Hi,
After searching for days i'm giving up. Please help ?
What i want:
I wanna have a notification icon in the taskbar, just like the BT-icon:
"if GPS is active then show GPS-icon".
I understand that the trick is to monitor the use of the GPS Intermediate Driver. Who can and will help?
Thnx!
I hate to kick this, but please, can anyone of the developers enlighten me?
I'm gonna join the bandwagon for this, I would also like this feature.

Thnx! I hope more will join us, and more will dive in to this to actually get a solution
That's one of the things I'm missing!
Or maybe flash the notification light swiftly 3 times every 10 seconds to symbolize GPS activity.. My previous phone had such led and it was great to actually be able to see what's happening, or that what should happen actually does happen.
I still want this! Is there any developer....?
I want it to
I found it here. It worked on my Topaz but it would be nice if the icon is a satelite instead of just a red/yellow/green dots
I have contacted the author and hope he responds
Hello everyone.
I too needed an application like this and since I had no luck finding one on the market, I decided to write the app myself. You can find on the market by the name GPS Monitor Free by Illyrium. What the app does - it activates itself as soon as GPS is in use and deactivates when GPS is no longer in use. While GPS is in use, the app shows a notification icon with the satellites in view. For the moment this is all that the app does, but I am working to add some other features to it.
The app is free for the moment - and will be free (even the pro version) for everyone that helps me by sending me bugs/features.
If you have any ideas, you are more than welcome to pass them to me an I will try to implement them as soon as possible.
Cheers,
Adrian

Hello dragonro! I would love to try your app but i can't find it on the market. I've tryed different key words, different countries but no joy. I've searched on OpenMarket but i didn't found it there either... Where is it?

Hi
I'm looking for an app that autostart my Deskclock app when i connect my desire to usb especially when i put it into my dock!
is there a possible solution for this?
bumb
does no one know of an app that can change a profile or do a Dock connect when i plug in the power ?
I'll bump this, too.
This is something I've wanted for a while, too. I did a quick search on Cyrket and all I see are low rated apps that somehow need location & internet permissions, etc...No thanks. Not for a desk clock when I plug the phone in. Anybody else solve this yet?
one thing it should support the mcr r5 froyo sense rom
download setting profiles. It can tell between ac power and usb power. So in my dock it launches the desk clock, and in the car it launches the navipanel
I personally use "Tasker" (available in the Market), and it is SUPERB! It's a configurator/tweakers dream. So many possible combinations for what you may want, and the UI is great once you get the hang of each of the elements (read the help first!!).
It's about $3-4, but WELL worth it. You'll probably end up finding so many other ways to have your Android manage its self without any interaction by you (Tasker is basically a much cheaper, more powerful app like Locale).
Hope that helps!
for such tasks i'm using the app 'locale' incl. plugins. i've never found any better solution to control your device ...

the problem with locale is that it costs 10$ dollar and most of the plugins cost too
thanks for the apps i'll try them out
There is such an app for free floating around this forum. Don't ask me where it is 'cause i can't remember but a few moths ago somebody was asking about this and somebody wrote and app that put the phone into clock mode when it was docked, and it came with an app icon that turned the functionality on and off.
I downloaded it and it worked perfectly.
Hunt around here 'cause it was definately in the apps section of the desire forum!!
Hi guys,
I had a look for such a discussion but did not find sucha thread. I have the Chinese Rwatch M26 smart watch and iPhone 5 with iOS 8. Is it possible somehow to connect it to my device and get the push notifications on screen for messages, Facebook, email, etc. It works with Android phone, tested, but is there a way to do this with an iOS device? Currently I can only dial, take calls and that's it basically.
Thanks a lot in advance for your replies!
Do you have any idea? I found some apps which say they send all the notifications to a bluetooth device but do not seem to work.
Heard it is possible to get m26 to work with ios. I believe you need to jailbreak then go to Cydia. There you will find app to push notifications. Forgot name of app
Hi there, thanks for the reply.
Yes, I found BTNotificationEnabler on Cydia, but it does not seem to work with iOS 8. The menus are different and the Bluetooth options do not appear anywhere... Ano other options for an app which does this?
Best,
Rangel
Connect iPhone and RWatch M26
Hi, you need to install SmartBluePlus from the App Store and connect your phone with that app.
When you connect, it asks you to pair. When this succeeds you will get notifications you also get on you iPhone's lock screen. Good luck
I need help!! I bought a M26 Rwatch... When I plug it in to charge it keeps saying "charging error" and won't charge anymore.. Does anyone have any ideas??
application does not work on ios 8.0.2

