Since I've upgrade to DCD 3.2.x ROM's I've had a weird issue with my phone randomly switching itself into vibrate mode. I seems to occur less frequently with the 3.2.6 ROM, but in the last few days it has definitely switched into vibrate mode more than a few times. I've been unable to track down any more details as to why this is occurring (i.e. a program I'm using or something I'm doing and not realizing). I am using HTC Home, I doubt this has a bearing on the situation, but I thought I'd throw it out there. Has anyone else experienced this problem? More importantly has anyone found a fix to this annoying issue?
Thanks folks!
same here
I have had that same problem here recently along with the radio turning off periodicaly for no reason. Had DCD 3.2.6 installed since it came out. No new programs have been installed since the install so I don't think that is it.
HTC Home has a feature to switch your audio profile to vibrate when you have an appointment in your calendar. Ensure that you are not set to "automatic" on your sound tab.
Other than that, no ideas.

I second the suggestion. I had accidentally put mine in automatic and every time an appointment reminder would go off, 10 minutes later it would go to vibrate... took me about 3 days to figure it out.
Now I use it all the time, if your calendar appointment is set to busy, with automatic it will do this. If you don't want the auto-vibrate, set your time to free (that is what I do with kids sports schedule's)...
Not Using Automatic Sound Setting
I'm certainly not using the automatic sound setting in HTC Home so it must be something else...
I love Tasker. I use it a lot on my phone for all kinds of automated tasks. For the Prime, I have set up the following so far:
1. at 11pm it shuts off WiFi and starts back up at 6:30am (save battery if I forget to put it on charger)
2. at 10pm it shuts off BT and never starts back up in morning (save battery if I forget to put it on charger or forget to turn BT off)
3. at 10pm it shuts off GPS and never starts back up in morning (save battery if I forget to put it on charger or forget to turn GPS off) - UPDATE: I see now this one will not work in the HC OS as the system requires user interaction to set GPS
4. at 11pm it shuts off Sync and starts back up at 6:30am (save battery if I forget to put it on charger and I dont want to hear gMail alerts all nigh)
5. When on power cable, it (a) turns off the need to unlock it (b) leaves the screen on
6. give me an alert tone at 20% battery
7. if it is in my car and attached via BT it turns up the brightness (since I am outside) and leaves on display (as I normally also have it plugged in) so I can use things like Torque and the Navi/GPS and see the screen
thats all for now... anyone else?

Haven't gotten my Prime yet, but that Tasker app sounds pretty cool. It sound kind of like JuiceDefender, except there's a lot more options.
With those settings, what kind of Battery life do you get?
If you don't know what Tasker is, you have no idea how powerful it is. It is amazing, you can control virtually every function, setting, alert, automation, etc. What I have done here is the tip if the iceberg. I have some for my phone that sense I am in my car, thanks to BT, and does a series of 3 to 4 steps like turn up brightness, play a tone to tell me it is connected to my car, start up a certain app, etc..

Tasker is pretty awesome!
A bit of a learning curve, but once you figure it out, the sky is the limit.
I have a profile that if I receive a text while driving, it autoresponds telling the person texting and driving is dangerous and I am currently driving at xx MPH and will get with them later.
I get a lot of people inquiring about that one.
The most useful one I have is it looks at my calendar and if it is during the time of my meeting, it automatically puts my phone on vibrate. That way I don't have to worry about it. When meeting is over, it reverts back to normal.
Yes, tasker is INCREDIBLE. Once you figure it out, it can almost double your battery life (at least it did on my phone).
You can try reddit.com/r/tasker, where most people post awesome tasker profiles and ask for help accomplishing certain settings. There are also a ton on the internet if you google search for tasker set-ups:
http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index (this is a great one)
I have been using Tasker for a while. It is incredible. My current challenge is switching to switftkey when I have my TFP keyboard undocked, and to the asus keyboard when the keyboard is docked. Tasker can detect the keyboard being plugged in, but not being unplugged. If anyone solves this, I would love to hear about it.
Tasker is one of the defining differences between ios and Android. Really shows off how powerful android can really be if you're willing to take the time
OP wanna post your profiles? And maybe a quick writeup (or link) how to apply them for those who dont know...
I used to use tasker for BLN to enable notifications from various apps that normally didnt work with BLN, as well as making my phone vibrate every minute or so if theres a missed notification (text, etc) for aprox 5 minutes just so that way if i was with a customer at work (retail) i could deal with the customer but wouldnt forget about the messages i got
Awesome app indeed.

Put a small SD card in the dock. Have Tasker check when it mounts/unmounts.
Might not work since there's no notification on unmounting /Removable/SD. Maybe have it check for access to /Removable/SD every X minutes?

Got mine setup with a profile to set off an alarm when the microsd gets unmounted.
Almost lost my mircrosd once before with it popping out and not realising to later - hopefully this should help
I have 4 profiles that I copied from my phone to do the same tasks:
Home: When near my Home wi-fi AP, turn on wi-fi. When no longer near the AP, turn off wi-fi.
Sleep Mode: Put device on silent, turn on airplane mode (11PM-5AM).
Work Location: When near my office wi-fi, turn on wi-fi, turn on silent mode. When no longer near the AP (i.e. not at work), turn off wi-fi, turn off silent mode off.
Work Timer: During work days/hours (M-F 6-3), turn silent mode on. After work hours, turn silent mode off. Exception: if there's an event with a description of "Vacation" on the calendar. If that exists, device does not go into silent mode.
There are others that I use on my phone.

GREAT idea. Just set one up so "card Unmounted" plays an Alarm that will go on and on and on until I address it.

Really, you don't want to shut BT or WiFi or GPS or Sync while you sleep to conserver battery overnight?? That alone is a useful set of tasks.

i understand how powerful this tool can and is. but i shut my prime off at night... there is no battery to conserve... lol sorry. im glad it works for you guys though! it REALLY may be worth investing the money into though JUST for microsd unmount alerts.
Something tells me you don't fully grasp the true depth & scope of Taskers abilities. Thus far the tasks listed are child splay that barely scrape the surface.

