[Samsung Galaxy Gear] st-tps:
I´we noticed that when I have the bluetooth tether connected all the time, my Note 3 drains battery in high grade.

Your widget/app works fine to enable bt tether but I dislike the idea of doing it manually when I need internet connection.

So I have a Request:

Is it possible to add a setting that automatically enables bt tether after an set amount of time from that the screen is turned on?

Not straight away when it turns on since I don´t need internet access when I only turn on the Gear for a short time watching the clock for example.

And it ofcourse needs to turn the bt tether off again when the screen goes off.

Is this possible to do? Or does anyone have another idea of how doing this automatic?

Thanks for a great app btw!

tasker intent plugin

This could be done with Tasker Intents, or with Tasker Secure Settings but only IF the app/widget allows the Intent to toggle the connection.

I tried but it seems the intent was not there in Secure Settings.

I will look at the manifest file and see if the Intent "allow toggling" can be called from Tasker Intent plugin
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] st-tps:
Yeah I thought so to, but it would be nice to have it included in the app.

A question about Tasker, I own the Direct Download-version of Tasker and use it on my Note 3, is it possible to use the same license on my Gear or am I forced to but another licence for every device?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] myspac:
Yes, I will see what I can do to include this option inside the app. and include a retry/auto too for disconnections..

(with tasker, I must try the app before to understand how it works; no information about: what I must add in the manifest file ?)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] st-tps:
I´m looking forward to it..:victory:

:good:

Thanks again!

Code is ready, I test it today before to push into playstore.

So you can select "Manual" or the "time" interval to connect, and, select "unlimited" or the "time" interval for disconnection.

Examples:

1/ connect every 5 minutes during 1 minutes.

or

2/ connect every 5 minutes during unlimited (= auto connect every 5 minutes)

or

3/ connect manual and auto disconnect after 2 minutes
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] st-tps:
Looks nice, does this include some connection to "screen on" or just regular timer?

What I´m looking for is:

IF Screen is On for 10sec THEN Toggle Tether On,

IF Screen is Off THEN Disconnect Tether.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kashortiexda:
tasker

That's why I am trying to get Tasker to achieve this.

I have tried using a send Intent message, no luck yet.

I decompiled the app to try using the Intent Actions from the Manifest file, but I haven't been able to achieve this.

I have asked the dev by PM what the intent is to toggle the bluetooth widget, still waiting for a reply.............
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] myspac:
This is not a aproblem, I will set in the selections "screen on" and "screen off" instead of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] st-tps:
Thats great, will try and return with feedback :)

When can we expect the updated version on Play?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kashortiexda:
thanks, can you do screen on/off AND time as a third option ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] myspac:
After some tests, disconnect with screen off is very usefull.

But, connect after screen on and 10sec => it's too long to wait...

So , with screen options, toggle is still actif.

I must work on my code and test more different combinations (screen, toggle, time/auto) before to push to playstore...

(Someone knows how to change the color of the text of a spinner ? (the text of my spinner is black and background color is black too ! only during the selection, the background is not black)..)

Sorry for Tasker: I don't have time to look at.. after as I said..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kashortiexda:
how's the testing going? Never mind tasker, there is a thread on it already and it's working great
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] myspac:
Ok,the app works fine but timer stops after some hours ! Agggrrr, I must find why ! Perhaps I must use Service, and not just a thread... (i m new on Android!)

my phone sucks and my carrier has taken the option of Bluetooth tethering away. Am I able to use this widgets with pdanet as I believe that will allow me to connect to the internet on my stock TouchWiz rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] myspac:
Same problem today, but it is not my carrier, I think it is the last kitkat update on my S4 yesterday.... Widget and bluetooth communication works but no internet ...

My widget doesńt work with pdanet.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] heat22:
I've installed this twice on my gear with null_23 rom and it does not work. I click the widget and it stays blue. I click the settings link within the app and nothing happens. Bluetooth tethering is checked and turned on, on my phone. Help? Tired of manually going into settings to turn it on..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] myspac:
Hello,

1/ you speak about null_23 rom , it works before with a previews version or never ?

2/ In the app, do you see your remote device ?

3/ if you see it, is the checkbox checked on the left of your remote device ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] heat22:
Thanks for the response, just got my gear and null_23 has been my first and only rom installed. Yes I see my remote device (gt-n7000) note 1 and yes there is a check beside it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] myspac:
Please confirm: if you use the Android Settings of the null_23 rom, you get to connect to internet by tethering through your gt-n7000 ? it works manually before to use the widget ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] heat22:
Yes it tethers fine manually. When I click the widget, it just flashes yellow for like a micro second then goes back blue.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] myspac:
Ok,

- Is your wifi is off on your remote device ?

- If you know how to do logcat command, send me the result.

HowTo:

find adb.exe on your PC computer

open a dos command windows (Start->"Run ..."-> cmd)

goto the path of adb.exe (with the "cd <path folder>" command)

type commands:

> adb shell

> logcat
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] heat22:
tried to run the adb command while within twrp recovery but could not get my tablet to find my device(gear). I'm out of town on business so no access to my main computer to get you the logcat info. Will try when I get home April 1. I see an alternative on the market called Bluetooth Tethering Switcher that I'm tempted to try but it costs 3 bucks. Will be heated if it doesn't work either.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mortenmoulder:
PERFECT. This was just something I needed. But holy damn it's an ugly widget.. I wish you could change that a bit :p

For the people who don't know how to do this:

Install it on your Gear

Open the app.

Select your phone.

Take your phone and use the Gear Manager to add the app to the browsing area (where your apps are).

Press the widget to turn tethering off and on.

