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.

I'm using this app too and potentially it should be great, however I cant get events working as they should. Finding some sort of support would be handy.

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

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,
In Amazfit app I have selected km in units settings. All distance inormation of my running workouts are shown correctly in km in the app.
But when I start run activity in the watch the distance is shown in miles in the data screen. Also pace is shown as minutes/mile and not minutes/km as I expect.
Watch sw version is 2.3.4.0.
Any ideas how to see km instead of miles during running activity?
Sounds like a bug in the ROM. Guess you have to wait for an update.

Is it the caption 'mileage' that makes you think it is in miles? Metrics should be denoted in Km since you have selected this in the app. I have exactly the same version Stratos intl 2.3.4.0 and everything is shown correctly.
I was wondering the same. For me all is fine.
Thank you for your answers. It is not caption ’mileage’. It is really showing only miles for distance and pace, not kilometers. Also altitude is shown in feet and not meters. Seems like settings in app do not have effect in watch. And in watch there is no way to change units.
But when I sync running workout from watch to app it shows kilometers in app. Any ideas what to do?

You mean in the watch you log a running activity of 1 mile and when sync to the app you get 1.6 Km?
Yes that is right.
Internally it is always metric, just the display is imperial. Like it is with all other modern devices.

But how to change display to metric? It has to be possible somehow. I want to see the distance and pace in kilometers when I’m running.

It is in kilometers. If factory reset does not help contact the support.

I had the same problem on my first run, regardless the fact that everything in the app was set in kilometres. So try restarting the device, and also you can go to run -> settings -> more settings -> auto Lap -> 1 km and also activate the notification for laps (so even if it is in miles, you will get notification on every km).
So I did that and on my next run it still says "mileage" but the numbers are in kilometres not miles. I am not sure that the auto lap setting has anything to do with the info, or it was just the restart, but it doesn't hurt to try.
I have tried restarting the device, factory reset and started running activity several times but nothing seems to help. I tried your Auto Lap tip but Auto Lap seems to be for miles as well. At least it shows Auto Lap (mi).
I found instructions from Amazfit web page for changing units in watch setting but this option is missing at least from my watch. I have now sent this problem to Amazfit support and waiting for answer.
Hopefully they will offer some-kind of solution.
BTW I know it is kind of dumb, but have you tried switching to miles in the app, restarting and then switching to kilometres again?
PS: I also don't have the Units option in the "Common" section of the watch.
This one solved the problem. Switched to miles in app, restarted watch, switched back to km and restarted the watch again. Thank you very much for your help!

That's normal, it's just the title. Same for me at least.
Ok great thought that should change to kilometers or distance or something. Milage usually refers to a measurement of miles not distance in general.
I have asked Amazfit to change this is exy update let's see if they do.
How I fixed it
Just got "Amazfit Stratos 3" few days ago, set km and kg in the app, however the watch still showed miles insted of km (on the app it was km, but not on the watch). Tried switching from kg to imperial, reseting the watch, etc. - nothing worked. HOWEVER then I found how to fix it. So here it goes: Open on your watch Settings>>>Data sync (it showed that my Data sync was set on Manual sync - so I tapped it again. Was asked to enter my Wi Fi password - did it). The watch started syncing - and in 15 secs. everything was fine - it started showing km insted of miles. Pretty obvious if to think about it now
Hi,
I've got Amazfit Pace 2.8.1.0
When I walk, I use the build in application for walk. Can I get a vibration after every 1km that I walk (with data about the last km I walked)?
I used to have mi band 2 and the application on my cellphone let me know for each km I walked and the data...
Dome
I think you didn't look into the activity Settings: that's what "Lap alert" does. Enable it and you will get both, while you can use "Auto-lap" to get data without vibration for other distances.
I didn't find it
How can I get to activity settings?

You really don't know? Scroll up when you open an activity, before you tap "Go".
Oh, silly I am... every time I start a new walk and skip these setting
Thank you mate,
Helped me a lot
Hi forum,
today my amazfit pace 2 (firm v2.8.3) has shown a delay issue. It took 10min, after my run started, to track altitude, pace and speed. Distance tracking seems ok. Is there any tip to debug it further?
thanks in advance.
Go to Settings -> General -> Activity alerts, turn both ON, quit settings, go back and turn them OFF again.

thanks, lfom. However, I was not able to follow your suggestion (Settings -> General -> Activity alerts) in my amazfit pace (under its current firmware version). This option is not available to me. I've tried "Additional Setting -> General", and, below this, I have "Time format" and others.
I also tried swipe left -> Running-> Settings -> Activity Reminders (this path does lead to some alerts, e.g lap alert, heart rate alert and others)
Did you mean this second option? (I'm afraid we are talking about different versions or I've missed something in your explanation).
Thanks in advance.

You must disable the "Activity reminders", not the alerts during the activity (they may cause other problems, but not the one you have reported). My Pace has latest CN firmware (AmazeROM - 2.6.5.0) and my Stratos with latest INTL firmware (2.3.9.0) show the option at the same place: Settings -> Genereal -> Activity alerts. Maybe it's different in the Pace INTL ROM. Anyway, you should enable both, save, then disable them again.
If you don't have the "Activity reminders", maybe what happened was just weak GPS signal. To avoid this, make sure you wait a few seconds after you get a GPX fix in a clear area, away from buildings and trees.
Hi, I am a new user of Amazfit Stratos plus, and I updated the Rom to 2.3.9.0.
I tried the Outdoor Cycling activity and the GPS nor the distance is not updating.
What's strange is when I get off my bike and started walking, GPS and distance works.
Has anyone experiencing the same motion detection issue?
Enable then disable "Activity reminders" in Settings - > General (it is not enough to keep them off, you must enable them disable both settings to actually prevent that they work), they are buggy.
