Hello there!
I need the ability to change profiles between my free time and my work time. I tried phonealarm and while I liked it, it didn't seem to want to talk to the notifications for Windows Mobile properly.
When I had it set for my 'home' profile, I had my email notification set up to play a sound AND vibrate. However, if I was just checking the windows notification settings, it would totally eliminate my selections.
Does anyone recommend a good profile software? I need something that's going to be able to switch from a regular home profile to a custom, silent yet vibrating profile for work....
You can try DontForget. There is just Smartphone version, which you can try but the real PocketPC version will be availbale soon.

PhoneWeaver is great

what i do is i set up meetings in pOutlook when i have class and put them on reoccurring events and then have the phone notification settings turned to automatic, so the phone automatically goes to vibrate when there is a "meeting"

Hi,
I am using the latest O2 ROM with the latest Vodafone ExtROM, which works fine, APART from when I use PhoneAlarm.
The default setting for notifications of SMS messages is no audio alert, no vibration, no LED, just yes to display message. Is there anyway of changing this, I've searched the registry and can't find it.
Before I installed PhoneAlarm, I could change the alert to play "notify.wav" for a text, and it worked fine... After I installed PhoneAlarm, I've gone into the profile settings, and the default for SMS Alert was "<SYSTEM>" which is muted like detailed above. I've changed all the profiles so that it's set to "notify.wav", saved it, but it still mutes the settings like above.
This worked fine on the T-Mobile ROM, is there anyway to fix it? As the T-Mobile ROM is SLOOOOOOOOOOOW.
Cheers guys (and ladies)
-Dave.
Looks like it's nowt to do with the ROM, just downgraded to the T-Mobile one, and up to the iMate one.
Whatever I set the SMS tone to in the profiles section of PhoneAlarm, I then go to the notifications tab in Settings, and the SMS Text Notification is muted. :-/
I have the trial version of PhoneAlarm, but don't think that's owt to do with it; not going to risk paying for the full version if it's gonna do this :-/
Anyone any ides please? :-/
Regards.

I have the registered version of phone alarm and my sounds¬ifications in settings are different to what i have set in the phonealarms profile settings screen.
Best thing to do is set your sms sound in phonealarm and save settings. switch to another profile then back to the one you have just changed. and send yourself a text.
It should sound as you have it set in PA rather than the settings you have in settings\sounds¬ifications. I dont think you should go into the S&N settings as PA takes over from them the next time you switch profiles. Just make sure you have stated a sound to play rather than using <system>.
Hope this helps.
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?
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.
For example, I want to check my IMAP e-mail account automatically every hour, but only in the 10-23 time interval. The reason, besides data traffic reduction, is that the notification sound wakes me up when I sleep.
Is there a program that can do that, while still being integrated with the windows mobile mail client (so that I receive warnings in SPB panel, Xperia panel, today screen etc.)?
Thanks!
rk-OSR (from xda somewhere) lets you set specific times. It's got a badly designed UI, but works fine when set up properly.
PhoneWeaver (commercial) lets you set up timed profiles to turn of the sound and phone between 00:00 and 09:00 and so on. It's got a bunch of options to make it fit your needs.
G-profile from Ageye lets you setup time based profiles that can let you turn off the sound form new emails... Means you can still recieve them and but will not be waked by them!
G- profile has a lot more benefits as well, downside is I experice some battery drainage but not to bad.

Thanks! PhoneWeaver does the job, I will also try G-profile.
With the profile programs I just managed to "mute" the e-mail alarm sound, but it will be nicer to have a small program that changes the e-mail checking interval to None during specific hours.
Have you tried rk-OSR ?
I use the "Automatic" profile in "Settings - Sounds" which switches the phone to Vibrate if it is during the time period listed as an appointment in the calendar, which is great. However, I've noticed that it doesn't always return the phone to ring once the appointment time is over. The idea is useful but I've missed some important calls as a result of it not changing back.
A related issue is that the Sounds profile defaults to "Normal" after a soft-reset which means that I have to remember to go back into settings to change back to Automatic - which is annoying. Will the HD Tweak fix either or both of these issues?
