The problem with that, is suddenly its not accurate enough for you to really trust. And if you want it to be setting to silent while at work, and it doesn't.. Your still going to want to manually set it each time. You'd need an actual GPS check and x minutes check can still have the same issues as well.

Time based, however, sounds very simple and I can't see why not.

Meh it happens quite often. What DOESN'T happen to most quite often is when you silent phone stops ringing.. and resumes music (that you weren't listening to) and blasts it over the speakers... is when you have issues. Happened to me 4-5 times now and I can't wait for PR.1.2.
