Ooh, this looks like just what I need. I've been using Llama recently (which was also provided at these forums), but it's been acting up on me after it seemed to be working well intially. I'll give this a spin and see how it goes. Thanks!
I wanted to try this, but, where is the app?

Thanks, I did find it on the Market. There is a free version as well. I thought this app was gonna be like Tasker or AutomateIt, but it's just a profile setter. I kept looking for more settings and there were none. Not what I was expecting. Interface is pretty good. BTW, the name Profili-Fi is Gayie-Gay. Lol, I just had to say that.
is there a way to find hidden SSID's in the paid version? There isn't an option to enter your own SSID in the lite version.
Tanks for the comments and reviews.

Yes we can! (like Obama),
there is an option to enter your own SSID in the lite version, add a new wifi profile on Menu/Add/Wifi and enter manualy the desired SSID network.
I never tested detect hidden networks, i will test it and if needed i correct it.

Hi leebo, this is the main function Profili-Fi v3.0, im working on that.
Couple of things
I'm on Droid X, and when I set the sound profile to max of 7, the volume goes only half way. Any way to make the volume to the max?
Is it possible to set a profile with Bluetooth too? For example, when I am in my car with the in-car Bluetooth on, I don't need WIFI on.

Hibernation and sleep are the same thing.
On settings of full version u can enable/disable the hibernation mode and schedule the begin and end of the hibernation period.
A quick explanation of the Profili-fi mechanism.
Profili-Fi turn ON and OFF your wifi periodically (can be changed on Settings/Refresh Time) to scan the environment for known networks to adjust your mobile phone profile.
If hibernation its ON for example since 00h00 at 09h00 the Profili-Fi wont scan the wifi environment between this times and with that saving some battery.
Feel free to tell me if u dont understand something.

Proposals
Hi:
Your application is amazing... it is a real good idea. I have two proposals:
- An export/import option to recover the configuration when you reinstall mobile, software, or simply to give the configuration to somebody or to another phone.
- An option to enable a wifi and let it run intermitent (for example, enable it every 10 minutes to check e-mail... and even launch the checking... not all the e-mail servers have push)... if you leave it always on the battery will die quickly.
- If you add bluetooth configuration depending of detected devices (my car bluetooth, for example)... you will be the king!
... please... enable de hibernation period in lite version! (hahaha)
A really good job! congratulations!

Jesus... This is pretty darn handy for school.
Testing it now!
very handy...wish this had been around sooner as I bought Tasker and configured a bunch of profiles to serve the same purpose as what this app seems to do much more simply. Looks great
Not bad
How about Touchdown support? That would make this incredibly handy for Exchange users!

Click to expand...

Touchdown actually does not sync anything to the device.
since this app read local synced events it can't read Touchdown settings or data (events for that matter).
If you wish to use Exchange calendar you can always sync your exchange account to the device using ActiveSync like this
settings -> accounts and sync -> add account -> Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
once you synced you device this app will be able to read Exchange calendar.
anyway thanks for the advice and ill try to add support for remote Exchange
update:
i added an "add new calendar account " button in settings for those who don't have their account configured
I bought the full version but just can't get it to work.
I went to "Events list" and pressed menu > Update from calendar, and I can see all my events in the list. But it just says "will schedule - event".
Then I go to the "Filters list" and see "all. schedule", yet my phone does not go silent when my events start.
The on/off button is very confusing. When the button is red and says "off", does it mean that it is off, or that I should press it if I wish to turn it off?
Thanks!

Hi.
the on/off button indicate the current state, meaning when the button is green and it's say "on" that mean that auto schedule is enabled
"all schedule" is the default filter that indicate that all events will be scheduled.
please pay attention that even event will be scheduled automatically only if the on/off button is in "on" state.
Pay attention that Calendar Silencer will not schedule events that already in progress, for example if you have event that start in 12:00 and you started the auto schedule in 12:05 the event will not be schedule.
if you enabled notifications please notice that the notification will disappear once the event has started, pressing the notification will clear the notification but also will cancel the alarm
let me know if have any more problems
Still nothing.

It was MIUIs fault, thanks for the support Swarly!
The app now works brilliantly! Highly recommended!
fix for MIUI Rom

I've been using a different app that seems to have this same feature set, and has been around longer.
How is this better than other competing apps that perform the same functions?

