Anyone here using it? what is this app for? is it worth buying? does it give u battery life? im really interested but i cant find no videos on it on youtube. please share your thoughts.
I have it because it's the only app Ive found that can turn the GPS on remotely. I have it set up to turn on the GPS whenever it receives a certain text msg and then text back the phones location.
It's really useful once you learn it, plus the GPS feature alone is well worth the money.
I'm just about done with my week trial and I will probably wait to buy it. Android 2.2 drops the ability to kill apps which is a huge deal breaker for me when it comes to this app. The author has stated that a fix for root users is possible, but it's not high on his todo list.
That being said this app it great for automating things. When I plug in my car charger the phone automatically sends calls to speakerphone, reads any incoming texts out loud, turns off the display timeout, goes to auto brightness, and loads my speedometer app. Now if only it could kill the app when I unplug the phone!

I've been using it for about three weeks now. It replaced several other apps that were not playing nice together and does much more. I noticed an improvement in battery life, but that could also be because I am running fewer apps now.
It can either increase or decrease your battery life. It depends on what you have it doing. Check out the Power page on the website for more info.
I mainly use it for changing settings based on location. Different profiles for home, work, in the car, and everywhere else.
I did find that it is better to use network location for "Near" which then enables the GPS location for "At" to save battery and yet still get precision.
I also have it setup to do things based on battery level.
The coolest is that I have a profile based on plugging in the headphones that brings up a list of media players. No more poking around just to listen to music.
Overall I am very happy with the app.

I've been dying to ask this of someone who's played around with it - I'd pick it up and try it myself, but just can't swing it right now.
Do you know the issue with Google navigator pausing Pandora tracks? Would it be possible to set up a profile that would fix that? Something like "if nav pauses Pandora, when nav stops talking, hit play in Pandora"?

I haven't tried it yet, as this is the first I've heard of Tasker. But, if you go to the website:
http://tasker.dinglisch.net/index.html
you can download a trial good for 7 days. The developer even says you can uninstall and reinstall if 7 days isn't long enough. So, I'm going to try it out myself.

Sorry, confused. What does any of that have to do with tasker? Are you asking about task killers?
Sent from my blah blah blah blah
Well, i am a tasker user and love it. it can change and setting your phone has, well almost, but still more than an other app like it. Locale is far less useful and costs more. The other one i forget its name i have not used but tasker from what i read pwns it. I recommend this app for anyone who needs to tell the phone to do things automatically or based on locations.

Then I guess the confusing part is why you posted that comment in this thread..
You have an opinion about tasker, and you post here about task killers (irrelevant to the thread topic) and don't even offer an answer or your opinion about tasker to the OP..
And yes, you are correct about FroYo making Task Killers useless. You can still use them to manually kill off apps but apparently the kill-all intervals don't work like they did on 2.1
This is getting OT of the OP, but if you want a task killer on 2.2 then check out the app "autostarts". It's not a task killer, it's a task preventer. It's pretty cool and works great.
been using Tasker for a few weeks now and i love it. and i'm still playing in the shallow end of what it can do.
configured quiet times based on if i'm oncall or not. also to toggle radios based on gps zones. (and to ensure i have a work appropriate desktop image )

man you arent looking to make friends. every post i see from you, you are acting like a true ****. maybe you should calm yourself and be a little considerate of the other people on the forum and stop with the act.
As for tasker. I agree with many many others that have said it is a great app once you get it set up. I have it do mostly basic things such as when car charger is plugged in turn on bluetooth start navigation app. when near work turn ringer to vibrate and turn media volume down. when home turn ringer on media volume on and wifi on turn bluetooth off. stuff like that. I havent noticed it giving me extra battery but i love that i dont have to remember to mess with all my settings.

