For those wondering which one it is, it's the last icon on Home and last icon on the top. I never realized this option until now. But how do i access the scheduling of ring/vibrate?
It's linked in with your WM calender. When you're in an appointment it'll vibrate and when you're not it'll ring. I'd be happier if it did the opposite as when I'm at work I could do with a louder tone, but still. I guess it's handy for some people.

Hmm, is it possible to change the settings whether you would want it to still ring on a certain appointment?
I prefer Phone Alarm for this function.

This feature is built directly into WM6 Standard. On Standard, the automatic profile would still ring if the appointment is marked as "Free." However, the HTC Home automatic profile will still mark "Free" appointments as vibrate. I have yet to figure out how to get it to do otherwise.

Has anyone figured out how to NOT switch the phone to vibrate on "free" appointments but on all others? It is quite annoying for me if the phone switches to vibrate, especially on all day birthday events.

It's frigging annoying. Even though I set the all day appointment as "free", it still goes to vibrate mode. Nearly all of my appointments are all day events. Hence I can't use the automatic mode. Damn!
If i disabled touchflo, where can you enable this option ?

When an all-day calendar event is marked free (not busy or out of office) and the automatic profile is selected, the TyTN II switches to vibrate mode. I expected the phone to remain in the normal sound profile, as if there wasn't a scheduled appointment. Is there a fix for this?

But you Do have an appointment, as you said you have an all-day calendar event...so in essence, it's an appointment.

Well no not really, its not an appointment because that would require him to be busy or out of office, its a reminder because he set the status to free.
I can say that using SPB Phone Suite in automatic profiles will not switch to meeting mode (i.e silent or whatever I set the profile to) if the appointment/calendar-entry is set to free.
The problem is that if I have a 2 day event which starts on the last day of the week (i.e Friday) and ends on the first day of the next new week (i.e Monday), on Saturday & Sunday my phone will go into meeting mode/profile which is really annoying. I wish the phone knew that weekends dont count as work days or that it would ask me if I really have 2 day event which cooincides with the weekend or is it really a 4 day event.
hey guys is there anyway to set it up where my phone only downloads my emails during set hours? i'm sick of waking up in the middle of the night cuz i just inherited $5 million dollars from my long lost ancestor in nigeria....
in active sync you can change the time interval and time to connect like 10 til 18.00 rest by hand
hey, sorry but i still dont get it. you mean i should go to activesync on my comp while my phone is connected? i did that and didnt see any settings for limiting the number of hours my phone downloads emails... please clairify. thanks

One thing I do so it doesn't wake me up at night is disable the notifications. I just remember to check my mail during the day. I don't need to get buzz/alarm each time a mail comes in. If you want to try this do the following:
Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications
From the drop down tab select "Messaging: New e-mail message" and you can set the type of alarm you get. I just disable everything.
If you're using Active Sync to sync you mail (I don't, I use IMAP) you can setup a schedule as the previous post states. Just go to ActiveSync, click on Menu and there's an option for Schedule.
I understand your frustrations with this, but rather than limiting the download, why not limit the notifications. What I found and installed was PhoneWeaver from SBSH.net. This is an automatic profile changer. With this you can specify when and what notifications are set and how loud they are. For me, I have it set to be on vibrate while during work hours, silent at night, and full ring all the rest of the time. For me, this works great.
Hope this helps.
Good suggestions, thanks. I have a 17 year old son that goes out on the weekends and I want to have my phone ring if he needs me. But I have three email accounts and several google notifications that send me a lot of emails. Middle of the night waking up to an email blows.
When I travel, I have been just putting the Kaiser into flight mode, but that doesn't let my wife phone me during an emergency. So, disabling notification before I go to bed in those situations makes a lot of sense.
Does anyone know how to assign different ringing profiles on the Tilt?
My old phone, I have different settings for a Loud Ring, Soft Ring, etc.
The reason is that I have my Tilt checking my emails every 30 minutes and it sucks when at 3 am I get a ringing from a junk email that I received.
I know that in the HTC Home for the ringer, there are 4 choices - Standard, Silent, Vibrate and Automatic....what is the automatic for?
Any advise/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Someones got to know the answer to this question. .....

