Help with GPS and sat nav

Hi all,
I have Co-Pilot on my X10 and was wondering if there is a way to stop incoming texts and calls displaying whilst navigating? I assume putting the phone in flight mode will stop the GPS receiver?

Yes you can. Install Switch Pro Widgets from the market (or free from the apktor) and there is an option in Airplane mode that only tuns off signal only, and you can keep your wifi or your gps on.
Hope it helps.
Regards

Legendary effort. That worked. Just a shame I have to have 4x1 widget but it will def do the trick so thanks very much

Why using a 4x1 widget when you can press the power button for a few seconds and select Airplane mode from there?

If you select airport mode from the phone settings it will be disable all wireless connections, from switchpro widgets you can select only "turn off signal only"
Cybrid, if you update your Swtchpro widgets to 1.8.3 (from apktor) iyou can select widgets 1x1, 1x2, 1x3 and 1x4. So select 1x1 and it is done!

managed to get 1.8.3 and now one button. Thanks so much

My Solution to Help Stop Screen Freezes (Tasker app)

Since a lot of people suggest disabling the g-sensor to prevent the screen freezes I thought I'd try something.
I don't want to have my rotation disabled as it's very handy to have. So what I do is use an app called Tasker. It's not free, but there is a 7-day trial available.
Basically I have it set to disable screen rotation every time the screen is off..and so far I haven't had any screen freezes. It may be coincidence, it may not be. I'm not exactly sure if the app does disable the g-sensor or does something else, but so far so good.
For those that don't know about Tasker...it's probably the best app that will ever be made for Android. You can make your phone do almost anything.
For example, I use it to:
When I get home, Wifi turns on and 3G is turned off. When I leave home, Wifi turns off and 3G turns on....same for work.
I have it disable wifi, 3g and screen rotation at night when I'm in bed.
It enables GPS when I launch maps or navigation, and disables GPS when I close the app.
And those are very basic ones...
The Tasker wiki has many more advanced "profiles" you can use:
Code:
Lock An Application
Start the Day with a Particular Application
Battery Full Alert
Launch Music App When Headset Inserted
Launch Menu of Music Apps When Headset Inserted
Keep screen awake when using the keyboard
Speaking Clock for Android 1.5
Control Keyguard (scroll to unlock) when Power is Connected/Disconnected
Keep Multiple Backups of Tasker Config
Change Ringtone on Every New Call
Mute in Meetings
Hold Ringer Volume Down
Auto-Respond To SMSs At Night
Change Volume Levels during Different Times of the Day
Check Data/SMS/Minute Usage With Carrier While Sleeping
Temporarily max brightness of screen during Incoming Call

Notification Reminder Pulse
Locate your phone using SMS and google maps
Lock your phone and locate it by SMS and sound
A full talking clock

Periodic Data Check (Juicedefender Replacement)

Or you can simply create your own...there is a learning curve, but once you get a feel for it, it's VERY powerful! It can control almost every part of your Android phone.
There's a decent thread with more examples on xda in this thread.
I realise this is a software post, but it's main aim was to point out a way of disabling rotation to help with screen freezes

Hey,
thanks for this thread, i have downloaded tasker now.
Can you post your code for disabling gsensor when screen is off?
//EDIT: Sorry, its very easy.. i think i can create it by myself

New Event profile > Display off is the Event. Action is disable rotation

I have done it like you and added a task which enables the rotation if screen is on, is this correct?
I have used the phone now and i got freezes again, but not so much.. i think.

@the_scotsman
Thanks for the suggestion, I've seen a few people mention this app before but now I finally downloaded it. I'll play around a bit to figure out some combos, but one quick question..
Is this going to be something running in the background sucking up battery and memory or is it just like running scripts? What do you think? I'll run current widget once I get some tasks going to see happens, just wondering if you've found anything out yet.

It depends on what profiles you set up...if they involve wireless, it will enable wireless every so often to check access points etc....or if you are using a location profile, it will enable gps every so often to check your location. You can change how often everything polls in the settings.
I have mine as per the first post, so it does scan for wireless every so often, and I havent seen any change in battery usage.

ty for the quick reply scotsman, I ll report back in a day or two.

