Does anyone know of an app for PPC that will make configuration changes at set times?
I'd love to be able to program the phone to switch to silent for either a specific interval, or on a daily schedule. For example, if I'm going to the cinema, I want to set it to switch to silent for the next 2 1/2 hrs, and then switch back to normal volume and notify me if I missed anything. I'd also like to be able to program the same on a daily schedule (e.g., switch to silent between 11pm and 7am).
Any ideas, anyone?
i think pocket zen phone will do what you need.

PhoneAlarm works very well as well.

Using WM6 Pocket Outlook with our Exchange Server. I want my phone to alert me when I get a new email, but not alert me at night.
Pocket Outlook + Exchange lets you specify how often to check for messages normally and during peak hours. I've set the peak hours to daytime and set it to only manually check off hours.
Aside from that or turning off my phone, any suggestions?
I believe you can configure different alerts using PhoneAlarm, but I'm not 100% sure.
Phone alarm works and so does SPB Mobile Suite. I use mobile suite for some of the other features, but it allows me to create profiles, accessible from the today screen, that control all sounds from the device.
I work nights and sleep during the day, so I have one profile called Bed that keeps the ring volume at 80%, implements a whitelist (meaning only peoples numbers on the list will cause the phone to ring), and turns off email,sms and MMS notifications. Then, when I get up, I just click my profile Icon on the Today screen and select another profile, which again can change all notifications etc. You can also have it turn on or off wifi, bluetooth, phone, etc, when a profile changes. An awesome app. Note: PhoneAlarm does all of this and more, so download the trials and see which one works best for you.
Check it out here.

I bet you will end up with one of these, they are awesome.
Just remembered that I think, Phonealarm didn't allow the whitelist/blacklist feature that I wanted and that was my final reason for picking SPB phonesuite.
Hope this helps

Hi all.
I hope I didn't miss something while searhing, but here goes.
I'm looking for a time based profile manager, I know of G-Profile and it's not exactly what I'm looking for. While it does change profile by time, it needs to be setup differently for each need.
I need to be able to set my profiles for an X-amount of time say 3hrs 20 mins and then switch back to "normal" again, alternatevly, being able to swiftly set "mute" or "silent" until specified time, say 15:00 hours and then going back to "normal"
The reason being, if I go into a meeting, I know approx how long it will be, but I always forget returning from "silent" resulting in missed calles. Also, I want it to be on silent when I go to bed but need it to see what SMS came through the night and then by morning, automatically set it to "normal" again.
This is made difficult by the fact that I work shifts and need the phone to be silent at different times every day, making it hard to use G-Profile. (unless I totally overseen a setting in it)
I was wondering if any of you guys know of a program/application that easily can do what I need.
I think you mean G-profile.
And for putting it to silent/vibrate during meetings, I just rely on TF3D's sound settings where it can be silent/vibrate during appointments. I sync my calendar with Google and my outlook so anytime I am busy, phone is in vibration mode.
Phone Alarm - is not free tho.

Yes, of course I meant G-Profile.. Sorry..
Yup, that would have done the trick, if I had the same shedule at all time. If it is to do its trick for me now, I would need to make an appointment of my sleep.. And that's taking it a bit far, I think...
But thanks for your reply.

Any more suggestions out there?
Hello,
I am searching for a way to automatically set vibration from 8am to 5pm (during work).
Like the sense option to automatically set to vibrate during appointment but without having to set an appointment for work everyday, it would look to confusing.
Do you have any ideas?

There's an app called Mute4 that will set your phone to vibrate for up to 3 h; maybe you could ask the developer to increase the mute time to 9 h, or have it adjustable. Otherwise, you can definitely do it with SK Schema.
I used to have a program on my old blueangel that used to allow me to change ring tones etc according to which cell tower i was in, I think it also had a time based scheduler)
Give me a couple of days and I will try to find it.
The downside was that it sucked the battery (back in the wm2003 days)

This could be what you are looking for

You can change profile based on time and (in paid for version) location
Sorry if this has already been asked but is there a way to disable or mute notifications between certain times? Or at least email? This way the phone doesnt go off when I am asleep.
I use Sound Manager. Gives you the option to set the volume levels for media, system, notifications, etc and to set schedules for any of these. I use it to set my notification volume down low after 2:00am and to come back up to high volume around 8:00am and so far has worked just fine.
Tasker works great for this
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Tasker probably can do that but its a ready complicated learning curve imo
Tasker rocks..definitely worth it...
I have the same thing..here is how to set it up in Tasker...
From 23:00 Til 07:00
Silent Mode On
That's it...
I also have it setup for an exception that if one of two people call me from work then it overrides and rings...
I have done a ton of stuff with Tasker -- like turning phone to vibrate during meetings, turning on gps automatically when I run certain programs (and then turn it off again when I close them), Play a sound when the plug becomes disconnected while charging, change the screen turnoff time when phone is charging, etc..
If you can't tell I love it.
Another plug for Tasker. It is awesome. The MacGyver part of my signature is brought to you in part by Tasker. And the letter A, for Awesome.
If Tasker seems hard to get into, check out their site for info: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/
A really nice use I have for it is automatically adjusting my screen brightness when plugged/unplugged.

Tasker does have a bit of a learning curve and if it's just simply turning off notifications, there are probably simpler solutions. But I love Tasker to bits. I have it set so between my usual bedtime hours, the phone goes silent, Screen Filter activates and dims it way down and Orientation turns off so I can lay down and read without it turning into landscape. I seem to always be finding new things to add and tinker.
Also recently added a function where the screen timeout goes away when Maps is activated. Got tired of losing the lock because it takes so darn long to get it back!
I use Volume Toggle - it is free (ad supported) and it has a bunch of different profiles you can customize.
It has a companion program "Volume Timer" (also free) that lets you set days and times for each profile.
I used to use Sound Manager but it decided to stop working, even after re-installing it still decided to quit after using it awhile.
I now use AudioGuru, it works great for scheduling volume settings for anything on your phone (System, Alarm, Ringer, Notifications, etc). Very easy to use and hasn't failed me yet. Recommended.
I use Silent Time Lite. It is free from the App Store and is very simple to use.
Sweet Dreams is available on the market and works great. Easy to use.
Thanks all, Tasker looks like it rocks. I will get it loaded. I like the "if bluetooth connected then read outloud the text messages", this way whenever I am in my car, it will read the tm! thats sweet.
Smartphone 2 new owner here.
I am trying to find out if there is a Night Mode for the SW2? I often spend nights away from home on business. I need to look at my watch during the night sometimes to check if it's time to catch an early flight. Is there anyway to switch on a Night Mode that stops the watch vibrating and stops the screen automatically lighting up with notifications?
I know I can turn off vibrate and bluetooth manually, but then I don't get notifications stored, and I have to remember to turn them back on when I want normal operation.
It would be nice to have Alarm notifications operate normally (light and vibrate), whilst other notifications come through, but don't light ot vibrate.
Anyone have any suggestions please?
Disable Bluetooth on the smartphone, it's easier.
You can set also a scheduled profile on the phone that at night turns off the Bluetooth and at morning turns it on.

Many thanks TMI. The simplest solutions are often the best
One more question please... Do I need an app for schedulng this (Blocking Mode doesn't seem to control Bluetooth). And, if so, does anyone recommend a simple app for scheduling bluetooth on/off?
Thank you.
There are many free profile scheduling apps on the Play Store
