hey everyone, i have a att tilt and was curious if i am able to change my ringer profile from normal to load like on other windows phone. Ive been searching and i haven't found a definite answer . thanks again steve
You can use SPB PhoneSuit. It has many profiles options and its customizable.
I think you will find this litlle app very helpful. (Phone Alarm) You can set like up to 10 custom profiles your phone, ie Work, Home, Theater. Then you can set it up so that either based of time or ur GPS position, the profile will automatically change. Or you can just make a simple silent profile and loud profile and then manually switch back and forth.

Hi All,
New to this forum (and to PDA phones). I recently got a Vario III which so far is working very well.
A couple of queries though! I want to set up sound profiles.
eg:
General - All Alerts (Mail/Call/Alarm/Notification) give a vibrate and ring
Silent - All Alerts (Mail/Call/Alarm/Notification) gives a vibrate
Night Mode - Call and Alarm Alerts gives a ring while Mail and Notifications are slient
The problem is that I use my current phone as my alarm clock but spam often arrives to the Vario III in the night disturbing my beauty sleep (which I need lots of) so I put the phone on silent but then the alarm doesn't sound!
I'm sure if I can do this or even how I go about it so any hints would be greatly appreciated.
Also can anyone recommend a bluetooth handsfree that works with it? My current Sony Erricson one isn't recognised for some reason!
Thanks in advance,
Phill
Phill,
I use phoneAlarm from pocketmax.net
pA let you set profiles and automate them per time and/ or specific situation (like automatically switching to Flight mode for a scheduled flight)
There is not a blacklist capability (yet), but you can set a profile that shuts off the SMS and email alarms during certain times.
Great app!
Good luck!
Richard
PhoneAlarm is a very good product, but it can be overkill for some.
SPB Phone Suite is a "lighter" app with less customization, but many of the same features. It also adds whitelist/blacklist capabilities and automatic profile switching.
There are other apps that you can find as well with a quick Google search.
Personally, I find Phone Suite to be perfect for me, but if you want more profiles & control, PA is a better product.
I just use flight mode at night and switch the phone to vibrate for theaters and the like. Easy but effective. Of course, I don't want to have my sleep interupted by a phone call, your needs/desires may be different.
The advantage to PA, Phone Suite and similar apps is the automated features. When my calendar has an appointment that shows my time as "busy," the phone goes into vibrate mode automatically. When I connect with my BT headset, the profile goes to "Headset" and reconfigures some settings automatically. When it's night, the phone only rings for people on my white list and I don't get most notifications.
There's more to the app than that, but it's that's a rough summary of the profiles. It's a great addition to the today screen and phone.
I've been searching the forum but can only find volume changers for the standard "Volume" function of the phone, where as i want one which controls alot of volumes or just specific phone-based volumes (that made sense?)
Basically voice commander / tomtom 7 etc really need the phone volume to be set on max (plus the application on max), which is fine.. until i send a text message & everyone in the house gets woken up by a PONGPONG!!!!! sound & i have to change my shorts.
So i need to keep swaping the volume up & down, i know this sounds like a silly thing to be bugging me but omg it does!
Is there anyway to set program specific volumes?
or any other way that'll solve my problems, just to shut up the phones OS based sounds so they play at a tolerant volume rather than so loud my ears bleed.
well, you can set the master volume to high, and disable all the sounds and notifications you dont want. OR craft up your own sound using a sound editor and tweak it to have less volume, then map it to whatever notification u desire to have a sound.

Hmm yeah i had thought of that but its alot of work, was kinda hoping someone could just say "Download this, problem solved"
Check out a program called TomTom Started located over at FreewarePPC.com. It will automatically max out your volume when you launch TomTom, and turn if back down when it closes.
For future reference, I found this answer by searching "tomtom set volume to max" using XDA's Google search engine.
Hi
I have used a bit software on an older WM phone, that allowed you to set up profiles, but not only change ringtones, volume etc but things like connection status - bluetooth off/on, wi-fi off/on, etc depending on which profile you had engaged.
I now think this would be really helpful again so I can automatically switch bluetooth on for say a car profile so then I can use my handsfree.
I still have the SPB software but was wondering if anybody else out there has seen any other software that does this, and if so what do you think is the best if you have tried several?
Using the search I found a load of threads, this one might help

I reckon its PhoneAlarm your thinking about. I use this for the same reason, auto switch profiles at selected times/or location.
I also like the one touch on/off/selection/over-rides etc, plus a decent scrolling costs/data etc depending on the "skin"used.(some have weather plug-ins etc)
Trial version on web site to try before you buy.

