Is anyone using Tasker having an issue with location based conditions? It doesn't recognize the new location I'm in and switch profiles until I turn the screen back on, even if I'm there for an hour.

I searched the support forum and other users were able to fox it by changing a setting that was allowing their network connection to sleep while the display is off. Our phones don't have that setting under "Wireless and Networks - Mobile Networks"

You need to set up a profile that triggers when the "off hook" event happens.

I love this app , it is so for the most expensive app I have paid for, but by far does the most coolest things.

So far what I have set up (I have read the wiki allot, most of it I understand,lol)

Maps/nav/gps test/ -GPS on upon opening,disconnect on exit

Rom manager/maps/nav/web-screen timout 23hr on open, 30sec on exit

Bluetooth, on for travel to work and back , time based exit

Sunday Ticket app/Autodrop- wifi on, off at exit

Music on upon headset/speaklers plugged in- exit on unplugged

Video Player - max brightness, back to 0 at exit

Tilt one way upside stopping at side(pause for 1 second) and finish upside down to turn on wifi, turning right to upside down, (this comes in handy for anything that opens that does not let you have the drop down bar to activate) going to the left and turn it upside down turns off wifi.

Still learning other cool things to do

I still read through wiki to try others,
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PaiPiePia:
Video player have its own brightness value under its settings that is independent from display brightness from the phone's setting menu. Just use that instead. :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mikey98277:
good to know, also just figured out that I can launch apps for each Bluetooth, what I mean by that is, the Bluetooth with my car will launch vlingo, and my HP Bluetooth headset launches Pandora(headset I use for yard work when I dont want to have wires in my way) So you can make them independent, not just any Bluetooth you can have something happen for each connection, or a third to affect all. I am not convinced that this is the best Android app for rooted phones. Takes smartphone to a whole new Level!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ags29:
I have the usual:

Wifi - on at home/off away from home

Maps - gps on/off

Browser - orientation on/off

Locate phone via sms

& rescan the SD card after exiting the Camera app (since the Vibrant apparently doesn't automatically do this) while simultaneously loading the Gallery

Gimme some cool new ones ppl!

Currious how do you have yours set up on Wifi for the house, i have mine by triangulation and it works about 60% of the time. Some times i show up at work and its attempting to connect to the work wifi that i only want to use when 3g is down.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mikey98277:
Ok, added a few more

I text "find phone" to my phone, it puts media vol to max and plays a song so I can find it if i lost it around my house.

If I text "turn GPS on" it turns on the GPS, so I will be able to use other apps to locate my phone if needed.

Made screen go to max brightness when ringing to better get my attention, then back to minimum at end

Set up auto texts to people on there birthday(or other days) so it will look as I never forget anything
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] moonrock:
howd you do the find phone one?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ags29:
talltexan: I'm using "wifi near". It'll let u pick ur network and then whenever ur not on it, it will be constantly searching for it and connect to it when it finds it. This way it will only connect to the network u specify. Also, u can adjust how frequently u want it to scan/search for ur network when ur not connected to it by going to "preferences> wifi scan secs" and adjusting it there. I also set up a "wifi connected> exit task: wifi off". Basically when u are out of range from ur network (ie. leave it house), it will automatically turn wifi off to save battery.

New one! I just eliminated the need for a note/to-do list widget I had. I set up a notification to stay in my notification bar that says basically "buy paper towels, new keyboard, etc." and when I click on it, it goes away.

