HTC Home - Sound: Automatic? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Ok... I have an AT&T tilt that I flashed with the default HTC rom. I'm using the HTC home screen and need to know what a button does.
What exactly does the Sound: Automatic button do?

basically automatic is with your calender.
I believe if you create a schedule and set it to busy / out of office or something of that sort, it will automatically switch the phone to vibrate/ silent. and once th e session is over, it will switch it back to the original status

Hmmm... ok. Thanks. I was actually hoping that it would automatically silence alarms at night or something.
Since this isn't what it does, can anyone tell me if there is some software that I can set the alarms off at night with? I hate going through menuhell to change the settings every night.

Well, you can always make an appointment with bed

Menu hell?
Automatic doesn't appear to work for me which is too bad since SPB Phone had this feature that I thought was fantastic.
Don't know of a program to do what you want but two buttons to the left is the silence button. Menu hell? Just a thought...

You could try phoneAlarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) it can do a lot of things!

this feature is kinda gay...
This feature is def kinda gay. I was hoping that i could switch from my custom ringtones with this to my work ringtone, that overrides everything. This would leave for a set of default sounds, sliding/ringtone for business, and custom for play.... lame..

I have personally observed this feature causing my phone to engage in homosexual activities with other HTC devices.

this feature does seem useful in theory but in practical instances, it is a bit risky to use in my opinion.

I'm going to set my work schedule in my calender just for this. Thanks for the clarification. My Kaiser is bi methinks.

Sorry to bump a old thread..figure better than starting a new one.
This is kind of related to the HTC home..
I noticed my "tapping sound" has been disabled ever since installing the HTC home cab. I've tried to re-enable the tap sound via the settings..it shows enabled but still no sound? Is this normal...or did I do something wrong?
And is the alarm function always this slow? It seems to take forever to repeat...actually sounds kind of weak? I've used different phones but this HTC seems to be pretty retarded when it comes to the basic functions.
Thanks.

great stopwatch/countdown timer program

hey guys, i've been looking for a stopwatch/timer program for my tilt for a while, and finally found a great free program.

Thanks, ive also been looking for something like this so i can use it to count down my time left on my Tacho.
Problem is, when its done, the alarm is too quiet. Would you be able to ask on the forum if he could make a configurable alarm sound so i could choose my own sound for example.
Also if you could make the count down time in full screen would be great.
Obviously all this is if you get the chance. Dont worry if you dont
Thanks for posting though, still useful.

I found if you hold stylus on the white part you get a menu that pops up. It allows you to set the stopwatch color (of the digits) and change the alarm. Those it seems the alarm sound has to be a windows media format. the only other option I had from my device was the dogbark file.
It limited but something.
Any chance on getting a screenshot of this app at all?

just thought I'd mention, it's a nice looking App, but doesn't wake the device from standby, works well though.
Paul
Thank you very much.
StopTime
I'll put a shout out for StopTime!
http://home.comcast.net/~jonsachs/#StopTime 2.0
It's free, and you can use any sound you want for the alarm (I think)
Has anyone used this successfully? DOES IT wake up the device when it is off?
Finally, the first post leads to a page that doesn't exist. Is this the same as Jonathan Sach's StopTime?
SPBTime is great!!! Try it.

Me. I use WM 6.1 with this soft flawlessly. It keeps counting properly after Off-on or Sleep-on.
I'm looking for something where I can configure an alarm every 30 seconds or so. Anyone know of anything, I want functionality similar to the stopwatch Timer '08 for my Mac.
problems with Stopwatch
I downloaded the Stopwatch cab to my Fuze and found several problems.
1. It only goes to the second. Not much use for timing laps on the track, etc.
2. The Start/Stop button was partially covered by the Reset button.

has anyone seen something similar that also sits on the today screen?
I'm off on a holiday in 3 months and want to know how many days till I go just by looking at my phone (without opening a program hence the today screen) I have searched the forums for a few weeks but haven't found anything yet (but that could just be my searching technique!!).
ideally to fit WVGA screen size
cheers
Update:
I also posted here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473464
and my query has been resolved.

Different today screens?

