wear my phone in a belt holster. So they really interrupt what I'm doing and I have to look at what it's reminding me of. I seem to remember that maybe this won't work in Android 11. And now I see that those reminders trigger an innocuous Notification which I can see on Swipe-Down. Those unobtrusive Notifications will not be good enough. I've already had a couple of alarms only set off a notification, and I missed them. Is there a workaround, I need very annoying vibrating appointment reminders.
