Kids, while they are at school, wish to have the phone in silent mode. All other time, would like to have the ringer on. Is it possible to program the ringer mode with days and time? Is it a challenge to Android or the device manufacturers or for Google? Anyway, my kids will be the first users, if it is available.

I have to repeat alarm for between 1 day to 60 days. For example, the user can be able to repeat alarm after every 5 days, 10 days or 60 days (maximum).
Option1 ( Implemented Code
alarmmanager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()+ (durationInDays * 24 * 3600 * 1000), (durationInDays * 24 * 3600 * 1000), pIntent);
Note: But it is working fine but it supports maximum 10 days(appx) repeating only after that "(durationInDays * 24 * 3600 * 1000)" it goes into -ve value so, I am unable to set maximum 60 days alarm repeatedly. AlarmManager class only supports a long value for choosing the interval between the execution of the pending intent.
Is there any other option to set repeat alarm for the no of days ?
Option 2 ( Implemented Code:
Date futureDate = new Date(new Date().getTime() + (86400000 * durationInDays));
Date dateInterval = new Date(86400000 * durationInDays);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, futureDate.getTime(), dateInterval.getTime(), pendingIntent);
Note: We set repeating alarm maximum every 24 days but when i give (durationInDays = 25; // in Days) then it takes -ve values.
Can I set repeating alarm with Calender?
When I was using Froyo and Gingerbread I was able to specify days and time span in which particular mailbox will sync.
I cannot find this in ICS 4.0.3 anymore. Is that intentional "progress" in Android 4.0.3 ?
Please tell me that this phone has this feature? On the blackberry, you can set up multiple ringer profiles (i.e. office, home, normal, vibrate, vibrate & ring, etc.)

Is there a way to set up my phone so that some contacts will be able to ring my phone, even if the ringer volume is off?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the following broadcast receiver:
public class MyRingModeReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Logger.iLog("In my Receiver"); } }
I then have a service that onCreate does the following:
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction("android.media.RINGER_MODE_CHANGED");
registerReceiver(new MyRingModeReceiver() , filter);
When I place a call to the emulator and use the volume keys to modify (silence) the ringer
nothing happens.
IS there a way to keep the phone from ringing constantly without a break betweens rings?
I pick a nice quiet little ringer but when my phone rings its so annoying because its like "RingRingRingRing" instead of "Ring..................Ring".
I have an application that creates a notification with sound when a specific text comes in. To do this, I detect the current ringerMode, change the ringerMode to normal, play the sound, and then quickly return the ringer back to its original setting.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got some problems muting the phone via code. The app I develop should mute the phone when a call comes in. This means it should not ring and vibrate at all. My first attempt so archive this was setting the AudioManager Ringer Mode to RINGER_MODE_SILENT using the following code.
AudioManager am = (AudioManager) this.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE); am.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);
While the phone stops ringing it continues to vibrate although the documentation of RINGER_MODE_SILENT says it should also stop vibrating. My second attempt was to switch off the vibration mode manually. am.setVibrateSetting(AudioManager.VIBRATE_TYPE_RINGER, AudioManager.VIBRATE_SETTING_OFF ); But this also doesn't stop the phone vibrating.
I use Ear to set my ringer profile and it seems to work great. However the ringer volume often goes to silent mode, because I unintentional push the ringer volume button and I miss the calls. Does anyone have a solution for this? Is it possible to turn of the ringer volume button on the Hero?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently picked up a used Eris and love it. It's my first Android phone, and it works flawlessly--most of the time. My main issue is the volume settings. None of them actually adjust; my ringer and notifications ring at full volume all the time and my In-call volume is absurdly loud. I have searched this forum and have found many have issues with low volume. My problem is the opposite. I have tried adjusting the volume in the settings screen and while on the phone talking to somebody. Neither works. While adjusting the ringer volume, it just rings at the loudest volume all the time. My firmware version is 2.1.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to change the ringer mode of the phone to RINGER_MODE_SILENT when a call is incoming by using the following lines of code.
CODE:...............
While the phone stops ringing it continue to vibrate although the documentation of RINGER_MODE_SILENT says it should also stop vibrating.
I'm using the SDK 1.6
UPDATE:
As I didn't find a solution yet, I tried to deactivate the vibration settings manually.
am.setVibrateSetting(AudioManager.VIBRATE_TYPE_RINGER, AudioManager.VIBRATE_SETTING_OFF );
But this also doesn't prevent the phone form vibrating when a call is incoming.
UPDATE 2:
Today I tried to solve the problem by canceling the vibration via a Vibration object.
Vibrator vib = (Vibrator) getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
vib.cancel();
Again, without success. Now I'm running out of ideas and asking myself if it is possible to stop the vibration at all.
UPDATE 3:
I've discovered another interesting fact when I've reread the documentation of the Vibrator class. The documentation says:
"If your process exits, any vibration
you started with will stop."
My test machine is on the slow side and so the AVD sometimes runs considerably slower than a real phone. Slow enough, in fact, that some UI operations throw an ANR when my app has a lot of background activity going on (ANRs that I never see when testing on real hardware). I'd like to adjust the ANR time to account for the slow AVD. Is there a way to do that?

