[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BROKKANIC:
When I run into that issue, it usually turns out to be a busted USB cable.

Either switch the cable or inspect the port on your phone to see If all the pins are aligned
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] n7slc:
I appreciate the suggestion but it did not work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BROKKANIC:
Try uninstalling KIES and install KIES Mini to try and get the proper drivers installed.

If that doesn't work it may be an issue with the custom ROM and/or Kernel. I'd suggest flashing over to something else to see if that fixes the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] n7slc:
SOLVED!

Well done BROKKANIC! It must have been the AOKP ROM I was using. I updated to the latest update and now the composite device is working. With my Captivate, Artix and SGSII, I've flashed ROMs hundreds of times and this is the first time I've ever run in to this problem.

Thanks for the suggestion!

There is no option for video call in yahoo messenger ( only instant message,

Is Archos G9 support video call in yahoo messenger ?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Chef_Tony:
As far as I know, it has not been possible to use the direct call / pick up to call feature from the SGS3 on the SGS2, yet.

And while it is not THE most desirable feature, I decided to try and create a Tasker profile that does the same thing.

As I don't use SMS ever, I set it up for WhatsApp, but the information here is free to be picked up and changed to whatever you like, as long as you post it back.

IDEA:

If you are messaging a contact and suddenly decide to call said contact, you should just pick up the phone and hold it to your ear and the contact will be called.

WHAT YOU NEED:

- Tasker

- WhatsApp

- Any Android Phone with G-Sensor and Accelerometer

TUTORIAL:

1. Preparations:

1.1 Set Tasker as an Accessibility Service. This is necessary, so Tasker can read the current window title and can therefor recognize, if you are currently in WhatsApp

2. Creating the profile:

2.1 Open Tasker and click the + at the bottom to create a new profile.

2.2 Name it anything you like. For the sake of this tut it will be called "Call Whatsapp"

2.3 In First Context, click Event, then Sensor, then Gesture

2.4 Give it a name, e.g. "Pick Up"

2.5 In the field Pattern it lets you record the movement you want to assign. Recording is started and stopped through a volume key. Record the pattern you like, in my case it was from flat face up to vertical (with a 90 degree turn towards the ear).

3. Task Selection

3.1 In Task Selection, choose new Task, name it "Call"

3.2 Click + to add action and replicate what you see in the screenshot

3.3 Confirm everything with the Checkmark, until you are back to the Tasker Overview.

4. Adding another Context

4.1 Click your "Call Whatsapp" profile

4.2 Long press the left box "Gesture Pick Up". The overlay "Context Options" will appear

4.3 Click "Add", Application, select WhatsApp and click the Checkmark

5. You are good to go

ALTERNATIVE:

I attached my profile for you to download, if you don't want to go through all the steps. It is still recommended to record your own gesture, so it fits the way you pick up the phone and hold it to your ear. Just download the profile, extract the zip file, copy the xml to your phone and import it in tasker.

Download

If you want to add the same functionality to your messaging client, or Email, Gmail or whatever, you just need to create a very similar profile again, just with another key combination, whichever works for said client.

If you can add anything to improve this, please share. I am sure, there are other , maybe better ways to implement this, through variables that grab the current contact and then call that variable, but for me, tasker's call feature cannot call variables like %CNUM.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Chef_Tony:
EXTENSIONS / CUSTOMIZATIONS:

Using the Ambient Light Sensor & Proximity Sensor

It makes sense to bind at least one of those sensors to the profile, to make sure, the phone is actually lifted to your face, and not just picked up from the table.

Here is a simple guide on how to integrate both sensors, again, this is a very basic approach and open for suggestions and improvements by you guys, so please share, if you tweaked this or found an entirely better way to solve this.

