Hi,
Could anybody recommend any apps to do the following:
1) Turn off mobile services (Eg, disconnect from the network) between certain hours? I would effectively like the phone in airplane mode during night time.
2) Vibrate every XX minutes when I notification arrives - Eg, if I miss the (faint) vibrate I'd like it to do as my previous phone did; Vibrate, for example, every 5 minutes stopping only when the notification has been acknowledged.
If any of these are possible please point me in the direction of the relevant apps.
If not and anybody feels a coding change... Feel free
Cheers.
SPD phone suite will do both.
Cannot seem to find that app in the Market. In the UK if that matters.
Any ideas?
Any alternative software?
Cheers.

Don't know of anything to turn airplane mode on. But what I've done is use Locale to make my phone completely silent at night, then turn the sounds back on at a specific time in the morning.
dgAlert will let you customize vibrate and repeating vibrate for text messages.
Oh sorry didnt know the dream was Android !
SPB is here http://beta.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/phonesuite/
Thanks for the replies. Will check out dgAlert - If that can repeated vibrate for calls too that would be immense... Will definitely check it tonight.
About Locale; I tried that however setting it to (For example) make the phone silent between 2300 - 0700. It makes the phone silent at 2300 but does not re-enable the ringer at 0700 (Or at least the "silent" icon still remains - One of the two!). Is this the correct behaviour? Or should it be automatically turning the ringer back at at 0700? I'd imagine I can work around by having "Sleep" at 2300-0700 and "Don't Sleep" at 0700-2300 but I'm curious as to why it doesn't work currently. Should simply "Sleep" between 2300-0700 work?
Cheers.
PS - This is non-rooted if that makes a difference.
With regards to locale, did you make sure you placed a default setting for it to revert back to? I had similar problems before I told local what the default settings outside of the conditions I imposed where.... (wifi would NEVER turn back on... etc)

I set up another Locale scenario to re-enable sound 1 minute after the "sleep" one ended. I don't know if there's an easier way (default settings were mentioned, that might work), but it works for now.
Thanks for the replies guys - You got it spot on; It hadn't any defaults! Set the defaults and now Locale works like a charm
Now I have locale turn off wifi bluetooth etc at "Sleep" and turn them back on afterwards... Sorted!
My only outstanding request now is the repeated vibrate - To clarify this further I would actually like an app that will send a repeated vibrate every XX mins for any notification in the notification bar (Eg, SMS, email, missed call). dgAlert may be able to manage it for SMS but I'm not sure about for other things. It also appears to have problems with other apps from a quick google.
Any software that will allow repeated vibration alerts (Until acknowledged - Eg, removed from notifications) for all notifications? That would be simply brilliant!
Cheers.
Just wanted to tip you off about Bedtime.
When you run this program, it only lets phonecalls through. Everything else is kept silent. You will also get a nice full screen watch
Thats great - Thanks; I'll be sure to check it out!
Now have many solutions for the night time problem... Only now to find a real good solution for repeated notifications - Any ideas welcome! Thanks...

Really after something to do repeated vibrate on notifications... Anything available? I've checked the market but I'm not sure if something exists which does it but not exlusively (Hence hard to tell from program name).
Any suggestions?
Cheers.
there is DgAlert, SMS POPUP (the new version has repeat notification) a few others i can not think of right now.
As far as I can tell, though, they only repeat notifications for SMS?
Any chance they now repeat for all notifications? If not, any others?
Cheers.

Have exact same problem, think there must be something related to the amount of time the phone has been in standby too, if I test an alarm, by setting it to go off in 10 mins for example, it works fine, left overnight, never works....
I had issues with the alarm after using Klaxxon and uninstalling it.
I am currently testing to try and get it working each time and seems to be ok.
I reinstalled Klaxxon ticked force remove windows alarms and intergrate applyed the changed and soft booted the phone.
I then started klaxxon again and remove both ticks and soft reset again.
I then used AlarmFixWM to remove duplicate entries from the notification queue.
Not 100% if this now works 100% but seems promising.
Im sure there is an easier way but the above its what I did.
Found this thread which seems to be related
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333521
Have installed SK tools, cleaned notification queue and set it to run cleanup auto in middle of night....
Alarm actually went off this morning...
Hardly conclusive, but gives me hope!
Odd, seems to be a longstanding WM2003/5/6/6.1 issue, not TD2 specific, but I moved to topaz from an artemis where I never had a single alarm problem... you would think if the artemis hardware could cope with my appointments list/alarms etc. then a topaz would be fine too...

