Intelligent Ringer sets ringer volume based on the ambient noise level in which your smartphone is actually working. It is also able to detect whether the device is in a pocket or not, based on the proximity sensor readings.
Unlike similar apps Intelligent Ringer adjusts its internal settings to the particular device, which has a significant effect on measurement and setting process accuracy.
**************************************************
Notification removal for Jelly Bean users:
You can permanently switch off this notification instead of just hiding it. Please go to: System Settings --> Application Manager --> Intelligent Ringer --> and uncheck "Show Notifications".
**************************************************
It respects silent and vibrate mode - when any of these is active, volume won't be changed by the Intelligent Ringer.
********************
You can control whole process using the following application settings:
- Pocket Factor - Additional volume which is added to the actual measurement value only when the device is discovered to be in a pocket.
- Accuracy - decide how precise the volume setting process should be.
- Sensitivity - change the microphone sensitivity when needed.
Minimum / Maximum volume - limit the maximum and minimum volume possible to set.
Update 1.0.8 is available now.

*********************************************
New features in version 1.0.3:
- Minimum and maximum volume settings.
- fixed charset in Polish help.
Useful app
Brilliant!!! TQ!
I'd love to help translating it to spanish, where can I help?
theoretically, shouldnt this app drain tons of battery?
This is pretty funny. I imagined this very same tool about 2 days ago, pocket detector and all. I'm definitely going to try this. I often don't hear my phone outside.
i dont mean to hijack the thread, but i coulda swore there was an app released a long time ago that did exactly this. i remember trying it out. no idea on the name tho. hmm.
awesome App!

I bought RingDimmer a while back and loved how it worked.. but it was a MASSIVE drain on my battery, usually 10%-15% by the end of the day was used by it..
And I had it set with the lowest sensitivity hoping it would update the volume less frequently..
Hope this works better.
possible to hide icon in notification bar? it's really expensive real estate there.

Well... yes, the application name is IntelliRing. I tried that app, it does what is suppose to do and there is no battery drain because it is not active in background all the time. App is inwoked on call, it measure noise around phone in 1-2 sec then pass the call through.
Excellent idea but I found a flaw (for me exactly) if my phone is at the table in empty room next to where I am, he will ring almost silent and I will not hear it and missed a call. That is the thing that kill that app for me)
some more suggestions and clarifications
How much of a battery drain this app will be?
Some suggestions:
And also, for the pocket detection, it would be great if the option to enable vibrate is also available. Cos when we drive (by bike) and if the phone rings in the pockets that will help more than a loud ring tone. (if vibration intensity control also included, that would be great)
And also if there will be turn to mute option like it is available for samsung galaxy s3 phone or as available in the app called INTELLIRINGER that would be super awesome..
Hope to see more and more from this. I have a lot of respect for apps that come from members of XDA. They are performance oriented and are made out of passion.
Good luck.

I think you mean AutoVolume. Yes, actually seems the same idea.
After activating my phone rings and i can hear caller but they cant hear me. Bug!!!!
Very nice app!
If you need some help translating the app to French, I'd be happy to help. Great idea! Will install it soon!
Hi everyone can you please tell me what your experience is in terms of battery life after the last update, cause for me it seems to have improved a lot, I woke up with the watch updated in the charger (left it to charge over night and the phone was connected to the wifi so it downloaded the app update on it's self and the watch was connected so it updated on it's own) and this is the 4th day of using it and now at 22:57 I finally got the 15% battery warning with high usage (3 of the days I used the watch to controll the music while I was at school so the screen was on 6h/per day in that app) and before this update I got the 15% message in the middle of the 3rd day with low usage (to read some notifications and answer some calls only)?
Also could you tell me what would you like to see this watch do in future updates (just to see what others think)? I would personally like to see:
-music control widget
-shake to wake
-double tap screen to wake (I don't belive this is possible/will be done)
-ability to see the clock when I am in any app (at least something like pressing the menu button and then pressing a button to show the clock for a couple of seconds)
-ability to open the notification drawer in any app (I would like to see this done like I said I would like to be able to show the clock)
-ability to set screen timeout (and perhaps with the "never" option)
-ability to set standby screen brightness (would really like to make it just a bit brighter so I can read the hour without having to turn on the screen when there is not a lot of light)
-ability to set screen timeout/brightness on a per-app basis (most surely won't see this, but I would love to make the messages app timeout longer and make the screen brighter when in it)
Also do you think we will get something like the Open SmartWatch project for the Smartwatch 2, and if yes when, cause I think we will, but it will be after Sony launches the Smartwatch 3 (or a bit before that at least, seeing how it was for the Smartwatch 1)?
I've only had the watch 12 hours or so but something I'd like is a watch face with seconds. I need it really for my job. I'd like to see the music app tweaked a bit too so you can choose between players at least.

