No sound but I would like the Alarm... - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

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...

A way to have alarm sound when on silent/vibrate?

Maybe there is a way to do this, but I'm not aware - does anyone know of a way to enable alarm even when teh phoen is on vibrate or on silent? (this came to me because I set the phone to silent and forgot to turn I was late for work today)
enAlarmPPC
When you mean an application for alarms, then you should really take a look at enAlarmPPC. You can simply force a volume, and it will play sound even if in "vibrate" or "mute".
awesome... I think that's exactly what I need. Thanks
i use vibrate mode all the time, but don't like the fact that it silences your phone. But this is what i have found:
Instead of going into vibrate mode through comm manager or through a "profile" (like from the HTC Touch Today plugin), go to settings and then select Sounds and Notifications. Select Notification tab, and from the drop down menu select Phone: Incoming call and select vibrate. When you do this, your phone vibrate when there is an incoming call but is not silenced for other functions of the phone like alarms, music, etc.
Disadvantage is that it is not 1 simple step, so if you back and forth between ring and vibrate it is not ideal, but if you set it on vibrate all the time like me, it is ideal.

You could probably Mortscript it...
yea, the thing is I always change to vibrate when I'm at work/quiet areas and I'd liek to have a simple profile change button that changes it to a vibrate + ringer.

Give PhoneAlarm a try! Then you can create profiles.
I agree, PhonaAlarm solves it all!!

Reminder problem

hello.my problem is:i set in "Notification Sounds" ringtone for "reminder".now when i set "alarm" on "on" ,so when after alarm ringing,so playing two ringtones together.them which i set on "reminder" and "alarm".everyone similar problem?thanx and sorry for my very very bad english
no one hasn't this problem?when ringing sound in alarm,playing melodies which i set in alarm and playing melodie which i set in reminder together crisscross
I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly but I am having an issue which I have only just noticed this morning.
I set my alarms for work and I always use the snooze sound which wakes me up the best. This morning no snooze sound. When I tested the alarm I realised it was using the reminder sound which was set to a quiet alert sound. Changing the reminder sound in the settings also changes the alarm sound.
IS this what you mean?
So, I have similar problem regarding reminder but not the same.
I think it has a serious bug, and our problems connect somehow in the background.
1.) In some cases (I can not define the rule) there is only reminder sound, not alarm. It is absolutely strange because it is not loud enough to wake me up.
2.) First I have set up 3 schedules: 5:00, 5:30, 6:00 without description text.
After I have modified them to 5:00, 5:15, 5:30, and I have given names for they.
What happens? The reminder sounds 5 (!) times, at all of the above schedules, even at 5:30 2 times! It is really strange.
Of course, probably it can be cleaned based on the registry, but this is very dangerous. What will happen after the next modification?
Any idea to fix it?
richardirv:yes,this is it.when ringing alarm,leo playing two songs together.for alarm and for reminder...
Double sound in reminders & alarms
Yes you are right.
This has been present for a long time with WM6.5 and HTC Sense/Manila.
I am guessing it is because 2 systems are operating.
A workaround I use is to assign an unobtrusive sound to reminders in WM sounds & notifications, like alarm-high frequency and a different alarm sound.
I don't think there is a fix for this.

Reminder notifications: SOUND without VIBRATION not possible
Hi, I got excatly the same problem, two sound when the clock alarm is activated. I can stand with this... but today I have found even worse problem and I am totally disapointed this htc software...
So, when I setup calendar apointment, and create "Reminder notification" for this lets say 5 minutes before event, then of course I get a pop-up with: "delay" or "cancel" the event. But the problem is with SOUND and VIBRATION for this reminder event. Namely, I can not force the phone to make a "Reminder notification" sound ONLY, without vibration. When I go to: settings, sound and screen, reminder sounds, I can turn on switch for reminders. This is OK, then click on reminders to go in and here a problem: VIBRATION: OFF, ON, ONLY. When set up to OFF and confirm, the main switch for reminders is changed to OFF! So no sounds for reminders at all!!! When I switch it on again and go into reminders settings, and choose VIBRATION ON and confirm and go back, main switch stays on but this means that the only configuration which works is to have reminder events with VIBRATION AND SOUND... totally crap
can anybody investigate? Thanks in advance.
Reminder issue
Hi I'm also having an issue with the alarm function.
On Monday I set alarms for 5:00, 5:15 & 5:30 (just in case I get lazy and sleep in)
On Monday night I turn them off, but they still sound on Tuesday????
I spoke to HTC and they said I need to reflash the latest image, which is total rubbish and a common answer to every single problem you send them.
Is this the same issue?
Is there a fix?
my workaround is to only ever set/change settings for anything like alarms or reminders in the windows settings (settings menu all settings clocks and alarms or sounds and notifications)
using the manila pages (tap alarms on home page, or settings, sound and display) always screw things up.
it seems themanila pages arent correctly integrated, in that they don't correctly feed the settings back into the windows settings. also, they don't seem to use the same paths for sounds.
look at the available alarm sounds in manila alarms, and compare it to the available alarm sounds in windows clocks and alarms screen, and once you have set a sound for an alarm in winmob, have a look at the sound for that alarm in manila alarms.
i haven't seen this problem since i started only using win mo settings pages for setting alarms.

