I just bought the tasker app and figured I would let people know how its working for me, and to solicit suggestions for things I can do with it.
background:
Its a very good app that allows you to script the behavior of the phone based on a very large set of events or states.
My initial use:
As previously mentioned on this board the bluetooth streaming volume is not the loudest, so I always end up turning up the volume for bluetooth. Then when I plugin my headphones I destroy my eardrums.
So I setup a task that when I connect to my bluetooth car stereo, it automatically sets the volume to max and turns off wifi for good measure.
I have another task that when I plugin headphones, it sets the volume to 60% and opens the doubletwist music player.
Finally I setup the standard battery task so that when my battery gets to 20% it turns of all the GPS, wifi, and bluetooth radios, as well as dimming my screen.
Anyone else have this app and have something cool they have setup using it? I have heard of silent mode when the handset is placed flat facedown, which i thought was unique.
I have had it for a few days and am playing around with it. I have 2 tasks so far. First is to go to silent mode when face down. This is especially nice since I charge it overnight by my bed and don't want notifications (emails etc) waking me up so I have been just turning silent mode on at night and off in the morning. Sometime forgetting to turn on in the morning.
The 2nd task is to read the email sender and subject aloud when I am in the car and it is connected to my car stereo via bluetooth. I like the wifi off setting you did. I may do the same.
I also noticed that when listening to streaming through bluetooth with the wifi on but not connected to an ap, I get "skips" every once in awhile. Turning off wifi fixes it so I may set it to turn off wifi when streaming bluetooth audio.
Couple issues I have had. If the phone is in "standby" (pushing the power button) tasker won't go to silent mode. Also, I tried to make the screen go off when face down as well but it doesn't work. Apparently tasker can not turn the screen off but you are supposed to be able to change the timeout to as little as 7 seconds. I set that up but instead of the screen going off it just dims. Not sure of the issue.
I am interested in what others are doing so post the info.
I have two keyboards i really like in 2 different orientations.
Droid X keyboard:
its sweet autocorrections and large real estate makes it ideal for two thumb typing in landscape
swype:
slower than droid X keyboard in landscape, but in portrait, this is possibly the fastest/most accurate keyboard around.
I tried to set it up so that i could change my keyboards depending on the orientation, but i could not figure it out
im also for an app that turns your screen off with a timer (in the background). and have that work when you turn your screen downward./
any with either of these would be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys,
when i plug in my wired 360 controller, everything is fine and i can play my old psp games with ppsspp.
But what is really annoying is that the button in the middle of the controller keeps blinking the whole time - guess he does this because he is not assigned to be player 1/2/3/4 and is waiting for this.
Via google i also came onto this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoygold
After installing and starting, the blinking goes away. But my controller does not work anymore in ppsspp ...
(uninstalling and repluggin the controller makes it work again)
So i tried to map the controls in this ubs/bt joystick center app, but i can't figure out how to do it. It recognizes my 360 controller, but the given mapping is from a real keyboard, with f1 f2 keys and numpad and everything. So either the app is crap, or i am dumb..
Can somebody help me? To either set up this app, so i can play again, or show me another way to remove the blinking?
Thanks
I have the same issue. The virtual mouse pointer doesn't show as well, but the buttons seem to be sending commands to the tablet.
My Priv is paired with my Moto 360 and smart lock is on. When I wake in the morning I have to unlock my phone as if it unpaired or the phone rebooted over night. Is deep sleep shutting bluetooth? Did I miss a setting some where? Can this be dissabled? Suggestions ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As far as I know, if you have not touched your phone for extended period of time, then smart lock will ask you to unlock the phone with your password/pattern...
I have it lock instantly, pebble is connected constantly and always receives notifications
Hey, everyone, this is my first Samsung phone, after 4 years of Sony Xperias. I thought it was time to join the big screen league and decided on this beautiful phone.
I am trying to get used to Samsung's way of doing things. One thing that seems very strange is that when I tap NFC on my Sony bluetooth headphones or the loudspeaker, it turns them on and connects them to the phone (and it turns on the bluetooth obviously) - and this is fine - but when I am done and tap the NFC again, it disconnects but the bluetooth on the phone stays on! So I have to remember to turn it off manually. The Sony phones also turned off the bluetooth when disconnecting by NFC tapping, if it was off before I tapped to connect.
Does this happen to anyone else? If so, is there any app or something I can do to get this out of the way? Tasker might be a little too complicated for me
Thanks!
Randomly, as of about ~2 weeks ago, my Shield remote nor the controller will wake up my Shield when it is "sleeping". To wake up the Shield I have been disconnecting and then reconnecting the power cord, which is veryyy freaking annoying to say the least. Any suggestions to alleviate this? Thanks
I've had this problem recently too. While it's awake, does yours also turn itself off when you push a button on the remote?
Happens to me randomly and it's really annoying. Can't figure out why it happens.
