Silent Mode Bypass

NO LONGER MAINTAINED - With the advent of Android 5.0 Lollipop, which supports this kind of functionality out-of-the-box, this application won't be maintained anymore. Use at your own peril.

Silent Mode Bypass automatically disables Silent/Vibration mode when receiving calls and texts from selected contacts.

Mostly useful at night if you know you can receive important or emergency calls and texts from certain contacts, but want to keep everything else silenced.

HOW IT WORKS
• Start the app, and add one or more contacts to the Bypass list
• When your phone is in Silent or Vibration mode and you receive a call/SMS from one of the selected contacts, the app restores normal ringtone settings
• Enable and disable the Bypass at will
• Tap on a selected contact to remove it
• Minimal impact on battery life
• No ads

NOTES
• This app only works for phone calls and SMS messages; any other kind of notification or sound is not affected
• SMS support is EXPERIMENTAL
• When the app restores normal ringtone settings, you have to put the phone back to Silent/Vibration manually
