Hi,
is there any app available that alows me to schedule a number of operations on my phone?
for example, I can set peak hours for push email on my phone, however this only allows for a single period. When I'm at work, I have my phone on silent as the constant beeping as emails are recieved would be annoying, but then this does mean that I might miss phone calls as I'm not always looking at my phone and don't see it light up. So having two periods of "push" activity would be useful.
Or, how about switching Push off if my phone is on silent. That way when I'm at work and am receiving emails on my PC, the TP isn't using the battery by also receiving emails?
anything like that out there that would let me set almost limitless options? switching other things on/off when the phone profile changes? or scheduling things to happen at more then 1 point in the day?
thanks
have a look at phone alarm (www.pocketmax.net). Allows you to schedule profile changes depending on time, location etc. Can also enable/disable push mail settings, wifi, bluetooth, sound volumes, ring tones, notifications etc for each profile.
You could have it setup so that whilst you are at work, push mail is deactivated, ringtones etc set to a mid level and a standard ring. When leaving work, push mail is enabled together with a change in the ring tone and volumes.
I think it allows you to set up 10 different profiles which can be switched manually, time based, or using location data (cell data or gps). It has a 15 day trial, so have a play andsee if it does what you want.
^^ looks similar to CommMgrPro but I don't think either will work if you're not on a GSM network. Any location based profile changer for CDMA phones? I guess I should really make a seperate thread for this.
Should work fine on non-gsm. If you can't schedule by cell tower id, here are your options:
1. set up a "work" profile. ..choose the items you want to be notified of - or not and how you want to be notified.
2. set the automated switching...that can be done by cell tower, ID, WiFi SSID, time,day or category status. Say you want the phone to ring between noon and one only and silent the rest of the work day...you can make that happen.
Say you don't want your phone to "harvest" e-mails until 5:15 pm - but not on Saturday or Sunday - you can make that happen.
Say you want the phone's alarms and sound to be loud when you drive in the car, but with a bright backlight during daylight driving and a dim backlight during nightime driving...phoneAlarm will do it.
that you manually switch to in the office. You can mute all the calls, alarms, message notifications - or just some. Soft sounds, no sounds vibrate...

I'm sure there is something out there that does this, but I can't seem to find it. Here's my situation. I turn my phone on silent every night before bed. I do this so that texts and email notifications don't wake me up. However, I would like calls to come through for emergency reasons and also for the alarm to be able to sound if set. When I wake up, I turn my phone back on vibrate so that I am alerted when I get new messages. Right now I'm just sleeping with it all on silent and hoping I don't need it. When I absolutely need the alarm, I have to mess with the settings to turn off email and text alerts. This seems too much to just turn off text & email alerts though. Is there any way I can save settings into a profile and just change profiles. One would be Night mode (calls & alarm on, notifications off) and Day mode (all on). Thanks for the help
I have a HTC Touch Pro by the way.
if i'm not mistaken you can use PhoneAlarm to set profiles for seperate services.
Hi guys,
I need your help. Im using a Asus p750 running wm 6.1. It seems that the phone dosent care to what profile im using. If i have phone on "silent" without ring signal or vibra still the phone rings at a incoming call. Same on all profiles i use. Always a ring signal!!! Total newbie so hoping for a easy fix. Maybe you expers have any ideas?
I have tryed to use SPB phone suite, same problems with thoose profiles. Phone dosent seem to care what profile i shoose to use.
Cheers.

