Is the only option for a good night's sleep to manually put the phone in silent mode?

On Google Voice I have do not disturb hours automatically, so calls at 3am won't ring my phone.
However, I also have people who call my iPhone directly.
I live in Hawaii and I don't need calls coming in at 3am my time, 9am EST.  I can manually put it into silent mode, but last night I forgot, and sure enough the phone blasted away while I was sleeping.
Why can't I say during certain hours don't ring the phone?  This is a smart phone right?

After researching it more today I found at that Apple is falling behind.
With the Android not only can my phone be silenced at 3am automatically, but it will also automatically adjust the ringing and vibration based on my location or at specific times.  For example, if I am in school it knows I am in school and the ringer is shut off automatically, so I don’t get that embarrassing call during a lecture.  Once I leave school I don’t miss calls because the ringer automatically comes back on, I don’t have to remember to change it manually. 
Plus, you can specify certain callers to get through at anytime, for example, my family can still ring my phone at 3am, but no one else.  Daycare can always get through too, even if you are in a meeting you want to know if your child had an emergency.
It can even remind you to charge your battery if it is below a certain percentage and it knows you are now located at home where you can charge it.
I am feeling left out of the technology curve now with the iPhone clunky on / off hardware switch that I have to remember to change manually.

  • 4s putting the phone in silent mode using the silent button then, the phone intermittently vibrates by itself and the silent icon flickers..

    Is this a bug? or someone else experiencing this.  I had a lot of problems since I updated to 8.1.1.. and I thought it will make my phone fast. It freezes most of the time especially switching from one app to another app and i have to manually reboot my phone every time this happens..

    perform basic troubleshooting: Restart (turn off), Reset all settings, Repeat, Restore.

    When I try to open a project, the only option for a new track is for external MIDI device; when I try to open an audio or software instrument track, I get an error message saying that "the specified number of tracks could not be created. Reduce the number of tracks to create and try again." I didn't specify ANY number of tracks. Thanks for help!

    Ah.. then I suspect you just need to go to Logic's prefs/Audio and check CoreAudio...
    It has been unchecked somehow...
    Also.. as an aside.. Be careful not to create such large subject names in future when posting here.. They can cause issues with replying to posts in such threads.. due to a bug in the forum software.. so please keep them short and to the point...

  • I can't remember the password I used when I did a "backup to computer". Does this mean that my only option for backing up my iphone from now on is using the cloud? #I've tried any PW i can recall ever using, I must have gotten creative darn it.#

    I did a backup decided to do a full backup with a password. I forgot the password I used (it was a couple of months ago and I must have gotten creative with it.) Without that password the option to back up to my computer is dead, right? My only option for backup will be the cloud. I want to be sure I understand the mess I am in.    I have tried the passwords I have used before, I cannot believe I did this

  • Row-Based Only option for post processing operator

    Hi,
    Have a question on the role of the "Row-base Only" option for post processing operators. I am trying to understand how a post-processing operation can be done in a row-based mode. A coded PLSQL procedure in a post processing operator is expected to run only once. So I am not clear on how this option might affect the execution of the transformation. Any clarifications would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mazen

    Hi Carsten,
    My question is more on what is the use of the "Row-based only" checkbox that shows up in the properties window for a post-processing operator. How does this checkbox affect the execution of the post-processing transformation?

    Mazen

  • HT204074 Is "Deauthorize All" my only option for Computer Authorizations?

    According to the support pages I have read, I should be able to "Manage Devices" on the Account Information page. But I only have "Deauthorize All" as an option. I'm I missing something? I'm I not looking in the right place? Is "Deauthorize All" my only option for Computer Authorizations?

    I have two lines, one on AT&T and one on Verizon.
    On AT&T, 450 minutes, 200SMS (200SMS is no longer offered) and unlimited data for $80.40 after taxes.
    On Verizon, I have 450 minutes, 1000SMS and 2GB Data for $86.
    There are pay as you go retailers out there such as Cricket but you will pay full price for the phone but less per month to use it.

    Shot videos ONLY in landscape. For photos choose what's you like. Maybe you have to rotate photos on PC. What's your operating system?

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

    You can try putting the iPhone into DFU mode and see if that will let you restore and remove the jailbreak:
    http://osxdaily.com/2010/06/24/iphone-dfu-mode-explained-and-how-to-enter-dfu-mo de-on-your-iphone/
    Some jailbreaks cannot be removed and in some cases will permanently disable your iPhone. If that happens to you, then you will have to buy a new iPhone; Apple will provide no support, warranty or out-of-warranty, for a jailbroken iPhone.
    You're on your own from here. We can provide no further help with a jailbroken iPhone in these forums.
    Good luck.

  • My text notification light no longer works now since the Lollipop upgrade.  How do I get it back since i use my phone in silent mode most of the time?

    My text notification light no longer works now since the Lollipop upgrade.  How do I get it back since i use my phone in silent mode most of the time?

        We want you to love your software update pitbullmommy71! When did you update your phone? Have you tried going into phone settings and set up your notifications as you would like them? It can take a few days for your phone to normalize after the update, but this may be a bit much. Some apps may no longer be compatible with the new software so you can try running phone in Safe Mode or do a Hard Reset to see if this improves your phone. I've seen where some have completed a Hard Reset after the update and downloaded all same apps, and phone works flawlessly now. However, if you'd like to try Safe Mode first, (which is where all 3rd party apps are disabled), you can certainly try this for 24 hours to see if improves.

  • How can you turn off the braille setting on an iPhone 4s, once on it won't let you slide the phone into use mode to change the settings or do anything?

    How can you turn off the braille setting on an iPhone 4s, once on it won't let you slide the phone into use mode to change the settings or do anything?

    An alternate method is Accessibility Settings when connected to iTunes. You should be able to turn it off there. I would also check out some of the answers listed to the right of this post and see if they can help.
