Hey guys. I was wondering if there's an easy way to make an NFC toggle such that when the tag is within range a) happens and when it goes out of range b) happens. Essentially I want my phone to into silent mode when i place it on my nightstand and go off silent mode when i remove the phone from the night stand.
I know a "workaround" is to make the tag toggle for each swipe but if possible I'd like to not have to swipe a second time to remove silent mode.
Any ideas?
Yeah, i'm looking for the same... i'm not sure if there is such a thing.
maybe one way would be for an app maker to have a feature where the nfc will be checked say every minute to see if it's still within range. if it is, leave the setting alone. if it's out of range, it will do the 'out of range' action. shouldn't draw much battery I don't think?
I want this feature so I can put a tag in my car so when i'm in the car, it will turn on bluetooth, and when I get the phone out of it's spot, it will turn BT back off. (so it's only on while i'm in the car)

NFC tag to turn BT on, then use Tasker to turn BT off after it looses connection to your car BT device.

that seems like a great app, but I don't think I ever paid 7 bucks for an app lol... and i've gotten some great apps for much less. just saying...
good idea though.
Tasker is well worth its money. You can replace so many apps with it that in the end you'll end up saving loads of money

I've used this in my car
I've faced the same problem in my car.
I've put a tag on the phone mount, when touched it enables car mode.
I've used tasker to take the phone out of car mode when my bluetooth HFP get's disconnected (when car is turned off, or I'm more than 5 m' away).
I can also do the same when the phone is unplugged from the car charger.
It's not perfect, but will work unless you turn the car of without removing the phone, and then on again (no NFC tap to re-enable the car mode).
Hope this helps someone
Weirdest thing I found after purchasing the Moga controller for my note 2. When I have my bluetooth enabled I get all sorts of wifi issues. 1st was it would disconnect from my access point and go to 3g. Once I opened my wifi settings I would notice that my access point was disabled and I had to force connect again. Did some searching and disabled the sprint smart connection or what ever is called. It worked! Played around a bit and was extremely happy. Few minutes ago I felt like doing some testing and apparently now I noticed when bluetooth is enabled my wifi will not disconnect anymore but it will load a page extremely slow and indefinitely but As soon as I disable bluetooth my wifi works perfect. Please help me figure out if it's a known bug with a fix coming in ota or if my phone is defective. I've only had it a few days and I don't want to root or wait too long before I take it back. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Update:
My phone won't even find any access points if bluetooth is on before wifi ...

SOLVED UPDATE
It was the damn MOGA controller. Forewarning for those thinking of purchasing this device. UNPAIR the MOGA when your done with it. Idk what the phones does on the technical side but I do know that THAT fixed my wifi problem. Im guessing it stays looking for the controller, bug maybe? Who should I contact to report that bug lol

For my issue I can confirm that it was before and after the update I'm on the latest stock rooted but the issue was there long before I rooted. I had even taken it back to the store. As soon as I un pair the moga it works perfectly.

I dont have a moga but will test with my headset. migjt explain the buffer issues I have while my headset is connected
Edit - CONFIRMED!
Craziness. 10 mbps slower every single time...turn of BT Device and BaM.. speeds are normal again
bt on the phone itself remained on. all I did was power off/disconnect the headset and speeds went back up. definitely explains why I had issues streaming in starbucks wifi yesterday. everything buffered. turned off my headset so friends could hear the video and it worked flawlessly
ok so someone fix it

really odd. in my case if my bluetooth headset is playing audio my speedtest come in 10mbps slower. if I turn the headset off (pandora still streaming) the speed test immediately runs 10 mbps faster. this only happens on wifi.
turn it back on....speeds immediately drop again

Hmm I hope we don't have defective phones because I took mine in to sprint and neither they or I could replicate the bug while in store. Came home and found out it was the MOGA

Yeah the moga on the sofware front suck ass. I too can only connect while pressing the button although its it or miss. Admittedly I do have a love hate relationship with it. When it works its awesome when I need it to work asap for a brief waiting room wait for the doctor or smthing I spend most of the time fidgeting with it ERRRRR lol have u tried the MOGA IME app? Makes it worth keeping. PowerA should pay that man commission or something for every moga he stops the return of.

1) When I plug it into a USB, the screen turns on.
2) When I unplug it from a USB, the screen turns on.
3) When the 15% and 5% battery warning occurs, the screen turns on.
4) I would give $50 for a solution that records every call automatically whether it occurs over Bluetooth, speaker, or just the regular phone.
5) I use GPS with navitagion. I turn off GPS. I go about my business. I turn GPS on again later, and it can't find a lock. I check using a GPS tool. No satellites. I reset the device, and the satellites come back and I get a lock. This is really annoying.

