I love Tasker. And i mean love tasker!!! I would like to start a discussion on these setups and cool things to do with Tasker. More people need to buy it!!!!!!!

My personal favorite Profile is one i have setup for a received text with "gpson" in the message. It enables gps and starts polling where the device is going and replies with coordinates every 3 minutes to sender of last text. I use this just in case my phone gets lost or stolen. I keep it pretty stealth as well. It turns off all systems volume to make sure the robber wont hear it. Once again, i Love Tasker and please share your opinions. Post questions, anyone would be happy to help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
I tried helping someone or a few weeks ago who wanted the screen to turn on when a kik message appeared, but I'm horrible at tasker. Could you look through the thread and tell me what might have worked better for it?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
I'm not so great either, but I can take a look at it :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
That is exactly what I would do.

Create Profile>Event>UI> Notification>(pick kik app)

After that add the task you mentioned about turning screen on through secure settings to the profile :). That should work assuming a notification is received when a kik message is received

(TASKER MUST BE ENABLED AT ACCESSIBILITY SETTINGS)

Just tested this with messaging app and it worked perfectly. Leave "Title' blank when choosing app/apps

Is there a reason it says no active profiles?

Sent from my SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Let us know? It just means no conditions are met to activate a profile. Once you get a kik message after setting this up it should change briefly to something like active profiles I think. Im not sure

Sweet, I'm glad it worked. That was my first foray into the world of Tasker.

Back to the original thread topic: What are some things that you think people might want to see come from Tasker?

One of my biggest blocks in using it effectively is that I don't even know where to begin. I could set it up to automatically turn on wifi when I get home, but it's really not that big of a deal for me to just hit a toggle on the notification panel (same thing with using NFC tags, for me at least). I do like the lost phone texting option, but I haven't lost a phone (or gotten it stolen) in the last 10+ years of having a cell phone.

Maybe I'm just simple in my needs/wants from a cell phone, but I just don't know what type of Tasker automation I'd use regularly. Any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Its rare that phones get stolen from geeks like us but I just have it just in case one of my buddies pull a trick or something. Its good to have just in case. However, misplacing it happens quite often for me at least. So I created a profile to listen for "ringplease" and it turns on the screen and unlocks it, then turns media volume all the way up and plays a song of my choice (No Worries by Lil Wayne) lol

Very very simple, but effective for me at least

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
That's a good idea, I typically leave my phone on silent (don't want it ringing loudly while at work). When the phone is between the couch cushions, I can't just ring it and listen for it. If I have a text code I can send, I can have it turn the volume all the way up and blast "call me maybe" (as a joke, of course). I just can't give that code to my friends, or else they'll send me that code when I'm in a meeting at work, haha.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Exactly!!! I also have one where when I put it in my pocket (upside down) and if the screen is on, it turns off. That one is one of my favorites!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
I feel that Tasker is a bit under rated. People just don't realltly take the time to learn how to use it. Its so powerful!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sean09:
I think a lot more people would use tasker if the xml files were made more centralized and available for the general user. I myself was struggling, but have it doing a few nifty things.

1) turn on wifi when near my local (home) cell tower.

2) disable wifi when no connection established for 20 seconds

3) enable screen rotate in certain apps (since I like mine in portrait normally).

4) enable bluetooth when docked in the car and disable after disconnecting

5) turn off all sound when sitting on my qi charger

6) allow calls from certain people even in silent mode (ie emergency calls from family)

7) play unique ringtone for people not in my contact list
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Haha, I just use Where's My Droid, it has the built-in ringing functionality where you can text it a codeword if you misplace it / lose it, and its also great for when you ACTUALLY lose it lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
But this is waaaaayyyy cooler ;) it took me weeks to figure it out to. Lol. The GPS thing. Cause I never found a ROM that allowed it without using secure settings! Until this week!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] muppetman462:
God, I wish I could figure out how to do this. I would buy the app for my wife (who constantly misplaces her phone).

