I was browsing through my tabs on my HTC Home and clicked on the phone tab. There are 4 choices 1. normal 2. silent 3. vibrate and 4th one says automatic. What does the automatic selection do? It can't be ambient volume sound ringtone can it?

automatic profile is contigent on your schedule. if you have something marked as busy or something in your calendar, on that day the profile will automatically set to silent or vibrate. im not 100% on this feature, but thats how it works in general
Hi,automatic setting put the vibration when you have a rendez-vous in your calendar,or business reunion.
That makes sense now. Thanks guys.

I've got the 6 tab "HTC Homescreen" plugin installed on my AT&T Tilt.
Upon installation it included "Ringer Mode Selection" as one of the (9) launcher items. I accidentally removed it and now want to add it back, but when I attempt to re-assign it in the launcher, it doesn't appear in the app programs selection assignment list.
This launcher item is the one which allows you change the phone "ringer status" (on, off, vibrate, auto), and displays four ringer status boxes (icons) to select from. This item also displays & allows you to change the default ringtone sound.
How can I can get the phone "ringer status" selection item to appear in my launcher list again?
Thanks

Ringer Mode Selection is actually a HTC Homescreen TAB
Thanks to Kavi's help via PM, I found the answer:
'Ringer Mode Selection' is actually one of the six HomeScreen TABS (Profile Tab), and not a launcher item as I mistakenly thought. I've now got the Profile (ringer mode selection) TAB back via HTC Home Customizer.

Umm just a word of caution if you use that tab and use calendar reminders. There is definitely some flakiness in the interaction between those 2 functions.
E.g. if you use calendar and have have events chime in to remind you of those events, then switch to slent or vibrate, sometimes those reminders will get shut off and wont ring even after you switch back to ring mode.
This has been a known proven issue for some time with the HTC Home app's "profiles" tab functionality. I thought it was fixed on the Kaiser, but I now know that it is still an issue. Its an issue with how it manages notifications in the WM database.
If you don't care about notifications, then it doesn't matter. But if you do, beware that sometimes you won't get your reminder notice or sound even if you switch back to ring profile after using the silent or vibrate profiles for even a short while.
I've since removed that tab from my HTC Home via the HTC Home Customizer app, and only use the Comm Mgr "Ring/Vibrate" toggle to make the switch back and forth. It works without causing the same issue above. A couple more presses, but nothing compared to missing meetings cuz the reminder doesn't fire.
Profile Tab (ringer settings) - "Sound: Automatic"
Jomo25, thanks for the heads up about the possible conflict with profile (ringer status) tab & calender reminders.
That said, can somebody tell me what the far right most 'ringer setting' called:
Sound: Automatic is supposed to do? Thanks.

Nice! So that is why that happens I could never quite place it when it happens once and a great while.
Know of any other good "touch based/home screen" profile selector?

If you have an appointment in the calender it will automaticly switch to vibrate.
bolasz: ahhhhhhhhhhh . . . . thanks

The last tab on the HTC's home plugin is where you set up the sound (normal, silent, vibrate or automatic). Can someone tell me how the automatic setting works? Looking at the icon it seems like its similar to timed profile. Where are the settings corresponding to that?

Manual page 37: It uses same settings as in Normal mode, but vibrates on scheduled events
Automatic?

I wonder which part of this is automatic?
Once you select this profile your phone will ring and make noise when you have a new appointment ect, however during "busy" times as set in your appointments the phone will act as if it is on vibrate only.
Great feature, however once you have selected it once, it is basically always on.
Free time = Normal sounds
Busy Time = Silent with vibrate.
Hope this clarifies it for you.

Hmmm.... Mine works correctly & I am able to toggle it on & off & it only defaults to the manner mode if I have it selected.
Sounds like you shoul try another version. I use Xplodes version, however I have incorporated the fixed weather & brightness .dll.
Hello,
I'm looking for software which will be able to automatically turn off my ringtones and switch to silent or vibration mode during the night (example 10 pa -6 am), and than switch to normal mode (6am-10pm)
Create a calendar appt that lasts for the duration of when you want your phone to be silent and then set the profile to "automatic". That will automatically switch to "vibrate only" for all sounds during the appt. Make the appt recur everyday and it's probably best not to have a reminder pop up for it, unless you have trouble knowing when it's time to go to sleep.
O.O.
G-Profile is what u want.
http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gprofile/about
I use PhoneWeaver.
SPB Phone Suite (commercial) or PocketZenPhone (http://www.pocketzenphone.net/PZPForum/index.php). G-profile and Phoneweaver are buggy for me.
PhoneAlarm is the best
I use CT Scheduler (not free). It features many other things, and it great!
With my Pixel 3 I could set it to automatically go into Do Not Disturb during a calendar event (such as a meeting). I can't find this setting on the S10. Is it there, or is there an app that will do it automatically?