In the music player smart extension click menu, also the seconds thing seems like it could be useful sometimes, and also they should update the curent watch face with date to make the writing bigger in my opinion, and perhaps a option for a secondary clock with the option to set a secondary location (I have that on my phone using the xDualStatusClock Xposed module so I know what hour is for a friend in the USA so I know not to distub him at night)
I just want the
battery percentage!! (of the watch of course)
my wishes (and i think the watch shouldve had this from the start):
-selectable screen timeout (5-30 seconds, in 5 second intervals)
-user defined/designed watch faces
setting the standby screen brightness is impossible i think, because the backlight is off, so there is no brightness to set

Yah, but I would like the option to turn it on and keep it on all times.
battery pertenctage %
I would love to see a weather clock. Every other smartwatch out there has this except the Sony ones.
Also a larger sized digital clock with black on white maybe with date would be nice too. A better music app could be nice too. Especially with the ability to del with the playlists.

AFAIK playlists are generally a proprietary feature of the music apps.
For Sony to deal with all possible music apps out there would be fairly impossible.
But there could be extensions that are specifically dedicated to some music players and that include playlist management.

Sony xperia Z3 Dual D6633 Android 5.0.2 Build 23.1.1.E.0.1
Hi there,
Upgraded my Z3 to lollipop last week and, despite the fact that the upgrade itself was flawless, I think I went from a device that used to work like a charm to one full of annoyances.
On day #1, noticed the batt drain skyrocket. 3h after disconnecting it, it was at 68%, half way through the morning. WTF? was my first thought. On a typical day on kitkat, I was able to end the day at 40% at least.
The second thing I´ve noticed was the phone app. It starts giving me errors, saying that the "network could not be reached" when I try to dial a number. If I insist for 4, 5 more times, it crashes. Dialing is only possible again if I reset the phone.
The third thing is the lock screen. It seems that lollipop has a drop down menu that makes it possible to enable/disable lots of things, like communications and even setting the phone in airplane mode. Imho that´s a huge liability / security risk and it appears that there is no way around that.
Still about the lock screen, it seems to have a bug: if you have any activesync account setup, not notifications will show up, no matter how you configure it (to show all or hide sensitive content).
So, I had only one thing to do, after reading forums etc... factory reseting it.
Surprise! All problems are still there.
Does any1 have any tips on those?
Thanks in advance.
There will be a widget on one of the screens which keeps refreshing itself and I found that to be the battery killer on my 6603.
Did you use any specific app to pinpoint the culprit?
1. It is possible that the battery levels are calibrating and will be imprecise for a while after the update, using the device normally for a couple of days will fix it, or at least this is what I observed in many phones I owned.
2. This is very weird and I can't help you with. If not even factory reset did help you may have some corrupted data on one of your contacts maybe? Try to make a thread about this issue on the Sony forum.
3. I noticed that as well, but even on pervious versions you could turn off the phone so I don't think it changes anything. Make sure to disable the multi user options that would allowanyone to add a new user from the lock screen.
4. Another weird thing, I use exchange accounts on my phone and I don't have any problem on mine. See point 2.
Under
settings>sound and notifications>when device is locked
Set to hide sensitive notification content or don't show notification content at all.
This should fix lock screen displaying email notifications from your exchange account.
Also, unlock phone, pull down notifications, pull down again to reveal quick settings, hit the edit button (pencil) and remove icons but clicking and holding and drawing them to the top. Unfortunately this removes them even when phone is unlocked but of your worried about unauthorised toggling of things on off its the best you can do I think.
As for battery drain, check the battery usage in
Settings>power management
Make sure stamina mode is on, toggle it off then on to make sure.
Select battery usage and check to see if any apps are using more than they should. Make sure brightness is set low but enable adaptive brightness under display settings.

