I'm running Codename Android 3.8.0 ROM, build JZO54K, on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and have set up profiles (home, work, sleep, etc) that are part of the ROM settings but there is no way I can see to have them change on a schedule. I have to manually change them using the profile switcher of the power menu. I did find one way to do it by using the clock alarm feature "When alarm triggers, the profile will be changed to _____", but that's kind of a pain since it sets off an alarm that has to be dismissed. Does anybody know of a way to do it on a schedule, weather by a tweak or mod of the ROM or by an app that will switch the profiles of the ROM and not by creating their own profiles inside the app. Also, If it's possible, maybe by way of a cron job setup to do this.
Thanx in advance.
A lot of people use Tasker. Personally, before I started using NFC tags, I use llama location profiles. It worked really well

Is there any place to change what options are on the Power Control widget? I've found settings to be kind of a pain on this phone so far...
I was having problems setting up Google Voice to control my voice messages. I kept getting "network is not currently supported for automatic set up". All I wanted to do is find where in the settings menu the Voicemail setting was...Why did they hide it in with the "Phone" app rather then in the actual phone settings menu? Took so long to figure that one out lol...
Yeah moving the voicemail was kind of silly. You can customize whats on the power widget by using a app named Widgetsoid.

No really, not a different customizable widget...
Is there a way to change the settings on an already configured Power control widget?
I used to go about adding a new widget and deleting the old one, but that gets tedious.
I thought I found the existing widget settings somewhere when I updated to cm7.2 but now I cannot for the life of me find it ANYWHERE
I just want to choose different brightness toggles, but I do not want to go through all of the data / wifi / sync combos again...

I'm on Verizon and it doesn't support automated setup but when I clicked the help it told me to dial *something and that fixed it right up.

Just use something like widgetsoid. The stock Power Control widget has its 5 toggles and can't be changed.
Answered my question!

Thank you for the answer to my question.. I wish the setting could be changed so you didn't have to install another widget control bar.
Question #2: Is it safe to remove the Original Power Control widget .apk so I can get rid of unused apps?
Thanks!

I set alarms a lot on the fly by using voice commands like "remind me to check food in 7 minutes" or "set alarm for 10 minutes". The problem I'm having is each time I create an alarm, I have to go into the alarm settings and change things like alarm tone, smart alarm >> off, etc. I can't change the defaults, I can only change one time single alarm settings, the defaults are always the same, "Walk in the forest alarm" alarm tone, and smart alarm >> on.
With my Nexus S 4G, I use to be able to press the menu button in the clock app and click a "settings" option which allowed me to change defaults but not on my Galaxy S III, the only options here are "sort by time" and "delete".
The section of the phone where the alarms are listed is in the Clock app. If there's simply no way to change the defaults I'm ok with installing a 3rd party app so long as I can create alarms via voice commands since I use it often as a timer for little things like 10 minutes to check laundry or 7 minutes till food is done cooking. So far I have not found an app that can replace the clock for settings alarms by voice command.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I did find this link which discusses this very topic, but it's old and appears to be abandoned. Unfortunately no solution was found: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/584055-stock-alarm-clock-default-ring-tone.html
I'm not sure if linking to other sites is frowned upon so please don't eat me
Anyone have any 3rd party suggestions for a voice enabled alarm clock?

Ok I think I finally found the information I've been looking for, will report back after testing: http://smallbusiness.chron.com/set-up-android-clock-work-voice-actions-31627.html
In case the site goes down, this is a quote taken from step 2. "Select an alarm clock app from the list that supports the "Set Alarm" voice action. Alarm Clock Xtreme, Gentle Alarm and Alarm Clock Plus all support Voice Action functions for Gingerbread, Android's 2.3 update."
Did you test these apps????
I was so glad to see smn mention this annoying problem with Samsung divises but you didnt come back to tell us if these apps work with the voice commands.
If you have any news, please inform.

Oh hey just saw this post. I haven't tested any of these programs I'm afraid. I started using custom ROM's shortly after this post and this hasn't been an issue with AOSP. However I have recently gone back to a Touchwiz ROM due to the fact that AOSP ROM's for the galaxy s3 are rife with bugs and lack any real benefit other than having the latest version of android and occasionally an exclusive feature or two (after half a year of flashing my ass off, AOSP is simply not worth it unless you're using a nexus device).
After looking for a solution again, I stumbled on this old thread and I'm surprised to see that this clear design flaw still hasn't been resolved without using a 3rd party program, fortunately these programs reportedly work with google now (google search) so I'll look around, test some out and report back when I find a winner.
I know the app Gentle Alarm is reported to work as stated here: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/584055-stock-alarm-clock-default-ring-tone.html though I'm confident others like Alarm Clock Xtreme and Circle Alarm (which is free) should work as well.
-------------------
Update: Been using Gentle Alarm, all better now. It's a pay app, so I'd recommend trying out Circle Alarm first. I don't generally like having to install 3rd party apps to use instead of default ones but It's a small app and it seems to be fine. I'll report back if I notice any battery issues.
Hello there:
I am looking for an application that can do the same thing that I was able to accomplish with MyModes when I had the MyTouch 4G which is change the phone profile based on Time, Location, Manual, etc. I have found quite a few 'phone profile' apps on the Play Store but none can do what MyModes can (that or I haven't figured out how to do it with those apps).
This is an example of what I want that app to do:
Switch to Work profile and change:
- change Home screen (with Apps that I use for work only) and just have say 3 screens
- change Wallpaper/background
If I switch to 'Kids' profile
- disable phone calls
- disable SMS
If I switch to 'Home' profile
- change Home screen to a different wallpaper and re-arrange apps to what I use when I'm at home (eg: I use the 'Local' and 'TripIt' apps a lot when Im on the road for work so I have them on my Home screen when using the 'Work' profile but when I'm back home I don't so I dont need them on the Home screen for my 'Home' profile)
- Also I wanna have 5 screens (Home screen plus 2 on each side)
etc etc etc...
All the profile changing apps I've looked at on the Play Store such as Locale, Tasker, Profile Scheduler, PhoneWeaver, and Easy Profiles are good at changing sound profiles and doing a lot more things but they don't seem to be able to do what I need as I mentioned before (or like I said I haven't figure out how to do that with those apps)
Can anyone point me to an app that does that or explain how I can do it with the apps I've mentioned?
Thanks in advance!
You might just be out of luck, as MT4G had its own UI system or launcher or whatever you want to call it. It was not a SENSE theme UI, launcher or what ever you want to call it.