Hi I've downloaded the Smartblue and Smart blue plus from the App Store and neither identifies my watch. Any suggested apps that will actually connect. I can make and receive calls but that's it. I even downloaded the btnotifier and nothing worked.
Thanking you for your suggestions/ help in advance.
Hi all!
Does anyone know how to not receive calls on my smartwatch?
I know its strange but I prefer use my phone to talk.
I only want to receive notifications and SMS (all normal function except communication).
I know how to transfer on the phone during a call on smartphone's screen, but I want this to be automatic.
If I unselect "call control" and "media control" in the phone's Bluetooth settings, I loose the Bluetooth connection.
Also, I want don't use "media", because I use Waze and I need the sound on the phone otherwise the sound goes on the watch.
thank you
works the same as on the u8 and all the other clones
you MUST have either media or phone audio enable, otherwise no connection, no notifications
they would need to fix this in the firmware, if that is possible at all...

Could you please elaborate the solution. I'm facing the same issue...its very awkward to talk on the smartwatch, especially if there are people around you.

Download and install: Tasker app. Differents way to get it.
I don't undertstand why, but I can continue to use it after 7 trial day...
And you need to program it. It's not so easy. You have to search and to pratice in this app in order to understand.
Find in attachement, some screenshot of my tasker.
Only the 3 first profiles are need to stop bluetooth during call.
In resume, when tasker see a call, you stop BT and you set a variable to memo BT watch was ON.
If no call and memo BT watch is ON, active BT.
Sorry for my english.
I am a relatively new Tasker user but I'm already a Tasker addict. I have like 8 - 10 plug-ins and no clue how to even wrap my brain around what I can do with them all! I do have about 20 profiles already and absolutely love it.
I thought maybe we could have a thread in here devoted to using Tasker with our Pixels. Some phone specific things may apply, considering our Android version and the existence of our Assistant. I'll share some profiles I have and feel free to share ones you find helpful!
1) When I go to Target, it automatically opens up Cartwheel app and my shopping list app, turns off GPS, and increases screen on time to 2 minutes before timing out. When I leave Target, it sets things back to normal and texts my wife that I'm leaving Target.
2) At work, my phone goes to vibrate mode and my WiFi/data are turned off along with location. I can't use my phone during work anyway (I teach) so it just kills my battery all day usually due to bad signal in my room.
3) If I text "FINDME" to my phone, it turns up the volume, blasts a song, turns on the screen and the flashlight. Upon finding it, a quick shake back and forth resets everything to normal.
4) My night mode turns sounds all off and turns on Blue Light filter.
5) If I open up Google Maps, my GPS goes to high accuracy mode and volume is turned up.
This is an awesome thread idea. I'm going to be messing around with it so I'll post once I come up with some good ones. Interesting to see what other people use it for.
For number 5 is it possible to have GPS turn on when opening google maps and then turn it back off when I fully quit the app? I keep my GPS off at all times.

Absolutely, you just toggle "Location Services" instead of "Location Mode". You'll need the free plug-in "secure settings" to accomplish this. That's a tremendous app, so I'd get the pro version if you don't mind the $1.50 charge. It opens up so many possibilities.
Speaking of which, I hope to see some awesome integration with the Google Assistant. Between the Assistant and Tasker, that would be an amazing duo.

Tasker is $2.99. Are we talking about the same app?
Secure Settings is free. I had it for weeks before I bought the pro version this week. I think the pro version was $1.50 though. Definitely not $2.99.

Tasker does have a free trial though. It's not available on the Play Store but you can download the APK on the developer's site. You can Google it and try it out. That's how I got addicted! Bought it within 12 hours. Haha.

Haha yup.I just got it. Watching YouTube tutorials now to learn the basics
6) One of my other profiles is when I plug in my headphones, it launched my music app (Gonemad Media Player) and turns the media volume to the level I like. Upon unplugging, the media volume is restored to normal and Tasker kills the app.

