[Q] Motion Turn Over to mute - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

The turn over to mute... does this work when the phone is facing down?
[mutes automatically all incoming calls] or do I have to physically flip it over?
I thought just by putting it face down it will mute everything incoming.

I could be wrong as ive never used this feature but i was under the impression its meant for you to be able to mute the ringer once someone calls. If you dont want it to ring at all just turn down the volume all the way or use the toggle in the notification window.

[Q] vibrate for phone only?

I'd like to vibrate on phone calls only and not sms, other basic Samsung notifications. Is there an app, workaround to make this possible? The default settings don't offer this option. Stock sms app preferred, not gosmspro.
Thanks!

Vibrate when call connects

Is there a way to get the phone to vibrate when dialed number connects.
Right now it plays a tune, so it knows its connected, however can that be tied to vibrate as well?
My old phone did this, and its great to not have to hold the phone to your ear if the connection takes a long time to get through.
if you flash the cm7 Rom it has that option. i dont think any of the others do though.
I use Go Contacts, which comes with Go Dialer , and it has that option ...
Stock dialer does this, settings, call, call alert, answer vibration

If you have root then search "vibralert" in the market.
Top app with lots of options.

Help with a bad ass sgs3 feature

After seeing the sgs3 Verizon commercials showing off voice command in some apps, I figured I'd try it on my sprint sgs3 and it works flawlessly....for the most part...when I receive a call, I keep saying "answer" or "reject" to the point where I'm yelling at the phone, and still no response. The other voice commands work fine, but I want the phone voice command functions to work. For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, go to settings--language and keyboard---voice cmd. Attached is a screenshot of my settings within that menu

And I know the picture shows otherwise, but my settings are in fact turned on! Just thought I'd clear that up
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
I did the same thing. but figured it out. Go to language and input and press on voice cmd and check the incoming calls box.
Edit
Oops never mind.. try restarting your phone
Does my screen need to be unlocked when I get a call to use this feature? My screen is looked and whenever I get a call, with commands to accept or reject the call don't work...kinda mad I wanna be cool and show it off to people lol

You need to turn off vibrate for incoming calls for answer/reject voice commands to work.
Was driving me crazy trying to figure this out until someone mentioned it on another thread. But I'm surprised Samsung doesn't have proper instructions explaining this. Anyways...

Thanks man, I'll disable the vibration. Don't even know why vibration matters.
Also how do I disable it? Do I uncheck sound and vibration or do I turn the vibration intensity for phone calls all the way down?

Yes. Just uncheck sound and vibration. The 'vibration off' matters because it gets in the way of hearing your voice. Makes perfect sense. And no, the vibration doesn't need to be turned off for the snooze command.

So even if I leave vibration intensity for phone calls all the way up, unchecking sound and vibration will make my voice command work? Just wanna clear it up. And thanks for your help too, I appreciate it

Yeah, you can have your vibration intensity all the way up, just as long as its not active for incoming calls, by unchecking sound and vibration. This is only needed if you want to use the voice cmd to verbally answer and reject incoming calls. All other voice commands are independent of the vibration settings.

The vibration matters because people will half their phone on a flat surface half the time and it will make a loud buzz sound which will disrupt it from picking up your voice saying reject or answer.

Notification

My phone is put next to my bed. It is very annoying to have the notifications while sleeping. Is there any way to make it silent automatically while sleeping?
y not turn on the blocking mode from settings before sleeping?

Can you provide more detail of Tasker App to accomplish this task. Thanks!
Set the ringer to silent or turn on airplane mode. If you're feeling inventive you could buy some NFC tags to change the settings automatically.

Blocking Mode:
Menu> Settings> Blocking Mode> Turn it On, and select what and when you'd like it to be silent. Also can allow certain Contacts to have an Always permission.

Or you could just long press the blocking mode toggle in the notifixation bar. It takes you straight there

What is everybody talking about? Why blocking mode? How about just turn down the notification sound? If you expand volume bars, notification volume ha its own.... useless thread really

Lol I thought the same thing but figured it was too obvious and assumed that maybe it was the notification light that might be waking him up haha
if is it Facebook notifications or mail notifications just go to each app setting and turn the tone to silent or just open the notification bar and press twice on the volume button to turn it silent with no vibration and your alarm will still working

Hi wekebu & kylec,
That is what I need. I am testing it to see if it meets my requirements completely. As Samsung's slogan, it designs for humans!

You need to do it - turns on during the day and turns it down at night everyday.
I use NFC to turn off all lights, vibration and everything. I sleep like a baby hehe. I wake up, NFC again and I'm back in business!

This is automatic; isn't that the beauty of most apps and functions? Every day between the hours of xx & xx Blocking Mode will perform an automatic funtion.
I'm sure you do things that others consider 'useless'. That was an insulting statement.

Quick silence SMS/call notification...

Are there any apps/mods that allow you to silence/mute an incoming notification tone like on the iphone?
For example you are in a meeting and get a text which sets off your text tone instead of reaching into your pocket, removing phone, unlocking it, and stopping tone you just reach in and hit the power button or volume rocker and stop the tone.
Didn't realize how much I did this on my old phone until I couldn't do it on my N2!

Why not just put on vibrate when in meeting?
It is in the toggles very easy to access
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda premium
Because I don't want to have to keep toggling my phone settings on and off all day long when all I have to do is just reach in my pocket for brief second and shut it off at that particular moment.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
It takes more than a "brief second" to reach in your pocket, look for the toggle switch on the iPhone and move it... And even then, you may have not toggled the switch in the right direction, thus leaving the ringer on by accident. Trust me, I've done this with all the iPhones I've had. It doesn't matter if the back side has a bulge or is aluminum to help you orient your hand coordination. Your mind would be too focused on not getting unwanted attention while you silence your phone.
The trick for the Note II (at least for stock rom) is hold the power button two seconds, then hold the down volume rocker down until it vibrates, which only takes another second. And viola, it's on vibrate mode.
Im pretty sure if you hit the volume rocker while a call is incoming it will silence.
Correct me if im wrong

You're correct, but I think he wants to toggle it to go on vibrate so if the person happens to try calling a second time, it doesn't ring again.