Notification Click> Alerts> Notify
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] talltexan:
Ill have to mess with it, i want it to save my password for my work Wifi but dont want it to connect (they filter service to slacker radio and youtube) however on times when i need to connect i want to be able to.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] moonrock:
If when you leave your house, wifi turns off, how does it then repeat the task of searching for your home network to connect to it and perform those tasks?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ags29:
If it isn't connected it will constantly be searching to connect basically. It sounds like a battery killer really but I haven't seen any impact on mine really. In the app preferences also, u can specify how often u want it to search for ur wifi network if ur not connected to it. Honestly, u just have to play with the app and see what works for u.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] moonrock:
I did the find phone one then realized that there is no 'battery button' to turn the music off. What function are you doing to stop the music? :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mikey98277:
Sorry, didnt check back here until now, I at first had the same problem, but in the post it says to make one to push the camera button to kill, but since we dont have one(and what if i was listening to music while taking pictures?), I did the same steps as that but made it so I would work on another text, so i set it up when I texted "stop find" to my phone it would kill the music. you can make it so you can text anything, but i figured the chances of someone texting me the words "stop find" by its self is about 1 in a trillion. I also considered using the gestures and setting it up by moving my phone a certain way, but if i was actually listening to music and moved it by accident it would kill music, so I went with another text option.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] moonrock:
Ah, very good idea! perfect. thank you!

Does anyone know if i can copy notifications and paste it into an email? Or otherwise, turn any notification into an automatically generated email with contents of that notification?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Arr MiHardies:
I haver one that sets volume to max and plays music when I text it "beep phone"

I haver one that turns on gps, gets a lock, and replies with the google map link to the coordinates when I text it "find phone"

I have one that turns on silent, turns off vibrate, and sets system volume to 0 between 11 pm and 8 am, when charging, and when lying face up so that soups better full message doesn't wake me up.

I have one that sets they phone to silent when I'm in church on sundays

And I haver one that sets brightness to minimum when I unlock the phone (saves a lot of battery)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mikey98277:
you are in a vibrant forum, last time I looked my vibrant doesnt have a slide out keyboard, so i am a little confused, you may want to check the forum for you phone, as we cannot do that option as we dont have the keyboard, I am sure you can there are many options, but I couldnt test it out since I dont have a keyboard, you may want to try the wiki for it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] courtmagician:
Can't be done yet. Not sure if there are plans for it, though, check the dev's site and his to do list.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ftj2006:
What you could do is set a variable when the find phone is activated... only when that variable is true, will the camera (or any other) button stop music and reset the variable, that way it wont affect normal music

What i did though was display a notification, then added a notification click task to stop the music
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mikey98277:
Could you post how you set the notification,(along with how to have it end with a click in the notification) I have not tried that yet, or is there a link that you found those directions with? I know how to make a pop up, but can figure out how to make it stop the music
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] skulk3r:
I think the best way to get around this is to use the cell-tower to turn on wifi-near since cell-tower search is much less battery intensive that wifi-search.

Does anyone know how to allow the phone to search for wifi networks ONLY when it is in a certain cell-tower range?

EDIT: Okay, I think I found the way to do this - hopefully it saves some battery.

When you select the activity "Wifi", you get certain options:

1) Off - Turns it completely off

2) On - Turns it on and searches

3) Toggle - Turns it on periodically (according to the settings you put in Menu > Preferences > Monitor)

We are interested in 3) since this lets Tasker search for wifi without actually having it turned on all the time.

So in order to do this, I do this:

Profile: "Home"

Context: Cell Near (set as a cell tower near your house/work/etc)

Activity:

- Set Variable "HOME" = 1

- "Wifi" [Toggle]

Exit Activity:

- Set Variable "HOME" = [0]

- "Wifi" [Off]

Profile: "Wifi at home"

Context:

- Variable "HOME" [matches 1]

- Wifi-near [my wifi network]

Activity:

- Wifi [On]

- Mobile Data [Off]

- Mobile APN Enabled [Off]

Exit Activity:

- Wifi [Toggle]

- Mobile Data [On]

- Mobile APN Enabled [On]

the "HOME" profile searches for Cell Towers (which uses less battery) and only enables Wifi-toggling when you are within a certain cell-tower range. It also sets a variable called "HOME" = 1

the "Wifi at home" profile then searches for my wifi network, and connects to it (and disables mobile data). When I leave the range of my wifi network, the wifi goes back into search mode.

once I leave my cell tower range, my wifi goes off.

