App to turn on/off sound & screen based on time of day? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

anyone know of freeware app that I can schedule specific times to turn all sound and screen on/off?
thx

Try PhoneWeaver:

Pretty sure the $14.95 charge for it disqualifies it as Freeware (which is what I'm looking for)

Just got G-Profile myself and it seems to work great, just like G-Alarm already does for me.
Regarding KaiserNotification, you should be careful with that one. I used it myself for a while, but at one point it just smashed something, my device wasn't working well anymore and after a hard time with making the backup I had to hardreset.

How to disable LEDs?

I want to be able to disable the flashing green LED, telling me the phone is on. And I want to disable the flashing blue LED, telling me that bluetooth is on, etc. Is there a way to do this without also disabling vibrate mode (which I know has been an issue on some other phones)?
Thanks
Try this reg edit:
Hkey_Local_Machine/Drivers/Builtin/AllLEDMgr
Change the Index value from 1 to 0
Appreciate the answer. Works perfectly. Absolutely no LED blinking
EXCEPT now it won't vibrate at all.
Anyone know how to fix that?
How about KaiserNotifications for this?
http://www.modaco.com/Kaiser-Notifications-t259413.html
Kaiser Notifications (for HTC Tytn II only)
This program allows you to change the way the Kaiser flashes it's LED's when you have a Mobile signal/Bluetooth/Missed calls for the left hand LED, and New emails/SMS text messages on the right hand LED.
By using the right LED for SMS/Emails you can use the brighter blue LED to really get your attention should a text or email have arrived when you were out of sight of the phone.
You can also turn off all annoying flashes, useful for night time or when watching a video.

Sort of for AT&T
^This may work better on the HTC units compared to AT&T. On an AT&T device it does disable all of the LEDs without disabling the vibrate. However, the LEDs are not on the same side of the two units nor do they mean the exact same thing. Finally there appears to be a very strange mapping between the LED indicated in the program and the LED that actually gets affected. Definitely crossed wires a bit, nonetheless, still effective.
Hello!
Have anyone noticed that when disabling LEDs (using this tweak) TomTom stops receaving GPS data? Any other GPS software works fine!
Regards Risto
I installed Kaiser Notifications and it works great!
Ok, I didnt try that. I just tryed that registry setting!

Annoying After-text noise

I'm having a problem with my XDA Stellar. O2 always displays your credit on screen after and call/text in the form of a network message. The thing is i can't find out if you can turn off the sound for these alerts. I've tried changing everything under "sounds and notifications" but it doesn't seem to be in there. The only way i can stop it making noise is to turn the sound off on the phone completely which means i then have to turn it back on before using something like tomtom.
So my question is, can this sound be turned off and if not can the alert be turned off altogether?
Thanks
Perhaps kaiser tweak will help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333898
No, unfortunately as good as KaiserTweak is, it has nothing to help me.
Bump. Does anyone have any idea on what to do about this as it's becoming a serious problem
when the message comes in, which sound does it make?
What im trying to get at is maybe the phone is seeing it as a system even/warning which you can't change through the drop down list but you can disable. Try going to sounds and notifications and on the first page there untick "Events (warnings, system events)" and see if that stops them from making a sound
My wife had this with her 6230i - the solution was to phone O2 and ask them to turn off the notification at their end.

Yeah, thats what I did to disable text message sounds. It works. Settings>Sounds&Notifications>Notifications Tab.....and im sure you'll figure out the rest.
How is this a serious problem? Someone that has cancer has a serious problem.. Anyways, turning off the sent notification in the KaiserTweak didn't work for you? Maybe one of the registry gurus can figure it out.

It plays the "notify" sound. I can turn off literally everything in sounds and notifications including events and programs and it still makes a noise. the only way to stop it is to turn all sound off.

Yeah i think this is what its going to come down to. I thought it was worth asking first incase someone knew how to turn just the sound off.

The reason its becoming a problem is mainly down to TomTom. I havent yet bought an in-car holder as i'm waiting for one with a stereo audio jack, so when i use tomtom i rely on the sound as i cant actually see the screen. Yesterday (and many times before) i needed to use tomtom but i forgot the sound was off. So whilst driving i suddenly realised i didnt know where i was going and i wasnt being told. I'm sure you're aware its not very easy to turn the sound on without looking at the screen so i had to find somewhere to stop during rush hour. Not fun.
I have turned off sent notification but it isn't that thats causing the problem it's because O2 send a network alert telling you your credit everytime you've used some of it.
Thanks for all the responses. I think i'm going to give O2 a ring and ask them to turn it off. If anyone knows how to turn just the sound off though it would be really useful.
well, if its just a problem of you accidentally starting tomtom with no sound.....then i suggest you use tomtom starter
http://www.klaes.nl/
it will automatically change you volume to the max when you start tomtom
Hmmm that looks very interesting. Thanks i'll give it a go.

GPS stop when I switch the screen off

Hi to all,
excuse me if I open a discussion allready post but I tried with the search function and I din't found anythings about my proble.
The last week I tried to log the GPS to geotag same photos that I was shooting.
I used VisualGPSce and all was fine untill I switched off the screen to save battery, it lost the signal till I reactivate the screen, I had the same problem with other GPS utils to log.
I'm pretty sure that before the GSP was logged with the screen off to.
I updated the radio rom, my configuration is.
[Radio ROM]1.56.70.11
udK 6.1 R1 Lizard WM6 OS 5.2.1933 Build 18533.0.7.0)
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.