i believe you are correct. but i am not very imaginative. so its very possible that i cant just find a use for it, doesnt meant that it isnt there. i plan on doing some research into some of the already made profiles to see if someone interests me. so far, the unmount microsd seems to be the only plausible for me
Not sure how I missed this thread before; I'm a huge fan of Tasker. All of what follows was written for my Samsung Epic 4G: I don't even have Tasker installed on my TFP because so much of what I do is smartphone-focused. Sooner or later I'll get around to putting together some tablet-specific scripts.
Surreptitiously snaps a photo from the front-facing camera every time the screen is unlocked, with no visual or audio indication. This is set up so as to always keep the last 2 photos stored, and will overwrite older photos. Images can be retrieved remotely via a secret text message.
Set up secret text messages that trigger the phone to gather information such as GPS location (reverse geocoded to an address), speed, heading, altitude, local cell tower ID and signal strength, nearby and connected WiFi SSIDs, WAN IP, currently open app, whether the screen is turned on, battery strength, and covert photographs taken from the front and rear cameras (including the one that was captured from the front camera when the screen was last unlocked) and text/email me back without notifying whomever has the phone. Another message will make my phone freak out, announce it's been stolen, announce that all of the above information has been sent to the owner of the phone, flash the LED in an SOS, and force all outbound calls to go to me.
If I send a secret message to my phone, it calls me back, and enables speakerphone, so I can speak with whomever has my phone. It also reroutes any outbound calls to my number. I can also ask it to send me photos from the front and rear cameras on the phone.
Ensured that when the phone is connected to my home's local cell tower, it always rings when I call it. I never have to worry about it being on vibrate while under a couch cushion or in a snowbank next to the driveway.
When I plug in a headset or it connects to my car's bluetooth, it pops up a list of media applications for me to use, and if I don't select one or back out of the selection, it automatically starts my Pandora, and kills the app when I unplug / disconnect. Basically, I get in my car, my music plays. I get out, it stops. Same with headphones.
When it detects the cell tower near my work, it enables vibrate.
If it detects a cell tower that is not the one near my home or work, it turns on the ringer and disables WiFi (unless I re-enable it).
If someone calls me that I don't even want a voicemail from, I add their number to a list in Tasker, and when they call me, it picks up the line and immediately hangs it up. Working on one that will play back a fake "Your call could not be completed as dialed" message.
Checks accuweather.com in the morning on work days to see if it's raining, snowing, sleeting, or hailing. If any of the above, it rings an alarm 30 minutes early. I also built in snooze functions and a voice notification in the morning about the outside temperature and conditions. This script recently broke (accuweather probably did something to affect the output of my HTTPGet) so I've been using the voice notification in Alarm Clock Plus, though it doesn't wake me up early. With current weather conditions I'm going to have to get my script fixed for the head start. My how-to on this script is on Tasker's wiki, here: http://tasker.wikidot.com/weather-clock
If I start Google Navigation with GPS disabled, it closes the app, enables GPS, and starts the app back up again. No more fiddling with GPS settings while on the go. Sometimes this script is not 100% reliable... I've got to look at it again some time to figure out why.
I made a blog post a while back about how to take the pictures remotely with the camera, and you can read about it here:
http://sean-the-electrofreak.blogspot.com/2011/10/more-fun-with-tasker-covert-mugshots.html
The email-attachment part can also be used to send audio recordings, which I've not actually implemented yet but wouldn't be difficult.
I've been putting off for the last 6 months or so my write-up on all the rest... I just have to find time for it!
Having trouble when phone has been in sleep for half hour or more. Notifications coming through wifi are not working. I've being trying to solve it since yesterday but I'm not having any luck.
I've made sure the apps in question are on auto start in permissions, turned off ultra long standby mode in battery power management settings and set the apps to be exempt from cleaning in app protection settings and even turned off 'align wakeup' in power management, and of course wifi is set always on.
Phone is x820 model running fresh china 17S rom, to which i manually installed google play, gmail, bbm apps.. bbm and gmail are the apps in question are the ones not getting notifications, even though phone can receive an sms messages no problem, weirdly even receiving an sms doesnt spring the other notifications to work, also when turning the screen back on notifications still don't come for up to ten minutes even though wifi is working fine.
Any help would be really apreciated, thanks
Hi,
I'm in the same situation as you.
Also my calendar doesn't want to sync. I've flashed phonesky.apk for google apps but it doesn't contains google agenda sync adapter.. so no agenda sync
I've some app which is always run but seems to be cut by the system
Also have a lot of start up app (reboot) but nothing start huhu
17s china
Yeah it's pretty odd. Maybe the trying the Indian rom is the solution.
Generally the settings for notifications should be done in this way:
1. Check that notifications for the desired apps are ON under the menu Settings - Notification Management
2. Allow the apps to start automatically under the menu Settings - Permissions - You have allowed ... apps to auto launch
3. Disable the auto cleaning of the apps under Phone manager - Power Saving Management - App protection
I have Lock-Screen cleanup unchecked, Ultra-Long standby during sleep checked, Align wakeup checked, Clock night-alignment mode checked.
In this way I have no problems with notifications with whatsapp, viber, e-mail (I'm using yahoo mail with the stock email app), fb messenger, Facebook.
If the above are done and stil there are no notifications, then check in the app itself. The last but not least, reflash the firmware.

thanks for the info, you may be right that it is bbm and the specific gmail account playing up, the phone is for my son and on his old phone was getting @1000 notifications gmail a day lol, i cleaned it up and maybe that's made that gmail acount weird for now.
anyway can i ask what rom you are running, thanks

It's seems when my screen is off, the data is also off because i've shown 0.00kb/s when there is a connection to internet (wifi or data)
but when i turn it on, 1 sec later it show 0.00kb/s so when screen is off, no data ??

