I would like to use "silence" mode at night, but still have my alarmclock enabled, how would one do this?
If i put the tytn to silent it also silence the alarm, and if I have some sounds I will get the phone signal at night which I don't want to.
This functionallity exists on EVERY other "normal" phone (nokia, ericsson and so on) but not here? why?
I use pocketx photo contacts program, you can set incoming alerts using the call filter feature to silent, but keeps the system volume on.
Try using Pocket Wakeup. It has a volumn control function which, if you set your phone to silent, it will over write it to make it loud. I'm not sure about vibrate, but I'm pretty sure if you were to set the volumn to minimum, the pocket wakeup can push it to whatever you set.
I use a freeware program called Mortplayer which is primarily an audio player but has a great alarm clock function built in too.
You can set the alarm to either play a playlist or a particular file, you can set increasing alarm and you can set the volume to override the system volume too so it doesn't matter if your phone is on silent (although it will leave the volume high after the alarm has increased it). It has a snooze function (set at any interval you want, 5mins, 10mins etc...) too with a very usable skin for switching the alarm off or on to snooze (ie. large screen buttons which you can tap with your fingers in a semi-conscious state)
Really great little program which I have been using for months with no problem and best of all, it is free
Great!! That seems to do it !

One potential way to do this is:
Change just the right slider on volume to lowest at night. keep the other one on high.
Then go to sounds and notifications and disable text and email notification sounds.
Try using Call Filter Alarm. I think you will love the sleep mode...
Hello,
Playing around with the standard alarm clock on my PPC has led me to run late for several important meetings. From what I think what has happened is that i have set the alarm clock and it has not gone off. For some strange reason it doesnt go off when you want it but goes off when your in the middle of a phone call after the set time ! As an example, if i get a call 3 hours later, thats when it goes off.
Anyway, trying to turn the alarm off in the middle of a phone call is another nightmare. I have to put up with it until i soft reset the device.
So....out it goes !
In their wisdom, does anyone have any alternatives to the standard alarm clock ? I don't really want it to do anything fancy. Just go off when it is supposed to, have some better alarm tones, and maybe have a snooze feature for those times i want to get another 5 minutes sleep lol.
try using spb time... you can also use an mp3 as alarm tone
try the MortPlayer...

Hi Guys,
i'm in need of a program wich does the following on recieving a sms with a specified text:
- turn display on, fullscreen flashing red/white
- override all sound settings and play an alarm sound with maximum volume
- stops on pressing buttons or touching the screen
- then opens the message
is there anywhere an application that can do that already? i need it because we got an sms-alarm system at our fire brigade and its really annoying when you have your phone on silent and miss the alarm.

So, simple enough to install this and get it to, say, open a flash file which just plays a loud sound and flashes the screen. You could also make the flash file *be* one big button, so when the screen was pressed the app would close.
You'd just need to knock up a simple flash file yourself.
As for the volume, I'm sure there are plenty of free apps that run from commandline to say, set the volume to max. This could be ran first.
Any good?
I just got an att pure and when i set the alarm it does not work. it works if the phone display is on but not when the screen is off. Any one have this problem. Also is there anyway to activate the screen other than the power button? I do not want to destroy my power button.
Hi,
if you are looking for a real alarm clock, I suggest to consider third party software such as Klaxxon Alarm or GAlarm. Actually looks to me that WM "alarms" are only reminders..can't wake up in the morning with it
About power button: Don't worry to use it, it's its job..but if you really want to save its life, here's a .cab to switch your device on with any button you like :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555821
maybe it's "wake up SMS" issue.
(That Device wakes up at incoming email)
I have that activated and alarm would work as alarm clock (if I would use it)
I'm using cradle alarm since mp3 is not supported wicht win alarm
This application is no longer being developed or supported. The source code is available on CodePlex, however. Enjoy!
Description
Mute4 is a very simple application. When run, it allows you to set your phone to the vibrate or silent profile and also set a timeout for when you want it to restore the normal volume profile.
Going to a movie? Set Mute4 for three hours. Going to a meeting? Set Mute4 to one hour. Just need a short coffee break without the phone ringing? Set Mute4 to 15 minutes.

License
This app is released under the Ms-RL.
Requirements
WM5/6/6.5
How to use
Run Mute4, then click on the Metro-style buttons to cycle through the options. The profiles available are Vibrate and Silent. The default timeouts are 15 minutes, 30 minutes, one hour, two hours, and three hours.
The "Metro style" UI was chosen for the same reason Microsoft did: it takes no time to make something look so 'basic' and I'm lazy. ;-)
How to create custom timeouts
Go to the application installation folder (\Program Files\Mute4 usually) and edit settings.ini. Under the Timeouts section, there are items called T1 through T5. The values are in minutes. You can edit those, add new lines, remove existing ones. Just remember that you can't have more than one variable name that are the same (as in, you can't have multiple "T1"). The INI reader doesn't like this. So make sure you make each variable name unique. But it doesn't really matter what you call it. The only other requiment is that the times be in increasing order. If they aren't, some values might be ignored. So if you do 15, 30, 20, the cycling will stop at 30 and cycle back to 15 in the UI.
Notes
Mute4 does not leave an app (or service) running to accomplish its task, so there is no performance degradation or battery life lost with its use. It sets a system timer to wake the phone up and run Mute4's "restore" app at the time you specified by the restore timer -- it's that simple. So have no fears about its use. In fact, you can even soft reset between running Mute4 and when the timer would normally fire and it will still fire right on time.

