^^ Does it? I’ve been using aerize since I got it free, but I bought peekawho a few weeks ago. I’m going to have to check this now.

This software “conflicts” with my PeekaWho and as a result AutoStandby doesn’t work in some circumstances.

They discontinued the 99 cent “special.”

Poor resolution.

Well, I got it. I like it, the features are useful, the mute button thing is annoying.

Good idea
Badly implemented

A weak excuse for pulling the offer

The transaction fee was a known factor before the offer, so if that was a surprise after the offer was made, consider hiring a new person for public relations / marketing

Yeah. Shouldn’t advertise it as a one day sale if it isn’t going to be.

Kinda disappointing abt the 99 cents offer being taken away before the day is over…bad marketing!!

Great promo price- unlike that Aerize deal yesterday, I was able to get in on this one before it went up to a higher (though still discounted) price. Thanks, Zaventh!

Thanks everyone for an amazing response! We had so many we actually are being asked to tone back the discounted price, since they have to pay a transaction fee per sale. Sorry about that everyone, hope those of you who acted first got in on the deal!

It’s a great deal. I wanted to buy it, but I didn’t want to pay $5 for it. But, $0.99 is much better.

Crap! Just bought this app on Saturday!

Works really well, though. Just takes a little adjusting to pressing the mute key instead of star+call.

Thanks Ron! Yes, it’s the same standby mode that occurs when you hold down the mute key and AutoStandby aims to handle this automatically for you so there’s no need to worry about whether or not your device is in standby or not! It works very much like the built in locking feature, running autonomously in the background and working cooperatively with holsters and lock mode, except that standby mode can save a huge amount of battery life… some users claim up to around 50% increase: http://forums.crackberry.com/f35/new-application-autostandby-46265/index13.html#post841559 . It’s also a lot easier to restore from standby, just one click of the mute key.

Yep, you can manually enter standby using the mute key, and AutoStandby aims to handle this automatically for you so you don’t even need to think about it, just like you said. It works a lot like the built in lock feature, working autonomously, but unlike lock can save an incredible amount of battery life… up to nearly 50% some users claim: http://forums.crackberry.com/f35/new-application-autostandby-46265/index13.html#post841559

Great looking app & price.

Wouldn’t holding down the mute key on the top also put the device into this mode?

Even so, I like this app in case you forget to do it manually.
