Hello all,
I am looking for an application of some sort that can mute the ringtone (incoming call) using the g-sensor ... by turning the TP2 upside-down.
The Nokia 5800 XM has this feature.
Since I am a complete N00B I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work

yeah nice idea
Why dont you just try it.. See what happens..
Yes, it supports this feature by default..
Or didn't you mean when you have an incoming phone call?
Double post
LOL
Indeed it features this function by default ! So sorry !!!!
I tried it before, but I flipped it the wrong way.
Post can be closed
I thought this is a standard in the TP2
Sorry just noticed the post date.
Reduce volume?
I recently saw the Leo feature regarding incoming call sound: when you just take the phone in hand while it's ringing (move the phone), the volume of ring tone fades out to minimum, still audible, not 100% silent as when you flip the phone over.
Can we do similar thing to our Rhodium?

Thanks for starting the segment. Just bought OMNIA II 8GB in India and the problem is when a call comes it is initially very low and the goes up and this cannot be changed through the usual routes. Also the ring itself starts after 3 rings at the callers end. Any help is appreciated.
BTW, Its WM 6.1. Wm 6.5 is not yet available.

This is a Samusung WM specialty (or they call it feature). The first 3 secs are always "subdued". It happens with all Samsung WM. Nothing can be done to change it. You just have to learn to get used to it. Look on the bright side, when you're in an office setting, you can usually pickup the call before it gets bursting.

Should have left the choice to the user. Guess, they must have recvd complaints but have successfully resisted all efforts at correcting themselves. Nice surprise in addition to the half assed UI called touchwiz or whatever. Tks anyway

Yes, agreed with you that they should leave that as an option for user. About the Touchwiz, well , most Omnia 2 users just dont use that. it's memory hogging and doesnt allow creating shortcuts for many programs.
I would say MAJORITY of Omnia 2 users opt for the Spb Mobile Shell instead.
You should really testdrive it yourself, and you will be delightfully surprised how well it integrates and how much smoother the whole i8000 experience is.
i agree that the ring should have been optional. but personally i like it. it saves me from suddenly jerking in surprise when my phone is on top of a table.
being easily irrated, i like the "soft" warning before it gets loud.

I did try the Shell. But what stopped me was the very rudimentary contact program. i have a large database and I absolutely need a t9 search on every field in the contact list which is not there in Shell if I am not mistaken.
Though for some reason Samsung killed the threading of sms, one feature of this touchwiz I find useful though is the search in sms. Guess as a heavy cell user, over the years, I have developed some specific likes & dislikes. Like I absolutely need to see the future appointments on the today screen & launch particular program from today. etc..

Agreed. But its peculiar. It rings softly first. Then it just vibrates (if u hv vibrate on) but no rings (??? crazy or what ???), then the ringing becomes louder. The whole process takes 5-7 seconds. Now, if u miss these (u can if u r busy or a little distance away from the cell), by the time u hear the louder ring and go to pick up the phone, the caller may go away. It is happening with me.
a solution
to prevent the delay in getting the initial ring, I advice to stop the lock screen from setting/ display and light/ lock screen
then make the device wake up with the lock button only
setting/general settings/ button/wake up/ lock button only
regarding the initial low ring tone, still no solution

Go into your sound settings (Settings -> Sound Settings -> Ring) and check the alert type. Sounds like you have "Vibrate then ring" selected. If you select "Vibrate and ring", it'll function a little bit smoother.

don't think this has anything to do with locks. Any way mine is set as u hv said. Considering yr suggestion & the another here and that my settings are exactly as u both hv suggested, cud it b that samsung has made such a mess that certain issues are machine specific ? Wudn't that b just great!!!

Its already set that way. I think I may have overeacted with initial missing 3 rings. I think I missed it due to some network issue. Thanks anyway.
No fix for 3sec low ring till now..
I just increased the first 3 seconds of my ringtone.. good workaround..

He means you can use "Audio Editor" program on PC to increase the volumn of the first 3 seconds of your ringone.
I actually do have (on Verizon i920) a delay of 3-4 rings (at the callers end) before my phone rings or vibrates. I think I have a bad phone as no one else seems to have this issue.

Correct..! or you may also use Mixx Mobile a software to create ringtones on your WinMo phone..
I love my trackball notifications, I have Trackball alert pro and was using it in alpha/beta.
But when i get an email while on the phone, why does the light have to constantly flash in my face? gaahhhhhhhhhh
lol never really bothered me
i imagine theres a way they could programatically disable it when on the phone...
Sorry if this is trivial but this is my first Samsung device I was HTC exclusive for quite some time just needed a change..
Anyway here is my problem: I am not getting any vibration when it come to alerts. Text email etc. It works for incoming calls and haptic work when typing and using soft keys. So is th is just how Samsung does things or am I overlooking a setting somewhere ? Not the end of the world just trying to customize the phone a little better for me
Again sorry if it's such a trivial thing I just can't seem to change it
HI, bit of a weird one but im in search of an app that will allow a notification to vibrate the phone constantly like a phone call does!
Basically I need to know when I have an email at work and dont want to miss it, if its in my pocket and vibrates once ( like it does standard) I usually miss the email............
any advice would be great ! :good:
