Is there a way to have a single contact bypass silent mode? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Is there a way to have a single contact bypass silent mode? Only way i found is to use the do not disturb mode, but there is only option to set for all contacts or all favorites. I would like to only have the one contact ring and still have others on favorites as well. I am currently using the stock programs.

Is there a way to assign ringtones based on category?

Is there a way to assign ringtones based on category with the HTC Wizard (IE: Friends get ring1, family gets ring2, business gets ring3, etc.)? I have found a way to assign the ringtone for each specific contact, but that can be a pain when you have a large number of contacts.
Thanks in advance,
You can do that with Photo Contact Pro!
I don't think it is possible in default WM5
Doesn't mortring do that, free?

How did you do that?
shdwphnx, How did you assign ringtones by contacts?

Edit your contact, and scroll down about 75% of the screen - there is a Ringtone option there. At least there is on my US T-Mobile MDA.
BTW, which field is used in Outlook for Ringtone? Perhaps it would be easier to assign the ringtone on PC and then sync it?

I just found Mortring, and it is unfortunately currently not compatible with WM5.

As far as I have been able to determine, the Ringtone field is not transferred to Outlook on the PC.
Hopefully Mort will update his program, or someone else will release something similar for a reasonable price. (I found a few such as Photo Contacts Pro, but they all have lots of features I don't need, and am not willing to pay for).
There is a nice app that does excactly that, i've tried it out on my k-jam and worked very well, assigning ringtones to groups and even sms tones to groups or individual contacts and still keeping the default sms notification tone!
However (there always are howevers)
Before installing the app, when i would receive an incoming call and just wanted to silence the ringer, not reject the call i'd simply slide the volume button up or down and the ring would stop.
After installing it i could no longer silence a call by the volume button, therefore my only options where to answer it or reject it.
I contacted their support team and was told that it's not possible to silence the ringer as the app's ringer is controlled by the system volume, not the phone volume..
If you're quite happy not having the option to silence the ringer of an incoming call, then i recommend trying this app.

Voice command 1.6 and vibrate...

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.

Conference number in calendar events

Did anyone find out how to use conference dialing numbers with passcodes in calendar events?
Acording to the manual and and new WM6.5 options it is possible to have the phone dial a conference and enter the password if you put it in the body of a calendar event.
For some reason it does not work for me.
If I put in a number like 555-12345p11111# the HD2 breaks it up and shows/dials only 555-12345 if I press the green button on a reminder.
Did you find out how to do this? I have some reminders where it shows up, others where it doesn't, and can't figure out what's what.

Is there a way to make HD2 ring for a certain contacts even in Silent Mode?

Hi Friends
Well,i would love to have my HD2 have this feature as i dont want to miss calls from certain very important persons in my life....any one knows a way 2 do this?
you can set 1 ringtone per contact actually. or group your contacts and set ringtone per group. all native alread in windows.
so instead of silent mode you set a default ring of something silent or a mere ping and then set up the contacts you want to hear with their own or a group ringtone.
at least the ringtone/group option is available under 6.5.x winmob versions

calendar alert/notification sound

Is there a way to have an alarm sound when setting appointments or reminders using the Calender? For some reason I only get a beep or the prelisted alternative one beep sound when I get a Calender notification. I would have preferred a more 'alarm-like' feature. Even the beep is turned off if I decided to put my phone in silent mode. That is stupid. The alarm clock is set to go off even in silent mode why can't the calendar notification do the same? What's the point?
If there is no way to rectify this issue is there another calendar that as the alternative to set an alarm; single or continuous be recommended by someone please?
