Hi there,
Does anyone know of a program that will change my sound settings etc, based on the time of the day?
During work hours I like to have the volume lower, and after hours the volume higher.
Manually doing this has its issues (ie I forget and it screams when I'm in the office).
Thanks
Andrew
phone profiles
there are plenty around phoneAlarm etc
I'm using Profiles for Windows, it automatically change for work, home and nite time
I personally like PocketWeaver
And my preference is Phone Alarm.......
CommMgrPro does it
CommMgrPro does what you want and a whole lot more (i.e., turning on/off BT, Wifi, sound, etc based on location). It $19 and there is a 15-day trial you can download.
phonealarm is a good choose but it must show on today item..
Latest Photocontact Pro (of coz i use it as contact mgr) can set auto profile which i am using with HTC Kaiser Home plug. I'm happy with it now!

Another vote for PhoneAlarm here. It also has location profiles so you can possibly setup profile switching when you're IN the office or IN your house....

i love phonealarm too...but after install HTC Home plug...i need to reduce some space on my today screen and so i give up phonealarm ...
now using photocontacts 5.06 which have auto-profile base on schedule...amazing LOL!
CommMgrPro is what I use, it does so much more than just time of day stuff, it will switch based on your location as well (which it detects through the cell tower you're connected to).
So in an effort to contribute back everything that I have found int he month of using this wonderful Device... I would like to give back to the forum and go over.. everything I have got on my device and why.
Device is Touch HD on the AT&T network (Edge) in California, USA
[size=+1]Applications (in no particular order) :[/size]
ApptoDate : Keeps my applications up to date so I dont have to monitor the various threads to figure out if i have the latest version of the wonderful software that people here devleop. I think it is a SIN for people not to make their apps apptodate compatible.

Prophecy Glass Clock : Very nice glass clock

Useful, thanks.
Quick q: which do you feel benefit in speed terms from being in internal memory?
Did lumos cause you any problems? I read that it interferes with some applications, specifically Opera. Thanks

This may not be the most scientific approach, but my decision factors on what to install to main memory are :
1) If the install size is below 50K, and is a phone related install and not an app... it goes to main memory
2) If its something I need in case my SD card crashes or gets lost... it goes to main memory (e.g total commander, registry editor)
3) If its something that my phone really needs in main memory as suggested by either the application or forums and research, it goes to main memory (.net 3.5)

