Location Profiler Discussion

[Smiley88]

Automatically change sound profile when you arrive or leave your home or the
office or any location.

Location Profiler uses the network cell tower information to manage your
profiles. When arrive at a location Profiler will automatically change the
profile. Optionally you can set up a profile when you leave the location.
Example would be from Home going to the Office.

Note: Location Profiler will not change the Profile if the BlackBerry® is in
the Holster or keyboard locked. You will get a vibrate to notify you to
unholster or unlock the device. (optionally you can use Profiler's keyboard
locking)

Requirement:

* BlackBerry® OS 4.2 and Higher

Features:

* Supports GSM and CDMA networks
* Each profile can have "Arrive" and "Leave" profile
* Supports Custom profiles
* Assign custom ringtone or sound when you arrive at a location
* Automatically gather cell id for the current location
* Assign up to 5 different cell ids per profile
* Optionally vibrate when device is in Holster
* Optionally vibrate when keyboard is locked
* Optionally use Location Profiler internal keyboard locking for the
system keyboard work around
* Compatible with our Profiler application
* Very easy to use

Compatibility:

* Work in conjunction with Profiler application
* 8700 Series
* 8800 Series
* Pearl 81xx and 82xx Series
* Curve Series
* Bold
* Storm

You know what would be pretty cool for LocationProfiler, if we can manage radios (wifi, cell, bluetooth, etc) depending on locations. At work, I do not connect to a Wifi network so it would be nice to be able to shut it off when I am there.

Also, with more phones with built-in GPS, will a future version support GPS?

This needs to have a time based profiler as well, that would make this app perfect.

i seem to be having a problem understanding how this program works. i have 4 locations setup, all of which are cell towers that i access from home. i am trying to set this up so when i am at home, my 'home' profile is automatically enabled and when i leave, i want the 'work' profile to be activated. i have setup 4 home locations (home1, home2, home3 and home4) and added all 4 cell towers to each. At this point because i've only been at home and those are the only locations setup, my home profile should be active and not my work profile. how do i keep it from jumping to the work profile when i am clearly at home. Also, how do you determine what cell tower you are using and how do you manually enter it so this stops? am i missing something here? please help.

if you have only a Home profile setup then the "leave" profile will change whenever a new cell tower id is located at your home. There might be more cell id that you have not gotten. the best way is goto the Manage Location screen and select Start Gathering and wait for 10 mins and then select Stop Gathering.

what you can also do is set the Leave profile for your Home to "none".
the next time you are at work goto the Manage Location and gather all the cell id for your office and set up a new Profile "office" and set the "Leave" profile to none.

now that you have home and office profiles setup it will change when you arrive at home and office. the only thing it wont do is change profile when you leave home and office but once you arrive at the location the profile will switch.

I was just looking to see if there was a new beta for Location Profiler and noticed that the program seems to have changed names to Cell ID. Is this a newer version of Location Profiler or a different program altogether? Thanks.

I just installed the 0.113 OS leak so I get another few days at evaluating this software for the 2nd time. I have some new questions.
Why does the program launch the BB profile window and force me to pick a profile every time I start it up/reboot? Shouldn't it just operate in the background without interaction?

When I gather locations, the Network and System fields get assigned 0 however if I manually "Get Location" those fields are now populated. Are they necessary or do I really only need "Cell ID"?

you need to set the permissions for Location Profiler to all ALLOW in the Options app. You can ignore the Network values.
