PowerProfiles allows automatic profiles switching according to your schedule or calendar. For each profile PowerProfiles allows selection of additional settings such as: backlight, cover open/close sounds, run custom application.
Any user of a Communicator had experienced the following situations: while in the office, meeting or dinner suddenly your communicator disturbs you. An incoming call!? Not now!? It’s the only thing you can think about at the moment. Quite often interruption puts you into an embarrassing situation. Another example: you are lying in bed, trying to have some rest after a hard day at work, and again the phone is ringing, because you forgot to switch off “your favourite toy”… Terrible!
It is understandable to expect your communicator to change profile settings automatically, for example a silent mode at night or at work. Unfortunately, Nokia Communicator is not equipped with this feature. But there’s no need to worry: PowerProfiles integrates this feature into your smartphone!
How to start:
To make PowerProfiles start adding extra functions to standart profiles you need to configure rules and set additional settings. Of course, you also need to turn PowerProfiles on.
Main view:
- Profiles panel - in this panel you can see a list of profiles, change an active profile and configure the following properties for the selected profile:
- Rules panel - here there’s a list of rules which you can configure:
Schedule rules:
Profiles will be switched according to the schedule (composed in this dialog). You can set the profile activation time at any day(s) of week, the deactivation time and a profile that has to be turned on after the deactivation. You can temporarily turn off any entry by choosing enable off. This entry will be omitted, i.e. PowerProfiles will not activate the profile indicated in this entry.
Every rule has the following parameters:
- Activate time - the time it has to be activated;
- Condition - the day(s) of week it has to be activated;
- Profile - one of five system profiles;
- Allow deactivate - choosing “Yes”, you can set the profile deactivation time and the profile you want to activate after this one;
- Deactivate time & Restore profile - here you can define the profile that will be activated after the Deactivate time. You can select one of the five system profiles or “Previous”. If you select “Previous” the profile activated before the Deactivate time will become active again.
Charger rules:
In this view you can configure to which profile the communicator will switch when connecting and disconnecting the charger. For example, if your communicator is always charging at home you can set for the rule Charger on profile Silent anf for Charger off - General.
