I'm looking for a program that I can program to turn off the phone funcion on my HD at a predetermined time, and then turn it on without asking for pin code.
I searched alot on internet and here in this forum but I found nothing.
Thanks for the help.
Inesoft contact application does that I think.
SPB Phone Suite does it.
Enable automatic rules, and setup the "time base" mode as you wish.
i use it to turn the phone off at night and open it in the morning.
For that purpose I am currently using SKSchema which must be the most powerful scheduler for the WinMo platform out there.
Be warned that it requires quite some trial&errors depending of your final objectives but if it stay with shutting down the Touch HD, that will quite easy to configure even for the casual tweaker.
Try this free software:

Hi Vanstra
how did you use the GProfile to schedule the phone to shutdown and boot up daily at specific time ? coz i was fiddling with GProfile , it can do time based events , but i couldnt find a way to tell it to shut the phone down
i was also looking for such a program.
The best for me and easy to use is RadioScheduler.
You can use it for Network and Bluetooth Control at special time.
Pin can be set, so that the phone automaticly turn on.
If you are looking for a prog for automatic softreset at time then use ResetScheduler. (but no support for saving PIN, i use may sim-card without PIN)
I'm using rk-sleep. Doesn't always wake the phone up though.

Folks,
Does anyone know how to disable WinMo's Autoclose feature on the Rhodium? It seems as soon as I have a large number of programs running on Stock Tmobile WinMo 6.1 it starts to automatically close down some, which is a problem.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
This can be done with Advanced Config tool. Under "HTC Task Manager" you can disable "Autokill".
However, I have no doubts that this is a bad idea. Your programs are closing because they're using up your available RAM. So if you disable autokill, your device will most likely just lock up and you'll have to soft reset.
Thank you for the note, has anyone tried to disable this function, will it really freeze the device under high usage?
I tried to open as many application as possible and got up to around 80% CPU usage before the application started closing automatically, but I feel I can squeeze more out of the device by disable AutoKill.
Any thoughts?

Haha, seems like you might want to talk with this guy.
It also happens with my Hermes and Raphael..
It also happens with my Hermes and Raphael..
My Hermes (Dopod 838 pro) running official WM6 ROM
My Raphael (HTC Touch Pro) running stock WM6.1 ROM (Version 1.9)
It's a big problem, I can't keep my Twitter,downloader, and Messenger app to run at the background..
I have disabled the "auto kill" in HTC Task Manager with "Andvanced Config"..
I also have change the "memory thereshold" to 0 MB, then tried 1 MB, but the problem still there..
And this guy.. (me..) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575663
Yeah, sucks. I dunno if the Rhodium sudddenly launches a bunch of programs every X minutes? Where would that be besides in the notifications? I have lots of calendar entries, so kinda difficulty to look through that on my Tilt 2.
I can get mine down to 23-24 processes (minus a few standard things, but plus arielbattery, s2u2, a couple misc things) so one would THINK that gives you 8 or so free slots so if you're just running 2-3 more things no problem but that's NOT the case.. It seems like no matter what if you're running a few 'large' things, something goes.
In my case, I run Flexmail from 0800 to 23:30 and if I run 1-2 more things, Flexmail exits. Very annoying. I once wrote a Mortscript to detect this and re-run Flexmail, but guess what happens... Flexmail runs, one of the other programs exit. Sigh.
At one point I disabled autokill, reduced some memory cache stuff, etc... Nothing helps unless I exit several of my background apps and free up more slots.
Anyone know of anything that could monitor background processes, like battlog does battery info? Like it'd be interesting to see a snapshot every 1s of number of processes running or something.. be interesting to see if it's 22,22,22,30,22,22 all of a sudden.
BTW, I don't run TF3D, I run my Today screen stuff I did in 6.1.. PocketPlus, PhoneAlarm, GPSToday, PocketWeather, TodayAgenda..
I never had these problems on my Tilt, as I describe in my thread above.. With the same number of processes at 'idle', but with only 25-40M of ram free vs my Tilt 2 at 70-85M free my Tilt 2 drops programs constantly.
If I didn't see Flexmail exit (not *crash*) I'd think programs are crashing and there's some serious OS bug or something but Flexmail clearly cleanly exits..
Very effing annoying, I'm hoping someone can figure this out at some point. Perhaps I should try a cooked ROM, although otherwise I have no problems with my current ROM.
First off, I am rooted with the "unrevoked" method. I have notice that my alarm clock only goes off sometimes. I cant figure out what the pattern is. This is my 4th android phone, so I know how to navigate and set things up. I have it set for Mon-Fri @ 6:05am w/ a stock alarm tone (light).
I am back to using my regular house alarm clock with the blaring radio. Anybody else have this problem?
Do you use a task killer? If so, you should set it to ignore the clock. It will kill the clock and prevent it from going off.
Better yet, find a way to do things without a task killer, but that's my two cents. You can use a task killer if you so desire.
Thanks, I actually was using task killer. Why do you say not to use it?
I don't use an automatic task killer simply because it's not needed, at least not for me. I have plenty of RAM available at all times and this way I don't risk killing off something important. The only time you should need to kill a process is if it is misbehaving by using lots of data or CPU time or not properly going to sleep. Otherwise your phone will generally be faster with a lot of ram in "use" because it's being cached and can be used by other programs. For more information look up how Linux handles RAM.
Hello, i'm looking for a simple app that logs cell-id every 15-30 mins, even when the cell is in standby (i'm using wm6.5) i'm searching that app from a year and i haven't found nothing useful.
I need to keep a log of where i have been, but i don't need the precision of the gps (and the power cosumption) the only program that is nearly useful is commmgrpro, but it doesn't store anything when the phone is in standby, actually it have a function that wakes up the phone, but i don't like that the screen flashes every time that it works.
Anyone know something like what i'm looking for?