You can set this up in Tasker. It's a bit of a learning curve to create each scenario you want, but it can work very well.
I currently have it changing my sound mode to Vibrate and media volume to 1 when I connect to my work's WiFi. And then it will change the sound mode to Normal and media volume Max when I connect to my car's bluetooth.
I'm using Bixby Routines to set separate Do Not Disturb rules - one for weekends and one for weekdays. Surprised Samsung didn't include this ability in the Do Not Disturb settings like the Pixels have.
There is so much do not disturb customization in this version of android or perhaps specific to oneplus. I am not sure which. That I'm not sure how to make this do what I'm used to it doing on my previous device LG G4. During the day I have it more or less as follows I may be forgetting some things:
Only ring if the phone call is from someone in my contacts.
Text messages always sound etc no matter who sent them.
Email always sounds.
Calendar always sounds.
What I need is the profile to silence everything while I sleep. To do this on the LG G4 I had a sleep profile from 12am to 12pm that set all volume controls to zero. And somehow though I can't remember ended that sleep profile early if I had an alarm go off during that time frame so that I could be disturbed because I was no longer sleeping after the alarm went off. The reason for the 12am to 12pm time frame was to give leeway to time going to bed and also time for waking up without an alarm. The idea was so that I didn't forget to silence things before going to be and forget to undo that once I was awake.
So typically DND settings built into android allow at least close to this level of control. I'm not sure how Oxygen OS is configured, but on a Pixel I can configure DND to ring only for starred contacts, but allow text and other notifications through. Or, silence everything.
All of that said, you should be able to manage volume levels through Tasker, reject (send to voicemail) calls that are not in your contacts.
If you import your old profile, doesn't it work on the OnePlus?

Stupid me I forgot to backup my old tasker stuff so I have to start from scratch again.
In the do not disturb setting UI of the settings UI there are the following:
Toggle DND on/off: this is toggled on and is set to stay on all the time.
Behavior heading
Notifications: tapping it opens a new UI giving you some default choices for notifications in general. I have this set to no sound at all. And override DND in specific areas outside of this part of settings regarding notifications from SMS/MMS messages, email, voicemail, calendar alarms. Might be one or two I am forgetting to mention.
Exception heading
Calls: tapping here brings up settings to allow calls from (anyone, contacts only, starred contacts only, none.) I have this set to contacts only.
Messages: same detail as calls. Set same as calls.
Other sounds: toggles to allow alarms, media, and touch sounds. I have these toggled to allow.
As for the other stuff that overrides DND I accessed that setting from within each of the apps settings. Not sure if that was a redirect from the app settings to a system settings area that I'm not aware of how to get to otherwise. So what I need is a profile that will mute everything while I sleep and return to how everything is currently set. On the LG G4 I accomplished this by turning all volumes to zero for sleep and then restored them all to 100% upon either the end time trigger of the sleep profile on upon an alarm I set to get up before the end of the timeframe of the profile.
What I was wondering if this was the way to go or if a more simple toggle one setting would accomplish it. I didn't see any DND setting in the system setting for no interruptions at all despite the overrides set. What I'm thinking is the same approach as before and set media, notification, ringer, and system volumes to zero and restore to 100% at end. The part I can't remember how I did it was ending the sleep profile when an alarm goes off that I set to a time prior to the end of the timeframe of the profile. Any idea how I would have done that?
I think which ever way gets you where you want to be is the way to go [emoji6]
On my Google phone, that's the ability to mute everything except alarms. There is also a toggle to disable DND when an alarm goes off.
As far as using tasker to turn volumes back up when an alarm goes off, my way of doing that is to intercept the notification for the alarm. Again, I'm using Google clock, and the way the notifications work may be different on your device.
Here is a taskernet share of a basic project using a notification intercept of the Google Clock alarm. Because there can be namespace collisions with imported projects, I append a variant of my username into variables, task and project names.
For everything to work the way it did I would need the sleep profile to end when an alarm goes off. The problem is I can't remember how that was done. I don't see an end condition that can be added to the sleep profile. The actual sleep profile is the only part I can remember enough to have replicated at this point. It being a from 12am to 12pm with a start task that turns all the volumes down to zero and an end task that turns them all back up. The alarm part I can't recall how it was done.
What was wrong with the notification intercept I shared?
That particular project was to put a large dismiss/snooze on the screen for a low vision individual, but it intercepts the alarm firing notification (for Google clock) and as I already said, intercepting the notification is the way I would do it.
It looks like it is a nice project, but it is requiring a plug-in. However the toggle was made before didn't require any additional things to be added. Isn't there a native event or state that a profile can trigger when an alarm goes off?
I assumed you tried using the native alarm clock or alarm done events in a profile and those didn't work. If you haven't, then try them. They don't work on my devices.
You could research java functions to get the next alarm and use the native java function action to then set a profile time context.
Remembered that tasker was designed to be a framework into which functionality could be added through plugins.
One of those is probably what was used on my LG G4. Now to figure out if this was a part of the one profile or a separate profile. I assume 2nd profile as I don't see any way of adding a 2nd end condition to the first. I remember when it was originally designed the conversation arriving at a solution to function as wanted was a long one. What bothered me is that the thread it took place in is missing from the forum it took place in. I even attempted to inquire there again about making it but after a week of no response I figured it was no longer a good place to post at.

What do you mean "2nd end condition"? A second context (condition) in the profile? Long press the first context.
The sleep profile uses time condition 12am to 12pm. I only need a 2nd condition that ends it but doesn't impact the start. I know for sure I can do that with a second profile now that I know what I needed to use to as event trigger. I can run a task that toggles off the sleep profile and toggles it back on some hours later to trigger again at 12am. I wasn't sure if the alarm event could be an alternative condition for end so that the sleep profile was 12am to alarm done or 12pm.