Alarm sounded again this morning
Happy Days...
Will post back here if problem reoccurs,
Otherwise, assume this has worked for me.

Any chance you could post exactly how to do this using SK tools? I cant seem to figure it out and I have this annoying alarm problem!!!

1) Fire up SK Tools
2) Hit Tools (Bottom Right) --> Settings
3) 2nd Tab "Automation"
4) Toggle "Notifications Queue" to "Use in Auto Mode" if it isn't already
(Take a look through other run options to run and deselect them if you don't want them running automatically)
5) Toggle "Scheduled Run" to "Yes"
6) Set time/day/date etc. to run (Mine is set to run at 3.30am every day, probably overkill!)
7) Set "Silent Mode" to "Yes"
and you are good to go
Alternatively, to fix your Notifications Queue just once:
1) Fire up SK Tools
2) Category (Bottom Left) --> Maintenance
3) Select "Notifications Queue"
4) Action (Bottom Left) --> Mark Duplicates (should be a fair few if you are having alarm problems)
5) Action (Bottom Left) --> Delete Marked
Hope this helps, post back if not!
Good Luck

Thanks Pauly, ill see if G-alarm wakes me up in the morning!!
Dunno if you guys can help, i got Klaxon and alarm is fine, but if i snooze using shake then it never goes off again!
Can you show me your settings or give me any ideas?
My solution: Whatever alarm you have, install HTCPedia Topaz Setting Tool, go to Power Settings and set AC Resuming and Battery Resuming to 20 seconds, works EVERY DAY for me with Klaxxon.
That change made no difference when I was having my difficulties, think that gives the device longer to process your notifications queue if it is large, but if the notifications queue has other issues then it won't help.
P.
Edit: SFAIK Think G-Alarm changes both of these registry values to 120 seconds on installation, That is what they are set to on my TD2
they are located in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\ if you wish to edit directly,
"BattResumingSuspendTimeout" and "ACResumingSuspendTimeout"
But does that fix the snooze function?

doesn't sound like the same problem you have to be honest, the notifications queue stuff is related to the alarm never going off in the first place...
I'm not a klaxon user, but have had it installed in the past, are you sure that you don't have the light sensor alarm deactivation switched on or it set to switch the alarm off (rather than snooze) on shake?
P.
Thanks for replying mate, how would i know about the light sensor bit?

I thought there was an option in Klaxon itself to use the light sensor to deactivate the alarm when a light is switched on?
Ah... Ok... just checked Klaxon release docs and it seems that isn't implemented yet... so thats a red herring!
It does say though... flip phone over to snooze
and shake to deactivate
I'm guessing that whatever you are doing is triggering the deactivation rather than the snoozing....!
One way to check, if you enable the integration to TF3D in klaxon then the time noted for the next alarm on your front page should increment to the next alarm set once the alarm has been deactivated, but not if it is snoozed, I think anyway.
P.
hey, yeah sorry i turn it over! it used to work with stock rom i think .. do you know what each option does in klaxxon? might just try g-aram or something?

No, sorry not sure, guess there is some sort of sensitivity set somewhere where it determines whether you are shaking or just turning over, I used to use the turn over function in klaxon when I had it and it worked fine... in G-alarm I get what you describe btw the sensitivity is set such that when I turn it over it thinks I'm shaking it and deactivates, so that may not provide the fix you are after either... and G_alarm isn't free... if you hunt around, I'm sure there was another klaxon thread on here (possibly by the developer himself) that had some details of the sensitivity being changed between releases, may be a reg edit you can do to fine tune it?
Good Luck!

Description
Mute4 is a very simple application. When run, it allows you to set your phone to the vibrate or silent profile and also set a timeout for when you want it to restore the normal volume profile.
Going to a movie? Set Mute4 for three hours. Going to a meeting? Set Mute4 to one hour. Just need a short coffee break without the phone ringing? Set Mute4 to 15 minutes.

