I'm sure there is something out there that does this, but I can't seem to find it. Here's my situation. I turn my phone on silent every night before bed. I do this so that texts and email notifications don't wake me up. However, I would like calls to come through for emergency reasons and also for the alarm to be able to sound if set. When I wake up, I turn my phone back on vibrate so that I am alerted when I get new messages. Right now I'm just sleeping with it all on silent and hoping I don't need it. When I absolutely need the alarm, I have to mess with the settings to turn off email and text alerts. This seems too much to just turn off text & email alerts though. Is there any way I can save settings into a profile and just change profiles. One would be Night mode (calls & alarm on, notifications off) and Day mode (all on). Thanks for the help
I have a HTC Touch Pro by the way.
if i'm not mistaken you can use PhoneAlarm to set profiles for seperate services.
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.
Edit: Just saw the note: No commercial apps allowed Okay so if an admin wants to delete this thread, dunno if you count a hobbiest selling an app for under $3 and providing a nice full featured free version as well as "commercial" but that's your call not mine. I certainly don't mean to offend.
I played around with various call block / night clocks and didn't find anything to do exactly what I wanted so I wrote CallShield. You can download the Lite version that allows you to specify three blocked callers and three important callers, and purchase an unlock license for unlimited for $2.99.
It couples a ring overrider for important calls, a call blocker for calls with blocked callerid or in a block list, and a bedside clock that mutes the phone but allows important callers and texts through. Great for IT staff on call who don't want to be disturbed by anyone but work.
From the description:
Ever wished you could turn off your ringer but still let your loved ones reach you? That's what CallShield does. Maintain a list of "Important" or "Blocked" callers and CallShield will manage your ringer for you.
When your ringer is in vibrate or silent mode and an important person calls or sends you a text it will automatically activate the ringer to notify you of the event, and then revert back to the mode it was previously.
Want any of your friends to be able to text you important things without adding them all to the important list? Just tell them to add an exclamation mark to the text (that's the default.) You can customize the special code to whatever you want and optionally allow those text messages to override your ringer and ring through.
In addition, CallShield includes a bedside clock with sleep mode. Activate sleep mode and your ringer is silenced, but you can optionally allow important calls and texts to override it. This feature is great for anyone who is on call at night but doesn't want bothered by anyone else.
If you place CallShield in sleep mode, as soon as you answer an important call or exit the screen by touch it automatically disables sleep mode so you can't accidentally go through the day with your ringer off.
It's CallShield in the Android Market or at http://www.humanoidapps.com/callshield
Do you want to put your phone on silent mode, but yet you want your phone to ring when some important contact like family or a spouse calls?
Do you put your phone on silent in meeting/in a movie but often forget to put it back on ringer mode, and miss some important calls from important contacts?
Then this app is the solution.
HOW THIS WORKS ?
you can add number in application settings for which you want your phone to ring even when your phone is in silent mode.
and start the application service by clicking icon on application dashboard. thats it.
now whenever your phone is on silent mode and call comes from the number you have added to application settings,your phone will ring...
NOW PUT YOUR PHONE ON SILENT MODE WITHOUT MISSING CALLS FROM IMPORTANT CONTACTS.

Hi All,
I am trying to find away to make a certain contact make a sound upon notification. Even when the phone is on silent or vibrate mode. I get emergency notifications from work and when I have my phone vibrate I would like this contact sound. This is a text message from an email address. I don't know if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
Null
