Have you checked to make sure you didn't turn the alarm volume off? It's that a lot of times. Also leave the phone on. A lot of people think their phone will turn on to sound the alarm and turn them off at night to save battery.

Could also try an alarm app from the marketplace. Or rooting and flashing a different rom.

That's what I would do. I didn't know that the stock alarm spoke, but I downloaded smarter alarm from the market and it is great. Tells me the time, news, weather, new emails, and calls me by my name. Can't beat that IMO

set the Media volume properly
there are different levels for different volumes
i use similar talking alarm as well

Thanks guys for the replay. I get smart alarm. Great forum.

[Q] Alarm vibrate function

How do I disable the vibrating alert for alarms? 7am every day I wish I could be woken by the sedate tones of my preferred alarm sound, yet instead it sounds like someone has trapped an electric toothbrush in a biscuit tin.
Stock Froyo, btw.
That's exactly how I felt about the alarm vibrator. And it's easy to miss where you can disable it. Go back to editing the alarm and scroll the screen all the way down, you'll see it at the bottom.

This morning was much more pleasant! I'd buy you a beer, but you're probably not local to me
Edit: Australia! Can't get much further away

No, the idea is that the alarms are always on. So the constant notification is a waste of space. I obviously use the alarms and don't want to lose that functionality.
Well, then I guess you are trying to have your cake snd eat it too. Good luck with this one...

For anyone else looking to do this, I took a closer look at SteelH's thread and found the alarm instructions.. The difference is that the StatusBarPolicy.smali file has been moved to the SystemUI.apk instead of the jar file.
SystemUI.apk\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy\StatusBarPolicy.smali

how can I can I make my phone to...

Hi guys how can I make my phone to turn on briefly when a text message comes in? My wife's galaxy s3 does it but my S2 just stays with its screen off. If it helps I am running the ICS sprint official update...

Are you talking about a sleep mode?

No. I want my phone to wake up instead of going to sleep actually when I receive a text message.I was looking into sms pop-up and iPhone notifications. I just don't want to have to turn the phone on myself every time I get a text message
You would need a third party messenger app like handcent or Go SMS. I personally use handcent since my og Evo days. Pretty satisfied.

Tasker, Post Setups, Profiles, Questions and more!

I love Tasker. And i mean love tasker!!! I would like to start a discussion on these setups and cool things to do with Tasker. More people need to buy it!!!!!!!
My personal favorite Profile is one i have setup for a received text with "gpson" in the message. It enables gps and starts polling where the device is going and replies with coordinates every 3 minutes to sender of last text. I use this just in case my phone gets lost or stolen. I keep it pretty stealth as well. It turns off all systems volume to make sure the robber wont hear it. Once again, i Love Tasker and please share your opinions. Post questions, anyone would be happy to help
I tried helping someone or a few weeks ago who wanted the screen to turn on when a kik message appeared, but I'm horrible at tasker. Could you look through the thread and tell me what might have worked better for it?

That is exactly what I would do.
Create Profile>Event>UI> Notification>(pick kik app)
After that add the task you mentioned about turning screen on through secure settings to the profile . That should work assuming a notification is received when a kik message is received
(TASKER MUST BE ENABLED AT ACCESSIBILITY SETTINGS)
Just tested this with messaging app and it worked perfectly. Leave "Title' blank when choosing app/apps

Let us know? It just means no conditions are met to activate a profile. Once you get a kik message after setting this up it should change briefly to something like active profiles I think. Im not sure

Sweet, I'm glad it worked. That was my first foray into the world of Tasker.
Back to the original thread topic: What are some things that you think people might want to see come from Tasker?
One of my biggest blocks in using it effectively is that I don't even know where to begin. I could set it up to automatically turn on wifi when I get home, but it's really not that big of a deal for me to just hit a toggle on the notification panel (same thing with using NFC tags, for me at least). I do like the lost phone texting option, but I haven't lost a phone (or gotten it stolen) in the last 10+ years of having a cell phone.
Maybe I'm just simple in my needs/wants from a cell phone, but I just don't know what type of Tasker automation I'd use regularly. Any suggestions?

Its rare that phones get stolen from geeks like us but I just have it just in case one of my buddies pull a trick or something. Its good to have just in case. However, misplacing it happens quite often for me at least. So I created a profile to listen for "ringplease" and it turns on the screen and unlocks it, then turns media volume all the way up and plays a song of my choice (No Worries by Lil Wayne) lol
Very very simple, but effective for me at least

That's a good idea, I typically leave my phone on silent (don't want it ringing loudly while at work). When the phone is between the couch cushions, I can't just ring it and listen for it. If I have a text code I can send, I can have it turn the volume all the way up and blast "call me maybe" (as a joke, of course). I just can't give that code to my friends, or else they'll send me that code when I'm in a meeting at work, haha.

Exactly!!! I also have one where when I put it in my pocket (upside down) and if the screen is on, it turns off. That one is one of my favorites!

I feel that Tasker is a bit under rated. People just don't realltly take the time to learn how to use it. Its so powerful!!

I think a lot more people would use tasker if the xml files were made more centralized and available for the general user. I myself was struggling, but have it doing a few nifty things.
1) turn on wifi when near my local (home) cell tower.
2) disable wifi when no connection established for 20 seconds
3) enable screen rotate in certain apps (since I like mine in portrait normally).
4) enable bluetooth when docked in the car and disable after disconnecting
5) turn off all sound when sitting on my qi charger
6) allow calls from certain people even in silent mode (ie emergency calls from family)
7) play unique ringtone for people not in my contact list
Haha, I just use Where's My Droid, it has the built-in ringing functionality where you can text it a codeword if you misplace it / lose it, and its also great for when you ACTUALLY lose it lol

But this is waaaaayyyy cooler it took me weeks to figure it out to. Lol. The GPS thing. Cause I never found a ROM that allowed it without using secure settings! Until this week!

God, I wish I could figure out how to do this. I would buy the app for my wife (who constantly misplaces her phone).
I have tasker, and I use it to "clock" in and out of work. I have it save the time stamp to my work calendar.

Stock alarm?....No snooze?

So I noticed on both MA7 & MC2 after a week or so my snooze function has stopped working on the stock alarm clock..I'm I alone or had anyone else experienced this?..Thanks in advance guys for any and all feedback :thumbup:
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I've had issues as well. Heres what I found out.
Even though snooze is turned on you have to go back in and click the snooze options and save again then save one more time.
When its set to 3 times or more at 5 mins you have to set the alarm to say 7:20 or 8:20 etc... at 7:25 it will trigger the alarm then shut the snooze off for some odd reason.
Yea, after a few days of over sleeping and messing around it seems like with the above will work fine.

Lol yeah I was lucky and woke up ten min's after I hit snooze.. thanks I'll give it a shot!
