Alarm Question - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

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.

Profiles

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

Speakerphone to default to "on"

Anyone know of a registry tweak to have the speakerphone set to a default on position? It is a PITA to always have to press that button and when retrieving voicemail you first have to hide the keypad and then turn it on. I know it's petty...but it should be added to one of the tweak programs as an option under the phone tab...and I've searched this many times but came up with nada.
Vito Audio Notes has a feature that you can set to have Speaker Phone Initiate on every call, both incoming & outgoing.
I'm thinking of buying it for the recording feature.

Have you tried this?:
"answer with speakerphone by holding down the send button (button with the green phone icon on it) for a couple of seconds when answering the call. Likewise to toggle speakerphone on and off, simply hold down the send button for 2-3 seconds while in a call."

Yes, I do answer the phone that way some of the time. I don't always remember that shortcut but that's my fault. I still would like to just be able to default to speakerphone on and toggle it off when I need privacy.
This is how I found the above, I typed 'answer speaker phone'.
http://forum.xda -developers.com /showthread.php?t=298893
btw, Vito isn't free.
However, it has to be making some kinda behind the scenes change, for it to have all calls be answered by speaker phone.
Maybe it's just making a simple reg edit.
I guess another option is to figure out what that change is.
You could ask Vito, maybe he would tell you.

Repeat Alarm tone/ Edit SMS tone

Hi,
1) Does anyone know how to set the SMS tone to ring twice ie: like nokia or SE default tones (I usually dont notice it ringing the first time)
and how to change SMS tones? I can't seem to find that option. Been searching around can't figure out the answer.
2) Similiar for the Alarm, How do I get it to repeat indefinitely? One short ring isn't enough to wake me up
Funny you started this topic,
last 2 days i slept over... so i came to late on my work.
I tried the alarm in the morning, and it rings, but one time...
i can't wake up by one ring...
Alarm - You can go into TF3D - Settings - System - Clock & Alarms and set the tone there to repeat. Although mine repeats on its own...?
SMS tone - Use an editor and copy and paste the tone after itself, that how Nokia tones are done, its not "repeated", its only played once, its just the actual file has the same repeated in it.
Yep, I got that.. Now is there any way to decrease the wait between "repeats"? There seems to be long wait between repeats and it only gets longer each time
i followed you instructions on how to get the alarm to repeat, but now it plays the tone then long silence then it will play it again. I'v tried this will all the preset tones an it does the same, is there a way to get the alarm to continually play, or a good alarm app that wont interfere with the tf3d on the tp2
I have the same problem with the default alarm that the delay between the alarm is just way too long. you can try klaxon or g-alarm (v1.5.1 is still free) as an alternative.
I use this

for alarm and have no problems

Changing SMS tone is easy when you find it! If you go to Settings / Sound / Advanced / Notifications tab and select Messaging: New Text Message you can select the sound file you want etc.

Watch still rings with phone on vibrate only

OK so I figured if I set my phone volume to vibrate only, like I typically do when I'm in a meeting or at a Dr appointment, that my watch would also change to vibrate only, but it doesn't appear to do so because my watch still rings if I receive a call. Anyone else have this issue? If I set my phone to Do Not Disturb, then it silences my watch, but that also disables vibration which I do not want. I know I can also go into the watch menu and disable sound that way, but I just thought it was suppose to mirror the phone settings.
What about selecting "Sound on/off" from the drop down menu on the watch?

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I have already tried that. It just turns off sounds on the watch and not on the phone.
Sorry to revive a dead thread... going to bump here. But did you ever figure this out? Anyone? Thanks. =)
I was about to start a new thread about this when I found this one. I also want my watch to ring when my phone does and not when my phone is muted. I attend a few events a week where everyone's phone must be muted. I imagine that do not disturb mode would work, but I use vibrate only so I'll at least feel when I get notifications.
If I'm reading this Google article right, this should be possible and automatic: https://support.google.com/androidwear/answer/6056843?hl=en

Work around(s) for enabling top speaker for ringtones / notifications?

I as well as many other previous Nexus 6p owners have been noticing that ringtones / notifications only come out of the bottom speaker of the Pixel 2 XL. The irony of this is that any app besides the "Settings" app has all sound coming out of both speakers. Is there a program / workaround anyone knows of? I don't care if I have to root my phone; I want to use my dual front facing speakers!
Thanks,
~Mike
Too bad this apparently is not considered a bug, its just how its suposed to work. In my opinion its pretty dumb not to allow both speakers on incoming calls/notifications from Google.
I'm getting sounds out of both speakers when my phone rings. Not sure if this happened before I updated to 8.1, but I don't think so. Tested it with more than one ringtone, stock and custom. Now, my problem is the screen won't come on when the phone rings. I hope an update to the phone app fixes this soon.
Yes my also only the bottom one firing. Any solution?
Bumping this up, any solution?
Can someone please make a mod to enable dual speakers for ringtones?
Currently.. i am studying about sound mod on pixel 2 oreo 8.1.
My main objective is to fix the crackling issue.. btw.. i will look into this one too

I use a Tasker profile to get around this issue. Basically, I monitor the status of calls, and when the phone is ringing, I play my ringtone as media. Then as soon as the call is answered or ignored (offhook or idle), the exit task stops the media. I just set my actual ringtone in settings to "none". Other than that, it behaves exactly like a ringtone should. My task also matches the media volume to the ringtone volume while ringing, then restores the previous media volume setting. That way, if your phone is on vibrate, it won't still ring out loud. I can do a detailed write up on how I did it if anyone needs it.

That sounds like a great idea that I'd like to try. Can you please share that profile?
Like I said in other posts, sound does come out of both speakers with calls and notifications. When you're choosing a sound in settings, it does indeed only come out of the bottom speaker. I can't believe I'm the only one who has sounds coming out of both speakers when a call comes in. I've tested it with multiple sounds, too.

Confused with what you are saying. Are you saying that when you choose a ringtone in settings you no longer have it coming out of only the bottom speaker?

Yes. It only comes out of the bottom speaker when I'm picking the sound. When someone calls, I hear it from both speakers. I've tried this with both custom and system sounds.

Thanks a lot! I've only used profiles and tasks in Tasker before, but your project imported just fine. All I had to do was change your task's ringtone to mine and set my phone's ringtone to none. Now to wait for someone to call me.

ccoulterjg1 - please provide detailed instructions on how to get tasker profile to resolve the issue of the ring volume using the ring speaker configuration instead of the media speaker configuration, which should resolve the issue, as media volume is quite loud and ring volume is not (I need to be able to hear my phone ring when I am sleeping, and on-call).
