About this app

A convenient way to switch between user defined audio profiles on your android phones.

#NOTICE#
Vibrate settings don't work since Jelly Bean(4.1).

Official/Stock Android 4.0(ICS) links volumes of phone rings and notifications. Profiles like 'Phone only' will NOT work. (Will work fine on CM9, or some other customized ics)


FEATURES:
* Create and manage your audio profiles. (Support adding, editing, deleting profiles)
* A simple but good-looking home-screen WIDGET for displaying current profile and quick profile switching
* A STATUS-BAR ICON which indicates the current profile and provides profile switching function. (If your find this icon annoying, you can always turn it off in the options menu!)
* NEW: Home-Screen SHORTCUT, switch to a profile just by one touch!

To those who thought their alarms are muted by this app:
If your alarm apps are affected by Simple Sound Profile Widget, It means that your alarm apps are playing alarm ringtones in Phone/Notification/Media channel, which means they are not well designed to follow Android's standards. So, if you encountered this problem, just switch to another alarm app.

To those who thought the icon in the status bar is annoying:
You can turn the icon off in the options.

Ratings and reviews

I've been using this since Android 2.1. It was better in the old days, but with a few workarounds, it is still a good option in Android 9. ----- As stated, Android now ties the vibration function to when the volume is set to 0, so if you want no ringtone and no vibe, create/use a silent ringtone and set the volume to >0. Easy as pie. ----- As noted in some reviews, when switching sound profiles, your Android default ringtone may get changed. So in each of the sound profiles, manually configure the ringtone you want. Don't leave the ringtone setting on Default and problem is solved.

While changing back from one profile to another profile, ring tone is not changing accordingly, earlier ring tone stays back. For e.g when i enter office i change the profile from outdoor to indoor, but still when an incoming call comes the louder ringtone is heard which was set in outdoor mode. This is very annoying while in office. The basic feature is not working fine.

Super helpful when I'm going from work to home and sudden changes in plans. I don't have to spend the time changing each volume setting, just pick the best profile and run. It's a small change but every minute counts if it helps me navigate my schedule more easily. Thank you!
