Just purchased an 8700....I have always used by phones as an alarm...problem is I kept getting awoken by message alerts and e-mail alerts last night...can someone please tell me in a simple way how to change the e-mail alerts and message alerts so they do not ring and vibrate....I need some sleep....THANKS!!!
Just make a profile that mutes everything except phone calls unless you don't even want calls, in which case, just edit one of the profiles that best suites your situation.
What I do is use the auto off feature to shut the phone down and then auto on for the time that I wake up. The sound of the messages downloading always wakes me up.
If you don't always get messages, subscribe to something like daily weather (weather underground is my favorite) and they'll send you a forecast overnight so something alerts when the device is on.
I believe the alarm will also wake the phone up out of auto off.
