I am looking for an app that will override volume, vibrate, and silence settings for a contact.
The contact is for my local 911 dispatch center. It can txt out our fire pages.
I want it to sound a dedicated notification tone regardless if the phone is on vibrate or silence.
Thanks!!
id love to know this as well.

Id love to know if there was on out there as well ... I had a hard enough time finding a good ringtone replacement (went with Ringo lite) that I gave up on looking for those specific features.

I believe you could also use Tasker to set your phone exactly as you want for this action. For example, I know I can set all my volumes to max when I am getting a call from my wife. Not that I would do that ...

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
Anyone have any sort of work around to enable independent control of the ringer and notification volume levels in ICS? Do any of the custom Roms have this ability?

No, they don't. Try this. Download Lightflow if you don't already have it, and try and set the notification tone for texting through that. I read somewhere the other day that the Lightflow notification will either override the global system volume or the other way around. I'm not exactly sure but download Lightflow and poke around in there.
It had something to do with setting the text volume in lightflow and the ringer volume with the global notifications.
Goodluck.
Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I have been using a profile application for a work around just like lightflow is doing, except with more functionaliTY. Basically I have been using Setting Profiles to set an incoming text messages or SMS message always to a profile with a particular ringtone, at a particular volume level. Same for phone calls. Then set exceptions to profiles for vibrate, silent, etc. That way at night I can tell my phone to go to silent but with an exception for phone calls. This is basically saying be quiet for notification sounds, but not for phone calls. There are other exceptions and possibilities but the end result is separate ringer and notification volumes. I can explain more if you are interested.
Does this work with other notifications like Google* or Twitter as wella sms?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Unfortunately I don't think so. But I also use LightFlow and I don't see where it lets you choose the volume level of the notification so it doesn't quite do the job either.
What I do is set my ringer volume to what I want it to be for notifications (any notification as controlled by the program the notification is coming from). Then I set rules for incoming calls and SMS (which is what SettingProfiles supports) to sound at a different ringer volume. That way I have effectively "separated" my volumes and still am able to have unique ringtones for the different applications that support it. Examples are:
1. Make a profile for Silent
2. Make a profile for Ringer set to max
3. Make rule in SettingProfiles for incoming calls to activate the Ringer profile
4. Put phone in Silent profile (ringer speaker completely muted so no ring or notifications)
5. Phone call comes in and Incoming call rule activates the Ringer profile for that call
The result is all notifications are silenced. I get an incoming call and it triggers the ring rule so my phone will still ring. Once the incoming call stops (either i answer it or it goes to vmail or whatever), it exits the Ringer rule and goes back to the state it was in before, which is my Silent profile.
The way I'm doing it, you don't need an application that handles notifications for each application. It's just changing your ringer volume based on different conditions. It only supports incoming call, unread SMS/MMS, schedule, time period, etc, though. But that's fine for me because I usually want all notifications to be whatever volume I've set my speaker to, except for phone calls and text messages, which under certain conditions, I always want to be allowed to sound, and sound loudly at maximum volume.
I use LightFlow to repeat notify for text messages and missed calls and change the notifications for various apps it supports, but all that is for is changing the LED, ringtone, repeat notify, etc. It doesn't do anything for the volume of any of those notifications, at least not specifically supported in the application anyway.
I use SettingProfiles to change the VOLUME of my speaker based on rules and priorities and use LightFlow to change the TYPE of notifications I receive in various applications.
If I receive emails or have calendar event come due while on a call, I get the notification sounds playing in my ear while I am trying to listen to my caller. I cannot find a way to disable these sounds while I can connected to a call. Am I just missing something or is this a limitation?
I don't think there is. It is super annoying. It happened to me last week on a very important business call. I got several notifications while on that call and couldn't hear some of what the person on the other end was saying, it was loud enough that I thought even maybe they heard it.
Yes! Thanks for bringing this up. I'd love to at least make them quieter! I've had friends who tend to send multiple messages; I keep getting multiple alerts during a single call. It's very distracting.
Settings - System - ringtones and sounds - just untick what you don't want and choose "none" to any email, voicemail, sound alert.

That will just turn those sounds off all the time. That's not what we want. We only want those sounds off or a lot lower while on a call.
During a call the notification sounds are extremely loud and very distracting.

I guess that is not an option given the weird missing features WP7. (ringtone customization, ability to change volumes separately, having the ability to quickly choose between ring + vibrate, vibrate only, do not vibrate nor ring at all)
Hi,
Is there a way where the S3 would vibrate for any incoming notifications (mails, texts, etc.) while I'm texting someone instead of the usual notification tone? I had an Iphone before and it does this. I'm hoping the S3 can have this feature or an app can make this happen. It is very annoying to be in the middle of a text and hear the notification tones several times.
Thanks

I don't think we have a future where phone recognizes when you text and just vibrates. I think that you can only set it to vibrate only or vibrate & sound. I don't know about the app. It doesn't bother me so I haven't searched for it.

There is an "Alert on Call" option in the call setting. This is same as what I'm asking except I want it in the text setting.
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).
