I am not a programer but I have though of a useful tool if anyone talented could make it work. It would be nice to have a program that would restore WM6 Volumes back to original settings from Mute or Vibrate follwing a present time period.
I typically put my phone on silent / vibrate for meetings and then forget to turn the ringer back on. It would be way cool if I could put phone on mute for a set duration of time (e.g. meeting last one hour so in one hour and 5 minutes my phone would automatically restore the ringer to on status from vibrate / silent.
Anyone know of something like this already? I have searched and cannot find anything.
That's a good idea, I experienced this problem as well.
HTC Home has an automatic setting that will do that for busy times in your schedule and set it back when you're free.
When you have the meeting set on your calendar, selecting the "Automatic" mode automatically sets the phone to silent when you're "busy" and sets it back when you're "free"
Thanks for the input as I am an HTC user and just discovered this a few minutes ago. The issue with HTC Automatic is that some of my meetings I do want my phone to ring so a full up utilization of the HTC Auto ring setting is note the best solution at this time.
If HTC development could add another ring feature for customer ringer off this would be the BOMB! I am an HTC fan.

I haven't actually tried it, but I think if you set your meeting to "free" I think the phone will still ring.

I been using several different cooked WM6 rom for the past few months and the vibrate changes in WM6.
In WM5 the vibrate is like one long continually vibrate for about 6 seconds or so but whenever I Flash WM6 roms the vibrate will start pusling like 1 second then pause then 1 second and pause for about 6 second total.
I am not feeling the pulsing vibrate or keep missing it when it in my thick pants pocket or jacket and I been trying to find a setting or regedit to restore the vibrate back to one continually vibrate like it was in WM5.
I have search with no luck and does anyone know how to change the vibrate pulse and timing in WM6 or setting for the vibrate?
I know it WM6 rom because vibrate goes back to what is was when I go back to WM5.
Thank You
Bill
Have you tried going to phone>menu>options>phone and set the keypad setting to long tones and the ring type to vibrate and ring, this is how I have mine set up and it is one long vibrate.

Yeah I tried that and it works when phone rings but it the text message or emails or IM notifications etc that I wanted to have long vibrate like on the WM5 and it still pulse vibrate with the phone setting on long vibrate.
Sorry I should had added in my previous post that it was the notifications from txt or mms or emails or IM that I am trying to set long vibrate to but thanks for trying!
Thank you
Bill
does anyone know if there a binary in the registery that I can change the pulsing vibrate to one long vibrate in notification?
Thanks
Bill
Ok so I know my way around a phone or too so I think this should be obvious but please if you can help me out here. I recently purchased the HTC Surround which I am beyond happy about, fantastic phone. However this seems to be an OS question more than phone.
I haven't found a simple way to have the Silent mode on without going to settings and disabling the Vibrate function. With Vibrate turned on if you hold down the volume key until 0 it switches to vibrate and there is no way of getting to full Silent mode. Can anyone help me with this if I am just missing something obvious here.
Thank you in advance
i don't think there is a silent mode as of yet. also, when you hit volume, you don't have to bring it all the way to 0, you can merely tap the icon on the right and it will flick between ring and viberate. though the problem with doing this i've found is that when you go into a game, the game still utilises the sound which i found a bit strange.

It's a bit annoying, but you'll have to go into ringtones and sounds in the settings and turn vibrate OFF. Then, when you go down to 0 it will be silent. You'll have to change vibrate back to ON when you want it back.
is there a way to set text messages and emails to vibrate? i haven't seen this in the emulator.

if you set the phone's profile to viberate, it quiets all the OS' built in notifications and typing and that. it does not however quiet apps/games sounds. only way to do that is drop the volume itself.
what i mean is on the normal volume profile can i sent a ring tone for calls, and vibrate for texts and emails?
not at present. it's still very simple on/off stuff for most, hopefully MS really goes through each section of the OS and brings it to the level of what is expected in high end phones.
Not an answer to the ops question, but if you press the down volume button, you can then click the "ring" icon and it will cycle between ring and vibrate (I would have expected silent there too)

