Profile Manager Round Up

Okay, I'm after a program that will manage profiles for me. When I go to work, I switch it to work and the phone goes into a silent more (vibrate) checks e-mail every 15 minutes and gives me reminders of sms, missed calls etc.
I plug my HD into the car and it puts the sound back on, I don't get reminders, just the initial message, Bluetooth comes on and connects to my car kit.
I get home, BT turns off, WiFi comes on and reminders come back.
There seems to be quite a lot of different options out there, so I propose to make this the definative thread on the matter. Please post what software you have used, provide a link, give the price (if applicable) and a short 'review'. I will edit into this post everyone's findings and it can then be used as a reference to all those that come along asking. Sound good?
So, I've used -
pocketMax - phoneAlarm - €14.50 (Lite version - £13)

Pro's - Very powerful, options to set almost everything thinkable in your profile..
Con's - Not the best UI. Today screen friendly (not so good for TF3D).
Phone Weaver - $14.95 (£10.27)
Pro's - Pretty good control. Nice UI. Can change profiles through an icon.
Con's - Setting profiles can be confusing. (How do I have vibrate, but with reminders?) No location based profile switching.
To come...
CellProfileSwitcher - FREE
SPB Phone Suite - $19.95 (£13.70)
Pro's - Reasonably flexible. Very nice interface.
Con's - Requires a today screen. No location based profile switching.
Location Profile Mobile - FREE
Far too early days. Very basic at present.

I haven't tested rk Sleep yet.

See this post for information on this product.

PocketZenPhone

And maybe this one too?

No one with any experiences they wish to add?

I've tried most of the above and am currently using SPB PhoneSuite, as much because it integrates with Mobile Shell as anything.
I would agree that PhoneAlarms interface leaves lots to be desired and PhoneWeaver is just bewildering.
What is missing from PhoneSuite is the ability to change ring tones/notifications on a profile by profile basis. All you have control over is the volume and vibrate function. I am a member of the SPB forum and this is a currently outstanding feature request

Does anyone know if there are any more options out there?

Hello. Here is what I am looking for. So far I am very frustrated with my HTC FUZE with this one feature.
I would like to have more control of the phone profile options like I used to have on my Blackberry phones. Basically I want to be able to make set custom profiles as I want them.
For example. With my old phones I was able to use an "advanced" feature in the phone profile section to create what I called a "Night" setting. When this setting was activated the entire phone was on silent (texts, emails, etc, everything was silent) EXCEPT the phone. The phone would ring if I received a call. So it was basically a "phone only" setting. This was perfect at night because I would only receive a call if it was a real emergency.
I KNOW that I can go into the Sounds and Notifications settings and turn everything off except the phone, but I have to do that manually and if I change phone settings everything goes back and I have to again manually do what I want.
I HAVE tried the Inesoft program and the spb phone suite. both have profiles built into them, but no way to do what I mention above with my "night" setting.
DeeDee, I am also using MobileShell and currently spb phone suite, but as mentioned above it does not allow me to set up custom profiles the way I want to.
I look forward to any feedback anyone might have. Thanks!

In PhoneSuite there is the option to edit notification type, set this to "Off". Should work, it does for me, just tested it.

can you post a pic of where this option/command is because I can not find what you are speaking of. Thanks!

OK, it may be a version thing, not sure which version you have, mine is 1.3.0 Build 1559.

that is the same build I am using, but the setting image you posted still makes you receive either the sound or vibration you have set up for text messages, emails, etc. You have to still manually go to Sounds and Notifications and manually turn off the sounds/vibrate for those features. And once you chance back to another profile, those settings all reset and you have to manually adjust them again the next time you want to use your custom profile.
I think my point is that there is no way to make a set profile the way you want. I wish you could just do this
Phone - vibrate and ring
email - off, or no notification
text - off, or no notification
sms - off, or no notification
calendar - off, or no notification
something like that.

