Since the old Nokia days the ability to set profiles (i.e. sound levels and different ringtones) for different situations has been essential to me. I have previously used "Ear" (which still used to crash rather regularly) but I can't seem to find it on Playstore anymore. I now have a brand new Samsung Galaxy S5 on Android 5.0.2 (Lollipop?) and I have tried several profile manager apps but no matter what I try the 'phone just plays that annoying Samsung whistle when I get an SMS, even though I have never had that tone set for anything. 'Profile Scheduler' seemed good and all the settings showed as having been altered to the tones I selected, but when I got an SMS it still just played the whistle. I have been through all the in-app settings on all the apps to make sure they are overriding the 'phone and I have also been into the text messaging settings and set it to the default tone (i.e. whatever is set by the app) but nothing has worked. Please can someone offer some advice as this is starting to drive me crazy!
