Hi,
does anyone know how to disable vibration for notifications in priority mode? For example when someone is calling me and I don't answer the phone there is a vibrating notification even in priority mode (I have disabled Events/reminders interruptions).
This is a big issue for me because I dont want my phone to make any noises/vibrations during meetings, at night etc.
Thanks

Is there any software that will allow me to toggle vibration on/off for ringtones and notifications (preferably from the system tray)?
I want to keep the sounds switched on, but just turn the vibration off as when my I-Mate JAM is on a table, all you can hear is the vibration rather than the notification and ringtone sounds I've setup. Then when I put it in my pocket to go out, I want an easy way to turn on vibration again.
Is there anything out there?
I've tried some profile switching stuff, but they don't seem to work with my JAM as it tends to turn off vibrate mode for calls completely (for some reason).
Thanks in advance.
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.
Hi
My daughter is forever putting her phone on silent and forgetting to reset it when she's out.
Are there any apps that will do any of the following:
Allow us to track her ?
Make calls from selected numbers ring even if the phone is on silent ?
Any other suggestions ?
Thanks
Bad form to reply to myself.
AutoRing looks good:
Auto Ring enables you to put your phone in vibrate or silent mode for that important meeting, but still get emergency calls and texts from people you designate.
Auto Ring lets you white list contacts and phone numbers you want to ring while silencing everyone else. With Auto Ring enabled and your phone in vibrate or silent mode you choose who can break into your important meeting or interrupt your sleep.
What I'm looking for is any ideas or suggestions on how to make Lollipop behave more like KitKat did for notifications with a Pebble.
What I used on Kitkat:
- Pebble watch for all notifications (using the Pebble software and Pebble Notifier to send all/most notifications to the watch)
- Phone on Silent mode
- Alarms ring on phone
This is a good combination for me as the phone stays quiet and the Pebble lets just me know what is going on.
On Lollipop
I want the same kind of setup now, but the lack of Silent mode makes this harder to achieve. I do know the trick to set the volume one above Vibe then reboot, and that does work... but it's a kludge.
- the Priority Interruptions actually silence all pebble notifications, so I have to keep it to All to get it, which then causes the phone to vibe too (unless I do the reboot trick).
So, does anyone have a combination of settings that makes this work like the KitKat days?
Here are a few thoughts on dealing with this. I use Llama or Tasker to get silent mode. Turning on silent mode in either of these turns on priority mode and then I use them to set the notification volume to 0. I have some Tasker stuff to toggle this from the pebble, and it's quick to switch profiles from the Llama notification on the phone for where location profiles don't already do what I need.
As to priority mode preventing pebble notifications, that can be avoided too. The gmail and calendar and call notifications work fine with the pebble app. I use light flow (but notification center should work too) for third party notifications. You have to add the application that forwards notifications to the list of apps that can notify in priority mode. So in addition to hangouts and other apps that I want to receive notifications from, I set light flow notifications to priority mode too (and in light flow I disabled their persistent notification because I don't need it).
I never leave priority mode on the phone, I just change the notification volume through profiles in the above apps. It works fine, and I get all notifications on the pebble.
Hope this helps.
Edit: And this does the right thing for alarms, since alarms are always priority.
I'm doing the same thing basically - I had Tasker rules to silence the phone (alarm volume = 0) in certain conditions, and when I upgraded to Lollipop they still worked. Not free, but it's workable. There are still some issues though that I haven't figured out, I'm not sure Tasker can un-slient a phone in that state (volume buttons will override) and of course Tasker doesn't know about the various priority modes at all yet.
I do not recall which update broke this, maybe 8 or 9. Basically, I want to have my phone vibrate only when it's vibrate mode, no vibration in silent or sound on mode. This was possible before, iirc there was a checkbox or you could chose which profile would vibrate etc.
This has been bugging me for a long time but I never really tried to fix it but now I kinda do.
Is there a workaround besides doing it with tasker or something like that?