If your data will work all the time, then the battery will be drained fast. The phone connects from time to time to the Internet and then you'll get the necessary notifications. I cannot tell you how often is this, but you can decrease the time by deselecting Align Wakeup in Power Saving Management.
I am not sure that the way described above is correct, so if someone knows differently, please state.
edit.. thought i found a workaround, but I jumped the gun. Still trying to work this out.
I'm giving up, thinking about sending phone back under the reason of not fit for purpose
Maybe we need to try cuoco rom.
I've installed gapps by myself so maybe they is a bug with it
I've been testing WhatsApp all night, checking every hour if a message will get through and so far it has.... but i bet as soon as i post this it will stop working, that's the luck i seem to have lol
oddly on 19S rom WhatsApp is automatically set up to lock itself in memory, with the lock sign in recents screen, and autostart enabled in permissions
edit, put the phone in airplane mode while i slept, turned airplane mode off and now whatsapp won't get notifications even with the screen on unless i open WhatsAppl
I'm sure it shouldn't be this hard
Hi all,
I just wanted to share an app I've been using for quite a while and I think it's great and might be useful for some.
It's called Phone Profiles Plus, it allows you to set sound profiles based on time of day, location, connected devices, connected to WiFi or Bluetooth and also when connected to a charger, you can also have it launch apps based on what it's connected to.
Example 1: When I got to the gym and connect my Bluetooth headphones, it will automatically launch 2 apps for me, Google Play Music and my workout app (but doesn't close them when disconnected, unless I didn't figure how)
Example 2: When I connect my phone anytime between 11pm and 8am to the charger, it will set all sounds to silent and then revert back to the previous profile once I take the phone of the charger.
Example 3: If I go the the movies (I usually go to the same 2 theaters) my phone will automatically change to vibrate based on the location.
Anyway I thought I would just share.
Phone Profiles Plus at Google Play Store
Yes, it's great but unfortunately has no good help file. For example I totally cannot figure out what 'shared profile' is. And why bluetooth is constantly switching on when nothing is triggering it and there is absolutely nothing on the log file.
I just installed this app and it seems awesome. I, too, am having some small configuration issues and was looking for a subreddit, user forum, wiki, or some other place where users could help each other. Does anyone know if this exists?
I'm using the app without events until I get the profiles working like I need. I want all notifications off at night (Sleep profile) except for my ringer and alarm. I enabled the "Unlink Ringer and Notification Volumes", set notification volume to 0, Ringer to 1, but I can still hear all of my notifications. Am I missing some other setting somewhere?
Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this!
I would try to set the system sounds to 0, silent sound notifications, 1 ringtones, but silent sound and ring only for those who have a ringing tone assigned, the alarm clock works, and other announcements are quiet. It works fine for me.
This app is surely great, I have one problem: my home and my work places are very close to each other and there is only one mobile cell that covers both my home and my work. There are around 10 totally different cells for home and 10 other cells for work but this only one common cell that is in use in both home and work areas is spoiling the whole profile change process because my profiles are changing based on mobile cells. It would be very easy if my GPS sensor was enabled at all times but it is not and don’t want to be enabled constantly. Any advice of how to solve this problem without GPS enabled will be greatly appreciated! My phone is Samsung Galaxy S9+ and it is rooted with Magisk.
I like this app, but I am having similar issues here. Bluetooth activates/deactivates unexpectedly. Events sometime trigger unexpectedly. Can't find support.

What issues are you having with getting your events to work? Are they activated? Did you set priorities for them?

Thanks for your response. My events sometimes don't activate and you are correct, it could be to do with the priorities which I didn't pay too much attention to before. I thought as long as the active parameters were met the event would activate the profile. For example I initially had my home profile activated by the area then I tried mobile cell censor, I also set this to be active between 7AM and 2300. I had a 'night' event from 2300 till 7AM which only seemed to activate when I restarted events. I had a work event which should have activated on the area where I work but wasn't. Even when I tried manual activation it wasnt changing. Yesterday I cancelled the time activation on the 'at home' event and left the times on the 'night' event and gave a higher priority to the 'night' event and this seemed to work last night, but I have previously had things working for one activation before then it doesn't again, so we will see. Also I have switched to 'order events by priority' rather than start order, so will see how that works over the next day or so when I am back at work.

