NEEDS TASKER & (ROOT desired but not necessary)
I don't like Google Now most of the time.
I prefer the likes of Utter!, Eva, AutoVoice and Tasker
which uses offline voice recognition for messages, emails, memos, reminders & events
This saves battery and is usually faster.
I can now go to my desired application from saying "OK Google, Hello" with my Moto X
on standby with or without a data connection......no Google now needed!
I can then run an offline voice rec program such as a Tasker action, Autovoice, Utter or Eva.
In Tasker 2 easy profiles to enter,
For when mobile data on
(profile) event/variable set: variable %WIN value *voice*
(action)
System Volume 0
Kill App: App Voice Search / Use Root : on
System Volume 7
Load App "your app"
Task: Stop
For mobile data off - saves battery (most used as no root needed)
(profile) event/variable set: variable %WIN Value *sorry*
Net / Mobile data: on
Load App "your app"
Task: Stop
Say "OK Google, Hello" to your phone for fastest results
I'm no techie but if this can be improved let me know

My need to use voice recognition offline because much of the time I am out where there is no reception. I am brand new at tasker so I have a couple of questions about the above profiles.
- My Moto X is not rooted. Does the line < Kill App: App Voice Search / Use Root : on > require root? (It looks like it to a newbie)
- Does the line < Net / Mobile data: on > turn mobile data on? If so, wouldn't that mean that in fact I need reception and data plan?
Thanks to anyone who sees this and can advise me.
Sorry, I don't know much about this but I'm also trying to figure it out. There must be quite a few users out there interested in this. What's annoying is that Google supports offline voice dictation since jelly bean. One would have hoped local commands would work without data (like setting an alarm our composing a message).
I don't seem to follow the instructions above. I don't have tasker but I use llama a lot. I would get tasker if it means I can do this.
What's the significance of the variable?

OK figured this out. It's using tasker to look for the "Sorry we seem to be having data issues" error message during a no-data state.
Then tasker can kick off the offline voice app.
I've got it working and it works with utter OK - you will want to launch the utter shortcut to start listening immediately, so you may need the Autoshortcut plugin.
I think the enable data thing "Net / Mobile data: on" should be off..
In other words:
(profile) event/variable set: variable %WIN Value *sorry*
and Net / Mobile data: off
(action)
Load App "your app"
Task: Stop
I'm not sure why you need the task:stop, but it works with or without.
The accessibility thing is key, because it allows tasker to read the screen contents.

Where are you selecting "Net/Mobile data: off"? Is it a second profile? I can't seem to find that option. Also when you mean load app "your app"...does that mean the voice app? I use Aoutovoice for all my voice control stuff. I have everything running great with Tasker, autovoice, and google now api...but really want the offline touchless.
Thanks
This is where I find taskers ui a bit confusing. You want to set two conditions for the profile.
One is the sorry message, the other is the state that you have no data. To do this long press on the profile condition you have (i assume it's the win variable one) then add another condition.
Yes "your app" is whatever offline app you use. I use utter now, but auto voice should work too, just fire the recognize command?
You mention you have auto voice working with the Google now api, does that mean you're rooted using the xposed framework module?
Keep in mind that overall, this approach is a clever hack. I'm not sure what the implications are of having Tasker setup as an accessibility service, but that's the price one must pay.

I know to long press and add, but I'm not finding where the no data state is. I found mobile networks, but it only has 5 boxes with 2g,3g,3g-HSPA,4g, and invert. Would it be check all?
Yes, I'm rooted running xposed framework. With the google now api, I can use any command I have setup, with the screen of by saying "OK GOOGLE,...".
Thanks

I got it! Check all and invert will make it data off. You do have to say something right after "OK GOOGLE" for it to try and then it opens the Autovoice voice search box.
Cool. I don't use data so I just toggle off WiFi disconnected
Right now tho one disappointment is tasker is consuming 50 megs of ram

Solve this - shut down tasker and all processes, and restart. ~15meg usage.
This sounds great and all because I like using Utter. But how do we know if Utter is using the low power X8 speech recognition core or the S4 cores? Is there any way to keep a log of that info?

The touchless control is what opens google now. The googlenow api then takes over if its linked with autovoice/tasker. So, it's not actually running until touchless control activates it.

No, the touchless control app uses the low power processor. When touchless control activates Google now, then the googlenow.api activates whatever app its tied to

The low power cores are only used while the screen is out listening for the hotword. As soon as touchless control detects the hotword, the main cores are fired up anyway, as they are needed for the much more advanced tasks like continuous speech recognition and the subsequent search. So it doesn't matter whether it's Google Now or any other app that is started by touchless control - the low power core is only used to detect the hotword. So in other words: Yes, the low power core is still used since touchless control is still doing the hotword recognition.
OK sounds good then. I just wanted to clarify that. I hated using Utter on the Galaxy S4 with the screen off because it always killed the battery. I'll give this a shot and see how it turns out.

If you have root, you could use the Xposed module GoogleOfflineVoice to force offline voice recognition.

