Gesture Lockscreen

Hi all,
I had an idea inspired by the cyanogenmod lockscreen. The idea is to incorporate the google gesture app in the lockscreen i dont know if its possible but that should be so Nice

Weather widget updates randomly

It doesn't stock to 3 hour slot as requested.
Sometimes updates once a day.sometimes only manually....
Anyone else got this?

For me too. Doesn't matter GSM or WiFi.

Seems to be working fine for me. Maybe the weather is just always the same where you are?

Is it based on location?

Yes location based.
Its not always the same weather. The time of update doesn't change either

It seems the background accuweather task gets killed occasionally?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

same here.
this widget updates only manualy.
same as stock exchange widget

Yeah, the Samsung Accuweather widget updated sparodically, and never updated the location. After hoping for a few days that it would work properly, I decided to get the Weather channel widget from Market and it is working really well.

I wonder if there's an app / whitelist somewhere in the configuration files that the task could be added to so its not closed?

NFC task launcher

Would Tasker allow me to write a tag to do more actions? Right now the tags I have can only hold 46 bytes and I'd have to use multiple tags to toggle the volumes. That or is there a way to toggle volume and have notifications and ringer volume linked together like in aosp? My T999 won't allow that.

I used nfc task launcher and set 3 volumes, turn on Bluetooth, wifi off and brightness and launch an app all on one tag. U should be fine.

Well it works but not if I do a toggle tag which is my goal

im pretty sure you can use tasker to perform operations

I figured out a solution for this by toggling a setting. However what do you all use your nfc tags for?

Wifi safe zone

Is my mind paying tricks on me or did Samsung say something about wifi safe zone where phone is unlocked automatically when connected to certain networks

I thought this too, you can add your wifi network to a home zone but I can't find any setting to disable my screen lock when attached to that network?

Mobile Hotspot Widget?

I turn my mobile hotspot on/off quite a bit and would love to use a widget to speed up the process. However, none of the widgets I have tried from the Play Store have worked. Has anyone had any luck with a mobile hotspot widget? Thanks!

There's an app called hotspot toogle widget. Works with my s2

Doesn't seem to work for me. I have the provision check being skipped, as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456338
Could something with that be causing the widgets not to work?

There is a shortcut in the qsettings in status bar

I don't see it, maybe the Verizon version doesn't have it?

It's just labelled hotspot

Still seeking widget
Has anyone found a solution for this yet? Like the original poster, I use the Mobile Hotspot regularly to tether my LG Gpad 8.3 to my Verizon G2, and I would definitely like to reduce the steps necessary to establish the connection. I have no hotspot selection on the Q settings, nor do any widgets that I have found thus far work for the Mobile Hotspot feature. My guess is that Verizon removes that selection from the Quick settings because they do not want to make it easy to tether.
If I had more time to experiment with Tasker, there is probably a way around this. Can help with this, I would be greatly appreciative.
Or maybe you need to start looking at an alternate ROM