I cant compare these competing apps you are talking about because i don't know exactly what apps are you talking about .
I can answer you this:
before i wrote this app i looked in the market for something that will fulfill these requirements:
easy to use
work with synced calendars like exchange or Gmail calendar
will have to option to fire and forget
i downloaded several apps including paid ones and I couldn't find what i was looking for.
the ones that was simple couldn't work with synced calendars.
and those who could work with synced calendars were overkill ( profile apps that could do almost anything ) were to complicated to operate and demanded a lot of configurations and frustration.
So I decided to do my best to fulfill the goals i wrote to myself and try to keep it as simple as possible .
Because I cant look at every tool/app that exist in the market there may be an app out there that does serve the same functionality , but odds are that it either not do exactly the same or is a lot more complicated then this one.

Swarly
error during level 2
i've been using tasker but recently i starder cleaning my app list and noticed that i was using a mighty appp like tasker for just silencing the phoe when i was "busy" in my calendar.
i found your app which probably does what i want but i got intro trouble with it. i get an error when i try to turn it on (error during level 2) and the app crashes when i want to switch to the events tab (second tab).
also i haven't been able to test the filter option: i just want my phone to go silent when o am "busy" in the calendar - that's it. does the filter option allow for such a setup?
I've been looking for something like this since I first got an android phone THanks!

hi
Unfortunately busy mode is not yet supported in this app but its a good idea i will add asap.
please check the program version I'm updating and fixing bug almost on daily basis.
the current program version is 1.2.24
additionally if you can please report the problem using the report error button so i can have an idea about where to start looking for problems
about the error please let me know what kind of device you have
finally I started my semester and once the courses started i found some bugs and problems with my app
* fixed bug for overlapping event
* fixed bug with contact exception functionality
* minor bugs regarding event scheduling were fixed
I'll publish another big update soon that will be focused on performance.
as promised I released big update
major Performance update - from now list load faster and scroll much smother
overlaping event detection method was changed from the core from now no more false detection that caused problems
added warings to warn users that don't have calendars installed
as always I"m open to new suggestions and improvement ideas
Hi
After 2 years developing and improving Rules Engine I have created Automated Device for 4.0+ devices.
This program is rules engine that let your device behave automatically according to conditions and execute actions
Please submit any comment, error, suggestion here.
Android Market link
Direct link to APK
Automated Device is an application designed to let you automate the behaviour of your device. It is based in rules. The user can define many rules to define the device's state in different situations.
A rule is defined by:
Conditions: When every condition (AND clause) o at least one (OR clause) in a rule is satisfied then the rule is satisfied. Examples:
From Monday to Friday, between 12:00 and 05:00 (Time-Date condition)
To be inside (or outside) my home (Position condition)
Bluetooth state is ON (Hardware condition)
Battery level between 0% and 20%
Incoming phone call
Incoming SMS containing some word
Power state, battery or connected
Screen state
Other rule is matched or not
Other program is running or not
Phone state (ringing...)
Calendar appointments. This condition is matched when current date is inside of the appointment and the appointment text contain a user defined word
Brightness mode
autosync state
Network type (GPRS, HSPA, CDMA, LTE, etc)
Device connectivity state
Headphone state
Car mode
Dim state
Wifi hotspot
To be connected to a wifi network specified by its name
To receive a SMS/MMS comming from some phone number or with its text containing some word or phase
Ambient light
Ambient temperature
Pressure
Proximity sensor level
Some phone number is calling you (ringin), or is in call with you, or just called you
Mobile operator name
Actions to be executed when the rule passes from unmached to matched: Actions to be executed when every condition is satisfied. Each one can be applied once or periodically while the rule is matched Examples:
Set Bluetooth OFF
Set device volume
Launch a program
Kill a program
Apply a profile. A profile is compound by actions. So when the rule applies a profile it simply execute its associated actions.
Set different kinds of sound levels (system, notification, alarms, etc)
Set Brightness mode (automatic / manual) and bright level
Set autosync state
Play a song
Send SMS
Send Email. You can include many variables, like free memory and disk, last caller, battery statistics, sensors values (pressure, light, temperature, etc)
Car mode
Set wallpaper
Set ringtone (android ringtone or user mp3)
Screen off timeout
Dim state
Wifi hotspot
Play a system notification
Vibrate some milliseconds
Show popup message with free text and variables
Show a tob bar notification with free text and variables
Enable / Disable rules.
Sent variables (temperature, position, etc) to a web server as HTTP parameters
Open system dialogs, like 3G/2G, Tethering, etc
Actions to be executed when the rule passes from matched to unmatched. (The same ones like the above section)
The device broadcast many events, like battery level, time, etc. Those events are processed by Automated Device and the rules are evaluated.
Important: When a rule is applied then It wont be applied again until it doesn't satisfy it previously. For example, if a rule condition is "Battery level less than 15%" and the action is "Play a song" and current battery level is 10% then the song will play. But it wont play again until the rule wont be satisfied and then satisfied again. So if the battery level raises to 20% and then decreases again to 8% then it will play the song again. This avoid loops so a rule is executed many times.
Sections:
SWITCHERS: This window lets you change the state of Wifi, Bluetooth, etc. It also lets you set a time-out. When the time expires the program will set the previous state. It also lets you "lock" a profile with/without time limit. For example, if you go the cinema you could lock the profile "Silent". When Automated Device is locked it wont execute any rule
PROFILES: A profile is a set of actions. This section lets you define and apply right now a profile. For example, you could create the profile "Meeting". Its actions would be speaker to vibrate, flight mode and send a SMS. The three actions would be applied. You could establish a timeout. During this time the program WONT apply any rule. In this way the program wont apply other rule that could change the speaker state, for example. Once the timer expires then the engine will be enabled again.
NEW PROFILE: This dialog lets you choose a name and description for the new profile.
ACTIONS: Here you can choose the set of actions associated to the profile.
RULES: In this windows you can manage your rules and create new ones. If the background of the rule is RED it means the rule isn't met right now. If the background is GREEN it means the rule is met right now.
RULE INFORMATION: This screen lets you manage the name and description and shows how many conditions and actions the rule has. It lets you set the priority of the rule. If two rules match at the same time then this priority will solve conflicts. For example, if both rules are going to change the audio state. It also lets you add/edit/remote more actions/conditions.
RULE CONDITIONS: This screen lets you add / remove / edit conditions. There are several types of conditions:
WEEK DAY AND TIME: You can select some weekdays and then a begin time and end time. For example, Monday and Tuesday from 22:00 to 06:00
ENTER/EXIT A PLACE: You must choose a location and a radius. So if you choose a "Enter a place condition" then the condition will be met if you are inside. If you choose "Exit a a place condition" then the condition will be met if you are outside.
STATUS CONDITIONS: There are many conditions related with some hardware status. For example, you could use WIFI ON. This condition is matched when the WIFI state is ON
LOG: This screen shows the application log. Each log line has a category: Debug, Info, Warning and Error. Here you know what happens inside the program. You can see a rules history. And you can clear it and export it by email.
SETTINGS: Hare you configure the program.
Launch at boot time: If selected the the program will be launched at boot time.
Log level. This options lets you choose what kind of log events you want to store.
Automated Device enabled. If disabled then It wont process events.
Show icon notificacion in the top bar.
EXPERIMENTAL: Location autorefresh interval. By default Android doesnt allow location changes when the screen is off. This option try to fix it.