Hi
Is there any app that can be used as monitoring the data usage of each application?
On example how many kb using mail app, google talk, google maps etc...
So, per application data usage
Thank you
There was a thread asking the same question a while back and it seems the answer is no
I'd post a link but I'm still a newbie
I would like such a app myself - but as a workaround you can dial *#*#4636#*#* , click "battery protocol" (or something like that, my phone is in german...), in the first dropdown "network usage" and then click on the apps and it will tell you how many bytes the program sent/received.
Nice one, that let me see what it was that was using up so much data.
i have an ap called 1013 in this list, but when I click it, I get an error..
does anybody know what this could be?
because its bar is completely filled!!
there's also a bar for media, thats quite high, any ideas what this could be?
because I haven't used any music photo or movie app since I've stopped charging..

Or use the Spare Parts app which essentially does this but in a more user friendly way
I've been using software called Network Statistics. It does exactly what your asking but with a few quirks. It doesn't differentiate WiFi from mobile data so I had to reset the counter when switching from one to the other. The only way I've found to reset the counter is to pull out the battery.
That said, it helped me pinpoint fairly quickly what background app was ripping through my data allowance (foursquare).
It seems the author no longer supports it, but it's still available for 50p. http://www.appstorehq.com/networkstatistics-android-174793/app/buy

You need root for: eNETraffic
For what I can tell it only records 3G traffic
And it has the option to block internet access per application only on 3G (when on WiFi everyone allowed, on 3G some blocked)
Dan.
I use 'My Data Manager', it shows usaage by app and also by 3g and Wifi and has several months of data backed up.
There's a free version with ads and a paid one without.
See:
http://bit.ly/s86P3V
Or just falsh one of ICS roms. They've built in data usage monitor with limits, monitoring for each app and other cool stuff.
eNETraffic has new update that includes wifi. Works great. Do need root.

I'm using Tasker to turn off Mobile Data when on Wifi, set my phone in "Work" mode when I get to work (Silent, no Bluetooth), disable PIN lock when I'm at home, disable USB debugging when I'm away from home and reboot every morning.
The greatness of he program is that you can do pretty much anything with it. I currently I use it for 2 main things. I have set up a profile so automatically launches carhome ultra when it detects that I am connected to my cars bluetooth and I have it plugged into a charger. That way when I jump into the car I just have to put it in its holder and plug in the charger and I am good to go.
I also have created a 3 short cuts that have automated my "wifi calling" profile. One shortcut automatically forwards my number to a google voice number The second toggles airplane mode (so I don't kill my battery searching for a signal), activates wifi and logs me into groove ip. The final one automatically unforwards my number.
On my old G2 I also had a profile that launched a screen dimming program and clock/alarm program when it detected my home wifi and ac power. I used my phone as my bedroom clock
Hope this gives you some ideas
I have an NFC tag in my car and when I scan it, turns on Bluetooth, and opens the Assistant app. Then, depending where I am (checks if my Last WiFi connection was my house) it will ask where would I like to go. I say a place and it says ok let's go to %place name% or if I wasn't at home it will prompt me if I want to navigate home
Sent from my Nexus 4
I have in the past to automate tasks but with nfc task launcher I don't need it, of course instead I need nfc tags but it's more convenient for me.
Where to start?!! I currently have 14 profiles and over 25 tasks! I use for all sorts eg:
Sunrise and sunset - Gets these from a yahoo api every day and updates a minimalistic text widget
Sleep mode - Check in and out of Sleepbot, does all the sound etc too and sets a variable which I use for some other profiles that I only want to run when I'm asleep.
Car mode - When I am in the car it sets the ringer, turns vibrate off, sets screen to fully on and opens car home. Also uses the sun info from above and it it is dark outside will run Screen Filter to drop the screen brightness right down.
Car exit - When I leave the car it automatically stores the time and location so I can navigate back to the car (useful if I park somewhere unusual or in a big car park) and another widget keeps the time in case I am on a meter.
Work - Sets the sound when in range of work wifi
Various locations - A few like the gym and badminton club which check in to foursquare, go silent, enable secure lock screen and, when leaving, remind me to turn of my heart rate monitor.
Frost check - Check the weather evey hour at night and if it ever drops below freezing, pops a notification so in the morning I know if I need to allow more time to de-ice the car
Games/Gallery - When a game or the gallery is open it stops the screen from locking which is especially handy when showing photos to people
I also use a lot of these with NFC tags such as the sleep one and car.
And others! I'm always playing around with it and the scenes function allows you to create entire interfaces!

I am in the UK but they will ship to Canada. Alternatively, look for similar tags on eBay Canada but make sure to avoid Mifare 1k tags, they don't on the N4
Is it possible to tap two phones together and have one phone initialize hotspot using NFC?
There's a ton of things you can do with Tasker. I'm just using it to change my wallpaper. I've got a different one for sunrise, morning, daytime, sunset, and evening. Additionally, when it rains or the weather is overcast, I've got different wallpapers.
I think one of the best things about Tasker is cell triangulation for location. Basically a rough gps of your location to use all the profiles and settings at different locations and essentially no battery cost as it just pulls data your radio is anyway.
The only downside is your limitations are there because not all apps have plug ins. For example I'd like to setup a task for Rom toolbox to backup apps but that's not possible, I think.

