Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good app for unlocking the tablet while connected to your home's WiFi? To be clear I would still like a lockscreen, but be to have it that when I leave home it goes back to being pin protected. I tried tasker but it can only disable the lockscreen completely, and while I would settle for that, I was wondering if anyone here knew of a solution! Thanks
Easy to do with Tasker. Best money you will spend if you dive into it. You can make your devices do anything you want.

I couldn't figure out how to make it only unlock but leave my lockscreen there (like it doesn't go straight to home screen when I press unlock button) do you know if that's possible ? I looked around rather quickly because if it didn't have it I wanted to be within refund period :S
Check out this link http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57478334-285/the-most-practical-creative-ways-to-use-nfc-with-your-android-device/ . Came across it on FB and just watching the vid showed some of the possibilities for the NFC chip and I think it will do what your looking for.
Seems interesting.. I think the main problem is that disabling security and and leaving lockscreen is not an option sadly so like, it's all or nothing :/ I could live with that I suppose haha but kinda sucks
Have you seen this app? It does exactly as you want and works great, I've had it, and its great

it doesn't support patterns, the only lock I use. PINs and passwords are too slow to enter every time.
Try "Settings Profile" on the app store. Similar to tablet but much easier to use. I use it to do exactly what you describe.

I'm going to treat myself to some NFC tags to see if that will do it

OT : it's it more powerful than Tasker?

It's basically a bunch of Tasker tasks already programmed. Taller is more powerful, but harder to learn.

This free app lets you turn the screen off by waving at the proximity sensor near your earpiece! No Widgets to press! Just the swipe of your hand!
Marketplace Search: ProximityScreenOff
A lil thanks if you like it will be appreciated ;D
The idea is nice but beeing left handed it triggers accidentally too much for me. Works pretty sweet though. Wish the prox sensor was on the right
Be cautious... Just tried playing with this on CM7 #B30, and almost couldn't get it off my phone. Also, didn't appear to work properly (I'm guessing its a Gingerbread issue). Not sure if these results are typical, but I had to reboot 3 times, uninstall through both the market, and app manager, and without being able to do nandroid yet, I was a little nervous.
Idea sounds great though. It'd be a fun trick to show friends, that's why I gave it a shot.
I am LOVING this!
This is the type of app that makes me go week at the knees! <3

You don't follow directions. And it worked fine on my gingerbread build. To delete it fully, you first need to to in to settings, locations&security, then select device admin. Untidiness the checkmark, and select deactivate. Then delete.
Personally this was a bit too sensitive for me, but very cool concept.

You're right, I didn't follow those directions because I never saw them. Regardless, it still didn't work for me, and I wanted to let others know of a possible implication. I even mentioned that I was unsure if the result would be typical.

If you'd read the information on the app market, before just downloading, you'd have seen.
Pretty cool but sometimes I use my left hand and lock it by mistake. And it doesn't disable when I'm in landscape mode for some reason. I had the check box for that feature checked. Is it supposed to be unchecked?

But yeah, I don't know how it'll affect my battery life, and half the time I couldn't get the screen to turn off I wish the sensitivity was adjustable. Uninstalled for now.

The Proximity sensor is on the very left side of the metal grill for the earspeaker thing in the front...
maybe try swiping there...

It's a good idea but its a bit too sensitive... maybe after a few adjustments, I'd use it. Nice find though!
This one is pretty chill, but I prefer tap tap app, you can turn your screen on and off with the sensor.

