Uses i can think of right away:
-Put one on my desk at work to activate silent/vibrate mode, turn on wifi
-Put one in my car for card mode or activate GPS
-Put one near my bed for silent/sleep/alarm
Tasker does all of this. Mine is set up as below:
-M-F 7:45am-5:15pm phone goes to vibrate. Goes loud after 5:30. It looks at my calendar, and if booked, goes to silent, turns off vibrate.
-if bluetooth connects to car, launches car mode and gps on. Also have it set to send an automated text response to anyone who texts me, letting them know I am driving and will text back when it is safe to do so.. Also, a cop really liked that... Didn't give me a speeding ticket because of it.
-if plugged in after 9pm, and in a horizontal position, screen dims, phone goes silent, and alarm app activates. Also have it set for a list of emergency numbers, so if any of them call, it goes out of silent.
Other thing it does:
-launches an app menu when I plug in headphones
-mutes volume if headphones disconnect
-plays loud music and sends gps location, along with displaying emergency contact info if someone texts me SOS! (good for finding lost/stolen phone)
-if I connect to mall wifi, it launches coupons
It can do pretty much anything you can think of.
Like I said, I want a use for this, but Tasker can already do all of this, and more. Once set up, it's easier as well, because I don't have to launch any apps or touch anything. It just works.
