I recall seeing an application on the market that lets your phone vibrate/silent depending on the time or location. I have been looking for it since sunday... didn't notice the market was so full already. Would any one help me find it or knows the name or even knows any similar apps? Thx in advance.
You might be looking for Locale.

Hi,
I'm wondering to know if you know application to avoid black screen during calls for the HTC Hero.
RucaNebas
Yes. On the app store there is a free app called Shake Awake. It detects the movement of pulling the phone away from your ear and activates the screen. The sensitivy can be adjusted.
Thank you very much for your quick replay Paul.
I installed and it seems to work.
Thank you again.
Do you know where I can find cool applications for our Hero?
RucaNebas
Wow, this works very nice.
Thank you

You're very welcome.
I have so far only installed apps from the Android Market.
Excellent find.
Not working on HTC Hero :-((
Do you know why?
Yeah, didn't work on the Hero. I hope they fix that with the update and also that annoying vibrate when the phone connects. While interesting concept it is really not needed. I figure I know when it connects when the other person says hello.
You can use Keepscreen, there is a lite version ;-)
Hi,
you may use the free app calle KeepScreen Lite, too.
This app lets you choose for which apps you want the screen always stay on.
The Hero uses a specific phone app, whose name is different from google standard phone app ... But KeepScreen lets you manually choose the apps you want.
There are two versions of keepscreen : the free one (called lite), which is 'limited' to standard google apps, and two of user's chose. The pay version is unlimited.
edit : bricabrac : you won this one
Thank you guys.
I'm sorry to back again, but I need to understand your explanations.
Do you mean that the KeepScreen Lite application could be installed on the Hero and activates the screen during calls?
Which is the Hero app name that keeps the screen always stay on during calls?
I had already created a thread with regard to the screen switching off during a call here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547736
Shakeawake doesn't seem to work for all and for those it does it can be unreliable.
PowerManager can be set (in a profile) to keep the screen alive when making a call for up to a minute (specify by number of secs... I think) which gives you plenty of time to get past those 'pick 1 to do ... pick 2.... etc' type calls.
Hope this helps
how do i install this " shake awake" program on my foon! new 2 andriod

KeepScreen
if i'm not mistaken the actual phone app should be named "Dialer"
KeepScreen is now completely free, and has in the free version all functionality
ahm, can anyone tell me how do i turn the screen off again after i awoke it? my ear keeps checking notifications :/
fyi...on my hacked sapphire, keepscreen was a little buggy. it would sometimes still allow dialer app to go dark while on call even with the keepscreen app running as confirmed in both notification bar and running apps. also, when rebooting phone, keepscreen requires restart but that is probably normal. for me, i decided i rather not deal with the problem of occasional face/key-press on long calls and just let the device go dark. i've become familiar with the quick-key presses to handle call-swap, speaker-on, and such...
I have shake awake since a while and it works fine.
Keepscreen is nice to keep applications "awake"
I don't know if this was already asked or not, but I want to change "This phone belongs to" on the lock screen of my Captivate. I searched for the answer with no luck. Can someone point me to a thread, or let me know how to do it.
THANKS!!!
Did you recently load an antivirus program? If so go into the settings and change it there.

that doesnt exist on stock. you must have an application installed that does that
Go into your antivirus that you downloaded go to settings then to remote management, under that folder you will see where you can turn the message off or edit it.

It was from the stupid app the whole time. I didn't even bother to look at the lock screen before I added the AV app, so I didn't realize that app added the message to that screen. I got it though, Thanks for the help!

What AV app is that?
Hello peeps,
I just bought the white version of the LG 4x HD but realized i forgot 1 issue and thats the lack of a notification led.
Now there is this app floating arround on XDA that lets you use the bottom bar but seeing that is a white led thats not really working for the white version.
This got me thinking and i was wondering if someone was able to make a App that plays your notification sound say every 5 , 10 or 15 min.
This would make it sound like you get a message every 5 , 10 , 15 min (whatever you set it up for) so you may not see your notification led but you will hear a sound letting you know you have a new message.
Im not sure if its possible to make a app like this but i would immagine im not the only one that finds a repeating audio warning usefull.
Sadly this coding thing is way over my head and im only good at thinking up ideas but am not capable of executing them and turning them into a product.
You can use the screen on button as a trigger to stop making the sound for example till the next message come in with screen off.
IF its even possible to trigger a repeating sound warning at a incoming message/warning.
and in a totaly ideal world it would even let you choose which apps should create these audio warnings.
So if anyone would be willing to make a working app like this (if possible) im surely willing to donate a few bucks for the effort and i hope more people are willing to do so.
Maybe this is an alternative.

There are plenty in the Play Store such as Missed Reminder, search and find one that works for you.

i tried a boatload of apps but this is the only one that actualy works the wat i want to but its keeping the cpu active (most likely for the countdown) so it drains the battery like a maniak.
maby this is what will make a app like this ipossible as the countdown needs to use the cpu and that might prevent sleep.

Bluetooth allows it to connect to Bluetooth headsets and stuff from the app itself.
Disable keylock to allow you to accept calls from the app even when your screen is locked.
Audio record I'm guessing is to allow you to record from the app? But I'm not sure.
Viber has an SMS system in it...
Think of the others and how they can be implemented to HELP in using the app, rather than spy on you. Also, read all the conditions for all the other apps like it, and you will see that they are all very simular.
Use your common sense man, if it was malicious it would have been noticed officially and removed from the playstore.

Sending photos direct from camera? Pretty obvious really, this Thread is a waste of time and effort, there is nothing malicious there at all. Every thing can easily justified by valid functionality in the apps usage.

Yes, haha. I'm just guessing to be honest with you, but I would say that most of the permissions are common sense.

Yeah it is. There is a legit explanation for these permissions. I mean it's one of the most downloaded apps on the market and only HE decided to check the permissions?
viber

THats on the website googleplay:
Allows the app to take pictures and videos with the camera. This permission allows the app to use the camera at >>>any time without your confirmation<<<<
i dunno you guys being so silly or brainwashed i dunno ? maybe you need to read more carefuly next time before you make fun off things you have no clue about -)

This is the ONLY way camera permissions are granted for an app. So the app developer has no choice but to include this permission whether he likes it or not. The "any time" part is beyond the developers control. Heck even Google Search requires this same permission. View the android manifest for more details. Don't be alarmed.
PS. Buddy I have rolled around in Android. So if you saying I have "no clue about" it is an understatement.
OP thanks for the Warning and Users will decide what they want to set their permissions for their apps. Thanks.