Changelog
Version 3
---------
- Modified the screen layout slightly to support square screens better.
- Fixed some bugs in the INI file parser (should not affect version 2.1 and older; this was related to saving INIs).
- Added the ability to modify the timeout settings within the application. Look under Menu (new right soft key) and Settings.
- The application actively checks before saving to see if Settings.ini is set to read-only and unsets the flag automatically.
- You can now select advanced mode, which lets you set the exact time the normal profile will be restored or a custom number of minutes from the current time.
- When a Mute4 timeout is set greater than 24 hours into the future, the cancel dialog will tell which day the phone is set to return to the normal profile.
- Minimizing Mute4 no longer exits the application.
- Cancel Mute4 timer button no longer flickers when pressed.
Version 2.1
-----------
- Fixed a bug in the V2 installer that set the settings.ini to read-only which could cause Mute4 to crash.
- The rare bug that was fixed in Version 2 apparently has siblings. Found another spot where enumerating the notification queue can cause a crash. Fixed.
Version 2
---------
- Fixed a bug where certain rare conditions would cause Mute4 to crash when you try to cancel an existing timer. Now Mute4 will try again and inform you if it is unable to clear the timer.
- Improved performance of some controls.
- Buttons gray out when inactive.
- Fixed a bug where certain timeout values would display incorrectly (for example, 45 minutes would display as 1 hour 45 minutes) due to incorrect math function.
- Fixed a bug (hopefully) where when on a phone call, the profile will not revert back to normal. The work around is to keep trying every five seconds until it works.
Version 1
---------
- Initial release
Thanks, such a simple idea, how did I live without this! I'm flashing today and will install asap and enjoy. Thank you.
Great idea! Will try it now. Thanks!
HTC TP2 - I want my phone volumne muted, but still want to listen to my music with my headphones. I have been told that stock WM have two seperate volumne settings, one for phone and one for device but that HTC's interface put them together.
Any idea if this mute profile is for the phone (ringer) or for the device? Would love to even take it a step further if possible to mute the phone, mute the external speaker, and keep the volumne for my music via a head set.
Nice idea, coz i always forget to switch it on back and kinda miss out some calls. Brilliant~

It affects both volumes. It uses the three built-in WM profiles (normal, vibrate, and silent) to switch, so the actual volume levels are not affected (in other words, when you switch back to normal, the volume is where you left it).
For more fine-grained volume control with a timer to reset, I recommend checking out a product called VolumeX. It should fit your needs nicely.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that if you are using Sense UI, it by default controls both volumes with one slider. If you go to settings, there's a checkbox to operate the volumes separately. That might be all you need. On the other hand, if you need a timed mute, Mute4 is for you. And if you need to manipulate volume levels on a timer, VolumeX is really great.
Very good application. I needed it...
Every so often an app comes along that quite simply kicks arse. This is one of those applications.
THANKYOU!!
Just a small bug. On my HD2, the taskbar icon doesn't change until you go in to the volume menu and then come back out of it. So it looks like the speaker is still on, even though it isn't. The same thing happens when you come back out of silent mode.

That's interesting. The icon is definitely changing on my TP2. It should change as soon as the profile is changed. Can you check to see if the same happens with other profile changing apps? For example, if you vibrate/silent using the system volume control?
Looks like its a bug in the ROM i'm using. If I change the profile under sound and display it does the same thing.
Great software
awesome app however I've always been finding one of these apps where i can schedule when it should be silent, when sound is supposed to on. Is it possible to include a scheduler in the program OP? or does anyone know any program that can allow me to schedule my sound profiles, thanks
Under your sound settings you should be able to set the phone to be on silent when you have a scheduled appointment in your calendar. You can with the HD2. Not sure about others.

yes that is tru however i would like to schedule it so it is silent when im class and not silent when not hence that wouldn't really help but thanks for the heads up
suggest a goodlooking icon for this guys..

Hi, perhase you can help me in this contence...
I tested Mute4 and also volumeX, but I didn' t find a solution for my problem.
For example in the programs "CraddleAlarn" or "Chronos" there is an input row, where I can insert a command which is executed at a from me choosen time.
I want to change to the "silent mode" each night at 2 h pm and to "normal mode" at 8 h pm.
I inserted the string "silent", but nothing happened.
Can you tell me the windows mobile system commands, that I have to put in there for silent, vibrate or normal (with the necessary prefix)?????
Thanks
Michael
Donated! Awesome app (especially once I set some custom time-outs).
Thanks!
Thank you! I remember having this feature on my Tapwave Zodiac and have missed it on every device ever since then! And now it has been restored!
THANKS ALOT man
this program is great
may i suggest making the timeouts like a clock, its really better and more handy
another thing, and i think its a bug
when set the profile to get back at anytime you want, and u are having a call then, or some body is calling you, the program doesnt change the profile, and stop trying to change it, even after the call has finished
i think making the program tries more than one time to restore the profile would solve that
Thanx again

Re: clock - Cool idea, but I won't be adding that. The source is available if anybody wants to do that.
Re: on call profile switching - Interesting find! I'll modify the profile changer to do exactly what you said... If it doesn't work, it will try again like a minute later until it 'takes.' That should solve the problem fairly well. it won't be perfect (as in there will be a lag between each retry) but it will get the job done.
