Coming from a Blackberry, I used to use "Phone Only Mode" (Phone only goes off, if and when, it is a phone call) Is there any app or widget that can accomplish this? At night E-mail notifications and Facebook constantly wake me up. I would put it on silent, but I don't want to miss any important calls. Thanks in advance for any help on this matter,
Russ
Look for any apps that set up profiles by time. That should help u. Like from so and so time till the morning shut everything down but ringtone

Thanks I'll look into it.
I use AudioManager to quickly turn down the notifications and/or ring tones all from a single slider screen, but there are several similar apps that will allow you to set up sound profiles and quickly change via location (Locale) or via a widget.

Just disable the auto sync of data. then only the phone works,,,
I've been using bedside for 2 years and it rocks. You can setup white lists for texts, calls or whatever.
I love Tasker. It does cost a small bit but the customizable profiles are awesome. If you just want something for use at night, bedside may be good enough, but definitely look into Tasker if you want to automate anything else (for example,I have it set to start the GPS when I launch Google maps and to shut it off when I exit.

Quick question here -
On the OG Evo my favorite mod was the WiMax notification mod that enabled the green WiMax light to stay lit when I received a text message.
I know the Evo 4G LTE doesn't have this light. Is it possible to have the blinking notification changed to a constant on? That way it's harder to miss when I get a new text message.
How hard would it be for a developer to make this happen?
Thanks in advance!
And to go along with this could we get a mod so that the notification light doesn't time out after 5 minutes if it hasn't been checked? Kind of a useless light unless you look at your phone every 5 minutes. It is one of the main reasons I switched to Cyanogenmod on my EVO Shift.
The constant on mod would be nice. I wouldn't have to stare as long wondering if it is in fact blinking.
I use Handcent and while it's a little bloated it does allow you to set the charging light to flash when a text is received and also the frequency and color of the flash. It might be an option for you until someone creates a mod.

Wait, the notification light times out after 5 minutes? Seriously? I thought maybe I was just seeing (or not seeing) things. That's irritating.

I also had that app in my Evo. It was from a developer in xda but when I tried to install it, it said was not supported. Wish the developer would redo for us.

I use hand cent also. Can you please point us to where you would adjust the color of the flash? All I see is a setting for blink led. But no color setting.

I actually really like the stock one that is included in this build. I've had sketchy results with third-party apps in the past and don't really need the extra bloat typically.
Appreciate the suggestion though, that's more along the lines of what I'm interested in. A constant-on notification light would be perfect.

Menu/Settings/Notification Settings/Notification Settings (again)/Check the "LED Plus" box. You should then see a dropdown for LED color (Green or Amber) and another for LED Frequency. Not sure if you have to be rooted to select LED Plus.
I used the wimax notifier on the 4g, but it would be great if a ROM developer could include some tweaks for this!
I use this and it is godly light flow
It takes a while to figure everything out but once you do it's amazing

I'm on 4.2.5 and it's been there through multiple updates. It's possible it wasn't included for the LTE I guess, I'm still using the OG EVO (for now). Maybe someone else can verify. It would be hard to believe they would remove it for certain phones but who knows.

I tried this on my LTE, and it only worked in Direct mode, which gave me very few options. How did you get it to work?

