i'm wondering if there is a way when i use the "SILENT" profile if i can make an exception for a contact to let a call pass through and actually ring so i don't get disturbed after working an overnight while sleeping in case of an emergency or if i sleep through the alarm clock
i dont have a landline so i MUST leave my phone on
You should be able to do that using the Important Calls profile exception like this:
1. Go into Profiles then Advanced
2. Scroll down to where it says Important Calls and make sure it's checked.
3. menu key->Edit and scroll to the From: line
4. menu key->Add Name and pick a contact from the list. You can do this as many times as you'd like if you want. The Profile exception will apply when any of those contacts call.
5. Scroll to Use Profile: and select the profile you want to use when they call. I'd guess you'd want Normal or even Loud in case you're sleeping.
6. If you want, you can change the custom ringtone to use as well.
7. Escape/back key and save your changes
This profile exception will be used no matter what profile is running when the call comes in, so it overrides everything else.
i love the zen theme cause i can see my wallpaper w/o being covered.
all you have to do is click menu over an icon, select move, and move the trackball till you get it to the spot that you want, and press menu, complete move. the trick is that THE FIRST 5 ICONS ON THE TOP ROW THE MAIN MENU will be on the left side while using the zen theme
I also use the Zen theme so I can see my wife and kids without having icons in the middle of their faces.
Is there a way to silence the keys and ball clicks when you switch to "Quiet" without having to go into setup and change them? I want to be able to use my BB at night without waking my wife with all the beeps and clicks. Its a pain to have to shut them off at night and turn them back on in the morning.
When my profile is set to sound (phone sound rings vs. vibrate, etc.), why is it that when I receive another call (calling waiting) when already on the phone, the phone does NOT ring a sound to tell me that another call is coming through? Very annoying since I'm missing calls. Thanks.
I have created a personalized an alert/tone for a specific contact by creating a new custom profile (edited all the notifications such as phone, SMS, and MMS) and a new exception.
I understand that voicemails are considered SMS and will alert you according to the ringer chosen for SMS.
However, I noticed that when a voicemail comes in, it's ringer is not the SMS tone from the active profile, but the tone from the customized profile of my specific contact. Now, I did receive the voicemail from said specific contact. Is the BB that intuitive? If not, can someone explain what is happening. I think I've confused my phone with all the profiles and exceptions!
i had a question:
is there a way to customize the ringer when an exception on the profile messages me?
i have alot of ppl with customized ringtones and i wanted to apply that same ringer when they send me a txt...
Thank you for that, but I was wondering if each contact I have in my address book can have a separate ringtone?
Thanks!!!
Definitely. Go into your address book. Select the contact you want to add the ring tone to. Highlight it, click EDIT.
Press the Menu button and select "Add custom phone tune" and select the ringtone.
I've done quite a bit of searching and still can't find a definitive answer on this.
Simply put, I'd like custom ring tones for phone calls and text messages for several contacts. If mom calls or texts me, I want ringtone B to play instead of default ringtone A. However, if my phone is set to vibrate, I still want it to vibrate.
I've used several combinations of custom profiles and exceptions and this just doesn't seem to be possible. Can someone tell me if this truly is impossible, or if there is a way to do it how?
Question: I have custom ringtones set up on a few contacts, but it won't let me change them. It will say the contact has a different ringtone, but the old(est) one is still the one that plays when they call. Help?!?
do u know how to set a message tone for the blackberry 8100
i hav tried evry thing but i cant figure it out
Try going to your home screen and you should have a speaker icon. Scroll down to advanced. Select your profile that you're using, and you'll see all sorts of stuff. SMS and MMS are your text and multimedia messages. Hope I helped!
If you want to use different ringtones for different people, you can do that via the Address book. Edit a contact there and then do menu->Add Custom Phone Tune. That will set it for incoming calls, but don't believe there is a way to set a ringtone for incoming texts.
I migrated to BB Curve 8320 from a treo 750, on my treo I was able to setup a ringtone that recognize callers that were in my address book with a general tone, and I was able to set a different ringtone for anyone who called me that the number was unknown (I used the theme from CSI "Who are You") can I do this with my 8320? If so how?
