How many of you use Tasker? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I just began to use the app and am exploring the different things I can do. So far I set up for the data to turn on/off while the screen is on/off.
Also I have set up call recording. What do you all set up?

I bought it when it was mentioned as being on sale. I wasn't sure what to do with it, but I got some ideas from other posts. I use it to set my phone and notification volumes to off at bedtime. I also set it to ring loud and turn on the hotspot when I get to my current work location. I've also started playing with having my phone turn on GPS and reply with a location when receiving a specific SMS. All of this, among other things.

Media volume won't go up...

Having a weird issue where even when I set my sound profile to normal the media volume will not go up. The level indicator pops up in the screen but it simply stays at the minimum with the x next to the speaker. I should note that I normally use switch pro to change this, but it still doesn't work even if I go into settings. A reboot does fix the issue.

I had this same problem last night, and I also use Switch Pro. After I pulled out the battery it went back to normal and now it doesn't do it. In your Switch Pro, do you have "Mute Media Volume" selected? I had it selected on my phone and that's when I had the issue. Before the battery pull I unchecked it and after it it worked normally.
Yea, I do have that checked. I'll try your method and report back.

So I did what you said and the sounds does work now, but the problem is that the silent setting no longer muted the media volume. Switching back to the checked box results in the original issue again... gggggrrrrrrr

Update: looks like its definitely switch. Force killing it returns media sound. Guess we now wait for an update.

I have the same problem but I'm not using switch. I have calculkins Rom with kingx #11. If I put it at mute it won't allow me to up the volume either in settings or on side of phone.
i have exacly the same problem with the sound i still have the stock ROM on it but and i dont use Switch Pro.. pulling the battery does solved the problem so tnx i hope it was a 1x only
Edit: PS i only removed the s-off and rooted the phone

[Q] Enabling repeated alerts for notifications?

I want my phone to vibrate or make a noise every couple of minutes if I have a new notification. I'm not always able to hear / feel it the first time and the only vibration setting I can seem to find is only two quick pulses.
I also noticed that the green status light doesn't flash if I get a text message, where if I have an email to my gmail account it does. Is there any way to change this?
I feel like I have to check my phone all the time without these.
Have a look at Tasker. I use it to watch for certain notifications and then play a sound or do something else to get my attention, without me having to look at the phone all the time. Telling it to wait for x time before the next action is also possible (and a whole lot more).

probably it will works
That's frustrating... Since tasker is about $7 I have to buy an app to provide functionality that my previous basic cheap phone had. I also found that there used to be a nice free app called 'MissedCall' that you could do it with, however it's no longer on the market. GRRR

There's a 'missed call deluxe' for $1
Or there's Missed Reminder which is free.
I think that's exactly what I'm looking for! Sweet thanks!
My recommendation is Light Flow - There is a free version in Market, perfect customization possible: set different LED Colors for Calls, SMS, Mail, Low Battery etc, set different repeating sounds, vibrations...

help? Why am I getting dual notification and ringtone sounds???

When I get an email, the sound I selected plays and then a voice says." you have one new email"it does it for both my email accounts. I even turned sound off for notifications and put phone on silent. The voice still plays no matter what I do. when I get a phone call, the selected ringtone will play and then "incoming call from "xxxxx" will interrupt over the ringtone. This just started a few weeks ago. I can't figure it out. I haven't changed or added anything. I also tried to clear cache, dalvik and fix permissions. Im running juggernaut 3.7 on my t989.
Are you in driving mode? Also email has it's own notification options built into the app

Edit: that fixed it. I feel stupid now. Thanks again.
Lol no problem happy to help

Little issue... Notifications not vibrating

Im on the uvlh1 darkside v0 rom and cant find any other roms that work well with my phone. Its a little wonky and for some reason this is the only rom i have found that goes into deep sleep and gets good battery life. Essentially, i cant switch roms. My issue however is that notificarions dont make my phine vibrate. They come in just fine and when my ringer is on, they make noise as they should. I have gone through the menus and told it to vibrate so the "duh" solution has been tried. What else can I do?

What type of notifications are not vibrating? This could help. My friend had an issue with his Galaxy Nexus where it wouldn't vibrate for anything at all, so I just told him to reset it and it worked like magic
Text messages is(was!) the big thing. I went into the messaging settings and it said it would "also vibrate when notified" but when i tapped it, it said "never". Odd. Anyway I told it to always vibrate and it's workig again. Thanks

I find this phone to have weak vibration. I rarely feel it.

Quiet Mode - How to allow phone calls??

Hi, I just recently transitioned from the Note 3 to the LG G3 & find the phone to be an incredible upgrade!!
I got used to the "Blocking Mode" feature on the Samsung phone & find the similar feature "Quiet Mode" on the LG phone to be very lacking. On the Samsung phone I could activate the blocking mode & still receive phone calls from predefined numbers. The LG phone seems to offer a similar arrangement whereby phone calls from specific numbers could be allowed but the quiet mode feature works by putting the phone either in "Silent or Vibrate Only" modes & thus with the "Quiet Mode" activated even though it allows the call to go through but I can't respond to it as the phone is Silent or on Vibrate while I sleep.
This seems like a big oversight whereby the whole purpose of allowing phone calls is defeated!!
Can anyone please advise what to do or if I am doing something wrong??
Thanks
I think the allowed contacts will be able to reach you in Quiet Mode. So the phone rings when someone calls you that is in your 'allowed' list. I haven't tried it though. An good alternative to LG's Quiet Mode is the app Silence. You can download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cabooze.buzzoff2

Thanks a lot for your reply, that's the strange thing that even on the allowed contacts the phone remains silent.

I've tried it and yes, the phone doens't ring at all. Well Silence Premium is much better.
Thanks, does silence premium control the LED light as well?

Wow what a total f**king worthless broken feature. I had it setup for calls from family to come through and my wife and kids were in a wreck and my phone never rang. Wtf.
Multiple numbers listed in the allowed callers list and nothing. Verifiable, repeatable. I only used it while sleeping. When I calm down I will decide whether to return this $650 piece of $#*+
Extreme call blocker also is very usefull, you can create a black or white list, even block sms if you want! Really a great program!
I made as Tasker profile that silences the phone between selected hours when it's charging. Then I made another profile that allows calls from favorite contacts to go through anyway, with increasing ringing. I think I could make an app from this, if someone is interested.

I highly recommend the app Do Not Disturb. It has a few more features than Samsung's blocking mode and it's free. There is even a premium version for a buck and a half that gives you more functionality. Plan on buying it to support the developers but free version provides all I need for now. Definitely recommend trying it out.

Here is an answer to your problem. Long press quiet mode and you get his menu which should hold the holy grail or for the lame people a 'solution'
No, you still can't choose Sound under Sound profile. Only Silent an Vibrate are available. And that means no sound when someone important calls, which means this Quiet mode is useless when you are sleeping. Might as well turn off the phone completely.

I don't think you understand the problem..Allowed contacts are still silenced so the phone may ring but you will not hear it.

When you put your contacts in the white list in that programm i mentioned (Extreme Call Blocker) your Phone will ring on a volume which you have specified even when your Phone is muted!

Cool but what's that got to do with my post! I quoted member "Pilz" who was talking about stock quiet mode i am well aware of the 1000s of programes like extreme call blocker that do a better job than LGs attempt
AT&T rep duplicated it on the phone with me when I called about something else. They'd been using* it too and didn't think to test it first either.
Does that feature work on any variant?
For any other helpers, yeah we know there are settings. That's the point, they don't work.
Thanks for the working alternatives posted by others.
