Hi all,
I have Co-Pilot on my X10 and was wondering if there is a way to stop incoming texts and calls displaying whilst navigating? I assume putting the phone in flight mode will stop the GPS receiver?

Yes you can. Install Switch Pro Widgets from the market (or free from the apktor) and there is an option in Airplane mode that only tuns off signal only, and you can keep your wifi or your gps on.
Hope it helps.
Regards
Legendary effort. That worked. Just a shame I have to have 4x1 widget but it will def do the trick so thanks very much

Why using a 4x1 widget when you can press the power button for a few seconds and select Airplane mode from there?

If you select airport mode from the phone settings it will be disable all wireless connections, from switchpro widgets you can select only "turn off signal only"
Cybrid, if you update your Swtchpro widgets to 1.8.3 (from apktor) iyou can select widgets 1x1, 1x2, 1x3 and 1x4. So select 1x1 and it is done!
managed to get 1.8.3 and now one button. Thanks so much

Hey all! If your like me then you can't even make it through an eight hour work day with 3g on with your Magic. I see tons of widgets that will take you to the settings menu to toggle 2g/3g.
Is there any widget that can be had which will toggle it right from a desktop? I am rooted so that won't be an issue.
Thanks!

Sorry not the right widget.

Best I've found for this is Any Cut which lets me put a icon that takes me right to the page where I can check the 2g box. 2 clicks is better than several I guess.

And what is that menuitem called? I just have a lot of "settings" in my AnyCut", and no dedicated 2g settings menu point.
There's a super awesome widget called "switcher pro"... I think (it isn't free, but doesn't cost much). Basically it's your standard power control on crack!
It looks exactly the same (it uses the same graphics, so it looks good), and lets you customize what the opens are, you can have between 5 or 7. One option is a 2G/3G toggle, though it only opens the setting and can't tell you if 3G is enabled.
There are a few things keeping me from using mobile shell as my main interface.
First annoying issue is that in the "3-D SMS" section, when you press "reply" it opens up a blank message with no one to send it to. Why wouldn't it automatically add the contact I'm replying to?
Another issue is that the calender widget doesn't show full day appointments even when that option is selected from the menu. Strange...
And any of the text entry widgets, such as the Twitter, Facebook and Google widgets have problems switching from portait to landscape. I'm sure most of us are used to tapping on a text field, sliding open the keyboard and proceeding to type. Well, sliding the keyboard removes the curser from the text field, so you have to tap on it again to start typing.
These issues are very minor, but seem so simple to solve and are therefore annoying. I want to use mobile shell, but touch flo still seems more efficient and "quirk" free.
Does the bluetooth toggle function work? In the previous version, Mobile Shel 3.01, nothing happened when pressing the bluetooth toggle widget.
Unfortunately - it still doesn't. I'm using EnergyROM "Genesis" 9/12.

Yeah didnt work quite right on my sprint tp2 either, so I just maked a "shortcut widget" to the Connection manager in the control panel. It doesnt look as nice, but its just as quick to load and then you get all the options.
Airplane, phone, bluetooth, wifi, direct push, and cellular data that you can turn on or off, or tap settings to change.
IMO its better this way than even working bluetooth/wifi buttons
I've been trying to get a juicy theme going on but I'm having real trouble finding a switch to allow direct access to allow me to switch mobile data on and off.
SwitchPro doesn't allow me to do it, both "Data Connection" and "2g 3g" only switch it off for a few seconds and then it pops back up. If I then go into settings, Wireless, Mobile network shows as being ticked, yet says "Connection failed" - It is of course connected and functional.
Extended Controls 2g/3g and Data Network do exactly the same.
There is, of course, the native Sense UI widget...so how hard can it be if you don't want to use Sense?
Is there a widget out there that will allow me to directly switch Mobile Network (data) on and off from the homescreen?
Currently on latest Mocado R8 custom bake.
i had that problem before as well..what i did is remove the defualt apn and add them back manually..and the problem solve..u can try on this method..
Try APNDroid:

you can change switch pro's settings to make it do the same thing as APNDroid too.