Creating the Proximity Profile

1. Create a new Profile "Proximity"

2. As first Context, select "State", then "Sensor", then "Proximity Sensor" and click the check mark.

3. Create a new task "Proximity On"

4. Add an action by clicking the +, then select "Variable", then "Variable Set"

5. Name it "%Prox" (It is important to use at least one capital letter, so it is available globally)

6. In the field "To", write "On" (without the quotes)

7. Click your way out with the check marks

8. Long click the Proximity On task and select "Add Exit Task"

9. Repeat steps 3 through 7, but name the task "Proximity Off" and set in the field "To", write "Off"

10. Have a look at the screenshots to make sure you are good to go. Drag down the notification bar and cover the proximity sensor to see if the profile "Proximity" can be activated and deactivated.

Creating the Ambient Light Sensor Profile

1. Create a new Profile "Light Sensor"

2. As first Context, select "State", then "Sensor", then "Light Level" and select from 0 to 20 (or customize it to another number, needs testing).

3. Create a new task "Dark"

4. Add an action by clicking the +, then select "Variable", then "Variable Set"

5. Name it "%Dark" (It is important to use at least one capital letter, so it is available globally)

6. In the field "To", write "True" (without the quotes).

7. Click your way out with the check marks

8. Long click the Dark task and select "Add Exit Task"

9. Repeat steps 3 through 7, but name the task "Not Dark" and set in the field "To", write "False"

10. Have a look at the screenshots to check.

Integrating with your existing profile

1. Go to your "Call Whatsapp" profile

2. Click the "Call" task, and click the +

3. Select "Task" and click "Wait Until"

4. Select 1 ms waiting time (necessary)

5. Scroll down to the "Until" field. In the left box, select "%Prox", in the right field, write "On" and make sure, there is a tilde (~) in between.

6. Create another "Wait Until" Task with the Variable "%Dark" and "True"

7. Make sure, these two tasks are first in list, before the key combination macro. You can move them by long clicking, "Cut" and clicking the first action and "Paste"

8. Look at the screenshot.

P.S. I could not get the light sensor to work properly, I had to remove the action and deactivate the profile in my configuration. If someone with an AOSP rom could test, if they get the light sensor to work, please let me know, how.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Chef_Tony:
Other Messaging Clients:

AOSP/AOKP Messaging (Android 4.0.4)

If you have an AOSP/AOKP Rom, chances are, your messaging client looks like this:

In that case, your profile should be set up to look like this:

Unfortunately, this only works in the overview of the messages. If you are currently composing a new message and have already put in some text, the "dpad right" action will bring you to the send button. If somebody has found a general solution that works in all contexts, please let me know and I will modify this post.

If this varies from Gingerbread, please let me know. As Siyah can only dual boot ICS roms, I cannot test Android 2.3.x Roms.

Stock Samsung Messaging (Android 4.0.3)

If you are running a Samsung Stock Rom or any custom Rom based on a Samsung Stock Rom, you Messaging Client probably looks like this:

In that Case, your profile has to look like this:

Notice that the Down button is pressed twice!

If this varies from Gingerbread, please let me know. As Siyah can only dual boot ICS roms, I cannot test Android 2.3.x Roms.

Handcent SMS

Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to integrate Handcent SMS in Tasker. This is due to the fact that in Handcent you can only access the Call button by touch screen and not through key combinations and Tasker is unable to simulate Touch Screen presses. But fortunately there is a direct Call button in every messaging window in Handcent, so you could simply press that. ;)

To Do List:

- Guide for SMS apps (Stock / AOSP) done

- Get the Ambient Light Sensor to work properly

- Maybe integration for Email, Gmail, Social Hub

- Whatever else someone can come up with. Please report your messaging client you want to be explained here.

IT WORKS!!!!!

I might have to set the pickup gesture a little bit better to suit my style, BUT IT WORKS!!! It's amazing thanks for the great contribution!

(had never used tasker before, wow it's cool but still dont know how to work it well)

http://profileify.com/2010/12/06/automatically-change-android-screen-brightness-by-application/

could this profile (maybe tweaked a little) work as a smart stay alternative?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sam5154:
thats great man it works,

though I have 2 questions:

!. How should I tell it to just luanch this task in messaging?

