Is there a way to make my Vibrant change "modes" based on location and time like the MyTouch 3G Slide? I mostly just want to be able to change the ringer mode, for example to make it silent when I'm at school.
Please post questions in the general section.
There is an app called locale in the market.

locale is based on you GPS and or Network location and depending on how you set it, it will mute vibrate or ring... Its great program.
I recently got a Vibrant, I'm coming from Mytouch 3G slide. The one thing I need is the mymodes feature.
I looked at the locale suggested above from the market but its $10, can anyone suggest anything else?
There used to be a free locale. There's also tasker, cheaper and more versatile. I don't know of any fee ones, but tasker has a trial version you can download from their web site.
PhoneWeaver does exactly what you want, and more. I have been using it for quite a while, and I used the MyTouch Slide for a while, and the features and abilities of PhoneWeaver are superior to those of MyModes feature in the MyTouch. $7, but worth it.

Tasker is by far the best I've seen, it also adjusts for many many more scenarios

+1 for Tasker, although it has a learning curve to it (unlike Phone Weaver and Locale), but its functionality is far superior.
thank for the info guys, downloaded tasker & ya has a lot of options to choose from.
Going to play with a few of these & see what happens
I just need something to change my ring tone while at work then at 5pm switch it back

How well do you like it?
I noticed the led isn't flashing with it.
I'm a big fan of handcent- been using it for the past year. I love the customize options it offers.

I have used it for quite awhile and really like. I also liked how you could set you default messaging to it on eclair, however have noticed on the Froyo builds it doesn't give me that option (ie... click on stock messaging app and it will open handcent). I also like the customizations that you can do for each contact along with custom notifications for each contact.

my led flashes using handcent. I really like handcent especially for the popup notifications.
I have been using handcent on my last 2 phones. I have never had any problems with it and I love the high level of customization options.
Used it and liked it a lot. I had to ditch it, though, because when my automated work pager would send out texts, it would show two. No idea why, but it was a Handcent issue.
Big fan of Handcent. I really like the popups. Been back and forth between Chomp and Handcent but have been sticking with Handcent.

I was able to set it as default for messaging icon and swipe to text on call log. Using launcherpro btw

I absolutely do not. I don't see what the point is. Tried it and went back to stock Messaging app. Nothing there for me.
Stock app wastes a lot of space with user pics. Plus limited config options.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Tried it and hated it. Never liked the bubble style messaging. I like the stock better, just seems cleaner and easier to read.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Handcent is great. You can change nearly everything, including the chat style. Chat bubbles are not the only option. There is a style that is similar to, but better than, the stock app. The mms shows up in the chat screen unlike the way the stock app does a stupid slide show. Handcent also backs up your mms, even allowing you to select the back up directory. The popup chat window is also very nice. The ablility to respond so easily is extremely useful. At first, the number of config options is overwhelming.
I use launcher pro plus on my phone. I had handcent on my evo and now on my epic. It is far superior to the oem app on both phones. Remember to disable the notifications in the stock app so you don't get double notifications. The nice thing about launcher pro, other than being much better than touchwiz in every way, is that you can set handcent to default for messaging. This completely eliminated the use of the oem app.
Epicly posted using the xda app!
+1 for handcent. Its rad! Something you don't like? There is a config option to change it more than likely.
Only beef is the outragous $6 price for pro. So many options to reset every flash. Fixed this with mybackup pro data restores.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I've tried both but prefer ChompSMS. Look into both, they're very similar.
My wife and I both love it!
It is just so customizable. The free version has worked fine for our needs.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
After seeing the advice about the settings, I'm sold on Handcent now. Takes a while to deal with all the customization in there but now that I have it looking more like the stock without the bubbles and white backgrounds it definitely is nice. The pop up on the lock screen is nice, and so is being able to select recipients instead of having to type their names. Way more features than stock.
I've use Handcent on any Android phone I've had and love it
Is there a way to set this as default when clicking the Messaging app in the dock on touchwiz? And I don't mean opening messaging then composing from handcent.

