I'd like to have the ringer or sound enable for just one specific contact cause if I am asleep or not near my phone I want to make sure this contact can still reach me. Is there any way this can be done?

Can anyone please advise on setting my Himalaya as a pager(through SMS)??? Can't seem to find any posts on this specific topic. Thanks in advance for the help
Interesting.. how do you suppose to do that? Disable your ability to receive phone call? But still able to receive SMS?
Hmmm.. interesting.. maybe you can do
(1) Make your ring tone silent (e.g. use a silent WAV as ring tone) but put a loud and long WAV for your SMS.
(2) Use the divert call feature, Setting -> Phone -> Services -> Call forwarding. Check "Forward all incoming phone call to", and put in a fake number. So, when anyone tries to call you, they will be diverted into the fake number. (e.g. for girls whom are getting irritating calls, you can use this method). However, you still have your SMS working.
Another option (not every phone has this, but WM5 seems to have) would be Setting -> Phone -> Services -> Call Barring -> Block Incoming calls.
Better test your thing before really using it (e.g. try SMS it). Haven't try these technique yet.
Anyway, pity that this phone is being used as a pager though. It is like buying a refrigerator use it as a cupboard.
pager
I probably phrased my question poorly. I wanted to be able to receive a page as an SMS message . I meant to do that in addition to the phone/email connections. Didn't mean to suggest to disable the phone at all. Thanks
You'll be needing an app on this page http://sharewareconnection.com/titles/alpha-paging.htm
SNPP protocol is available on the GSM band naturally, but you will need special session/application software for compiling data for use on the protocol.
I doubt you can do that. Firstly, you will need a station/provider to have a paging service, so you will have a page station for people to call to, you also need them (provider) to send you the signal. And, I'm pretty sure that you can't just accept any pager signal easily with a standard consumer devices and some cool software (esp that you still want the phone feature) as there are security features built into the page signal for better data transfer efficiency and privacy.
I think you will be carryign a pager for a while
i found this at one point but i cant find it anymore. has there been a reg edit or a cab to press a button and stop the ringtone from ringing. please dont tell me to make shorter ringtones i am aware of this but sometimes theres no good place to cut a ringers and ir woul just end too abruptly. so if someone can let me know please greatly appreciated. i have a mogul but the telus version
This might have been the thread you thought you saw.

I don't think this does what you want though. Doesn't it stop when you press ignore? I can't think of it right now. Maybe you just want any button to do this, but then you couldn't answer. Maybe explain this one more.
I think hes talking about the same issue im having with my phone. Actually I have two different issues that are somewhat related...First, i think he's talking about the text message ringer. For example...if i set a ringtone to my text messages(songs that is) and i recieve a text message, there is now way to shut the ringer off...it just keeps playing and playing and vibrating and vibrating....the only thing that will make it stop is a power down or soft reset.....whats even weirder is if i recieve a text message while the first message is ringing it plays the ringtone a second time in the background...so not only can i not stop the first one but there a second one that i cant stop either...PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!....now for the second issue....i downloaded mring for my phone and it allows me to stop the problematic ringer from before by pressin any button on my phone (GREAT!!!!!!!!) no, not great...when i set my text messages to ring and vibrate it rings, but no vibration occurs...and if i have it on vibrate only...it doesnt vibrate either....at first i thought it was problem with my phone, but the vibration on telephone calls works fine...it's only text messages...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!!!!!! if anyone can fix the problem im having with mring that would be great cuz i want to continue using that program seeing as how i purchased the product and now that im having that problem its basically useless...
First, WITHOUT USING ANY 3RD PARTY APPS
If someone calls from a blocked/restricted number, is there any function in the Titan that would allow me to set it to not ring (or to only vibrate, or have a special ringer for only restricted calls)? I tried making a contact called restricted, but that didnt work.
Second, if the above is not possible, what are some 3rd party apps that I might try? I never pick up blocked calls, and I dont even want to hear it ring.
It's not exactly a 3rd party application, more like a service; check out www.youmail.com . If somebody with a blocked number calls me, it says "the number you are calling does not take calss from unidentified callers, please hang up and reveal your number."

Ummm.... There has to be a million. Ok not that many but seriously There are even some that are developed on XDA! I could find that one though ;c(
Here is one that is pretty popular. Im sure others will chime in with there favorites too.

I could swear I had done this in the past.... But I cant figure it out now.
You can try Ringo... it might do the trick...

If you dont want to hear it ring... I recommend SPB Phone Suite...
It has a blacklist feature to ignore calls.. ignore and never ring.
Also it has a great today plugin for showing your vmail, unread messages.. etc (I recommend turning off the big buttons though.. the default look is ugly IMHO)
And my favorite feature, you can set the phone to vibrate, or silent for a period of time (5 mins, 15mins, 30 mins.. etc) This is a life saver since I often need to silence my phone for meetings, and then a few hours later I realize... I have 20 missed calls because I never set it back.
### Edit ###
I just set SPB Phone suite to blacklist "Private" calls.
I then blocked caller ID and called from my home phone... Nothing.. no ring, no flash, the phone ignored it.
It did ring on the callers end the normal number of rings before going to vmail... I.E. it didn't go right to vmail like when you hit ignore.
Superb. SPB Phone Suite does exactly what I want with regards to calls from blocked numbers.
Thanks!

This site is very slick. Thank you for sharing it.
To test ignoring calls I added my desk phone number to the block list. I called it up, my phone woke up, but never rang and didn't give a notice of a missed call. My desk phone was greeted with the message I left it on youmail.com which happened to be the default smart greeting. Very very cool to have this feature without installing a thing on my phone.
Hello, I have a question here,
Got marshmallow running on my HTC One m8.
There is no silent mode anymore as in no sound and no vibration. What's there now is the do not disturb feature which basically does the same. But Accidentally I had it set to accept calls only from contacts.
What I can not find out now is, does this actually and actively block and deny any calls of unknown numbers without logging them or showing in any way that this person tried to call me, or does it just not show full screen call notification when I receive a call of unknown numbers?
Hope someone can shed a light on this.

Hi! Google replaced Do Not Disturb feature with Silent in Lollipop 5.0 and it was reported that they will bring Silent back at a later stage. Anyways, the Do Not Disturb feature in Android phones does not decline calls automatically like iPhone's Do Not Disturb, it only silents your phone and if you have selected 'Contacts Only' then it will only ring if someone from your contacts call you otherwise it will remain silent and notify you of the call or text (or whatever) and your screen will turn on while a call is being received.
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU!
Okay thanks! Was worried I'll miss calls or something.
I tried it out in the meantime, asked a friend whose number I don't have to call me. I didn't ring loud regardless whether I set accept all calls, or contacts only. It rung silently but the call came through in both cases.
i get two separate ringers when I have an incoming call the one that is set by the system and another that is just a chirping ring. I don't understand where this chirping ring is coming from or how to disable it. Here are some log files that I have been scouring to try to find what sets off the secondary ringer even if Do Not Disturb or total silence is enabled. The chirping ring will stay active through the entire call until you end it. i am using CM13 for the boost mobile samsung j3, sm-j320p.
this is the link to the rom.