Thanks, I already know it. I use a gmail account to send mails but google is rejecting them because they are very far (Spain, USA). I am going to create web service in my web server. So the device will contact my server and this one will send the email

Isn't it just the fact that Google only accepts sending email when you, or I, log on to their smtp servers using a valid username and password? So if you are able to send the mail that way, the problem should be solved...
Great idea, nice work.
sent from public phone using coins.
Playstore says latest version not compatible with my device (HP Touchpad running CM11).
Just designed for phones?

See what Google sent a few minutes ago. It's no related with user and password but an Gmail account sending emails from Spain usa France etc using the same account
Hi Daniel,
Someone recently used your password to try to sign in to your Google Account [email protected]. This person was using an application such as an email client or mobile device.
We prevented the sign-in attempt in case this was a hijacker trying to access your account. Please review the details of the sign-in attempt:
Monday, February 3, 2014 12:05:14 PM UTC
IP Address: 31.20.201.179
Location: The Netherlands
If you do not recognize this sign-in attempt, someone else might be trying to access your account. You should sign in to your account and reset your password immediately.

Every time I try to enter the enter or exit location in rules, the app force closes. KitKat Moto g. ROM has a gps bug though. Can't get lock.
Gents and ladies,
Tmobile SD820 S7 flat user here, and like everyone else, have the high android system battery drain issue I have been trying to hunt down. Till samsung and tmo release a fix, I thought it would be beneficial to create an exhaustive list of all the phone settings where sneaky reporting and syncing is going on. The more I look, the more I find these backdoors in android and starting to get very irritated with the whole android ecosystem. An average user should not have to mess with their phone this extensively to get it to perform adequately. Maybe there is something to what the apple nazis say about an ecosystem where they control high quality. Marshmellow was supposed to come with better battery life (as they promised with Lollipop as well).
Anyway, enough ranting. Here is my list, please feel free to add more and I will update the OP.
Google activity controls - Google now page, settings at the top, then Google account settings, then accounts and privacy, then google activity controls. Turn off location history and other activity controls that you find you don't need.
Diagnostics reporting to Google - Google now page, settings at the top, then Accounts and privacy, turn off "help improve google"
Diagnostics reporting to Samsung - Samsung settings - personal - privacy and safety - Report diagnostic info - Off
Turn off anonymous reporting in Language and input - Settings - language and input - text to speech, google text to speech settings, then settings and turn off anonymous reporting
Turn off other security reports - Settings - lock screen & security - other security - security reports
Turn off access to hardware by different apps - Settings - privacy and safety - app permissions. e.g., Why on earth does google keep need body sensor access?!
Turn off unwanted syncing - Go to settings - accounts and check every account including Samsung, Whatsapp etc. and turn off syncing.
Turn off Contacts searching for nearby places and invoking location - Settings - applications - contacts and turn off "search for nearby places"
Turn off background data usage for unwanted apps - Settings - data usage - go through every app that you don't want background data usage for, and turn off
Turn off unwanted notifications - settings - applications - notifications
Turn off pop-up notifications for applications - settings - notifications - advanced settings - disable pop-up
Turn off push notifications for messages app - settings - applications - messages - turn off push. This does not impact receiving SMS/MMS.
Turn off OK Google detection from everywhere except home screen. Google now page, settings at the top, then voice then "OK google detection"
Other tips I have tried but I am not sure have helped:
Disable google now on tap.
Optimize battery usage for as many apps as you desire.
Disable wifi scanning and nearby device scanning - settings - location - improve accuracy and turn off wifi and bluetooth scanning
Enabled wifi smart network switch
WiFi calling turned off
VOLTE turned off
I cannot live without / do not want to compromise on (so will optimize battery despite the following always on):
Google now with high accuracy location mode
AOD
VOLTE
BT always on
Screen brightness set to 75%
WiFi calling set to on
Device Settings Menu Guide, Tips & Discussions
Part 3 - Display, Lock screen, Biometrics and security, Safety
If you're new to this series or want to see the index, please read the Introductory Post first.
Display
Dark mode settings: I have kept it 'Turn on as scheduled' with 'sunset to sunshine'. If scheduled, the dark mode is only enabled after the screen gets off.
Brightness: When you change brightness in 'Adaptive brightness' mode, your device is smart enough to learn your usage patterns to determine the best level according to the environment as per your preferences. 'Reset usage patterns' in case you think your phone is drunk when in Auto mode.
Motion Smoothness: You have a monster with a 120 Hz refresh rate! Use it with 'Adaptive' mode. It also saves battery keeping your refresh rates low when not needed. 'Standard' mode uses a constant 60 Hz refresh rate. Use it when you know you will be scrolling and watching movies but want to save battery.
