Hi guys,
In some of the settings on the phone setup, there is one setting called "automatically answer after 3 rings". What I'm after is a way of easily selecting that setting depending on what profile I am running. I use that setting for hands free when I drive but I have to set it up before I start driving. Prefer to use quick profile selector to envoke it.
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers

I have had regular phones that were able to auto update their clock based on the network tower's time. I can't find a way to make this PDA phone do it.
I read in the wizards section about editing the "ShowTimeZonesPage" in the registry to show an extra tab in the phone settings page. I changed it accordingly and still no extra tab like they have, even after a soft reset.
Anyone have a way to do this?
i believe u are using a HTC wizard. If you go into the phone options and then go into the Time zone and check the option to synchronize. After that everytime the timezone changes it should synchronize .
Hope this helps.

Sorry, I should have specified what I am using. I am using a Dopod P800W. I found the registry tweak in the Wizard section and thought I would give it a shot to see if it would work -- it doesn't. Even though I do have that entry in my registry and it was originally set to "0", when I set it to "1" nothing happens.
You can use a program called GPS2Blue to set the time by the GPS clocks, but it is not automatic.
i use sp time sync

i think you can set up auto sync but don't quote me on that!
word of yowarning, it uses a data connection to update the time.
hope that helps,

Hi all,
Pretty much what it says on the tin? Is there a way to change the download frequency of emails in a shortcut or widget instead of having to go through all of the menus? Also if I set up my work profile as downloading emails as they arrive can I set downloads to manual on my everyday profile or do these settings cover all profiles
Thanks in advance guys

Dunno of any widget, but you can set different frequencies in custom peak and off peak times if that helps.
I was kind of hoping that it might change the settings when I changed the scene but it didn't. The reason I ask is that I work shifts that aren't set so u can be working one day and not another so setting specific days and times is no good for me. I need to be able to turn on the email push as and when I need it but a shortcut or widget would have been very handy. Any other suggestions that might suit this kind of use?

The only straight forward thing I can think of is to set sync period for peak/off peak. Then put the 'power control' widget somewhere in sense. It has a 'sync' icon which glows green when on, then when you work turn it on, when you don't turn it off. Hope this helps.
yeh i will give that a go and see what its like.
do you know if there is any way that you can change these settings in different scenes so it would be as easy as changing seen to set up mail sync options?
Besides the widget I can't think of any way you can change the sync frequency by changing the scenes, sorry
Hello everyone!
I've been playing arround with "Tasker" for some while now, but i keep on hitting the wall with one profile i tried to set.
I cannot use the "application" context
When i set profle like that:
Context:
Application
Weather
Internet
Dropbox
Facebook
Google+
Twitter
YouTube
etc.
Enter Task:
Mobile Data ON
Nothing happens..
Every other Context work great, just application context never work. Also if i only set that when i start Calculator, phone vibrates or flash a notification, it doesnt detect that application is running ;(
I tried that Tasker on Virtuous Unity 2.35.0 and RCMix3D VoidU 1.0, same problem all the time....
Can anyone help me?
Hi,
The "Mobile Data" toggle is suited for CDMA handsets. Try using the "Mobile Data APN" toggle instead.
I'm an avid user of Tasker, I think it's great.

No i have no problems with that.
I have problem about Tasker detecting when i open an app.
Since whatever Task i make for "when an app opens, do that task" it doesnt work
Ah, I see.
No I have no issues with Tasker recognising when apps are open.
What version of Tasker are you using?

Im using v1.1u2 the newest one what rom are u using?
I have the same problem... Tasker doesn't register apps being opened or closed. And I don't even have a Desire HD
It worked fine on stock ROM, but not on my current RevolutionHD.
edit:
I found a solution!
You need to add a line to local.prop located in the folder "data".
If there is no local.prop, create one. Or, add the line to build.prop located in "system". Both work, but I was told modifying local.prop is better in this case...
Anyway, add the line (it's case sensitive):
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
Reboot, and that's it
Hi, I would need help with two tasker profiles (and a little hint for the 3rd one ;P)
1st - Connect and route all traffic through a SSH-Tunnel when I am connected to a WiFi which is not my home-WiFi:
I tried this with SSH-Tunnel but "killing" the app gives random pop-ups + problem report + restart of the app (even when killing with root). Any ideas?
2nd - Screenshot when wrong lock pattern was entered:
I found several guides for how to do it with a "pin lock" but it seems as "lock pattern" won't work with tasker?
3rd - Can I somehow let tasker read/speak the following things:
At which time is the next alarm and in how many hours/minutes is that (alarmdroid)?
Do I have any missed calls/mails/messages (whatsapp/sms/facebook/...) ?
Do I have any calendar entries today and which one is the first one ?
I plan on using those the following way:
Put phone into docking station near my bed - Let me know if alarm is set and when it is.. also tell me if there are any meetings on the next day.
When alarmdroid starts waking me up, tell me if I have any missed calls/messages/etc and how many calendar entries I have today.
Thanks
Idk about any of the other stuff but about question 2...There is an app called secure settings..this app pretty much adds functionality to tasker and if you are rooted it adds even more. But basically you can use pattern lock through tasker after downloading that app..I am currently using it to have my lock pattern turn off when im connected to my home wifi and then turns back on when im not connected to home wifi...
I had similar issues as you where it would only work with pin lock but now with secure settings, its work with pattern lock. Hope this helps.