This SHOULD work, but I haven't fully tested it yet.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] lionhealth:
Hi everybody. I have a problem and need help. I upgraded my phone battery to 20,000mah (galaxy note 9). When I plug my phone in to charge, it only charges about 10,000mah and automatically stops charging (not discharging, it just doesn't charge anymore). For example, plugging in the charger at 30% will stop charging at 80%. (possibly a safety mechanism). (And if I need charge to full, need unplug and plug 2 or 3 times). I want to program my phone when battery at 33% 66% 99% it will automatically stop charging (within 1 second) then charge again. (Switch to discharge then charge again). I have tried using some apps like acca (advantage charging control), it has the feature to pause charging but it is not effective. However if I use the terminal (or an app call disable USB charging) to discharge then charge again it works, just need to make it automatic. Thank you.

None of these 3rd party micro USB cable fits Captivate without physically mod them.
[Captivate Accessories] rob989_69:
True, however they are very easily modded. I just cut mine at an angle with a box cutter. WOrked like a champ.
[Captivate Accessories] YellowGTO:
Yeah I don't mind cutting them. But I heard that the BB microUSB cables fit.
[Captivate Accessories] eatkabab:
more importantly, what do you need 10 wires for?
[Captivate Accessories] YellowGTO:
Because if this is the new standard then friends will be comming over ask to charge there phone or I misplace cables. I swear in the last few years I have like like 20 MiniUSB cables. Or atleast it feels that way.
[Captivate Accessories] SiL3nTKiLL:
why dont they fit? a lil too big?
[Captivate Accessories] sn1per420:
http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-Ca..._1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1280986721&sr=8-1

$1.69 eligible for super saver shipping/2 day shipping with amazon prime, or $1.89 and free shipping with no minimum purchase (click on "26 used and new from $0.01")

Yes, 10 for $12 is cheaper per cable, but this is better if you only want 1 or 2.

Yea, the plastic around the connector is a bit big to fit in the recessed hole on the captivate. Not a problem though, a boxcutter cuts the excess plastic away easily.
[Captivate Accessories] eatkabab:
Monoprice cables are far superior to everything else in terms of value/quality. The wire does in fact work with the captivate, but it doesn't go all the way in.

A minute of course nail file work or a quick swipe of a dull blade to take off the bottom corner will repair that. Super easy to fix and nobody would ever notice.

I think I bought a few gold plated 10' cables with ferrites for around $1.70 ea.

http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5459&seq=1&format=2

Monoprice always delivers top notch quality at less than the absolute lowest price.

Monoprice = pure love.

Or if you wanna be really cheap, you can go with this one. Its as cheap as your ebay crap but no doubt higher quality: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=1030307&p_id=4867&seq=1&format=2#description
[Captivate Accessories] YellowGTO:
Aight well I got my cables. 1st they are legit Black Berry cables or atleast in BB bags. and they fit in the Captivate with no trimming.
[Captivate Accessories] kkeo:
I agree no trimming needed, I used my BB micro usb cables with no issues. The rubber around the connectors on those babies are really large too.

never heard of this site before. thanks for the link. i've always been a newegg guy, guess i might have a new favorite tech supply site. good prices:):):)
[Captivate Accessories] zhagas:
Typically I get my cables from monoprice, but since this connector is slightly different I decided to get some actual Samsung ones off ebay. They were 2.99 with free shipping... you can find them by searching for "OEM DATA CABLE Samsung Captivate i897 Vibrant T959 new!"
[Captivate Accessories] eatkabab:
Monoprice doesn't supply everything. Monoprice is absolutely EXCELLENT for WIRES first and foremost, then they produce a slew of other products you might find useful as well. Such as a Digital HD antenna (TV must have digi tuner to use this)...

Beautiful site/company run by absolute saints.

The absolute cheapest and highest quality to ever come outta China

System Update on a Contract Vodafone HTC Desire (unbranded and unlocked) has just presented me with a System Upgrade 1.24.161.3 (19.31MB).

