I use my phone in the car for navigation, music, etc. However, not every trip requires me to have the phone display on. If I'm running into town, I don't need navigation of course.
However, I also like the Always On Display, but in the car the phone is in landscape orientation, and Samsung couldn't be bothered to make the AOD orient itself in anything but portrait mode, as I'm sure everyone is aware of.
What I'm wanting, and asking, is there a way using Tasker, Automate, Automateit, etc. to toggle the Always On Display off when my car dock app launches, and then turn it back on again when the car dock app closes?
I tried using all three of those with no luck, I just don't understand some of the complex "languages" they use to describe processes and such. If anyone could help me with this I would greatly, greatly appreciate it.
Same question.
Any ideas?
In Tasker, use any method that allows you to set "aod_mode" system variable
I'm currently using the (old and unsupported but still working for some of its features) Secure Setting Tasker plugin
Here's the setup to set AOD Mode to "on":

Set the value to "0" to disable

when playing music either with windows or the audio plugin it cuts off when my mugol locks or when slide to unlock comes on. how can i keep it from cutting off?
Yep, HTC is going after the iPhone with an audio player that shuts down when the phone goes into suspend mode
You have two options:
1. Go into Settings/System/Power/Advanced and uncheck "Turn device off if not used for"
But then you'll run into another issue. HTC's version of turning off the LCD to conserve power only dims it about 90%, thereby draining your battery faster than you can listen to Britney's entire album.
2. Download a sleek application called spShutXP which allows you to completely shutdown the LCD whilst keeping the device fully operational. You simply press the power button to bring the screen back up. Another nifty feature is that it also adds a "display switch" which you can map to one of your buttons or launcher for quick LCD on/off action. Some screen grabs:

Nice, much appreciated. i will install and let you know you how it works out.
Just sharing what I found:
Screen Rotator detects the orientation of the device and uses its built-in configuration dialogues to create rotation behavior rules for specific applications, with an extended option to blacklist and whitelist un/wanted programs. A very neat feature is that it will turn the screen off if the device is placed face down but it also has a great option to prevent the screen from going off automatically if the device is not perfectly laid down flat (otherwise, when flat, normal behavior occurs).
After downloading and installing it to Device, it will stay resident after launching and get the device orientation in order to properly rotate the Windows environment, though it has options for minimizing and hiding.

P.S. Hope the real developer will notice this thread (unless he has done so), and maintain it, after deleting this thread completely and openning a new one, as this is a great application with some extra cool functions, compared to SKKV Software’s GSen.
Noticed the thread is there ..... ADMINS ... kindly remove this thread completely, thank you.
This is more of a work around to the problem of not having a compatible software app for the SGS to easily Switch between the different data modes to either save battery or prevent unnecessary 3G data on limited data plans
(I tried all the 2G/3G switchers and other alikes, but none were compatible with our SGS)
There's a simple way to Turn Off G/2G/3G/H without going into Air Plane mode is by simply creating a null or empty APN setting profile like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
using the same method you can create an APN profile that is only for MMS, this way you can still get SMS/MMS and Phone calls, without incurring extra data or wasting power on GPRS/EDGE/3G/3.5G
I used APN on/off fro Market....works great.

ahh... great suggestion, this one actually works!
APN on-off Widget
all the other ones i've tested previously didn't do what it's supposed to do, all of them only takes you to the APN page with was kinda useless
added to my list of good apps

I use Llama on my Defy+ (Kayant's Slim Bean 3.1.0 ROM) to monitor my wifi for a minute every X minutes (it's more complex than that, but this explanation will do). However, it appears that the wifi check times out after the phone goes to deep-sleep.
Reading around I found Deep Sleep Battery Saver's thread, which seems to imply that wifi will not work when the phone is in deep-sleep.
I do not want to use Deep Sleep Battery Saver as its behaviour is not as flexible as the scripts I have in Llama. Thus, I'd like to be able to turn on/off deep-sleep from within Llama (either by calling an application that does it, or invoking an Android Intention that does).
Anybody knows if what I want to do is possible, or will it require a change to llama itself?
EDIT: Thanks! I know how to fix it now I am trying a different Wi-Fi Keep Alive app, though, we'll see how that goes.
Re: [Q] Llama: How can I enable/disable deep-sleep mode?

There is an option in WiFi-Advance- Keep WiFi on during sleep: Set that to always

Hi,
I like to quick window cover but the app choice and the accidental swipes whilst in my pockets are a bit irritating. I've been trying to make a custom quick window setup and pretty close so far:
At the moment I use Tasker's proximity and light sensors to open a second launcher with my own widgets and shortcuts etc, on task exit it reloads last app or default launcher. Works pretty well but the proximity/light sensors aren't a great way of activating the task as they pick up accidental inputs.
My questions is re the built in quick window sensor - I am assuming its magnetic? Can Tasker (or a plugin or tweak) have access to this sensor?
If so the possibilities are endless for tweaks and customisations through Tasker - cant seem to find anything though...

as far as i can tell it's magnetic, there is a round disc under the lining of the quick window cover right near the hinge (see attached)...I agree with you, the app selection could stand to be expanded!! I don't know if tasker can access this sensor but I'm interested in your findings!
