So I want to use the tectile in my car. The setting is simple, I want to tap the tectile and my N2 will change into the drive/car mode.Also I want it to go back to normal mode when I get out of the car, do I need to set up another tectile for that?
The tectiles don't have a switch mode or toggle mode? I know nfc task launcher can make switches & toggles but I'm not sure of the tectiles app
So I'm using NFC Task Launcher and I set it to Drive Mode. And it works. But I noticed the settings will remain the same even when I tap it again. So in other words, I would need 2 tectiles, one to get it to drive mode and another one to get back to normal mode? That would be stupid and a waste.
When you select drive mode, does it give you the option to turn it on, off or toggle?
Edit: I see it does give you the option to toggle it. Select that option when writing to the tag. Should do the trick
im pretty sure you would have to make it 2 separate tiles because 1 tile changes what you want changed and every time you touch that tile, it'll do that until you change it yourself or use a different tile. your phone doesn't stay connected to the tectile, it just reads the comand and executes

Yeah. I figured it out by playing with it. I guess it's a way for them to make more money.

If you are using the current version of NFC Task Launcher, you hit the plus to add a new tag.
Select New Tag.
Add Enable Car Dock {Driving Mode?}
Swipe the screen to the left to create a Switch Tag and hit the Add a Task button.
Add the Disable Car Dock. {Driving Mode?}
Save and write.
Now the first time you do it, it will enable and the second time it will disable it.
I just created one to do just that.
If you have trouble, I can do screenshots in more detail.

That's pretty much what I did. I've written 3 tags so far. One for home, one for car, and one for office.
The one for home turns off gps, turns on wifi, sets sound profile to normal, loudest ring tone, enables auto-sync, and sets the brightness down to 20%. It also disables the lockscreen because frankly I don't need the lockscreen around the house.
The one in the car turns off wifi, turns on BT, turns on GPS, disables auto-sync, turns brightness up to 80%, sound profile normal, loudest ring volume.
And the one in the office turns off wifi, turns off BT, turns off GPS, disables auto-sync, brightness to 20%, sound profile vibrate.
This thing is just super fun. I have to think of more places I can put these tags on. I'm thinking of putting one in the bathroom to automatically turn on npr in the morning.
With NFC Task Launcher, there is "two tasks" so you can set 2 tasks with one tag. It's exactly what I wanted!
So I just set one for the office where: 1st Task: Ringtone and Notification goes to vibrate only. 2nd Task: Ringtone & Notification goes to level 5. So when I get into the office, I would tap it once and it will go into office mode, then when I leave the office, I tap it again and it will go into the "2nd Task"!
Also found out that you cannot use NFC while the screen is off! That's stupid. So I searched and found this but reading it tells me that it does not work for the N2.

I am trying to use my Moto 360 with Sleep as Android, and would like for the watch screen only to come on when I double tap the face. Is there a setting or app that would allow for this kind of setting?
Thanks
I would also really like to be able to disable the flick of the wrist Action for turning on the Screen. Is this possible? I would like for the Screen to only come on when i press the button.
Same here, the #1 functionality they need to add into this right now are some settings to adjust how/when the watch face turns on
cool
I like one feature on my Gear S that I can set it to show the last screen I looked it to appear on arm raise. I am a jogger so when jogging to lift arm and see music control to skip next track is a biggie vs trying move through setting when running is harder for me.
Is this possible?
I believe if you accidentally dismissed a screen, you can undo it by swiping up, but you have to be quick. You should see a screen like this.
What I am looking for is the last screen to show and now the clock screen so if I am on music control and start jogging when I raise my arm or press the button I see the "last" screen that was active not the clock...
I like AOD and i have it on as default. However, when I'm at work I don't need to have it on since I can see my notifications & calls from the computer (using Join extensions & app). I tried messing around with Tasker but unable to accomplish anything so far. Do you guys know any quick way to turn on/off AOD without having to go into the display settings?
Edit - Found an app that let me toggles AOD
App is called "Tiles". There's a tile in the app called "Always On", switch it on, then run this adb command to allow the app make secure setting changes: adb shell pm grant com/rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Link to app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles
One workaround. Pull town quick tiles, touch menu (gear to right of date), then in search box type "ambient", that will let you choose "Battery > Ambient Display". It takes long steps the first time. Next time just pull down tiles, touch gear, touch search bar, touch "ambient" (that stays in list), touch home button. It seems the 2XL keeps the last five searches.
There may be a better way, but I have not found it yet. Been trying to do it with Tasker and maybe a plugin, but nothing yet.

I have Tiles, granted permission through ADB, and the Ambient Display toggle does nothing.
Edit: It turns on and off the "New notification - wake screen when you receive notifications" setting. Not the Always On setting..
Edit 2: You need to use the Always On tile and not Ambient Display. Works well!

If you could, please provide a link to "Tiles". I tried searching for it in the Play Store and most of the hits are games.
I'm trying to find a solution to my phone screen turning off when it's plugged in and a call comes in. Maybe this is the fix I've been looking for.

Here you go: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles
You can also squeeze your phone/activate assistant and say "turn always on display off"
Tasker does work, try the "custom setting" option.
How can I get the display of a running app active? If I start for example a navigation with "Here we go" the display always switch to the watch display after a time. Ok, I can switch the display with a button or with the ring but I need to see the app until I switch it off.
Thank´s for tipps.

Go to settings/display/show last app and change 20secs(default time) for the rank that you want.

You are a lifesaver.
Thank you very much.
not for me. Because the display is limited then by setting/display/timeout to a maximum of 5 min.

That setting works for me as my use case is that I have to stay in a particular app, say for example the music player.
Doesn't matter if the display switches off when I lower my wrist. That can be easily remedied by flicking the wrist or tapping a button.
What shouldn't happen is the app exiting itself to the home screen.
Therefore, it works like a charm for me.
