I used to install addintimer as my auto flight mode APP.
But after 4.4.x, the author seems to stopped developing the APP.
Is there any alternative solution?
All I ask is set the phone to go fight mode when I sleep and enter stand by mode before I wake.
The flight mode period would be from 1:00am to 7:00am. Which may help to save some battery life.

You could use Tasker or something similar.

I have a windows mobile programming question:
I'm trying to write an application that will turn the phone to vibrate during a specific time of the day (when I'm at work). The problem I have is that when the phone goes to sleep my app apparently goes to sleep also. So my timer doesn't keep ticking to check if it is time to go to vibrate. Is there a way to keep my application running while the phone is in sleep mode so that the timer tick event is still called?
I would really appreciate any help, this is my first windows mobile app and don't know the intricacies of coding for windows mobile.
You may try the Unattended Mode...

imho, it's better to use the notification queue than have an application run in the background.

That's pretty much exactly what I'm doing. Though mine has a more graphical UI and is more touch friendly. I've finished everything except that when the phone falls asleep my timer event is not called to change the volume setting.

I'm a little confused by that article. Do I catch the event that the phone is falling asleep and then set it to unattended mode? Or is it that I would set it to unattended mode, and whenever the phone is supposed to fall asleep instead it goes to unattended mode?
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...

Hello something similar has been already asked, but what I am looking for differs a bit.
Is there an app like the Nokia Profiles with which you can have a Profile with Auto Airplane Mode from ex. 02.00am to 07.00am???
Hi,
I have developed an application that puts the device in airplane mode at the specified time. It also gets the device back into normal mode at the specified time. This happens every day. One can also cancel the auto on/off scheduling.
It doesn't support profiles yet, but I am looking for ideas. The application is small and is free without any complexity.
You can get it from the Android Market:

Do tell me how it goes for you.

If youre looking for something more complex, look for Tasker from the market. You literally can create your own profiles etc
Hi All,
First of all, I am quite happy to be a part of such a vibrant community of developers and users alike. I have developed a small and simple application that allows you to put your device into airplane mode at the set time and put it back in normal mode at the set time.
This cycling happens everyday and all radios are returned to the same state in airplane off as they were before the airplane mode is turned on. I basically use it to put my device into airplane mode at night. In the morning, it automatically turns off the airplane mode. This allows me to save battery as well without going through all the other complex stuff.
I have reports of testing it on multiple devices working properly. But I also have got reports of it not working without more details from users. Would be great if the community here can help me check it out and report errors if any. I would also appreciate a rating help if possible.
There are applications like Tasker which are far too complex for such a small job. Also my application is totally free.
************************
Auto On-Off Flight Mode scheduler. An easy, nice and simple application to automate the Flight Mode Scheduling. Saves battery the easy way. Night is the best time when you don't want to be disturbed and when you want to conserve battery. In the morning at the Set time, it automatically comes out of flight mode. So now you are ready to receive calls and messages as needed.
A perfect application for the simple purpose of saving your battery. No need to mess around with complex settings. Easy to use for novices and advanced user.

Looks great! I was just looking for something like this. I've been using Tasker, but that's a bit overkill.
I consider our Tablet to be different than a phone, in the sense that when we turn off the screen, we dont need all the background functions still running. Currently I see TF101 deep sleep battery drain caused by many different functions running in the backend...for example the location services api.
I was thinking of creating a Tasker script that turns off as many different things as possible a few minutes after the screen is turned off.....And turns them back on when the device is unlocked.
I didn't want to spend time reinventing the wheel if this has already been done....
Anyone already try this? Results?
thanks.
I decided I was over-thinking it...and went with tasker scripts to
a) Auto Turn on Airplane mode when the screen goes off
b) Auto Turn off Airplane mode when the device is unlocked.
(This involved using the "Secure Settings" plugin app to allow Airplane mode via tasker on 4.2 JB)
So far the results have been good. i don't see those map api's being called during deep sleep.
