For some reason my wife doesn't like my headboard buzzing & chiming all night long whenever I receive an E-mail. As I only have a cell & no land line I need my phone to ring during the night if I get a call, but want to mute everything else. For now I disabled E-mail notifications, but that's a pain to turn on and off ever morning/night.
On my old Windows Mobile AT&T Fuze I just set Active Sync to only sync during the daytime, so that effectively muted it at night.
Anybody have any thoughts?
I'm interested in this too. Actually it'd be nice to turn everything but ringtone and email off for me, as I get work emails overnight while I'm on call that need to wake me up. But gmail, facebook, google talk, etc - it'd be nice if there was a mass silencer for those.
Turn off data at night maybe? Might be some app to turn off data during dif times?
Go to the market place and search for an app called "Setting Profiles Full" by "probeez". This type of app is exactly why I did not go with the iPhone. It will do exactly what you want, I'm using it for that and more.

I downloaded the light version and its not working for me. I set it so at a specified time it is to turn on a profile and its not even doing that. Any advice?
Profile App / Widget pro is working for me. The only part that would be a problem would be keeping emails notification while silencing messages. Maybe a 3rd party email app would do it.

Hi,
Any advice appreciated - this is a fresh SKY ICS rom install, all working well but I can't find how to stop my phone from suddenly ringing. Several times a day, on the hour, it rings and I can't find what does it
The ring sounds like an old grandma' alarm clock
I used Watchdog - killed a bunch of running processes and it kept ringing, nothing I killed stopped the ringing
The only way was to reboot the phone, or I later discovered that if I activate the voice recorder the ringer stops
I looked for notifications - nothing
HELP this is driving me crazy
I love my skyrocket, but if this ring starts in the middle of the night I might throw it out the window
Thanks !
JD
Clean your ears?
Try using Titanium to freeze all clock apps. Could be an alarm clock going off maybe?
ET is trying to phone home Lol. All kidding aside I would suggest what CZ said. Might be an alarm clock or calendar event.

Do you use Exchange mail?
I know the default app has a ringing as its default for exchange accounts and the volume setting had NO effect on it.
If you do, try going into to the settings of that account and disabling notifications for a few hours to see.

@ceasee looks like you are correct, freezing the exchange mail stopped the annoyance, however when going into settings I don't see any mention of notifications
My mail app is v4.0 and now frozen
Can you perhaps recommend an exchange app ?

I've been using Touchdown for a few years. It is rock solid, but not free.
Apparently Samsung doesn't know how to make a snooze feature as snoozing the alarm will cancel it when it tries to come out of snooze the first time. After Googling it it sounds like other people found out the hard way that snoozing doesn't work.

Works for me. Just not a 100% of the time kinda deal as I've noticed. Only failed once so far, and I can't rule out operator error on that one.
Lol. That explains last Wednesday morning.

I might be having a similar issue. I am terrible at waking up in the morning and I set the snooze limit to 5 times. Most of the time I am not sure if it goes off after I snooze it.
Kinda makes me wonder how long the alarm goes off before it stops.

Stock alarm is terrible, it auto snoozes after 1 minute and there is no way to change it. If you are a heavy sleeper better change it to something else ASAP. I'm using alarm clock extreme and all is taken care of now.

I have had no problem with the stock alarm so far. I have only had it snooze once but that was the auto snooze and it went off again. I don't normally let it snooze though since I have it on the other side of the room and have to get up to turn it off.
I've had issues with every phones stock alarm. Well not the S3.....because I'll never take the chance. I use Gentle Alarm and have never had a single issue. Great app!
Currently not being productive on my S3.
Ive been using Alarm Clock Xtreme(paid) for almost 2 years without a single problem.
I play the piano for a church and overslept the entire morning... lost a whole days pay... crappy.