Weird, I have just retested the settings as in the screen shot and while the phone rings, and I can hear the ring tone, an email is delivered in silence. Not tested SMS yet but I can't see why it would be different.

right, it WILL work if you set everything in the sounds and notifications settings as I described. BUT when you switch profiles in phone suite during the day (in my example I was setting up a night setting) and then go back to the Custom one, all of the sounds and notification settings have reset. you then have to go through all of them again and uncheck vibrate or sound. You can not set the custom profile so it SAVES all of the phone settings for repeated use. The next time you have to set it all up again. does that make sense.
I just tested on my fuze and exactly what I describe above happened. it worked as i wanted, but when i switched profiles, and then tried to switch back to the custom one, I was forced to reset the sounds and notification settings for each thing. that makes no sense and takes to much time.

phoneAlarm will do all this for you. It has by far the mosy options. You can even change how often e-mail is checked in each profile.

I will check it out now. thank you for the feedback.

I would add, the best way to run it is -
Turn off TF3D in Today settings. Add just pA. Go to pA options and enable TouchFlo mode. Reset the device. When it comes back up, it will load phoneAlarm and all you need do is press the left softkey labelled 'Manilla' to load TF3D with pA running in the back ground.
Then, make a file in your start menu -> programs that points to "\windows\paWakeup.exe" -pm. Call it something like Profiles.lnk and then add that to your programs tab on TF3D. Now when you tap that, you can manually select a profile.
It now seems to run with very little impact on phone performance.

Andy
I do not use TF3D. I use spb Mobile Shell. Do you have any idea how this program will work with that application.

Hmm, you can probably get it to work in a similar manner as I explained above, but set the left soft key to run mobile shell instead? The link for profile changing I would think will work the same...?

Andy, I have installed the program, but am a bit lost. Not sure how to use the features with Mobbile Shell

Have you read the bit I posted about making a profile.lnk?
Set up your profiles, press your link to change them. You can also use automatic switching...

Added uninstall protection. The engine is in test stage so feel free to report problems.

It does not recognize sms commands, phone just acting like receiving ordinary message. I have GO Sms pro installed, maybe that's the reason...

Hello Sir,
Please read the documentation and watch the introductory video to understant how the system works.
Android os dont allow the devs to overwrite the home key so yes any time you press the home key will get you to the home screen ( this happens with all the security apps in the android market ) but anti theft control has a smart engine to not allow you to navigate anywhere else. For example you press home key and the lock screen disappears for 3 seconds if you try fast to open anything between these 3 seconds it will not let you and will popup faster the lock screen. The phone is totally unusable even with the ability to hide the lock screen for 3 seconds. Thats the reason there is the uninstall protection and the Administrator rights for the app so even if you are able to hide the screen for 3 seconds (until pop ups again) you cant close services or uninstall anything.
hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Oneo Solutions

Thanks my reply. This is accually great app and im sattisfied with it. Few smaller issues but other than that great.
It would be great if you could create SMS command to send GPS location when you send that GPS command. Not only when you lock your phone.
Thanks.

Hi there
After last update, the phone locked by itself,now I can move just between sms (double click on home screen) and AntiTheftControl lock screen
Is there any way to temporary disable software or bypass this screen ?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hello and thank you for your attention. I will not release the apk to the forums but its so easy to install it from the market what's the problem?

The brand New Engine "Perimeter Security Zone". Now you can set a perimeter zone from your location (center point) and when this perimeter is bridged the phone will take immediate action. With this way you can secure that your phone is in the place you left it.

2013 Release is out! Happy New Year guys

We really dont know. We never got a reply from google about the removal. however the app is again available on the Play Store with some changes.

what happens if someone steal it and want to restore the factory settings or perhaps go to recovery

If he goes to recovery you can't help it.. Password protecting download/recovery mode isn't supported atm..

Seems nice, I might try it on my S3 but I would like to see a few questions answered first
You can send a SMS command to the phone without locking it down? The purpose is to get as much as GPS positions first without the robber knowing. The program sends the new SIM card info (number) to a predefined number? :good:
btw, if I don't like the app, disabling Administration Rights option and uninstall protection option and uninstalling it normally (as I would do with any app) will remove it as if it was never on the phone?