In android emulator, I am in landscape mode and double click the text edit panel. the softkeyboard does not show up. However, it works in portrait mode.
I have check some of posts on line. They said because of hardkeyboard is available in landscape mode. If that so, how can i disable the hardkeyboard. Or is there any setting reason for this problem?
Is there Any way to set the width of the Layout.

Truly enjoying my EVO. On old blackberry, I could set profile to silent and assign number exceptions that would still ring through (eg wife, family etc). Is there such a setting on the EVO? I want to keep phone on silent during night, but also want critical calls to ring through. Any thoughts??

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have found this forum very helpful, but can't find my issue anywhere. I just recently switched to the Droid X from an Omnia i910 (verizon) and love it! I used SMS Exporter (WM) and SMSBackup (android) to copy all of my SMS over. It worked perfectly; however, when i view a conversation my text box displays "A valid address is required to send this message". I am unable to type anything to text. If I open a new message and send it to the same contact, it updates in the conversation. When I open the conversation the error is still there.
I used the method from: here to do the SMS transfer.
I have also verified that all my contact names match up, and this issue effects all of my messages.

You would think it would have the actual date and time the peson sent the message. Am I missing something?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm facing a connectivity problem in my IM-client for a long time already, but still can't find out how to fix it. Found a similar bug report here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2059 except PowerManager.SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK didn't work for me :(
So here is the problem: when device goes idle, wifi is being kept connected for some unpredictable time(1-20 min), but then established connection brakes and here is what i see on the ddms console:
CODE:...............
And "-1" is coming on read() from input stream or SocketException is raised. Then my app is trying to reconnect and sometimes it's successful almost immediately, but sometimes it takes more than 2-3 tries to reconnect(WifiMonitor logs reconnects again and again) with 10 seconds timeout.
Preventing some advices - yes, there is a PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK and wifilock held by my app, but as i can see this is not enough.
Is it generally possible to have Wifi Tethering turned on (creating a Hotspot) and at the same time scanning for Wifi devices? I want several devices just discover (NOT connect) each other and log the signal strength. To do that all devices must be discoverable over Wifi and at the same time discover others.
I would just need that for some specific use case..
I can use AudioRecord to pull the audio data out. But the format is PCM, which is too huge to sent out through network. Does any one know how to change it to AMR ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to set the ringer mode to silent for specific events in the future. It should only happen if a checkbox in the preferences is checked. I know that I have to update the manifest for the permissions and also that I can set the ringer mode with something like this:
if (getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE).getBoolean(PREFS_KEY_SILENTOPTION, false)) {
AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(AUDIO_SERVICE);
audioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);
}
But how can I set (and reset) it for a space of time in the future?
How do I set up a message group so I can send the same text to multiple people at the same time? I used to do this on my nokia but cannot find the way on the x10
View 2 Replies View RelatedIf you go into settings/date and time the first option is a check box that says Automatic (use network-provided values). If you uncheck that it does not stick through a reboot. Upon restarting your phone this box will be checked once again. Now for the interesting part. If I put the phone into flight mode, uncheck the automatic box and then change the time and/or date. The instant I re-check automatic the time is reset correctly. How is this possible? I thought that flight mode actually turned the radio off. If it does indeed turn the radio off then how is the phone able to instantly set the time to the correct value?