You could always try posting something relevant to the thread that you're posting in, or possibly starting a new thread on the subject that you wanted to discuss, instead of bringing your off topic complaining here...or hey, even acknowledge that people answered your off topic questions pretty well, and gave you some leads. Oh, and I love how you brought Obama into a tasker thread. What's next, godwin? At least you now realize that you should search first, and ask questions after. Which is good - it shows that you can comprehend some things if you put your mind to it.
Anyway, back on topic. I've started to play around with the different settings and profiles that tasker gives you, and the only thing that's become clear to me is why they give you a weeks free trial. Damn! This app has a lot of options!

someone. somewhere. brought up the fact that froyo took away the capability to kill tasks (unleas your rooted, right?). my question is perfectly legitimate, and i think with the topic at hand is qualifying of a question about my original question. i didnt get hyped or flamed up in anyway. my OP was crystal clear, mirroring a statement someone said earlier, and the person confused it aint my fault.
your robosnapdragonintelligant mr.obama vs. godwin analogy
ok, now im a d!ck
EDIT.
ok i didnt see the post with the guy ansswering about froyo vs task killers. thanks to whoever that was. lets start a petition for a thankyou button!

Yeah, that was me, I came right out and said I was confused as to why you were bringing it up in my other post (all polite like, I might add), because you didn't use the quote feature, and I missed where it had been mentioned before - it looked like you just started talking about some random topic in a thread about tasker. Instead of clarifying that it was brought up in a previous post, you got all internet tough on the thread, and it all went down hill from there. See that? Simple misunderstanding.

All I want is to add custom notifications and ringtones and not have them show up under music app. Making the folder hidden. Means the ringer stops working I already have rings extended.
Last sync music to the default music app and have it include playlists. Please god somebody help been trying and searching for a while now. This why people buy iPhones because its one phone and its not complex. Nobody I know who has this phone even knows how to sync music to it period.

Internal SD/media/audio/notifications.
you can also turn on kies air, connect it to wifi, open your browser and go to the ip address (including port) thats listed. browse to ringtones and upload your file.
this guy cant be serious! "this is why people buy iphones" Pshhhh
Seriously bro slow down and learn your phone it is by far the best phone avail right now and hands down smashes on the "iphone"
remember google is your best friend if you ever run into a prob google it
sure dont miss having to go thru my itunes creating new files to make ringtones then transferring to my phone then goin back to itunes to fix the song haha so many steps, now I drag and drop then edit on phone!
Then go ****ing buy an iPhone.
Calm down guys. In the ringtones folder in your internal SD card, just add a .nomedia file in it. Literally, create a file that's called '.nomedia' and the mediascanner will skip scanning that folder.
This iPhone rant is not approved.

I did answer you question. I was also one of the few who did it without being mean or insulting; i figured you just need a little help getting pointed in the right direction.
Not excuse most of the replies, because most of them are full of snob-like elitism because of some personal problem with Apple products, but you're just being a douchebag.
I'll tell you one more time, maybe you'll actually read it and try to figure it out.
Connect your phone to the same wifi network your computer is on
Go to your applications, and launch Kies Air.
It will load and give you an ip address along with a port. Probably something like http://192.168.x.xxx:8080
Type the entire thing in your browser on your computer, including the port (the ":8080" part)
This will let you manage all media on your phone. You can upload/download ringtons, music, playlist, contacts, pictures, video etc. You can do EXACTLY what you're asking to do here. It will seperate things out, and you can upload/download to/from your computer to sync with your music library.
I've posted a screen shot in the post of what it looks like in the browser.
Since it's in a browser, you don't need iTunes, Zune, or any other software.
Alternatively you can use google music beta, but it currently wont let you choose where to store music (external sd vs internal) and has some other bugs.
Kies Air isn't perfect, but it works pretty well for someone who doesn't want to dive deeper into manipulating the files/folders on their phone, and you don't even need a USB cable to use it.
Now look. If you're going to ask for help from a bunch of people who have no real incentive to help you, then try not to be a douchebag about it. You'll get more help if you ask nicely, and explain when you don't understand something, instead of acting like you have.
edit: this is all stock stuff provided with the phone. and if you had bother reading the instructions/guide that comes with the phone you'd know how to do this already.

