• LG Classic Flip

Does anyone know of a way to silence the ringer for specific callers on the classic flip?
I thought of a workaround, record a blank sound and set that as the ringer for that contact. But the problem is that I generally keep my phone on vibrate, and I want it to not even vibrate for those contacts. I don't want to block them. Just want to see their texts at my convenience. (Mass text lists etc.)

Try this: [Login to see the link]
This app can silence your contacts. I haven't tested it out much, I don't know if it will fix your vibration issue, let me know once you try.

Unfortunately, there are prerequisites. This app uses a few permissions, like contacts and calling. It also needs do not disturb access].

I was able to setup that permissions via [Login to see the link], but on a phone with the regular settings app, the Mute Contacts app just crashes. I think there is an ADB Command to allow it, (probably one that start with adb shell appops set), but I couldn't figure it out. It's possible that there is an app that can allow those permissions, I'll look into that.

Note: If you decide to install [Login to see the link], do it via ADB, the instructions in the linked post don't work for many people.

Also note: When you open the app, there is a very annoying, useless introduction. There is a skip button, which doesn't work 🙁. So, you'll have to sit there for two minutes and watch it.

    But based on that post I would have to install the settings mod on a clean install, which is not practical on a phone that I've been using for a while. I tried a different "mute contacts" app which didn't crash but it just didn't work even though I was able to enable permissions. Based on reviews of it on Google Play store, it's not surprising that it didn't work.

        mr-mayor I don't think the factory reset thing is true. Try installing with adb install -g -r lgsettings.apk

            Biden2020prez Sorry but I'm a beginner with this stuff. I've learned how to modify apk's for the classic and run basic commands on ADB, but that's all I know. Should I download the settings mod to the phone first, then run that command on ADB? I don't really understand all the instructions in the other thread. I'm using webadb as I could not figure out how to get adb working on my computer.
            Thanks

              Biden2020prez Thanks,
              I was able to get the setting app installed and now the app doesn't crash. But the app doesn't actually work. The only thing that works somewhat is if I click "mute all numbers except those in contact list" Then it mutes all calls, whether in contact list or not. Otherwise it doesn't do anything. If I select certain contacts to mute it doesn't work.

                        Atusb Welcome to tracfone. Wait for your phone to be unlocked and switch service providers.

                            Flippy Pic messaging is more unreliable with other carriers on the LG Classic

                                  chaimzalman Not more unreliable than not working at all....
                                  The other choice is keep hammering away at TracFone reps... If you call the
                                  Tracfone Executive Dept

                                  Sometimes you may have a slightly less horrible experience.

                                      Flippy thank you, but they give you same stuff and doesnt work