Tried this, but didnt work
I tried many different versions of kernels but in all if I keep my phone on standby (screen off) for a long time, say 20 mins, my phone freezes, My hardware buttons still glow on press, but phone never wakes up, any Ideas??

Even you disable display rotation, the sensor is still active, just use Gscript and disable sensor, you won't get any more freeze.

I was just about to write exactly the same words!
Scotsman - can you tell if Tasker can run a custom written script, upon some event? Then we can use it to turn off the gsensor!

Finally seems to be workin!!I made 2 changes:
1) Upgraded my radio from 2.08 to 2.12 (I recommend this one)
2) Stopped GSensor with Gscript

Another issue,
After I restart the sensor via script, photos in album wont rotate anymore!!
I did a `ps -ef|grep akmd` and the process is running, any thoughts??
edit: it works after restart!!

did you use the free gscript? cause mine says needs su:true

Your solution is great thanks... i did something slightly different : using tasker, autorotation is enabled only for apps that I want too, like gallery. Rest of the time, its off and working great that way too.

Tasker - automate your phone

One of the best apps in the Market for android is Tasker. Needless to say what transformation cand your phone get by using this app. You can see that here:
http://tasker.dinglisch.net/
and you can get it from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
I was just trying to find a collection of profiles for O1 and it seems there isn`t one, so why not having it right here.
So let`s get the best from our O1 by sharing the profiles we can use for different tasks. Practically there is no limit to what we can do with the phone using that app.
I also recommend you should post your system configuration because some tasks may not work on some roms, kernels etc.
LET YOUR SMARTPHONE BE SMART!
For people using ICS Roms, go to sttings>language and input method>text transformation result and select Pico TTS so you enable voice on Tasker.
I`ll start with a simple profile to make you phone stop ringing by turning it face down:
For this Context, you would choose State, then pick Orientation. You'll get the options you see at left. For this example, "Face Down" is a pretty deliberate action you take with your phone.
For the tasks, you can add "Bluetooth" and "WiFi" from the Net menu, set to Off, "GPS" from Misc set to Off, and set the volumes for "Media Volume" and "System Volume" to 0 from the Audio menu. If you'd like, you can re-order the tasks in priority by pressing and dragging them up the chain. In this case, I moved the volume-to-0 tasks up higher, since silencing the phone was the most important thing to do. Hit Done, and you're all set.
And there you go! Just flip the phone on it`s face to make it silent.
All the profiles listed below can be found here
http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index

Am I the only one who thinks that an app doing something at absolutely anything you do with the phone, this is not draining, it just uses 100% of the CPU when you flip the phone...
And lets not mention that, to make phone silent when turned upside down means it has a permanent wakelock, and sensor constantly finding what is the position etc...
At the end, you will have a very smart phone, but you won't be able to answer a call, because when answering phone must change all the settings, and then reboot, and... whatever, this thing sucks! Just like juice defender, but it is oriented 100% on losing performance and battery and control over the phone...
Oh you can try to make it do a factory reset every day if it is so smart

Read first, post after. Tasker app does not keep your phone awake as most tasks are set to trigger while it is awake and the display is on. Like the task to open automatically wifi when you open your browser or xda app and set it off after closing those apps. And when setting triggers based on power settings or time, the wakelocks are not constant, being activated just like alarm wakelocks. In fact you can set smart alarms too. Or actions based on calls/sms/mms received from specific ppl at specific times etc., or actions based on gestures set by you, proximity sensor ...
Tested wakelocks with BBStatus and no wakelocks, the phone goes to deep sleep. Tested cpu freq with Cool Tool and max freq is used only when starting the triggered app or doing the task set. In the rest of the time the freq oscillates normally.
And please do not make comments on any app based on how other apps behave. Try it then post.
If anyone is using this app, post your profiles or the ones you think are usefull.

