Hello,
I have set the backlight setting to low, as brighter drains the battery.
However, when a call is incoming and I'm under the sunlight, I barely can see the screen, so I can't know who's calling me.
Using G-Profile I can set a profile with maximum backlight when Phone is active and is on foreground. This is good when I want to make a call, because as soon as I launch the dialer, G-Profile set the max-backlight profile. But I'm also using S2U, so this mean the phone is still in background when a call is incoming. Result: Backlight does not change.
On the other hand, if I uncheck "has to be in foreground" option in G-Profile, the backlight is always set to maximum, as Phone is *always* running in the background.
So,
Is there any way to set the backlight to maximum when a call is incoming, then revert to the previous setting after ending the call?
Thanks in advance.

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...
Dear all,
I'm new to Android phones, but i am q sure i set up the Tasker profile correctly...
So what i wish to achieve is:
For certain hours of the day,
Set volume ringer to 1
BUT for callers listed in my phone book,
Turn volume ringer to 6
i have read and tried tasker.wikidot.com/sleepmode and it does work nice, but i don't want my phone to be on Silent Mode because i am afraid there might be a chance that there's a legit call from someone not in my phonebook...
So when i replace the "Silent Mode" ON/OFF to "Ringer Volume" 1/6 (1 as the default sleep mode, 6 as the caller exception obviously) it does not work at all;
When there is a phonebook-listed caller calling in (i set caller number to C:ANY), i can hear for a second or two that the modified profile does increase the ringtone to level 6, but it will drop back down again to level 1 after that 1-2 second of ringing loud...
I do not have any other profile that fiddles with ring volume, just gestures for activating camera and cell tower location to turn wifi off...
I even tried running just a simple test:
1) set phone's ringing volume 1 by pressing the decrease volume side button on the phone body
2) turn off ALL Tasker profiles
3) create and activate the following tasker profile:
Event: Phone Ringing: (phone number left as blank)
Task: Ring Volume: 6
4) call in using another phone
5) it still gives the same result (1-2 seconds of loud ringtone, then back to the soft ring volume, and when i check afterwards, the phone's ringtone volume is 1, not 6)
I'm running Samsung Galaxy S II with stock Gingerbread (rooted of course)... and this is my first android... so i have no experience with trying this profile on other phones, or other versions of Android...
Can anyone help?
Thank you so much,
denny
This seems like the dumbest thing in the world. How come the phone will not vibrate for texts when set on the Vibration sound profile if you don't have it set to normally vibrate when the notification sound is set to normal?
I don't need it to vibrate when I get a notification sound, but if I set my phone to vibrate, I expect it to vibrate for every single damn notification/call/etc, regardless of what it's set to in the Normal sound profile. It should override all normal settings.
You're right. Its been a feature of AOSP since eclair. Wonder why HTC removed that option.
do you have the box checked in messaging settings to vibrate when messages are received?

no, as I said, when I have my sound on, I don't need it to vibrate. It just baffles me that this doesn't automatically come on when the phone is set to Vibrate.