Thanks a bunch for this!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] myspac:
Thank you for your PERFECT and your small doc.. for the "But holy damn it's an ugly widget": have you any suggestions ? (you are right, I m not at all a designer !!)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] crutzulee:
Unfortunately, I too have been unable to get this to work with Null_23. The app installs, I can confirm that my paired phone shows up and is ticked in the settings. The colour on the widget changes to reflect when I am tethered and when I am disconnected. However I cannot affect this change with the widget. Which is really the important part!

Would love to get this working. Would pay to have the feature automated with screen on/off.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] myspac:
Hello,

Can you send me the log wiht logcat command to be able to debug your problem ? (I have Null_23 without any problem)

Thks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] crutzulee:
Update...I have it working now! When I first installed the app, it automatically had my phone listed and selected...I then installed the widget, which did not work at first.

After going back into the app settings , unticking an then reticking my phone...bingo!

Thanks for this...I'm hoping that it will help with my battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] heat22:
Worked for me too, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] crutzulee:
Glad to hear it...Now if I read correctly, the dev was working on perhaps a way to have the app toggle tethering automatically when the screen turns on and off....Now THAT would be worth paying for!:good::good::good::good:

Should I unlock my note 2 (I317) in order to flash custom roms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deleted member 3920726:
You don't need to unlock your phone to flash custom roms. You need to root and install a custom recovery.

Also I suggest you read the opening post of the rom you are going to flash to see if there are any specific flashing instructions.

So I charge 2000 Mah battery over charger, take original from phone when ran out and put it in charger, Then put 2000 MaH battery in phone and start the phone... and doing that over and over... Can something get wrong with phone by doing that? Can something get wrong with calibration...?

P.S: the 3rd screenshot is from nfs most wanted i think this one looks better than other games

Hm. Check the 4x option as well and see if it helps. I've never had the need to use it though. Can you describe what phone model and ROM you are using and the kernel (if you used a custom one).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Damianboy:
It didn help alot a little bit but you van hardly see the difference. Roms i used were cm10 i rhink but after that i switched to stock google play edition 4.3 jb, and after that i came back to stuck. Which all was a pain in the ass. Because my EFS partition was corrupted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
Just curious, did you do a clean ROM install or dirty? And damn, that is why you always keep a nandroid backup on hand or atleast use EFS Pro to keep a copy of your /efs folder!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Damianboy:

Yea that's what i had, i had a nandroid backup and what do you mean by clean or dirty i just flashed the srock rom not a modified one through odin. And rooted it after.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Android_Monsters:
Clean requires you to data wipe when flashing. Dirty is no data wipe and hoping for the best.

I have recently installed the GE 4.4.1 rom. Everything has performed better than I anticipated until today. I can now download apps from Google play but I can no longer install them. After the download is complete, the app lingers indefinitely on "installing". When I check the status of the app after a reboot, it still says installing but never does. Any ideas? Thank you for your time and support.

so your desire s is s-on unlock.

the steps are

1. full wipe except sd card

3. flash gapps

4. optional - flash beats and fix permission (u dont have to do this unless you want to,i usually just skip this,my mp3 are low in quality and my headphones are cheap)

5. reboot into fastboot - flash boot.img

6. reboot phone

Can any rom preinstall a file manager app? Some time i just flash the rom without gapps. No file manager app to open my sd card and inner sd card. So i have to flash gapps , download a file manager app(es file manager app,for example), sometime without network, I can not download the app.

1. Wrong section for such a generic question.

2. I believe that CyanogenMod comes with a file explorer (i could be mistaken however as I have not followed CM in quite some time)

You could use an .apk of a file explorer (ES file explorer, ASTRO...) in your SD card, it would solve the problem.

You can also do the same with Flashify app, which allow you to install boot images (boot.img that you can find at the root of your .zip archive) from your android ! ;)

Hi all:

--

I was wondering which BT Stereo Headset [not headphones meaning I can make calls etc] you guys are using with your HTC Wizard or any A2DP device for that matter.

--

My criteria:

1) can be used well with my dopod 838

2) fits well [this is subjective]

3) doesn't move around when I turn my head

4) good battery performance

5) price is not much of an issue

--

I am looking at the following Headsets:

1) Motorola HT820

2) iPhono PLUS BT420Rx

3) iPhono mini BT450Rx

4) iTech S35

5) iTech R35

--

I put the iTech's at 4 and 5 because even if they are BT headsets they still have wires danggling about in other words they are psuedo-wireless :P.

--

So what are your thoughts about these headsets? Any other headsets I should be looking at? Personal experiences, Links to reviews and/or online shops are welcome. Thanks in advance :D

Very decent sound quality (playing music now) I'm test-wearing it now and it's still pretty comfortable after 2 hours use.

There is a very slight hiss, only audible when no sound is playing.

The phone-headset function is not fantastic but people can understand me and i understand them. So what more do i want?

Bought it for playing music anyway.

I'm not really sure what a 8125 is, but if it's a "HTC wizard-device" it should work with the latest rom.

Re: FAO leploep

I have the 450rx and according to the manual there is no way to actually initiate the voice dialing from the headset itself. I havent got the manual with me atm but from memory it said something like: For voice dialing, you must initiate the voice dial function from the handset and then you can talk into the microphone to tell the phone / pda who to call etc.

So, technically it is sort of possible, but i would prefer not to have to press the voice dial button on the K-JAM as it sort of defeats the purpose of using the voice dial function. Even though i have only just got the 450rx (and can't use it as i-mate still hasn't released A2DP) i am already on the lookout for a stereo headset that has PROPER voice dial.

Try these out:

1) Qstarz BH-Q392s

2) Nokia HS-12W

3) Sony HBH-DS970

4) iTech S38

Some of them come with headphone supplied but all allow you to use other standard headphones via 3.5mm connector. Some have extended functionality such as AVRCP but I know iTech do other "Clips" that can accept normal headphones without AVRCP.
