About Airplane Mode Timer (Pebble)

ATTENTION FIRST TIME USERS:
There is a possible delay when launching the app for the first time. This is a known bug, and should not occur on subsequent launches. If after about a minute the timer dialog doesn't appear, simply launch the app again.

**ADDITIONALLY, If you are having problems with the app, please contact me! One of the most common issues with development (especially on Google Play) is that customers uninstall apps when there's an issue with the app, rather then telling the developer. Please tell me if you're having problems! My email is at the bottom of the page, just click "Email Developer". Thanks, -Jake


Airplane Mode Timer: An app that allows time-based configuration of Airplane Mode on your phone. Airplane mode can be activated for a specified time, then automatically turn off.

FEATURES:
—This app turns on Airplane Mode on your device, then turns it off after a specified time
—Optional delay (so you can fall asleep on the train and not worry about remembering to turn Airplane Mode off)
—After the timer counts down, the app will automatically turn Airplane Mode off, allowing you to once again receive calls and data.
—Pebble Notifications (Coming in next release!)

TIMELINE OF EVENTS:
(Optional delay of 'x' minutes) —> Airplane mode ON (data/calls off) —> Wait ' x minutes —> Airplane mode OFF (data/calls on) —> END


Usage is incredibly simple.
Instructions:
1) Upon launch, you are presented with a dialog.
2) Enter how many minutes you want to keep your wireless signals off.
2a) Optional: Enter a number of minutes to delay Airplane Mode from activating (so you can fall asleep on the train and not worry about activating it when you hit the tunnel)
3) Tap "Go!"
The app will then count down (using a notification in your menubar) and when it hits zero, it will automatically turn off airplane mode, allowing you to receive data and calls again.


UPCOMING FEATURES:
—Pebble Smartwatch integration in NEXT RELEASE! (Currently works if you push all phone notifications to Pebble, but full integration is coming soon).
—Scheduling/Recurring timers (daily, weekly, hourly) for Airplane Mode

*NOTE: Pebble integration is taking some extra time because of the new Pebble SDK v2.0. I've decided to push forward and integrate with the new SDK, which is not backward-compatible with the old SDK, rather than continue with my SDK 1 version of the app.*

A little background: when you are in the subway, or elsewhere underground, your cell phone will search for service until it finds a wireless signal.
However, this causes an INCREDIBLY large drain on your battery, and your phone won't actually get a signal until you resurface above ground.

Airplane mode turns off the wireless on your phone, preventing your phone from searching for service and thus saving your battery.
Just remember:
Airplane Mode ON —> Wireless OFF (No data, calls, etc.)
Airplane Mode OFF —> Wireless ON (data, phone calls, etc.)


Thanks for looking, and enjoy!

Is not working...!!!

Handy for those times when you know you're going to be in an area with spotty coverage. I usually either 1.) forget to turn on airplane mode and drain my battery or 2.) forget to disable airplane mode and miss important calls/texts. This app is perfect for these type situations. I'm really looking forward to pebble integration!