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to share a new app - Smart N' Loud
This application enables the user to customize incoming call preferences for a specific contact, and keep yourself available to certain people even if the phone is on silent mode.
The options starts from ringing each time the contact calls and ends with config it smarter, counting number of calls in time range, for example:
Make the phone ring if the contact called you twice in 15 minutes

You can also search YouTube for the application and see what it does!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQk7JLFojI4&feature=youtu.be
Please try it out, and write your comments!
Thanks, Eyal

A new update is available at the play store.
Up to 3 contacts - FREE!

Hi!
i have a question - in Galaxy phones - they have "blocking mode"...
so whats the difference between this "blocking mode" and your app?
it seems like it does the same!

That's a good question!
I'm familiar with this "blocking mode", which allows to define "white list" and "black list"...
It is similar to my app, but still, there are few differences:
1. in my app those who are not defined in the "white list" are not blocked, the phone just won't ring.
2. in my app you can define that the phone would ring if a contact called you several times (you decide how many) in a period of time (you decide how long).
3. by clicking a button, you can choose whether to activate the "white list" or not. the app will detect a switch to silent/vibrate mode and asks you what to do...
I hope this is satisfying...

[TASKER][PROJECT] Local Voicemail “Answer Machine”

THREAD INDEX:
I. INTRODUCTION
II. EXPLANATION - WHAT DOES THE PROFILE DO?
III. TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
IV. INSTALLATION GUIDE
V. FAQ
VI. THINGS TO DO IN THE FUTURE
Second Post. CHANGELOG
#_____________________________#​
I. INTRODUCTION
I am a fan of Tasker as it offers lot of possibilities and makes life better [emoji14]
I learned how to use Tasker basically from myself but @Rsroms gave me the basic knowledge to use this awesome app!
If you are new to Tasker and you wanna learn how to get started i reccomend @brandall Guide (Link to the thread: [TUT] The Ultimate Noob/Beginners Guide to Tasker )… you will learn how to make basic profiles or even intermediate profiles.
However i have created this thread to show off and explain one of my profiles… this one is called “Answer Machine” and it is a “local” implementation of VoiceMail in Tasker. I hope you find this thread useful !
II. EXPLANATION - WHAT DOES THIS PROFILE DO?
It’s simple. If a call is not being answered in about 15 seconds (or what you want) i suppose you are not near to the Smartphone so Tasker will automatically answer and play a pre-recorded voice saying for example:
“Record your voice after the *beep*”
When the pre-recorded voice has totally been played Tasker will start to record the caller voice and when the caller closes the call the recording will be saved in a known folder (Voicemail/Recordings).
As i unlock my smartphone a scene will appear where i can see who called me. Here is an example:
Mike - +39 xxx xxx - 20:14 (24 Hour format)
Obviously i will offer the possibility to change:
Time that Tasker has to wait. between the start of the incoming call and Time when it gets answered
The pre-recorded voice
In short now i will write all the actions that will be performed on specific events.
EVENT: Incoming call
ACTIONS TO PERFORM:
Setting %GotCall to 1
How much time has Tasker to wait? -> Wait x (choose your own wait time) seconds.
Answer call
Wait 500 milliseconds
Activate Speakerphone (I have to activate it as there is not the possibility to stream directly into the microphone)
Set the higher volume possible
Play the pre-recorded voice (It will be outputted using the SpeakerPhone)
Wait until the pre-recorded voice message finishes (I have made a recording of 8 seconds so i will set 9 seconds as Tasker's waiting time)
Disable SpeakerPhone (I don’t need anymore the SpeakerPhone)
Now the recording will get started
Write a txt file with: Caller name, Caller number and time (Using append)
EVENT: Call ended
ACTION TO PERFORM:
Stop recording
I do not need nothing else for the “Core” of the voicemail. Now i have to write a summary for the event “Screen Unlocked”... a simple event that occurs when the Screen gets unlocked.
EVENT: Screen Unlocked
ACTIONS TO PERFORM:
Check if %GotCall does not match to 0
(If the condition above is verified then do..) Read The Txt File and load it on %Read variable
Show scene (A scene that allows to see who called you)
Set back %GotCall to 0
III. TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
This project consists of:
1 State “Incoming Call” with: “Voicemail Enter” (enter task) and “Voicemail” (exit task)
1 Event “Screen Unlocked” with “Gotten Call” as task
Now i will try to explain detailed as possible the whole project.
INCOMING CALL (State):
It is a profile which gets enabled when there is an incoming call.
The state i have used to check when a call comes is: State -> Phone -> Call and setting the Type to “Incoming”.
Voicemail Enter (Task):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What i have used is simple and to get everything working i did not use nothing else than Tasker!
As you can see in the Screenshot there are 11 actions.. in border i will write the right name of the action so you can learn what it does:
Variable Set - Create and set to 1 a variable called “%GotCall”. This matter that i’ve got a call and it is useful for next steps