Separating volume settings? (Also posted in Leo General)

Is there a way to separate the different volume settings, like system, SMS, reminders, etc.? I listen to music on my HD2 a lot, and I almost deafened myself by bumping the volume up and then getting a text. I like how on my old Dash 3G every option was separate instead of bunched into just the system volume -- Is there a way to do that on the HD2?
System and ring volumes can be seperatied by going to Settings tab/Sound and Display". Switch off "Use single ring/system volume"
Program and button clicks can be set to soft/loud by going to Settings tab/Menu/All Settings/Sounds and Notifications.
I also have this problem. To me, it makes sense having a single volume control that goes from full volume to silent and vibrate.
If I play media, though, volume should be controlled through a different setting, with ringer/notification being the other setting. I noticed windows mobile (or sense, I don't know which one's doing it) will pair media along with notifications and ringer will be left alone, that is, untill you get to silent or vibrate, then both volume levels are applied the same silent or vibrate rule, even media!
I take it for granted now because, before windows mobile, every smartphone and dumbphone I've used allows you to play media when the rest of the volumes are set to silent or vibrate (I personally use vibrate all the time), but then when listening to music I have to pull the phone out of vibrate, which, as OP mentioned, suddenly brings the notifications to full volume too (and I like keeping notifications at full volume when I get off of vibrate mode, for example, when I'm sleeping, and not have to jump to settings to move notifications from soft to loud).
Worse, yet, is that there's no way to create and save a sound profile, which ALL dumbphones do. The only profiles available are the ones under Sounds & Display (where Display is only a button that leads to yet another menu, what gives?!). The closest I got to a profile I use is by setting the ringer to "Vibrate", system volume to 100 and ringer volume to 0 and control "system" volume as necessary with the rocker switch (all my notifications are off until I go to sleep when I have to manually set them all on, sadly). But if I ever, by mistake, press any of the "Profiles" under Sounds & Display, all the settings I had carefully set get thrown out and I have to do it all over again.
Maybe I need to peek under window's actual settings instead of using sense, and maybe I'll find something suitable.
I look forward to a version 6.6 or 6.7, or 6.8 of windows mobile where it retains all it's power, but simple issues such as this, or finger-friendliness are resolved. Microsoft did say they'd continue working on this windows as Mobile Classic (or proffesional, was it?)
Honestly, that was my exact same reaction. I can't believe something so basic, something so simple isn't in the newer Windows Mobile OS, but the old ones had it. Honestly, this is almost a deal-breaker for me.

You can go to your START/SETTINGS/SOUND & DISPLAY & unlick where it says use single volume for both settings!
@toreone
Actually, that just separates the ringer. I want the SMS, MMS, voicemail notifications, reminders, etc. to ALL be separate. That's where my problem is.
I wish WM6.5 had Android's system of audio control. Volume control for system, ring tone, phone, media. When you're NOT doing anything, the volume control should be for ring tone. When you're on a phone call, it should just handle volume for phone call. When you're playing multimedia, it should adjust media volume.
I'm not a big fan of how WM (or maybe sense) forces the system volume to be linked to the ring volume. I can't have ring as vibrate AND still have some volume for system. It's annoying!
Can anyone help me? In Settings I do not have Sounds & Display anymore...

use your finger to swipe-scroll the settings list up and down, you'll find it there.

This does not solve the problem. "Ring" only controls the volume of rings when voice calls come through.
SMS, mms, email, chat, listening to music, etc. is all clumped into the "System" volume.
So if you set it to "single volume for both settings" then phone alerts will come through just as loud as your music. And phone alerts are usually higher pitched and more annoying.
I'm having the exact same issue as the OP... listening to music and then getting this loud sms tone. I came from using an iphone and this problem was an easy fix as the iphone separated phone alerts (ring, sms, email) from headphones/ear piece volume.

I am a newbie to HD2 but I have the old dash and old Shadows 2007 and 2009 and I agree I don't understand as to why this feature is missing in HD2. I am not sure if I missed it, but I don't see any hack on this one yet..

Sound Profile Control App Request

Does anyone know of an app for Windows Phone 7 or the Samsung Focus that will control the sound profiles like you can on Android? I want something that will give me the ability to control the ringer, Alarm, system sound, Music, and such separately. Or is there a way of doing this with standard WP7 that I just can't find. it's annoying that when I turn down the sound for the keyboard clicking too loudly, that I can't hear the ringer.
I'd also like this to have various settings that you can preconfigure for say normal, night, vibrate only, or silent other than say the alarm and ringer (for night use).
Any ideas?

I'm afraid this isn't possible with the SDK that third party developers have access to....
I don't have my own phone yet so I can't comment on if the option is already built in, but I do know that its not in the SDK.

Ringer/Volume levels

I don't know if i am missing something or what. In eclair you have vibrate as its own seperate level ( Silent -> Vibrate -> Volume 1 ->Volume 2 -> ect...). On froyo I have not been able to make vibrate its own seperate level, its either Vibrate only in silent mode, Vibrate only when not in silent mode, always, or never. Am i over-looking something?

Wouldn't Vibrate in silent mode be the same as vibrate? It will only vibrate because its...silent.
Nope, vibrant isn't the same as silent.. At my company, even a vibrating phone during meetings is a no no....

Simple Sound Profile Widget
I don't know if this will help you but go into the Market and download a free app/widget called Simple Sound Profile Widget. This is a great app that i use. You can place a widget on home screen and switch between profiles with a click and easily create new profiles. To give you an idea of how i have mine set up:
1) Loud - All sounds are set to the highest with vibrate on
2) Normal - All sounds are set to half with vibrate on
3) Silent - All sounds are off and vibrate is on
4) None - No alerts of any kind
I don't know if you looking to just switch between audio alerts and vibrate alerts easily this is the quickest and best way that i have found. You can rename the profiles to what you want them to be. This will also place a link in your notification bar so you can at a glance know what profile you are on and even change profiles without going to your home screen.
