Creating a user profile like flight mode. - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Have been searching these forums for the last couple of hours and can't seem to find an answer.
I want to create a user profile that does certain system changes and actions which is what I believe flight mode does.
In my case, what I want to do is create a car mode (and eventually other modes to suit my needs as I find them) that starts my navigation software and other software and makes certain system changes.
I can perform these several changes manually but I would like to do them with one touch as flight mode does.
If there is a thread that already covers this then please accept my apologies and point me in the right direction.
Cheers,
Graeme.

What changes exactly do you want to make?

Hi and thanks for the interest,
It depends on the use but when I start "car" mode for example, I want to enable bluetooth and disable power saving and start my navigation software. Upon returning to "normal" mode I want to reverse those changes.
I hope that make sense.
Cheers,
Graeme

Try phoneAlarm. You can make few profiles and activate them manualy or automatic (clock, cell tower, busy or free...) And in profile you can enable/disable bluetooth, wi-fi, radio, data, run /kill programs, rotate screen ...

Profiles Manager for Diamond

Hi all,
Just bought a Diamond in replacement of my Cruise.
This Diamond is beautiful and easy to use but I have not fount a profile application to use with.
I need a profile application that can control Bluetooth, rings and notification volume in profiles like cars, home, work .....
I usually used PhoneAlarm but with the Diamond and the touchflo screen, it is not possible to add the today plugin ...
So I have tried an application called PZP and the PZP Menu software that I launch using a long press on button. this application is great but eavy and slow to load...
So I am now searching an application to manage my profiles through the TF3D (why not ..) or with a button on the task bar for example.
someone has an idea ?
regards

...sure: Disable the manila plugin ;-)
You could always remap a TF3D soft key to whichever profile switcher application you decide on?
I've tried PhoneAlarm in the past (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) but now use Wireless Time (http://freewareppc.com/communication/wirelesstime.shtml) which alters my profiles based on the time of day.
Don't think there is anything integrating tightly within TF3D just yet
I'm the developer of PhoneWeaver (I'll don't put the link to avoid it to be considered SPAM, but it is public that beemer=miguel). I think it is the best profiler program in the market and I can tell you as a secret that as long as I have a Diamond as my personal phone, current version works well on it and next version will be fully optimized

I haven't yet managed to find working documentation for WirelessTime. Presumably you need to keep it running and there's no minimise option. I can't work out the configurable time option under the settings that seem to defaulted to 00:10, but it looks like hourly configurable slots on the main screen. I have searched, but can't find a manual, either on PDAInfo, Google, or here. Any pointers in the right direction?
If you are still looking for a tool to manage profiles, here you have
- Profiles for Windows Mobile
I bought it a year before, and they told me I could get 2 more licenses. I have been trying to contact with them this month (in order to get my second license for the diamond), and no way.
So, in the trial version you would be able to configure and programme 2 profiles. Anyway, if you look around the web...

I have created a link to it that I put in the startup folder so it runs on every soft reset. I never have to open the program and it doesn't appear as a running program.
I've not found any docs either, but I've left the time option set at 00:10 because I wasn't sure what it did! On the main screen I've just highlighted what I want to be 'on' each hour, and repeated that for all the days in the week. Been working fine for me on this basis

Hi
At the Diamond, how you change profiles? where you connect it to?
I am using Phoneweaver I have added a button to the Phoneweaver Menu on my Programs tab and when i press that i get my profile list ... works a treat
SPB Phone Suite is nice - and if you couple it with Second Today then you can access all of the home screen plugin options for switching profiles.

Phone Profiles

Hi
I have used a bit software on an older WM phone, that allowed you to set up profiles, but not only change ringtones, volume etc but things like connection status - bluetooth off/on, wi-fi off/on, etc depending on which profile you had engaged.
I now think this would be really helpful again so I can automatically switch bluetooth on for say a car profile so then I can use my handsfree.
I still have the SPB software but was wondering if anybody else out there has seen any other software that does this, and if so what do you think is the best if you have tried several?
Using the search I found a load of threads, this one might help

I reckon its PhoneAlarm your thinking about. I use this for the same reason, auto switch profiles at selected times/or location.
I also like the one touch on/off/selection/over-rides etc, plus a decent scrolling costs/data etc depending on the "skin"used.(some have weather plug-ins etc)
Trial version on web site to try before you buy.