Dose any one know of a way where I could set up my phone to where I could set it to have swype when in portrait and a different keyboard when in landscape?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
The easiest thing you could do is use a downloaded keyboard such as FlexT9 or SlideIt that allows you to type in Swype style or standard tapping keyboard all on the same keyboard without any menus. Just tap when you wanna tap and swype when you wanna swype. I do that on one of my phones
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I know I can do that, but I really like using "hackers keyboard" in land scape and swype in portrait. Third would be especially nice if I could do that too on my xoom
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
Ok. What you need is the application called Tasker. Basically, it allows you to run things and change settings based on various conditions of your phone. Its an automation app.
One of the conditions you can choose to use is the orientation of your phone. So in Tasker you would set it to change tthe proper setting (keyboard) on orientation change and it will begin to do this on its own.
That's all I can think of.

I'm sorry it won't let you do it the way you want it to. I just tried it. The only thing I could get it to do was when I turned it landscape, to open up the 'Input Method' options. But that's a pain in the ass. I really am sorry it won't do what you need. That was honestly the only thing I could think of that would do what you want without using a keyboard that does both.
Heu dont get me wrung its a great app that I'm already hooked in.and will be on my phone fire some time to come. I wounder what it would take to write and app that will do it. I have some apps I've made, but most are informational, and one interactive to control my dvr. Gauss il just have to start playing with it

Just noticed that if you open up Shopper and tell it to scan, you can turn on the LED light and effectively use it as a flashlight. I know there are plenty of flashlight apps in the market, but if you are like me and hate downloading tons of apps, this can make your life a little easier.

The widget I have on my homescreen to toggle it is somewhat more efficient but this is cool for those that like shopper and are low on space.

If you're running any of the stock sense rom variants, they should have the flashlight app built in from the factory. If you're running MIUI, it's built in as well from the lock screen, just have to hold the HOME key on the lock screen and it turns on your flashlight =p
No additional apps required in either case, just sayin'
Im running sense ui so there is already a flashlight app built in
Hey guys, I just want to know if there's an app that will change your data to 2G when you're screen is off or when there's no data. Or at least something similar to that. The only time the phone toggles to 3G, 4G or HSPA+ is when you receive an email,browser, etc. Thanks for the help.

App? I just use the QuickSetting panel (note screenshots, I don't have network button on there currently, but its a tile you can add)
PS: far as an app to do it based on behavior (ie: when screen is off). Look at Tasker in the play store. (though *when* you receive an email doesn't make much sense cuz it would already be downloading it before it'd switch modes, and emails don't need 3G speed).
Or if you're using a custom rom, check to see if Profiles will do it (common in CM based roms).

Looking for the simple UX, minimal UI and 100% functionality that Quiet Hours (CM10+) or Motorola Assist (4.2+ on MotoX) provide where there are no notifications, no LED, no vibration and only phone calls allowed during set hours. Both seem seem to be integrated at the system level to provide the user with minimal interruption for the set hours.
Not sure if this is as simple as pulling something out of CM/AOSP or looking at the Motorola Assist .apk or what.
I got $20 on this for anyone who can do it. If anyone else is interested, please add your pledge.
Why don't you just get an app like Llama (can be found on the Play Store) and set specific hours or locations, whatever you choose, to enable a silent profile with only calls coming thru. This isn't that difficult... simple free apk called Llama has done this for me every night since ICS.

LOTS of settings in there. Uninstalled.
If you haven't used either "Quiet hours" or Motorola "Assist", the screen shots attached show how easy it can be.
The first picture is of CM/AOSP "Quiet Hours" settings found in Settings>Sounds. As you can see, minimal in settings and it works.
The second/third pictures is of Motorola "Assist" on the MotoX. The third picture is the first screen you are given, where the second screen allows you to pick how calls are handled. Again, minimal and it works.
I appreciate the suggestions, but these two examples of what I would like to see are what I would like to see.
Before I fell in love with Tasker, I used Timeriffic, which has a super easy layout. I've also run CM, so I'm familiar with those settings, but really Timeriffic is more powerful (without being confusing)

The single biggest function I am looking for is something that allows only for calls (whether the first call or second) to come through during set hours 11pm-6am. Timeriffic doesn't recognize my XPosed framework and thinks that my phone and notification volumes are linked, where I have separated them. Unless Timeriffic can recognize this separation, I won't be able to get it to do what I want, which is to have no notifications between 11pm-6am, except for phone calls.

Here, try this. I made a Tasker app that you install and click the icon and it will set the volumes to the presets shown in the screenshot. Lemme know if you need anything changed, or want another app to revert to your normal volume settings. You dont need the actual Tasker app installed to use this, either.