I'm not going to say yes because I haven't done it BUT I'm sure it can, I'm pretty sure the primary function (detecting another nfc device) is built into android so tasker should be able to take that trigger and toggle wifi ap.

I agree the interface needs work but waiting for that is daft. It's all about automation and once the tasks are created you don't see the app itself very often. It's not pretty but I think that is vastly outweighed by how incredibly powerful it is.

Just use Greenify. Best app and has really good response. If you try this you'll never go back. It hibernates lots of apps and stops them from draining batt/data in the background remember to disable notifications in the background for all internet-related apps.
Greenify also works for ALL apps. Just add it to the grenify list.
It's the only app you're gonna need and is gonna solve your problem.
Also in settings, set the Data usage limit so you don't exceed it. Good luck

When I say "Hi Galaxy" with the screen off, S-Voice opens, but does not listen until I say the phrase a second time. Has anyone else encountered this? I am rooted, with Xposed installed.
Edit:
I'd really like to get to the bottom of this issue, if someone with some experience could give me some feedback. I believe I first attempted to use S-Voice after rooting with root de la vega. It has never opened in listening mode (launched from app drawer or with the screen off feature), even after upgrading to MJ7 (kept root with survival mode in SuperSU), or flashing Beans Rom in SafeStrap. This has led me to believe this is a hardware or kernel issue, but I'm not the most knowledgeable person about these things. Therefore, any feedback would be much appreciated! TIA

Same issue here, no luck with clearing data or cash for the app. I'd be fine with the Tasker to Google Search deal but I was having fun with the turning on/off bluetooth and wifi using voice and a few other features S-Voice has, despite being not as reliable. I just went ahead and installed utter to be able to get the functionality of both, but I can't say my battery life is all that great with so many different things going on at once now.

You might not want to close S-voice, but rather just open Google now on top of it. If you close it, I don't think the screen-off "Hi galaxy" command will work next time around.

Create a profile, select application, select S-voice, delect new task, new task, name it ..

In the task edit screen, create action, app, load app, and select Voice Search, and don't make any changes in the action edit screen.. make sure it's active on the profile tab, and try it out.. xda has a great tasker tutorial on youtube! Check it out!

When I say "Hi Galaxy" with the screen off, S-Voice opens, but does not listen until I say the phrase a second time. Has anyone else encountered this? I am rooted, with Xposed installed.
Edit:
I'd really like to get to the bottom of this issue, if someone with some experience could give me some feedback. I believe I first attempted to use S-Voice after rooting with root de la vega. It has never opened in listening mode (launched from app drawer or with the screen off feature), even after upgrading to MJ7 (kept root with survival mode in SuperSU), or flashing Beans Rom in SafeStrap. This has led me to believe this is a hardware or kernel issue, but I'm not the most knowledgeable person about these things. Therefore, any feedback would be much appreciated! TIA
Thank you for your feedback

Bump - OP updated
I am using Tasker to log and also control my G5 Plus connection to its charger (via a smart plug and Echo - plus other variations). It would be useful to refine the data and the way in which Tasker handles the "charger on" and "charger off" commands in my Tasker actions that eventually operate the smart plug if I could intercept the toasts from the "TurboPower"/Qualcomm app. Tasker requires that you name the app producing the toast - and here I had no luck trying to identify the relevant app generating the toasts - which is presumably the app controlling the quick charge system. So if anyone know what is the precise name of the app and how I can find it on my G5 Plus so that I am sure to correctly identify it for Tasker. I have been using Tasker for a few months but am not a genius at using it - preferring to adapt existing ideas for my own purposes - so my problem may be very easy to resolve for someone who has discovered what the app in question could be. Questions have been sent to Motorola on this topic but they did not seem to know what app they put on the OS to deal with the quick charge process!
The quick charge controller is actually part of the CPU. It's not an app.

Thanks for the info. So (since I cannot give Tasker the name of the app - as there is no app) I cannot use Notification Listener, for example, along with Tasker to capture and then use the toasts from the controller in any Tasker actions: is that the conclusion? (Perhaps I should try a screen capture and then use Variable Split etc. - but triggering a screen capture at the right time, e.g. when the toast announcing that the charge has finished, appears to be tricky).

I think that's in fact the conclusion.
I played around a bit with the charger and there's definitely no app starting when you plug it in.
It's been some time since I used Tasker but there should be another way to use the plugin process of the charger as a trigger.

Cheers. I did come across the updated Custom Setting action and so was very easy to make a toggle switch for turning on and off the Pointer Location option in the Developer Option settings. Off-topic, but might be of some interest. Will try the tasker forum.
