Ok, i put my phone on silent mode from 2230hrs until 0700hrs every day. But some weeks i start work at 0530hrs and my alarm still sounds.
Sometimes i need to do a shift swap and forget to set my alarm but it is on my google calender.
Is there a way to play calendar alarms / event tones / notifications even when phone is in silent mode?
I have looked through the phone settings but thought i may have missed something.
I also use an app called Timeriffic which i find quite useful
Thanks.
using ARHD7.2.2 intil tonight when i move to 8.0.0

I'm new to Android, coming from WM6.1. I am unable to find info on something I suspect is basic: is there a way to turn off audible notifications, and can I put a shortcut to the setting on a homescreen?
My EVO kept going off last night, seemed like every hour or so, to remind me of someone's birthday. I was too tired to get up and turn if off.
Can I turn those kind of notifications off temp without turning off the ringer?
Maybe someone could point me where to find this info? did a search b4 work but found nothing.
Don't have the Evo in front of me, but I believe if you go to your calendar, click on an event. Go to menu, more, then settings. From there you will have the option about alerts and what not.
Well, yes, thats true. However, that supposes you REMEMBER there is an event coming, which kind of negates the need to put it in your calender in the first place.
With my WinMo 6.1 Fuze I was able to set both the ringer volume and the notification volume separately, simply using the volume rocker on the side of the phone. so every night I would turn the notification volume down and leave the ringer volume alone.
I use quick settings as my default settings from the market for things such as volume and brightness because it allows you to keep it in your notification shade.
if you had that installed you would do as follows >volume control>and then slide the volumes down individually for alerts, ringer, notifications, etc. I think that is what you are trying to do. then you could set it back.
So I just overslept because my alarm didn't sound because my gingerbread phone was on silent mode and eh06 has a bug that keeps alarms from playing in silent mode. Then I remembered this app which comes on whenever you put your phone volume to silent and asks you how long. Its called Shush on the market. Handy workaround for the no alarm in silent bug by automatically restoring your ring for you.
Hope this helps someone not oversleeping like I just did!

Personally I'd consider no alarm in silent mode to be intentional. Silent is supposed to stay silent.
As for what you're trying to do, I'd recommend using Tasker. You can do pretty much anything you'd want to automate your phone for, with just one running process in the background. For this, you could just set a simple timer that resets your volume every night at 5am before the alarm goes off. Or you could replace the stock alarm entirely.

Well its not the behavior of the alarm in ec05 it is only in the leaks of gingerbread and even in the leaks if you eneable the smart alarm feature which plays relaxing sounds before the alarm those sounds play bit the alarm does not.

So I overslept today - no alarm. And it turned out that my new ONE X doesn't want to sound the alarm, when it is in flight (airplane) mode. This is the case not only with the stock alarm, but also with a couple of other alarm apps I've tried.
I prefer to go flight mode during the night, to make sure there are no random messages through any medium whatsoever. The option "also in silent mode" is ticked on, if this is of any consequence.
Is there anything one can do?
Also, alarm in the silent mode (even if the corresponding option is checked) doesn't produce sounds, only vibration. This is lame.
Yeah, and bump for the op.
Noone is bothered by that or noone else has that problem?
I use the HTC Dock App as my alarm clock, that works fine
Si
this is it
just put mine in silent and set a test alarm, worked fine with sound - you sure your alarm volume is turned up?
i9300 4.1.2 rooted stock ROM, howevever frozen/uninstalled many system apps.
Currently have app Silent Hours which successfully allows calls through while it has activated mute.
I however want an app which can perform a quick mute, preferably with widget on home screen, while still allowing customized numbers through. Silent hours does have a quick mute function, but it does not allow calls through with this function. So at the moment I have to go into silent hours, choose start time and and end time, what day, then I get what i want. It's just too tedious. Plus I'd like to customize what numbers to let through; it can only allow all calls.
I started looking around and tried some apps, but none of them unmutes when call is made to a S3 it seems:
Mute-o-matic is very fancy with all the features I want, mailed dev, no response.
What I tried:
Custom event in mute o matic, set time from one minute from now and waited for mute. Then made call from number on exceptions list (tried two different cell phones), call is coming through but no sound. Auto-sms reply works.
Calendar event. Again, no ringtone but SMS is working.
Restarted app, restarted phone
Closed all other apps, clearing memory, closing all active services.
Frozen all other similar mute apps.
Custom level to 6
I tried all other relevant apps I could find on play store; all of them failed in unmuting.
I just now gave play another go. Searched all free apps for "Mute", and tried all app with required features.
Mute 'N caller - fails to unmute.
RD Mute - can't put in mute mode via the triggers
perhaps the reason is one of the system apps I removed or my ROM being screwed up some other way, since the apps lists S3 as tested and working. I would however before flashing appreciate if some of you could tell me an app that is working for you!
edit:
Tried out even more apps.
RD Mute - can't put in mute mode via the triggers
Doesn't work at all:
VIP calls https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vision.vipcallseng&hl=sv
mute n call
Selective Silence, neither in silent mode or vibrate https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.selectivesilence&feature=search_result
Settings profile
Followed instructions from http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...pp-lets-you-only-have-certain-calls-ring.html
If post 9 then then phone rings irrespective of number being allowed or not
If post 13 phone does not ring if allowed number, neither in vibration or silent mode.
Partially works:
Auto ring, only if set to vibrate - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.auto.ring&hl=sv
Fully works:
Call filter alarm https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.pezzin.callfilteralarm.free - However it does not have that many options.
Guess I'll use touchwiz blocking mode in the mean time. It's easy to manually trigger, but does not have SMS-text reply and can only be automated on/off between a certain time, which is the same for all days. But I can use silent hours or call filter alarm for that.

Check this app out:
Call Master: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
Call Master Pro Key: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist.key
Been using that for many years now and it's the best call block app out there but it cost money and it's worth it. But you need root on the phone to use it.
And that is the best way to get rid of that annoying callcenter sellers and other idiots that calling you everyday

From the description it doesn't look like this app will make my phone ring if I have it in vibrate/silent mode. I need everything, mail, chat, other notifcations etc, to be silent. The only way the phone should make noise is if alarm goes off or number on whitelist is calling.
edit: just tried it out, naturally it did not unmute. Installed call master -> gave root permission -> new profile -> create new list -> added exception for number -> actions -> added action Filter calls & SMS -> allow.
Hi,
There is a setting in do not disturb mode to allow alarms only, but alarm does not work even so. Alarm icon appears on the top tray, if I touch it, it comes to foreground and rings. I have to leave do not disturb mode to use alarm. Has anyone noticed this?
US version BND-L24, build B130.
