Profile Management - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am coming from a BlackBerry. That has some great profile management and I'm not expecting something exactly like that.
There's only one main feature that I would like for the profiles, and that is to make it so it only vibrates when I receive a call. And I would switch to that particular profile during the night and then in the morning switch to my normal profile again.
Is there a way to do this? I heard you can in Tasker but I played around with it and it's too complicated for me.
Please help. Thanks

I can recommend Audio Manager Pro for audio-profiles and other useful features (such as the ability to restore sound after X minutes/hours ,... )

Thanks for the replies. So far Handy Profiles seems like it does what I want but won't really know until I've used it a few days.
Will get back on this thread.
Thanks

You can try Super Profile, it can switch to profile based on time, WiFi: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sigma_rt.superprofile

Handy Profile seems to be doing a great job a few days down the line. Really impressed.

[Q] Setcpu?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me by explaining to me how to use setcpu? I'm trying to use it to save battery. The only problem is that I have no idea on how to use it, I mean what profiles do I use, how do I even configure profiles.
I've searched but honestly I don't understand a thing but I know I need to learn, any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Wow, sorry, but have you even tried it yet? It's pretty intuitive already.

Is ur phone rooted? Without root superuser, u can't used it.... look at tab profile... u can create profile from that tab.... u have to check it... if u want to use the profile... if u didn't check it... it just run how it supposed to do on the first tab...
That's mean... if u just have one profile... example.. from 9am till 13pm... it's mean this profile active during this hour... and then out of that... he back to the normally used.... u can create as many profile as u like... check cpu gov... then u will know what is it mean... there're hotplug, performance, userspace, demand etc... u have check ur phone first... not every phone have the same...
Good luck...

Call Bar alternative?

I had an app on iOS that whenever a call came in, it didn't take up the whole screen. It only showed up on top, similar to the iOS 5 notifications. There are times I don't feel like answering a call when using my phone and I don't want to reject it because then they would know. Is there an app that can stop incoming calls from using the whole screen on android?

No one has anything?

The only thing I can think of is a stock feature on CM7. It only gives you a status bar notification that you have an incoming call. I'm not sure if there are apps for that, but I'd imagine not.
I'm trying to stay away from CM7. I'm on UnNamed. How has a dev still not put something like this together?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
It involves modding the framework. CM7 has a modded framework, that's why it has it.
It isn't easy to implement and requires actual coding, not something normal ROM developers can do.

inorite? Lazy ass devs should be fired.
Perhaps you should try to produce something of your own instead of expecting others to do it for you. Or maybe try searching here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=530

Just questioning why the idea hasn't been thrown about before. I can't code or else I wouldn't be making a post like this. Maybe you should stop being a smart ass.

Yes, there is an app on the Google Play store called Small Call. Its does the same thing CallBar does but for Android and it works pretty well. I downloaded it on my S3 and its the app on my phone I use the most.
Small call is OK. I have had issues with it. Also I don't think it has a quick call feature like callbar does

Is there anything that does this?

I need an app that will let me block Wifi for certain apps.
Lets say I have Whatsapp, Facebook and Twitter, I want my Wifi to be on, but I only want to let Whatsapp use the Wifi connection. Is this possible?
Thanks!

I think "tasker" can let you do that but its quite a learning curve if you haven't used it before.

I think droidwall will do this.
Doesn't the phone switch off data connection when Wi-Fi is active though?
Sent from my XperiaS via subspace beacon.
I do similar stuff using "Tasker".
Thanks. That was a good questions and really helpful answers.
I was wondering the same and Ill try out your suggestions...
Hopefully Ill figure out how to use them correctly
Does anyone have any tasker profiles for this? I use messengers like whatsapp and kik and while on the go I'd like to disable my data for everything else but only allow these apps to work. If I could do that, I feel like my battery life would more than double. If anyone could come up with a profile I would be so grateful! I'm no good at making tasker profiles on my own or I would do it myself.

[Q] Sound Profile help?

So, i really want my ringer on all the time, i usually don't get many calls but the ones i get are important. So is there a way to set all other notifications (text, email, ect) to vibrate while its still in the sound profile so my phone still rings?

I wanted the same thing. I think the best way to do it is using an app called Smart Profiles. I haven't actually tried it yet though.

I use smart profiles, it works great! One of my most used apps

Can't you do this natively?
By going into Settings>sound>volumes and setting ringtone to max and everything else to silent (slider all the way to the left should be silent), and make sure Ringtone with vibration is checked in the sound settings as well?
It should make calls full volume (with vibration) and everything else on vibrate only.
Or am I mistaken/not understanding the request?

Good call. I was thinking he wanted this profile only at certain times, but that's not stated in the OP, just my assumption.

Tasker Profiles

Anyone know of a website or app that allows uploading and downloading of tasker profiles created by other users? Preferrably somthen with a large selection. I need it badly cuz I have no idea what the hell I'm doin when it comes to creating different profiles. As of now every time I fart my phone performs a Google search on the great wall of china. I was trying to set up a toggle that will turn WiFi on/off depending on if I'm home or not so I clearly screwed up somewhere. Can anyone help?

This is a must see thread it's not only a tutorial of everything (even how to fart and search for girls gone wild GREAT WALL special edition), but also kind of a roll up sticky thread.
