S-voice or g-now activating like siri - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I love how anytime the screen is on (iPhone) you can lift the phone to your ear and siri will just activate. I have tasker but not very good at it. Can someone help me get s-voice or Google Now to work activate in a similar way? Thanks.

Try to create a new profile in tasker that checks for two "State" checks
1. Display State - On
2. Proximity Sensor (enabled)
When both of these are true, launch app - Google Search
Edit: You may want to also check to make sure you are not in a call at that time. Tune the State conditions as needed

Thanks. I will try it today.

WidgetLocker has a setting so you would need to unlock the screen before answering or ignoring the call. not sure if is password enabled.
Best solution I have found thus far has been to insert my phone in my pocket
use the fingerprint scanner and adj settings
or dont have ya girl call when ya wife
is at home

Use your phone immediately after eating chips and other oily food without washing your hands. Nobody would ever dare to touch your phone.

[Q] App that calls a person until they pick up?

Does anyone know of an app that can repeatedly call someone? Or that I can set to call someone in intervals?
If not
Does anyone know how to write an android app that accesses the phone and that I can set to call a certain number repeatedly?
Any help appreciated, thanks!
Haha what is your intention?

And do I have to setup tasker to do every call to him? Because it looks like I have to setup a trigger for it to call him..

So set up a trigger that goes off every five minutes. I'm sure if you are trying to get your friend to hate you, you will succeed.

That is downright obnoxious. Friends don't spam friends phone numbers like that
That's more like phone stalking.
Smsbomb also. Makes enemies

If your friend is dumb enough not to block you after 2-3 calls he/she deserves to be spammed.

Proximity Sensor timings & dialpad issues

hi all. i have two concerns. is there a way to make the phone come back to normal faster after moving the phone away from your ear when you end the call or while in call? if that makes sense.
another concern is while i'm on the call, without moving the phone away from my ear or anything, the phone will just dial a random string of numbers as if i'm pressing them accidentally. in each instance the dialpad is open while i'm in call, but i'm not moving the phone away from the ear so the phone should be staying dim. now, i'm not sure what exactly happens, but i'll be on the phone and then i'll hear just a bunch of tones as if i'm pressing the numbers on the dialpad and the other party would be all WTF. and then i take the phone away from my ear and look at it and there's like a string of random numbers pressed. i use a Dialer One app for my dialer. never used to happen before. i'm on 4.3 right now, rooted.
thank you.

These two things are directly connected. There should be a line in the build prop that controls the delay. But the reasons that you're face dialing is two fold. One, because the proximity sensor is in a weird place in the left corner of the phone and two, because the delay is slightly too short. So if the corner of the phone is at an angle to your face, it pops on real quick. Making the delay smaller will make your face dialing much worse.

Thank you for that info. Although I'm pretty sure that I keep the phone in constant contact with my ear, I'll pay more attention to how I hold it to see if that's the issue why I face dial. As for the delay, I think it's too long for my liking. If there's a way I could change that I'd be grateful for that information. Thanks.
Have you checked your proximity sensor to see if it is registering properly? Use one of the sensor test apps.

Forgive me for a dumb question, but what is a build prop? So using xposed framework wouldn't work either?

A build prop is a document that holds a lot of your phones technical documentation. Like when you see a signature on here and it tells you the type of phone. That info was grabbed by tapatalk from the build prop. And if it had an option to do so, you should try it.

Make sure you have the setting checked. Also it wont alert you unless the screen is off.
The screen must be off and it also used the phone as a pedometer so you can test it by taking the pen out, turn the screen off and tap the phone on the floor.

I was at least 15ft & no alert for approx 2 minutes - that's enough time to leave the conf room, get on the elevator & lose that s pen forever...
I'll test again, maybe my screen wasn't off in time.

Tested mine with the tapping method. Seems to now work at 16 ft.

I just looked at this setting, and realized that I didn't turn it on.
It's not a function of distance from the phone, but more the number of 'steps' the phone counts when the screen is off.
I had the pen right next to my phone and shook it like a Polaroid picture. Eventually I got a strong buzzing notification.
Cool stuff!

Make phone ring loudly for one contact while silenced?

Every night I put my phone on silent so as not to be disturbed, however I'd like to make it so that if one specific contact calls or texts me multiple time's in the space of a few minutes the phone will go to max ringer volume but only for them. If someone could tell me an app or walk me through a tasker set up I'd be very greatful. Thank you

I use Llama to do that. Just create a silent profile (and control it using time and/or location) and add "noisy contact" to that profile. Very simple and works perfectly.

Does it make of so the contact has to call or text twice before the increase? Thank you for the response.

No, noisy contacts overrides the profile setting so they ring on the first try.
You could use this feature in the settings for calls, but I'm not sure if messages from the contact will be muted or not.

That's only a feature on Samsung ROMs precisely why I asked in the nexus 4 Q and A stock android doesn't have quiet hrs which is why I have this problem. Thanks for the reply though.

Actually it isn't only a feature on samsung roms, other roms have the feature as well. I'm using a nexus 4, that's PRECISELY why I replied to your thread in the nexus 4 q&a section.

Yeah I realised it was a theme, sorry for my slightly aggressive reply, my ROM doesn't have this feature and I don't want to leave the rom for it.