Its going to take a little bit of time for everybody to update their apps to make them compatible, but it will happen. If you HAVE to have that app I would go back to 4.1 and download AppWatcher until all the apps you need are updated.
The last update to their software was Jan of 2012. I would suggest emailing android-feedback [AT] logmein.com and give as much information as you can, that way they can be aware of the issue and possibly hurry out an update.
i always enjoy the threads about "such and such app is broke with version <insert newest android version here> can you help me fix it even tho its the apps fault?"

Yeah, I shot them an email this morning but haven't heard back yet. Since the app hasn't updated in 10 months, I'm a little nervous about Logmein's agility and quickness to resolving this issue.

Found this on Google. Same thing is happening on my Nexus 7 since updating...so definitely a software/4.2 issue.
Same thing here, just found this thread on Google. My issue though is LogMeIn is essential as I use it daily for work. I have a full Nandroid from right before the upgrade, can I just restore that or will I have to wipe and start with a fresh install of 4.1.2?

Yup, I have noticed RealVNC Viewer is crashing too. Oddly enough, Remote Desktop from Xtralogic still works perfectly.
I did just see that RealVNC Viewer released an update today to fix the Android 4.2 crash. Excellent. Now if Logemein could get it together...

Yes, you can restore your full nandroid 4.1.2 and be good to go again.
Fortunately I don't RELY on it. It is a convenience thing... but it'd sure be nice if Logmein was a little more responsive considering it IS a $30 app!
I restored back to 4.1.2 last night, it's a shame. Overall I liked the new features of 4.2 (seemed they fixed the low volume issue which is nice, I need to use Volume+ just to hear movies on a plane with bose earbuds). Looks like I'll be running with 4.1.2 until LogMeIn catches up. I have already been through trying all other alternatives and unfortunately some of the options that are necessary are only available on logmein (true blank host screen and pop up keyboard with a sticky shift key option and function keys (F1, F2, etc) are a must for the program I access). Here is the email from LogMeIn, they probably wouldn't care if I jumped ship since it's not a subscription and they already have my $30. Most expensive mobile app I've every bought.
------------------
Thank you for contacting LogMeIn.
I apologize for the inconvenience, but I consulted with our product specialist and it looks like we don't support the Android version 4.2 (Jelly Bean) at the moment, but hopefully in the near future we'll be releasing an update that will allow it to work.

this to me sounds like no immediate plan. Which i can see the lack of a need because how many 4.2 running phones are there at the moment? Sucks though :/
Thanks for following up
Yep, it's sad the bigger the software producer gets, the higher the price goes, and the slower the support gets. It always amazes me at the top notch level of support you get from the independent dev's even for a $1 app. Most of the time they are FAST, Jrummy and Chainfire are two of the best examples. Yet you can't get squat from a large company for a $30 app that you had to pay for (when the same iPhone functionality is free, which is a whole other rant...) and that is on top of me already paying hundreds a year for premium subscriptions, but to them that is probably chump change. Sucks for me I guess, No 4.2 on my Nexus since I have literally tried them all and can't find any other with those two features that are a must have. A few others had the blank host screen, just not as quick or friendly as logmein, but none have the sticky shift key or pop up F keys, if you know an alterative to logmein that has those I would easily pay for the app in a heartbeat.
*end ramble*
Maybe I should just buy a second nexus for personal use or get the N10 for work and keep the 7 for personal, oh wait, that probably comes with 4.2 preloaded, ****ty! for me.

Ok... what the hell? A $30 app and they tell you to basically get bent?
That is super shady.
I've been using logmein for a couple years now, but it looks like I'll look in to some of their competition. That's just plain BAD customer service.
At least they replied to you. They never bothered replying to me.
They didn't even respond to you? I guess I can be thankful for a response then, it's the least they could do considering I have 6 Pro subscriptions on my account. I'm thinking of looking into gotomypc. Someone else at the office uses them and the ios app has the functions I need. Here is an email I jut got. You can bet I filled out the survey, if you get around to trying gotomypc on 4.2 please let me know.