Could you give me a quick step-by-step?
Will try apnDroid too, thanks guys.
EDIT - apndroid simply disables it for a few seconds, it then reconnects.
widget didnt do anything.
I need one because you have to press and hold the power button and it seems a bit rough on it and we all know that these little buttons always go bad so a widget would be great for relieving the burdon on the power button.
any other suggestions, for a rooted evo?
sorry for the noob question i did try a search & read the wiki trouble is my question is "what is this" so rather hard to search, when the question is what is it!!!
on the start home screen there's a 5 item widget/toolbar that has
- wifi
- blueTh
- ?
- ?
- screen brightness
What are the 2 items that i only have question marks for, i've pressed them but what do they do (other than nothing obvious)?
Thanks in advance....
I'm pretty sure one is to enable data on mobile networks, the 2nd is to enable apps (eg gmail, maps etc) to sync using data on mobile networks or wifi.

cheers,
not sure though....
the 3rd & 4th buttons really dont seem to do anything even when plugged into the pc, what happens when you press them on yours?
thanks again
wifi, bluetooth, gps, sync, brightness
is there any way to edit those functions? or add/take away our own?
i'd love to swap a data connection on/off for that sync button.

Noooooo not on a Stock rom mate
yeah, I looked around a little today. Looks like the OS doesn't allow access to turning data on/off from anywhere but the settings menu. I found an app that just created a shortcut to the data menu. Works for me.
+1
I found 2g/3g in the market that links directly to the data menu & placed it on my homescreen
elegant? no - does the job? yes
What does everybody use?
This is the only one I've set up
When connecting to my car kit a routine will turn of WiFi, enable data, GPS, start flitsmeister and navigation apps. Also it will set the fontsize to large and zoom in.
Or when connecting to WiFi at home data and GPS will be turned off
Home (GPS location)
-Wifi: On
-Sound mode: Sound
-Dolby Atmos: On
-Media volume: 60%
Not charging
-Always on display: On, portrait mode
Charging
-Always on display: On, landscape mode
Work (GPS location)
-Sound mode: Vibration
-Wifi: Off
-Media volume: 50%
Driving (connected to Bluetooth stereo)
-Dolby Atmos: On
-Media volume: 100%
-Play music: Google play music
Start button trigger "A"- Bluetooth on (redundant, but saves me from pulling down the panel and tapping bluetooth)
Auto run
If Bluetooth connected to headphones
Open music app
Plays local files
Auto run
If Bluetooth connects to my car
On location
Open navigation app
Sets route back home
To close all these and reset the settings to my original profile, tap "A" again

What do you mean by start button A? Are you referring to the bixby button?

you can set a condition to run a routine manually.
doing so, you will get a icon that you can place on the home page.
Does anyone knows if it is possible to put a manual routine to an edge panel?
I don't like having a manual routine as a widget on my minimal homescreen.
This is possible with the tasks edge. But if you delete the shortcut on the homescreen, you will also lose it on the task edge.

other question: is there a way to use sygic instead of google maps through Bixby routines? Bixby opens sygic, but when it comes to navigation, it changes to google maps.

Strange, I don't see the created shortcut in tasks edge...
My routines are switch AOD on when charging and set screen orientation to auto-rotate when Twitch is opened because for some reason, they disabled auto-rotate when in landscape mode a few updates ago

It only works with Samsung launcher. So if you use an alternative one as Nova launcher, set One UI als standard launcher, create shortcut and add it to the edge panel. Then you can switch back to e.g. nova. Only thing, to make it work, the shortcut has to be created both on One UI and Nova.
So the steps I did:
- create shortcut on Nova
- switch to One UI
- create short cut again
- ad shortcut to tasks edge
- switch back to Nova
Didn´t find out another workaround. Hope I could help.

Does anyone have problem with Airplane mode when using Bixy , I set at night to turn on Airplane mode in bixby routine. However I found that the airplane mode can not be turned on. the mode set to on/off instantly and It drained battery really fast .
Can anybody help me fix this problem ?

Sorry, I've messed up the routines with the fast commands. For the routines, I have not found a solution.
Otherwise, I think the Bixby routines really great. I realize now what is all possible. As simple tasks as gps automatically turns on when starting eg Sygic as well as then gps automatically turns off when the app is closed. As well as everything can be configured when I am connected to my wifi at home. What I still miss is the possibility to carry out a routine if the battery level is not below a specific value but above, for example.
Definitely a great thing, even to save battery under certain conditions. Not that bad

I just tried with a routine for 1min Airplane mode and can not reproduce that. Surely you have indicated the right tasks?

I know the reason which causes the bug. If you set place in the condition, The airplane mode can not be turned on because need signal to identify the location :crying::crying:
Real shame Bixby routines can't integrate with Google Home , Phillips Hue or Nest directly , then a Home routine really would be great
You can use Bixby to turn lights on verbally bit as you walk in the door you can use Amazon or Google home to do that
Shame there isn't a way with a routine to bring it all into one place

Isn't it possible to use IFTTT in combination with Bixby? Like bixby triggering a command on IFTTT that sends a command to Google Home?
