Hi, i'm new to Qtek 2020i (XDA IIi) and i'm wondering how do i set profiles like what it used to be in Nokia, where we have silent mode, and so on.
How can i do that?
Also, how can i switch to vibrate mode or silent mode and i still have my alarm ringing loud?
Is there any ways i can do that or any software that can do that?
If you tap the speaker icon on the top bar, the popup volume slider has three preset settings.
1) On , just returns to the last volume setting
2) Silent, deactivates the volume but enables the vibration.
3) Off , as you would expect, no vibration or audio
There is a better profile tool but it was a part of the o2 customised GUI. However i find the three default settings do me fine
Thank you. Wat about having it on vibrate or off and the alarm still able to ring on full volume?
I think you cant do that, but as a kinda work arround you would need to put the phone in flight mode (turn off the phone function) but leave the sound on.
Just means you wont recieve any sms or calls untill you enble the phone again.
Try looking at Pocket Zen Phone, search the forums
I bought Pocket Zen Phone, it's a brilliant little app, and very cheap, so no excuse for not buying when it's so fairly priced.
so besides spb pocket plus and diary, what other apps is the best to use? I mean most popular and definitely a need by most of ppc users?
Mate that has to be the most commonly asked and most difficult question to answer - what you want/need to do with your device defines that.
As for a list, here is mine.

Hey,
I´m having a little problem: I´ve set the phone to vibrate when an email arrives (in the sounds menue). Also the phone is set (via the buttons on the left side of the case) to only vibrate when a call or an email arrives.
The vibration alarm works when the phone is on. But if the phone is in the sleep mode (display is turned off), it doesn´t vibrate at incoming emails.
What am I doing wrong here?
Secondly I´d like to know if there´s a way to e.g. let the phone only vibrate on system events and to let it actually ring, when a call is incoming.
As far as I can see, I can only set it to vibrate in both cases.
Thanks for your hints,
Thilo
Ok, Question #1 is solved:
is seems that the phone/os can only execute one option at a time: either ring OR vibrate. Now, if you have marked both, playing a sound and vibrate, the last marked item wins.
E.g. if you first click on "playing a sound" (I don´t know what it is called exactley in the english os version) and then on vibrate, the phone vibrates when e.g. an email is received and vice versa.
But how about the two different settings for "System" and "Ringing"? Is it possible to set "System" to vibrate and "Ringing" to a certain volume level? I talk about doing this with the volume up and down buttons?
so long,
Thilo
This is rediculous.. but apparently winmo doesnt allow you to play music while the phone is set to vibrate...
Is there any way I can get around this?
I dont want my phone ringing in the middle of class, and I dont want to risk forgetting to switch my phone back into vibrate after i finish listening to music.
In all honesty i dont see how this will be possible. I understand your issue however the X1 is effectively cutting off all sound from the unit, pretty much like hitting MUTE on your desktop/laptop master. I could understand if third party software could get around this but i just tested out youtube player for example and good as gold it cut the sound right off whilst on vibrate.
I dont think there will be a solution for this to be honest...i hope im proven wrong though, sure there will be a genius on here with an answer
Maybe I really am just asking for too much. But all of my previous feature phones allowed playback through headphones in vibrate mode. And if no headphones were plugged in, the device asked if I wanted to continue and playback music through the speakers anyway (while keeping vibrate mode active).
i may be a bit confused about your question.
im not sure but your phone shouldnt ring on your phone outlet speaker with headset plugged in.
i guess you can make a null ring tone....
I noticed this the other day in class also. I put my phone on silent and went to the music player and it wouldn’t give any sound to the headphone, the only way was to put the volume back up but this meaning if any one text or rang your phone the class would all hear.
I hope there is a solution for this
one fix is in the volume setting ( the one that pops up when you press volume up or down), turn the phone setting all the way down... you wont hear your phone ring but you can still play music.
another way is to just set the phone ring setting to just vibrate mode only. (haven tried it tho yet as no need for me too but just trying to offer solutions). lots of options in the setting, sound notification menu.
it might not be a one touch solution but i think it can be set up to the way you want it too.
I dont have a solution but I gotta ask... listening to music in class???? At the risk of sounding old fogeyish (I cant believe the spell checker let that word through) shouldnt you be listening to the teacher/lecturer?
Wait, can't you put the ringer on vibrate, but keep the system sound on? That's what I would do. I use the touch audio control so when I use the volume rocker I can switch between ringer and sytem.

No no you missed the point.
I'd listen to music on the way to school. Then I'd turn off the bluetooth once i was done listening. Heres is the problem, once i turned off the bluetooth headset i use, the phone returns to normal sound mode, and is free to ring during class if I forget to switch it back to vibrate.
And I guess I could just manually switch everything to vibrate, but on the weekends I like being able to hear my phone ring.
I'll just have to change the phone to and from vibrate mode when i listen to music I guess...
Why don't you set the ring volume to 0% (don't press silent or vibrate, just set the ring volume down) and leave the system volume where you want it?
Works without problems here.