In regards to question number 2, I'd skip setting this up via tasker and just get the app Cerberus, its a pay app but its amazing when it comes to the things it can regarding security of your phone, in case its lost/stolen. It does have the feature your trying to set up, works with pin and pattern locks. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5sc2Ryb2lkLmNlcmJlcnVzIl0.
no I don't like cerberus sry. Also I got Avast for that

I'd vouch for Cerberus. Has really good security features. btw how would taking a screenshot on entering wrong pattern help. Did you mean to take the photo of the intruder entering the wrong pattern?

Yes, a pic is taken of the intruder and sent to me via e-mail.
The whole thing works.. except that it doesn't work when the phone is locked :S
Not sure why you dont like cerberus, it does exactly what you want lol..was just a suggestion.
and i appreciate the help I just dont like the app.
Tasker >add Task(+) > Plugin > Secure Setttings > Configuration > Pattern Lock
Set the context as you like..
Ye tried that one already -> doesnt seem to work :/
Regarding your #2 request, if what you are looking for is for the phone to take a picture of the user after a failed unlock attempt this is what I did in Tasker to accomplish this and more.
This will take a photo of the "intruder" after two failed attempts. With my Dropbox sync this photo is instantly uploaded to Dropbox for archival. Then the phone sends two SMS messages to my GV number, the first with the rough location based on the network and then another if GPS is able to locate them.
First you have to install the "Secure Settings" plugin from the Market. Also for photo archival I use Dropbox configured to backup my photos.
New Profile named "Unlock Fail"
Event>State>Plugin>Secure Settings
-Edit Configuration>Failed Login Attempts> 2 (your choice)
-Save
Task> New Task named "Security Photo"
-Media>Take Photo
>Front Camera
>Filename : Lock Photo
>Naming Sequence : Series
>Insert in Gallery : checked
>Descrete : checked
>Resolution: 640x480 (Your preference)
-Misc.>GPS Set On
-Misc.>Get Location
>Source NET
-Phone>Send SMS
>Number (Your choice, I use my GV number)
>Message "Someone has tried to unlock your phone, a photo has been stored and they are roughly at: %LOC"
-Misc.>Get Location
>Source GPS
-Phone>Send SMS
>Number (Same as above)
>Message "Here is their exact location: %LOC"
Then on top of this I also created another profile that would fire off this same task if an SMS is received with the text "find me". This profile also sounds an alarm so I can locate the phone.

I would prefer Mail over SMS but the problem won't even go until the sending part as it won't even take the picture when the phone is locked with a pattern lock? Atleast for me here.

I do not seem to have that problem. I just tried it and it worked perfectly.
Now I have my phone configured for face unlock with pattern as a backup and my phone is rooted.
-Phone was locked with the screen off.
-Hit the power button and blocked the camera so face unlock would fail.
-Entered the wrong pattern twice. Once the second attempt failed I saw GPS activate and I heard the GV notification for the received SMS.
-I never unlocked the phone and checking GV and Dropbox from a different device and the messages were sent with my location and the picture was uploaded to Dropbox.
Not sure what else to say. I think I was asked to give Tasker administrative rights along with being rooted so maybe that is the difference.
i am rooted as well.. and tasker is in my SuperSU list :S
Rly weird
I will pay you for Tasker Profiles
I bought tasker because I see the incredible potential for the different profiles.
That being said I am dumb and find creating the profiles that I want a little bit overwhelming.
Is you are a tasker EXPERT on this site that would like to make some profiles for me that I could download & I will pay you for them.
An example profile would be:
IF I disconnect from Wifi Network by going out of range I want to automatically turn on bluetooth for for 10 minutes.
(Usually when I walk out of wifi range I am walking to my car which bluetooths music/calls off my phone)
IF within that 10 minutes I connect to a bluetooth device I would like to keep the bluetooth on until the pairing is broken. IF NOT bluetooth will be turned off after the 10 minutes
When the bluetooth pairing is broken I would like the phone to turn on Wifi for 10 minutes as I am usually walking to my office/house or place with wifi
IF within that 10 minutes a wifi network is connected then wifi will remain on IF NOT then wifi will be turned off
This is just one of probably 10 or so possible profiles I would like to create that are custom to my circumstances
I have a galaxy S4 Active from AT&T that is rooted
If you are interested in creating profiles for me please message me with your expertise & what a profile would cost
For most of you creating these things are childs play however for me it is not
This is my first time posting so if this is the wrong place to put this please direct me to a different area.
I installed an app on the note 2. Before I could use it it stated that I had to disable the app setting for automatically closing. It took me to that setting and I disabled it. I also did one other change thinking I coukd go back to this setting and change it if I didn't like it. Now I have no way of getting back to that setting area on phone. My Gmail is now on the right side of my screen so is all my pics on right side of screen.
No it Is not on the one handed option.
I use the Internet and now I have to manual close it when as before it would do it once I exited. I removed the app and have looked all over for this setting. I can not reacción whereI was.
I don't mind that the Internet doesn't close that is what I wanted but now my Gmail Is messed up. Where was this setting area that it took me too??