I spose I should note that I dont use touchFlo as my home screen, but a combination of PhoneAlarm/BatterStatus/and standard today items just suits the way I like my set-up.

Hello. Here is what I am looking for and maybe my Fuze can already do this, but I can not figure it out.
I would like to have more control of the phone profile options like I used to have on my Blackberry phones. Basically I want to be able to make custom profiles.
For example. With my old phones I was able to use an "advanced" feature in the phone profile section to create what I called a "night" setting. When this setting was activated the entire phone was on silent (texts, emails, etc, everything was silent) EXCEPT the phone, which would ring if I received a call. So it was basically a "phone only" setting. This was perfect at night because I would only receive a call if it was a real emergency.
Or let's say I want EVERYTHING to vibrate EXCEPT the phone that I want to ring. On my Fuze I see how to put the entire phone on "vibrate" or "silent", or "normal", but how do I adjust those profile settings if I want to or create new profiles
Is there a program/script/plugin that will accomplish this? Or can I already do it on the phone?
Thanks for any help with this.
i am looking for something like this too so if anyone knows of a program that does this or can make one that would be really awesome.
phoneAlarm from pocketmax.net is the program you want.
You can create several different profiles controlling everything from ring and alarm tones to backlight level to WiFi status and automate switching between each of them based on time, appointment, location...
Though written as a Today screen plug-in, there is a TouchFlo support mode that lets you run TF as well.

dgduris, thank you for the info. I am going to go check it out now to learn more. I am currently using spb Mobile shell. Does it work with this program?
thanks again for the info. I will report back what I find and how it works!
How does phonealarm support TouchFlo? I used to use phonealarm with my 8525. But with my new Fuze, I've been trying out SBSH Phoneweaver. Which seems to be working well enough. It has a pop-up profile screen menu overlay that I set to one of my buttons.
spb phone suite was the answer for me. really a nice program.
does spb phone suite mess with the Touch Flo? and my manila? i dont want to have the entire SPB thing show up in my home screen. I want to it to be like an app where i can just open it and chang I just want to be able to change profie profiles and then close it again.
I believe it will be in your profiles or setting list and it does not mess with TF3D. It works great with my Mobile Shell touch screen settings also.
Hi folks
I'm just curious as to what alarm applications you guys are using. I'm find the built in "Clock & Alarms" to be somewhat limited as it only allows for 3 alarms.
I would like something similar to it, but to be able to easily add new alarms, and maybe even customize the ringtone/vibrations for them individualy, if possible.
Thanks for your interest

You won't find anything better than G-alarm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422362
I use the alarm functionality in MortPlayer.
It has the advantage of turning the volume up and launching itself (obviously).
This leaves my phone ready to resume playing the podcast or audio book I was listening to the night before with just one button press.
This affords me another 30 seconds in bed ;-)

I've tried them all, and for me, the best is phoneAlarm, PERIOD!!!
SPB Time
While not free, it is a nice option. Very easy to use.
After trying Mobile Shell, I tried just about everything else the SPB house has put out. Some I tried and deleted, like the lame SPB Online, this is one I kept.
i second G-alarm. nice if you are looking for a free program.
pTravelAlarm
I also agree that G-Alarm is one of the best. You can set multiple alarms for reoccurring times and days. Also, you have to make a ball run through a maze before you can hit the "Snooze" button. It kind of forces your mind to wake so you dont just roll over, hit a snooze and fall back asleep
Also, it also automatically turns the volume to max even if its on silent. Handy feature if you do like I do and leave your cell on silent all of the time when working, then forget to turn it back on later

Here's a good one, too.
SPB Time
Like someone said earlier: Since I use Spb Mobile Shell, I found that Spb Time is perfect. It includes an optional today plugin and can be a tab in Mobile Shell. It lets you set one-time alarms, recurring alarms and you can set specific sound files to each one (can also set to vibrate and auto-snooze).
I still use pTravelalarm.

very good, and finger-friendly. installed all of the others mentioned above and winded up using this. Still happy.