nice thread! let me share my fav profiles
@vlt
Yea, you are the only one who thinks it because otherwise the app wont get 4-5 stars at always if it is battery consuming also, just because the developer had explained clearly how the tasker consume battery. its in the userguide inside and im vrry satisfied with it.
@voyager
tasker is just amazing to me ive been using it for long because it really makes my phone even smarter.
undoubtedly yes, using sensors as a context is the most battery comsuming but we can Limit the use of its detection by ourselves. not mentioning its pre-installed functionality that it wont detect when screen off, for your silent mode thing we can add another context - how about only when our launcher is in the foreground? that makes things even easier
now im glad to share my most frequently used profiles (not giving you guys my private ones XD) including
- vibrate 0.3 second with a little toast msg when power is plugged
- vibrate 0.3 sec and show how much battery left with toast when power is unplugged
- weekdays auto vibration mode in the morning
- auto rotation only on browser
- temporarily disable lockscreen when specified apps are opened (my default set for u is calculator)
- CM7 camera anti-flickering (good for those who OC with stock kernel )
- brightness 80% when camera activates and restore after exit
although gestures and proximity sensor contexts are SUPER COOL, other than the time i show off to my friends xD, ive always been avoiding the sensors to eliminate any chances of over using them and cause batteries.
so, i guarantee my profiles are super battery friendly....
hehehe you must be tempted to download immediately? do it! tell me what do you think of my favourite profiles which are always activated on my P500
to import, unzip my zip and u get xml files. go to tasker, long press "profiles" tab, import, choose the xml. done!
lol dont worry abt the little tip, Miasmic never gives malicious tasks
Happy tasking!

I suppose camera anti-flickering profile uses the OC task and downclocks the phone when opening camera right?

How do you change OC on it?
.........

Set a profile which is based on a context on which the task will trigger, for example when open camera, set task to set clock to 600 Mhz, then set exit app task to reset the clock back to your usual OC freq.
You can play like that with almost everything on you phone.

Look under task>net. If not there then no.

I can't get it executes the task, the notification keep saying no active profiles. Imported missmic XML profiles (thanks to miasmic). please help, thanks....

Try setting some simpler tasks like start wifi when opening browser. Miassmic`s tasks can be set manually too.
Here`s another profile
Enable WiFi when at Home
Context: State –> Cell Near
Tap the “Start” button and move around your home as your area may be covered by several cells (the “<” sign represents the tower you’re currently connected to). You may stop it after few minutes.
Action: Net –> WiFi
Another profile which sets up a shortcut on home screen for taking instant photos, without opening camera app (point and shoot)
Long-press on the Home-screen > Shortcuts > Task
Action: Media –> Photo Series Time (So that new photos don’t overwrite the previous one and every new photo will have the time attached with its name.)
If discrete is checked, there will be no sign of the picture being taken.

Profiles i use
I attached some of my usual profiles.
What they do:
Missed call> after any missed call with display locked the phone vibrates 0.7 sec than waits one minute and says "you had one call x minutes ago" every minute for 30 minutes. Profile must be used with display unlocked profile
Display unlocked> if you had a missed call and unlock the phone the missed call profile stops
Charging>when connected to AC/usb (can be set to either or any) phone will vibrate 07 sec and say "charging"
Battery full>when connected to AC/usb (can be set to either or any) and battery reaches 100% the phone will say "battery full"
Profiles can be improved or modified easy to reach anyones expectations.

This application has a few problems like battery drain .
Another one is UI....it's a bit unfriendly by the way the cool thing is that you have that if :
if condition1 = or anything with condition 2 then execute .

Yap, a bit unfriendly, but once you now how...

Hi,
On cm 7.2, how do you set tasker to enable or disable pattern lock?
I'm on cm 7.2 since yesterday on my Desire. It's my first time on cm, actually. Before that, I used to be on HTC Desire specific roms. I'm rooted.
I've been using Tasker for quite a while, and by now I have a number of profiles that make me feel my phone is smart
Now, the big problem with Tasker is that it spoils you by doing all sorts of things automatically for you. And when a profile no longer works and you have to do things manually, you get really annoyed
And so, in that context, I have the following profile :
Profile : Home
Context : Cell Near
Variable Set %HOME to on
Wifi Set On
Secure Settings Configuration Pattern Lock disabled
Previously, before I switched to cm 7.2, this used to work perfectly, with GO Launcher and stock pattern lock. Now that I'm on cm 7.2 also with GO Launcher, Tasker can no longer act on pattern lock.
Any idea anyone?
Thanks,
Egg
SOLVED :
I solved my issue by complety removing Secure Settings and re-installing version 1.2.2 from Google Play.

So I am thinking about buying this app but.....
This app is incompatible with your device.