Yea I think I might just be ...actually all those other apps do some of what I need except for changing the Home screen and re-arranging the apps based on which profile is selected
Well hopefully we SGS3 users get the Jelly Bean 4.1 update at the end of this month or early next month like it has been rumored and I'll be able to install and use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29999828 <---I just found about it researching my issue here on the forum and it sounds EXACTLY like what I'm looking for!
Yayyyy
The only working solution I can think of for home screen switching is if you use one launcher for work with 1 wallpaper and apps arrangement and another launcher for home.
Have you looked into "tasker" or "locale" on the market?

Good afternoon,
i'm using JellyTime (based on CyanogenMod 10 and so JellyBean) and i really like Profiles, that i use to mute my phone and turn off network interfaces.
I'm only annoyed by the fact that the "fastest" way to switch between profiles is using the power menu, that is really unconfortable.
Isn't there a way to add a quick profile switch button to the notification bar or something like this?
Thank you!

I think you can add a launcher shortcut to Trebuchet, I'm not sure (last time I ran JellyTime, it had no camera xD).
If not you can try Silence (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.epsilonlabs.silence.ads) maybe that's what you'd need?

I'm using Nova Launcher, not Trebouchet. I Nova there is no way to add a shortcut to Profile switch. Anyway, it would be kinda uncomfortable too, because i would need to unlock my screen and then launch the shortcut to change a profile.
I've took a look at Silence (thank you) but it doesn't do all the stuff that Profile can do (and i don't like installing apps for something the ROM can do by itself). Silence can't switch on/off the 3G and has some problems activating airplane mode.
I'll stay with Profiles for now
Hi there
I'm using "Timely" for setting up alarm rather then the default "Clock" app.
Now the thing is that alarms set via Timely do not show the alarm notification in the top left corner on the Notifications bar.
Note : All notifications are turned on.
Only alarm set via default clock app shows up on top left.
Also I tried to set Timely as default app but the option that says "Set as default" is greyed out and hence can't be used.
Would highly appreciate your help and thank you for your time.
Regards
Both of those things are working as designed. The system alarm notification is only generated by the system alarm app. Timely is responsible for it's own notifications. The Set As Default menu item is designed to show any intents the app is set to handle by default, and allow you to clear them, not to set the app as default for an intent. If you aren't pleased with the notifications Timely creates, you should address that to their support.

Noted, with thanks.
In this case Timely does not show any notification at all after the alarm is created, will contact it's developer.
Regards
It looks like Timely has some serious problems with recent versions of Android. Look at the reviews. You might look for an alternative. I use Alarmy. It works, although the notifications aren't reliable. At least the alarms are very reliable.

Yes, received an automated response from developer saying they are too busy due to apps popularity and can't respond.
I will look to use the in built Clock app.
Atleast it will work for sure.
there shld be alarm icon in the status bar. ive seen this on s10

I use Google's clock app instead of the Samsung clock app, and it shows the system alarm icon.
tested with my alarm app too. seems like a bug?

Have you allowed the desired app notification access? If it isn't allowed to add icons to the notification bar then it won't even if the developer of the app tries to fix it...
These are the new security settings for Android which seem to get tighter with every new iteration...
Sorry if I don't seem to be making much sense, only had a few hours sleep in the last few days...

Yes Notifications were on. I switched to Samsung default clock. Guess the less apps the better.
And thank you for your feedback.
As far as this can help, I recently switched to an android 11 device (also rooted) and am experiencing the same trouble: on my previous phone (sony xperia XZP, android 9) my favourite app AlarmDroid took hold of everything doing the following:
starting automatically
showing the clock icon on the upper bar
correctly playing its alarms
NOT showing in the app in the running apps list
Now, on android 11 happens this:
app does not start automatically
clock icon is shown only if app is running
app correctly plays alarm only if manually started
app shows in running app list: if you close it there it will STOP working and you have to restart it manually
COnsidering that AlarmDroid is quite stable/seasoned code, it looks like woes are due to android 11, which, also, does not show an option to change the default alarm app.
Is there any way to solve this?
Thanks
