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.
Hey all,
I have a G920F and I noticed that the call alerts menu is missing. I looked under Sounds and Notifications menu and in the Phone (Dialler) app. After a google search I learned that many are having the same issue. So now I cannot set the minute beep or the vibrate when pickup, hangup notification and all the rest.
Is there any way I can get them back? What were Samsung thinking?
Thank you kindly.
When I was CM11 while I was on phone, when apps get notifications, phone vibrated. Now with marshmallow on Nexus 5 doesn't vibrate. This function is useful to me while I'm on call, because it allows me to see if I'm getting another call when busy as I receive sms alert. How can I do to reactivate this?

Hi all,
since yesterday my S7 does something very annoying: even when sound is set to vibrate or silent, it will speak the incoming caller id (name or number) for calls I receive. This can be very annoying when in a meeting
The weird thing is that I haven't changed anything. My last action was to install a camera mode from the Galaxy store, which was the first time I ever started the store since I use the phone. Maybe it updated something? I also don't get notifications for missed calls anymore since then.
Any ideas where I could turn that caller id text-2-speech feature off?
solved: it was the DW Contacts & Phone App that I had updated.
CONTEXT: My parents have always had problems with their MIUI xiaomi phones (redmi note 9, redmi 5+ and note 4x) where Do not disturb (dnd) set up as "alow incoming calls - from anyone" doesn't work at all.
MY QUESTION:
Does the "allow incoming calls - from anyone" dnd option block notification sounds and make calls from anyone ring?
This function is vital to me as I often use DND to silence my phone but let calls through in case something important happens.
Thanks for the help.
When you press the volume rocker, it gives you two options, silence and do not disturb, I always have the phone on silence and it obviously doesn't sound when you get calls or anything like that, I'm not sure if the do not disturb option is actually for calls.
If you press that option it tells you ''sounds and vibrations are disabled'' but if you press on the silence option it specifies ''calls and notifications are silence''
I use DND on a regular basis at work/sleep to filter my calls and make sure that only my girlfriend, certain friends and family can call me and no one else. Meaning only their calls will ring out loud while all other people's calls just ring silently.
Your post is not clear as to what exactly you are looking for but if the short question is :
Does DND features work on MIUI?
Yes they work 100%
Here are the available options in MIUI 12

Sorry for not being clear enough, let me rephrase my question:
Does the "allow incoming calls - from anyone" option actually work while blocking all message notifications?
This option didn't work in none of the xiaomi phones I mentioned because it either didn't ring or it didn't block message sounds so the workaround was doing exactly what you did with your gf but with all my contacts instead.
Okay I recreated the scenario and you seem to be right. I wasn't able to check the calls part but I was definitely able to check that when the DND is set to
Allow Incoming Calls - Anyone
The notifications make a sound.
I'm assuming what you are looking for is that only calls should be making sounds while on DND and not anything else like SMS / WhatsApp / etc.
Hope I helped.

Thanks for the confirmation. From what I see, this happens in every single MIUI phone out there.
I'm shocked that it's still not fixed after so many years of sending feedback through the feedback app.
I guess I'll have to find a workaround once I buy the device
