On my iPhone, I have a mode where I can keep my phone quiet during the night, so text messages etc. don't wake me up. Is there something similar on the Nexus 7? Is there an app that does this or some setting?
Thanks,
Jon
There are a number of free apps that do this. My personal favorite is Timerrific.
I just turn off the wifi when I go to sleep.

Have you tried Settings > Sounds > Quiet Hours? There are a number of options for setting the time you want your tablet quiet and which notifications and sounds are disabled.
EDIT: Oops, it appears that Quiet Hours is a CyanogenMod feature.
Now you know its not good to feed the iTroll

What about something like Tasker, or is that a lot more convoluted than using something like Timerrific?

Tasker will certainly get the job done, although I don't think it's nearly as user-friendly as Timerrific, plus it's about $7 last I checked. Unless you need something like GPS-sensitive profiles, Tasker is overkill for what you need.

I turn on Airplane Mode at night... Saves the battery and nothing bugging me at night.
I find that the button above the volume controls work quite well.

I like an app called "Shush!". Works great for other times you want to silence your device, such as meetings, and don't want to forget to turn the sound back on after.
Volume down button maybe
What is wrong with just turning the volume down button to mute...
If you get screen turning on just turn notifications off..

Bingo. Why do you need an app to do something so simple? Do you need an app to turn the bedroom light off at night, too?

It's the convenience and reliability. I don't trust myself that I'd remember to turn the volume down every night. And I hate to be waken up by a spam email in the middle of the night.
And what if you want to use your device as an alarm clock, or listen to podcasts as you drift off to sleep? Huh? Huh?

Turn notifications off.. Alarm clock will still work.....
You never said that in your first post...
Good Luck ...
You have an iPhone
Plenty of apps as others have said
OR you could simply turn the volume down... Simples

Hi guys, I am wondering if anyone has done an app for android which can turn your wireless/bluetooth/gps etc on when you are plugged into power, and then turn it off when you are not.
I constrantly get stuck doing this as the power on the hd is @rse.
Anyone know of any apps which will do this?
Something like this would be a step in the right direction...

Get Tasker, it'll do that easy, and so much more!
I've done just that using tasker, so +1 for me on getting that one

Definitely Tasker. It unleashes an unprecedented automation power.
Here are some profiles that you can download and use with Tasker

+1 for Tasker. Highly recommended and will do what you want no problem and more besides!

Thanks to the original poster for suggesting doing something like this and thanks to the guys that mentioned tasker. I've just purchased it, created a profile and its working just how I want it (bluetooth on when plugged in, off when not plugged in).

Yep, Tasker is great, the things you can do with it are pretty much only limited to your imagination.
I have an alarm profile that gradually increases in volume, then snoozes when the phone is flipped (and again when flipped back), when I pull the power the alarm stops and NewsRoom opens (morning paper delivery)... One to put the phone into silent at shutdown (goodbye startup sound!)... One to give the NewsRoom notification a sound also... A driving one that triggers on phone jack and power being occupied - reads text sender and body, autoanswers calls from the missus, puts screen on full brightness, puts media volume to full, opens WinAmp, and turns on GPS! ... and I've only had it for like 5 days or something!
Thank you guys!
Anyone out there having as issue where the sound from the keyboard clicks, unlock and lock sounds, and the dial pad phone calls went almost un-hearable??
I have no current mods to my phone just picked it up started typing and noticed i could no longer hear my keyboard clicks and went on to discover that many of system sounds were quieter.
The rings and other notifications work just fine though very odd this is not the first time this has happened to me with other android devices but typically either a battery pull or a quick reset resolves the issue but not this case.
Anyone with similar issues with a quick fix aside from restore??
I have noticed that when the battery get low sounds and vibration setting get shut off.
Please post questions in Q&A section.

Yep.. You can edit all that in the Power Saver Options. It also will shut down WiFi. Very Annoying.
well i thought that also but my battery was fully charged.
I noticed when I clicked things the clicking sound was randomly extremely low. I went to the sound settings and just played with em for a min and it went back to normal :/
sadly i tried all that stuff and i am getting extremely frustrated

Mine turns off just fine but I've seen that issue on other phones, don't know how to fix it though.
Theres a power saving mode your phone gets into when it reaches 15% or lower. This setting quiets your phone, takes off vibrations, and more thing just to save batt. life, u can change this is settings

Hello all,
I've searched and can't seem to find anything on this.
My Nexus 4 seems to have some kind of glitch (or some kind of feature that I'm just not understanding). Normally I hold my volume button down to get to vibrate/silent. Now when I try to do that, it goes down to the first length but won't drop to vibrate. It simply won't let me. In addition, the phone's volume is really low, and google voice command doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong here? Or is there something wrong with my phone? Maybe some app is screwing with my volume?
hold power button to go silent/vibrate
Happened once on my roommate's. You have an app open that is also controlling the volume and won't let you turn it down. Force stop this app or reboot.

Ugh that's it. Problem went away as soon as I force-stopped the Netflix app. It's a wonderful concept but it's kind of a POS app.
Im trynna keep my power/volume rockers away from constantly pressing it + with the poetic case its awkward.
is there an app that lets you to turn on your screen without having to press the buttons?
For example saying "Nexus" and your screen lights up?
You mean from sleep or from power off?
pgm aka slide2wake, needs kernel support
From sleep

I use "Screen Control" by MYDIGITA, which uses the N10's accelerometer to wake up the device. Just give it a shake. It is not perfect but works well enough.

I'd also look into Tasker app. For example - I'm sure you could make it wake when headphones are inserted, etc...

Last week I changed from using "Screen Control" to a free app called "Gravity Screen Off" by Plexnor, after reading an XDA review. The reason I like Gravity Screen Off more than Screen Control is that it keeps the screen from turning when reader long text as it detects slight movements on the N10. That meant I could uninstall an app I had to used with Screen Control called "KeepScreen". Simply put, Gravity Screen Off does the job of two apps and does it better.
Hi, does anyone know why this would happen? today morning when my G6 alarm rang, I just pressed some random buttons to mute it. Since then the phone is going into Auto Mute. I can turn up the volume but when I turn off the display and turn it back on, it mutes. I don't want to reset the phone

Check in the sound¬ification settings if there is something wrong like the "not disturbing" enabled or something like that

Yes, you can see in this screen shot. I even tried turning up the ringer volume to full and then turn off and on the screen and then I see the ringer is muted again View attachment 4140577

Tried also to enable and disable the not disturb option? The reset may be the only solution, it takes time but you can save almost everything with lgbackup.
Thanks Killua96 for trying to help me. I just found out the problem. I had installed an app noheadsup by Floatify which tried to activate Do not disturb mode every time I turned on the screen. But I didn't doubt the app because I had installed it one week ago, and it just started acting up today. Thanks for suggestions friend!
