Silence for Android Integrates with Google Calendar, Adjusts Your Sound and Wireless Settings Automatically

Silence for Android Integrates with Google Calendar, Adjusts Your Sound and Wireless Settings Automatically Android: Silence is a great utility or automatically toggling your sound and wireless settings based on specific times of day, and the last time we mentioned it we praised its super-simple UI. Now the app has been updated, and integrates with Google Calendar for automatic quiet hours, can toggle mobile data on or off as well as Wi-Fi, and more.

Silence 2.0 comes with a number of improvements, most notably the ability to toggle your wireless, mobile data, sound, and notifications settings based on appointments in your Google Calendar, so if you have a meeting from 9am to 10am, you can tell Silence to mute all notifications and your ringer (or set it to vibrate) during that time period. You can still set your own quiet periods too, so if you know you'll be in bed between 11pm and 7am the next morning, you can tell Silence to turn everything off while you sleep to conserve battery. Plus, the new version also?depending on your device?can toggle mobile data and airplane mode when you know you won't be using your phone.

The last time we mentioned Silence we noted that while its easy to use, many of you probably get the same effect with more advanced apps like Tasker, Llama, or Locale, but if you want a simpler, faster way to manage those settings with little fuss, Silence is a simpler way to do it. Alternatively, it's still a great app to suggest to someone who wants those features but isn't interested in paying for or getting their hands dirty with a more advanced tool.

The latest version is free (and ad-supported, there's also a $2 pro version that strips out the ads) and available now at Google Play. Make sure to read the app description?Silence supports Android 2.1 and higher, but how many of the app's features work for you depends on the version of Android your phone is running.
