Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for automatically selecting alert modes for a mobile device based at least in part on the mobile device location. In one embodiment, a velocity of the mobile device is determined. If the velocity exceeds a threshold, the mobile device refrains from automatically configuring a notification of the mobile device to use a location-dependent alert mode.
