Silent Hours 4.2.1

For users of Android 5.0/5.1 Lollipop, this application offers the capability to fully silence your device, a functionality that was diminished with Google's introduction of the priority mode, which replaced the standard silent mode. However, due to the variations in how different manufacturers implement the new volume and notification settings, performance may not be consistent across all devices running these versions.

Those who find themselves frequently disturbed by notifications during the night will appreciate this app’s utility in muting audio at designated times each day. Users can easily customize the silent hours to maintain uninterrupted rest.

The application provides several useful features while sound is muted:

• Option to mute games, music, and other audio sources.
• Vibration can be enabled during silent periods.
• Volume can be locked to muted to prevent accidental adjustments.
• Brightness can be lowered to a user-set level, with the previous brightness remembered.
• Notification light can be disabled during silent hours.
• Incoming calls can momentarily unmute sound, resuming silence after the call ends.

This service remains active even after rebooting the device, ensuring consistent performance. Additionally, users have the option to set quick mute periods for unscheduled events. Keep in mind that if a mute or unmute time is set for before the current time, this will take effect on the following day.

The application supports multiple languages including English, Swedish, Russian, and German, enhancing its accessibility to a broader audience.

Regarding permissions, the application requires:

• RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: To initiate service upon device start-up.
• READ_PHONE_STATE: To detect incoming calls and briefly disable sound during those periods.
• WRITE_SETTINGS: To adjust display brightness settings as needed.

User feedback is encouraged and appreciated through direct communication rather than ratings; this approach facilitates more effective management of suggestions and bug reports.