That's not a smartphone anymore, with all functions shut down and brightness low.
This phone has the best screen, use it at least 50% brightness.
I have no issues with the brightness down. It bumps up nicely in brighter conditions and will even max out in daylight. If I ever need it brighter then it's easy to boost temporarily. It's a small price to pay for nearly 24 hours of battery with 5 hours screen on time.
I never mentioned shutting down functions. The only thing I mentioned removing was the toggles that concerned the op on the quick settings. Removing mobile data and aeroplane mode from quick settings hardly cripples the device, I never use these anyway.
I don't think it very useful that there's not more customisation available here such as a complete set of separate lockscreen settings. But if all you can do is comprise then what else can you suggest?
I don't think unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom ROM is something the op wants to do.

You said stamina.
Stamina means already some functions off.
Update:
1. Batt drain
Remains without an explanation. My daily use profile is basically the same as before the update. 3PM and I am at 28%, with stamina on. I can´t recall a day, running kitkat, that I would hit the charger at night with 28% of batt remaining (and I still have 4h to go). It was always on 40% ish. GSAM is reporting that 47% of the batt drain is caused by apps and, from that, 30% is represented by android core apps + android system + kernel. I might be wrong, but I think it is related to reindexing, contact + agenda sync etc and it will probably get lower eventually (I hope!)
2. Phone App giving errors
I think I have isolated the problem. It seems to be caused by TrueCaller.
3. Lock screen
Regarding the drop down menu, It is clear now that what I think is a problem is, in fact, by design and there is no way around it without rooting. But regarding the notifications, I just removed both activesync accounts and I started getting notifications in the lock screen again. So, my guess is that there is a policy of some sort that is being interpreted by the phone as it should hide all notifications from the lock screen.
In fact, there are lots of things that got blocked / disabled because of those policies. Here is a list of things that were disabled and now appear to be working again, after the removal of the activesync accounts:
. notifications are showing again in the lock screen;
. smart lock;
. screen lock options (none, swipe, pattern);
note: I thought that I would be able to enable services in Accessibility, like LastPass or App Advisor by Norton, but it still does not work (I try to enable any of them, but pressing "ok" on the warning dialog does nothing and the only option working is "cancel").
Thinking about resetting it again...
Hi, if problems are persistant you can always downgrad software at KitKat by using FlashTool and wait Lollipop 5.1 (5.1 will probably solve many problems).

A new firmware version has dropped for the Z3 which I think fixes your issues with notifications.
I received it OTA yesterday, I'm running the Balkans customisation.
Thank you for the tip! I hope it does! Will keep it posted here just for the reference. I am starting to feel other "symptoms" as well, like bluetooth instability (you pair a device and it stops working, have to pair again).
.
Just hit another weird thing.
I am not being able to create a new vpn connection. I am trying to use the PureVPN and IPVanish client software, but when I try to setup the conection, I receive a disclaimer, saying that my traffic might be monitored, with a "CANCEL" and "OK" options. The OK doesn´t work, only "CANCEL".
My device is encrypted and I have also noticed that I am not able to decrypt it.
Also, If I go to Accessibility and try to enable a service, the same thing happens: a disclaimer appears, saying that the service might observe my actions, with a "CANCEL" and "OK" options. The OK doesn´t work, only "CANCEL".
Any ideas?
Ok, just a quick fup: the ability to create VPNs from apps is disabled if you encrypt the phone. It seems that if you create if before encrypting, it won´t be disabled; but you wont be able to create a new vpn from an app downloaded, after encryption.
Regarding the Accessibility > Services, after a *lot* of research, I have found that Twilight was the culprit. For the reference:

