After some doubts and sleepless nights we have finally decided to take a risk and change the name of our quite generic Setting Profiles app to something more unique and memorizing.
If you have an idea for a better name please post it on http://feedback.probeez.com.
Make sure that you prefix your idea with newname: so it will be easy to filter out all proposals like this See all proposals for new name of Setting Profiles

This blog got quite messy with support question, new feature requests and just ‘thank you’ messages spread around all possible places in comments.
So as a first step to sort this out we have created dedicated place for new feature requests: http://settingprofiles.uservoice.com/
Support forum for paid users will be added shortly. Please stay tuned.

So far this is most confusing area of our app.
Setting Profiles takes quite different approach to profiles comparing to other similar apps. It allows to have multiple profiles active at one time. And here is typical use case why:
So with multiple profiles active all this three profiles and rules to activate them work nicely together. Since it is possible to be in the office, on meeting and with charger connected at the same time in real world, we do allow three profiles active at the same time in Setting Profiles app as well. Try to imaging how to handle such case with classical single profile active approach…
What happens if two profiles have conflicting setting? The one activated most recently or with higher priority will win. The order in which profiles were activated is shown by small numbers on colored tag left to active profile.

Never had those, but there are phones you can “set to vibrate always when unplugged, and ring when plugged in. Well, “droid does” this as well with Setting Profiles app.
1. Create a profile with sound turned on if you don’t have it already. Let’s call it ‘OnCharger’
2. Create Rule with Battery Based condition ‘battery connected to charger’ and action ActivateProfile ‘OnCharger’
Now you can change your phone to vibrate only mode. With Setting Profiles it will switch sound on whenever you plugged in and restore to vibrate once unplugged.

During create/edit profile make sure to click on Star next to ‘Silent mode’ to include this setting into profile

Verify that onCharger profile indeed turn silence mode off

Create Rule with condition Battery connected to Charger and Action ActivateProfile onCharger

Simply! You define a keyword, the app looks for a calendar entry having the keyword in subject/description.
Combining the Calendar Based condition having the “meeting” keyword with Activate Profile “Silent” action in one Rule automatically switches sound off during your meetings.

The menu on Locations tab might give you some hints. We are still in discussion about how to simplify understanding of “location” concept, so, screen shots and guidelines are coming soon…
Android provides two methods to identify your phone location:
In addition to methods above location can be identified by visibility of specific Wi-Fi access point.

It’s done via “Rules”. A rule has conditions and actions. Conditions define when and where actions should be applied.
A profile can be activated as an action. As soon as conditions are not met, the profile is deactivated.
Here go the steps to set up the rule: “When I’m home 8 PM through 8 AM, activate Silent profile”

Easily! Just create a Home Screen Widget and you can access setting profiles in one click and activate a profile in another!
Imagine, you have unplanned a meeting and want to mute the phone ring, now no need to remember to switch sound back:
just activate the silent profile for 30, 60 ,… minutes and it will be deactivated in specified time.

You can overwrite current sound settings with a rule based on Incoming Call condition.
Here is how to:
That’s it! Now even if your phone is set to mute, it will still ring in case of a call from someone from Contact Group you have set up in step two.
p.s. Yes, you can customize your ringtone for selected contacts group using this condition!
