I am having trouble with the sound profiles on the vibrant, mostly in understanding them. Let me explain. When I am listening to music (stock music player) on my wired headphones I get the following results:
Incoming sms (stock client) will vibrate even though vibrate is disabled
Incoming mail (stock client) will chime in the headphones (expected result)
Incoming yahoo IM (true yahoo version from market) messages (come through speaker)
All notifications are set to some sort or audible alert with vibrate off and all work properly through the speaker when headphones are not in use, Is there anyway to make all the notifications go off audibly in the headphones? Or to at least make them all consistently do the same thing.
No replies....
Can anyone even confirm that their units experience the same

You did open the messaging application, press menu, settings and scroll to the bottom and disable vibration, right. Not trying to be rude, just making sure you know that notifications are set on a per-app basis.
Yes I did but honestly am more concerned with my yahoo notifications coming through the system speaker. I can replace the stock sms with handcent and that part is resolved. I often listen to music at the library or in a "quiet" place and the yahoo coming through the system speaker is an issue in a situtation like that
Well then I would suggest you go tell Yahoo that they're doing it wrong.
To be honest, I didn't know anyone actually used yahoo.
ok well thanks for the reply
I personally use Timeriffic from the market to manage my profiles. I got tired of trying to figure out the phone.

I have a dilemma that I'm hoping someone can help me out with.
I use my Wizard as my daily alarm clock, but don't want to be prematurely awakened by calls or emails. Right now, my only option is to turn on flight mode, but I need to see if I missed any calls while I was asleep. So I need to keep system sounds on, but turn off notification of messages and calls.
Anybody know of a way to set this up or know of some software that would help?
I was wondering the same thing myself, and I found nothing of help. Looks like the Wizards are really not good as alarm clocks - for the reason you are talking about, but also because alarms are so unreliable.
I cant soeak to the reliability of teh alarms, but you could get something like PocketZenPhone. That way you could have a profile with the ringer shut off but whatever notifications you want notifications left on. You could also set it to switch to this profile at a set time so you won't have to remember to do it.
I just downlaoded teh 30 day trial and it see,s to be working well with a small footprint.
turn off phone
I worked round this by turning off the phone in comm manager but leaving the sound enabled - you get the alarm as required but you're not disturbed by incoming txt/email/calls.

It is not free but I use a really cool utility from Pocketmax that lets you set all kinds of profiles so that you can have the phoen ring but no e-mail sounds or whatever you want. You can also set it to change when you plug it in, or on a schedule. Pretty neat.
PPCProfilesPro
One that is free, and does as above-mentioned programs, is MoDaCo's PPCProfilesPro.

Requires registration to the website to download, but well worth it. I found it yesterday while searching for exactly the same thing.
isn't there a silent wav file that you can use as the tones for messages and calls when you sleep?
Hi guys...
i've been experiencing a few software problems on the phone. can you check this out for me...
I have all my sounds set to different ring tones.. ie. phone ring is dog bark. reminder is alarm 3. new message is something else..etc.
Everything remains fine... until a reminder goes off for an appointment
Whenever i make an appointmentwith a reminder and it then goes off, it plays the pre-installed default sound instead of the one i've chosen. What it also does...is it then resets ALL of my sound settings including my phone ring, my new SMS sent, my wake up alarms to the original default sounds. WTF?
After 7 hours of trying different things..I've narrowed it down to the reminders. so.. no reminders = i keep my sound settings...and i can't stand the preset bank of sounds the TYTN came with. grr.
Can you verify that for me please? is it a software bug? I'm in montreal this week getting married (YAY) and so i'm going to be away from my machine and cant afford to do a hard reset and lose all my contacts).
Thanks In Advance
Cheers.

PS.
Also, anyway to set all sounds to go to the storage/my documents/my music folder instead of the internal windows "ring" folder? i'd love to know how to edit this in the registry (i'm sure it can be done), and use this folder for all my reminder/alarm/msg/ring sounds...Its just I have no experience in hacking the registry or know where to begin looking.
thanks
I was wondering if there was any way of allowing voice command to still voice the notifications from the calander while the phone is on vibrate...
I dont want to have to switch a bunch of things in the phone when i walk into work to get it to work correctly... I also have htc home - schen 2.10 and would like to be able to actively switch through there for the different sound options...
is there a reg value that i can edit? or something with the htc home that i can setup to just vibrate under the last option in the menu to my custom settings to set to just vibrate and stop sounds and notifications but allow the voice command come through without issues?
Thanks,
Dan
You can use a "silent" ringtone and set the phone to ring & vibrate. There is one around called silent.wav -- you can probably find it if you search for it.
that will solve one of my problems, but what about silencing the notifications for text messages... i want everything to vibrate but the voiced reminders....
uhm maybe use the same wav file for notifications too?
notifications can play a sound and vibrate at the same time?
Check out settings>personal>sounds & notifications>notifications. The event option is a dropscreen and you can pick the different things to configure.
Cheers...
brilliant... i was looking for this before but had a blonde moment appearantly...
now, is there any way to setup the sound settings in the htc home to revert to different ringer settings with the 4th option on the page? so at work i could have it work as one setting, and outside i can select the first and i can have it revert to ring and everything as normal?
i would like to custom set the different profiles...
Problem is windows mobile doesn't have more than 3 profiles. If you want more your going to have to install a 3rd party program.
I have paintstakenly set all of my events (including birthdays) to have a notification of NONE. However, the Incredible seems to flash the screen and "loud ping" every 10 minutes to notify me of these events anyway. I have had to resort to running Timeriffic to turn off all sounds until I wake up.
I am wondering if there is a way to get birthdays (which I believe are the problem) to actually NOT notify if you have set them to NOT notify. I dont want to completely disable notifications in case I do have a meeting or something, but this is somewhat ridiculous.
Thanks
None of my events make any sounds if they are not set to notify.
<sigh>
Ummm ... ok ... so from that response I take it that you are unable to answer my question but replied anyway.
If anyone can actually answer it, I would appreciate any suggestions. I suspect that this may be more for events which recur yearly; perhaps those are prone to the problem.
Events can come from many sources, Google calendar, exchange, etc...
In exchange there is no difference between a birthday or any other event, they are just events.
Not sure about Google Calendar.
in addition i was wondering if its possible to make calls a notification so they dont bother me all the t ime when i am playing games. i cant do airplane mode cause i still need data and need to see who is calling but i hate that i have to mute it and then do the task swkitcher and go back to my game, i wish it was just a notifcation or an option for that or an app? anyone know of one?
So after the latest update I now get audible notifications for everything... emails, text messages, facebook updates, you name it. Driving me mad! I just want text messages to have an audible alert. I looked under the settings for each account and under the audio piece and I can't figure how to change it. Someone please point me in the right direction
Go into the each of the apps that have notifications and change the ringtone for it to silent. Such as gmail or email or whatever Silent should be the second ringtone in the list after Default Ringtone.
What about the Low Battery warning ? How do I turn that off ?
I get my phone ringtone and it is a pain in the a*se. I was even on a call and all of a sudden I am listening to my phone ringtone going off at the same time.
It seems that this phone or motoblow is missing the defaut notification of "silent" anyone know how to enable this? It is a pia going into every app, to set it to silent. Thanks -Mike