Hi all,
I would like to get the "Smart Actions" app (by Motorola) to my SGS2.
There is an option to run this app on my phone or a similar app?
Thanks ahead.
I believe Tasker might be your best bet. You can find it in the Market.

hey i know this an old thread but some users using search to get here might find it usefull
the "llama" app on playstore does wat smartaction does on motorolla. It uses ur cellular positioning to help maintain the profiles meaning less battery drainage
Anybody know of an app that can remotely make the nexus 7 make a noise so i can find it. I know plan B can help locate it after it has gone missing, but i know (99% sure) its in my house, just not sure where
Thanks
If you do this often, you could use Tasker to make the Nexus say something like "Help me! I have fallen and can't get up" when you
send a specific message to the Nexus. This takes advance planning.
If your Nexus is currently lost - no idea. Mine makes a noise every time I get a text message or EMail.
Yeah. I always mis-place my phone and tablet, sometimes losing them for days. I tend to leave my phone on load so i can ring it but doesnt work for tablet.
I have ceberus but my trial ran out 2 days ago so i cant use that
Does anybody know if i unlock the full version online, will it register on my nexus automatically?
Thanks
Found it now was under my pillow :what:
Anybody know any good doctors?

There is an App for that - check out any of the Eliza programs.
Unfortunately - none of them look very good.
There is a financial opportunity here, all you wanna be programmers!
The original Lookout app can sound an alarm. Or androidlost. That one is great, has many many features, and I'm pretty sure one of them is an alarm.
Cerberus will sound a loud siren if you choose to send a command via cerberusapp.com. It's not free, but I think it was one of the better apps I've purchased .

Then you are holding it wrong! LOL I have tried a lot of these voice command assistants, from the S-voice from Samsung to Dragon beta, IRIS, Maanuba, vlingo, and your speaktoit; you name it, I may have tried it. None of them comes close to utter. Which of the other apps can take a verbal instruction to take a freakin screenshot or change the governors on your phone?? None that I have personally come across.
And to boot, this app comes from an XDA member. Who doesn't love that? I'm going to throw money at him as soon as he is able to. There's a lot of work that went in to it and ben(the dev), IMO deserves some fundage. :good:
This app is so clever, just been playing around with it and Tasker, between the 2 apps I can do everything I want. Awesome.
Why does it want root access?

Reboot, set kernel, and a few other things require it.
but you do not have to be rooted to use Utter, and its not doing anything dodgy that you need to worry about, its just so that you can get Utter to do certain things which need root access, if you dont do those things, it doesnt need root access.
Why isn't this bloke working for the Google Now team??

It seems to not recognize my Minnesooooooootan accent perfectly. Some of the commands it seems not to be able to understand. Works OK for most things though. It's still a keeper.

in the customisation menu, you can change/replace words, so for example if every time you say "house" it hears "has" you can tell utter to recognise "house", that may help, or you can try one of the other voice recognition engines in the recognition and voices menu like ispeech or dragon nuance.

Looking at the latest comments on the YouTube video, it looks like Brandall will be bringing some great updates to Utter soon including a car mode possibly and more bluetooth support.
If you have dirty hands or you just can not touch your phone just hover or swipe your hand above the phone sensor. And the thing will get running for you. Please keep in mind that I am still improving it. So please report every bug you find. Contact me on [email protected]. Hope you will like it.

Hi works really well to turn on/off screen,but when you have it enabled for WiFi also it gets a bit confusing.when you swipe to unlock screen great,hold hand for 2 seconds great WiFi comes on but when you want to just turn off WiFi it turns off screen no matter and you need to swipe screen back on and turn off WiFi manually as it always turns off screen before you turn off wifi,not a complaint just an ob but a really great app
many thanks am using it to turn my screen on and off.

New update information
Hey guys I actually fixed a lot of stuff I did a lot of changes but some things are still delaying me from being able to release the new update.
Actually new update may be possible to be seen by the end of this week.
As long as I am working on it alone it is really hard for me and I am giving it, all the free time I have I spend a lot of nights on it.
So if you guys would be that kind please consider some small donation. I want to buy S4 to see how the things are going on it. Or an HTC One so I can test the app on powerful device and improve it more and faster. Or just buy me a coffee or a donut. Many thanks, many thanks.
I would really appreciate it and I'll give you credits in the OP
Note: If anyone made a donation, PM me. Thanks.
