Write a Mortscript to do it.
ehh, that's a bit too difficultf or me..
I think Don'tForget will do what you are wanting.
You can get it from http://dashapps.googlepages.com
Thanks. I tried Don't Forget. But it crashed when it tries to switch to Flight mode.

I will write you up one this weekend and post it here for you.
What times do you want it to switch the radio off and what time to turn it back on?

Bupahs, that's so nice of you. Can you set it to from 9PM to 8AM? It's just a text script, right? So I can modify it later? Thanks!
I think this should fit the bill nicely http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Communications/SleepWell-32308.shtml
There's a pair of programs i use(d). Both by the same company. One will schedule automated events (alarms, shut-off, etc) and the other will record macros.
Essentially you record a macro (choose start at home screen) and work your way into comm manager as if you normally would, and this device will remmeber what you did.
Next you would set an autorun in the second program.
A few things i have noticed..
Doesn't function perfectly when starting in LOCK mode, so you have to fake an unlock by pressing the unlock key and Z, then just press the HANGUP button to make sure it is on the home screen
You have to leave time considering for LAG with your phone, i would give it a good couple of seconds more than it actually takes for each step to make sure it doesnt mess anything up....realize that it isnt remembering your destination, just your keypresses and pauses...
Program has a VERY AKWARD and barely legible font, so trust it!
The auto-run program comes packed with a bunch of automatically programmed alarms and events, so delete them when you install
The names of these programs are:
MacroRecorder and AutoFlight ...both are by CyberHorse i believe

Personally I like a good simple and small foot print Mortscript. Why install two programs to do what a 5k script will do?

Thanks Evi1d33d. This one works great. The only minor problem is the Edit dialog doesn't like my font. Most messages are truncated.
Off topic but does anyone know a free app that let you schedule when the phone turns on/off?
I think it's almost impossible since the phone isn't running anything when it's off.

Sleepwell is great, however, I guess I'm missing something....
I can define the hour to turn on airplane mode... how about turn OFF airplane mode? How this software knows when I want my phone back? I couldn't find any settings to it, or am I missing something
I think I got the picture... you define one setting to turn off, and then define another setting to turn on. Is it? Am I right?
Regards.

There are plenty of apps that perform this and much more, I use G-Profile, this can be configured to turn the phone (GSM part) off (ie put in Flight Mode) at specific times of the day on specific days.
I have mine to put the phone in flight mode at around midnight each night, and then turn it back on again in the morning, I have two sets of these, one for during the week and one for weekends (like to get up later on the weekends )
This app is completely free but if you like it you can donate to the author, there are other apps like this some of them free some not.
Have a search through these forums and you will find quite a few.
Cheers

I use phonealarm, mostly becuase it as an option to run hidden behind TouchFLO. It will also change setting son Location/appointments/time I think a few other triggers. You have to pay for it, but I find it really useful. www.pocketmax.net
Thank you guys. I'll check them out.
I've just received my Desire, and have asked O2 for a new data plan (I used to be on Blackberry). That won't go through until midnight today, and they will charge me £3 mer MB with NO LIMIT until then! So, I need a way to turn data off (apart from WIFI) as soon as I turn the phone on (it's currently charging). I've read some reports of people turning it off, but certain apps turn it on again.
What's the simplest way to do this please, until tomorrow? Thanks!
Hold down the power button until the menu comes up then turn off mobile network.

Ok great, thanks. Yea now I've turned it on, it's pretty obvious.
Is there any chance of an app turning it on again without my knowledge? In some forums people say it can happen, but I THINK that may have been with WinMo.

I've heard of it in the past but not on 2.1, a rogue application maybe but they shouldn't do. It would be pretty easy to notice if you were out of wifi range though as the data icon would appear in the notification bar, your best bet would be to just check on it if you install any app that mentions data in it's software permissions.

Ok I'll do that. I'll also look for an app that'll show me data usage. I know there are some around.
Thanks for your help.
I'm in the same position as you (but my data plan doesn't go live till the 26th! lol), so I set up the phone to WiFi only thanks to the option on the setting screen, and so far it has only connected when I switched on the data toggle. I'll post here if I come across any apps that will connect though.

I've installed a program called NetCounter. It doesn't seem to count Wifi with the Desire (others have had the same problem), but for you and I that doesn't matter. I've got it set to alert me if 'somehow' the phone starts using data from O2. So it's just an extra safeguard. Sorry you have to put up with that until the 26!
I have the same question and I was told APNDroid does it too. Is it better to use APNDroid or the bult-in option?

