I prefer using toggle settings – great looking app that works really well, and the profiles can be triggered using a variety of keys (including all mentioned above and more – like when headset is plugged in).

Been around for a long time – at least from v1.5 when I first found it. Comes in two version paid and ad version – can’t remember what I paid and what it costs now, but definitely cheaper than your suggestion.

Interface is really easy to use, has some great features and has great manual options two whether changing profiles or just individual settings.

Thanks for the feedback David. I haven;t checked that one out yet. Would you care to elaborate what features you use and like?

My preferred app for this is Setting Profiles Full. It seems to have to more functionality that Phoneweaver.

Hi thanks for the headsup. I looked at this app ages ago. Looks like they have improved it. But looks really complicated.

Another program in this area, that has just been released to the market after several development betas is Tasker. You can find it on the market (either Cupcake, or Eclair+) or at http://tasker.dinglisch.net/

It has more triggers (Wifi Network, Wifi Near, Bluetooth Connected, Notifications Clicks … in addition to the standard ones like Time, Location, Calendar).

Up to three triggers (called contexts) can be combined, allowing for more refined control.

It also supports more actions, which can be combined into tasks and allows for the use of variables in order to make real funky stuff.

There are a few programs the do something similar to what locale does. Phoneweaver has been around a lot longer than locale on other platforms, but does the job really well.

So it’s Locale but 1.5 years after it was released…?
