[Q] App that auto connects and disconnects?

Is there an app that automatically toggles ON/OFF APN data during custom intervals or something like that?
A friend showed me an app for his Galaxy S that connected to the internet every hour or so for 2-3 minutes (so the apps, mail, etc sync) and then it disconects from the internet till the next hour. The problem is that I don't remember the name and my friend is on holidays, so I was wondering if someone knows of any app that does more or less the same.
Thanks!

Search the market for an app called "ultimate juice". I think that will do what you want.

Problem with that is that its a plugin and I still need the main app, I think the app I saw was a standalone one.

juice defender?

It's the same as the other suggestion. It's the core and standalone but has lots of configuration options disabled because you need ultimatejuice to enable them.

Install both?

Tasker no able to turn on GPS

Any one else here use tasker? Anyone having issue with gps not turning on with tasker?

I'm having the same issue....did you ever find a solution to your problem?

It's an Android thing. Android doesn't allow third party apps to directly change the gps due to security issues. It will automatically take you to the location settings

Install an apparently called "secure settings". Its an addon to tasker; ie you will get more options within tasker with it. One of the things is GPS.

[Q] Market and GPS questions...

I picked a Verizon GNex at BB yesterday and have a couple questions...
First, I don't see where to turn GPS ON/OFF -- there has to be a way to turn it off and on -- right?
Second, after installing the apps I had with my Evo I attempted to purchase another app but the "Accept & Buy" button to complete the purchase would not work. I tried this with two different apps. Is Verizon trying to prevent use of the Google Market so they can have you go through there app market?
Thanks,
Brian

For the first question, settings-> location services

I saw that but it's not like any of those option clearly the GPS on/off. The three options:
Googles location service (lets apps use location data from wifi sources etc)
GPS satellites (lets apps pinpoint your location)
Location & Google search (lets Google use your location to improve search results)
OK, of the three the second one seems closest to what I'm looking for but there's nothing here that clearly says it turns the GPS on/off.

It does turn it off

come on man, isn't it odvious that is this option? "GPS satellites"

Actually no! As I said, it's the most likely option but no where does it say that the GPS radio is turned off it just says that is "lets apps pin point your location". Everyone wants to know where you are at all times so they make it more difficult for you to turn off location finding tools because they want you to leave it on.
So, Google may allow you to disable GPS access for third party apps but still permit them (Google) to know exactly where you are because that information is money. If disabling this option stopped third party apps from accessing the GPS but still left the GPS on so Google could keep tracking you the wording of the option gives them the legal latitude to do just that.
So, in addition to wanting to save battery life it's nice to also limit the amount of tracking Google, and pretty much everyone else, does to you.
My Evo 4G had a widget that controlled: 4G (WiMax), BlueTooth, GPS and Wifi -- I would like that on my Nexus.
Brian

It's pretty obvious to me that that option actually does turn off the GPS antenna. It I don't think that there's any device in the world with a GPS antenna that cannot be turned off, unless it's part of the core functionality (e.g. with GPS receivers).

Put the power control widget on one of your homescreens - the middle one is GPS and you can quickly toggle it.

All the toggle in that widget does is turn "option 2" on and off. There is no 4G LTE toggle either. Also, no Verizon isn't blocking the market to force you to use theirs. They don't even have a separate app market.

Yep, after toggling I checked back and option 2 was turned off. It was the most likely option but I wish the wording was more explicit...
I also found that the market problem was somehow related to the fact that I'd added a second gmail account. I had to select the second account and enter my CC info there and after that the market worked just fine.

Yes Verizon only wants you to use their 20 or so apps. Enjoy!

Light Flow App

Hi, I purchased a paid version of light flow app, I am experiencing issues when I enable it, even the Talkback feature is off, the GN still recognizes that it is on especially when I am browsing the web. Currently running android revolution HD rom.
Anyone else experienced it? tia

What kind of issues?
It's working good for me on stock rom.

It forces the TalkBack accessibility feature of the GN. Even you check it on the settings, it is turned off but still functions especially when typing on the browser and every keypress you click on the keyboard.

Doesn't do that for me. Have the free version.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

Thanks for your inputs! I remember the free version has no issue with mine before. But then again I am still researching if there are any other users having the same issue as mine.

I've found this on the developers homepage:
Some users have issues where the TalkBack accessibility service gets enabled when the Light Flow accessibility service is switched on. This seems to be a bug in Ice Cream Sandwich and we've raised an issue for it. Add a star to it here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23105 as a temporary workaround, go into your phone "settings" --> Accessibility --> Install web scripts --> and make sure it's set to "Not allowed"

(Q)NFC in airplane mode

Forgive me if this has been asked before. I did search and didn't find an answer. Is there a way to prevent NFC from being disabled in airplane mode? I currently use a tag at work to turn airplane mode on when I get to my desk. I have virtually zero signal and no wifi, so leaving airplane mode off eats a lot of battery in the order of 25% or more an hour. I would like to be able to just tap the tag when I leave to turn everything on. I have tried a simple task in tasker (Status=Airplane mode on -> enable NFC), but its sketchy at best. I know the nfc.apk has been modded to enable at lockscreen and at screen off conditions. Could the nfc.apk be modded to survive airplane mode, or would that hack be somewhere else. If it matters, I'm on an AT&T Galaxy SIII running the stock rom, rooted.

On my Galaxy Nexus, I'm able to go into the menu and enable NFC once I activate aeroplane mode; is it different for the S3? Or are you looking for an automatic solution?

I'm looking for an automatic solution. I can manually enable this too.

I am also looking to do this, or find a work around that turns off everything airplane mode does except NFC

I mean not to be an ass or anything but would it kill you just to do it manually? It takes like 3 seconds...

I guess that is what he means by automatically rather than manually.

I added this to NFC Task Launcher - essentially there is a comma delimited string that tells Airplane Mode what radios to toggle. If you remove nfc from this list the broadcast receiver for the nfc service doesn't disable it when airplane mode changed is broadcast. It only scans this setting on boot though so you'll need to change it and then reboot.
