Hi everyone,
I've been looking for an app that activates the whitelist callers when changing my profile with NFC.
I would like to use an app that lets some people, say family, call me even when my phone is in silent mode. In my case this is only when I sleep, or when in a meeting. I would like to activate this app using a NFC-tag. I use NFC al lot, it's an easy way to change profiles.
When I tap my NFC-tag 'Sleep', it should change the profile to silent and it should activate the whitelist contacts ringer modes, in case of emergency.
When I tap any other NFC-tag it should disable this app and switch to vibrate / normal profile.
Is there any app capable of doing this?
I hope someone can help me out here!:good:

I've been searching for an app that will allow me to designate specific contacts or groups to override silent mode. For instance, I love sleep. I don't get enough of it. BUT, my girlfriend or boss or family need to be able to get a hold of me, so when they call or text it will notify me, even in silent mode. I believe Blackberry's have a feature like this.
this gave me the idea

Ideas?
There is an app called auto ring that will do that. I use it for the same reasons

Just tried it. Perfect!
i use foxyring, lets you set sleep hours, auto silencing, emergency contact list that can ring thru sleep hours with special ringtones. It can even do location based audio profiles. want your phone to auto switch to vibrate when you walk into work? it can do that. It even audio samples your current environment and adjusts your ringtone based on the ambient noise in the area you are located.

I love this app, but I wish it could do something else though, and having a hard time trying to search on it.
Just like Auto ring allows for certain contacts to override the state of the phone, I would like certain APPS to be able to override the state of the phone, for example, I would like my weather app to send its notification sound when weather alerts come out, regardless if the phone is on silent or vibrate ...
Sorry for hijacking the thread ...
I've recently downloaded Llama and am amazed that this app is free! I've set up the basics (turn on/off Wi-Fi when I enter/leave home/work, go on vibrate at work, etc.), but do you gents/ladies have any personal suggestions or tips on events I can set up to grease the wheels of my day-to-day grind?
Llama is a must have free app if you don't already use the paid app Tasker. Using cell towers as a battery-free location service is a great idea and more apps are starting to use that now.
My favorite uses for Llama are saving battery by toggling auto sync and fixing a pet peeve of mine: plugging in headphones and not realizing the volume is too loud. Second one is a bit tricky and needs to work in conjunction with the Sound Profiles you've already set up for Day/Night etc.Lastly, you can also use it as an easy way to change the brightness automatically throughout the day.
ex.
Auto-Sync
-When using Battery, Disable Account Sync
-When Charging, Enable Account Sync
Volume Control
-When any wired headset is connected - Change Profile to Headphones
-At Home between (Set Time){when wired headset is disconnected} Change Profile to Normal
-At Home between (Set Time){when wired headset is disconnected} Change Profile to Quiet
Am I the only one with the current bug that allows calls through even when I'm in silent mode? If it works for you what version of llama are you on?

Latest version and no such issue. There is the option to set certain contacts as "Noisy" and they will ring anyways even when silent.
Edit your Silent profile and make sure your ringtone and notification volume is set to 0.
some aids i use:
temp mute phone when using camera
start music when headset connect
kill musicplayer when headset disconnect
silent at work
only wifi at home
no problems with calls on silent
Since the latest Gear S3 update (Tizen 4.0.0.4, firmware R760XXU2ESE3), I find that the watch's Do Not Disturb mode is linked to my phone's Do Not Disturb mode. If I turn the mode on or off either on my phone or on my watch, the other device changes its mode too.
This linkage is a horrible design choice. DND on my phone is set up to do nothing except to block all callers who are not on my contact list, and I need that to be enabled all the time. But with DND enabled on my watch, I lose watch notifications for email and texts, as well as wake-up gestures.
So I'm now forced to choose between turning my phone into a spam loudspeaker, or else losing some of the most useful features of my Gear S3.
Does anyone know of a way to disable the DND linkage and restore sensible function to the Gear S3?
As a workaround, I'm trying the free Call Blocker app on my phone, which has a mode to reject non-contact callers, so I can safely disable DND on both devices. I'll report back on whether it succeeds.
edit: Yup, seems to work well.
There is an option in settings of the Wearable app to allow sync DND settings or not.

I had missed that and it's just what I was looking for. Thanks!
Hi guys. I'm using the device for quite a while now (global, DE vodafone), and I am surprised there is no silent mode toggle. I can switch between vibration and sound, and also I can switch the DND, but I cannot and I do not see the way to turn on the silent mode. Anybody has a tip?
Yes you have to go into settings and unselect vibrate for silent
Afterwards you can push power and louder together to enable vibra temporarily. To switch back silent you just tip once louder and again silently.

For years I've used an app called Sound Profile Pro which allows me to set up however many sound profiles I want. It allows me to control volumes, DND, vibration, ringtones etc. It even can change Bluetooth and wi-fi status, screen brightness and more.
It lets me put a 1x1 widget on my home screen which, when pressed, gives me instant access to all the profiles I've defined. And, helpfully, it'll change the widget's appearance to always show whatever icon I've associated with the last chosen profile.
There is a free app, but the widget needs the pro version. Both are available in the Play store.

That make sense, however I wanted to avoid installing extra app for such an essential thing

Hi found this thread whilst trying to resolve this issue myself. Ended up contacting oppo on their live chat and you can edit your toggle menu by clicking on the button which looks like write/edit to the left of the settings button on the toggle menu.
Hi everyone,
I'd like to know which app or service is responsible for the sound played when the phone is connected to a charger.
Is there any way to find that out?
The reason is that the sound is muted during DND, which is not what I want. So I thought I could set the notification to override the DND if I knew in which app to look.
(Android 11)
Thanks
I think that's under notifications. Use Tasker. You can make a profile to disable "Do not disturb", emit the sound and then turn on "Do not disturb" again.
With Tasker I can actually just emit the sound without disabling and enabling DND, because Tasker can be set to override DND. But this would be overcomplicating the matter.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm looking for a solution to my problem, not for a work around.