I found using the priorities helps a lot with event, here's some examples of events that I have setup and their priorities.
Event name: Work (activated by time: Mon to Fri, 8am to 6pm) / Priority: P6
Event name: Car (activated by Bluetooth connection to my car) / Priority: P8
Event name: Bedtime (activated by time and if phone is charging: 7 days, 11pm to 7am and phone must be also be charging to launch event / Priority: P7
So here is where setting Priorities is important:
Let's say it's 11:30pm and I'm home and put my phone on the charger, my Bedtime event will activate which switches my Profile to the DND that I set up.
But if it's 11:30pm and I go into my car and connect my phone to Android Auto (USB cable) or to the car charger, my Car event will launch and not my Bedtime event.
My Car event is set to P8 and Bedtime is set to P7, so the Car event takes priority over the Bedtime event.
I've been using Phone Profiles Plus for a few years now and have about 10 events setup.
If you have questions, I'll be glad to try and help, I learned how to use it by trial and error.

Thanks for your help. What I have done seems to have things working now though there can be a delay of about 20 minutes at times before a profile is switched, have you found that to be the case too?
What switch do you use for your 'order events by...'? Does this matter?
I did delete the car profile as it wasn't activating at all now but I'm going to create it again and try it now other things seem to be working.
Thanks

Thanks for your help. What I have done seems to have things working now though there can be a delay of about 20 minutes at times before a profile is switched, have you found that to be the case too?
What switch do you use for your 'order events by...'? Does this matter?
I did delete the car profile as it wasn't activating at all now but I'm going to create it again and try it now other things seem to be working.
Thanks

I've never had a 20 minute delay or any delays with my events activating. What do you mean by: What switch do you use for your 'order events by...'? Does this matter?
I am using redmi note 7 now, I used the app b4 on redmi Note 4 and it was perfect, when I changed to note 7, I took the saved profiles with me and granted every possible permission to it, however when I change profiles and there is a brightness change within the new assigned profile, the screen dims to the lowest brightness after few seconds of activating the profile... Everything else works perfect.. Only the brightness issue.. Any help?
Hi,
I started using Phone Profiles Plus as a replacement of Llama. Unfortunately it doesn't detect connected cell unless I press RE-SCAN button. Is it related to specific phone model (I have Xiaomi Mi Max 3)?
VIP or Starred contacts
I've been using this app for quite a while now and I have a good setup that's been working great. However there is one thing I can't for the life of me figure out. I have certain numbers (VIP or starred contacts) to allow to sound even when it's on silent (zero volume).
Any ideas on how to make that work?
Thanks!
Edit : So finally figured this app out and dang, I must say it's pretty darn good! This and Audio Profiles (found on the Play Store - not free) are the only two Profile Apps that I have found that work w/ A11 that lets you control the screen brightness & sound levels. But this app here, PhoneProfilesPlus, let's you control much much much more than that and is more configurable than Audio Profiles but is more confusing to set up, however. But once you do figure it out it's totally worth it as it does work better than AudioProfiles (for me at least).
The only feature that I wish I could find or make happen is that when I manually switch profiles that I can choose a beep to sound when I do the switching. I see that I can make it beep when it changes Events, but how can I make it beep when I manually switch profiles? (I left a suggestion on Github).
Gotta say it's pretty crazy that more profile apps such as these don't exist.. PhoneWeaver was the bomb way back in the day
Btw, you gotta find it here now : https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/sk.henrichg.phoneprofilesplus
Hi all,
Wondering if there's an app that can tell what can turn ringer on by itself...
At night if I turn my ringer off, texts wake me the next morning by vibrating.
If I turn on do not disturb texts wake me with full ringer notification sound. Changed dnd schedule to off later in day, didn't do anything. Changed dnd to priorities off and no schedule, still wakes on texts.
I have no idea if it's the texts pushing through, or something turns it back on through the night.
I've not installed anything prior to the issue. Since it started I installed a new router app and cam app, but again was happening before.
Losing sleep is getting to me so I'm ready to do a hard reset. Hoping however there's a way to track via a log what could be causing this.
I did update a large amount of apps, so I'm guessing that is the trigger. Just zero clue what is really causing. Would take ages to install a few apps at a time then wait for morning to test...
Any guesses?
Thank you,
Sleepy android user...