I have big concerns of consumption of battery with this application
Am I the only one?
You have can be trick?
Thank you
Some watch faces are too bright or consume too much battery in their always-on state. Try a watch face that has a dimmer always-on state, or take your favourite watch faces, and change their always-on state to have higher opacity.
I made a dial I same, quite black
I am going to try a reset of the watch, seen that nobody confirms me the same problem
I use this app(watchmaker) and consumption with always on display is approximately 25/30 % per day.
Wifi is switched off , Bluetooth used when needed.

Either some functionality on your watch is disabled or something is wrong here. No way, watchmaker can beat stock watchface. I loose 45-55 percent a day with stock gear dashboard watchface. AOD, wake-up gesture, shealth features and bluetooth on. Wifi auto. NFC, bt connection notifications off. Using GPS occasionally. Without AOD i can easily get 3 and a half day. I've never saw anyone claim to can get more than 2 days with AOD on on the forum before, so this is really confusing.
You can believe or not, but for me the battery consumption with watchmaker is lower than with stock Watchface. it is also true that some Watchface consume a little more, but we are talking about up to 10% more per day, i start to use Watch at 10am and remove Watch at 23pm,all' shealt notification on,wifi off,gps off, Bluetooth when needed,AOD always on,screen brightness 7. When use stock Watchface i lose 45/55% of battery per day.
I think I may have worked out what is going wrong, perhaps one of the developers can confirm,
under ‘my watches’ I have a number of other whatchfaces that I have downloaded, these aren’t selected on my watch but are there as an option, where as the chosen one only has basic functions, the others all have fancy meters, data sourcing apps - after deleting these from my phone and checking they are not available for selection on my watch the battery life seems to be normal, I wonder if the other watch faces are in some way working in the background and therefore draining the power even though I am not actually viewing them
It is Wi-fi connection what drains LOT of power. Be sure it is turned off when not in use to keep your power as long as possible.
My first Samsung mobile and the first with punch hole camera display. I was using pixel 2 till now, and first thing I miss is notification light (definitely after squeeze, my favorite pixel feature).
Trying to find an app which can 'efficiently (battery friendly)' use Always On Display capabilities to provide notification LED like functionalities (can be paid also).
I have found below three (other suggestion are welcome too)

just saw the thread for the app, will give it a try. Thanks
Like you, I went from a Pixel 2 to a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and missed the notification LED too. I have tried three different apps and found that having to work within the Samsung/Google hardware/software environment, these apps are forced to rely on the built in AOD subsystem with its limitations and requirements. This forces a simple function, blinking a small preset screen area if and when a notification arrives, to use an exorbitant amount of battery power. Between the app and the AOD subsystem, they can easily use 10% or more of the available battery charge per day. I am still tinkering with AODNotify to see if I can possibly reduce battery consumption, but I’m not too optimistic. I have submitted a request to Samsung, asking them to add this functionality to their software, which would probably solve the battery consumption issue. I am waiting for their response to my request. I have an S22 Ultra on order and one way or another, I would like to have LED notification functionality on my new phone.

Thanks for this detailed reply, would be great if something like this basic functionality is provided out of the box.
Exactly, one would think that for their top of the line phones it would be a no brainer! BTW, in the AODNotify app, in the settings there’s an option where you set the notification duration, how long you would like the notification to blink on the screen. There’s a warning there telling you that if you set this much over 5 minutes I think it says, that you will notice a big impact on battery consumption. Five minutes is way too short for me!
Another vote for aodnotify, I have used this on my S20 Ultra and now on my S22 Ultra. It is not a battery hog, and I really don't see much difference on battery usage. Keep in mind which display you choose and their duration.
