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
Hi all,
This is my first post here. Been mostly at ppcgeeks.
I and others have been having a problem with my HTC Touch on Sprint ever since upgrading to a cooked WM6.1 ROM. I have tried to custom ROMs and both have the same issue. So I'm thinking that it's a 6.1 thing. It could also be that I'm not using the radio really made for my device. So I'm hoping someone here can help us.
The issue is that whenever I hang up a call using my BT headset (Jabra 5010 with the sliding arm but it happens with other models too), the ringer profile automatically switches between settings. Meaning, if I start on vibrate for example, after the first call is switches to Ring, after the second, it switches to no sound and so on. Very annoying. It is not set to Automatic. I do not have the profiles or the calender on the today screen (some people suggested that as a possible answer).
So if any of you know how to fix it or if oyu are having the same issue, please reply.
Thanks and it's nice to be a member.

hey has anybody got the sound for the rigtones working yet
is there a fix ? patch ? etc....
thanks
search the threads and you will find your answers there.
seriously?
if you want info on whether or not the ringtone/external speaker issue has been solved, check the dev threads. If there is a breakthrough they will all have updated it already since its a problem plaguing all rhodium devices.

Come on, man this was his first post, I understand that it's frustrating when someone posts without having read the stickies, but it's posts like that, which are so decidedly unhelpful.
For example, this is a good response, it berates him for not having read but it also contains USEFUL information:

Ring tones are working
Ring tones are fixed in the latest build as of 08/30/2010, i.e. sound is working in general.
In my case to actually get the handset to ring on incoming calls, I had to conduct the following steps (before that only the silent option was available as a "ring tone"):
go to settings -> Dev tools -> media scanning. Perform media scan. After that the OS restarted and the phone started ringing. Yeah...
cheers
BTW, I just noticed that the media scanning has to be conducted each time one the handset is turned on, otherwise the phone is not ringing.
Can anybody confirm that?
In addition I am not able change the ring tones in settings -> sound -> incoming calls. Why is that and can this be changed?
Has anyone found that if they use their own ringtone, an incoming call only rings once? I've tried converting my ringtones from .mp3 to .ogg but it still only rings once. If I switch to a stock ringer, the an incoming call rings over and over like it should.
ringtones
my tounch pro2 with the latest blazin build will use any mp3 i chose to use as a default ringtone and will ring more than once and play the full song. But on the other hand my other cell has all the same setup but only shows silent only, so it could be just the headset itself and not the build.

It's the card. Format it with the HP tool. Full format. Also, BLAZN is pretty outdated (9.28 was the last update).
I have searched for the answer but can only find general profile info which is not what i want...
Last phone was a nokia, and you could set up on certain profiles that certain groups of people could come through and ring normally when the phone was on silent. This was ace for me as i would leave it on for wife and family etc.. (emergencies) but every other person the phone would be silent and not wake me up!
For the love i cannot find a way of doing this with the desire - it seems either all silent or all on!
Can anyone help me with this please or is it not possible yet??
Cheers all
Google for "Call Filter, Call Block, Call Blocker, Block Calls, Filter Calls", there are quite a few apps out there that do it.
Try looking for "FoxyRing" on the market. Does exactly what you want and loads more!
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.

I have attached my prj.xml I have literally never shared a Tasker project so I hope this is sufficient! If you have any questions, let me know!

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.

Yes it does and it's great! I figured out how to test it by calling my cell phone from Google Voice/Hangouts on my PC.

Ring Volume not loud enough

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).
