Silent mode timeout
A simple feature that I'd like to see is a silent mode timeout. What always happens with my current phone is I set it to silent mode because I'm in a movie or a meeting, and then later I forget to turn the ringer back on. This leads to a lot of missed calls. You could have a default timeout for simply holding down the 'volume down' button (if there is one on this phone), and this default would initially be 'no timeout'. When you enter silent mode, the GUI could display this current timeout and allow you to adjust it then. A checkbox would allow you to make this the new default timeout. ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

But beside of time - localisation would be also working - Leave this place +/- 50-100m and the phone will ring again. Don't ring here, now-modus But GPS system could have errors, so I would like to see an GPS controll network to warn OpenMoko/Neo1973 users when GPS is not working proper way - ok not ALARM! BEEEP ALARM! BEEEP ALARM!..non proper GPS could activate unforseen non-silent modus and maybe will trouble you ALARM! BP ALARM!... ;) So the time methode would be a more trustable one ;) Greetings rob ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I agree with this, but not just for silent mode. My current phone (Nokia) has the ability to set a timed expiration (profile expires at a specified time and returns to the previous profile) for ALL phone profiles. It's EXTREMELY useful, as I can set it to Meeting mode at the beginning of a meeting and have it automatically return to Normal mode at the end of the meeting, though with the MoKo's GPS ability, I'd also like to see if it's possible to set profiles to expire if I've traveled a set distance from the current position (e.g. 50 meters to cover possible GPS inaccuracies). -KW ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Hello Ben, Please add this idea here (http://www.linuxtogo.org/gowiki/OpenMoko/Ideas) so its easier to find. -Gervais.

Nice idea. I have the same problem. :) I also like to see the silent mode integrated with my current gps posistion. Define locations where you are often ond like to have a silent phone at this place. Theater, cinema, meeting room, lecture room,... Of course there are unknown places and at this moment your silent timeout comes into play. regards Stefan Schmidt ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
RE: Silent mode timeout
Maybe to implement these ideas in general: - take idea of shortcut in general as some functional aspect of the phone - define these with time or position data to make a cue, to allow timed and/or position based trigger of the shortcuts If the phone's shortcuts could be triggered via a straightforward sdk call then these features could be implemented on top of system service daemons like crond. Maybe there is a similar daemon to crond that resonds to the GPS coordinates already for linux? If not, not hard to make with easy coordinate info access. These could execute a command-line binary which calls the SDK to trigger a shortcut, with a number as an argument to identify the shortcut id. Of course, I don't know if the SDK would even cover something like shortcuts. Shortcuts could be things like dialing a number, changing to a mode (loud/silent/forwarding/no call waiting), changing to a service provider, etc. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Oberg Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 2:15 PM To: Stefan Schmidt Cc: community@lists.openmoko.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Silent mode timeout -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Stefan Schmidt wrote: Hello.

Theater, cinema, meeting room, lecture room,... I was thinking the same thing for 'The baby room', etc. However, we might want to be a little careful with the manager that switches profiles. e.g. In 'airplane' mode, it shouldn't switch to 'silent with radio on' when your flight path goes near your home:) I suppose that the gps shouldn't be on either in airplane mode, but I hope it illustrates the point. In summary, I think that the profile manager should be able to have sticky profiles or the ability to veto requests by the gps auto-profile switcher/deamon to change profiles.

Re: Silent mode timeout
I would like to see a specific profile activated when I am in the car. Based on recent GPS changes (vectors) the phone should be able to conclude that I am in the car and switch the profile to my car profile (e.g. loud ring tone + visual indication). We could sum the whole feature up under GPS location vector and time sensitive profile switching. Best, Marcus I also like to see the silent mode integrated with my current gps posistion.
