Hey guys,
I've tried searching about everywhere, and it almost seems like im an isolated incident, but...
Im currently running WM6.1 on my vario 3. I've set my alarm to go off each night, sounding the typical alarm. I've got the "enable sounds for Notifications (Alarms, reminders)" bit ticked. However, i put my fone on silent before i go to bed (because i get random emails and txts thru the night which wake me up ). Because of this, the fone doesnt reactivate the sounds for the alarm... so all i get is a little notification come up sayin that the alarm is going.
As you can imagin, having a notification pop up isnt going to wake you up...
Is there any way that i can have my fone on silent, and yet have the alarm sound in the morning? I dont particularly want to run any other clock app, as with the built in one, its running all the time and its set for monday-friday.
Is this even possible? or do i have to get another app?
thanks guys!
Sure it's called AIRPLANE mode. Just turn the phone part off and crank that volume up.
yea, that would work too...
but im curious as to whether there is any way of doing this without having to turn the phone function off...
back on my SE k800, the alarm would still do its thing even in silent mode... and if the fone was off
You have to use a third party app.
go to sounds and notifications in the settings area. then turn off the recieve new emails notification. This is what I do since I receive junk emails late at nite too.

but then, wouldnt you have to reenable these again in the morning? otherwise, u wont be notified of when you get important/real mails?
Thinking out loud here - Couldnt you have a meeting mode or some other mode where you set all the other notifications to silent but leave the alarm loud and when you go to bed put it in that mode?
I will admit I am just tlaking off the top of my head and have not actually tried it. Just a suggestions?

I use PhoneWeaver with scheduled profiles. So at 11:30pm the phone goes silent in the Night profile, and at 5:30am the phone switches back to Day. I have a 5:45am alarm set to go off in the alarms.
You can do the same with PhoneAlarm ... or PhoneAlarm Lite.

PhoneAlarm definitely has more options and configurations, but I've found PhoneWeaver to be simpler, more reliable and it covers the features I use.
There are some free solutions for profile switching out there too, if I can find them I will repost.

ya. this this where it really sucks. I don't know why wm6 don't have diferent ring profiles.
if anyone knows of any free solutions or programs, please let us know.
Sorry if this is a hijack - i've never used the feature, but what does the icon on HTC Home's phone announcement mode with the clock do? There's Loudspeaker Ring On, Silent, Vibrate Only, and then another option that I haven't yet figured out the purpose of.

i would like to know too. i thought this was the other profile but seems to be the same as the ring on. Anyone have the answer?
i thought they were just like "profiles"... like how when u click on the sound icon in the taskbar, uve got the dropdown menu with the 2 volume levels, with the 3 options underneath it...
those alarm clocks sound good, possibly the best option so far...
but im still holding onto the dream that there is some way of actually using the alarm like you would do with a normal fone... hopefully the xperia would still have SE functionality
is there any way for the alarms to repeat every min till i snooze it ?? also itd be great to set a loud mp3 as an alarm.
any good third party alarm ??? other than phone alarm ??
i find phone alarm very confusing and buggy.
@billgatessucks and corleno
Try enAlarmPPC. You can use MP3 as alarm sound, vibrate, random, snooze, and choose to override system sound settings. You can completely turn off all your sound, and enAlarmPPC will still give you sound!
[EDIT] Added some screenshots; BTW only $8.00 at Handango

thanks a bunch johanromijn
ill try it out now
does this app run all the time in the background? or do u need to open it up like u would with any program etc?
so i can either put my fone on silent, and then remember to open up an app... or... i just put the fone into flight mode? :S
I have a strange problem with my HTC One.
If I receive a call, the ringtone but 1 second and then stops the sound.
It does not matter whether I have the phone in my pocket or that he is on the table.
For me further is that if I remove the phone from sleep very briefly a musical note with line through it appears in the notification bar.

That's the silent mode icon.
However, the whole behavior is strange. Unfortunately I have no idea what can cause this, cause I never had such a problem with any of my HTC phones.
Rogue app, Tasker ?
So here is my problem,
When I play music or a video (say on youtube) on max speaker volume as much as my device limit, after a while volume automatically lowers down.If I check sound panel, it still shows all volume maxed out.It took a while to get back to original max volume.
Any help would be appreciated:fingers-crossed:
actually that happens whe any notification sound occurs as i face it too
i fix it by sending myslelf a normal msg to make the sound again and make it loud and then i silent my mobile

I too face this. Mostly happens when the track is paused but several times, it happens for just no reason.

I've seen this happen on my phone as well, but only on the hooq app. Right now, the only fix for this seems to be to close the app by swiping it away from recent apps or force close it altogether.
I usually keep my phone on silent. Even so, when I get a WhatsApp message notification for example, the volume from Spotify temporarily decreases. This is quite annoying, and it's why I have the phone on silent in the first place.
Is this normal? I haven't tested it with other apps yet.
Thank you!
I have the same issue. Did you solve it or does anyone know how to do so?
Hi all .
Is there anyway to turn on Notification sounds for my phone when bluetooth headphones ARE CONNECTED?? So I would be getting notification twice I guess - mainly which I want from the phone, and secondly from the headphones
Thanks

Turn. On Bluetooth then connect your headphones. If you get a notification in the status bar, you can long press on that notification and change the preference to sound and notify

You want to look for the Bluetooth notification, if you get any.
None sorry, any other suggestions ?