you might like to look into my app LocationAware(link in my signature)... it is not exactly what you want but it might be better. you can configure it to capture and store all the cellids configured interval can be 2-60 mins and then there is a desktop app which will generate a map from all the locations you have visited.
feel free to post a query in the related forum
thanks,
Mohit
thanks, i'll try it it seems very intersting,
thank you again
Anyone here using it? what is this app for? is it worth buying? does it give u battery life? im really interested but i cant find no videos on it on youtube. please share your thoughts.
It is worth every penny. The best app for android IMO. It is not very easy to master it, but even the basic stuff has made a vast difference too the behavior of my phone.
For example, I have extended my battery life to 38 hours simply by having it automatically go into airplane mode between midnight and 6am.
It will turn off wifi, back screen brightness down, change screen timeout to 10 seconds and give me a notification popup and sound when my battery drops below 15%.
It will turn on gps when Wavesecure is activated, something Wavesecure can't do by itself.
It will turn my ringer off when I get within 200m of the two cinemas I go to.
It turns wifi on when I get home, and off when I leave. Same for work.
It loads my music app when I plug my headphones in.
Tasker can make widgets! I have one set up to (with one press from my home screen) turn up screen brightness, turn on gps, turn up speaker volume to max, wait 2 seconds, then launch google navigation. It will then turn everything back when I exit out of navigation.
It will, on weekdays, text my girlfriend at a certain part of my journey home after work. That way my dinner is ready when I get home!!!
I would say try out the free 1 week trial. There is even a wiki and web site with extensive instructions and examples uploaded by other users. You can also import profiles as well as create your own. The really handy ones I have exported to my sd card, and e-mailed them to a friend when he bought Tasker. Not sure I helped him though as there is a steep learning curve for this app, and it is worth being patient with it to learn its ways for yourself.
I think it is worth much much more than the asking price.

wow sounds sooo nice . i already bought full version yesterday but havnt even opened the app once . well i did open it once it seems hard to understand lol . so for all this task does the gps need to be on? or not? and can u turn off 3g?
You can turn off APN, but don't think that works well in the UK. Sorry, my knowledge of 3g is limited.
Basically, you can have tasker turn on and off nearly any feature of your phone that your want. There are two sides to tasker. The "Profile" and the "Task".
I have found it is best to first set up the "task". Say you want to save battery power at night. Select the task button and select "new". Call it "power save" or something. Select the + symbol and select "Net". In this menu, pick "Airplane mode" and select to ' on'. Then hit ok, then save.
Now to create the 'Profile' where you define the contexts that will activate the "power save" task you just created.
Select 'new' then select the 'time' context. Enter the time you would like to have your phone go into airplane mode. After hitting 'ok' it will take you to the profile page where you set up what now happens between the times you just specified. From the drop-down at the to of the page, select the "power save" task you created earlier. Hit 'ok'.
Done. Your Tasker will now shut off all your radios between the times you entered.

Worth every penny. I use it to:
- turn on GPS for programs that need it (turns back of when editing the program)
- turn notifications off when starting desk clock
- change volume when connecting head phones
There are endless possibilities, try it and then buy it.
i've bought it for little things but want it to be able to handle 3g data which it doesn't
i,e turn on wifi, if no conn after 10 secs, turn on 3g, auto sync for a min, then turn data off.
works fine and dandy with wifi, but not 3g.

You need APNDroid to disable 3G.
tasker really is worth every penny!
Wort every cent. Must have
I used to check periodically (every 3 minut) if my car Bluetooth near. If yes connect and and hold on the connection. If disconnect wait 15 minutes and seek again... save really battery... fantastic...

Wow sounds like you have a good understanding and has some good stuff. I don't know if you can, but I posted a page where maybe people can leave profiles for those of us who are a bit more chronologically challenged.
This is the greatest
I use tasker for everything. I am very forgetful so I have it pop up astrid tasks when I leave the house or work. The quiet mode works well for work and there is even a way to auto check in to foursquare.
Worth every penny, it makes your phone 10 times better and is a must have app.
I have profiles that do the following:
-During work hours and within range of the office set Vibrate, turn off wi-fi.
-When within range of home turn on Wi-Fi
-If at home after certain time in evening go silent
-When leaving car (detected by bluetooth connection to stereo), store time and location. Have icon on desktop to retrieve info and show on map to find car.
-When on call (by checking diary) if a colleague calls always ring regardless of silent.
-Say caller/texter name
-Send magic packet to wifes phone to report location and show on map (handy when shopping)
Plus many other scripts....
I find that this program has a pretty high learning curve...
Is there a wiki I can read up or a way to import other people's profiles?

Using "Cell Near" instead of GPS
I was using Tasker to turn WIFI on and off based on GPS locations. However, I found an alternate method that does not use GPS calls (and waste battery use). Instead, I am now using "Cell Near" to find the cell tower near home and turn WIFI off when I am not within distance of it.
I have posting walkthroughs of all of the most useful profiles I have collected. Check it out at http://dbilliter.blogspot.com
Tasker rules my phone... With all the taks i made.... Love the app!!!
You can do almost everything if you know how to use it... Little variable programming and your phone will get his own life haha...
GREAT APP