I know this is a bit of an odd question, but is there a way to have two different today screens on the Tilt, one for when the keyboard is closed and one for when its open?
I want this because i dont like having to scroll down on the little scroll bar to access the programs below when the key board is open.

is there a program or a setting that could do this?
And to refrain from posting 2 threads, is there a way to schedule your phones ring volume? like every week day from Time A to time B its vibrate and the rest its not?
I think the answer is yes, and yes.
I'm pretty sure the phone uses different pic files when changing resolution upon opening the Tilt. I don't know of a program to set it but I bet there is one. I'm surprised no one has helped on that yet. Hang in there.
There are several programs to set the phone volume at a schedule. This is called a "phone profile". PocketZen Phone and SPB Phone Suite are two examples.
Try a search, see my sig fo link. Good luck.
If you use Resco Picture Viewer and set one picture as a wallpaper when on portrait mode, and then another when you're on landscape mode, you'll get two different wallpapers.
If anyone knows of another method I would like to know aswell.
Cheers
Ok pizzaguy wants 2 diferant screens on slide open and closed. Not only change the wallpaper (background). Well pizzaguy I hope someone can help u because then they would also be helping me.... I want the same thing. Later dude.....
I think the only solution is Wisbar Advance Desktop.
That can create a page for portrait and one for landscape.
There is a program from a company called Netwasp, Thememaker M, that allows you to make WM6 themes with a portrait and landscape Graphic that are different. I'm using it to make themes for my Tilt, and it works great

I use PhoneWeaver from http://www.SBSH.net for this, and love it. I have it set up to be on vibrate during normal business hours, quite after I put my daughter down to bed, silent at night while I'm sleeping, and loud rest of the time. Everything can be completely scheduled based on time/days. You can also set up different alerts for Phone/Mail/SMS/etc. based on these profiles as well. The only issues that I have come across is that it doesn't turn Wifi off correctly, but I think there is a work-around for this.

No Silent mode during sleep

After updating to lollipop I found out that the silent mode doesn't work during sleep. Even though it shows its ON.. all the sounds can be heard and notification sound also works.. Anyone else got this problem?? :screwy:

Guess what I was trying to say is there are many ways to set it up. I have mine set for priority interruptions only and it works great. I was only suggesting there is information on setting it up on the web including Motorola's site. Sorry I couldn't be more help

Oh... one other thing to be aware of is that a bug exists in Moto Voice that sets the ringer volume to 60% (if it is set below that, or even off), every time it is invoked, purposely or accidentally. Perhaps that is what is causing the behavior you're seeing.

I think Motorola has to update assist.
Right now seems that android's settings overwrite Moto's settings.
Assist works great for me. Every night I have it go to sleep and 12:00 and all notifications are quiet until 5:00. It just uses your priority settings, so I am not sure why it isn't working for you. Your screenshot wasn't taken during a time it was supposed to be sleeping, right? Because those settings (as shown) are allowing all interruptions.
Mine works fine, but the deal is: some apps override priority modes by themselves (looking at you, facebook stuff), you have to set them manually. At least, that was my case.

You need to set the days and time for "Downtime" in which Moto Assist (Sleep Mode) enables Priority Mode.

Sort notifications by time

Hi guys!
Just move to android from iPhone's since day one. I do have it about 5/6 months and I was hable to sort all of the different settings and I can say that I'm really happy with the change.
I only have one little problem that makes me crazy, can't get notifications sort by time like the iPhone, so I constantly get "Ding" and can't tell what it is calling my attention... I talked this issue with a friend from office, he has a Xiaomi, and it does have the notifications sort by time, the screen wakes and highlight the notification when arrives. That's exactly what I need! Tried some apps like Glympse but only change the home screen and not the notifications on the status bar.
Why Galaxy notifications are set like this? is there a order that I can understand?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

And this is my note 8 on Oreo notifications:
Thank's and I'm sorry if this was on other site but was not able to find a fix for this
PD: Can't make images smaller

it happens because of "priority notifications"
Swipe a notification to the right/left just a little until you can tap the gear, then check whether or not they're priority.