I **LOVE** the Automatic Profile.
When you set the phone to Automatic the Profile is on Normal UNLESS your calendar contains an appointment that you have marked as "Busy". Whenever a 'busy' appointment happens the phone AUTOMATICALLY switches to the "Vibrate" profile for the duration of the meeting. Then, it switches back to Normal.
I love it!
I'm good at remembering to turn my sounds off during appointments.....but I never remember to turn them back on again!!!

Hm....for some reason it also changes to vibrate even if the appointment mentions that I am free...
hi, is there a way to automatically make the phone switch to silent or vibrate during appointment times? say if i have an appointment in my calender, is there a way to make the phone switch itself to silent or vibrate when its time for the appointment? thanks
I believe SPB Phone Suite can do what you require but it's not freeware and I don't know of a free alternative.

Manilla Settings tab - Sound - I have "automatically" profile there.
It allows automatically turn sound off during appointments
I use phoneAlarm, it does exactly what you want. There was a free trial when I first started using it, would've thought it'd still be the same.
It's not free but it's not that expensive either and pretty much set and forget.

PS. I use the AllRock3 theme, fits in nicely with the HTC theme

try sbsh phone weaver, run over TF3D and don´t need today plugin .
The other softs requires the today plugin, for auto profile switcher.
Re-posting this as i think it'll get more valid attention in this forum.
If this is completely the wrong forum, please remove it. I just think it'll get more discussion here, with developers.
I use my phone as my alarm clock. I keep it charging on my bedside table. I do not have a house/land-line so this is my only option for communication.
It would be nice if at night, when I'm sleeping, i can set my phone (via app or setting) to a "do not disturb" type state.
In this state, i would basically like all phone calls routed to a special voice mail, that will state to the caller that i am unavailable, and to leave a message. However if it is an emergency, give the caller an option to bypass the do not disturb state and actually ring my phone.
Same with Text Messages. I would like all text messages intercepted, and responded to via text in the same fashion, with the same option for the caller to bypass the do not disturb state and actually ring/notify me of the call/text etc.
And of course, put all other notifications to silent mode etc.
Then in the morning, i can check all notifications, phone, text etc, and see what i missed.
I hope i explained this well enough.
I would like to be able to sleep without interruption, but if something important happens, or an emergency happens, i can still be gotten a hold of.
Sounds like you want either Bedside or Tasker.

Yeah, those are close to what i want.... but a lil bit more functionality, in letting the caller decide if its important enough to bypass the do not disturb status....
But one of these apps might do if i cant find one that has those features, or someone can create one. =)
Thank you for the suggestions tho.
Tasker can disable silent mode on receipt of a codeword in an SMS
ie make your voicemail "blah blah send an SMS starting with 'EMERGENCY', all caps, if you MUST reach me"
then when Tasker gets that it will turn off silent mode and they can ring again, or you could just get Tasker to squawk when an EMERGENCY text message comes through, and you can ring them back.

So you want the app to disturb you so that you can say allow or cancel? Why not just set it to vibrant then?
@stshannon: the reference to using TASKER is probably your best bet for now. Until a more dedicated application comes along to do what you need.
Have you heard of or used Tasker?
It has unlimited capabilities.
sounds like a nice request for google voice since they already have a do not disturb, they could add a "press 1 if someone is dying to interrupt this persons beauty rest"

Hmmm, i might have to take a closer look at Tasker then, it sounds to be the closest.

No, i want the system to give the option to the caller/texter if it is an emergency or not, and if so, bypass do not disturb. But it sounds like Tasker may be very very close in functionality to what i need. Ill take a closer look at that.
Thanks to those that responded.
