I'm a new Atrix owner coming off a BlackBerry. I'm trying to figure out a way to set up ring profiles like the Blackberry had. Anyone know how to do that or if there is an app for it?
For example, on the Blackberry...a few profile types...
Loud: I could set volume high and set special tones for ringer, email, text, etc.
Phone Only: I could set a ring tone for ringer and everything else is silent.
Normal: I could set a different set of tones for ringer, email, text and set the volume on each.
Suggestions?
I too came from a blackberry and it's a bit of an adjustment. This phone has way more capabilities (other than the ringer profiles). I now only change between sound on or off. U can however still use vibrate only, or silent except for alerts and stuff. It takes awhile to fully customize this phone to your liking, but once it's done.....wow!

Great program, although even though most of my profiles are set to ring and vibrate they do not vibrate. When I go into Sounds & Notifications, it always defaults back to RING. If I select Ring & vibrate in the sounds & notifications, the vibration works. As soon as I select another profile, it reverts back to Ring only.
Any help would be great.
Note I have the O2 mini (magician)
i had the same problem but only on the silent mode.....every other mode is set to vibrate and ring and they work fine......first of all the sound and notification option on WM5 is no longer used once u have installed PPC ProfilesPro........well i dont use it anyway, and yes it always defaults to ring but this doesnt matter anymore....as long as u have set the ppcprofilespro setting to vibrate and ring this overrides the sounds and notifications settings on wm5........
basically what i did to get the vibrate mode working on silent mode is to set the volume "system" slider is not to set it all the way to the left....make sure you have at least one notch set to the right, it will make a sound only on normal programs but not on rings because u have to set the "ringer" slider all the way to the left and the "incall" slider obviously all the way to the right......
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...
I'd like to configure alarms so that regardless of the system sound settings they still vibrate.
The built in "Clocks and Alarms" app only supports vibration when the system is not on Silent.
I've experimented with Pocket Alarm but couldn't get the desired outcome.
GAlarm was problematic because of some issues I had with the auto-rotation of my device and the graphics in Galarm getting subsequently messed up.
Is there a clock alarm out there capable of meeting this simple request?
for my suggestion:
1/ the room has some errors ==> upgrade another one
2/ check again all settings in Sound & Notification
The ROM has no errors. I am not the first person to complain about this behaviour of WM. It's the standard behaviour.
Sounds and Notifications has no setting that can control this. I don't want to turn off sound on all reminders.
I need to be able to set specific alarms to only vibrate regardless of the system sound settings.
here's a No Sound wav file... assign it as your alarm tone.
I already have a silent file on my machine which I use for startup and shutdown.
This is not the solution.
I don't want to turn off sound on all reminders.
I need to be able to set specific alarms to only vibrate regardless of the system sound settings. When I use a silent file as the alarm tone in (for example) Pocket Alarm, the vibration also gets turned off.
Is it possible to have different volume settings for different notifications? I'm coming from a BlackBerry Bold, and I was able to set specific ring tone AND volume for each app that I used.
I've only found one notification volume setting in Sounds and Notifications, but when I turn this all the way down, I don't hear text messages coming in either.
I do know how to change notification sounds for each app...this I can do, but not separate volume settings.
I'd like to have a different volume setting for incoming Skype messages, a different volume setting for an active Words with Friends game, a different volume setting for text messages, bla, bla, bla! I was able to do this in my BB for each app, and am hoping this is possible in the T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide!
If not, is there an app that does this?
I'd also like to be able to shut off all notifications when I go to bed, but leave the volume a little higher for incoming phone calls and texts (kids, just in case...), but I don't want to hear any of my game notifications going off all night!
I'm absolutely loving my new toy, even coming from a BB!
thanks so much!!!
Hello to all,
Company I work for has finally moved from mandatory issued BB's to BYOD. But, I have to admit, the BB Profile Management is very good and lets you tweak most everything regarding sound, vibration, and LED.
My goal with this post is to discover if it is possible create an APP that will interface/manage the sound, vibration, and LED on my Android device.
I have a an AT&T Galaxy Note 2 SGH-I317 at version 4.1.2.
I very much would like to have similar Profile Management like BB. There are a lot of apps out there, but so far the ones I have review fall short of managing vibration.Profile Flow and Llama are good, but very short of what I want to do.
I want to create this app for myself as a challenge.
Also it appears that the only hope of doing this is to first root the device, which I have done so on mine.
In case you are not familiar with the BB Profile Management, below is a matrix of what a user can do.
For the most part, BB Apps (Phone, Calendar, TODO list, events, notifications, alarm, alerts, E-mail, SMS, etc...) that have anything to do with sound, vibration, and LED will be listed in the Profile Manager.
When you create a Profile, in that profile you can control the following.
Sound: For each app you can have a separate Volume Level, None, Progressively Louder Volume, or Tone in the selected Profile.
Vibration: For each app you can have a separate Vibration scheme; no vibration, number of vibration pulses in the selected.
LED: For each app, you can have a separate LED scenario; color, flash rate for the selected Profile.
In some case, you can control the combination of Vibration and Tones:
1. Vibrate and Sound at the same time.
2. Vibrate for x number of pulses and Sound for 5 seconds together.
3. Vibrate for x number of pulses, then Sound for 5 seconds after the Vibration has stopped.
Examples:
Night:
Phone Call, vibrates first, then rings (with its own sound file), gets louder over time.
Alarm Clock, vibrates and Rings (different sound file), gets louder.
Alerts, short tone, no vibration.
Meeting:
All sounds off
Vibrates only for e-mail, and text messages from Family Group
Outside:
Crank it all up
I think I got the point across.
So the $1m ?
Can this be done, can an app intercept request to the speaker, vibrator, and led and modify what it does based on a configured Profile?
I am looking forward to your response.
Thanks
Have a Great Android Day
Keith
