Had the moto droid for about a week. Was talked into buying it, not very computer intelligent, so have been battling through trying to get things setup for my liking. I have vertain preferences I would like to have setup for my settings when im at work.school and home primarily. Thus far Ive been doing it all manually which has been a pain, til someone suggested locale app. Not sure if it is the way to go based on what I need so looking for insight, below is how I want my settings: At work--phone/text/emails all vibrate At school-same as above At home before bed time(say midnite)-phone/text/emails all have audio notification At home after bed time-phone can ring, text can have audio notification, but emails I want silent (no vibrate) Is locale they way to go? or any other ideas? thanks in advance
I understand local can have issues if your "conditions" are based on the gps since it can lose signal indoors. I use it based on time to do the very things you are looking for and it works well. Give it a try, what do you have to lose?
The app Locale (free) can do all that for you as long as you keep your gps enabled. (Contrary to some posts, it doesnt hurt your battery all that much, I keep it on and my phone lasts over 14 hours before recharge.
ok, just wanted to give an update for the most part, worked with no issues all day today only problem is that in the evening I had the phone set to ring and I took teh notifications off of vibrate so that they would make a noise (or so I thought when I got email or text) but it made no noises at all when I got an email, or a text does the "notifications" option cover what happens with both emails and text since they both appear in notification section? and if so, any idea what I did wrong? and for the record, my batter life was awful today, only lasted 7.5 hours, but im sure there are more things I can do to improve that
no I didnt mess with that, because all of my "situations" cover all 24 hours a day 7 days a week. so tonight until 11pm it was set to Home Chillin which meant phone rings, and I thought I would get notifications I could hear when I went in and looked at my droid settings outside of locale, it had notifications ringtone set to silent