Wait - Setted to 15 seconds by default. This is the time that Tasker has to wait before answer the call … so set it as you want.
Take call - Just a simple action. It answers to the call
Wait - Already explained. In this case i have setted it to 500 milliseconds i need it to activate the SpekerPhone.. we have to consider some Phone latencies.
Speakerphone - Simple action. It allows to turn on or off the Speakerphone :’)
In-Call Volume - Is it necessary to explain? It adjust the in-call Volume [emoji14]. I need it because as i have explained before there is not the possibility to stream a pre-recorded voice directly.
Music Play - It allows to play a music file… or even a recorded message [emoji14]. We have to set the Stream to “Call” and in File the message we want to play
Wait - We will set how many second lasts the Message . If the recorded message is long 6 seconds set this action to 6 seconds and 500 milliseconds.
Speakerphone - Let’s set the speakerphone off as we do not need it anymore
Record Audio - It allows to start recording a call. We can set a specific name… I have setted it to Voicemail/Recordings/%CNAME - %CNUM - %TIME -> where %CNAME stands for “Caller Name”, %CNUM for “Caller Number” and %TIME for “Time” [emoji14]
Write File - It allows to create and write inside a TXT file. I have used it to create something like a log useful for the next steps (I will show this Txt file on the Event “Screen Unlocked”)
Voicemail Exit (Task):
As you can see this task is made just by one fundamental action “Record Audio Stop”.
This action allows to stop the Call Recording triggered before. If you do not add this action Tasker will continue to record NOTHING !
Display Unlocked (Event):
This event gets triggered when you unlock the smartphone and i will use it to show with a simple Scene (Also made with Tasker) the Log previously made using the function “Write File”.
So what i did is to create a profile using Event -> Display -> Display Unlocked and i have attached to it a simple task that i have called “GottenCall”.
GottenCall (Task):
GottenCall is a task made up of 4 simple action. Let’s take a look of what they do
If - It allows to check a condition. I have used it to check if %GotCall differs from 0.. if so means that i’ve got a call!
Read File - Simple action that allows to load a whole Txt file inside a variable. The parameters that you have to set are two: File (Which is destination folder) and To var (Which is the Variable you wanna use for loading the Txt file)
Show Scene - This action shows a scene previously made. I have also changed Display As to Activity, Full Window.
Reset
Voicemail Graphic (Scene):
As i said before i have also made a Scene that looks like this screeshot:
I have used a simple Text Area setting as Text (source) the variable %Read and a simple button with onTap action -> Destroy Scene - An action that closes the Scene.
IV. INSTALLATION GUIDE
Requirements:
Android 2.3+
[/B][/COLOR]
Tasker (Make sure to have the latest version)
Did you find problems during the installation? Check my Tutorial on YouTube...everything will go right! VoiceMail Project Installation Video Tutorial!​
Step by step guide:
Download the project from the thread (you can find it below)
Now open Tasker, this screen will appear
Click on the button Menu and open “Preferences”
Uncheck the Beginner Mode -> This will allow you to import Projects
Go on the main screen of Tasker and click on the Home button
Click on “Import” and go into the folder where you have VoiceMail.prj.xml -> If you have downloaded it using your Smartphone then it is located inside the "Download" folder
As they get imported deactivate them using the toggle available:
Open Es File Explorer and create 3 folders on the root:
-Voicemail
-Voicemail/Recordings
-Voicemail/Speech
Now record your own Message using a normal recording App -> I have used the Preinstalled App inside my Note 4
As you have finished to record move the recorded voice to the folder Voicemail/Speech
Open Tasker and go to the “Task” tab
Open “VoicemailEnter” and then tap on the action number 7. Here you have select your recording. To select the recording click on the magnifier lens and browse to Voicemail/Speech and click on the pre-recorded file! Once you have selected it tap on the top-left corner (As you are returning back).
Go back and open action number 8. Here you have to set how much time is long your pre-recorded voice. So set down Seconds the right time
Go on the main screen of tasker (Profiles) and activate back all my profiles !
All done, test it and let me know how it works !
V. FAQ
Here you can find the frequently asked questions.
Q: Why Tasker doesn't answer the call?
A: Tasker allows to answer Call using a simple action called "Take call" this one doesn't work on Lollipop and in some others devices. If you are running Lollipop you will not have this problem as i perform a Android Version check... if you have a lower Android version than make sure you grant all the permission needed to tasker. If the problem persists:
Enter inside the task "VoiceMailEnterKK&Lower"
.Delete the task number 3
Add a new action Code -> Run Shell and inside Command put: send keyevent 79
Move this action down the 2nd one.
Q: I have Miui and the call doesn't get answered.
A:
VI. THINGS TO DO IN THE FUTURE
Try to find a workaround for Android 5+ -> FOUND !!!
Improve User Interface on Screen Unlocked
Try to implements something to directly stream inside microphone
I hope you liked my thread… any advice are welcome.
Don’t forget to give me a thumb up :good: if you liked my work ​

