I am using Power Tools and it does EVERYTHING!
Set my Scheduler for BT to go on and off for those times I am in my car and saves battery during the workday when I have no use for it. Set my LEDS for incoming email and SMS. Set system sounds so when I plug in at my desk and my wonky micro usb port acts up, I can play a sound to tell me the phone is charging!!!!!!!!!!!

Works great headless!!!!!!
Thanks for a great app!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Itstakenovermylife]

This app is amazing! Love scheduling Bluetooth, Profile changes, and the ability to set up the System Sounds (i.e. when charging, battery full, screen lock and unlock). The SMS blocker is awesome, and the customer LED's for messages/txt is perfect. This app takes the place of 5-6 others, and the fact that it runs headless is an added kicker. Definitely the best purchase I've made thus far for my Z10.

Also, the developer is a charm. Excellent communication and feedback, responds to issues quickly, and truly seems to care about developing for the BB10 community.

Thank you Toysoft for an amazing job!!!

Love that you added the ability to change profiles based on my Q10 being in or out of the holster. Great update!!

[mwsmith916]

I guess it's safe to say there will be no more updates to the active frame version..

No. Actually a new version has been submitted for OS10.2 to include Holster support. Just waiting for approval. Eventually when OS10.2.1 is released then the Active Frame version will stop support.

[mwsmith916]

Oh that's good news. Anything else in the works? More alarm options maybe, ever anything come up from the Facebook led not working, idk

We tested with facebook and the led is working. Make sure in Facebook notification screen you turn off all the alerts.

[mwsmith916]

Yes they are off. Led setting is off. Are you suppose to get a notification count with fb messages? Cause if so i dont get anything.

[Chi Cong Nguyen]

The same to me. Everything works ok except Facebook led.

When are you planning on supporting BBM and whatsapp

Posted via CB10

When BlackBerry release the sdk for BBM. Will look into WhatsUp.

[Boight]

One request.. an extra short vibration for call connect instead of the long one that buzzes your ear off if you bring your phone up too soon.

[Smiley88]

Version for the Active Frame has been approved.

This version gives you the Holster feature for changing profiles.

[alimin]

One suggestion for the dev, please make it easier for us to add number to be blocked from spam text messages. At the moment it is just not integrated well with the text messaging of BB10, you have to manually add the number. Would be nice to add a menu option to add to block list from text messaging.

It isn't that we don't want to but it isn't possible to do with text message right now.

For email you can do this with the Headless version. Just select the email and hold it down and select Share and select Power Tools.

Or perhaps you could implement the method used by SMS Blocker app by opening an option from that app to choose spam text messages instead of opening text messaging app and Share with Power Tools.

Hello,

Love this app. A lot of great features.

I am wondering if you were thinking about adding a battery percentage indicator to your app, to show your battery percentage on the main screen. not even sure if this is possible or not.

Thanks

It is possible with the active frame version where you can include a battery percentage and the date. this feature is not part of the headless app because 10.2 you can see battery percentage on the homescreen.

The best productivity tool for BlackBerry 10 just got a lot better.

I'm not sure how this sdk thing work but isn't it out yet if "Hub ++" can make my BBM led blue headless?

The first initial setup it should activate right away. When you leave the location it may take up to 15 minutes depending on if GPS is available.
Make sure you set all the permissions to allow in the Settings app, security privacy, application permissions. A good idea to reset your BB.

Edit the Goefencing profile and check the vibrate when changing profile. This will give you indication when the profile is switched.
