[APP][2.1+][05 FEB] Silent Hours 4.0 - Mute your device during set times

---

Silent Hours


Silent Hours is an application which mutes the audio on your device during times set by you, to allow for better sleep during the night or during boring lectures.

Features:

• Perform a quick mute for a set duration
  
• Mute the audio on your device during set times
• Possible to also mute media
• Possible to activate vibration
• Set brightness to desired level upon mute
• Lock volume to muted, to avoid accidental changes
• Temporarily unmute sound on incoming calls
• Reboot persistent

I am aware of the fact that several applications like this already exist on the Play Store, but I am of the opinion that more options are better, at least if they are developed with quality and reliability in mind.
Several of the other alternatives also lack own graphics/drawables, which makes them look different with different manufacturer skins, and many have not been updated in a long time.

Changelog:
IMPORTANT: Because of a crashed hard drive and Google Play limitations, version 3.0 and forward had to be submitted as a new application.

13.02.05 (v4.0):

• Fixed issues with calls unmuting sound when it shouldn't
• New GUI
• Added brightness settings for periods - lower the brightness during the night
• Preparations for bigger updates

12.09.03 (v3.0.1):
Added Quick mute: Set a quick, one time silent period
The options to unmute on incoming call and to lock the volume are now period specific
Remade the user interface to fit better within the design guidelines for Android 4.0 and 4.1.
New application icon

12.06.02 (v2.0):
Set as many disable periods as you like, on whichever weekdays you want
For each period you can set whether to enable vibration and/or mute media

v1.4.2:
Added Russian language (thanks to ViNNNtalik@XDA for translating)

v1.4.1:
Fixed a bug which caused audio to not be reenabled when it was supposed to.

v1.4:
Added the possibility to unmute the sound on incoming call. The sound will be muted again when the call is ended.
Changed so that when the hour or minute pickers loop when using the buttons to change the time.
Stability fixes for the old settings.

Feedback and suggestions for new features are as welcome as ever!

Planned future features:

• More languages
• Location based mute

Please share issues and any ideas for new functionality here rather than in low score reviews, I want new ideas to make the application better.

If Play Store says your device is incompatible, use this APK instead: Download

Hi Akerskuuug,
both your apps are incompatible with my devices (Nexus S ICS 4.0.4 480x800, LG P500 GB 2.3.7 320x480, both unlocked and rooted). Is there any chance to get the APKs via your threads here at XDA? Perhaps the incompatibility is the reason for the little feedback...

I really can't understand why my applications are incompatible with some devices even though the Developer Console says they should be compatible. Both of your devices are said to be supported.

Thank you for the tip, I'll update both of my OP with the APK:s.
Here is this one.

Just downloaded this, will be checking it out.

I have now disabled the copy protection on Play Store, which has caused problems for other developers. Could you please try to download the application from Play Store again (link) and see if your devices are now compatible? I would appreciate this a lot!

Great, I hope you like it!

That was fast! Thanks!
I'll check them out and hope to give some positive feedback!
Since I'm no developer I cannot help you with the market problem, but because I had some market, sorry, play store problems with the ROM on the Nexus last week, I also tried installing it via Web browser on my laptop. Last time that worked but with your apps it did not.


EDIT:
Okay, that solved the problem! At least installation via web browser worked on my Nexus but that could be the above mentioned problem with the ROM.
Now both apps are installed and I will try them! I think I will give you feedback during the next days! Thanks again!

No point in me being slow!

Thanks for downloading and thanks a lot for trying again! I hope you like the apps, don't hesitate to ask for any functionality you think is missing.

Perhaps half hour intervals for the time?

I have thought about it, and it has been suggested a few times before for both this and my other app. I am a bit concerned about whether a 48 item list would be too long on a small to medium sized display.

On the other hand, for most users it is a one time setup so I guess the inconvenience would not be that great.

If I don't hear any protests I will implement 30 minute intervals for the time tomorrow.

Funny, exactly what I thought!
The .5 hour intervals were what I missed first but then again I thought about how long the list would be...
Any chance to get that 'revolve' function (don't really know what term to be used but I hope you know what I mean) like the alarm clock in ICS but with 30 min intervals instead of 1 min?
Other than that I like your apps! Very clean interface, not overloaded and they integrate nice into the new Android look...
Just have yet to check, if they work without problems.

EDIT: I also checked if the apps are shown on my LG P500, which I gave to my significant other. Both apps are available, so the problem is still on my ROMs side.