Yes, Maybe i have To explain it better!
Anyway does it work for you?
Edit:
Which Android version do you have?
It doesn't work on Android 5+

It can work with Android 5+ LP as well. You simply need a standalone plugin for it available at PS.
Btw its same as you referred earlier on " Call Monitor Locale Plugin".
Very Nice & useful info. And well explained as well (Y)

I have to install Lollipop to find a workaround. Anyway that plugin "Call Monitor Local Monitor" automatically answer to the call as there is an incoming call. Maybe i will use intents and something else

I am on kitkat 4.4
Maybe it does not work in MiUi ... It can't answer the call.
Also I am kind of noob to tasker. May be I am doing something wrong. After doing all the steps, i turn the toggle for all three profiles to on mode. But in notification, tasker says, no profile active.

Could you send a screenshot of the Task "Voicemail Enter"?
Anyway some tasker's functions are not allowed on every ROMS.

Check them out

It seems strange as you have Take Call. Take call is an action that answer the call. I hope you have the latest version of Tasker... I Also had some problems with profiles in General. Try to make a simple profile. For example:
-State: When connected to WiFi
Add an enter task with "Open app" action!
Let me know.. Thank you!

I tried to create a simple profile. To turn off data when wifi is connected. And its working when i push the play button inside the task i.e. Mobile data turns off. Which means tasker can handle the thing. But when i connect to wifi, mobile data does not turn off. That means automatic working of profiles is not working. Maybe its because, notification of tasker still says 'no active profiles' in the notification shade

Okay let's check if Take call doesn't work!
1. Make a Call to your Voicemail Phone :') 2. Don't answer the call... But open tasker. Move to task tab and open "Voicemail Enter"
3. Make a Long press on the action "Take call" then click on The play button situated on the left bottom!
If you get the call answered then we have To check why the profile is not getting enabled on incoming call event!

Okay, i asked my friend to call me. He called, while the phone was ringing, i switched to tasker, and did what you said. And voila, call got answered. So i guess the profile is not getting activated on incoming call event..

