We all know someone who talks, checks their email or sends a text on their phone, all while driving. And of course some of us are that someone, and we know better, but don’t want to miss anything we believe to be too important to wait.

Well fortunately, with the SMARTACTIONS™ app that comes with the DROID RAZR MAXX HD, you can make sure safety is first, and that your crucial communications still get through.

The SMARTACTIONS Drive rule let’s you set the triggers that turn on the App. For instance, if you leave the house at the same time every morning, you can set the rule to turn on you actions at that time, so when you buckle up, your phone is ready to go. Some of the ways SMARTACTIONS help keep you focused on the road is by automatically launching the apps you need on the road, like Navigation for your turn by turn directions and Google Play Music for your listening pleasure.

To manage your incoming calls and texts, you can pre-set the volume, vibrate or silent mode for inbound messages. You can also set up custom auto-replys for all callers, just your phonebook contacts, or a specific list, letting them know you are driving and will get back to them soon. You can also have your phone announce who texted or called, so you can know if a pit stop might be in order to reply. These are some of the built-in actions, but as with all SMARTACTIONS, you can customize and make your own rules and triggers.

We all need to stay connected in this always-on world, but keeping ourselves and other drivers around us safe, should always be the number one concern. Staying focused on the road goes a long way towards achieving that goal. Please check out this video to see SMARTACTIONS in action:

Parenting is hard work. Besides having to deal with our own careers, appointments and to-do lists, coordinating the routines of our children is of the utmost importance. Basketball practice, band recitals, overnights with the scout troop, there is a never-ending amount of things to keep track of and to be reminded of. Luckily, with the customizable SMARTACTIONS™app available on your DROID RAZR MAXX HD by Motorola, your kids will be confident they won’t be forgotten in their moments of need.

SMARTACTIONS is intuitive. It learns how you interact with your phone and makes suggestions for rules that will help organize your day. Of course you know your routine better than anyone, so you can always create rules from scratch, or customize the suggestions given.

Setting the meeting rule for the kids’ phones will make sure they won’t ring when in classes, unless it’s mom or dad calling with an emergency and vice versa. You might have an important meeting with the boss and have your meeting rule on, but if your kid has a crisis, the call or text will come through loud and clear. Be sure to tell your kids to save it for emergencies so your boss won’t have a problem with you being interrupted.

And whether you’re driving with rowdy kids, or have that teenager behind the wheel, you can enable the Drive Mode rule and when connected to your Motorola Bluetooth Headset or Vehicle Dock*. Your phone will recognize that you’re driving and launch turn-by-turn navigation, increase ringer volume, announce the names of incoming callers and auto-reply with a text message. Our Vehicle Docks and Bluetooth Headsets help you drive more responsibly while staying connected: use your voice to search for destinations, send texts or email, play music and more. Echo-cancellation and noise reduction make sure you’ll always be heard.

Make a tough job easier with the DROID RAZR MAXX HD and you’ll feel smarter and more confident in your parenting abilities.

Day in the life with SMARTACTIONS™

October 21, 2012 : BY Motorola

“Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb…….”

Great song, but perhaps not a great way to live life. If you need a little help to maintain order and minimize chaos in your daily life, the SMARTACTIONS™ app by Motorola is just for you.

SMARTACTIONS is an app that automates dozens of everyday tasks so you do less fumbling with your phone. It’s free and pre-loaded on the three latest members of the DROID RAZR family by Motorola, the DROID RAZR M, DROID RAZR HD, and DROID RAZR MAXX HD. More about SMARTACTIONS and other compatible phones here.

The app is there for you 24 hours a day to make sure life’s moments are on when you want them to be, and off when you don’t  Let’s see how a typical day can unfold with SMARTACTIONS on your phone:

You rise and shine. Grab the phone and see what you missed….night-owl friend texted at 1 AM. European stock report email newsletter came in at 3 AM. And an unrecognized number called at 5 AM.

But thanks to SMARTACTIONS you slept right through them all, and still had peace of mind knowing that your VIP list will always be able to get through, while the rest won’t.

Shower, snack, out the door, and into the car where you enabled ‘drive mode’ on the SMARTACTIONS app. Synced with your bluetooth headset or vehicle dock, your phone will recognize you’re driving and launch turn-by-turn navigation, increase ringer volume, announce the names of incoming callers, and auto-reply with a text message if you so desire. Our Vehicle Docks and Bluetooth Headsets help you drive more responsibly while staying connected: you can use your voice to search for destinations, send texts or email, play music and more. Echo-cancellation and noise reduction make sure you’ll always be heard.

You arrive at work, double check your meetings for the day and have your ‘meeting rule’ ready to go. No more embarrassing rings or vibrating phones to worry about. The SMARTACTIONS Meeting rule turns your ringer to silent when there’s a meeting on your calendar.

Dinner and drinks after work are in order after a productive day at the office, and SMARTACTIONS is there once again to help keep your battery going. Dead smartphones just won’t do.  The app has battery-saving settings that keep you in charge of your charge throughout the day. The Low Battery Saver is a great example. This Smart Action will pay attention to how much charge your battery has and change settings to conserve what’s left. At 40% power, it can dim the display; at 30%, it can slow down data usage. You pick the points and you choose the changes.

And even the most diligent planner forgets something, some of the time. SMARTACTIONS is intuitive. It learns how you interact with your phone and has suggestions for rules that keep you in control of your day. Of course, you know yourself best, so you can always create rules from scratch, or customize the suggestions that come your way.

After a fun night out, time to get ready for the next day. You feel more intelligent than ever, knowing that your phone is more than just smart, it’s a trusted partner 24/7.

For our European readers, it’s time to find out who your real friends are with a new app from Motorola Mobility and T-Mobile UK. It’s called “What’s Your Line Up?” and it shows how your online interactions on Facebook map to the real world. It works like the Social Graph feature on MOTOLUXE™ (and all Motorola phones with the MotoSwitch user interface), which enables quick and easy access to the people you contact most frequently.

“What’s Your Line Up?” allows you to create and share a Social Graph for Facebook, where your “top friends” are based in part on:

  • The frequency of posts on your Facebook friends’ walls
  • The number of people you’ve tagged (e.g. in photos, locations etc.)

If you’re not happy with the lineup the app creates, just switch to “manual select” and hand pick the friends you want to show off most. Check it out on the Facebook page for Motorola Europe.

Need more incentive? People from the UK and Ireland who use the new “What’s Your Line Up?” app will be eligible to enter a weekly contest for a chance to win one of 10 MOTOLUXE phones! The ultra-vogue, rail-thin Android™ 2.3 (Gingerbread) smartphone is a real eye catcher, with a 4-inch touchscreen, 8 MP camera and access to hundreds of thousands of Google Play™ books, videos, games and apps.

How’s the contest work? Every Monday for the next 10 weeks, Motorola and T-Mobile UK will announce a Social Graph theme. For example, this week it’s “Most friends dressed in red or pink.” The person who creates and shares the best Social Graph matching this theme wins. Themes run from Monday through Sunday. Winners and next week’s theme are announced on “MOTOLUXE Mondays,” so check back often! Ready to go? Access the new “What’s Your Line Up?” app and get started.
