Thank you.  I did repost it to the Smart Actions forum at the direction of others from the RAZR MAXX forum.

 I would like to create a night time silent mode for phone ringer, text and email notifications with a few exceptions.  Reading the post above makes me wary to do so.  We all need our sleep but sometimes we absolutely must respond to some calls without exception.  If after responding to such a call and returning to bed after a couple hours, the furthest thing from my mind would be fiddling with my phone.  Will Smart Actions help me?

Hi troyw3412,

I have two options to fix your rule:

1) Try deleting the rule, recreate it, then test. 

2) If that doesn't fix your issue, you can always clear the cache, but this is much more aggressive and you will lose your custom rules.

"Clear Data" by going to Settings>Applications>Manage applications and tap on the SmartActions app.

If that doesn't work then we can discuss further.

Thank you for the suggestions.  I found those solutions afterr a quick google search when I first discovered this problem.  Sadly, this only corrects the issue until he first call comes in that I do not wish for the phone to alert me of an incoming call.  And then the phone continues to remain silent for all incoming calls; including 'VIP CALLERS'.

Mdblitz,

Unfortunately, there is not yet a solution to this problem that I have found.  Unfortunately, the only thing I have found is to use the DW Contacts application that was listed before.  Then manually switch the rules on and off when the time frames roll around, as apparently there's a glitch somewhere between the Android OS, Motorola's overlay, and the DW Contacts app.

Over the past few weeks, there have been other issues discovered with this phone that has led me to pure discontent with Motorola and their products.  I'm now having to restart the phone multiple times throughout the day as it seems to randomly lose the data connection and will literally sit there, connecting to the 4G network, then disconnect.  Verizon is sending a replacement phone.  I'd rather tell them to take this piece of $h#+ back, void the contract and I will go with something else.

This will be the LAST Motorola product I ever purchase!  Have never been frustrated with a phone.  Not even the old BlackBerry Storm2 that I was so happy to get rid of after the first year...

Mdblitz,

Thank you for the tip.  The more I am reading about this phone, the more disgusted I am becoming with this phone and Verizon as well.

Seems that each of the reasons I decided to buy this phone simply DON'T WORK.  Smart actions = FAIL!  4G LTE = FAIL!

Sorry for ranting, and this is the last post I make on the topic.  I realize there are now two issues that I am working against.  But hoping someone may have a cure for this thing before I return to the Verizon store and raise enough ruckus that they take this thing back.  Unfortunately, I have been patient past the 14-day period, so may have to get downright angry to get it resolved.

Troy, thank you. Many people have posted elsewhere of dropping connections. My opinion, as a forum expert stated there are growing pains. "4g" upgrades, and probably MoGoDroid. My dumb phone never notified me of emails not critical to my responsibilities. I only need to respond 24-7 for a week at a time to a few numbers. No texts or emails. Manual ain't smart but may be my recourse. I will always remember thethe look on the faces of my one son and girlfriend when I toldthem I "upgraded " to a DROID.