License
This app is released under the Ms-RL.
Requirements
WM5/6/6.5
How to use
Run Mute4, then click on the Metro-style buttons to cycle through the options. The profiles available are Vibrate and Silent. The default timeouts are 15 minutes, 30 minutes, one hour, two hours, and three hours.
The "Metro style" UI was chosen for the same reason Microsoft did: it takes no time to make something look so 'basic' and I'm lazy. ;-)
How to create custom timeouts
Go to the application installation folder (\Program Files\Mute4 usually) and edit settings.ini. Under the Timeouts section, there are items called T1 through T5. The values are in minutes. You can edit those, add new lines, remove existing ones. Just remember that you can't have more than one variable name that are the same (as in, you can't have multiple "T1"). The INI reader doesn't like this. So make sure you make each variable name unique. But it doesn't really matter what you call it. The only other requiment is that the times be in increasing order. If they aren't, some values might be ignored. So if you do 15, 30, 20, the cycling will stop at 30 and cycle back to 15 in the UI.
Notes
Mute4 does not leave an app (or service) running to accomplish its task, so there is no performance degradation or battery life lost with its use. It sets a system timer to wake the phone up and run Mute4's "restore" app at the time you specified by the restore timer -- it's that simple. So have no fears about its use. In fact, you can even soft reset between running Mute4 and when the timer would normally fire and it will still fire right on time.

Changelog
Version 3
---------
- Modified the screen layout slightly to support square screens better.
- Fixed some bugs in the INI file parser (should not affect version 2.1 and older; this was related to saving INIs).
- Added the ability to modify the timeout settings within the application. Look under Menu (new right soft key) and Settings.
- The application actively checks before saving to see if Settings.ini is set to read-only and unsets the flag automatically.
- You can now select advanced mode, which lets you set the exact time the normal profile will be restored or a custom number of minutes from the current time.
- When a Mute4 timeout is set greater than 24 hours into the future, the cancel dialog will tell which day the phone is set to return to the normal profile.
- Minimizing Mute4 no longer exits the application.
- Cancel Mute4 timer button no longer flickers when pressed.
Version 2.1
-----------
- Fixed a bug in the V2 installer that set the settings.ini to read-only which could cause Mute4 to crash.
- The rare bug that was fixed in Version 2 apparently has siblings. Found another spot where enumerating the notification queue can cause a crash. Fixed.
Version 2
---------
- Fixed a bug where certain rare conditions would cause Mute4 to crash when you try to cancel an existing timer. Now Mute4 will try again and inform you if it is unable to clear the timer.
- Improved performance of some controls.
- Buttons gray out when inactive.
- Fixed a bug where certain timeout values would display incorrectly (for example, 45 minutes would display as 1 hour 45 minutes) due to incorrect math function.
- Fixed a bug (hopefully) where when on a phone call, the profile will not revert back to normal. The work around is to keep trying every five seconds until it works.
Version 1
---------
- Initial release
Thanks, such a simple idea, how did I live without this! I'm flashing today and will install asap and enjoy. Thank you.
Great idea! Will try it now. Thanks!
HTC TP2 - I want my phone volumne muted, but still want to listen to my music with my headphones. I have been told that stock WM have two seperate volumne settings, one for phone and one for device but that HTC's interface put them together.
Any idea if this mute profile is for the phone (ringer) or for the device? Would love to even take it a step further if possible to mute the phone, mute the external speaker, and keep the volumne for my music via a head set.
Nice idea, coz i always forget to switch it on back and kinda miss out some calls. Brilliant~

It affects both volumes. It uses the three built-in WM profiles (normal, vibrate, and silent) to switch, so the actual volume levels are not affected (in other words, when you switch back to normal, the volume is where you left it).
For more fine-grained volume control with a timer to reset, I recommend checking out a product called VolumeX. It should fit your needs nicely.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that if you are using Sense UI, it by default controls both volumes with one slider. If you go to settings, there's a checkbox to operate the volumes separately. That might be all you need. On the other hand, if you need a timed mute, Mute4 is for you. And if you need to manipulate volume levels on a timer, VolumeX is really great.
Very good application. I needed it...
Every so often an app comes along that quite simply kicks arse. This is one of those applications.
THANKYOU!!
Just a small bug. On my HD2, the taskbar icon doesn't change until you go in to the volume menu and then come back out of it. So it looks like the speaker is still on, even though it isn't. The same thing happens when you come back out of silent mode.

That's interesting. The icon is definitely changing on my TP2. It should change as soon as the profile is changed. Can you check to see if the same happens with other profile changing apps? For example, if you vibrate/silent using the system volume control?
Looks like its a bug in the ROM i'm using. If I change the profile under sound and display it does the same thing.
Great software
awesome app however I've always been finding one of these apps where i can schedule when it should be silent, when sound is supposed to on. Is it possible to include a scheduler in the program OP? or does anyone know any program that can allow me to schedule my sound profiles, thanks
Under your sound settings you should be able to set the phone to be on silent when you have a scheduled appointment in your calendar. You can with the HD2. Not sure about others.

