Multiple User Profile Question - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Is anyone else noticing that in their second user profile some of the settings are not available to that user?
Lots of the custom Rom settings appear to be missing in the second profile that are available in the first profile..
Thanks

I believe all addition profiles are supposed to be limited in order to protect the primary profile.

Thanks for the response. That's kind of a bummer because my wife can't customize her profile with paranoid android. All of the custom settings only apply to the main profile.

The additional profiles were always touted as a way to allow your children to use your tablet while protecting them from roaming adult sites, making purchases and accessing you banking apps.

I think there are two types of profiles you can create. One is like for kids and it's based on the primary profile and you can control which apps can be accessed, all of which are apps from the primary profile. The second type creates a completely new profile which must install its own apps.

Data services

I'm curious to know if there is a way to activate then deactivate data services on demand per program request.

Interesting app. Have read the name hundreds of times but never tried it.

I see it has to schedule 3g activation times for background services. My question was more for on demand when not using the phone. So instead of scheduling it would be automatic.

With froyo you can turn off data when you want

I appreciate your help but i must be asking the wrong question.
Scenario:
My phone is in my pocket. 3g is off. a program wants to use data. Lets say my email app wants to poll for new mail.
With jd I'm waiting for the schedule window. Is there a way to enable 3g when my email wants data use, then disable when its done. But also, be not limited to just the email client but any app.
I'm sill studying my java and xml before I start diving into app dev.

JuiceDefender allows for "exceptions" (apps that are capable of utilizing data when they need to regardless of JD's settings) if you set all of the apps you wanted to have them then I'm sure it would be pretty close to what you want, but don't expect the same level of battery saving.
I bought jd just to test that. I will see how it goes.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I can't be positive if its jd or the apps but the on demand thing is crap. I'm guessing its not jd. But the way the apps send and receive data using the "service" doesn't work like it should.

[Q] Email App on GN?

Could someone please give an idea of what the email client on the GN can do? I'm on the SGS2 at the moment and, while not perfect, the built in email client allows to search the server and control the sync via schedules.
Is the Email on the Galaxy Nexus just like the AOSP 2.3 version, are there any enhancements, does it have issues with wake locks?
TIA
I use it to connect to my exchange server at work. It seems the same as the 2.3 app except it has a white instead of black theme. I haven't noticed any other differences. And yes you can set the check frequency to your liking.

Thanks. Can it search emails that have NOT been synced to your device? And can you tell it to push Mo - Fr 07:00 - 23:00 and do manual pull the rest of the time?
TIA
Nope.
If I needed those features, i would use Touchdown.

Yes, I have bought touchdown but sadly it supports push on ONE account only which is unacceptable to me. I need to receive push emails from several businesses and would prefer not to forward them into a single mailbox....

Messaging apk and custom roms

I know this might sound trivial but this is the only ROM I've seen with customized messaging app that includes pop up, my question is how come no one includes a way in the ROM or app to set individual contact notifications without downloading another app

First of all, I have no idea what rom your talking about. I'm assuming ANYTHING based on CM10 or AOKP code.
Second, stock android has never had custom notifications for individual contacts. And to do this someone would actually have to code it! Maybe they'll get around to it, maybe they won't. Maybe it never crossed their minds because they don't use such a thing, or maybe because there's apps for that! but for native support, it has to be something a dev actually wants to have.
Not trying to be a douche either, just informing :highfive:

I am also running CNA 3.6.0 but I do not know where the option to set custom notification tone for individual contact. Can you help me please?
Honestly no where, to achieve this you need to go to messaging settings turn off notifications, go to play store download sms popup and enable it and then find contact notifications.

MIUI also includes sms popups in the stock app
Yes but those pop UPS don't support individual notifications as far as I know

Programming NFC Tiles with Tasker?

I have looked everywhere for the answer to this so it either doesn't exist or I completely missed it, but how do you program Samsung Tectiles or other NFC tiles with Tasker? I've heard of other members using Tasker to be able to set some pretty advanced profile options onto their NFC tiles using Tasker, but for the life of me I just can't figure out how they do it.
Thanks in advance guys.
In playstore tasker will have link to there web site shows u all possibilities for tasker

Try an app called "NFC Task Launcher" for programming the tags. If I remember correctly, it ties in with Tasker.

I need a Tasker profile that contains NFC programming capability. Their website doesn't have profiles for that on it. I need to know where to get the profile.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
The web site has allot of info
I personally use NFC retag for setting up tags. Dont forget to set up Tasker to allow external access.
You dont create profiles, you trigger specific tasks within Tasker using NFC Launcher or NFC retag. If you are trying to trigger a profile just set up the tag to trigger the tasks of that profile.
Your best bet is to search xda and google for examples of how others have theirs set up. I dont think there is a single site with all the info you are seeking.
Here is one example that I use setup in NFC retag for my car:
Cycle 1
1. Turns off wifi
2. Bluetooth on
2. Tasker task - triggers popup announcing Cycle start (nfc retag has a popup function, but it is not as modifiable)
3. Start app - Torque (Tasker is already setup to turn on/off gps for this app)
4. Tasker task - plugin Bluetooth Auto Connect connects to bt obdii device
Cycle 2
1. Bluetooth off
2. Tasker task - popup announces cycle stop

Nexus 7 Kit Kat email replacement

Ok, so ever since kit kat update, the stock email app has become completely useless. The drag and drop feature has been removed and now I cannot delete not move my emails.
My question is what alternatives are worth looking into. I'm dabbling with Aquamail, but it is so focused on multiple accounts that it's features are driving me crazy. Is there anything out there that can match the old stock email app or should I give up on managing my email on my tablet?

Thanks. I've used K-9 in the past. I hadn't heard many good comments when I checked last. Have they made some improvements? Can you finally change the messed up notification settings?

I'm not sure what you mean by messed up notification settings, but k9 provides the standard notification options. I get sound, vibration and led notifications without problems.

Woops, I never got notified of this post. My issue with the notification settings was that K9 would never do bulk notifications, only notifications for each and every single email, which drove me nuts.
Gahhhh, if only Google hadn't ruined the email app...