I have tasker, and I use it to "clock" in and out of work. I have it save the time stamp to my work calendar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
I can post screenies of the profile/tasks you need :). Just tell me which one!

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pride_kr:
Helllo guys.

I´ve just got a Razr i, and I am trying to receive apk files via bluetooth from another device.

But as all you know it gives error, probably some kind of security to avoid piracy.

I have searched the net, but I didn´t find any solution other than rename the file as .zip for example.

My question is: Is there any way to receive apk files via bluetooth without renaming the apk file?

If I root and unlock its bootloader, is there any mod or a custom rom that could make it possible?

Thanx in advance!:confused:
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marco Lomas:
Just use a file manager app, like Astro file manager or my favorite Root Explorer, i used to send apks every day :D

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pride_kr:
So... is it right to say that the razr I stock file manager that does not accept apk files? Does both devices need to have astro file manager installed?

Thanxxx
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marco Lomas:
With the stock file manager? Nop you cant, well i think so i dont use it,

And no, only the sender of the apk has to have Astro installed :)

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pride_kr:
Tried root explorer without success... still the same problem.... :(
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilbus:
just change the file extension before sending the apk via bluetooth, example.apk -> example.txt :)

when received just change it back and there you are ;)
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pride_kr:
well, thats the question since the beginning m8

if there is a method to transfer apk files without renaming it on bluetooth

already tried others file managers, and bluetooth file transfers without success

What is the best way to set a Hotmail account through Inbox ?

I installed Pocket Hotmail but, after I create a new account in Inbox using Hotmail, this account does not show up with the other Accounts.

Moreover, if I go to my Hotmail account using PIE (msn.com), I can read my received messages but NOT the attachments, whether they are standard pictures or Word documents or whatever.

Any clue ?

Try installing the Windows Mobile 2003 patch.

Its available at: http://www.frieger.com/photmail/wm2003.html

With this latest beta version, I found the account I created, but the inbox showed empty (although, actually, it was not).

HTTPMAIL

i just downloaded that free trail programm.

now the following problem,

I can I ensure that Hotmail dails internet, and my normal work mail (pop3) dails another number (as set up under conncetions).

As i believe mail can only dail one number.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Qman:
Re: HTTPMAIL

You've lost me on the dialing, confirming you're connecting via GPRS, right?

If so why are you using (2) different connections?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] lummac:
no Gprs

I use internet trough a dail-up connection

and i retrieve e-mails trough a pop3 server (work)

And now i want to have one e-mail account calling work, and the other internet

Dailing problems solved

Ok solved the dialing problem

So it is calling internet, but now some other problems, like not known protocoll.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Qman:
Re: Dialing problems solved

Strange, confirming that you have hotmail set as your "Domain" in your Inbox settings and "HTTP" selected as your Account Type?

If so try doing a soft reset and see if that helps!

Thats good news on the bluetooth connection, thanks!

BTW just checked my online sub-folders and they're empty too, so go figure! :wink:

But here's a long-shot, while at your Hotmail Inbox, go to Tools, Manage Folders and check the folder that you want synchronized. Let use know how this works out!

Also it would be nice if you deleted your duplicated postings, it appears that your send key may have got stuck! :D

HTH
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] lummac:
I know that problem don't can be fixed

I had the same problem, until in noticed i didn´t do two things,

first click all the folders zou want to synchronize

secondly on the same screen, click options, and select what you want to download from the dropdown list, and how much k

So go to inbox from hotmail, click extra, select folder, check the ones you want, extra - options. etc and then synchronize.

it works for me
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Qman:
Re: I know that problem don't can be fixed

So confiming that Tools, Manage Folders has been changed to "Extra, Select folder" on the XDA II?

Sorry about the late reply but I've been really.. really busy lately and I mean busy (been doing all kinds of repairs/upgrades on PC's, XDA's PPC's etc.. its not easy being the town wonder boy if you know what I mean it has gotten so bad that I had to shut down MSN Messenger).