Eye comfort shield [Formerly Blue light filter]: Learn why you should use it here. I've set it to 'Custom' > 'Turn on as scheduled' > 'Sunset to sunrise'. You can toggle it from the notification panel as well. Still need to see how the new 'Adaptive' mode works - it claims that it makes minor adjustments throughout the day. Anyone can comment?
Night Mode: (Pie update) Enable it to make use of true blacks on your AMOLED screen, save battery and put less strain on eyes. I know you want it to only enable at night, so hop up to developer mode and set 'Night mode' to Automatic.
Screen mode: I've set it to 'Vivid' to let Samsung be where it is best at - Display Vibrance! If you are towards the cooler or warmer side, you have now the option to customize with 'White balance'. In 'Advanced settings', you also get to tweak RGB colours!
Font size and style; Screen zoom: I've set 'Screen Zoom' to 'Small' and 'Font Size' to Level 2 in order to get more content in a screen view. Please tell me if there's any better font on Galaxy Apps.
Screen resolution: By default, you don't get the resolution enabled that your S22U is capable of. I've changed it to WQHD+ for getting the most out of the best display in the market. I've the resolution set to HD+ in Medium Battery Saver mode in case I'm on Survival mode.
Full screen apps: I customize it when needed for an app. You can tell which apps should not show your camera cutout (so they show a bar instead)!
Screen timeout: Mine is set to 10 minutes. You know, pro users!
Home screen: Self-explanatory and I use Nova Launcher. Do enable 'Quick-open' notification panel.
Edge panels: You can set a maximum of 9 panels. Explore options for each panel and try more of them from the Store. I've enabled Apps edge (also make app pair and folders), People edge (upto 10), Smart select (take portion screenshots, make screen GIFs, pin a screen's content), Clipboard edge (auto-categorizes items), Reminder, Device maintenance (useful to review device performance OTG), Tasks edge (explore all available tasks), Quick tools (must have), Calendar. Tap Menu and 'Reorder' the panels as per your needs. In 'Edge panel handle', I've set the Transparency to highest and Size and widht to larges. I've dragged the handle to Right near power button so that I can always guess where the handle is.
Navigation bar: You can enjoy the immersive display by setting 'Navigation type' to 'Swipe gestures' and disabling 'Gesture hints' and 'Show button to hide keyboard'. I eventually got used to this. You also have an option to go back by dragging the sides. You can use Nav bar button on Quick Settings by dragging down the notification panel to toggle showing the navbar then.
Accidental touch protection: Really useful because I keep my phone screen faced to my leg side when inside pocket so that it's protected from the outside cruel world.
Screensaver: In case phone is your life even when it wants to get charged peacefully.
Lock screen
Screen lock type: I use Pattern with Biometrics (Intelligent Scan and Fingerprints mostly Fingerprints only). Fingerprints remain the best security and battery-efficient method to date at least for me. Use Iris for more security than regular face recognition. Also, with Iris, your device won't get unlocked while you're sleeping or with your photo. Use 'Intelligent Scan' for bit more ease (read about it here).
Smart Lock: It's a Google feature that can unlock your phone via On-body detection, Trusted places/devices and Voice Match. I used it once with On-body detection but couldn't impress me. Read about it here.
Secure lock settings: Disabled 'Make pattern visible'. Set 'Lock automatically' to 15 seconds in case I want to turn on the screen immediately without unlocking it. Anyways, 'Lock instantly with power key ' is enabled when I explicitly want it to get locked. Use 'Auto factory reset' carefully as someone could initiate this by simply making incorrect attempts. I've enabled 'Lock network and security' especially for theft use-case.
Always On Display: For customizing it, go to 'Clock style' below. Guide on AOD here and video here. You now have new display mode as 'Tap to show' AOD for 30 seconds. I've set it to 'show as scheduled' such it doesn't glow when I sleep. Also, I get an idea that it's time to get to bed when AOD stops showing up (same for wakeup).
Clock style: You can customize AOD with different clock styles, pictures, GIFs, Calendar and roaming clocks. Blue 'colour' gives a soothing effect every time I look at the clock for me. Similarly, you can customize your Lock Screen clock style here.
Content to show: 'Home button and clock' feel elegant for me.
Auto brightness: If enabled, you can also change it by double tapping the AOD clock. I have set it to the maximum to get eyes on it!
Show always; Set schedule: If you often check the clock at night, you can enable the former. I've disabled AOD during my night sleep schedule so that I additionally get a hint when it's already time to go to bed and whether it's time to get up or not.
Turn off to save battery: Enabled. Do you need AOD in survival mode too?
Roaming clock: I had to disable it as every operator in India puts SIM to Roaming mode when you're out of your circle (mostly defined to a state) and I get two identical clocks whenever I travel out of state.
Widgets: Enabled all available choices and will decide about the reordering or need of each of them after I arrive at the use-cases. The same goes for you maybe.
Contact information: Do fill it. I've included my name and number on it. Can be useful when stolen, lost or misplaced. You can include email or alternative mobile numbers as well since the primary number would probably be in the device itself.
