How do YOU use Smart Actions?

[JOSHSKORN]

I would like some input from the community as to how one uses Smart Actions. I would like to more efficiently use my phone and would love to see what ideas other DROID RAZR/DROID RAZR MAXX users have thought of.

I tried, but I'm not impressed with smart actions. I think the rules are to rigid for the average user, and I saw no real benefit, battery or otherwise for using

OK, is there an alternative that you know of and have tried?

There's afew threads covering smart action uses already.


I mainly use it to turn brightness down and change wallpapers when connected to various Wi-Fi locations. Also I disable background data when no movement is detected.

When I hook headphones up (my car dock) at night time hours it brings the brightness way down and during the day way up...

When I plug in headphones it turns on Pandora.

Display off with no movement turns off sync and data.

I use it via the hours/location trigger for work...silent mode, wifi off, display dimmed, VIP call mode activated...

Does it know when you LEAVE work to automatically undo these actions?

Tasker will let you automate just about anything. Especially if you are rooted.
There's a free trial version available on thier website.

I use the location trigger as well, sometimes i stay longer and once i return home wifi is connected and all my other settings are activated...

I use ringer off except for "VIP" phone calls 11:00pm-5:00am.

Battery extender.

Turn GPS, background data, brightness all the way down, etc. when below 20%.

For work I disable almost everything except cell data. I also set the ringer to vibrate with a few select contacts for VIP. I also use it for low battery warnings, so if I run my battery down to 10% it turns my data and everything off to conserve itself.

I only have mine set to turn data off and wifi on when I'm home. I get almost 3 days of battery life every time with it.
