if the phone is on silent, is there a way to make certain contacts ring? So meaning bypassing the silent mode?
This is one odd request, why would you want this function?
create profile using apps in playstore. u remember nokia??

What ascariz said.. or maybe try to set the notification sound to a silent one or something close.. you can probably download a tone that is blank .. then just assign a different tone to a contact. .. maybe
Good luck

sorry for the late reply..
my thoughts are around if i am in a meeting i have my phone on silent but set a ringtone for someone important, e.g. mum/dad and the phone will ring.
ill check out some of the apps on playstore.
You can with tasker. I just created a profile for night that silents the phone but allows anyone on my favorites list to by pass it with a phone call. One of android 's more pricey apps but well worth it in my opinion. Examples on how to do it can be found on tasker's wiki.

Search "selective silence" in play store. Been using it forever and it works great. Just add the numbers you want to ring when your phone is in silent mode. Very small and free app. By ChainsDD I think.
Hope that helps

There's an app called Tasker, I've set it up to go off silent with a certain text

Can anyone helps set up custom alerts for different notifications. I get 3 different types of pages to my phone and I want a different alert for each. I would also like a different for 2 different email accounts. I was able to do this with my old tp2. Please help.

Good question. I am interested in this as well. Coming from a lowly Blackberry 8350i on Nextel, I had this feature of multiple notification sounds for different messages!
You can set up separate alerts by going into the settings of each individual app. In messaging hit Menu>Settings scroll down and see option for notification sound. Same for Gmail.

Thanx. But how do I set up different alerts for text messages from different people. I get pages from work from different systems and I would like different alerts.

There's an awesome app in the Market from a dev here on XDA called WhoIsIt that can do this. The best way to describe it is like a notification app on steroids for OCD people, and I mean that in a good way!

Hi
Does anyone know of an app that I can configure so it auto puts my phone on complete silence say 8 in morning till 5 at night, this will save me doing it manually as I might forget and get in trouble in work
Cheers
Tasker will do this job.

Or you can make an alarm just to remind you to silence your phone before getting to work

use free quick profiles to setup a silent profile, i think the pro version may do it automatically

Does anyone know how to change the way the calls are accepted/declined? I do not like at all the way you have to put accept/decline in the ring. I am using a stock device. Called HTC about another issue and mentioned this before hanging up and they said no. If I can't change the settings for that maybe a 3rd party application if it's available.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
If it helps at all, you can answer a call by pulling the bottom large ring up to anywhere on the screen and just use the little icons for decline call.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip. I do like that better than what I do now.

When notifications sound plays, it totally cut the playing music too play itself. Is there a way to change that?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Outside of completely muting the notifications, I don't think there is.

But i heard this was fixed in ICS..? That the music wouldn't stop totally.. Does it depend player?

..?
Not that I know of. Personally I think this is a useful feature, but if you really want to change it, you could look into custom roms that don't have this feature, but that might be a bit too much work for such a small hiccup. Or choose none for the notification sound, but then you wont be notified EVER really... so sorry bout that
Normally the music should lower so you hear the notification then music volume come back. It's like fade. That is how it is normally.

Is there any way to customize the vibrate patterns on LGOG? I checked in settings but I don't think I see such options.
I just hate the default long vibration.
Settings, sound, vibrate type.

Wow, so this mean that the Sprint version of LGOG has this option but the ATT one doesn't? That sucks..
I never would have guessed software would be different between the two. Oh well I still love my new phone

I use the "SMS Popup" app which allows you to do custom vibrations for receiving texts. You can specify the milliseconds for vibration on/off. Mine is "0,200,100,200,100,200,100,200" for 4 quick vibrations.

Yep. It just replaces the default SMS notifications.

Kind of reviving an old thread here, but I've only had my phone a couple weeks...
I wanted mine to vibrate longer so I tried SMS popup after reading this thread. The vibe pattern stuff worked ok but I found a few downsides (didn't seem to be able to activate the notification LED, seemed to deactivate the lock screen sms icon 'new messages' indicator) and our phones' built-in sms popups seemed a little more useful (but uglier) to me, so I stopped using it.
Today I stumbled on "AutomateIt" which can trigger events on incoming SMS, and one of the actions is vibrate of a custom length (not patterns). That seems to work pretty well for me and I can probably make use of some of its other features as well.
