Sound/Vibrate remedy
I think this is a bit of a pain I am noticing. Not the end of the work but i find myself missing calls as i just leave my phone in vibrate all the time.
Reason being is I want 2 profiles, not time sensitive, just to switch to
1.
Emails - No Sound, Vibration does not matter either
Text Messages - Sound or a vibrate notification
Calls - Sound/Ringtone
2. Everything vibrates
2 is achievable but I am having trouble with the 1st. I dl sound manager, but when i move the notification volume down, the ringtone volume goes down too.
Here's how I did it with no widgets or software from the Marketplace
-first, turn up ur volume via the rocker switch
-From the main Droid homepage, press "Menu" then "Settings"
-Then press "Sound & Display"
-Press "Ringer Volume" and check "Use incoming call volume for notifications" and press "Ok"
-Press "Phone vibrate" checkbox on
-Go back to homescreen.
-Open "Messaging"
-Press Menu key and press "Settings"
-Scroll down to "Notifications Settings" section
-Press "Vibrate" checkbox so that it is checked
-Go back to homepage and open Gmail or regular Mail app, whichever you're using.
-Press Menu key, then press "Settings"
-I like to have email notifications in Status bar, so I check "Email Notifications"
-"Select ringtone", I have this set to "Silent" option.
-"Vibrate", you're option, I have mine unchecked
So when I'm at home or out and about and I want sounds, I toggle my Volume rocker on the side to max volume or alittle below max.
When I'm at work and just want my phone to vibrate, I tobble my Volume Rocker on the side all the way down until the sound is off.
THEN tap the Volume rocker up 1 notch and you'll feel the phone vibrate.
So now in this mode, phone calls vibrate, text msgs vibrate, everything vibrates, EXCEPT my GMail emails. I only get a blinking light and an email notification in the status bar if my screen is on.
Hope this helps...and hope I explained it well enough for you to follow