Just add the widgets for network data, GPS, Wifi to the home screen (I've stuck mine under the clock) easy to turn on and off with single keys presses then rather than holding the power button down. I've also added the bluetooth shortcut but that takes a massive 2 key presses to turn on or off. I've found it useful for saving battery life as well.

He wanted the quickest way after turning it on, holding the power button is quicker than finding and adding those widgets for the first time.
Any devs want to try porting Smart Actions from the RAZR to our beloved GN <3 ?
I purchased Tasker but it's just not quite the same.
I'm sure a lot of people would be pretty excited to have the app on the nexus; it's a pretty f***in sweet app ;p
bump .. nobody? not even curious or considering trying.. or have any thoughts on the matter ? This really is an amazing app ...
Try Tasker
EDIT: Nvm, just read the full post

and i saw you had 0 thanks.. not that it matters, but there ya go XD effort is appreciated
Ha! My first thanks, haha. Didn't really deserve it though..
I thought Tasker had more features than SmartActions. From what I've seen though SmartActions is more intuitive and user friendly. Is that why you prefer it?

Many reasons, and the community have asked for Smart Actions on various devices a lot.
so what is the difference between the 2??
Look into Locale. A lot of the plugins are cross-compatible. It's a slightly different mindset (one that I actually prefer), and IMO the interface is more intuitive. Tasker profiles seem to be more event based (e.g. triggered when I connect to wifi) whereas Locale is more state based (e.g. triggered while I'm connected to wifi).

Heard of it, dunno why I haven't looked into it yet..hm
Thanks, will check it out for sure
Tasker is a massive pain in the ass lol
Edit: Gonna stick with Tasker for now, Locale seems to be too basic (lacks a lot of functions/conditions)
SmartActions .. really jelly of the RAZR for that one thing lol
anyone tried Llama? Still my favourite...
There's also Settings Profiles … it supports Locale-plugins for some weeks now.
last shot at this before I let the thread fade away
...Any word on the possibility of a SmartActions port
thanks.
I too would be interested in smart actions.
I've tried llama, juice defender, and a couple other similar ones. I want rules like when my home wifi gets disconnected, turn on BT (to work in the car), turn off wifi to save power. Once I'm at work turn off BT, and turn wifi back on. The issue I have is llama isn't accurate enough. By the time it triggers I'm half way to work because of the cell tower distances.
Im looking into this as well. I've tried tasker and Im not willing to shell out more money for apps that probably wont work.
I want a few things:
When Im home I want wifi to automatically turn off, when I leave home I want it to turn off.
When I am home I want 3/4g to switch to 2g, and back to 3g/4g when I leave home.
Also want gps to turn on, on its own when I launch mapsm/nav/places.
Any ideas??
Tasker has failed me on more than one occasion and it's just too unreliable to use daily.
Seriously is it that hard to port over an app?
Why don't you just use tasker, you can do almost anything with it. Smart Actions is extremely limiting. Anyone who roots their phone and is truly a power user uses tasker.
If you would like i can make you some profiles.

But I've set up a few profiles and sometimes my mobile data wouldnt be turned back on, or my brightness, or sync..etc ... and i wouldnt notice until the next day...
Thats not good..
You might need to set up exit actions? When the task finishes it runs an action on exit. ie turn back on your data after the time period is over.

Yeah, I did.. thats what I meant.. sometimes, the exit action wouldn't be activated and so I would be stuck on Data-off or sync-off .. etc
weird, cant say ive ever heard of or had that problem unless maybe you disabled the notification icon at which point the OS might kill it.
I have looked through this forum, in the QandA and have not seen anyone post this problem. Is anyone experiencing the issue where your screen wont auto turn off? I have changed display timeout to 30 seconds, 1minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes and so on... display wont turn off on its own. Also, when charging, if a notification comes up, screen awakes, but wont shut off again. Just curious if other users are having a similar issue or if I am the only one. I know this was a problem for S3 owners, but there was no real problem identifying what was causing it. Any help would be appreciated.
Set up as follows:
Stock JB Build
Rooted
Stock Kernel
(Only Titanium app data {not system} restored)
Almost all syncing data set to 1 hour refresh or greater
Smart Stay is turned off
Pattern Lock enabled
I think that covers most bases and options, but if I am missing something, I would love to know.

Thank you for your input. However, I had checked that option, it was not on to begin with, I turned it on, and then off again, it did not reenable itself, but it still is not the culprit. I am baffled right now.
