I'm trying to find an app that can pretty much lock and enable flight mode/turn off all reception at a set time every night and unlock the phone again at a set time in the morning.
The reason for this is that i want to be able to lock my kids phones/tablets at night so that they can't use them at night but their alarms are still working as they should.
Since this is to stop the kids from playing with their phones all night instead of sleeping like they should the app HAS TO be lockable so that only i can access it's settings.
Is there any app like this out there in the interwebs ??
First topic by me so don't kill me if i've accidentally placed it wrong

Hi to all, is there a way to switch on the HD2 at a desidered time?
I mean: from the phone totally switched off is there some software or mod that makes it auto-turning on?
So battery life could be extended instead of keeping it turned on during the night only for make the alarm clock ring...
On my nokia it was possible make it to turn on automatically and make the alarm ring, I think it's strange that this cannot be done on the HD2...
Thanks for your answers and sorry for my english, I hope you understood anyway
bye
Try CT Scheduler. However, if anyone else here has any idea about other programs that can do this, let me know.
I'm looking for something that does something like this:
1. Turn on phone every 15 minutes
2. Leave it on for 2 minutes (so that calls/text messages can arrive)
3. Turn off the phone
Repeat.
Try G-Alarm
Not to sure if it have the wake up function.
SKSchema is simply the best.
You can schedule what you want on your PDA and it runs great on HD2.

I think this is technicaly not possible because when the phone is off it is not possible to run software.
If you desire it to consume the lowest possible amout of power you may put the phone into flight mode and ensure no background apps are still running.
Some software such as Galarm will turn the phone into flight mode over night and dissable flight mode in the morning with the alarm.
I use phonealarm,
at night I set my phone to automatically switch to flight mode, so that I receive no calls, messages etc, and it uses virtually no battery power, but the alarm still goes off in the morning, and my phone automatically switches back on
I want to take a nap, and not be bothered for at least a few hours. But I want to be woken up by calls later on (just not for a few hours). Is there any app that will disable silent mode or even better disable Airplane mode, on a timer?
IE Put my phone in Airplane mode, and automatically disable that X hours from now. Does such an app exist?
Just an idea... Passing out now...

Locale can do this, I believe.
So can settings profiles. Pay app though.
So does PhoneWeaver. Tried and tested.
I have the same idea at Paul. I have mine in Airplane mode while I sleep.
I hv been using Timeriffic. It has several timers depending on days and it has control over wifi/bluetooth/volume/brightness/airplane mode/etc. AND IT'S FREE!
Lately I've switched to StudioKUMA AirPlane Scheduler because it can keep your wifi on when it turns on the airplane mode (normally when u turn on airplane mode the wifi will be forced off). Free as well.
EDIT: Ops, sorry. I reread and found you need a timer instead of a scheduler... Ignore plz...
Try BuzzOff http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.branchcut.buzzoff

Hi guys,
I'm in desperate need of an app that automatically turns on Airplane Mode when there is no signal for a while and then turns it on after a time and then automatically back off again for a while and keeps cycling until signal is found?
I checked out a few apps in the market but most of them are just scheduled to turn Airplane Mode on after a certain time and then either leave it on or turn it off and leave it off. I need it to do automatic cycling since I do a lot of subway travelling throughout my day and I am constantly in no signal zones.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
The problem here is no app has your paramaters to cycle through like you want. you can use apps like llama or locale though to change your mode automatically based on where you are. or you could try juice defender to turn your phones antenna's when you have your screen of if you dont use it much on the subway. other than that you may have to do this manually.
I checked out an app called NoBars Battery Saver and it does exactly what I need except the problem is it doesn't allow you to customize the signal search timeouts and Airplane Mode timeouts. Instead it has a short list of presets:
Signal search timeout
30 seconds
2 minutes
5 minutes
Airplane mode timeout
10 minutes
1 hour
Infinity
I'm fine with the shortest 30 seconds of signal searching before going to Airplane Mode but I'd like to set Airplane Mode timeout for 5 mins instead of 10 mins (which is a little too long for me as sometimes im in the subway for say 11 minutes and now I have to wait another 9 minutes for it to turn on again).
Does anyone know any other apps exactly like or similar to NoBars Battery Saver?
OOOk yeah ive seen that app, my mom actually uses it. but i dont think i ever found a similar one that let me customize. would be interested in this also in fact. any one?
I found another app called Auto Flight Mode but I'm reading mixed reviews about it and it is a paid app so I want to make sure it works before I get it. Anyone have experience with this app?

Smartphone 2 new owner here.
I am trying to find out if there is a Night Mode for the SW2? I often spend nights away from home on business. I need to look at my watch during the night sometimes to check if it's time to catch an early flight. Is there anyway to switch on a Night Mode that stops the watch vibrating and stops the screen automatically lighting up with notifications?
I know I can turn off vibrate and bluetooth manually, but then I don't get notifications stored, and I have to remember to turn them back on when I want normal operation.
It would be nice to have Alarm notifications operate normally (light and vibrate), whilst other notifications come through, but don't light ot vibrate.
Anyone have any suggestions please?
Disable Bluetooth on the smartphone, it's easier.
You can set also a scheduled profile on the phone that at night turns off the Bluetooth and at morning turns it on.

Many thanks TMI. The simplest solutions are often the best
One more question please... Do I need an app for schedulng this (Blocking Mode doesn't seem to control Bluetooth). And, if so, does anyone recommend a simple app for scheduling bluetooth on/off?
Thank you.
There are many free profile scheduling apps on the Play Store
Some examples:

Search Play Store with the keywords time profile for more apps.
I have a G930F stock but rooted. I recently installed a game called "Battleborn Tap". I noticed that if the game is running in the background (ie. if I'm playing and hit the home button to go back to the home page), if I leave my phone on my desk, it won't auto sleep/lock. If I kill the game by using the recent apps button then the close all apps button, if I leave my phone on my desk it auto sleeps/locks like it should. Any one know if this is a setting I need to flip or if the game even when running in the background is keeping the phone awake?
Issue I had from yesterday was, while I was at worked during lunch I played for a couple minutes then went to browse the web using chrome. I then put my phone face down on my desk thinking it would auto lock in a few seconds. Two or so hours later I got a text message and saw that the phone is still awake and unlocked when I picked it up.
