Is there an app or tool that lets me use profiles, like a standard Nokia phone.
I would like an bar on my today screen where I can set a profile for normal, loud, silent, headset, meeting, etc.
With each profile have a different incomming phone call volume and ringtone. Same for Messages and notifications.
Is this availeble? or hard to create? Are should I keep on dreaming?
Thnx
try pocketzenphone (http://zendrui.free.fr/PZPForum/index.php), I use it for years now and its great!
The Ringtone you can define at the contact directly. Its not possible to change the volume for each contact seperately.
thnx
Looks like a good tool.
Only thing I dont like about it is the 30-day trail Periode.
I found Profiles - v1.2.1 on www.pocketpcfreewares.com.
Its FREE I'm gonna test it for a few days. I believe I read somewhere that it isn't all that great, but we'll see.
Thnx Calvin42
I had a little problem with my free app this morging.
I set the alarm to go of at 06:00, but it didn't.
There was no sound, so no waking up.
Gonna find me another app.
pocketzenphone is the best of all!
Try it and you won't regret it :wink:
Also give PhoneAlarm 1.30.03 a try. Personally I find it better than Pocketzenphone primarily because of the fact that it gives you the possibility of repeat alarms in case of a missed call, unread new SMS and e-mail, etc.
Kind Regards

I used the search engine and could not find a similar topic. Please excuse if this has already been asked.
Is there a way to use the alarm on the Artemis even when I have the "Silent" or "Vibrate only" profile selected.
I don't want to get woken up by incoming calls before my alarm sounds
Thanks in advance for some nice answers
PS: What exactly is the "automatic" profile ? What's its function ?
You may need 3rd party software for the job. Try PocketWakeup (freeware), that'll over write the volume settings and. give you a increase volume alarm. Takes a while to get used to it, but it is nice with a big snooze button, mp3 support etc.

Hi,
the autamatic profile function disable all sounds if you have an appointment, and switch back the sounds after the end of the appointment. Obviously this activity is regarding to the calendar entries.
Why don't you switch off the phone during the night? Not the whole pda, just the phone function of it? In this case you don't have to change to silent or vibrate mode. The alarm will work and you don't have to wake up if a call is coming, because no call will coming...

Thats a nice idea
But I have made the experience that some short messages don't make their way when you shut off the phone. Sometimes they come some days later. But I'll give it a shot . Thanks !!
You should try PhoneAlarm. It's seems to be a little frowned upon, but my experiences are good. It has the option to turn off phone and message sounds but still enable notification.
Another (supposedly more stable) solution to your needs could be "Profiles for Windows Mobile" which is offering the same options like Phonealarm without skin support.

Alarm tool
After a lot of alarm tools I found pTravelAlarm to be the best choice for me. Clean interface, snooze function with big snooze button, also works when device is locked (yes, some don't ). Big advantage is that you can use mp3's for your alarm sound and you can set the volume to wake you up, independent of the current volume.

use the alarm i attached to artemis touch 2.1 thread - first post - it works when phone is in silent mode!
Hi All,
I have the XDA Orbit running WM6.
I love it to bits, but theres one thing that annoys me...
I use the reminders in the calendar quite a lot, and I set it up to play a sound with the reminder.
The problems is if I hit Snooze or Dismiss at the same time the sound plays, the sound continues and I have to soft reset to get it to stop!
It even does this if I delete the item from the calendar!
It seems to be a timing thing so is there any way that I can increase the interval that the reminder sound 'goes off' at?
Hope I've made this clear, its a little hard to explain...
Thanks...
Hi,
My first post here, hopefully an easy one.
I really hope i am just being stupid and over looking something simple.
I have an unbranded TP2 and i use a Pay & Go SIM in it.
this has not been a problem, everything works exactly like it should. my issue is that O2 insist on sending me notification messages after every text and call.
This wasn't a problem on any other phone as notifications came in a silent, or discreet message just telling the the amount of credit i have left. Now, on the TP2 it is a very loud and intrusive noise that echos around my next to silent office. i cannot find out how to change the tone to something a little less annoying.
I dont mind if i can only use the TP2 istalled tones, i can find something suitable. But i just don't want to turn off ALL of my notifications, just their tone
Thanks for any help

Start->Settings->Sounds and Notifications
thanks for the speedy reply.
I did look there.
I can turn off notifications/ event etc, or i can change tones to most kinds of notifications, EXCEPT for the "phone" notification.
I have checked through each of the availiable settings to change to see if that makes a difference, and i still cannot find it
Thanks

Hi,
I've had a quick look through the Q&A forum but didn't see anything obvious.
Anyway, I wonder if there are recommendations on call volume management for incomming calls. My various phones have always been Nokia prior to the Desire. The Nokias have a facility to quickly config profiles and change them, e.g.:
o Meeting (one beep for incomming calls and messages);
o General
o Silent
o Outdoor
....
The profile sets various attributes like Call Volume, Ringtone, Vibrate. These are then fixed for that profile so no chance of accidentally changing the volume to silent in you pocket.
I tried a couple of Market apps but the ones I tried didn't do the job properly.
Any thoughts on this, or is it just live with it ?

did you check out an app called Setting Profiles? looks like the full version will do all you want, and there's a free version you can try.
Thanks,
I'll try it tomorrow and see if it does the business.

I am looking for an app that will override volume, vibrate, and silence settings for a contact.
The contact is for my local 911 dispatch center. It can txt out our fire pages.
I want it to sound a dedicated notification tone regardless if the phone is on vibrate or silence.
Thanks!!
id love to know this as well.

Id love to know if there was on out there as well ... I had a hard enough time finding a good ringtone replacement (went with Ringo lite) that I gave up on looking for those specific features.

I believe you could also use Tasker to set your phone exactly as you want for this action. For example, I know I can set all my volumes to max when I am getting a call from my wife. Not that I would do that ...