Hi Guys, i was just wondering if this has been done beofre, and if not why not?
I was wondering if your phone could read your caledar and adjust the phone's ringtone, ring volume level, key tones etc to suit.
scenario 1: your calendar says you are in a meeting at work, phone automatically goes onto silent and mutles all sounds.
Scenario 2: calendar says at work, phone goes onto vibrate or lowest audiable level of sound and disable key tones.
Scenario 3: calendar says nothing, phone goes onto loud ring with full keytones.
These could be setup for outdoor pursuits, dates, and maybe even a bed time setting.
When i owned a BB bold, you could place your phone into the dock and it would automatically turn off all sounds etc, could this be done based on just the time of the day.
Obviously not everyone uses their caeldar to log every part of their life in great detail, but it would even work for those who DO put things like meeting into their calendar, to save the embarrassment of having your phone go off mid-meeting.
Im sure that some of this could be done using tasker, but for those who find tasker a bit daunting, this could be ideal!
Thanks Guys
Hi everyone,
I've searched the web and cannot find an answer to this, so looking for help...
My X10 had a sound option, vibrate option and silence option. This worked for me because I set all my email to vibrate when the phone was on vibrate only, and at night I'd easily switch it silent so there would be no noise, period.
The Ion vibrate options are "always, only when silent, and never". I don't want the email to vibrate always, and if I silence the phone, it vibrates which causes the phone to go off at night when I get emails internationally. I don't want to set it to "never" because there are times when I'm in a meeting I just want to be alerted to an email without a notification sound.
Am I missing something here? Sorry about the basic question, but I cannot for the life of me figure this out!

Ah, found out it's a thing from 2.2 on. I downloaded some apps that work around the issue. Thanks!
So I've just received my HTC 10. Got it as a gift and it's an upgrade from my Galaxy S6. There is a lot to like, but I've found some very annoying things that I seem unable to solve. Like not being able to edit the Quick Settings and the reason for opening this thread: no way of turning off sound AND vibration while using a an Android Wear watch.
On my S6 I was able to simply turn down the volume until it went to vibrate and then press volume down again. That way the phone was entirely silent and only my watch would vibrate. Not so with the 10. It'll either vibrate or it goes to Do-Not-Disturb mode meaning my watch doesn't vibrate anymore either.
It's extremely annoying as I'm often in meetings with my phone on the table in silent mode. That way I get notifications on my wrist while the phone is silent. Now I'm forced to put everything to silent and miss calls and messages as a result. It totally defeats the purpose of having the watch for notifications.
As I got the phone from HTC I wanted to hold off from rooting it, but it looks like it's either that or going back to the S6. Am I doing something something wrong/not finding the right settings or did HTC just forget?
Thanks in advance for your reply!

Yeah, this is weird from HTC. On previous devices the silent setting would work exactly like the Galaxy S6 one. It's strange that in the 10 it goes straight to DND mode.
As a workaround, if you don't want to root, you can tweak DND Mode to allow every notification through and get it on the smartwatch as well. This is not ideal, especially if you want to use DND mode for what it's meant...

Unfortunately I also use DND often so this is not an ideal solution, but it'll have to do for now
HTC uses the same idea as Nexus device now, since HTC A9, which means the sound profile has only : normal, vibrate, and DND, no silent mode anymore; and the notification panel also followed Nexus, but don't worry, in Android N you can change quick settings in notification panel, just need to wait for 5 months.
Also, you can set up some apps, treat them as priority, so that they may go through. I don't use smart watch so I could be wrong. But this is just a problem about habit, once you get used to it, everything's fine.

The phone also vibrates on messages and emails. There are multiple work arounds, but none as quick as just turning down the volume and have your phone be silent. I don't want to dive into settings everytime I walk into a meeting.

you don't need to dive into the settings,
1: drag down the quick settings and tap on DND, only 2 steps;
2: press and hold volume down button, when switched to vibrates mode, tap on the bell icon, also only 2 steps.

I meant to do the settings where you change the priority mode settings each time you want the phone to be silent, but don't want DND on etc.
