Darned... I got excited thinking this software would let me schedule on/off time for the "ringer." My mobile phone has replaced my landline, so I like to leave it on all night in case I need to make an emergency call during the night. But I don't want to be awakened by someone calling the wrong number late at night. Currently I manually change profiles on my 6315, but I don't always remember.... Joe

Joe,

Check out http://zendrui.free.fr/ for a tool called PocketZenPhone. Its actuallly written for the XDA 1/2 but recently there were some reports indicating that it works well on the ipaq too. It does full profile management including scheduled switches etc.

You can also get more information at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=58724#58724

Beware, its long! Hope this helps.

I use MeetingMute by PocketConcepts (www.pocketconcepts.com) for that - it reads appointments from your outlook calendar and mutes the pda / phone during specified appointments (as determined by categories). I have a "Mute Phone" category, so all I do is mark an appointment as a member and meetingmute takes care of the rest.

I have been using Phone Today from www.burroak.on.ca

Does this same scheduler thing but also has some other features that make it much easier to use by XDA II. Nice piece of software - my favourite of the bunch.