For anyone considering this - this is NOT Froyo. It is an update that WILL BRAND your phone with a Vodafone startup screen, various Vodafone apps, etc.

I think, I'll be going to flash to stock ROM route now.

Someone should complain directly to Vodafone, As they including their eforum staff have pushed the Desire as a "Unbranded" handset!!! there must be something trading standards can do?
[Desire General] harnyuk:
so whats the benefit if any?
[Desire General] steveapp:
I agree it's not right, but I'm fairly sure there is a line in e contract that allows it, on the plus side it is probably something the had to release to confirm it works on froyo, fingers crossed froyo with a week, and I may debrand if it doesn't arrive or the new icons annoy me too much
[Desire General] rob81h:
LOL is their a BIG Vodafone splash screen on start up with this "update"? As far as i'm aware Vodafone did push the phone as "unbranded" it went something like this.

Week one of the desire's release:"The HTC desire is completely unbranded as are many of our handsets now, As we feel this is what our customers want".

Couple of weeks later:

Concerned customer: "Hang on, whats this vodafone scene?"

Eforum staff: I'll look into it!

Forum member: "Yeah the software versions differant as well"

Concerned customer: "Well thats odd, i was told by vodafone and numerous sites/forums the vodafone desire was completely unbranded, thats why i went with vodafone!"

Eforum staff:Well errrmmm well arr errmmm, as far as i know it is!!!"

Not my story just how i see it!!:eek:
[Desire General] freefall2:
I did the exact same thing with the same stock ROM above and have the same version above. Took me 2 hours to get to the final stage (as I am new to this) and then it failed. I have read elsewhere that Vodafone have done something to it so you can't debrand it.

Hi all! New here but will no doubt be around more.
[Desire General] rob81h:
Which HBOOT version is the new update? try rooting it with Unrevoked then flash any old 2.1 rooted rom, then make goldcard and flash HTC RUU!;)
[Desire General] AndyChecker:

i got the update on sunday morning it was 90mb and no vodafone stuff was involved in the install
[Desire General] freefall2:
AndyChecker - thanks for that. I am going to go through that method now. Have you since got FroYo?
[Desire General] AndyChecker:
Yeah mate am on Froyo now. All seems good so far.

Pain in the arse having to set things up again but good thing is if you use all the Google services they all get pulled down when you fiirst sync anyways. Have lsot 4 hours of my life tonight due to fecking Vodafone but on a positive note I am back on XDA posting which is something I haven't done for a while due to the stock Desire Rom being sooo much better than the old Win Mo ROMS.
[Desire General] C_S_R:
So far this junk has spamed my phone with...

a massive voda logo at boot up (which has removed htcs own "quietly brilliant" boot screen)

changed my default web homepage to vodas 360 page

Flooded my bookmarks with junk i didnt have bookmarked before

installed multiple apps like voda web browser, voda music store, voda app/game store & 360 updates app! None of which am i able to uninstall!

Updated my sms app so it displays the number of messages next to the message header

Changed "people" to htc people

Reactivated sync on stocks even though it was dasabled before.

Placed a click link to the voda music store in the stock mp3 player

Taken up over 10mb of internal memory!

Damn you vodafone!

Its true this is also happening in other countries, i live int he Netherlands and am now a verry verry verry angry Vodafone customer (enter swear words here).

Anyway, ive seen some solutions in this topic, but they all install a custom/rooted rom, i dont want that.

Is there ANY way to go back to the ORIGINAL HTC factory ROM, a non-rooted, non-vodafone-crap, OFFICIAL ROM that will cause me to keep getting official updates from HTC?

If anyone knows of a way... I also get the Bootloader error using the RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe when using a goldcard, and i get a "Customer-ID error" when not using a goldcard.

I'm a noob concerning flashing/rooteing/romming of phones, so if anyone has any good methods that work to get back my factory rom, you would be my god!
