Schedule Airplane Mode For Multiple Time Periods On iPhone

by on
Leave a comment
Most people like keeping their smartphones switched on 24 hours a day. Back in the feature phone age, many of us preferred switching off our phones before going to sleep, but now everyone receives notifications instantly even if it turns out to be a Farmville request at 3 o' clock in the morning. The Do Not Disturb toggle in iOS 6 can help you sleep peacefully, but it doesn’t have any positive impact on the battery life of your iPhone. After all, if you aren’t going to receive any notifications, why waste your battery by keeping internet and carrier reception on. Toggling Airplane mode on sounds like a good option in this scenario, but trying to remember doing that each day is a bit too tedious. That’s where AirplaneScheduler can help you. This handy Cydia tweak lets you map out a full schedule to toggle Airplane mode automatically, with multiple activation and deactivation times of your choice. Read More

The history of whatever you do on your computer and in your browser is saved in different locations. Automatically created logs such as MRU (Most Recently Used) list, recently used documents and files, run commands, search history etc. all have their own storage location. While browsing, every page you visit, every word or phrase that search for, and any information that you fill in forms is stored and can be retrieved by anyone who knows how to access it. All this data is stored on your computer for your own convenience to provide you quick access to your recently accessed files and websites, help you with filling forms, keep your browsing sessions active so that you don't have to log in to web services each time, and speed up browsing by caching some web content. However, cleaning this data from time to time is advisable. Free Internet Eraser is an application for Windows that lets you protect your privacy by allowing you to delete such data. You can schedule the cleaning process to be performed at regular intervals, and set to restart or shutdown the PC once cleaning is done. Read More

Phone Schedule is a simple, yet extremely effective Android app that lets you create scheduled tasks regarding various actions that you wish could be performed on your device automatically. For instance, using the app’s predefined list of actions, you can opt to create scheduled tasks pertaining to, well, almost anything, such as sound and alert profiles, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Airplane mode, device volumes (ringtone, alarm, notification, media) and plenty more. Can’t stick with the same ringtone for an eternity? No worries! With this app, you can also create a scheduled task for changing your device’s default ringtone to a selected one after a specific time duration. The same applies to your device’s default notification tone, too. All you need to do is create a new task with personalized scheduled settings, and forget about tinkering with the relevant actions manually. Instead, the app will serve the favor for you by continuously running in the background, and taking care of all the scheduled tasks. Want to temporarily pause a scheduled task without removing it from the list permanently? There is option within the app for that as well. You can select any task that you wish to put on hold for a brief period of time. Once the specified time period expires, the task is restored with the default settings. Read More