I have yet to find a solution for your GPS problems in TomTom.
This is what I do to save battery power in TomTom.
1. Turn on the safety feature (example, above 70 kph. It displays a static screen that uses much less battery power than the live moving maps do.
2. Turn down the back light.
3. Plug it into the 12v when in a vehicle.
I use NoniGPS and it is possible to have this app running in the background and switch off the screen to save battery life with a little app called Screen Switch. This app will not work with TomTom.
Hi, thanks for the answer.
I don't have the problem with TomTom but I need to screen off while logging GPS, so you solution could be ok for me, I'll try it.

have a look at PsShutXP. You can turn the screen of with this, there are a few other options as well. Its a free program, and is skinable too!
http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/
off
in tomtom, there is a feature that you can turn off the screen.... it will dim followed by the PDA settings
Thanks to all for the hel and the answers, I tried some ways and some softwares that you suggest me and I discover that the problem is present only when I shut down the screen using the shortcut AE Button Plus, using then same function in HomeScreen PlusPlus UI the GPS don't stop to work.
Thanks again.
Ciao.

Built in lock from WM locks while in a call

Hello to all of you!
Happy new year first of all!
Since a few days i'm using the Built in lock from WM and the Phone Canvas posted here on the Diamond Thread. Previously I've used TouchLockPro, but somehow it didn't work properly for me...
Right now I have a problem with it, I've configured with Advanced Config Tool form Schaps a timeout to lock my device automatically so when I don't touch my device 30 sec or press the power button, It will lock...
But....also in a call or something, which is very annoying because to end the call I have to unlock first AND my phoneskin is gone as well.....
So summarised:
Does anybody know how to automatically lock my phone like it should do, except while in a call??
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards
Jeroen
p.s. mods, if this item has already been discussed, can you please erase this Thread then??

I dont use the built in lock from windows anymore (i used to have your problem). Instead i now use S2U2 (Scroll 2 Unlock) and this doesnt lock during a call. One of the best apps i have on the phone - and its freeware!

I'd rather stick to the standard lock app from WM, because S2U2 is quite big app to load into memory and for me it drains my battery quicker...(at least, that's my opinion)
Thanks anyway...I hope somebody else knows how to solve this.....

Hello,
Please can you clarify your problems? Does the phone always lock itself in a call? What do you mean your phone skin is gone? When did it go?

Hi Dave!
Well the problem is actually caused by ACT 3.2 from Schaps I think.....I've configured the keylock from Windows Mobile to lock itself automatically after a period of inactivity OR when I press the powerbutton to suspend the the device, and after that my phone is locked! But even WITHIN a call, my device will become locked with the specified timeout and will make my phoneskin dissapear and let it go back to the homescreen!
If I want to hang up then, I have to UNLOCK my device and then TAP on the phone icon which appears next to my Signal strength Icon....THAN the phoneskin will reappear and THEN I can hang up the call.....
Hope you'll know by now what I mean...
It's driving me crazy, because I really fancy the automatic lock........
Thanxx anyway

in the advanced config thing or diamond tweak theres an option for lock with "light sensor while in call" or something like that. disable it. and ur set. its annoying as hell, i accidentally played with that feature and it annoyed the crap outta me until i finally found what it was.
in diamond tweak, it should be in the first section of the thing, u dont need to even scroll. i forgot about advanced config cause i dont use it.
edit: option is called "light sensor" but the description talks about it for use during phone calls.

Hi Jeroen,
The problem is not caused by Schaps ACT because that just enables and disables WM features by changing the normal registry entries used by WM.
The problem is some combination of your ROM and your dialer skin not playing nicely with the auto-lock feature. Try removing the dialer skin to see if that helps. If it does help then there may be another, similar phone skin you can use instead.
Ok, I've done a bit more investigation into this issue. I don't use auto-lock normally so I've tried it out. I can confirm it locks during my calls too.
You have a least a couple of options -
1) Don't use auto-lock. You could lock the phone with the left soft key like I do.
2) Don't switch off the screen during a call. There are two settings in Schaps ACT to prevent the screen shutting of automatically and this version of the phone skin has the in-call locking curtain:

Hi Davey101
Thanks for your help in advance! I really appreciate it
I do use the Nosleep!.cab file to prevent my screen from going off during a call, so that would not be the cause....I think I just have to turn off the phoneskin, OR do it manually
Off course...I rather prefer to leave the auto-lock function active, but if it's not gonna work, I have to face it
Cheers mate!

How to stop Diamond from turning on by itself when there is a incoming Text message?

I just want the "ding dong", but let the diamond stay in stand by mode.
Only reason is when the phone is turned on, that the touch screen will do things with its own mind when it is in the pocket!
The latest one is 15 minutes long distance call to my home!
Mmmm...
Yes, you're quite right... this has always been a pain in the ass with WM devices. The new lock-screen on 6.5 has fixed this issue, but unfortunately for 6.1 we have to rely on third-party software to fix Microsofts' oversights!
Try S2U2, which is free, or Pocket Shield, which costs a few dollars, but is well worth it.
I don't know of any tweaks which will actually leave your device in stand-by, but these third-party solutions work well

Thank you. I just installed TouchLockPro last night. After all the settings, it works OK so far. I guess I will try TouchLockPro for a few days to see how it does.
