Well This application called Llama, once set-up properly can identify where you are and turn on / off certain features of your phone such as ring volume, vibrate, or completely silent. And instead of using GPS which can destroy your phones battery life, it uses cell towers, something thats already on. So with my android phone, whenever I reach campus it turns to vibrate, whenever I reach my apartment back to loud, and after 11pm, silent till 6am.
Give it a try! Its Free!
Wow that's really convenient!! I know that my ringtone goes off in class several times. It really is embarrassing, and is very disrespectful. It's smart that they use cell towers instead of GPS, battery life is important especially if you are gone 10 hours a day!
ReplyDeleteWill definitely try this. Only question is what if I live on campus? How accuarate are the cell towers?
ReplyDeleteWell i live right off campus, like 1/2 a mile and it can tell the difference, there are about 2-3 cell towers in asu campus range, does take a while to get used to how it works so dont give up!
ReplyDeleteThats an awesome application for my friends. His phone went off during a job interview that he really needed to get. This app can save people from uncomfortable situations. Anything that saves battery life is very useful!!