I spose I should note that I dont use touchFlo as my home screen, but a combination of PhoneAlarm/BatterStatus/and standard today items just suits the way I like my set-up.

Change ringer profile from normal to loud?

hey everyone, i have a att tilt and was curious if i am able to change my ringer profile from normal to load like on other windows phone. Ive been searching and i haven't found a definite answer . thanks again steve
You can use SPB PhoneSuit. It has many profiles options and its customizable.
I think you will find this litlle app very helpful. (Phone Alarm) You can set like up to 10 custom profiles your phone, ie Work, Home, Theater. Then you can set it up so that either based of time or ur GPS position, the profile will automatically change. Or you can just make a simple silent profile and loud profile and then manually switch back and forth.

Custom Phone Profiles on Fuze??

Hello. Here is what I am looking for and maybe my Fuze can already do this, but I can not figure it out.
I would like to have more control of the phone profile options like I used to have on my Blackberry phones. Basically I want to be able to make custom profiles.
For example. With my old phones I was able to use an "advanced" feature in the phone profile section to create what I called a "night" setting. When this setting was activated the entire phone was on silent (texts, emails, etc, everything was silent) EXCEPT the phone, which would ring if I received a call. So it was basically a "phone only" setting. This was perfect at night because I would only receive a call if it was a real emergency.
Or let's say I want EVERYTHING to vibrate EXCEPT the phone that I want to ring. On my Fuze I see how to put the entire phone on "vibrate" or "silent", or "normal", but how do I adjust those profile settings if I want to or create new profiles
Is there a program/script/plugin that will accomplish this? Or can I already do it on the phone?
Thanks for any help with this.
i am looking for something like this too so if anyone knows of a program that does this or can make one that would be really awesome.
phoneAlarm from pocketmax.net is the program you want.
You can create several different profiles controlling everything from ring and alarm tones to backlight level to WiFi status and automate switching between each of them based on time, appointment, location...
Though written as a Today screen plug-in, there is a TouchFlo support mode that lets you run TF as well.

dgduris, thank you for the info. I am going to go check it out now to learn more. I am currently using spb Mobile shell. Does it work with this program?
thanks again for the info. I will report back what I find and how it works!
How does phonealarm support TouchFlo? I used to use phonealarm with my 8525. But with my new Fuze, I've been trying out SBSH Phoneweaver. Which seems to be working well enough. It has a pop-up profile screen menu overlay that I set to one of my buttons.
spb phone suite was the answer for me. really a nice program.
does spb phone suite mess with the Touch Flo? and my manila? i dont want to have the entire SPB thing show up in my home screen. I want to it to be like an app where i can just open it and chang I just want to be able to change profie profiles and then close it again.
I believe it will be in your profiles or setting list and it does not mess with TF3D. It works great with my Mobile Shell touch screen settings also.

[Q] Automate setting changes

Hi all,
First thing, if this is the wrong forum to post this in then I must apologise wholeheartedly and ask to be pointed in the right direction.
I have an SE x1i, WinMo 6.1 and Software version R3AA013. I hope I got that correct.
It's a great phone but I'm now finding little improvements that I would like to have to suit my needs.
What I am trying to achieve is to have an on screen icon similar to the enable/disable flight mode icon, that finds out the state of a few certain system settings and change them to an alternative state.
I would like to have a "car mode" icon that, with one touch, enables bluetooth functionality and at the same time changes an advanced power setting so that, while in "car mode" and on battery power, the "Turn of device if not used for xx min" is unchecked.
With a second touch of that "car mode" icon, those settings are reversed.
I am trying to find out (a) is it possible, (b) has someone already done it, (c) could I do it myself?
I could achieve this on my PC as I have had some experience with VB6 about 6 years ago but have not kept up with it or the changes in programming.
I know pretty much nothing about Windows mobile. It seems very similar in some aspects but also very different in other aspects to other windows operating systems.
For that matter, pretty close to the same applies to smart phones as well.
I hope I have explained myself clearly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers and thanks,
Graeme.
