Does anyone know of an app that currently works on Honeycomb that will set the device and notifications to 0 at a certain time and change it back to 100 at another time? I tried timeriffic and it'll update the volumes if the tablet is active but it looks like if the time comes by and the tablet is in sleep mode then the volumes do not change.
Just looking for a convenient way to manage notification volumes at night just in case I forget to set my volume to 0 and emails don't wake me up!
Thanks in advanced to anyone that can help.

Tasker works for the xoom would allow you to do this but its much more powerful than what you're looking for. Its also somewhat more complicated to configure and set up, but it would allow your device to react and change settings based on all sorts of inputs (location, time, charging, headphones plugged in, etc).

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

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

Hey everyone. I have an issue with my phone. When i go to change my ringtone volume from the homescreen, it changes the media volume. I reboot the phone and it adjusts the standard volume for the ringtone. After a while, it goes back to only adjusting the media volume from the homescreen. Even after i use advanced task killer to kill all applications. Is there any way to fix this issue? It is becoming very annoying to have to reboot my phone 3 times a day. Thanks again!
if you have headphones in then it will change media volume, do you have your heaphones or any other device connected to you phone?
nope not at all. I mean i love the phone but this is getting crazy. I still have a worthless GPS after flashing the new files and this issue going on. I think its software related because the media volume doesnt get stuck after inserting any headphones in the jack. So i really have no idea.
same here.
Was about to post the same issue.
Somehow I get the "media volume" instead of "ringer volume".
If I reset the device it gets fixed.
If a play a game, and then exit, it gets screwed again.
Checked for any app in memory but its empty.
Whats wrong?
Thanks in advance.
The volume rocker checks for what activity you're doing currently. If you're using media player or Navigation or games, the volume will be 'Media Volume'. If you played a game and exited, and your volume stuck with the 'Media Volume', it is probably the issue with that game who didn't properly reset the environment when exited.
Note, even if you're on Home screen, if you still have those apps running, your volume will stay that way. If you want to change ringer volume, just lauch phone dialer and change there.
Thanks for your reply foxbat
Thats what I thought too. That there should be somehting in the background still running so the phone still thinks its on it so the volume would be set to media.
However, I have 0 active apps running and even when I go to phone mode the control buttons on the side still shows media volume instead of ringer.
Thanks again for your time mate.

Your issue seems to be related to a particular game you played. That's the issue with game itself.
Gonna test it out a bit more.
I am looking for an alternative to LightFlow and Ambient Display, something a little more, natively compatible with the device. Ambient Display unfortunately fades quick AND comes coupled with automatic turn on when picked up, two things I can't stand. LightFlow seems to cause some wakelocks and is a pain to reconfigure every time I flash a rom or kernel, etc. I was wondering if any other users on here have had any luck using any other methods of notification. I have really been looking for a good app to give m a repeat sound notification (e.g. sound notification goes off after 15 min or something) or any luck with an app like Dashclock, etc. If anyone has had any luck with notifications without LED, I would be curious to hear your setup.
I know, I know, this is probably the most elementary thing I could ask for, but it's been years and I don't remember any which way how to navigate Tasker.
Simple task is, when connecting to a certain BT receiver, turn media video down to half, when disconnecting, default back up to max.
I think once this is under my belt, I'll be able to work out the rest, but would appreciate any help!
State- net- by connected
Task. (Create new with volume levels
Back out to save task
Press and hold task and add new exit task with the full volume levels
Think that will work I'm kinda new too though

Has anyone got any experience with automating sound settings with Tasker on the Huawei P10?
I have a task that should turn off the WiFi & turn up the BT volume when connected to my car's WiFi. My WiFi gets turned off as expected when I connect, but the volume stays at 0.
This task worked flawlessly with my Sony Xperia I upgraded from.
I have experience with tasker service getting killed every few days on my p10. I have no idea why.

Some actually! I've used Tasker for several years on the P10, P9, HTC M9, M8 M7 etc etc and have similar profiles running to turn off WiFi, read out SMS's etc when I connect to my car.
Firstly is Phone Audio & Media Audio both turned on in the settings of the paired device (car) in Bluetooth settings?
What volume are you trying to change, phone call, media or both? (In Tasker... BT Voice Volume or Media Volume?)
I've just tested my P10 in Tasker, while connected to my car, and both BT Voice and Media change volume up and down with no issues.

On the Phone: Settings, Apps, Settings, Special Access, Ignore Optimisations, All Apps at top, Allow Tasker
In Tasker: Preferences, Monitor tab, Run in Foreground (Probably ticked already)

OK, how about this bit then (shouldn't make any difference if you've allowed Tasker to ignore optimisations, but you never know!)...
Settings, Apps, Tasker, Battery, Power Intensive prompt & Close after screen locked both off
While I've not specifically noticed Tasker being killed, I've noticed the P10 (& my P9 before it) would sometimes randomly close things anyway, nevermind what ignore options were ticked! But they did usually restart of their own accord soon after. May just be a "glitch" with EMUI/Huawei phones!

Yep, both are already off. And it's the same for dropbox. Photos just won't upload anymore after few days.
Looks like huawei really is overly enthusiastic in closing background apps

My task is set to turn the media volume to max (15) then adjust the BT volume to max (again, 15) before turning the phones WiFi off. I've also tried to use the app Volume Profile, which has a Tasker plugin. I don't know if I need to set a delay? My old phone worked without one, but I remember I had timing issues in the past with other phones.

I had similar problems, they seemed to go away over time. I remember reading in reviews that Huawei uses machine learning to optimise app response and battery, so I don't know if that's influenced things improving over time. I remember my phone mysteriously revoking notification access I granted apps.

Don't think you need a delay, mine certainly doesn't, just done a test again changing both at the same time without a delay...no problems
This is the task I just tested....
Tester (50)
A1: BT Voice Volume [ Level:8 Display: On Sound: Off ]
A2: Media Volume [ Level:8 Display: On Sound: Off ]
Try it on yours. The "Display" bit just shows it's worked. You don't actually need it, but it's a good "bug check" as would be the Sound option, to make sure the task is actually working. The 50 is just the number of my task.

Yes you may be right, certainly Huawei does seem to mess about with permissions etc that other android phones don't!
