New technologies emerge every day to improve people's well-being. However, as people's daily lives become more and more intense, some small details may go unnoticed. One of these issues is related to the suitable configuring smartphones in specific contexts. Failure in these settings can result in embarrassing situations. Examples of contexts might be at a meeting, at the cinema, or in a noisy place. This paper details a method to collect user profile, to notify the user and change these settings according to each user's profile and context using the computing power of smartphones. Examples of automatic adjustments are screen brightness, media volume and ring mode. The experimental results of a controlled experiment indicate that the system is promising because it was able to detect the context and make the necessary adjustments, even before the user's schedule activities.
