Proference automatic settings
Free AppAbout Proference automatic settings
Proference automatically controls your settings with profiles, rules, actions and conditions.
Even the earliest phones had profiles - 'Work' , 'Quiet', 'Library' and so on.
The latest 'smartphones' have dumped this in favour of making users micro-manage the myriad of settings on their devices.
Proference gives you the control back - you tell Proference when you want settings to kick in and it takes care of it automatically!
Proference maintains a tiny footprint and uses negligable RAM and CPU so you can rest assured that Proference has your back!
Simple example: When the phone is plugged in, you want the screen to be full brightness.
- Create a rule called 'Plugged in'
- Add a 'plugged in' condition
- Add Settings action which sets brightness to 100%
Medium example: You want Wifi to come on at home, but stay off (to save battery) at all other times.
- Add a location called 'home' and train it.
- Create a rule called 'home' with a
- a condition 'In location home' and a
- Settings Action which turns on Wifi.
Complex example: When you are in the car, you want to turn on Bluetooth, turn up the media volume, start another app (MusicPopup) and say 'car mode'.
- create a rule called 'In car'
- add a 'bluetooth device is nearby' condition and select your device from the list
- add a Settings action which turns on Bluetooth and sets the media volume
- add a 'Say...' action and type in 'car mode'
- add a Broadcast action which sends the command to start MusicPopup
You can also create rules from templates - click 'add a rule' and then click the 'Templates' button and select from dozens of templates and customize to your heart's content.
When you combine OR and NOT conditions, the possibilities really start to open up. For instance, you could create a 'Near Wifi' Rule which turns on Wifi if you are near Home/Office/Starbucks.

Very well designed UI. Pop up tips make it incredibly easy to get to grips with. However half of my rules within my (during Sleeping Time.....>>) profile failed to activate. Aeroplane mode>on = failed. Turn notifications sound level to 0 = worked. Hope it can be fixed. Moto G running stock Kit Kat.

Holding off buying as fells like it could be better. Blunt force rules work well, but free version very limited without allowing experience of paid for product... Trail would be better than very limited free.

but needs some work. Automateit is much better and everything works without force closes. I was looking to see if this offered more and it only convinced me that Automateit is much better, easier to use and very lite weight on the system. DINC2, ROM: MIUI 1.12.9,

Heard about on Phones Show, and it really is easy to set up on my GS2 running ICS 4.0.1. However, after setting up 4 simple rules, my GS2 battery ran down during the night, so I've stopped using it for now :(

Love this app. All the others like Automateit and Tasker are expensive and non-intuitive. This just works like I expect it too. A real time saver! Awesome that we can use plugins now, too!

1. Cannot set vibration on or off. 2. Cannot manually enable/disable a profile. In fact the app is not profile-based, you do not create profiles, only rules that trigger automatically. Should be an option to manually enable a profile for a limited time or until switched off. 3. Cannot edit settings, only add or delete Gave 2 stars because the app is nicely laid out and it has potential. But until above issues are fixed there are better options, even free.

Personalisation comes at a price. Fiddling. Want the battery to last? Fiddle with the settings. Want a bright screen when charging? More fiddling. Fed up of your screen unlock when connected to your home wifi, but afraid you'll forget to turn it back on when you go out? This neat app lets you automate it all to fit your daily routine. Get accustomed to the preset 'template' profiles and the app's true potential quickly becomes clear. Auto-on bluetooth when driving? Auto silence after bedtime? Aaah. Bliss :)