Yes same here, screen does not display on my N4 or N7........... very frustrating as use logmein most days for work. I have emailed logmein support. Fingers crossed..
My reply was;
-----------
Thank you for contacting LogMeIn.
We currently do not support Android 4.2 (JellyBean) with LogMeIn Ignition for Android.
We are working hard to become compatible with the latest Android OS.
-----------
A bit better, but no ETA and not even an apology!
At least you had a reply, I've heard nothing from them! Fingers crossed it's sooner rather than later as is proving to be a right pain for me....

Well, this was certainly frustrating. I needed to use Logmein this morning from my phone, and it appears that the app is broken on 4.2
I unisntalled and reinstalled the app but it did the same thing.
Any one else have the same issue after going to 4.2?

I thought it was 'cause I was connecting to a Windows 8 machine for the first time! I ended up switching to Jump Desktop which is free for single computer use and had gesture support for Win8.
Well, Logmein at least updated the description for the current app on the play store with a message saying they're working on a fix for 4.2.
Not really happy that they can't get this update out with a quickness, especially when smaller companies like VNC can get it fixed the next day.
Latest update is confirmed working on a rooted stock 4.2

Could you help us understand what you mean by "personalized data?"
From your post, I have to assume a lot in order to answer your question. I think you mean you don't want google to use personal results in searches or even keep track of anything you do on your phone.
The easiest (and most extreme) way would be to have a google account associated with your device. This is extreme and not really recommended, as you won't be able to purchase anything from the play store and you'll really limit yourself on the phone.
The other (and recommended) option would be to turn off a couple of things:
Under Accounts, click on your google account. Choose the "search" under privacy. There are a bunch of options here, turn off the ones you don't want. The options shown on my phone (CarbonROM) are:
Manage Location History
Google Location Settings
Web History
Manage Web History
Personal Results
Safesearch filters
I'd say that the first five are the ones that'll turn off most of the "personalized data" that you're looking for.
Let me know if you were asking something completely different.

Ok, saw your update. It sounds like it's an option within whichever keyboard you have installed (I'm assuming the stock keyboard). You can go into settings -> Language & Input. In here, there are a couple of options. One is for the "Personal Dictionary" you can check that one out. Otherwise, click on the settings icon of whichever keyboard you use. The option might be in there.
Let me know if this works for ya!

I am sorry i am being vague, i just dont know how to explain, your solution was pretty close but didnt work, let me see if i can better say what i want to convey.
before the update, when i would send a text i would start typing and a suggested word would come up in the box above the keyboard....thats fine with me, i would then tap the word and then in the box above the keyboard there would be a (- @ ' ! ? and a ,) displayed. now when i tap the suggested word, there is another suggested word immediate and not the punctuation marks as above. when i did teh update it said i could change all that by doing teh settings/disable personalized setings thing. i hope that helped cause this is driving me crazy.
one more things that is going on here is that I have all keyboard sounds turned off as well as the haptic vibrations with key taps but yet it still happens

Hmmm, I haven't been on a stock ROM for quite a while, so I'm not sure the settings layout... I'll flash one quickly and see if I can find any settings that might help you out. Give me an hour or two (I'm at work and while flashing a new ROM doesn't take too long, I have to still do stuff here, haha)

no worries no need to go through all that, i do appreciate it tho. I got it kinda figured out, i have to go into the samsung keyboard settings to get rid of the sounds so i got all that worked out. now to get the punctuation visible I have to long press the UP arrow. I guess i can deal with that.
thanks again.

I know a lot of "advice" on this thread turns out to be people saying "you shouldn't use that, this app is much better at what you want to do!" I don't particularly like that, as it rarely helps the person with the specific problem. But alas, I'll be doing that exact same thing below:
As far as keyboards go, I personally use Swype Beta. Others use swiftkey flow and really enjoy them. A lot of people are amazed at how fast they can type once they get used to the swype interface. I'm consistently beating my most able-fingered friends who are tapping away on their iPhones (although I don't mean this thread to turn into an apple-bashing party... I hate those as well).
Anyways, it's worth it to just try out Swype Beta... it's free and if you don't like it, you can uninstall it. No Root required.