Hi, perhase you can help me in this contence...
I tested Mute4 and also volumeX, but I didn' t find a solution for my problem.
For example in the programs "CraddleAlarn" or "Chronos" there is an input row, where I can insert a command which is executed at a from me choosen time.
I want to change to the "silent mode" each night at 2 h pm and to "normal mode" at 8 h pm.
I inserted the string "silent", but nothing happened.
Can you tell me the windows mobile system commands, that I have to put in there for silent, vibrate or normal (with the necessary prefix)?????
Thanks
Michael
Donated! Awesome app (especially once I set some custom time-outs).
Thanks!
Thank you! I remember having this feature on my Tapwave Zodiac and have missed it on every device ever since then! And now it has been restored!
THANKS ALOT man
this program is great
may i suggest making the timeouts like a clock, its really better and more handy
another thing, and i think its a bug
when set the profile to get back at anytime you want, and u are having a call then, or some body is calling you, the program doesnt change the profile, and stop trying to change it, even after the call has finished
i think making the program tries more than one time to restore the profile would solve that
Thanx again

Re: clock - Cool idea, but I won't be adding that. The source is available if anybody wants to do that.
Re: on call profile switching - Interesting find! I'll modify the profile changer to do exactly what you said... If it doesn't work, it will try again like a minute later until it 'takes.' That should solve the problem fairly well. it won't be perfect (as in there will be a lag between each retry) but it will get the job done.
Since a lot of people suggest disabling the g-sensor to prevent the screen freezes I thought I'd try something.
I don't want to have my rotation disabled as it's very handy to have. So what I do is use an app called Tasker. It's not free, but there is a 7-day trial available.
Basically I have it set to disable screen rotation every time the screen is off..and so far I haven't had any screen freezes. It may be coincidence, it may not be. I'm not exactly sure if the app does disable the g-sensor or does something else, but so far so good.
For those that don't know about Tasker...it's probably the best app that will ever be made for Android. You can make your phone do almost anything.
For example, I use it to:
When I get home, Wifi turns on and 3G is turned off. When I leave home, Wifi turns off and 3G turns on....same for work.
I have it disable wifi, 3g and screen rotation at night when I'm in bed.
It enables GPS when I launch maps or navigation, and disables GPS when I close the app.
And those are very basic ones...
The Tasker wiki has many more advanced "profiles" you can use:
Code:
Lock An Application
Start the Day with a Particular Application
Battery Full Alert
Launch Music App When Headset Inserted
Launch Menu of Music Apps When Headset Inserted
Keep screen awake when using the keyboard
Speaking Clock for Android 1.5
Control Keyguard (scroll to unlock) when Power is Connected/Disconnected
Keep Multiple Backups of Tasker Config
Change Ringtone on Every New Call
Mute in Meetings
Hold Ringer Volume Down
Auto-Respond To SMSs At Night
Change Volume Levels during Different Times of the Day
Check Data/SMS/Minute Usage With Carrier While Sleeping
Temporarily max brightness of screen during Incoming Call
Auto (Silent) Sleep Mode with Exceptions
Intermediate
Power Plug In - Choose Car/Home/Night Mode
Generic Toggle Widget
Open the keyboard and start texting
Set volume then Launch menu of music apps
Alarmclock without Snooze
Alarms with Snooze and Vibrate
Geburtstagserinnerung (German)
Car Locator
Notification Reminder Pulse
Locate your phone using SMS and google maps
Lock your phone and locate it by SMS and sound
A full talking clock
Act like a docking station when plugged into USB
Auto answer calls when your bluetooth headset is connected
Extended phone profile changer with Notification and Widget
Turn your cell phone into a Voip phone
Advanced
Periodic Data Check (Juicedefender Replacement)
Creates profiles similar to S60 devices and changes them depending on variety of factors
U.S. Navy Ships Bells (Using Tasker's OR '/' feature) * Pattern Matching *
Changing background image depending on current weather (Using HTTPGet)
Or you can simply create your own...there is a learning curve, but once you get a feel for it, it's VERY powerful! It can control almost every part of your Android phone.
There's a decent thread with more examples on xda in this thread.
I realise this is a software post, but it's main aim was to point out a way of disabling rotation to help with screen freezes

Thanks for the suggestion, I've seen a few people mention this app before but now I finally downloaded it. I'll play around a bit to figure out some combos, but one quick question..
Is this going to be something running in the background sucking up battery and memory or is it just like running scripts? What do you think? I'll run current widget once I get some tasks going to see happens, just wondering if you've found anything out yet.

