swith from silent mode to normal mode while ringing

[holymoz]

hi all, I have a problem, I want the phone always in silent mode but when I receive a specific call the phone must turn in normal mode and ring.
so I put manually in silent mode and create the flow (incoming call etc..) the problem is that when the call arrive the phone doesn't ring even if the flow turn it to normal mode, seems that the phone continue to ring in the previous mode (silent) even if it's turned to normal, thanks

You might need to raise the audio volume in the flow to a defined level, only setting the ringer mode to normal may not be enough in some cases.
Please check the attached flow:

If it's only a one or even a few numbers you want the phone to ring, instead of changing ringer mode use the sound action.

I haven't tested this myself but from what I've read,I believe that changing ringer mode from RING to SILENT/VIBRATE in the middle of phone ringing works but not the other way around.

raising the audio stream volume doesn't work.

@murtuma: yes I try to use a play sound action and works, but I'm unable to stop the sound answering the call, only by notification.

turning normal to silent while ringing works but silent to normal not, strange thing

Create a new flow which triggers when you answer the call and use STOP SOUND ACTION. That should do the trick.

sorry I can't find a trigger for an answering call, I tried with start activity/telephone/callanswering but doesn't work, there should be a call answer option in trigger incoming call but there isn't, (only ringing, offhook and endcall)

[MURTUMA]

Offhook basically means that you're connected to recipient. So, INCOMING CALL(offhook) is your trigger here.

hey it works! thank you very much, I was wondering what's the meaning of offhook