Frosty rom is already closed. You need to update baseband too.
For no 1 and 2 ) its inbuilt feature of s3. You cant disable it; I have use all cm aokp and aosp roms and this is on on every roms.
3) you can disable those notification by editing somthing ; check mods on android development section.
4) you cant record sound using bluetooth ; enabling record breaks bluetooth.
5) I guess our s3 has native gps problem. You cant not lock in quick like other phone.

Frosty is old.
1. and 2.) Problems 1 and 2 are easily disabled inside the framework-res.apk on 4.2 and up. Only problem 2 is solved on 4.1.1 with the framework-res.apk mod.
3.) On CM10.1 i do not get my screen woken when the low battery occurs. Just a notification sound.
4.) This is partly kernel related and security issues come about with things like this. There are apps that do it but some don't work, because of the security issues.
5.) Download Faster GPS from the android market. My S3 locks within seconds of acquiring location.
Many of your "issues" are not pertaining to the device itself, more so the choice of your ROM and kernel combinations.

I think this is something more serious. When it works, it locks in RIGHT AWAY. But when it doesn't, it never does. But then when I reboot the machine, it locks in right away. To explain it a little clearer:
1. Time to drive somewhere. Turn on GPS, open nav. Bang. Locked right away, drive to destination.
2. Arrive at destination. Turn nav off, turn GPS off. Go inside, attend party, have a good time.
3. Get back in car. Turn on GPS, open NAV. Does not lock. Wait 10 minutes. Still no lock.
4. Consider throwing phone out the window and buying an atlas.
5. Reboot GS3. Turn on GPS. Open NAV. Works immediately, like Step 1.

Why turn off GPS. It only comes on and uses power when an app calls for it.

That's not the point, we should be able to turn it on and off as we please and it should work.
I've been having many GPS problems on this device as well, you're not alone.
I've heard reverting with Odin fixes GPS but I haven't tried it yet because I'm lazy.

Well then the problem seens to me that turningbitboff and on causes something to fail. Maybe maps cache. I have always left gps on from the verybfirst android phone ive had and never had problems with battery. It seems more time consumi ng to turn it off and then back on.

Not sure about via the speaker, but automatic call recording through Bluetooth & handset is definitely possible... Clear as a bell... And costs considerably less than 50 bills.
Edit: yep! Perfect through speaker too!

I always keep my gps on all the time doesn't drain my battery at all unless I use it a lot and its locks on for me to find my way home As for the screen lighting up just dont look at it will turn off eventually
It's still early, and have only had my N3 for 12 hours. I'll get rid of this thread if it's something completely obvious that I'm missing.
Dozens of times today, my screen has just turned on.
This has been, while charging, not charging, headset plugged in, not plugged in, while streaming music, while waze has been running, laying flat, etc.
I've disabled the motion controls, smart stay (thought it was maybe seeing eyes?)
Any ideas, or are you guys/gals experiencing this too?
It just happened to me. Left it charging then out of nowhere it turns on and I'm in the other side of the room.

Probably only had 5 minutes of pure "out of the box" use before rooting, but restored most apps in piece-meal. Noticed it especially while driving and playing music (while charging and bluetooth paired). I know it wasn't due to notifications.
I'll have to keep playing around with it and try to replicate, as it hasn't done it since I disabled most of the motion controls.
Do you know which control causes the phone to vibrate when you pick it up?

I had the same problem with the Note 1.
Last ROM I put on it stopped it.
anyone knows how we could enable galaxy watches to disconnect from phone and connect to your wifi automatically?
I've tried wifi auto and always on and all the time i have to disconnect manually? i understand if you wear your watch to sleep for tracking purposes it would benefit the users, but we are talking about a day or two usage before charging it.
back then when i was on wear os watches, this is automatic.

Just taking a shot in the dark hear (and a work around) but could you use Tasker to turn off the Bluetooth on your phone when it connects to your home Wi-Fi? I would think if you did this it would force your watch to connect to a saved Wi-Fi network.

I'm quite sure once you turn bluetooth back on, phone will attempt to connect back to the watch and watch will allow it.
very thankful you tried to help [emoji16]

for some reason, it's working as expected now.. not sure what changed, but instead of disconnecting the watch from the phone, i could leave it as is and still get notification on my phone instead of the watch. watch now connects to wifi automatically, so it will notify my phone instead of vibrating the watch.