Ok, here you go...
Settings -> Language and Input -> Samsung Keyboard -> Predictive Text -> Personalized Data
In fact, you might want to just turn off predictive text (it'll automatically turn off personalized data). I think that's the feature that you don't like.
Here's what it looks like on my screen.

So i downgraded my kdz from v10c to v10b and i am stuck at verify google account screen? i dont remember the account i was using before as i make a new one everytime i use play store....it asks me to enter my number then asks me to enter my name....after it shows me three accounts when i enter password it takes me back to Connect to wifi or cellular page? is there any way to bypass this?
How do you not know your Google username and password? Why do you use a new one for every phone? Surely you knew that you needed to re-enter it wen doing a downgrade...

No i didn't know i would need to enter it if i flash a kdz...i have been a samsung user followed a guide here to flash kdz of an earlier firmware.....this is my brand new phone just bought it two days ago...i guess i have no choice but to destroy this phone now
i still have the original purchase receipt but it will be useless as there are not lg service centers in my country
done, smashed it with a hammer....lol no need to give solutions

Yes, destroying it is the only option now.
Please make a video of the destruction so we can ensure you do it right. It's important that you are thorough, otherwise the phone could come back to haunt you.

Are you talking about a forced login to existing credentials, or asked to login to any Google account? Because all Android phones ask you to login to a Google account to use the phone, but you can skip it if desired.
Activation lock is new in 5.1 I believe.

It was a forced login to existing credentials.....not the usual "google login or signup" thing
Security measure ?
say this phone was stolen and the thief tried to do the same.
You're brave. get a phone when there is no service centre to rescue you . Start flashing stuff on day 2 with only knoweledge from samsung.

Its a new feature in android 5.1 if you have a google account setup (which you most likely do if you are using playstore) and you have setup a screen lock Then after flashing anything it will ask you to "login" that google account you were using earlier. In my case i didn't remember the account i was using as i always make a new random account to download apps, i never had this issue before so i dont enter any recovery phone numbers to my google account, another thing when making google account it asks you to enter phone number and stuff if you have done that then you maybe able to unlock the phone by clicking "cant find username" button it will take you to another page where it will ask you to enter your recovery number...and then all the accounts linked to that number will get displayed you can try one by one....each of them unfortunately i had not done this i coudn't get the email account that was linked to this phone.

Serious question - why on earth do you sign up for a new Google account every time you set your phone up? That seems absolutely ridiculous to me (and to your contacts, who will in all likelihood see multiple copies of your details in their contact lists for every Google account you've signed up for!
Extremely suspicious.....

You posted both the serial number and the imei number of the phone. See attached screen shot. So I assume the phone actually isn't stolen, otherwise it would be quite stupid to post these pictures.
I personally don't get what people are really trying to be so secure against... Unless you're an international criminal or terrorist running from powerful governments , seriously what does anyone truly have to worry about? What are the chances some hacker is gonna invest his time and effort into any close to normal one of us and chances are there's people out there with way more money that's accessible online that you or me lol most people are way too paranoid about their location of all things ..like so what ? How is anyone gonna profit or benefit from knowing where we are ...I have nothing to hide anyone wants to waste their time knowing where I am they can come on down to southeast Georgia USA in the heart of har. Mkd core imbread cousin f..kin redneck country where I was unfortunately born and raised and see what all the security measures are really for and its just as lame as it sounds lmao and I personally would never put anything I didn't want anyone to see , hell the world to see , anywhere near an internet connection.. I can't believe people put their entire lives earnings in online banks, I won't a regular bank...my point is it doesn't make sense to waste security measures on nothing important ...this is just my opinion ya know ...just off like 2+2 don't equal 5 lol
