IntelliRing sets ringtone volume based on ambient noise and if it’s in your pocket or purse [App

Setting my ringer to the maximum volume is the only way I’ll ever hear it over the music in my car. But there are times when hearing Mt. Eden’s “Sierra Leone” at full-blast is unnecessary and jarring. IntelliRing is an Android app that can solve that problem by making your ringer volume only as loud as you need it.
IntelliRing is a smart ringer application that sets ringtone volume based on sensor data and user-defined settings. Rather than have a take-it-or-leave-it approach of setting volume to a specific number, the app uses ambient noise to determine how loud it should play. So if you’re in a room with no noise, the ringer might be set at 3 of 7. But if you’re in a park full of hustle and bustle, IntelliRing knows to increase the volume to 7.
Aside from using ambient noise to determine volume, IntelliRing also users proximity sensors to determine if it’s in a purse or pocket. Sensors reveal when the phone is removed from its hiding place, so the volume is quickly lowered until the owner answers the phone. Other nifty tricks include similar settings for notification sounds, and the ability to set a meeting mode that will simply beep and vibrate when the phone is placed flat, facedown on a desk.
IntelliRing includes calibration and settings to ensure consistent performance and personalized performance. There’s even a silent mode timer that can put the phone into silent mode for a set amount of time and automatically revert back to normal settings. Set it to 2 hours when you’re watching a movie and Intelliring will go back to normal settings once 2 hours passes.
The only complaint I had about IntelliRing during my testing of the app was that I never figured out how to turn off vibrate when in meeting mode. (Vibration sounds can still be loud.) Overall, it’s still a crafty app for people who sometimes wish that their phone knew what ringer volume was really necessary. Download the free 30-day trial version of the app and if you’re pleased with the results, upgrade to the full $2.00 version.

To the author: Thank you for a favorable review of our app. We are glad you like it. Just to let you know we have released a bugfix version yesterday, where the vibration issue in meeting mode should be resolved. Cheers!
the HTC Sense UI already does this, unsure about samsung, but it is a good idea and convenient in a noisy atmosphere, and discrete in quiet places
As I web-site possessor I believe the content matter here is rattling excellent , appreciate it for your hard work. You should keep it up forever! Good Luck.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
I actually was basically exploring for ideas for my personal
site and discovered ur post, “Fastest Cars
In The World: Top 10 List 2012-2013″, would you mind if perhaps I personally implement many of ur concepts?
I’m extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a nice blog like this one these days..
I registered and paid today was I still on time?
Thanks for the posting. I have generally seen that the majority of people are desirous to lose weight simply because wish to appear slim and attractive. On the other hand, they do not generally realize that there are more benefits to losing weight as well. Doctors state that overweight people are afflicted with a variety of ailments that can be perfectely attributed to their own excess weight. Thankfully that people who are overweight as well as suffering from several diseases are able to reduce the severity of their own illnesses by simply losing weight. You possibly can see a slow but marked improvement with health if even a negligible amount of weight loss is achieved.
Thanks for the publish. My spouse and i have generally noticed that a lot of people are needing to lose weight simply because they wish to look slim as well as attractive. Even so, they do not generally realize that there are additional benefits for you to losing weight also. Doctors insist that overweight people have problems with a variety of illnesses that can be instantly attributed to the excess weight. The great thing is that people who are overweight and suffering from different diseases can reduce the severity of the illnesses by simply losing weight. You possibly can see a constant but marked improvement in health if even a slight amount of fat reduction is realized.