It depends on what profiles you set up...if they involve wireless, it will enable wireless every so often to check access points etc....or if you are using a location profile, it will enable gps every so often to check your location. You can change how often everything polls in the settings.
I have mine as per the first post, so it does scan for wireless every so often, and I havent seen any change in battery usage.

Tried this, but didnt work
I tried many different versions of kernels but in all if I keep my phone on standby (screen off) for a long time, say 20 mins, my phone freezes, My hardware buttons still glow on press, but phone never wakes up, any Ideas??
Even you disable display rotation, the sensor is still active, just use Gscript and disable sensor, you won't get any more freeze.

I was just about to write exactly the same words!
Scotsman - can you tell if Tasker can run a custom written script, upon some event? Then we can use it to turn off the gsensor!
Finally seems to be workin!!I made 2 changes:
1) Upgraded my radio from 2.08 to 2.12 (I recommend this one)
2) Stopped GSensor with Gscript
Another issue,
After I restart the sensor via script, photos in album wont rotate anymore!!
I did a `ps -ef|grep akmd` and the process is running, any thoughts??
edit: it works after restart!!
did you use the free gscript? cause mine says needs su:true
Your solution is great thanks... i did something slightly different : using tasker, autorotation is enabled only for apps that I want too, like gallery. Rest of the time, its off and working great that way too.
One of the best apps in the Market for android is Tasker. Needless to say what transformation cand your phone get by using this app. You can see that here:
http://tasker.dinglisch.net/
and you can get it from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
I was just trying to find a collection of profiles for O1 and it seems there isn`t one, so why not having it right here.
So let`s get the best from our O1 by sharing the profiles we can use for different tasks. Practically there is no limit to what we can do with the phone using that app.
I also recommend you should post your system configuration because some tasks may not work on some roms, kernels etc.
LET YOUR SMARTPHONE BE SMART!
For people using ICS Roms, go to sttings>language and input method>text transformation result and select Pico TTS so you enable voice on Tasker.
I`ll start with a simple profile to make you phone stop ringing by turning it face down:
For this Context, you would choose State, then pick Orientation. You'll get the options you see at left. For this example, "Face Down" is a pretty deliberate action you take with your phone.
For the tasks, you can add "Bluetooth" and "WiFi" from the Net menu, set to Off, "GPS" from Misc set to Off, and set the volumes for "Media Volume" and "System Volume" to 0 from the Audio menu. If you'd like, you can re-order the tasks in priority by pressing and dragging them up the chain. In this case, I moved the volume-to-0 tasks up higher, since silencing the phone was the most important thing to do. Hit Done, and you're all set.
And there you go! Just flip the phone on it`s face to make it silent.

Am I the only one who thinks that an app doing something at absolutely anything you do with the phone, this is not draining, it just uses 100% of the CPU when you flip the phone...
And lets not mention that, to make phone silent when turned upside down means it has a permanent wakelock, and sensor constantly finding what is the position etc...
At the end, you will have a very smart phone, but you won't be able to answer a call, because when answering phone must change all the settings, and then reboot, and... whatever, this thing sucks! Just like juice defender, but it is oriented 100% on losing performance and battery and control over the phone...
Oh you can try to make it do a factory reset every day if it is so smart

