this quick

about an update Google has been working on for a week and released a day or two ago! But no..... a somewhat major software revision has to take 2 months. I realize the fact that it is only a very, very small update, and it doesn't change any major software/radio stuff... but still. You know what would be cool? If verizon pushed out software updates (i.e 4.0.4, 4.1) clean at first, then follow up with a second update on the radios.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbdysreal:
Wierd, even verizons support site doesn't have this update listed. http://support.verizonwireless.com/system_update/galaxynexus.html. Normally they list the update a few days before roll out on that site. Unless they really had to rush to get around the ban. Curious what's in this update, or if its real.

As was mentioned, it is probably the disabling of the "local search" feature of the search bar.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
If anyone else gets the OTA, please post the filename here so I can update randomphantasmagoria.com. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbdysreal:
Yeah, i know thats what it probably is. Verizon just always puts out a pdf on the support sites of their phones no matter how minuscule the update is. Like one that turned off the initial 4g free tethering last year said something like "enables 4g tethering plans" or something like that. Oh you tricky VZ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Definitely very weird that VZW wouldn't have updated the support PDFs. They update those things religiously when there's an OTA.

I hope this IMM76Q update isn't another IMM30B where someone accidentally pushes it to a few devices, shuts it off, and it fades into the ether, leaving anyone who applied the update stranded.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] live4nyy:
Technically, the updates come from Google. Since this update has nothing to do with aspects that would be specific to carrier use they probably didn't involve Verizon in this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
As far as I'm aware, that's not an option. I believe VZW has to test and approve every single OTA that goes out to a phone on their network, regardless of how small or whether there is anything carrier-specific in it.

Apple is the lone exception to this rule. Verizon lets them do whatever the hell they want with the iPhone and iPad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] norm12:
I spoke to a verizon tech rep this week---he said there was an update pending and suggested it was more about a radio fix. However, I'd take that with a grain of salt
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] live4nyy:
That's very unfortunate then.

I have it set to only backup new or updated data so everynight when i charge my phone I just tell it to backup. This keeps me with a redundant copy of my sd card in case something happens.

WORTH EVERY PENNY

I have automated mine to do the following

As soon as I enter my work car park, it drops the volumes, switches off WIFI

I leave my work car park, volume to max,

I enter home, WIFI on, Volume max

after 11pm - 6.30am everything on silent, wifi & data off

then when i scan my NFC tag in the car, switches on GPS, loads co pilot

re-scan tag, turns off GPS and closes co-pilot
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] DanceOff:
Sounds cool

But mine is too extra complicated to share, I now have over 30

But the most i like is nightmode,

It make brightness 10/255 and opens an app screenfilter

It makes brightness extremely low and this all happens from 12am-3 am

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] rickythefox:
Anyone knows what effect this has on battery life?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] DanceOff:
It doesnt waste battery that much, why dont.you try it and see battery stats

IF YOU LIKE MY WORK, THANK ME BY THE BUTTON BELOW
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Was thinking the same. Any partial/wakelock issues caused by the program constantly assessing the environment. As it happens I am thinking of using the program to reduce battery drain and shutting down WiFi when out of range of home networks but if it's negated by the situation above it seems pointless for my needs.

Any one care to comment?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SunjinSak:
I've been using Tasker for a couple of years accross 4 different devices now (X10i, DHD, TF101 and GS3). I have a lot of profiles set up to do various different things and I can honestly say I've never seen a noticeable effect on battery life.

That said though I don't use the GPS location state at all. I imagine that particular state would drain battery pretty quickly. I use the WiFi Near state a lot though and, as I've said, never really noticed a detrimental drain on the battery.

I suppose it depends on what you do with it but overall IMO it's a very well written app. Extremely useful too.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] CervezaPorFavor:
Waiting for app sale. The price is slightly higher than what I'm prepared to spend, especially because there is a free alternative from Microsoft called on{X}: http://techcrunch.com/2012/06/05/onx/
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Yep! This is what I was hoping to use it for too. My betterbatterystats has identified my Wifi as the one real drain on what is still a very good battery life. So although I could turn it off myself I just know I will forget to turn it back on at home and would like a program to do it for me. BUT if one negates the other it's not worth the effort.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SunjinSak:
Well your WiFi has to be on to use the WiFi Near state. You could potentially combine it with a Time state too though. Just for example you could have Tasker turn WiFi on for 1 minute once an hour to check for your network(s) then either turn off again if no network detected or connect and remain on if a network is detected... if that makes any sense!

It would save battery compared to leaving WiFi on all the time.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] T__:
What effect does it have on, I have a task to turn of Wi-Fi during 10am and 1pm; but I try to turn on Wi-Fi during this period. Will it automatically turn it off again, or allow me to continue to use Wi-Fi?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Perfect sense. Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SunjinSak:
It will allow you to continue to use it. That sort of profile works as a toggle based on the time state so at 10am it will turn it off - but only at 10am. If you were to turn it on again straight away it would stay on until you either turn it off manually or another profile kicks in which is set to turn it off again. The same goes for anything else such as ringer/silent/vibrate, mobile data, GPS etc.

