How to silence text messages from 1 person???

[JAJameson2010]

This may seem like a trivial question, but my sister's life is at risk. I'm pretty close to killing her! I need to leave my phone's volume on at night in case I get a text/phone call from work or a family emergency arises (happens more than you would think)

Sister cannot quite get it through her brain to NOT text me between the hours of 9:30 pm- 8am. Plus the BF gets up at 3:30am to go to work, so he's not thrilled either.

I was very nifty last night and recorded a silent clip then set it as her specific ringtone, but it didn't work on the text messages, just the phone calls! I'm out of ideas other than murder! Can anyone help? I am rooted if that helps at all...

If you use Handcent SMS....found in the market, you can blacklist contacts from messaging you. It's also better then the stock SMS that comes with the phone and it's free.

Sorry I misread your post. There's an app called "Bedtime" to where you can set up who calls and messages you.

Edit: I meant "Bedside" not bedtime.

 

[JAJameson2010]

YES! Will look into Bedtime today! I don't want to block all her texts since we did deal with a suicide attempt 2 months ago... Actually the drs categorized ti as a suicide instead of just an attempt... Oh the Drama! Plus my Dad is teetering on the edge again... *sigh*

Thank you SOOOO much for your help!

No problem.... yea bedtime will only block her texts when you have bedtimes app running. I use it at night so I don't get any phone calls or messages that would wake me up. But I have a list set up for family in case of an emergency. You can set it to phonecalls and SMS.

Why dont you just set call to go straight to voicemail under contact settings?

You can also go to a contacts info page for the caller you want to silence and select a quite ringer or create a blank audio mp3 and select it as a custom ringer for that contact.

Also I use a app called Call Blocker Gold that has this option also.
Just completely read post again and looks like Call Blocker Gold in for you, get it from Call Blocker Gold License - Android app on AppBrain , download trial..

The gold version is a upgrade of the Elite version I am still usings so options should be similar.

the blank mp3 file worked on the phone calls but not the text messages... Hoping the bedtime thing will work perfectly!

The blank file can be used for text notification also.

oh... so the Call Blocker Gold lets me set a specif ringer for each SMS along with a specif ringtone?

No it doesn't change the ringer but you can set the phone to silence the call from that user all the time or just during a curtain time of day. I use it to block my calls automatically when im at work since using phones are restricted and then it will allow calls from everyone after the hours I am not set to work.

You can set individual SMS notifications in Handcent to any specified tone or "silent", which is what you want. You don't need to use any other app.

If they are not using Handcent, they will...

No, I don't think Handcent is what she is looking for at all. She isn't saying she wants no SMS notifications from her sister EVER..just between certain hours at night. Nobody would want to go into Handcent or any other app & change ringtones/notifications a couple times a day.

It sounds to me like "Call Blocker Gold" is exactly what she is looking for. I checked in my market for the app "Bedtime" or whatever else was suggested & I come up with no matches?? Does anyone have a direct link.

Ringo Lite lets you assign separate Ringtones for sms or call ringtone for any contact.

If you read the original post. She only wants it for certain hours, specifically at night.... not all the time. Its called "Bedside" in the market.

I found the app and read the description and it does appear to be a workable solution also... You can find information and download from Bedside (Night Clock) - Android app on AppBrain
