Ringer Keys

[Loren Swaggr]

Irealise that Android 9 has changed the default behaviour of the volume keys, to adjust the media volume by default. Whilst I can appreciate that some users might find this useful, I much preferred the ringer volume being changed by default and the media volume changing when media was being played. It seems like now there is no way to change the ringer volume using the hardware keys.

Is there any way to undo this change in defaults and make the volume keys adjust the ringer volume by default? Essentially I want to do the opposite of this question. Ideally I'd like not to have to install some questionable app to do it, I have root access so can use that if there's some command that I can change.

Or at the very least, is there a way to stop the ringtone from playing when I change volume from the "Sound" setting menu? Typically when I am changing the ringer volume I'm trying to reduce the amount of noise I might make, but changing the ringer volume through the "Sound" menu causes Android start playing my ringtone, which is very annoying.

I was very frustrated when Android 9 changed the volume buttons to control the media volume all the time so I developed an app to fix this and make the volume buttons control the ringtone and notification volume as it used to. It's free and you can install it from here: [ =com.softstackdev.volumeFix ]

I'm referring to preventing the user from silencing the ringer by turning the volume down to 0. We'd like to set the ring volume to a specific value and prevent the end user from adjusting it. I know you can disable to volume button to completely to accomplish this, but that is not something we going to be allowed to do in our environment

I was just wondering if there was an Apple setting option that would allow me to keep the key clicks on but silence ringer sounds/all other notifications. I feel a deep emptiness in my soul when I type on the keyboard and I can't hear the click-click sound, but I also have a lot of classes and meetings where I have to keep my ringer off, which effectively silences that sound effect.

I have three tables: organization, organization_teams and org_users. Here organization_teams is inherited from organization. So suppose if a record is added in organizations_teams it will get the organization table id as value for id column in organization_teams.

The short version: you can use foreign keys, or table inheritance, but not both. This isn't inherently impossible, it's just that it's technically quite difficult to implement unique indexes that span inherited tables in PostgreSQL in a fast, reliable manner. Without that, you can't have a useful foreign key. Nobody's successfully implemented it well enough for a patch adding support to be accepted into PostgreSQL yet.

A foreign key can point to a table that is part of an inheritance hierarchy, but it'll only find rows in that table exactly. Not in any parent or child tables. To see which rows the foreign key sees, do a SELECT * FROM ONLY thetable. The ONLY keyword means "ignoring inheritance" and that's what the foreign key lookup will do.

Which basic phone do you have? Try using the volume control keys on the side of the phone - on my old flip phone I could press and hold the volume down to get it into vibrate mode, and press and hold the volume up to bring it back to ringing again.

I want to create a puzzle where I have a old landline phone with a keypad connected to an Arduino. I want the Arduino to cause the phone to ring and then when it is picked up to play a audio file. Then the person presses a series of keys that goes to the Arduino then the Arduino plays another audio file after they press the correct keys.

What would be the easiest way to accomplish this? I need it to require no setup if power is cycled. I would like to use an Arduino , but if its impossible and I need to use a Raspberry Pi, I need it to be straightforward/guided setup. Thank you for the help.

I'm assuming you already know the difference between a raspberry pi and an Arduino. I think it would be possible to use an Arduino to accomplish this, since it won't need wifi connectivity, to use cameras, or any other tasks that are easier on a raspberry pi. Here are some other posts you should look at as guidance:

I guess it depends on how much you are willing to modify the phone. Standard phones combine signalling and audio over two wires, which is great for telephone exchange systems, but less great for connection to MCUs.

Building the exchange side will require some bespoke circuitry. An easy method for a one off project is probably to modify the phone to create separate connections for the mic, speaker, ringer and keypad. The mic and speaker can then be driven with standard audio components. The keypad can probably be connected directly to the digital pins,.

I have done this using an MP3 player board which has an sd card (I can play back from a selection of MP3 files) and I ring the bell using a H bridge to provide the "ac signal", I found 12v is enough for a convincing ring. I found that by adjusting the volume of the MP3 player it can work as a normal handset but can also be loud enough to hear it without picking up the handset.

Thank you for the link! I have already tried ripping the gut out of the phone and using my own board and connecting to the keypad and using a mini solenoid to ring the ringer and connecting the reciever speaker to a audio board. I am trying to see if there is a way to use capitalize on the original parts and communicate with it like a "real" phone.

It is a DTMF tone phone with a keypad. Thank you for the link!

You can adjust the ringer volume of your handset according to the noise level of the surrounding environment. The ringer volume can be adjusted using the menu or the predefined shortcuts (left and right navigation keys) on the keypad when the handset is idle. The handset supports 5 different ringer volume levels. The default level is 3.

Line keys allow you to quickly access features such as recall and voicemail. You can assign predefined functionalities to line keys and can define a label for a line key feature, which will appear on the LCD screen. The line key LEDs will indicate the monitored status when line keys are assigned with particular features, such as Busy Lamp Field.

Ring tones are used to indicate incoming calls. You can select different ring tones to distinguish different telephone numbers registered on your phone. To select a ring tone via your Yealink phone, follow these steps.

Do Not Disturb (DND) can be used to reject incoming calls automatically on the phone. Missed calls will appear on the LCD screen, and callers will receive a busy message. All calls you receive while DND is activated are logged to your missed calls list.

According to our pros, an AirTag is one of the best luggage trackers out there, but that doesn't mean this gadget isn't a fantastic key finder for iPhone users as well. Our pros love how quick and easy it is to set up an AirTag and how seamless it is to use. We also like that you can track your missing keys or belongings in real-time by using Find My Network and that its expected range is likely up to 800 feet thanks to Bluetooth 5.0, though we haven't yet confirmed this in our Lab.

The only downside is that the design doesn't come with a hole so to be able to get the AirTag around your keychain, you'll need to purchase an additional key ring for the AirTag itself. But thankfully there are several fun colorful options online.

The sleek design and functionality make this key finder our most stylish pick. While most key finders are black or white, testers loved the fun pops of color available online. "Even buried in my purse it's easy to spot!" says one tester. In addition to colorful designs, our pros like that the key locater sends an alert if it gets out of range. Just keep in mind that the range, which is around 100 feet, isn't ideal for anyone that wants to track items that may have been left behind far away, like the office or school.

There are a few other key finders that are water-resistant, but what sets the Cube Pro apart is that it's waterproof and has a replaceable battery. Its design makes it a reliable choice for pets who spend a lot of time outdoors in all sorts of weather. Our pros like that the Cube app will show you the last known location of your missing item and the tracker can also help you find your lost phone. And reviewers love the bonus feature of alerting you, via the disconnect feature, if you get too far from your phone.

While most key finders are designed to attach to a key ring, this key finder has an adhesive so you can attach it to just about any flat surface. Reviewers of the Tile Sticker love that you can stick this on smaller items such as AirPods, remotes and other important items that seem to always get lost. Just keep in mind that the battery is non-replaceable, though should last about three years, according to the brand.