2. Tasker can't read outputs from proximity sensor?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] o_tiger:
Cool! More! Two thumbs up!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Chef_Tony:
tasker can read the proximity sensor, and i am currently working on integrating it.

i got as far as the task only starting, when the phone is up to your face, it still needs minor tweaking, then i will post it tomorrow.

currently, the problem is, if the task only starts when you have the phone at your face, there is also the risk of touching the (still on) display with your cheek and then it might interrupt the key macro with unwanted touchscreen presses.

to use this in messaging, make a second profile with the same gesture, add messaging as context and use another key combination.

you see, what this does is, press menu, then up, then down, then confirm, because that is how you would get to the "call" button in whatsapp without using the touchscreen. the button combination for messaging is different, as call is not in the menu, but a button on screen. also the button's position varies from rom to rom. as i wrote before, since i have this phone and whatsapp i have not written any sms anymore (they are pretty expensive in germany, while mobile internet is free).

we can certainly work this out though.

and i was thinking about smart stay as well, however, even if one gets the front view camera to work, i don't see how it would be possible to match up with open eyes in tasker. if anyone has an idea, please share.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] smwswk:
This is a good idea on each phone to make it achieve the“Direct Call”，but i try in the SMS【samsung self】，don't need up 1time and down 1time，only down 1time is okay.

I find if make a profile is not enough，because the left hand and right hand are different，so i make two profiles，now，my Gnote more like S3.

Thank you again，and sorry for my pool english.

if possible，please add the tips about “hand problem”:p
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] D3_:
Thanks for this tutorial, I think it's a great idea.

I modified it a little to work with the AOSP/AOKP messaging app with the "call" button on-screen rather than in a menu, all you have to do is set it to do just a "dpad right" and then "dpad press" action, rather than the menu, up, down, press actions.

I also added a short vibration to the end so I know if it's calling when I have it up to my ear.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Chef_Tony:
that is great. mind creating a screenshot of your profile?

EDIT: Updated the 2nd and 3rd post with a tutorial for the sensors.

EDIT2: just tested with a bluetooth keyboard. indeed, the aosp messaging macro is "right" then "press". can someone confirm whether the same keys work on samsung stock roms?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DONNY TRUMP:
Hey this is great. but I would only need it for SMS plus, I have no idea what Tasker is lol or how to use it. Please let me know when you've updated to work with SMS or if you can tell me how :) awesome work though.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Bloodyhero:
How can I make it works with Stock SMS app and phone app?

I know, i'm a noob, but i never used to create any scripts in tasker
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sikuland:
Hi,

thanks for this tip but that is possible with Handcent SMS ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Chef_Tony:
this is generally possible with all messaging clients, i will add simple screenshots of profiles for AOSP and stock samsung sms.

if you are using a 3rd party app like handcent, you can easily find out the key combination for yourself. look for the call feature in an active message. you can use a keyboard with arrow keys, a bluetooth or usb keyboard and simply try and control the device without touchscreen.

EDIT: by the way, it is not often, that i miss the old windows mobile days, but with a green and red call button in the standard repartoire, it would be way easier to do this, you'd just assign the gesture to the green call button and you're good to go. unfortunately, hardware calling buttons are not standard in android and so it looks like it is not possible like that, or am i mistaking? i know there also is a call button on some phones and tasker can actually use its virtual keyboard to press said call and end call buttons, but it would only bring up the phone app, not call the current contact.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DONNY TRUMP:
On both Handcent and stock SMS, the call button/feature is an on screen button that isnt accessed though the menu. tried the onscreen arrows and those just allow you to scroll through the texts. Not sure if this helps lol :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Chef_Tony:
yes, indeed that was helpful, yet too late ;)

i already tested handcent tonight and indeed, it cannot be done.

let me elaborate on that:

tasker cannot virtually use the touch screen, as that would be a major security issue and would not be allowed in android (according to the developer) and although i tested extensively i was not able to get to the call button using only keyboard buttons.

stock sms, however, at least on 4.0.3, can be done through the keyboard. the combination is menu, dpad up, dpad up, dpad press, so just one key off my initial description for whatsapp. i hope this information is enough for most people to be able to create such a profile, as unfortunately, i currently don't have the time to create the templates for screenshots, it might actually take a day or two.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DONNY TRUMP:
I will try that out and let you know my results. Thanks again.

