Is there a built in facility to activate Silent Hours/Quiet Time in stock Android or MIUI JBL 11?
I do not want an app to do this but want to know if there is an inbuilt option to do the same.

When I was running stock Jelly Bean on my S3, it had a section in the settings for quite time. I still preferred the Silent Time app (I know you said you didn't want an app, but just in case you change your mind, this is a great one) because I can set up a schedule.
For example, I have a Business Networking meeting (BNI) every Thursday morning from 7AM - 830AM. I would usually remember to silence my phone for the meeting, but very often I'd forget to turn the ringer back on and clients couldn't get hold of me. With Silent Time, I set it for every Thursday morning to shut everything off from 7AM - 830AM and then it turns everything back on so I don't have to remember. It's great!
It also has a widget to quickly silence your phone for a set length of time, such as when you're in a meeting or a movie, and then it turns itself back on.
I wouldn't reject an app, as it's very powerful and much better than the built-in ones that I've experienced.

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.

Free is prefered. Thanks!
Any more suggestions out there?
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

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.
I just moved to the Maxx from a GNex that I've been using Carbon Rom (and Liquid before that). These Roms had settings built in that allowed me to mute sounds other than the phone on a schedule. Is this somewhere in the settings I haven't found or do we need to use something like Silent Hours from the Play store?
If we need to use a 3rd party solution, is there something better than Silent Hours?

Check out "Assist," which comes pre-installed in the app drawer. It has a sleep mode that mutes everything, but there are options to allow calls from favorites and/or anybody who calls twice within five minutes.

Totally agree on checking out Moto Assist already on your phone but I am still using Tasker for this and it is working great as always!
Can you point me in the right direction to set up Tasker without learning some wild mix of Cobol and Fortran ?
The issue I have with Assist is that callers need to call twice or be marked as a favorite. I'd like ALL calls to come through but leave everything else silent at night.

Llama can do that, and it's a lot easier to set up than Tasker. After yo install it, change the Quiet profile to have a normal volume ringtone and a zero volume notification tone (Llama will try to protest that post-ICS that these volumes are linked, but you can tell it to set the volumes normally, as we all know they are discrete on the Maxx), and then go to the Events tab and adjust the timing of the Quiet at night event to how you want it to be (for timing; you an also delete the home condition if you like.)

Here is my tasker profiles and task that I've been tweaking for quite a few years now. It turns on if you are charging by either AC outlet or wireless and turns off if any call comes in, cancel it via the notification or take if off charging. It auto turns back on if still charging and the call has ended.
I find this method better as opposed to time based silent mode, as the weekend my sleep pattern is a little bit later compared to the work week. Enjoy! :victory:

Thanks for sharing! I've just loaded your profiles and task into Tasker... without Cobol nor Fortran!
I'll try this over the next few days and see how this works.

Not a problem! Let me know what you think or if you have any questions about them.
Hey all! I just got the S3 Frontier a few days ago and I love it! Just one complaint:
The other night I had my watch on while I was sleeping. As always, I put my phone on complete silence. However, while I was sleeping, I was woken up a few times by my watch vibrating.
It's kinda silly that I would have to silence the watch, too (in my opinion). Is there any way to "link" the two? I also want my watch to vibrate even when completely off by means of my cell phone's alarm time, even if I have the watch and phone on silent. Is there a way to "link" the two? My phone is a rooted Google Pixel if it matters.
Thanks in advance!

I kind of agree it would be nice if I'm in some setting (doc's office, etc) where I want to silence my phone I have to remember to also put the watch into do-not-disturb.
This is what's missing, and really needed. But there's no way to do it.

Wow, that's crazy! What an oversight! Thanks for the reply though!
Hate revive an old thread, but this does my head in.
I've got a gear s3 classic, I think it makes absolutely no sense for it to no sync the notification volume etc..
Has anyone found a workaround?
#boosamsung
I agree. With Android Wear when You put watch into "do not disturb" phone also switches the same.
I've also noticed that there is no any watchface that shows battery level from phone and watch at the same time..
I like Tizen, but in some cases Android Wear was better. The second is more integrated with phone.
You can set the time for auto do not disturb on the watch. I have mine set from 10:30 until 6:30. The watch doesn't vibrate or notfy me.
Located on watch under Do Not Disturb: set schedule.
You can set different times for different days of the week.
Other way around, just use Tasker to add task like: if phone in silent state, disable bluetooth (to stop connection with gear s3) and exit task is reverse to turn on bluetooth in which reconnect gear s3 automatically
I to wish they would just add a feature to the Gear app for, "Silent Mode Syncing"!
I would think that it would be easy to add such a simple feature compared to all the Samsung Health stuff that they can sync between the Gear and the connected smartphone. But sheesh, guess it's never easy...

Now does this after update to 4.0?
I think in the latest update for the gear (4.0) it now does this by default! Last night after the update I put my phone on silent. The next morning I had a few missed calls that usually woke me up due to the watch vibration.
Can anyone confirm?
I couldn't find a detailed list of new features for the latest update to check.

How are you putting your phone on silent, Do Not Disturb or using the volume? I have Do Not Disturb set to automatically enable on my phone every night but I still get notifications on my watch. I haven't tried it by pressing the volume key and cycling through Ring, Vibrate and Silent though.
Hello happy Fitbit People!
So, a common problem people have is that they dont want to keep their fitbit on an all day sync schedule and drain the battery that much faster. I also wanted to automate the advantages of the Fitbit to do certain things based on a certain time.
You can do this NOW! You dont have to wait for Fitbit to hear your cries for an independent sync schedule.
You will need the following...
1. Phone (duh) - rooted helps (a lot) but not a complete deal breaker
2. Install and Load Macrodroid
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arlosoft.macrodroid&hl=en_US
3. Configure Macrodroid as noted. I have attached an image of how I have mine set up......
4. Install IFTTT and send an alert when I have enough sleep logged.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ifttt.ifttt&hl=en_US
5. Profit!!!
Turn off 'all day sync' on your Fitbit app, but leave on 'always connected'.
I have it set to NOT sync until the screen turns off so I dont have the annoying Fitbit app pop up (and I HATE that Fitbit puts 'ads' in the app for whatever new device they have.. .I mean c'mon! I already have your device cuz I am using the app! Why are you pushing more ads on me!!!!)
So it back spaces twice to ensure no ads are left on the screen when I turn it back on.
Mine will sync every 2 hours or so... but only during my normal 'wake cycle'. It will also toggle the Bluetooth in case I had lost a connection during that time (like if I leave my phone home when I go to the gym). It will also note when I wake up in the morning and if it is during a weekday it will send a good morning text to all my friends that I keep in touch with. I have the voice notifications because it strangely wakes me up right before my alarm goes off and because I dig knowing it is working.... You don't have to use them.
I also use white noise apps on my devices when I sleep so this process kills all of them so that I will hear my alarm (and dont have to bother turning them all off)
I am getting 5 days or so battery life and keeping good connectivity with my Note 3 running a Nougat ROM.
**** I take no credit for the apps I am using, nor am I a developer.. I take no responsibility for any changes or loss of data or if you miss that phone call for a job interview!!! ****