FYI most locals find me though http://www.lvpcug.org look under

Special Interest Group, Pocket PC.

As far as the Hotmail step-by-step goes:

After you installed HTTPMail goto:

Inbox, Accounts, New Account...,

enter your complete Hotmail email address, then next, skip, then enter your User information, next, Under Account type select "HTTP" from the drop down menu, as for the "Name" of the account I just use Hotmail, next,

Incoming mail use: hotmail

Outgoing mail you can use : hotmail or your network's SMTP server

in our case use myemail.t-mobile.com

Domain use: hotmail

Finish

As far as MMS goes you must have a MMS account as for me I haven't

had that problem after adding MMS.

I don't have any problem for the attachments (although I don't use much my msn address).

Did you enter the settings correctly in your HTTPMail Provider, choosing HTTP as account type and:

msn or hotmail for incoming mail

www.msn.com or www.hotmail.com for domain

your network provider smtp for outgoing mail

Did you mention any specific location for the attachments ?

Do you "mark for download" then tap on "send and receive mail" ?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] j_metselaars:
Re: No problem

I did not specify a domain, but that can't be it?! Or can it!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] totallytechie:
I think you may be on a hiding to nothing.

I created a new Hotmail account recently and discovered that I cant set Outlook Express on my laptop to pick it up. It seems that access to Hotmail accounts using an offline reader (like OE) is becoming a subscription-only feature.

My old account still works ok, but after a little investigation I found that this is only for a limited time; eventually I won't be able to use that one with OE either.

If HTTPmail works on the same principle as Outlook Express does, then even if you get it working it may not be for long.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jonny4:
So today I had my Phone sitting in my cup holder that is in front of an ac vent. While in the cup holder in just went dead, it was fully charged and it is stock. I had cranked the ac pretty low and forgot, about 70 degrees. I tried to reboot after I noticed it was off and it wouldn't come back on with a quick power button push. I then tried a long power button push and got nothing. I then put it on a charger thinking that might work and again nothing. So I then i tried a hard button push again and started looping the LG logo but still wouldn't come on. I finally tried holding both volume buttons and the power and after a good 30 seconds it booted up and went back to normal and hasn't done it since. Now I have heard of phones getting too hot but is it possible the phone shut down because it got too cold?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ssuluh:
Just my experience messing with Li-ion or Li-po battery in the RC world, they are sensitive to temperature, which is what this cell phone battery is made of. But 70 deg typically is not going to matter much. But then you said it's by air vent and the ac air vent is blowing air significantly low, since I'm not sure what's your vent temperature is, but in general voltage on the battery drops as temperature goes down. So it's possible when you're trying to power it on, system doesn't think you have enough power and when you finally holding it in your hand, it slowly comes back to room temperature (and your body heat transfer speed it up) then the voltage is restored then phone boot as normal.

[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
What is the difference between a System wipe and. a factory reset. Doesn't Factory wipe the internal sd card clean and that is why we do Titanium Backup of our apps and store them on the external sd card? Will a system wipe require we do the same thing ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Factory reset - wipe all user download apps, reset (clear app data/cache) for all system apps. You will boot to a factory setup.

System wipe, you delete all the system apps the result is you have NO O/S to boot to. Twrp will alerts you that you have no O/S.

If you backup your system apps or user apps with Titanium, it will save you time to update. All system apps come with the rom but outdated, so once they installed, you need to update them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
TiBu offers as an option to do a system apps backup. Could those be used to replace the OS? I know a nanroid back up does this but I am curious about how everything works together. :cyclops:
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
No, the O/S contained a lot more than just system apps, like Kernel, bootloader etc.. nandroid can backup all these, but not Tibu. Tibu only backing up system apps. You need the OS to install Tibu in order to restore system apps.

Edit: Tibu has an option to backup all system/user apps as a zip file and this file can be flash using twrp, but only apps, no O/S.(kernel, bootloader).