Edit: Ok, seeing as im on 4.0.4, the combinations for 4.0.3 didnt work. BUT, and a small but, since the "call/phone" icon is at the top, if you change combination to, dpad up, type(enter 1 letter here, any letter), then dpad up but set repeat times to 10, then dpad press. This will highlight your previous sms and then scroll up. This was the only way i found it to work. The thing is, you have to set your text message limit to 10 TOTAL including mms limit. Now, it still works if you want to set your text limit to 100 (for example) but you would have to copy and paste the dpad up repeat times to 10, 10 times to give you a total of 100 "ups" This takes way to long and defeats the purpose. Like I said earlier, I have never played with Tasker or anything like this before so this is what I found. If there was a way to "jump to top" after hitting dpad up x 1, type letter, then this would eliminate every text limit and extra dpad ups. Anyway, I might be doing something wrong all together cause I cant imagine that the stock sms app has changed much from 4.0.3 its just that when i press menu and try hitting up, it takes the menu away. lol it seems like I made a mess.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Chef_Tony:
if you are on 4.0.4, it means you are using an aosp/aokp rom, and assuming you have stock messaging (in this case by stock i mean google, my previous statements about stock were samsung), you can simply use "dpad right" and "dpad press" as posted in#9 and tested and confirmed by myself. i would have never guessed that one though ;)

i usually use 4.0.4 myself, f1 galaxy nexus in fact, but i am dual booting it with the latest samsung rom, which i used to test the samsung stock messaging earlier, which has the double dpad down.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DONNY TRUMP:
I dunno, I give up lol This was interesting at least. I'm sure someone will figure out how to do it the right way. Also, hope to see "palm swipe" feature also. That'd be fun.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Khyrdantai:
My Prime has been less than what I expect of it, the browser is really awful at times. It's useable, but that's it. It crashes far too often (both on .21 and .28) even after doing a factory reset (on both versions). Also random reboots if something unexpected happens.

I don't need to RMA my Prime for these issues because as far as I'm aware, this is normal behavior and is a software issue.

However, I can't even RMA if I wanted to. A while ago my sister pushed my tablet off my dresser, causing it to hit the corner and make a nice dent on it. So I'm going to assume that ASUS will mark my tablet as CID when I send it in. (Sister has mental health problems, for those who would ask.) If anyone is even reading this far into this, would ASUS still RMA my tablet? Or am I just screwed?

Question for the unlockers who didn't want to read all of that.

Does unlocking the Prime and installing a different ROM and using the custom build.prop and other tweaks solve all the problems that the Prime has with the browser and overall usability? Does this make it smoother and faster?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cam30era:
I don't know is it solves" all" the problems, but if you choose the right ROM it is very smooth and solve the browser crash problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Khyrdantai:
By "all" problems, I absolutely mean software related. I'm mainly concerned for the browser crashing/lagging/stuttering, since it's the most used app on my Prime. The UI in general is smooth, but sometimes it hangs from the Play Store and other background processes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
i think unlocking can help, but it's a risk and a very hard decision.. if you happen to unlock, i can recommend this ROM, smooth as silk...

if you're rooted, search up Browser2Ram for the TF201.

It works only for stock browser, but I can guarantee that it almost 100% gives you what browsing should feel like with almost no stuttering or any force close.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaycustom:
99% of the problems you stated will disappear if you load the right ROM. As skarfreak stated in post 4, go with Androwook. I have tried ALL other ROMs, and is is the best all around. I actually went back to using the stock browser now. Since you cannot RMA, you might as well take it into your own hands to make your device better.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Khyrdantai:
Alright, thanks! Seems like the best choice to go with. It really sucks that a $650 device isn't as premium as the price tells me it should be, but neither was my phone until I installed a custom ROM.

It pains me to say this, but Android device manufacturers need to step up the quality.