Are you sure you are turning down the ring volume and not just the system.
Thnx for you answer Joel.
I set profile by Settings - Profile - Silent/Meeting etc. If i shoose Silent (Volume:Off Vibrate:Off) and i go back to the homescreen i notice a speaker icon with a X next to it. So i guess i have shoosen correct to get a silent incoming call? Dosent happen though, phone screams like a pig when i get a incoming call. Im i doing something wrong?
tap the speaker icon in the bar and you should get a pop up with two sliders, one for system sound, one for ringer, turn the ringer all the way down and try it again.
Both ringer and System sound are set to lowest and OFF. Still a ringsignal when a incoming call. Was just in a meeting where i bragged about the meeting sceduler that sets phone to meeting profile by auto. Ye right i had 3 incoming calls disturbing that meeting. Argh.
Ahh im using Inesoft Phone Suite and that stupid software uses its profiler and it seems to override all other profilers. Great, now i know what the error is... to bad you cant disable just the profiler... good software othervise..
Ver 5 let's you turn off the Profiler.... but... it doesn't actually turn off... whatever Inesoft profile it was set to when you disable the profiler remains active...
Really annoying... and their support seems non-existent...
I don't have a land line & leave my phone charging on my headboard at night. My wife has gotten really ticked at it vibrating & making noise whenever it gets an E-mail in the middle of the night.
Is there an easy way to mute everything but the normal phone ringer (still want to get calls in the middle of the night if they come in)? I don't want to mute the phone entirely, as I could miss emergency calls. I'd love to have it quiet everything at a certain time, or at the push of a button, or by running an app or something easy.
The wife is currently threatening to fling my phone out the window if it wakes her up again, & I don't want to disable the sound/vibrate entirely as it wouldn't be effective during the day.

a couple options...
Change Activesync to use off-peak times and set email delivery as manual so that you have to tell it to check for mail during off-peak times. Then you will only get sounds emergency calls, drunk dials, emergency texts, and drunk texts in the middle of the night. This also assumes you don't have any reminders set to sound at midnight...
Use a profile app like G-Profile or PhoneAlarm to control advanced automatic switching of profiles/sounds/notifications based on time of day and day of week or other advanced switching options.
the version of htc volume overlay i have lets me turn the volume down on system all the way while keeping the ringer one up.
I use my phone as my alarm clock. I keep it chargeing on my bedside table. I do not have a house/landline so this is my only option for communication.
It would be nice if at night, when I'm sleeping, i can set my phone (via app or setting) to a "do not disturb" type state.
In this state, i would basically like all phone calls routed to a special voice mail, that will state to the caller that i am unavailable, and to leave a message. However if it is an emergency, give the caller an option to bypass the do not disturb state and actually ring my phone.
Same with Text Messages. I would like all text messages intercepted, and responded to via text in the same fashion, with the same option for the caller to bypass the do not disturb state and actually ring/notify me of the call/text etc.
And of course, put all other notifications to silent mode etc.
Then in the morning, i can check all notifications, phone, text etc, and see what i missed.
I hope i explained this well enough.
I would like to be able to sleep without interruption, but if something important happens, or an emergency happens, i can still be gotten a hold of.
there is an app called silent time lite that I use, it wont route your calls or anything, but between the times you states the phone will go into silent mode (vibrate or not, you decide) you can also have exceptions like if your mother calls at 3 am or something. Its free in the market, i use this app for school, put my schedule in there and it automatically muted my phone for classes

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hmm, exceptions for contacts eh? Might be the next best thing if i cant find, or someone create an app that'll do the other stuff.
Thanks for the suggestion, ill look into it.
uh... How about... AIRPLANE MODE
I like the stshannon's idea : this kind of "filter" people can "bypass" only for emmergency...I've been loking for that for long time !
@nopenope : the aireplaine mode doesn't allow this kind of redirection I think...
timerriffic is awesome and free. once you've got your profiles all setup you can set what goes off, volume, vibrate etc... I use it to turn off notifications at night but ring my phone at 100% when I'm "on call" for work or 40% when i'm not.
different day settings too, m-f and weekends.
coming from a BB, my cell is all i use, is there a way at night i can shut off all sound notifications except the phone itself? i dont want to be woken up all the time with emails coming in, and or texts..
is there an option? or an app? widget?
thanks!
The best suggestion I can make is a app called Setting Profiles. The Light version only allows for one profile while paid version allows for more.
One can make profiles based on location, time, calendar events, etc. I use it to silence my phone when I have meetings indicated on my calendar.
Two more apps are PhoneWeaver (auto and manual switching) and Quick Profiles (manual switching only).
One more app you can check out with auto changing of sound profiles is Sound Manager. Works very well.