@Greedyfly: you're welcome :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Indian_dil:
You guys can try Llama...does the same thing and cost nothing....i am using it for couple of days and it is good.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] wind0zer:
+1

Tasker can do wonders...but it requires you to be some kind of Tasker-scientist to get things done. I recently discovered Llama as well. It's free and simple but capable.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SunjinSak:
Yeah Tasker does have a reasonably steep learning curve admittedly. By no means insurmountable to most though.

I suppose it depends on what/how you want to automate. Tasker is very powerful but not so simple. Llama is free and easier to use but no so powerful.

Both are good automation solutions. Locale is another one to check out.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] tarmacsurfer:
I've been using Tasker for the best part of a year now, awesome piece of software. Negligible impact on battery life and it's astoundingly powerful. A few examples of profiles I currently use - detects headphones/bluetooth headset and reads any text and who sent it, useful when cycling or out on the bike. Disables screen lock when at home, I use the phone as a control for my media centre so it remains unlocked at home and turns the screen on as soon as the handset is picked up, controls a variety of connection states according to location and time.

These are just scratching the surface. On top of this I've had direct dealings with the dev on a couple of occasions, genuinely nice bloke who does his damndest to solve problems as quickly as possible. All in all, this and Titanium backup are by far the two most useful pieces of software I've bought:good:

hey guys, anyone have issues whereby disabling the keyguard isn't really working out? i still get my lockscreen :\
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] titaniac:
There seems to be a lot you can do with it, but I would mostly use it with GPS which if the phone is constantly getting its location to see if it triggers an action, that would really drain the battery. In fact, it prompts you to read a GPS "uses without tears".
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
The keyguard is not your lockscreen.

Change the context to whatever you like. The video shows how to disable pattern lock when connected to any wifi network. You can narrow this down to your home network by specifying the ssid or Mac address of your home wifi network.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Guys,

Can someone with a bit more programming expertise than me have a quick look over the profiles laid out in this link.

http://tasker.wikidot.com/yanawa

I have got this working all fine bar one thing. When I unlock the screen Tasker (I know it's tasker as when disabled it doesn't do this) switches my WiFi on briefly then off again. I know that if I disable profile "WiFi Near A" then it also does not happen.

Can someone please tell me if this is normal given the way the profiles are set up, as it was my understanding that Tasker would only switch WiFi on if I was within my Cell Network, not at all times to check if Wifi Was Near?

Also which profiles do I need to switch on when not in my Cell Network 'A' to ensure Tasker follows the steps to switch 'WiFi Near A' and 'Connected' on when I arrive at home.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
If I say please lots will someone look then. Would like to get an idea before I go home today and re-enter my cell network.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
I have had a quick look and the profiles should work as described.

The wifi near does not depend on cell near to be active. The profile well check both independently. If you would like the wifi near to activate only when in the cell area then you should delete the wifi near context and add as an “if" in the task.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Ok so if I understand you right, Wifi Near and Cell Near are independent therefore they need to be turned on to effectively turn my WiFi on when I get in yes? If I disable one the whole process falls down correct?

But they aren't independent of the 'Wifi Connected' profile as once that is active the other two are disabled.

What I would ultimately like to happen is:

I get within my cell area, the wifi near is activated. If Wifi is near then connect until wifi is no longer near. Then once out of area just go back to scanning for cell towers again thus saving on battery.

Does this make sense?

Also does WiFi become enabled by Tasker when it's scanning? I guess this would explain why it wakes up every time I unlock my keypad yes?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Yes Tasker does enable wifi. Working on a profile for you now. Standby
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
You little legend you. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Ok. Here goes. Import the xml as a project and disable the previous wifi profiles. If it all goes pear shaped then we can just delete this project and we will go back to the drawing board.

Well that didn't work. Give me a sec
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Lol ok. Sat waiting :D

Should be working but balls to them.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Click on the link and you should get an option to use tasker to handle the file.

Click on tasker and then import into tasker as project.

I havent got the time to actually try it but it should work.

You will have to amend some of the info obviously.

1. in the cell network context you will have to scan your cell towers.

(or you can copy over from previous profile.)

2. in the cell task, you will have to enter the mac address of your home network(dont forget the * at beginning and end of mac address) - line number 9

3 .Also clear the wifi connected variable or alternatively switch wifi on and connect manually first time as the task will not execute if the wifi connected is already set to 1.

Good luck!!

http://db.tt/s77X8aKs
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
How on earth do I import a project? I have downloaded the file, renamed it and then allowed Tasker to handle it. Then when I open tasker there is no reference other than those I have already created?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Can you see a home icon in to left corner in profile screen? If yes then long click and import project.

If no, then can you see a faint downward arrow under title bar in middle of screen? Pull it down. And then do above
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Post deleted
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Spot on.

Found it.

I will copy my information across for the cell towers and router ID.

One last question, both tasks are disabled. Shall I enable them both, none or just one?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
download the attachment again as i have changed it.

just enable them both and they should sort themselves out (fingers crossed)

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

Please insert a 10 second wait after enabling wifi in the cell a enter task.

I will update the file above but it will save you the hassle of downloading again.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Ok leaving for home now. Copied the cell towers across. Fingers crossed :)