How specifically did you use Tasker to turn on the blue light filter?
Hm. I opened secure settings and saw this..
but root works for multiple other apps.
I love using having Tasker on my Pixel! I still haven't made as many plugins as I need to but once I get my head wrapped around its full potential I'll certainly make more tasks.
Right now I have: Off Mobile Data @ Home & On Wifi
Lower media volume after 10pm for my mobile games.
Turn off all sorts of things like bluetooth, wifi, location, when battery is below 25 (kinda defeats the purpose of android's built in power saver right?)
I like your Google Maps idea, and I think I'll do something like that too.
Hope to learn more task tips on this thread!

Systemless root.
Try the fix here, I believe it's the one that worked for me last time I had this issue.
https://dammit.nl/p/962
Edit.
Btw, I haven't had this issue since the original version of SuperSU was released for our phones.
Are you using an old version of root?
Or maybe it's because I'm on custom ROM's lately (selinux = permissive)

Tasker + Secure Settings = automation heaven.
I want to get into AutoApps someday too. Just haven't really sat down and learned the extra functionality though.
Been waiting for better OK Google functionality to come around before I bother learning anything heavy duty.
As it is, I have six Tasker profiles that meet most of my needs.

Secure settings hasn't been updated in a long time and that's what the problem is here. It doesn't know about systemless root so it looks in the wrong place for it. There is a work around for it but I don't have a link handy at this time. Some say it works for them and some say it doesn't. I haven't tried it yet so I can't say one way or the other. If I can find a link to the thread, I'll post it here unless somebody else does first.
I used to use it all the time for turning on GPS whenever Maps or Ulysee Speedometer was started. It worked great.
Also use Tasker to return to the home screen after hanging up a call. I always hated that hanging up the phone would return me to the phone app and I'd have to press the home or back button to get out of it. A small annoyance, I know but it was just one of those things I got sick of and with necessity being the mother of invention, I took care of it with Tasker.

AutoApps is worth it. Opens up so much more. I listen to music all day long and had a profile made up where you could text me "#current" and it would respond back what I was listening to or if no music was playing. Then I found AutoSpotify. So, if nothing was playing you could text "#listento" and a song/artist/album, it would check to make sure headphones were in and that I wasn't in a call, then open whatever was suggested in Spotify. I primarily use Pandora but create playlists in Spotify so had another profile that I could long press volume down and it would pull the track info from Pandora, give me a list of my current playlists on Spotify, and give me an option to add it to one of them or create a new playlist.
I started noticing that I was missing texts (I would get the notification sound but would have no notification and no new text in Textra) so I scrapped anything that needed to intercept new texts. Created a little pop-up with %SMSRF and %SMSRB and sure enough it would display a new text but there'd be no trace of it on my phone.

Most of my Tasker use with my previous phone was to save battery for longer standby times, or to automate routine tasks. I've been using the phone for a couple months without Tasker, but these are probably what I'd like to put back on first.
1) Automatically turn off Wifi when not plugged in after a set time with the screen off. I've had the Pixel chew through my battery a few times from accidentally leaving Wifi on, so this is the biggest one to start using again.
2) Turn autobrightness on or off depending on light sensor reading when screen turns on. I'm generally not a fan of autobrightness, so I had my prior phone use a set brightness in lower-light situations and to turn on autobrightness when the light sensor reading exceeded a pre-selected value.
3) Turn off Bluetooth after set parameters. My previous phone couldn't cast to the TV, so my prior routine will need to change to allow casting.
4) Turn on Bluetooth in the car and launch navigation or another app. My prior phone had a phone-specific car dock that I used to launch the car-specific task, so I'll need to come up with some other way to determine the phone is in the car.
5) Automatically sync when plugged in and connected to home Wifi. I have sync turned off, so I just have Tasker automatically sync when charging at home.
6) Toggle 4G LTE on or off to save battery when not needed. I used Gravitybox for this sort of thing previously, so right now I'm not sure what I could use for changing the cellular settings on the Pixel.

You can use AutoTools. Worth the $1 or whatever it costs.
7) If the screen is on, the phone is in landscape mode, and Google Maps is open, the phone kicks into driving mode (not all my cars in the family have BT so I went a different route so I can use this wherever with my universal phone mount). This increases volume, turns on GPS, increases screen brightness, and allows me to wave my hand past the proximity sensor to turn off the screen (not locked though, so it will still open hands-free with my trusted voice plus OK Google). That last part required a shell command and root access. It's awesome though.
