Automagic Forum

Is it possible to trigger, test or set audio profile in JB 4.1.1 eg outside, general, silent, meeting and any others that have been selected by the user? I cannot find anything that relates to audio profiles within automagic!

Hi,

I'm not sure to what kind of audio profiles you are referring to. What kind of device and ROM are you using, CyanogenMod? Can you select the audio profiles in the system settings of your device?

Automagic allows to set the different ringer modes available on regular Android phones like Silent, Vibrate and Normal using action Set Ringer Mode and allows to change different types of volumes using action Set Audio Volume.

No, it's not cyanogenmod - there isn't one for my phone which is an Alcatel X'Pop 5035D running stock android JB 4.1.1.

In settings/device I have got Gestures, audio profiles, display, storage, battery and applications - and within audio profiles I have got predefined General, Silent, Meeting and outdoor. Meeting is vibrate only, outdoor is loudest ring and vibrate, silent is silent, and general allows for the setting of vibrate, volume, ringtones, notification tones etc etc. It is possible to add additional profiles with their own name and with all the options of general setting available for configuration. I assumed this was a stock Android feature - am I mistaken??

This seems to be a ROM specific feature. I doubt that this can be switched using Automagic since the manufacturers usually don't provide a way to change such settings from third party apps.
Rarely the ROMs allow to switch some settings using home screen shortcuts. In this case you could try to build a shortcut with Launch Shortcut.

You may not be able to change phone's profiles with automagic, but using "set audio volume" action you can easily create your own profiles and set their working logic within automagic. The downside is that aside from different trigger and condition setups these "profiles" won't be accessible outside automagic.

Yes that is very true matuma - but it is so much easier to define the profile via settings when the volume levels for notifications, ring, call etc are all available on the same screen with their own sliders. I was hoping I could have saved myself some tedious slog to set up profiles by hand/automagic!! Never mind - I'll just create my own pseudo profiles instead with automagic.
UPDATED: Managed to 'solve' this in a not so nice way but it works by using a global variable to pass a parameter to a flow triggered by global variable which launches settings/audio profile, waits a second for page load, calls the UI and clicks the button corresponding to global variable before doing a back() and home() to exit the flow. Will have to wait and see how this works in practice - but it sets the profiles accordingly and just needs a set global variable in any other flow to trigger the change.
