Hi guys,
I was wondering if there is any freeware software with an "automatic profile switching" feature. I have different appointment category and depending on the category should switch to different profile..
I've been using phoneAlarm, but the program is quite heavy.
Now I've an Htc Touch Pro and I thought HTC Home would have done the job, but it's switching to Vibrate whenever appointment I have.
If you guys have any hints on the software to use
'njoy and thanks in advance

Can anyone suggest some good profle software? i.e. to hold profiles of ring tone, ring volume etc for easy switching. Ideally, with either automated switching, or integration with the calendar app.. i.e. so that the phone will automatically go dead silent during a certain appointment if set, and will then return to previous settings when that appointment is over.
By automated I meant for example on monday, the hours of 10am-2pm, be on a certain profile, sometinhg along those lines.
Any suggestions please?
If I'm asking too much can anyone suggest any good profiling programs (preferably with today plugins)
Many thanks!
I use pocketzenphone.
Also phonealarm is a good one.
Here's what Pocket Zen Phone looks like on your PDA

Not going to argue about this again with TheBrit, but I've always used PhoneAlarm. I suggest you try both PA and PZP if you're not using WM5.
PhoneAlarm can be assigned to a hardware key so you can switch profiles quickly with a shortcut or a hardware key.
For instance, I use phonealarm skinned and mapped to the top of my screen here:
and then have an additional bank of claunch icons hidden away to switch profile by thumb as required. Forgive the crude icons, it's an old pic.:

Simple request
Does anybody know of a simple utility that can incorporate Tasks into Pocket Outlook. Tasks then will be intergrated into the calander and will use the appointment screen to set a task. Also this utility should manage to display a full weeks appointments and task in sequence - not seperated.
Thanks in anticipation

There's a free today screen plugin that shows combined tasks and appointments...
http://tiews.info/index.php?show=software/todayagenda
I've given up on it for now but it seemed to work ok. Not as advanced as other plugins like PocketBreeze but much lower overhead associated with using it.
Have reverted back to standard plugins even though they are pretty pathetic since the plugin didn't seem to cope with orientation switching too well - an annoyance when using it with a device with a slide out landscape keyboard.
PocketBreeze for Me!!
I can't comment on TodayAgenda, as I've never tried it. I found it on these forums after purchasing PocketBreeze. But, from everything I've read about it on that thread, it's a very good program.
However, I WILL say that I LOVE PocketBreeze, and it would be virtually impossible (IMO) to find anything that even comes close. It does exactly what the OP wanted, plus more. It's the only plugin I use on my Today Screen, and it allows for Custom tabs to be set for other plugins, as well. So, I have iLauncher, Pocket Weather and Spb Time integrated into PB as custom tabs and from that can access virtually everything on my Wizard from the Today Screen through Pocket Breeze.
There's a 14 day free trial period, but I was sold on it after only 3 days and bought it. Others may have different views, but for me -- it's the BEST!!
I've use both todayAgenda and pocketbreeze. For the price of todayAgenda, there isnt really much to 'complain' about, other than the fact that, it doesn't display tomorrow as 'Tomorrow', which is quite annoying (that it lowered the importances of the task/schedule).
Anyway, I'm using pBreeze now and no complain so far. It is highly customizable which others may find annoying, but if you want to have full control on your display, go for it. I so wish I get commission for selling this software
Check new todayAgenda 0.95 beta and check spbDiary with better phone contacts handling (hardware keyboard) than pocketBreeze.
Thanks everybody.
TodayAgenda works well for me. Exactly what I wanted.

I've used a Windows Mobile for smartphones on a Blackjack and Blackjack II and one thing that I really liked was how they had around sound profiles where you can set each profile at multiple volume levels and then easily switch between them.
I know that there are some "profiles" in TF3D but it doesn't seem to be a default WM option like it was on the BJ and BJII. Am I missing something? How do you change your profiles?
I liked the simple interface that the smartphone edition had and thought the PPC version would be similar.
BTW: I have searched the forums but haven't come up with much.
Did you ever get it?
Hi folks,
I searched an hour and couldn't find anything: I want to be able to (easily) switch the today screen calendar to:
A) only show private meetings
B) show all meetings
The Nokia N70 does this nicely but I couldn't find any WM software to do the trick. I own a Nike with WM 6.1 btw.
The reason for my request is, that on weekens I would like to be spared with being reminded of meetings next week at the office - improving my work-life-balance ;-)
Anyone know of a solution?
Thanks & Best regards,

This is a wonderful option to be implemented into poutlook. I know you can filter your appointments by categories rather than by status.. so i assume that if you're willing to accept this it would not be that hard to write a quick script which switches between filters.
do you think that would be enough?
not sure - I would assume that the filter is not applied to the today screen, or is it? Also I use categories for other things already... But maybe I just got you wrong ;-)
Well, i assume that to filter to the today screen you'd need a seperate application... but i'm not sure.
The windows today plugin is indeed very basic with only few to no options.
You'll need a separate today plugin like SPB Diary or WebIS Pocket Informant.
I'm sure there are lits more.
Hi,
I came from the TP2 WinMo world. I miss PhoneAlarm. It was an all-in-one place where all relevant information was shown in a skinnable interface, it could be a simple toolbar or take over the entire screen.
Does anyone know any applications like that for Android.
The PhoneAlarm website is:

Thanks in advance.
I've used Phone Alarm a lot using my TP2. But more so only for the fact it has auto profiles so I didn't have to worry about putting my phone to silent when work started and when it ended.
I don't know a complete replacement that you can skin.
But if your just looking for the auto profiling (controlling - wifi, brightness,notifcations etc)
I use Timeriffic, free in the Market