So Take Call works perfectly... As I said before check if you have the latest Tasker Version!
There is a problem on the incoming call feature... Did you try to close tasker and Shutdown the screen? After this try to get a call

Hey, its working now.. Thanx a lot. It was some permission problem. I added tasker to trusted apps and it started to work..
Awesome work.. It will be magic if somehow you can make the speech file play through the audio up link. Because its not properly heard at the other end when played through the speaker.. Still.. Hats off to you...

Could you share your solution and what ROM are you running? I'll add it in OP!
Anyway Yes... i am trying to send the Audio directly with no results yet ... I wanna ask you something.. Does the recording plays with SpeakerPhone??

Can you link to that plugin? Sorry - can't find it.
I'm on LP 5.0.2 and "Take call" action is not available.

Call Monitor Tasker Plug-in
I'll explain what does that plugin do.
It's a simple plugin that allows you to trigger some action when call starts or ends. So this plugin will not allow you to replace the task called "Take Call" as you have to manually answer to the incoming call to get the profile activated. However i'm trying to figure out what i can do to get this Project also working on Lollipop. I guess... i have to Install Lollipop on my Note 4 to get started !

Automatically answering calls when screen facing down and in pocket

Not sure if anybody else has experienced this, but the phone seems to answer calls automatically when the screen is facing down or in a pocket. This issue persists even with all the motion control settings off. I have also activated different combinations of them to no avail. As an experiment, I had a friend call with the screen facing up. The phone rang, but as soon as I flipped it over, the call was answered. Software glitch?

I have done this. No impact whatsoever. The screen doesn't even have to be touched while facing down to auto-answer.

Check whether your ambient light sensor is working or not.
Have you tried factory reset? Did u update your phone recently?

If you need to lock your device to avoid accidental pick ups, follow these steps:
- Press the power button to manually lock the screen.
- The screen will lock automatically and enter sleep mode after it has been idle for a certain period to reduce power consumption and prevent unintended operations.
NOTE: To change the screen sleep time, open [click to enlarge] Settings, touch Display > Sleep, and then select a time.
Your phone will continue to receive messages, notifications, and incoming calls when the screen is locked. The status indicator will flash when you receive new notifications. When you receive an incoming call, the screen will turn on and display the caller information. (NS)

I have the same issue and it is really disturbing. Even if it is locked, if the proximity sensor is covered the phone automatically answers the call. I have all of the smart motion features turned off.
This means if someone calls me and my phone is face down or in my pocket, they can listen in on whatever I'm doing. I didn't notice it immediately because I don't receive many calls. I'm running the latest Honor firmware, but I would rather not have to factory reset (a huge hassle) just to test if anyone else has any information.
Phew, crisis averted. After half an hour or so of scrambling around my phone settings (I've been using android for a long time, I know my way around the settings VERY well), I found the culprit wasn't even an Honor smart feature. In the android accessibility menu, I somehow had "Raise to ear to answer" turned on. Apparently on the Honor 8 (and maybe more android phones? I'll have to do some testing), this setting only watches the proximity sensor and not the proximitey sensor AND the accelerometer. The Honor's smart motion feature "Raise to ear to answer calls" watches both sensors and works properly. OP, go to Settings->Advanced Settings->Accessibility and make sure the "Raise to ear to answer" settings is switched off!

The answer in post 6 is correct works on the H5x also

As someone who had this issue, I will point out that there were two distinct ways of getting to the "raise to ear to answer" setting on my Honor 8 and I had to turn BOTH off before it stopped answering calls in my pocket. So if anyone is having this issue, it might be worth checking out if your phone has multiple paths to the setting.

Simply go to settings and type the word Raise in the search box and both settings are right their.
The big thing on the H5x was the setting was on by default I think their both off on the H8 unless you change it

Thanks. This was driving me crazy with the Honor 7x. I turned this feature on but couldn't remember how i did it and couldn't find the setting. I have a flip case on the phone so it would ALWAYS auto answer because it thought it was at my ear.
