[REQ] Knock on your phone to be quiet

Hello,
i just read about a Microsoft-patent. The idea is simple:
If you go to a meeting for example and you forgot to mute your phone, then it would be nice, if you could slap your phone to mute the ringtone instantly. This could be realised with the g-sensor.
It could also be used in mediaplayers for pause.
That was the idea, but i have no plan how to program anything
Maybe there are some peole who also like this idea?
Greetings,
Inselstaat

Vibration for notifications

I searched and could not find anything regarding changing the vibration pattern for an all stock note 2. Mine will only vibrate in a single long pattern, no matter what I set it to in the settings. I like to use the stock messaging because it's compatibility with the lock screen but I'd really like it to vibrate in a couple short pulses instead of that single long one. If I'm missing something I apologize but I have no idea what to change aside from the options in the settings menu. Any help or other information would be much appreciated, I'm sure it's something silly I'm missing anyway!

Go to settings- sounds-device vibration u can chabge it to a few different patterns

Same problem for me, and it's super frustrating. Is this specific to the AT&T version I wonder??

I am not sure! That is how the note 1 default notification vibrate was, the single long pulse. The sms mms one was a quick twin pulse, I'd prefer that! I like how the sms app works with the tw lock screen and launcher etc so I don't want to use another one if I can avoid it. I wish it would allow me to use a different vibration setting because my phone is silent a lot! I asked samsung and they gave me the ringtone answer. The service from the online chat is weak.

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.

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

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.

Touchwake

Hi guys!
I am missing a feature I used to have on my old Galaxy I9000: It is called "touchwake" and allows the screen to be switched on, if it gets touched.
Very handy feature and I think TWRP already has it (maybe it's a sensor thing, though). Has anybody an idea? Is this a kernel feature?

You don't have to reach for the power/home button when your screen times out (and this happens to me quite often if I'm reading something)

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the stock standard feature cater for that (SmartStay)?
Monitors your eyes and prevents the screen from switching off if you are looking at it.

Why dont you just download screen on toggler from the play store. That way, you can just quickly pull the menu down, press a button and your screen will never time out. Press it again and it switches back to your original time out setting.
Comes in handy when its too dark for smart stay to work.

There is a confusion on this function. This kind of feature allow you to turn on the screen without pressing any physical button. You can take the phone out from your pocket and swipe or touch the screen and the device will wake up.

Obvious solution: increase your time-out setting.
I have it at 2 min (hate the absurdly short time-out many people seem to use) and it never times out when I am reading.
Plus, as already mentioned, if for whatever reason that I can't imagine you want to keep a short time-out setting, you can always use SmartStay which works surprisingly well and can be very easily and quickly turned on and off with its toggle in the notification shade.

Guys, this isn't about SmartStay or the likes. I am already using it, also QuickGlance. TouchWake means turning ON the display by merely touching it (2 seconds for example). I was asking for this feature in the Perseus kernel thread, if you like the idea, just vote up my request.
PS: I also tried "proximity screen off" from playstore. It's nice but still not what I was looking for. A fast double tap for screen on would be nice for example.

I fell in love with this feature seeing it on a BB10 device (and that's just about the ONLY thing that I like about the BB10 BTW :laugh.
It would be awesome and would enable us to get rid of the physical home button (which wastes space and is a durability worry but it's still needed to wake the phone up as it's way more comfortable to use than the power button).

As I've seen on your comments you really don't know what it is.

DerTeufel ( the guy working on dual boot ) just released a kernel with touchwake.... here

Reminds me of MeeGo. This would be an awesome feature, given that the physical buttons don't seem to last well over time...

Yeah! Big thanks to DerTeufel! Good job for what I can say so far. Will test some more days

[Q] I have a few questions about my new Optimus G Pro

I recently upgraded to the LG Optimus G Pro and I love it and all, but while I'm at work when I get messages, my phone does all sorts of crazy things in my pocket because the screen comes on. I was wondering if there was a setting that I was looking over that would stop it from doing that? I'm trying not to root it because I know the bare minimum about rooting phones, but I did root my Galaxy s2 Skyrocket with youtube tutorials.

What things is it doing? I have the flip case and that keeps it from coming on and such. I think there is a pocket mode in the setting(I could be wrong about this though) check in display section or even under notifications.

I think there are a few others who have complained about this as well. I don't have a texting plan (I use Google Voice), so I haven't ever experienced this. However, if there aren't any options in the phone settings, there may be another way.
I seem to be on this Tasker kick lately, so when someone has a problem that is related to the phone sensors or events, I tend to think "how can I fix this with Tasker?!" . As a result, I have made an app really quick using Tasker and have even included the project XML if you want to fiddle with it on your own. It does NOT require root. However, it will need you to install another free app called "Secure Settings" and give it administrator rights in your phone settings. All that the app does is wait for an incoming message and checks to see if the proximity sensor detects something in front of it. If it does, it turns the screen off. However, like I said, I don't have a texting plan, so I haven't had a chance to really test it. The app interface is just an "ON/OFF" button and a "Close" button. If it doesn't work, just turn it off or uninstall it. It is set to "OFF" when it is first installed.
Alternatively, you can play around with it if you get Tasker. I think there is still a trial period you can get if you aren't sure if you want to buy it. Let me know if it works or if you have any other questions.
I named the xml file as a .zip just to upload to xda. Just rename the file without the ".zip" at the end and then you can edit and/or import to Tasker.

Okay I just realised that there is an emergency call button on the screen when you have either pin, password or pattern unlock set. If you just have swipe, there is no emergency call button. Maybe this will help?