Read first, post after. Tasker app does not keep your phone awake as most tasks are set to trigger while it is awake and the display is on. Like the task to open automatically wifi when you open your browser or xda app and set it off after closing those apps. And when setting triggers based on power settings or time, the wakelocks are not constant, being activated just like alarm wakelocks. In fact you can set smart alarms too. Or actions based on calls/sms/mms received from specific ppl at specific times etc., or actions based on gestures set by you, proximity sensor ...
Tested wakelocks with BBStatus and no wakelocks, the phone goes to deep sleep. Tested cpu freq with Cool Tool and max freq is used only when starting the triggered app or doing the task set. In the rest of the time the freq oscillates normally.
And please do not make comments on any app based on how other apps behave. Try it then post.
If anyone is using this app, post your profiles or the ones you think are usefull.
nice thread! let me share my fav profiles
@vlt
Yea, you are the only one who thinks it because otherwise the app wont get 4-5 stars at always if it is battery consuming also, just because the developer had explained clearly how the tasker consume battery. its in the userguide inside and im vrry satisfied with it.
@voyager
tasker is just amazing to me ive been using it for long because it really makes my phone even smarter.
undoubtedly yes, using sensors as a context is the most battery comsuming but we can Limit the use of its detection by ourselves. not mentioning its pre-installed functionality that it wont detect when screen off, for your silent mode thing we can add another context - how about only when our launcher is in the foreground? that makes things even easier
now im glad to share my most frequently used profiles (not giving you guys my private ones XD) including
- vibrate 0.3 second with a little toast msg when power is plugged
- vibrate 0.3 sec and show how much battery left with toast when power is unplugged
- weekdays auto vibration mode in the morning
- auto rotation only on browser
- temporarily disable lockscreen when specified apps are opened (my default set for u is calculator)
- CM7 camera anti-flickering (good for those who OC with stock kernel )
- brightness 80% when camera activates and restore after exit
although gestures and proximity sensor contexts are SUPER COOL, other than the time i show off to my friends xD, ive always been avoiding the sensors to eliminate any chances of over using them and cause batteries.
so, i guarantee my profiles are super battery friendly....
hehehe you must be tempted to download immediately? do it! tell me what do you think of my favourite profiles which are always activated on my P500
to import, unzip my zip and u get xml files. go to tasker, long press "profiles" tab, import, choose the xml. done!
lol dont worry abt the little tip, Miasmic never gives malicious tasks
Happy tasking!

I suppose camera anti-flickering profile uses the OC task and downclocks the phone when opening camera right?
Nice ideea!

How do you change OC on it?
.........
Set a profile which is based on a context on which the task will trigger, for example when open camera, set task to set clock to 600 Mhz, then set exit app task to reset the clock back to your usual OC freq.
You can play like that with almost everything on you phone.
I use a profile to like turn in gps when i open maps and automatically close it later

Look under task>net. If not there then no.
I can't get it executes the task, the notification keep saying no active profiles. Imported missmic XML profiles (thanks to miasmic). please help, thanks....
Try setting some simpler tasks like start wifi when opening browser. Miassmic`s tasks can be set manually too.
Here`s another profile
Enable WiFi when at Home
Context: State –> Cell Near
Tap the “Start” button and move around your home as your area may be covered by several cells (the “<” sign represents the tower you’re currently connected to). You may stop it after few minutes.
Action: Net –> WiFi
Another profile which sets up a shortcut on home screen for taking instant photos, without opening camera app (point and shoot)
Long-press on the Home-screen > Shortcuts > Task
Action: Media –> Photo Series Time (So that new photos don’t overwrite the previous one and every new photo will have the time attached with its name.)
If discrete is checked, there will be no sign of the picture being taken.
Profiles i use
I attached some of my usual profiles.
What they do:
Missed call> after any missed call with display locked the phone vibrates 0.7 sec than waits one minute and says "you had one call x minutes ago" every minute for 30 minutes. Profile must be used with display unlocked profile
Display unlocked> if you had a missed call and unlock the phone the missed call profile stops
Charging>when connected to AC/usb (can be set to either or any) phone will vibrate 07 sec and say "charging"
Battery full>when connected to AC/usb (can be set to either or any) and battery reaches 100% the phone will say "battery full"
Profiles can be improved or modified easy to reach anyones expectations.
This application has a few problems like battery drain .
Another one is UI....it's a bit unfriendly by the way the cool thing is that you have that if :
if condition1 = or anything with condition 2 then execute .
Yap, a bit unfriendly, but once you now how...
Hi,
On cm 7.2, how do you set tasker to enable or disable pattern lock?
I'm on cm 7.2 since yesterday on my Desire. It's my first time on cm, actually. Before that, I used to be on HTC Desire specific roms. I'm rooted.
I've been using Tasker for quite a while, and by now I have a number of profiles that make me feel my phone is smart
Now, the big problem with Tasker is that it spoils you by doing all sorts of things automatically for you. And when a profile no longer works and you have to do things manually, you get really annoyed
And so, in that context, I have the following profile :
Profile : Home
Context : Cell Near
Variable Set %HOME to on
Wifi Set On
Secure Settings Configuration Pattern Lock disabled
Previously, before I switched to cm 7.2, this used to work perfectly, with GO Launcher and stock pattern lock. Now that I'm on cm 7.2 also with GO Launcher, Tasker can no longer act on pattern lock.
Any idea anyone?
Thanks,
Egg
SOLVED :
I solved my issue by complety removing Secure Settings and re-installing version 1.2.2 from Google Play.
So I am thinking about buying this app but.....
This app is incompatible with your device.
