Automatically change profiles at set time — Nokia N95 and N95 8GB

amcneil 06 Jul 2007, 11:14

Hi all

Got my new N95 and very happy with it. However I was wondering if anybody knew if there was any third party software (I presume the phone cant do it natively) that allows you to change the phone profile at a set time.

For example as I go into a daily meeting at the same time each day I would like it to automatically change to silent/meeting profile at that time. Or it could be set to go into offline profile overnight to save on battery power.

It would seem such a useful feature that I was hoping phone had it included but I can't find any thing.

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Hounddog

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes this looks just what I was looking for! 😊

One quick question.

Does it need to be constantly running iin the background in order to change the profiles and if so, does it cause a noticible drain on the battery?

Thanks

I use BestProfiles too, I have not noticed any significant drain on the battery

Once activated it runs hidden in the background and auto starts when rebooting the phone and its RAM usage is tiny.

One of the best apps available.

It is really good and I haven't noticed any extra drain on the battery either. It's easy to turn the program off as well, for holidays etc.

A couple of dollars cheaper 😉

Not tried it but looks quite smart from the screenshots..

It is also very easy to use and very stable. Has many recurring conditions and reads mobile calendar meetings.