Hi Alturigo,
There are apps in the store who can save battery by turning off wifi, 3g etc. with widgets. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ijinshan.kbatterydoctor_en&hl=nl
You can use airplane mode too but it disable phone calls.

Going one by one I can already do it (quick settings, widgets), but I want a single button that will switch off everything I want with one click.
I expected to find this in GravityBox (it has everything!) but if there is an option I don't see it.
Any easy way or I need something like Tasker?

i will tell you about my set up. i have automatic brightness, that works for me
i have gravity box for toggle 3g/2g on data on/off
i have auto sync free to enable all sync when wifi is on.
everything else can be toggle on off by gravity box toggle on notification area (i have the option to open setting on drop down menu if there are on notifications). you can also find some toggle programs on the play store

HTC U11 - Oreo 8.0 Buglist

I'm creating this thread to collect bugs found in the Oreo software that devs can take a look at for their ROMs, and possibly report to HTC depending on importance.
My first bug is cosmetic. The app icons are not consistent at all, and this goes further than the home screen launcher. If you hit the share button, the size of the icons vary, some big and some small.
My second bug is a little more annoying, and I'm not sure how to replicate. I was using Google Maps in and out of PiP mode (I drive Uber, so I come in and out of Maps constantly), and after some extensive switching, the PiP app wouldn't maximize, and my Recent Apps panel would not activate. The actual recents button could still activate multi-window, but it wouldn't cycle through the last two apps or activate the Recents carousel. The behavior returned to normal after a reboot. I am currently stock rooted, but I'm quite certain that has nothing to do with this issue. I will report if this happens again, and pay more attention to any possible causes. I might report this one to HTC.
My third bug is cosmetic, but a little on the annoying side. When switching Bluetooth audio profiles (found in dev options, for those who don't know), the codec that is displayed doesn't change, but you still hear the difference in audio. Also, aptx HD doesn't work for me. When selected, I hear no difference in the sound.

Ok....so my nav buttons are not working, but my home button is still working....am In the only one who is experiencing this? It is very sporadic, and fixes with a reboot.

PIP is not convenient to use now. For example, you can open youtube.com in chrome, request desktop site, play some video in fullscreen, press home button, then you get your PIP feature.

After update my battery reduction too much..

Maybe not exactly bugs, but a few things that bother me are how ugly the icons are and that it's using the default notification sound when I'm on low battery and it plays the notification sound coming in and out of night mode as well. I don't need to be notified with a sound about coming in and out of night mode and I'd prefer the regular buzz buzz sound of the low battery rather than thinking I got a message of something.

I hate the persistent notifications of things running in the background or drawing over... Not a bug, but a 'feature'.

It might seem a weird thing to do but try clearing cache and data from Google play services, playstore etc. I remember when I turned off all permissions to playservices my buttons stopped working as well except home button. Worth a try.

Probably more a feature than a bug, but I miss being able to pull down the notification shade and toggling between Do Not Disturb, Priority Mode, and Normal. Now tapping the icon just turns on Priority Mode. I can't seem to find an easy way to turn on Do Not Disturb without long-pressing the icon. Does anyone else know a better way?

Now tapping the icon just turns on Priority Mode. I can't seem to find an easy way to turn on Do Not Disturb without long-pressing the icon. Does anyone else know a better way?

Because I have a smartwatch, I'm constantly in DND mode that I activate during phone's initial setup with Vol. Down...

Maybe not exactly bugs, but a few things that bother me are how ugly the icons are and that it's using the default notification sound when I'm on low battery and it plays the notification sound coming in and out of night mode as well. I don't need to be notified with a sound about coming in and out of night mode and I'd prefer the regular buzz buzz sound of the low battery rather than thinking I got a message of something.

You can turn off the night mode notification. I set it to still show the icon in the top bar but not make a sound. It took a while to find, and I forget where it is. Maybe the notification settings for the system app.

When the screen is off and you double click the power button to access camera, it will not pop up with a preference choice (assuming you have more than one camera installed) unless you time it exactly with putting your fingerprint on the scanner

My shortcut options when you long press an icon are completely gone on every launcher.
Edit: Suddenly works. Odd.

My phone's bluetooth connects with my car's. Tried to play spotify But the audio plays on my phone still. My car sees th title of the song, just for display....Wasn't like this before the update... Must be the bluetooth 5.0 thing?
