Hi. I had a few questions before I bought tasker. any help is appreciated.
1) will it drain battery? I need simple tasks such as notification counts for zooper and was wondering if it was hard on the battery life?
2) IS it possible and if so what would be the tasker variables/value if I wanted to display the total number of missed calls and his caller ID in a zooper widget? Can this also be done for other apps like whatsapp where I can get the sender ID and perhaps the first line of the message that they sent?
So in concrete if my friend jack called me and then sent me a text how can I create a variable that I can use in Zooper to display it as:
1 missed call from Jack
and for the text to output as:
JACK says "Where movie is playing at the club tonight?"
with the text in quotations being the message text.
Thanks

I need to know if there is a following setting fo WM5:
1) is there any patch to remind the missing calls continously ?
i mean when a call unanswered, the option will adjust it to remind the call by repeat it within 1 minute or 2 minutes or any adjustable rate. samsung mobile phones have this option and is very useful for remind the missing calls and also for messages.
2) how can i adjust SMS text message tone different from CB (channel broadcast) cell message tone ?
i am not able to apply different ringtones for SMS text message and CB (cell channel messages) anyway to apply different tones instead of same tone ?
2) when i look to a missing call i also wonder if there is a option to see the caller name or number on main notifier screen instead of "1 missinh call" like normal mobile phones show it.
3) i also want to learn if there is a way to use MDA Pro camera for video call on Messenger and on skype to chat by video ?
above 3 feature is very usefull for me and want to learn is there is a possibility for above features.
thanks.
I was wondering if anyone knows if the TP2 had the capabilities to have a different ringtone for each person so that when they call AND text it is the same ringtone for that specific contact, instead of defaulting back to the main ringtone for texts. I have tried searching for this on google but I have only found solutions for this problem if I have a blackberry. For example, I would like Song A to play for Person A when they text AND call. I would like Song B to play for Person B when they text AND call. Right now all it will do is to play Song A when Person A calls and Song B when Person B calls. When either Person A or B texts me, it will play Song C. Is there something I am missing on what to do to fix this? Is there a setting I can change or is there a hack that I can use? Any help is appreciated.
PhoneAlarm lets you assign custom tones based on email or SMS subject & sender.
(I'm starting to feel like a shill for PA, but it is the only thing I have to contribute at this point.)
There is no "built-in" method for setting per-person Text ringers. (I used to have this feature on VzW's "The V" a few years back, and haven't seen it built-into a phone since).
As the other poster mentions, there are various applications that can be installed after-the-fact to provide this feature for each contact for text messages.
Definitely need to try PhoneAlarm myself... hadn't seen that one yet.
I have added Engadget and The Register to my RSS feeds.
Has anyone any idea if/how one can modify the xml files or whatever it is so that a custom icon could be associated with a particular subscription?
I am sure it is possible on some level because the preloaded RSS options have unique icons. I'd love to implement the Engadget and Register icons and any future RSS feeds I decide to add....would make the incoming alerts much more quickly recognizable.
While we're at it.....I've had this phone for 2 weeks and on ONE incoming call, the notification of an incoming call appeared in the ticker, and only the ticker. I don't recall what I was doing when that happened, and cannot seem to reproduce this no matter how many test calls I try. Was this a fluke? I'd actually love for all my incoming calls to appear in the ticker....since I usually hit ignore anyway! Anyone know how this is supposed to work?
sorry for posting two mostly unrelated questions
Is it possible to modify the application that the ignore with text feature uses? (To clarity, this pops up when you have an incoming call, it gives you the option to ignore the call, and automatically send a preset message to the caller) I like the idea but it uses the stock messaging app and I use Google Voice for all texting.
Also slightly related, I noticed when I get a missed SMS in the stock messaging app, my lockscreen has a tab that says missed message or whatever. Is is possible to change that to maybe Google Voice? or maybe to show emails as well?
Perhaps this is a shot in the dark and maybe a limitation of touchwiz but I figured I would see if anyone knew anything.
I'd also like to see a count of unread Gmail and GV messages in the dock above the application icon, but that may be a bit too much to expect.
I'm looking for a new Text-To-Speech app that announces the name of who's calling and who's texting me. I just uninstalled Voice Alerts because it doesn't announce names without cutting out and worse, it doesn't stop announcing caller's names long after you've declined the call. I also used SMS Alerts and some others, but each one ends up failing.
Does anyone else use an app like this on their GN2?
Hmm... guess no one like to use TTS announcements instead of ringtones like I do. I did find and am trying out "Call Announcer". I had a minor problem at first so I contacted the Developer who replied fairly quickly. It's working so far.
I've used Full Screen Caller ID for quite a while: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androminigsm.fscifree&hl=en
Besides the bigger contact picture, it will announce calls and read text messages.
Turn on driving mode under touchwiz. (You will find it under the quick toggles in the pull down notification screen.)
I am not 100% it works the way you want it to, but it does announce who is calling and who sent you a text message. Play with it.
I was wondering how that was happening on my mom's note.