Notifications: I've changed it to 'Details' from 'Icon only' since later makes it similar to AOD style notifications and I want the description of notifications once I go over my AOD screen. 'Hide content' if you don't want people to read your notifications. I rather do this on a per-app basis (like messages for OTPs, sensitive apps). 'Notifications icons only' Toggle 'Transparency' if you find it difficult to read notification over the wallpaper or want your wallpaper to expose. 'Auto-reverse text colour' makes it easier to adapt with the wallpaper. You can define 'Where to show' your notifications here (AOD or Lock screen or both).
Shortcuts: Define the two shortcuts you see on the bottom screen corners while on lock screen. You can choose any app though default (phone and camera) works for me.
Biometrics and security
Biometrics: You can remove biometrics data and configure 'Samsung Pass' to use these here. You can enable 'Screen-on' scan for making the device scan for your face as soon as screen turns on. This increases brightness immediately while it's scanning (can be annoying) and will drain some battery. In 'Fingerprint Scanner', you can add as many as 4 fingerprints (reserve one for Secure Folder).
Screen transition effect: Disabled as I want things at fastest.
Google Play Protect: Enabled. Read more here.
Find My Mobile: 'Remote controls', 'Google location service' and 'Send last location' enabled. This should be the first things to review once you buy the device. Prepare yourself with a demo on findmymobile.samsung.com.
Security update: Shows the patch level and gets updated with 'Software Update'.
Samsung Pass: Saves your passwords, addresses and payment information securely.
Install Unknown Apps: Allow/Disallow existing apps to install apps from APK.
Secure Folder: The replacement for Samsung My Knox. Must-use feature to separate your very private and confidential part of the phone. Guide here and video here.
Private Share: You can share your photos and videos without letting anyone save or download it. Uses blockchain. Need to learn more about this.
Other security settings: 'Set up SIM card lock' disabled (same reason as in 'Secure startup'), 'Make passwords visible' disabled, 'Security policy updates' auto update enabled (Here is what are these), 'Send security reports' enabled. Set 'Device admin apps' with care (Learn about them here in case you haven't). You need to remove an app from here before uninstalling it. 'Creditial Storage' for CAs and user certificates (Learn more about CAs here). 'Pin windows' is a very useful feature for me. In cases where you need to give your device to someone (for like watching a movie or seeing the gallery), if this is enabled with 'ask for pattern before unpinning', when you 'pin' that app (video player or gallery), people will have to pass the lock method to get out of that app. Configure which apps can have 'Usage data access', 'Notification access' and 'Do not disturb permission'.
Privacy
All permissions; Permissions manager: Manage and view granular level permissions per app or apps per permission basis.
Controls and alerts: You can set if apps can have 'Camera access' or 'Microphone access'. Disabling this makes no installed app to access these - could be done when you are in spy mode. You can also get alerted when an app accesses your clipboard with 'alert when clipboard accessed'.
Samsung: You get the privacy policy in Samsung Privacy. In Customization Service, I have disabled Use mobile data to save my data against nothing important. You can also request to Download your data Samsung has collected about you.
Google: Just like above, see what Google collects!
Location
App permissions: Allow apps and sites to detect your device's location. I've enabled it since I use too much location-specific content. You can turn it off if you suspect your dad working in NSA (approx. locality can still be tracked through IP, use VPN). If you need to enable Location for an app, I suggest using Allow while using app than Allow all the time for apps that you think only needs to use while you are using the app. Why allow Instagram to get location all the time when you only need it while sharing something? Google Maps, on the other hand, can give you information about upcoming traffic if allowed in the background!
Wi-Fi scanning; Bluetooth scanning: Wi-Fi scanning uses the database of Wi-Fi locations to predict your location. Read how it works here. Similar goes for BT.
Safety and emergency
Fill your Medical Info like Blood group and conditions so that any help knows about this when life goes wrong.
Add your Emergency contacts so you can access them on lock screen.
You can enable DND while you are driving with Silence notifications while driving.
Emergency mode [Formerly Ultra power saving mode]: You get a black screen that enables you to call and text. Saves a great battery when you are in survival mode. You can add few apps like WhatsApp too!
Panic mode: Keep this enabled (can save you) and when you press your power key 3 times, your device sends Location, Emergency text and photos from your camera to your selected content. Be careful that you are likely to press the power button multiple times when you are stressed and you would be sending unwanted photos to your contacts. Either disable the photo-sharing option or select contacts carefully.
FAQs
Does having Adaptive Refresh Rate really work better with a battery instead of 60 Hz? (Asked by @brokyneo)
Ans: It depends on the usage. If you reading something and not watching dynamic content like videos, you don't need to refresh the screen 120 times a second!
Adaptive Refresh Rates on S22 Ultra has 7 rates: 10Hz, 24Hz, 30Hz, 48Hz, 60Hz, 96Hz and 120Hz. With 10 Hz, you essentially make the GPU display frames 92% fewer times! This should save your battery to a great extent!