I also tried this and although it works if my phone is silent the light turns off after a couple seconds if my sound is turned on. Also, the light doesn't flash it remains constant which I don't mind at all. However, I need to hear my phone sometimes so until that gets cleared up this isn't an option for me.
Ok for handcent there are a couple things but it does work even on our EVO LTE.
First I don't think the option is called LED Plus any more. To get to those options open up one of your text messages like you are reading it and at the top right side there is a little gear settings button. Click that and select Notification Settings. When you scroll down you will see three settings under the heading "LED Settings"; Blink LED, Color of LED and LED flash frequency. Those settings would have solved our problem. The problem is they are grayed out on our new phones. Bummer. I guess it means handcent isn't fully compatible with Sense 4 yet.
We can get around that though!
Now back out of your messages so that you are at the main screen of handcent where you can see all the contacts who have messaged you. Now press menu> settings>notification settings>notification settings. In here you will see a set of options called reminders. Turn on reminders and make sure the frequency is set for 5 minutes. 5 minutes is when Sense will usually time out a notification. Also, make sure to set the number of reminders to keep repeating so that every 5 minutes you get a new reminder. These reminders seem to restart the notification to your phone. You will get another notification sound/vibration or however you have yours set up and the led light will continue to flash like you just received the message. I don't think there is a way to not have the sound/vibration go off again unless your phone is on silent. Doesn't bother me since if I haven't checked the notification by then that means I still need to be notified.
Another cool thing about handcent is if you like the way the stock messaging app pops up your text on the lock screen handcent can do that too. It's in the options to popup on lockscreen and you also have to check the option for popup on lockscreen fix for some phone on Android 2.2+. You can even check an option somewhere in there so that the popup only shows up on the lockscreen and not when you are using the phone.
With these options I can make handcent function identical to the stock messaging app but have my notification led remain on forever until I clear it. I also turned off notifications for my stock messaging app and under display settings in my phone turned off led notification for sms/mms so handcent is controlling them.
Unfortunately this does nothing for emails, phone calls, etc but really texts are the one thing I need to know about since it is the primary way my wife communicates with me during the day.
I have also tried Light Flow but it doesn't seem to work at all. My notifications still turn off after 5 minutes even in direct mode.

interesting. a few things that i've noticed others having: cant turn off the power saver notification option in settings/apps/power. some are having wifi connectivity issues (possible fix: uncheck DLNA from settings/wifi/advanced). some are having graphic issues with the stock keyboard (possible fixes: 3+ power cycles, rotate from portrait-landscape-portrait, change keyboard type then change it back)
The screen won't come back on (without me hitting power) when pulling the phone away from my face while on a call.

So the MMS apk in the 1.22 version of ICS did the toggle where if I send a picture while connected to WiFi, the 3g data will kick on briefly while still connected to WiFi, send the pic, then toggle 3g back off. In the 2.13 version and this new 3.15 version, it doesn't do that. Like, ill be connected to WiFi and try sending a pic and the 3g data will not toggle on in the background. I have to manual turn WiFi off, wait for data to toggle on, send the pic, then turn WiFi back on and that's a long annoying process.

SENT FROM MY LTEVO
[ANNOYANCE] Missing speech to text (microphone) on keyboards (i know this was probably an intentional design change, but i hate it, why would you remove functionality that worked perfectly, yes i know you can do it via the Now app, but having to jump out of messaging/conversation to go to another app to quickly respond with voice is ridiculous) did anyone else notice it's still in the dialer app for searching contacts though?
[ANNOYANCE] No scrolling wallpaper option (not a big deal because it really doesn't buy you anything. but other launchers give you the option to lock it or wrap it)
[BUG] Proximity sensor wile making calls; when dialing with phone away from face the screen instantly goes dark, won't come back on until power button press.
[BUG] Light sensor; capacitive buttons don't light like they should. If light is dim enough that i can't see them yet bright enough that the phone disagrees i have to cover the sensor with my thumb to trick it into lighting them.
[BUG] Graphical glitches; probably a unique thing, but my battery widget has a button to view desktop (wallpaper) unobstructed, when returning from that the screen now goes wonky/staticky for a second, quite likely the widget though
[BUG] Graphical glitches; in maps i found that zooming in and out on the satellite view caused a bunch of annoying flickers. maybe a localized thing, i wiped cache and dalvik from recovery and that seems to have corrected for now.
[ANNOYANCE] Bookmarks widget can no longer be resized. This is obviously an HTC/Sense thing but it seriously changed the size of the widget on one of my screens and was letting it lay overtop of other widgets and app icons. There's the "Internet" widget that's a smaller size but it seems to never take a break. I use Firefox exclusively for my browser but in my power stats "Internet" was far and away the biggest battery hog on my phone. I must constantly be updating the screenshots of the pages it lists.
Also, the HTC sense input keyboard is all wacky! Doesn't work!

That used to happen to me...now it works. I really don't know what was going on with that...
One bug I'm seeing and idk if it's been mentioned
If you calibrate the keyboard and then use it, there will be some tearing and the keyboard will just look messed up overall
Also, the lockscreen doesn't have it's on set keyboard. So if you set a pin with the default HTC Sense keyboard you're pin lockscreen will use that number keyboard. But if you use SwiftKey, you get that number keyboard.
I don't think I remember ICS being like this
Just updated to ICS and am wondering about the Power Efficiency setting in the drop-down menu. What does it do? Every time I toggle it on, leave the drop-down, and then come back, it toggles itself back off. I'm sure I am missing something obvious. Thanks in advance.

