      Lots of things

      • Change my ringtone based on time/location
      • Silence phone if my calendar has the word meet or meeting
      • Parse a local news website and read the headlines to me after I dismiss my morning alarm
      • Set up car mode if it is plugged in and connected to my car’s Bluetooth
      • Turn on WiFi based on location
      • etc

        I have a script which saves my fine location to a Google sheet when I disconnect from my car’s Bluetooth. If, like me, you are the sort of klutz who can lose their car in a two-car garage…

      The main thing is a script to stop any media playing and turn off the screen after x minutes, so I can fall asleep watching YouTube or listening to something. There’s probably already an app for that but this is pretty customizable.

      Another stupid use is putting the phone on silent while using the camera app because Samsung won’t let you turn off the camera shutter sound.

      I’ve got some that pulls the picture from Bing and the picture from NASA and set them to my wall paper and lock screen back grounds.

      I’ve got another one that silences my phone when I’m at work or church and not connected to my car blue tooth. I used something similar in college to silence my phone when a calendar event was happening. My phone never made a peep during a lecture! It resets volumes to normal levels after the silent period is done.

      I used to get up at 5am and had to get ready for work in the dark so I didn’t wake my family. I’m a klutz and fumbling with my phone’s flashlight constantly just got annoying.

      I ended up making a little script so that between 5am and 5:30, shaking the phone turned the flashlight on. After 5:30 the sensor turns off to save battery, since I didn’t really need it at that point.

      You can do all kinds of handy little things like that
