Automatic Speaker Phone + Profile Question

Hi,
I noticed when I had the O2 UI set up (following a standard hard reset and choosing home user) there was an applet called Profiles. I have since hard reset again and chosen corporate and no longer have the side or bottom tabs on the today page, but notice that there doesn't seem to be a profile manager or profile app, does anyone know of any software you can use to have different profiles?
The reason I want it is so that I can set up a profile for use in the car whereby all calls are automatically set to speaker phone when I answer them, is this possible too?
Cheers

You should try phone alarm by pocketmax. It does exactly what you want!

thanks, I'll give it a try

Location based phone profile app

Back in the early days of my first XDA, I had an app that could change phone profle (ring tone, voulme, vibrate etc.) based on location triangluated from phone masts.
Very useful for automatically changing the profile to suit office/home/pub etc.
Does anyone remember what it was called and where it can be found?

Only one I am familiar with is Phone Alarm but it gets it's location from the Tower ID www.pocketmax.net may not be the same as you are taling about?

Goodlink and Automatic Profile Switching Issues

I've had to install Goodlink on my Hermes which the admins have set up to automatically lock the phone after 20 min. You then need to type in a password to access the today screen.
While my phone is locked, profile switching using Phone Alarm or any other automatic timed profile switch programs (Phoneweaver, PWM, Profiles for Windows etc) refuse to switch the profile unless the phone is manually unlocked just before the profile is switched. It's as if Goodlink locks all application activity when the phone is locked.
However it doesn't prevent Windows Mobile App alarms such as SMS, Phone, Calendar, Tasks waking up the phone and ringing but for some reason the profile switchers refuse to work.
Given that I've tried several profile switching programs (I'm a long time user of PA by pocketmax but tried all the others), I'd love to know if anyone knows any hacks that can help get around this issue with Goodlink. Any hacks to get around the phone lock would be much appreciated
Any suggestions?

Hi,
You can get around the Goodlink mandatory locking by changing a registry setting.
Use your trusty registry editor and look for "ITLocked" and set it to 0.
After that goto Settings -> Lock and tick off "Prompt if device unused for".
You may need to try a couple of times as Goodlink will keep resetting it to 1.
good luck!

Cerberus Anti Theft App ----> FREE

i was surfing around and found this just now
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus
Cerberus anti theft app which is now free for the next x amount of hours.
http://phandroid.com/2014/04/24/cerberus-3rd-birthday-free-license/
Cerberus celebrates 3rd birthday with free licenses for the next 30 hours
Despite a little security snafu a few weeks back, we still think Cerberus is one of the better security applications on the Google Play Store. To celebrate their 3rd birthday — and their new 2.5 update — Cerberus is giving free licenses to users who install their app over the next 30 hours.
Simply sign up for a new account, and you’ll receive an email notifying that the license for your account has been activated for free, for life. For those unaware, Cerberus offers a little more functionality than Android Device Manager alone. Here’s the feature list:
Remote control through the website www.cerberusapp.com
Remote control via text messages
SIM Checker (for devices that have a SIM card): you will automatically receive alerts if someone uses your phone with an unauthorized SIM card
Remote control allows you to perform many operations on your device, like:
Locate and track it
Start a loud alarm, even if the device is set to silent mode
Wipe the internal memory and the SD card
Hide Cerberus from the app drawer
Lock the device with a code
Record audio from the microphone
Get a list of last calls sent and received
Get information about network and operator the device is connected to
And much more!

played around with it. location wise quite accurate, can snap a pic and i even send threatening messages to myself. but overall i think its quite a good security app even though i wont be seeing my phone if it ever gets stolen but then at least i can post the perpetrator's face all over reddit .

Auto-rejecting Withheld Numbers (need turning off)

I've been having a problem with my Galaxy S10+. It's automatically rejecting calls from withheld numbers DESPITE the relevant setting being turned off.
I'm asking if there's a simple way to find out if there is possibly an installed app that is taking over and rejecting calls from withheld numbers? or if not then where is the overriding setting? I need to be able to accept calls from withheld numbers, for calls from doctors, etc. who don't have any option other than to call from withheld number due to switchboard.
Built-in call blocking (Phone settings) is powered by the hiya app, which I also previously had installed separately but have since uninstalled it with no effect. I can't think of anything else that may be overriding the call auto-reject setting?
Can anyone help?
Is there a way I can view a debug log for this event?
Edit: I should mention I am on the Sky Mobile VMNO (runs off the O2-UK MNO) but the phone is still running the H3G-UK firmware that I received it with.