That is weird, did you also install the sdkcerts.cab file i dont know the process quite well yet, but I do know that was a required cab before doing icons and I beleive also the battery
A bit of a pain in the neck, but might be really useful if you had links to the sites to get the apps.
Okay, I'll bite. Here's my equivalent list (without repeating what's already posted):
SoftMaker Office 2008:
Replacement for Pocket Word/Excel. Pocket Word is okay for minor uses, but if you use spreadsheets as much as I do, Pocket Excel is comically inadequate (especially after the backward steps it has taken from WM5 to WM6).
PhatNotes:
I use textual notes/lists a lot, too, and the built in software in WM does not cut it for me.
SprintDB Pro:
Relational database. I find this to be the best way to maintain my movie lists.
BackCountry Navigator:
A GPS mapping/tracking software based on map downloads on the fly. It gives me peace of mind against getting lost when I'm hiking or mountain biking in the middle of nowhere (at least in those cases where I might have a network signal).
Pocket TOPO:
The pocket version of the National Geographic TOPO! topographic map software. Does route planning and GPS tracking as well. (Unlike BackCountry Navigator, only works with limited maps exported from its own desktop PC version.)
Pocket Stars:
Good sky guide. I can't say I'm even close to using it regularly. But it's still there for the rare occasion when I might need it.
TapBirds:
Bird identification field guide. Do you see a general "outdoors" theme here?
Pocket Player:
I use it mainly for audio books. It has a good resume feature and very good bookmarking capabilities.
AIDEM File Explorer:
Just a free File Explorer replacement that I find capable enough for my own needs, for those occasional cases where the original File Explorer is a bit too restrictive.
TomeRaider:
Book reader. It allows me to carry around with me a whole bookcase of books and reference sources, including an almost complete IMDB movie database and two (count 'em, two) offline full-text copies of Wikipedia. (One is slightly smaller and older than the other but includes images...)
Viigo:
Very decent RSS reader, though it's been diversifying into a ton of other useful features lately.
Calc98:
Much more capable free replacement for the built-in WM calculator. Good for some scientific calculation, base conversions, and unit conversions, too.
DirMap:
Utility for displaying directory subtree sizes. Also features graphic display of space usage. Very handy when trying to figure out what's taking up storage space.
FTP Client:
Very useful when I need to access some file that I don't have with me but is available on the FTP-accessible server I run at home.
Opera Mini:
Always a good idea to have additional browsers handy, for cases when one goes haywire or has specific incompatibilities with a particular website that another browser might handle just fine.
Pocket Gforce:
Poor man's vehicle dynamics analysis tool (G force measurement, acceleration/deceleration, 0-60 mph, etc.) I haven't gotten to play with it yet, but it might be a fun distraction during my next autocross event.
Resco Photo Viewer:
I had bought this for an earlier WM PDA, but it's still got more features than any photo viewing/slideshow software that comes with the Touch HD, so I still use it.
Pocket Streets:
My 2001 version still works with the Touch HD. It's still the most handy (virtually) free offline map software, if you ask me.
PocketLock:
File and directory encryption software. Quite strong encryption. I love how intuitive its integration is. (Double-clicking a file, first launches PocketLock to decrypt, than the host app to open the file. Closing the file automatically triggers PocketLock to ask you whether you want to encrypt it again.) I've been using this on every version of Windows Mobile since "Pocket PC 2002"!
Storage Tools:
I use this to fix storage card file system corruptions, and the occasional storage card defragmentation.
WMStopWatch:
At one point, this was the only free stopwatch program I could find for WM that would not stop when I turned off the device--a crucial requirement when you want to time anything longer than a few minutes.
vxIPConfig and vxUtil:
Some nice old-fashioned free networking utilities that I like keeping under my hand (trace route, port scanner, DNS lookup, ping, finger, whois, etc.).

Hi,
I am wondering about the battery drain after installing all these, can you please enlighten me..... and links to those applications will be appreciated
phone alarm itself is a magical program for preserving battery life. I use it to turn off connections, bluetooth etc etc at various times of the day (don't need anything at night when I'm in bed but I still use the alarm so putting it into flight mode can save hours of battery life for example). I can get my battery to last 3 days or more using this piece of software.
First of all thanks taimoor for this thread good one,

thank you for this info i think i will intall that app
I've been looking for a utility that would automatically trigger events, send sms, adjust volume settings etc, based on the cell-site the phone happens to be in.
I found an old version on softpedia, published in 2006. Does anyone know of a more recent, WM 6.5 friendly version
Originally found: http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Communications/Cell-Profiler-19440.shtml
i too would like to see such an app. I was just thinking that would be cool to have especially to change the profile out of silent mode automatically when i get out of work
Possible g-proile from ageye can do that for you. It is freeware.
http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gprofile/about
Not sure if this is the right place but I was curious about creating a Profile or something to turn off notifications (text msg, email, tasks...) except for the phone? For example on my Blackberry you have a profile to mute all sounds except a phone call, like a night profile. Does this make sense? I know I can manually do this but I would like to click something to change the profile.
There is no built-in sounds profiles support so you'll need to install an application to give you the functionality. I don't use one but see if PocketZenPhone gives you what you want.

Thanks, I will take a look at it. If there are any other let me know.

I tried this and it works fine.
Actually, I tried PZP years ago on my MDA (Wizard), but had forgotten about it. I was missing the ability to quickly/one-button configure ring-tone, volume, etc for different situations (e.g., in the car, at my office desk, at home) -- an ability which is standard on dumb-phones, so I'm glad someone brought this up.
This is an old program, but it seems to be compatible with my WM6.5.3 Manila 2.5 OS -- finger-friendly, even.
Thanks for the link.
You may also want to look at phoneAlarm. Probably the most complete - and complex - WinMob profile application around. But, it actually gives you total control over the phone - including the interface - if you desire. www.pocketmax.net
Here's a screen shot of my set-up...