Does setting ring volume to 0% make the phone vibrate?
Cause not hearing any ringing or getting any vibrating might be just as bad XD
Shadowdh, I was being a bit vague/mixed up, so the fault is mine. No need for apologies

dude you haven't even tried it and yet you already commented on it .heh
the answer is NO it doesn't set to vibrate not just yet. if you click you're speaker icon on your top left screen(almost) it will pop you up a volume panel which consist of left: the system sound and the right: the phone speaker sound consists of six levels each top most being the highest and bottom being 0%. then below a setting of 3 radio buttons for ON, VIBRATE, and OFF.
now setting the right slider to bottom most and setting the left slider on top most gives you full system sound but 0% phone speaker sound. the radio button is autonatically still at ON and not VIBRATE by then. that is your only choice so far.
another problem afterwhich is, you won't hear any phone ring whenever someone calls you up even through your earpiece. that's just darn. I guess it's just a winmo device problem aprt from your previous phones. SEs I guess.
things SE didn't consider to take a look coz SE people lifestyles are music, camera,and or business and or both.
one more thing, when you turn your volume maxed up. you phone will ring even when the earpiece is plug. there's just no setting to turn it off. I mean for silent users who lstens to music by earphones, most of the time they like it that the speakers are just off and every sound just goes by the earphones. There is simply no setting for that.
in previous model of SE's whenever you plug an earpiece and the phone recognizes it. the phone automatically turns to headphone mode, which utilizes only the earphone as the source of sound and nothing else UNLESS specified in the settings. there has been an issue that users forget to unplug their earpieces that they misses x number of calls the whole night while their phone vibrate silently on their bags or table with their earpieces plug. That is the reaon SEs newer models after k750i I think coz I got a k750 and a w800i which is consecutively released. the w800i and so forth features a earphone mode setting but their phone speakers still rings as well as sounds when an sms goes in even if the earpieces are plugged, without a setting to disable it.
It just the way it is, and some people still need that feature. Like me. I don't want people to hear my phone ringing in public places like a market, street at dawn or related areas. Whenever I wanted to listen to music when someone calls, send an sms, the phone just simply sounds off, publicly.
Another comment/workaround a read is a null tone. Might work, but you have to manually set a null tone for calls, as well as for SMS. without any automation like a uh NULL profile perhaps.

I've set my phone to always ring AND vibrate on incoming calls (so I recognize incoming calls even if the music in my living room is very loud ). So if I decrease the ring volume to 0% it does vibrate.
this is like saying i wanna close my eyes and still be able to see something.
As a more lateral solution, have you tried using something like SPB Phone Suite to set either manual or time based profiles?
I'm thinking you could have something like a travelling profile with bluetooth on and sound on and a school one with the phone/system on vibrate and bluetooth off. You could then either change manually with two clicks of the home screen or have it change automatically dependant upon time.
ill always use flightmode! easy and safe...

the problem I encounter here is that phone calls are muted and it's great, but it will still ring through the speaker if an sms is received
any solutions?
this makes it impossible to listen to music at quieter (and most usually boring) places!
Possible Solution
I'm not sure if this works on the ROM you're using, but I'm using Touch-IT 3.5 and it allows me to automatically put the phone on vibrate during appointments.
You could set your classes as appointments and not need to worry about it from then on.
Last night I was watching a movie(Pandorum, you naughty minds) and to hear the sound, i had to take the phone OFF silent mode, but suddenly a friend message and the damn thing beeped really loud....WTF..how to put the phone on silent...and watch a movie or listen to music..i used the entertainment panel BTW...
You could try a program like core player. Perhaps it has a setting for separate sound. Otherwise, silent means SILENT. And that for all sound I guess
Or, you could go to comm manager and turn OFF the phone. So no phone calls to silence
yep.. the second one works...u mean the off line mode rite..nice.makes more sense..
You can just turn off rings and not other sounds (there are two sliders in volume control).
I think this silent mode is great, i had symbian phone before and some apps were playing sound even there was silent mode, but WM effectively blocks all sound.
Messagesounds are systemsounds..and not muted if you only put your phonesounds into silence. Thats how windows mobile works.
You can go into sound settings and change the settings for email, sms, calls ...all one by one
So when watching a movie just turn sms and email off (you can mute calls via volume -quicker)
If you do this regularly you should use a profile app -there are loads
I use G-profile -to turn on BT for the car (and disable S2U2 at the same time)...
or at night -with one click all sounds (sms/email/calls) are off but my alarm still sounds to wake me up as I can leave volume on full
Ever since I updated to FroYo, I lost the feature of having vibrate only for phone calls and text messages. Usually using the volume rocker (up and down) it would go from silent > vibrate > ring.. On FroYo it goes from silent > ring..
Any idea how to fix it?
I know I can do it manually by making the option be vibrate on silent in phone settings.. But sometimes I do not want my phone to vibrate on silent.. Just a hassle of going into settings and turning it off each time when i do not want it
It sounds like your problem is two fold.
First, mine goes from sound bar down to vibrate. (I don't know if ADW launcher has an affect on this or not).
Secondly, you might want to look in to the settings applications on the market and see if you can set and restore settings for those times you want just silent and vibrate for some parts.
Are you using modaco's rom?
I use a widget called extended controls which is like an enhanced version of the stock power control widget. It has options for vibrate only or complete mute.
sliding the speaker on the lock screen should put it on vibrate only on froyo
Nope the Lock screen slide makes it completely silent. Is it only Modaco's rom ?
Did you check settings> sounds > vibrate and ensure it is not never or only when not silent?
Well neither of those options help because its either one or the other. I do not want it to always vibrate or just vibrate when on silent.. I dont know why it disappeared :S
Did you try "vibrate only on silent mode" and see if you get the option? I'm tuning kang-of-rama froyo and it works and that is what mine is set to. Otherwise maybe reflash your rom?

