As suggested, Proximus should try in some way emulate what Nokia Situation does, one thing I miss the most is postioning via Cell Towers, I believed to be more advantageous over the usage of GPS location due to battery consumption. Besides, the ability to toggle Flight mode on and off is also quite desirable.

Just because you see a compass icon doesn't mean it's using GPS.
GPS = satellites
Uncheck "use gps" and it won't use satellite, or the GPS chip.You still get a status icon. Ask Nokia why, not me
Any rule created that has a time component will have two QTimer objects created to keep track of what times the rule can potentially become active and inactive. There's also a QSystemAlignedTimer that runs every 45-60 minutes to check for relavent calendar entries, and it creates 2 more QTimers if it sees any. I'll probably change them all to QSystemAlignedTimer but since they don't fire very often the savings won't be much.

Looks great!
Would It be possible to add detection of wlan access points for rules?
A Nice feature would be the ability to switch background connections on/off.

Maybe I can run a 2nd daemon later but that is getting kinda silly.
cron-type command execution with easy user interface is something I have been waiting for N9. Something similar of "alarmed" in n900. Proximus would be a good candidate for that. Is this using harmattan "timed" for time based exection?

This would allow something like:
- between 23h and 6h => silent mode (or better, limited connection to save battery)
- if nearby my office wifi => silent mode, but with full connectivity, so I can be notified for my private stuff without bothering the open space
- everything else => ringing, full connectivity.
Thanks for the good work !

@Creamy Goodness
It might not be using the GPS chip but it still seems to be wanting to get a location. The compass shows up and my battery app shows that Positioning is hogging a ton of power (no other apps running that would use it.)
Along with that, not sure if I set a rule wrong, but I had it set to go to silent for hours of work and it doesn't work. Is a reboot (restart of the daemon) needed to make a rule work? I think I did it anyway (can't quite remember) but the phone doesn't go to silent.

Can you add support for disabling the lockscreen code when on certain recognised wifi networks? There was an app on the N900 which allowed that, it was very useful.

The logic is confusing for that part, maybe I missed something.

The GPS logic is very simple, however, at least on my end. I don't really want to blame Nokia because it is difficult to prove, but I'm pretty sure whatever you're looking at is caused by the CPU usage of their positioning daemon. It is indeed quite "high" (meaning greater than zero) when it's been told not to track satellites and that we only want to know the position every minute or two. I'm not sure exactly what to do about that...
-edit- I found and fixed the bug for the time rule not activating / deactivating.