I emailed HTC about this. This was their response: "In regards to this, I'm going to get the power efficiency option reported. In the meanwhile, you can manually turn off the 4g and autosync options, which is what that function accomplishes."
Hope this helps.

Be careful what you wish for. This may be related to HTC's "smartsync," which will prevent you from receiving emails or data messages (e.g. Google Talk) messages at night. Google "smartsync disabler" for lots of info.

I'm actually having the same problem in reverse. Ever since Verizon (or HTC?) updated their OS 10 days ago, I can't get the power efficiency function to stay *off*. I toggle it off, leave the settings, and return to find it toggled back on.
This means I can't get G4 speed, either, so it's quite annoying. Anyone else having this problem with their HTC Thunderbolt now?
My Verizon S4 is set to vibration mode (sound turned down/off)
In the options for gmail, facebook, and hangouts I have notifications turned on, but the vibration is off (unticked), BUT I still get vibrations when an incoming email, message, or notification comes along.
Anyone know how to override this issue? Are there external apps that can fix it? I only want my phone to vibrate when I get phone calls or text messages.
I have searched and found nothing.
Does no one else have this problem? It's driving me nuts!
I have the issue but mine only affects my enhanced Email app running Yahoo. Going to try uninstalling that and just use default email app, see if that helps.
Anybody find a solution to this yet????

because you have it in vibration mode. all notifications are vibrate when in vibration mode, even when you have vibration turned off in the apps.

This is not a bug but an annoying change Google made as of Android 4.2. Basically anything with a notification is supposed to vibrate when the phone is in vibrate mode regardless of the app setting although the app needs to support it. There is no fix but CM10.1 has the ability to revert this behavior.

Sorry for digging up this Thread, but this is not acceptable for me.
My S3 is always on Silent/Vibrate - Mode. In this case, Hangouts isn't usable for me. I have to disable all hangouts notificitaions, or my phone would vibrate almost all of the time.
So, is there any workaround available, so far?
I've allready tried to revoke permissions for vibration from hangouts and G+ via "App Settings" (Xposed module), but that didn't work. :/
Any solution would be great. Otherwise I have to go back to 4.1.2.
Best regards,
Marcus

You can try to manually turn off the vibration in the sound settings. settings<my device<sounds<vibration intensity
Change the slider of anyone of them that needs to be changed (from what I can tell you just want the notification vibration to be turned off so slide that one all the way to the left).
Let me know how this go.
Thx for your reply. But this will turn off Vibration for all notifications, won't it? I just want to turn it off for Hangouts because I receive lots of messages there and it's pretty annoying to have a phone on your pocket, that is vibrating all the time. I also have an app, that comes along with the OmegaROM, called "Notifications Mangaer" But changes there doesn't take effect. :/

That is the only way I know, other than the notifications manager. I know what you means too, I also hate the annoying vibration all the time and it waste battery life. I got tired of looking for a way around it and just turned off the notification vibration.
Sad to hear... But I won't surrender. This is not acceptable for me. There must be a way to disable vibration on Hangouts even if enabled in system settings. I'll hang on it and let you know as soon as I found a solution . Thx, so far.

Thats not bad as an temporarily soliution. It hits me on an idea:
Lets perfection this and create a 1s long, silent track and set it as ringtone. That should work as well.
But even this cant be the final solution. There must be a way to prevent hangouts from vibrating, although global settings force vibration. It worked in the past as well, so why not on above 4.1.2 versions?
Same problem with S5 Mini
I got the same problem on m S5 Mini - it's driving me crazy! Why should I want apps to vibrate in vibration mode, when i don't want the to vibrate in general - when I turn off vibration in the app settings?!
I wake up every night because of notifications from facebook or emails..
I just want whatsapp and phone calls to vibrate!
I came from HTC devices (Desire, Sensation, Sensation XE) and never had this problem before.
It's also annoying that I can't change the notifications volume together with the ringtone volume, but have to seperately adjust the slider
Any solutions without root would be great
