Hey all. I have been searching for an app/widget that will create ringer profiles. For example, a low volume level with vibrate off at night, loud volume with vibrate on when outside, vibrate only in meetings, etc. All selectable/switchable via one (or two) button presses. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I use Quick Profiles, from the Market. It let you create different profiles and place shortcut icons for each of them.
A much more complete solution is Toggle Settings, but it is also much resources hungry.

Trying ProfileManager for now. I remember on my Touch there was an app that, when selected from the home screen, would pop-up a list of fully customised profiles. Simple. The widgets in the market (most in the form of switches) all seem to lack the ability to select ring AND vibrate ... it's either one or the other.

Why not try Locale?
also try audiomanager. I know you can do it in the pro version, not sure about the free one though.
But i always hear good things about locale too.

Locale Beta was awesome, worked really well and hardly affected the phone in terms of performance or battery life.
Locale is now resource-hungry and not as full featured. The network location is really iffy (it wasn't in Beta), it costs ten quid, and it just seems slow and buggy. I'm quite annoyed I spent money on it, based on my impressions of Beta.
Does any of these apps allow to set auto-answer on and enable the loudspeaker? It would be great to create an in-car profile!

Anyone able to recommend a good profile manager that doesn't interfere with HTC Sense's clever functions, like turning down the ring volume when you pick up the phone. I tried Phoneweaver, but it doesn't play well with Sense at all...

Just tested with "setting profiles" and the ring volume turns down when you pick the phone. Don't know how it works for the other sense's "clever" functions

+1 "Setting Profiles" by probeez is great, have been using it for a while now and there is no problem (have tried phoneweaver as well, but setting profiles works better imo)
Great - thanks for the tip... I'll try it out...
I was useing SettingProfiles on my Legend, worked great!
On DHD, it doesnt work really good with vibrating. Notification vibrate sometimes after profile change, doesnt work ((
I am useing "ear" now, but there is a problem, when i switch the profile, Wifi is automatically switched on.
I need an App, where you can set vibrate for calls AND for notifications seperately.
I use timeriffic, works great
Timeriffic was ok for a free app but Phone Weaver is my favourite by far. It's been around for a very long time on Win Mobile devices and the Android port is flawless.

Just installed and paid for Settings Profile (thanks for the steer). It does exactly what I want - profile activation by location. Thank you.
PS: No connection - just a satisfied user.
This is the most useful application I tested so far. Try it. It's called Tasker and it is an advanced scheduler by which you can schedule virtually anything.
I used it to schedule phone,gps,wifi, etc. to switch off at night and switch on again in the morning. Also, you can use GPS locations to manage things like volume, services on/off, etc. The best thing with this app is that it is event driven so you can configure actions based on several conditions. However, it is hard to understand how to configure but once you get the idea, it's straight forward.
Try it and share your opinions. 7 days trial

Sounds very good. I was looking for something that can turn on/off my wifi depending on location. And this can do a lot more. I'm downloading to try.

If you're going to use tasker to do things based on location, I recommend using cell towers rather than gps, it should save you a bit of battery power.

Anyone knows of similar app like Tasker but it's free? Am looking for one that can change profile based on calendar event (e.g. meeting/appointment)

You could use Y5 Battery Saver found in the market place
It turns your wifi on/off if you are in the vicinty of any wifi networks that you have saved on your phone
I find it very useful
Is there a way to have profiles like in blackberry? I love my new phone but get a bit confused about the ring and vibrate and was wondering if there was a central place to do this or to create a shortcut?
I want all my messages to vibrate and when I go to bed, I want to use alarm and phone to ring but everything else on silent.
their are different profile apps on the market, search around and find one you like
PS: use keywords like audio/profile/manager
Good luck

What is a good free one to recommend?
No, nothing as complex as setting up specific profile, simple thing like system wide silence yes.
I use quick profiles (its free). But their are countless others on the market, their is bound to be one that you will like
Spark Audio Profiles v2.1
We have released Spark Audio Profiles 2.1 in android market.
Search market for 'Spark Audio Profiles'.
Try lite version, its free with few restrictions.
If you have suggestions for any features, we would love to hear you.

