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

Hi,
I can't get my IM programs to vibrate when incoming messages come in...I have vibrate profile set to vibrate in notification type. when in normal profile IMs DO make a sound. Any ideas?
Thanks,
My TP2 stopped making any notification of incoming text messages or e-mails. I thought that incoming e-mail/ sms was controlled by the sound control, and that when we turned single volume off, we were setting one volume for ringing and another for system.
Silly me, I thought that System was e-mail and SMS message. But it looks like it is only things like low battery. Am I correct?
Where the heck is the control for e-mail volume. Also, I am trying to make distinctive rings for some individual e-mails. I have been able to go into an individual contact, edit contact, and then go to ringtones. But will that give me an individual ringtone when they call, or can I also get an individual alert when they text or e-mail me.
Then net of my problem now is that e-mail reception is silent. Then when I get the sound back I want to know if it is possible to get individual alerts.
Thanks.
Settings>Sound>Advanced>
make sure Events and Program Notifications are checked.. and go into Notofications and go through the pull down menu and make sure new email and new txt and new mms have sounds selected and checked "play sound"
Thanks. I did not make it deep enough into Notifications.

I am noticing that when I am on a phone call my alerts are silent. The phone will vibrate when a notification comes in (for example a text message) but it will not play my alert tone. This is a problem because if I have my phone on the charger while I'm talking I won't know if I receive a text message until I get up and check my phone. Does anyone know a way to make it so that I can hear my alerts when I'm on the phone?
Do you have the alerts tone volume turn up
Settings* sounds* volume

yes I do. like I said, I can hear them fine when I am not on the phone, but when I am on the phone they are silent. I am used to still being able to hear my alert tones even during a call, so this has been very problematic.
For those they may be interested in the resolution: After doing a little bit of digging I found out that the lack of in-call sound notifications seems to be a limitation of the stock android app. Because of this, I was forced to use a 3rd party application for my text messaging. I have installed Handcent and is providing me with in-call sound notifications for text messaging.
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.
So I've been having this problem for a while now. Basically, when someone calls me on Whatsapp, I can hear ringtone but turning locksreen shows nothing. Same thing when I unlock the phone, say for example I am on the home screen, I can hear ringtone, but no pops up notification to tell that a Whatsapp call is taking place.
So, this means: 1) if I'm at the lockscreen and get Whatsapp call, I would have no way to answer or end call. 2) if I unlock and use the phone and the Whatsapp calls come, I also dont know if it is Whatsapp and also cannot swipe down from notification and accept/reject call.
So, I would need to physically open Whatsapp and then it would show a call is coming through and so i can accept/reject call.
Reinstalling whatsapp fixed this problem. However, I believe it is only temporary. My settings: AOD off, Edge Lightning off and does not send notification for Whatsapp.
Does anyone else experience similar problem? Strangely, Whatsapp call is the only thing that causes problem.