I've used extreme alarm but I really wish the stock app worked because all of the 3rd party apps are hideous looking and the stock one has all the timer and world clocks integrated into it.
I turn the phone over to snooze and this works.
On another note, when the alarm rings, it gives two choices - swipe one way to cancel the alarm and swipe the other way to snooze.
On my old Droid X, it was swipe to cancel the alarm touch anywhere else to snooze. This worked real well for me. First thing in the morning, I don't want to wake up enough to find the right place to swipe. Turning it over is a good alternative.
Works for me

You can also press either volume button to snooze it.
I've been using the stock alarm ever since I got the phone, and across multiple ROMs. Never once had it miss an alarm/snooze.
At first it wasn't waking me up because it doesn't run very long before it shuts itself off. Then I set it to auto snooze up to ten times and haven't had any problems. I also use the smart alarm (that I love by the way) which starts 3 minutes before your regular alarm. I also really love the peaceful tones that don't jerk me out of sleep like buzzers and what not.
Yea the stick one has done glitches. The most annoying thing for me is the stupid nature sounds lol . They make me want to sleep more. I transferred the rooster call from my MAXX

I have my phone on the charger across the room, so I have to get up to turn it off. That's usually all I need to get me out of bed.
And I love the default nature melody...
Most of the time tho, my dogs are waking me up wanting to go outside!

I've had issues with alarm clock xtreme. Twice it has failed to go off and it's very laggy when it is going off. I don't do anything funky with it and used the same app for over a year on my HTC thunderbolt

Gentle alarm user here. Just out of curiosity, is there any way to get S Voice to set the alarm for 3rd party alarm apps?
You can completely change everything on the stock alarm. You can change the snooze duration and everything.
Look harder next time :sly:

The notification and call volume are the same. It has been the case ever since ICS and the only way to over come the issue is to use a custom rom, even rooting doesn't do anything to over come it.
I always sleep with phone on silent but I have started missing important unknown calls and was thinking that I should just keep my notifications silent when sleeping. So how do I do that on a nexus? Well I can't lol. Even if I select silent ring tone for notifications in the settings some apps like whatsapp have their own notification tone setting and will over ride whatever you have selected in settings. So basically I need to change the setting for every app everyday lol.
Now with iOS 6 even iPhone gives you higher control over notifications than stock Android. In the day of increased push services and what not a smartphone really needs to offer robust control over all this.

"Stock" on a SIII would mean TouchWiz, wouldn't it?
He means completely stock Android.

He already said that making the phone silent made him lose important calls. He sure doesn't want it to be switched off
I used an app called volume control in the past to control notification and ring tone volumes individually. There's a free version on the play store. Give it a try

Solution to every problem out there. Go spend that $6. It's totally worth it.
I think a much bigger problem with vanilla android is the lack of a T9 dialer. This is one of the most useful and important features on a phone for me and i don't think there's any way to fix this without a custom ROM.
I wish google would just add this and get it over with. I see no reason why they haven't already done so.
i have no idea if the stock from has this feature but im running paranoidandroind 2.54 on my gnex and there is a option to link ringtone and notifications together or have them separate. But even before using this rom i remember when you go to setting->sounds->Volume you can change ring and notifications separately.

there's ton of apps that let you "personalize" sounds and led notifications if you just look for them in the play store not to mention the countless roms that include these features. no need to start insulting people because of your ignorance.

You can get t9 with third party dialor you don't need custom rom or even root for that. I use touch pal contacts its a brilliant app and you can theme it as well. The best thing about android is that you can change default system apps.
And people I have used several profile applications but all of them are riddled with bugs. The more powerful an app is the more bugs it seems to have. And some of those bugs can be so severe its not even funny. Like one of these apps "profile scheduler" would sometimes disconnect my network after a phone call lol wut.
However of course I am not giving up I am searching for apps that can unlink the notification and ring tone volume and seems like some of the devs have been able to do it now.
I am rooted btw so I will look into the recommendations put forward by a few posters.

Because Samsung was never stupid enough to link the notification and ring tone volume. Bleh android oem's can be good at times lol.
I am also amazed at the blocking mode in jelly bean galaxy S3. I would like to see Samsung add profiles to blocking mode but in any case it trumps every other phone in terms of the sheer control it gives you. I have realised it really is better for such critical features to be built in instead of using an "app".

Is there a way or an app that I can set to my phone for a setting to only hear when I get a text message? If a coworker is out I some times get a text to come in early.

I use the paid version of Whoisit. It allows different profiles. Like when I sleep, my phone will only ring if my kids or the boss calls or if they send a text.