I always find just putting on silent is the most you can do to truly put it on vibrate. Just pull down your taskbar on the top.
Hi all,
Does it bug anyone else that in Android 4.0 (ICS) the ability to unlink the Notification and Ringer volume has been removed? It annoys the heck out of me! At night time I want my notification volume muted, but my ringer volume turned up so I don't miss calls. It has bugged me so much since I switched to ICS that I decided to write an app to "work around" the issue.
UPDATE - ICS Enhanced Ringer Control is now live on the market - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.brianhislop.icsringervolume
So, what does the app do? Well it basically ignores the system sound settings in regards to notification volume/vibration, and uses the settings specified within this app instead. It's a workaround, but it works well!
Usage instructions and changelog are in the 2nd post.
Cheers,
Slopppy.
Brief usage instructions:
After installing the app, open it, choose the volume you want the ringer to be, whether you want it to vibrate or not, then finally check the bottom box to enable it. At this point, when you receive a phone call, it will ignore the system volume settings, and use these settings instead.
To turn it off, just launch the app again and uncheck the last checkbox. The regular notification volume settings will kick in as per normal.
It should run in the background, and should auto-start when you reboot.
Changelog:
V 1.2 (recommended version)
Released 02-Feb-2011
New feature: Notifications! Gives you the option to enable a notification icon displaying the status of ICS Enhanced Ringer Control. Also gives you quick access to the app!
Green icon = enabled;
Red icon = disabled!
Tweaked the way the service starts after a reboot, actually works the way I intended now!
Minor code cleanup, increased the efficiency of the app in a few minor areas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.01
Released 30-JAN-2012
Bugfix - Volume was restoring after making an outgoing phonceall ... not anymore!

I'd try it.
Im on Virtuous Inquisition 3.0 running 3.24 revolutionary firmware.
I'm game to beta test it, as I was thinking about writing an app to do the same thing. You've saved me hours of work, so let's get your app up to prime time
Thanks guys, have PM'd you a download link and usage instructions
Thanks!
Just installed it and I went 3 out of 7 and now maxing it out to 7 volume level. Now how does the app work if the volume is adjusted on the phone via volume rockers? Does your app override this level?
Sounds Awesome man... Also I'd be Willing to try it out for you man...
I can try on my Sensation.

Yep, should work fine jimmy. Basically whenever the phone rings it saves the volume state, then overrides it with the settings you've specified, then restores them again afterwards.

Nah, it's not meant for boosting, just for allowing different volumes/vibration setting for calls/other notifications! The volumes stay within the ROM limits.
Let me know if you're keen to test it though

Don't get me started on an Apple rant ... they tend to go for days
I PM'd you a download link and usage instructions for the app, let me know how you go ... I'm keen for some feedback!
Just a teeny tiny note, I've renamed the app from "ICS Enhanced Ringer Volume" to "ICS Enhanced Ringer Control". I won't change anything in the apk for now, maybe just the app label, but that won't have any affect on anything.
I think that describes the app a little better.
I would like to test this app and give feedback. Let me know if you need more testers.

Hi slopppy, you're absolutely right: this new "feature" makes me totally angry. If You still need beta testers, I am ready to help a bit.
I am on the last ICS Elegancia using a non-branded Sensation XE.
I am just about to get one of these phones but was wondering if it has the ability to switch off calls/notifications at night between specified times?
I believe the S3 has blocking mode and iOs has Do not disturb.
If it doesn't have this ability are there any apps on the play store that people could recommend that would do this?
Cheers

If it does, then it's very well hidden. i can't find such option.

Easy, simple and versatile.
There is an app in the play store called SEER that works like a charm.

Do any of the apps have the ability to set it so one number still rings, as I am on call and need the phone on silent unless work ring.

That's an unethical practice disturbing an employee while on his sleep considering the fact that it's not already work hours. lol! You should know your rights! You deserve a healthy living still you know haha!
Anyways I'm not sure about the HTC One... Don't have it yet but on past HTC Devices there's this feature called Smart Group... You could assign contacts on that group and add options on it like the notification settings for each particular group. And yeah you can configure it to be silent on a specified time or switch ringtones on specified times also.

If you want some serious automation, check out Tasker.
It s not free, and not easy to get used to, but with some perseverence it can do just about anything.
The easy stuff is shutting radios and volume off between hours. Also simple to nominate a specific contact so that person can still make your phone ring.
With some practice you'll get it automatically muting your phone when you walk into your favourite cinema.
Or adjusting settings depending on battery levels.
Or turn your wi-fi on when you get home.
Or waiting until you are on a certain part of your drive home from work and text the wife to say you are on the way, and to get dinner ready! :laugh:
Check out some of the pre-made "recipies" others have made for Tasker than you can download and import...
http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index
Nevermind thought it had a night mode it doesn't
Or another suggestion would be BusyMe all it does it set times to silence your phone. Very simple and work perfect. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fernandodunn.android.busyme.lite
I use an app called power schedule basic which does this as well and is very customisable. You can use it to set silent mode at night, wifi on and off schedules, ring profiles and other stuff.

I think Tasker is overkill (doesn't mean it's bad). I can't judge is functionality but it's just too much work to accomplish simple things. That's why I settled for Llama.
Some ideas, maybe the best if we can accepnt call from some group of contacts such as favorites...
Any idea?

Llama allows you to put your phone into quiet mode but still let calls ring your phone but only from specified contacts. It's not as simple as just selecting your favorites group but you can select allowed contacts.
The reason I sought this specific app was due to Smart Actions on my Razr HD. I loved it but found it was too limited. Llama fills in the gap.
Try I'm sleeping app in store.