Vibrate only in silent mode defeats the purpose of silent mode
Stupid google, wth were they thinking with this change. I don't understand why they had to fix something that wasn't broken.
you can do it from individual app setting for sound, and in the home screen setting. that way you can tailor each app's vibrate, or silence the way you prefer.
Everyone is missing the point here. I have a Droid running Froyo and am experiencing the same problem. It is really not that hard to understand, but so many forums about this issue are full of replies that misunderstand the issue:
Prior to Froyo, Silent and Vibrate were 2 distinct functions:
Silent: ringer volume at zero and vibrate was disabled. Perfect for a theatre or a quiet meeting where even a vibrate would be annoying and disrespectful.
Vibrate: ringer volume at zero and vibrate enabled. Perfect for keeping the phone in your pocket, being aware of notifications, but not having your phone beeping and ringing all day.
This all makes sense, yes? By using the volume rocker, it was possible to adjust from full ringer volume down to low ringer volume. If you continued down after the volume was at it quietest, you activated vibrate mode. Then, if you clicked down once more, you would enable silent mode. Also all makes sense. And is extremely useful and intuitive.
In Froyo, Google has changed the way the OS handles volume control when it comes to silent mode and vibrate mode. And quite frankly, they have screwed it all up. Now, in Settings, you can specify whether the phone should vibrate "Always", "Never", "Only in Silent Mode", "Only when not in Silent Mode".
Ugh. So what that means is they have essentially done away with a distinction between silent and vibrate and now instead of having quick access to both options, you have to pick whether silent means truly silent like before or whether it really means vibrate. So frustrating.
So far, the only solutions I have seen out there are to download one of the many widgets that allows you to toggle between vibrate, silent, and ringing via a home screen icon. But this is not good enough. I want Volume Rocker control back of true Silent and true Vibrate modes.
Someone here on XDA must know how to fix this. Can't someone come up with an app that overrides the volume rocker? Or even an update.zip that restores the 2.1 functionality here?
Here's to hoping!
EDIT: here is the official google help thread on this topic: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=3f836bd37ec0dc88&hl=en
Hmm it seems i'm not the only one who misses that option on Froyo!
I used it quite a lot...going from sound to vibrate (when going out) then going into a meeting just one more click and the phone was on silent.
There must be someone who knows how to fix this?
Any news on this ?
Tbh I like the new way much better

for a second i thought i was going crazy but it seems like everyone has the same problem
oh well, here's hoping google fixes this soon. i want the old "silent [no vibrate] -> vibrate only -> ringer+vibrate" setup back.
Agreed I prefer 2.1's behaviour.
I'm using Curvefish's "Beautiful Vibrate" widget as a workaround for now.
i just upgraded to froyo and this missing feature also really annoys me..
it's been some time since the last post in this thread. are there any proper solutions/workarounds yet?
Settings -> sound -> check silent state
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
sorry, there's nothing to check there this post within this thread describes the problem very well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6975085&postcount=12
i can't find the "beautiful vibrate" widget within the market, guess it doesn't exist anymore?
[edit]
i'm using "silent toggle widget" now, seems to be working as expected, but of course doesn't replace the volume rocker feature/settings from 2.1

i have a sound problem with my X1
i have the original rom
it have sound when i play music from the speaker.
it have sound when i try my ringtone but when someone calls me i get only vibrations!!!
plz help!!!
what is the setting in notifications section of the phone, it could be set to viberate only.
go to settings, phone, notifications and check the settings tro see if it is on vierate only.
if you carry the phone in pocket or purse without a case, the volume could be lowered every time by something in your pocket or purse. If the volume is lowered to the lowest setting, it will automatically switch to vibrate mode.