Thanks a lot a very simple answer to a question I have been struggling with since I changed devices. My thanks sir. It's a small thing that I wasnt sure I could change.
Same here
Hi everyone. I am facing the same problem, and it has nothing to do with priorities, it seems Android is set that way but I can't figure out how Android sorts notifications; I've tried replacing the notification bar by some other app but it still sorts it the way Android does. I've searched all over the internet but no solution so far. It seems that only Emui and IOS counts with that feature. Has anyone find a solution?
I'm having the same issue with the new s10. Did anyone ever find a solution to this problem?
I Think the Notifications are sorted by the Type. So notifications wird popups are shown higher then notifications with just Sound.
I bet the option doesn't exist because of Google's position as an ad company. Apps are essentially advertisers and they likely abhor the idea that their notifications could be user sorted. They want prioritisation.
Chronological Notifications
If the Notifications are not chronological then they are useless. It is absolutely ridiculous and unproductive to have to scroll for two minutes just to try to figure out why your phone just beeped. I use BlackBerry Hub. It's a third party email app that also conglomerates all of your phone's app and calendar notifications and displays them in proper chronological order. I highly recommend BlackBerry hub if you have multiple email/social media accounts managed on one phone. Otherwise good luck trying to figure out who is trying to reach you with these Google add based notification displays.
I have this exact problem in my Oneplus 6. Is there any solution? I hate Android due to this. Why there is no simple option in the settings to sort notifications based on the time they arrived?
i tried so much its so sucks
u can try notification master app
u can see all notifications arranged bu time
I'm going F'n nuts with these Android notifications. Same problem, I get an alert sound then check notifications and I have no F'n idea what just alerted me. They need to be sorted by reverse date/time order with the latest at the top (ideally). Who the F wrote the notification code? Do they even use their own phone?

Question Ringtones, "More" button not working ?

Hi All,
Just a quick one, not really had chance to look into this one, as had my nephews with me all day... so not had chance to read up on it. But within the phone's own Settings, under Sound, Ringtones....
Other than the 3x ringtones it comes with (only 3x ???) When I tap on the 4th button "More..." it simply does NOTHING...?? lol

Am I missing something, do I have to supply my own MP3 ringtones here in a folder or summit for that button to work...?? lol
None of the blue buttons do anything at all, might as well not put them there and stick to just 3x naff tones... lol
Cheers, Lister
Hi All,
Well it's a kid free house now, nephews have gone home and I've had chance to have another look at the "Sound & Vibration" aka, Ringtones on this phone....
... and I can honestly say, its blooming dreadful, woeful.... what the heck are Xiaomi on here??
Only providing 3x ringtones?? lol. And then if you click More, in fact if you click any of the blue buttons, it does bugger all. Can't even add your own ones. I've read up, I've copied them into the MIUI folder, and I've copied them into native Android folders, and nothing is picked up...
The default ones are useless, my brother tried ringing 4x times over the weekend, I only heard one of the calls as the ringtone itself has a silence section, and doesn't appear to play from the start at each call. It plays where ever it left off, so if its a silent part of the ringtone, good luck hearing it in ambient noise...
Whilst I am mainly happy with this phone, there are some area's that Xiaomi really need to focus on....
Cheers, Lister
That's odd, I have a large selection of ringtones and was able to use my usual mp3 ringtone with no issues at all.
Hi BobHumphrey,
(Edit, there should of been a video capture with this post, but it didnt upload... will do it again when back)
Yeah I thought it was odd, as I am sure others would of reported this if it was more wide spread.... the fact it only came with 3x ringtones??? lol
However I can't seem to add me own either...
I've added it to the MIUI folder, as advised in another website post... and I've chucked some in the standard Android folders too, but the Ringtones section doesn't seem to find them....??
Sorry for quick post, gotta nip out... but will update this more when get back.
Thanks, Lister
I went into sound and vibration > notifications> more> choose local ringtone and then picked file using the file manager.
Hi All,
Apologies, I was out all last night... I tried uploading the video here a couple of times this morning, but it kept failing with some witty error codes on this website. So I've uploaded it to another site and linked here.
Here is what is happening when I try and select additional Ringtones/Alarms/Notifications and where they are currently stored on my phone.... as per recommended location via another website with the MIUI folder..
https://gofile.io/d/W95i7h
Cheers, Lister
Well that's irritating!
