Have it be a calendar or fields of input for your days of work and what times you work, and during those periods of time your phone goes from its normal ring tone to a vibrate or whatever else you choose.

Just my for a new invention.

There are third party applications you can get that do this (depending on your phone's OS and your ability to install programs).

Some phones (like Kyocera) have it so that during an appointment, the phone goes to a silent mode.

Also movie and lunch/dinner settings. It would replicate the sound the phone makes when it is at the bottom of the ocean.

not sure which lg you have, but all three of the ones I have had so far have a manner mode. Hold the * key for a second or so and it switches everything to vibrate.

Hopefully thats a decent fix to what you were suggesting. It's not automatic, but its easy to turn on and off.

I just press and hold # for a sec, and it puts on female enjoyment mode. But I only have a shitty SamSung SGH-T509.
