Hi,
I was wondering, can I put a code on my contacts and my messages?
I just dont like it when people are playing with my phone, how easy it is for them through my contacts and messages.
Never had this problem with previous phones (well it isn't a REAL problem, just a hindrance), cause there you had to go through at least 2 or 3 clicks to see them.
Anyone know any software I can install for this? Or how I can enable it?
Im running the stock rom btw, should it matter...
Put the main pin code in Settings & Lock or...
...don't give other people your phone!
I've never heard of something which locks just the items you mention, sort of goes against the point of an easy to use, easy to access phone UI.
I think I saw a Samsung phone which had it, everything was open on the phone, just the text messages required a pin. I saw it and loved it.
And its mainly now that I have a new phone that everyone wants to see it and use it, and I don't want to be prick and say no =)
As for a main PIN, I do have that.
what you got to hide!?
yes samsungs (well at least use to) enable you to set codes for individual programs. eg texts, pictures, videos etc etc. not seen another phone that does that though. tbh its good with have a lock code at all as alot of phones dont even have that!
best thing to do is turn touch flow off so its just the windows today screen, then they have to scroll trough your programs etc to get to contacts/msgs
Hey everyone, I just got my DVP in the mail today, first time wp7 user. I've been trying to find some apps for it that may be useful and haven't had any luck.
First I've thought about some sort of tile that lets me control the wifi. If you move around a lot like I do, you don't want to have to enter settings and turn on the wifi then look for a network, select, then go back you what you were doing. Or if you just want to save batteries and only turn it on when you need it, then turn it off again.
Has anyone seen anything like this yet?
Thanks

Unfortunately there is not a "wifi switch" app. And our phone is not supported by developers so we do not have any homebrew made for our phone...........yet. I still hold out hope
A live-tile to toggle WiFi activity is a great and very useful idea, as I am also constantly changing it. It's not exactly an issue specific to the Dell Venue Pro, you might have much better luck asking in the main WP7 development section, someone just might take you up on your idea there.
in the meantime just pin the settings tile to the start screen for fast access
While my RD title might mislead you - I was an avid HTC user, fan and developer for years - I changed to S8 this year and to my surprise the Do Not Disturb options are Samsung Custom, or lack of them to be precise. So how one can set up multiple rules for DND (says weeknight / weekends / until next alarm ) without the help of 3rd party apps. I know Android stock has these options, HTC 10 (what i've used before s8) as well, Samsung in its mighty wisdom removed them for some reason
And please do not send me to 3rd party apps (most of them needing a License for more than one profiles) Since in Android starting with M it is there IMHO what Samsung did is a downgrade from what stock Android offers in regards to DND rules customization.
I have the international version of the S8 and it does indeed have DND rules under Sound and Vibration.

international here as well and yes there are rules but you can set only one rule (you select the days you want and start / end time) but I can't find how to set say Sunday - Thursday 23.00 - 7.00 Fri-Sat 23.30 - 9.00. at best i can set for all days same start / end time
Thing I'm finding too on my AT&T S8 is DND doesn't seem to enable after reboots and I need to go in the settings... Toggle something, then when it's scheduled it will enable itself til the next reboot.

Funny thing, I had multiple rules on my G5. I used smartswitch to transfer my stuff to the S8 and my rules appear to have been copied over. The only problem is that there is no way to change or delete them.
None of the stock Samungs S8's have the option to set more than one profile for DND regetably.?

That's Google restore merit. Resorted mine as well but no option to change them anymore

None of the Samsung it seems. Tested on wife's S6 and is the same.
I know I might seem to be making a big deal over such a small thing but why take something and reduce its functionality just for the sake of making your own customized version is beyond me
Who knows? Just a Sammy thing I guess, just think it could be worse.. could be missing all together.

My Custom doesn't work.
My life schedule has changed so I didn't notice the scheduling disappearance, but 6 months ago that would have really irked me.
My problem is Custom doesn't work. It's set up exactly as it has always been. The exact same list of favorites. But, it doesn't make a peep. The texts will show up on the screen but they don't beep, and the phone doesn't ring. I have a parent in extraordinary ill-health and this is close to me getting a new phone since I'm still in my 14 days.
Android setting still there, just hidden
There's a YouTube video on this, called "How to add multiple do not disturb rules on S8/S7/S6 Nougat/MM Touchwiz". I would link it, but as a guest, I can't url. You have to download a third party app to access the settings, but I can still use the shortcut to the hidden setting after deleting that app, so other than letting you explore more settings on the phone, the app is not necessary for the Do Not Disturb function to work.
You can download QuickShortcutMaker and search automatic rules
I hope the following info can help somebody:
Samsung released Good Lock 2018, in which it has a submodule named Routines, you may use it to set multiple DND rules, basically a stripped down and less powerful version of Tasker, but it is Samsung official, free and I see in some cases it works better than third party apps.
You should be able to find it in Samsung apps store or you can get it from APK mirror.
Rules removed after reboot

I used your trick to create the missing rules in my Galaxy S7 G930L (Samsung's Android version only allows a single rule). Nevertheless the rules are removed anytime I reboot hte phone.
Any idea about how to fix them forever?
I own a rooted phone

How did you manage to do this? I am trying to do this now on the S10+ yet I cannot find any way to add a rule. I get to the screen (I think) but it says no rules added and that is all...
I seem to remember at some point I was fiddling with the settings and I am sure I saw something about apps that auto-start and it was possible to turn off certain apps that auto-start, but I cannot locate that option anywhere. Maybe it was not even this phone!
Then I thought I saw an option to easily stop apps from a long list of them, maybe I just had a dream?
Any ideas what I'm talking about?
Hello Everyone
This is my first post to this site, so I'd firstly like to extend a hearty "hello" to you all and a big thank you for taking the time to read my post.
As the title suggests, I'm looking for a means to enable GPS remotely, on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge using Tasker. I never have GPS on because I rearely (if ever) need it, and it saves battery; but this doesn't help me if I lose my phone, or if its stolen. In order for Google's 'Find my Device' or 'Lookout' to find my phone with any degree of success, GPS needs to be on. But, I won't be able to do this if I don't have my phone.
I'm looking for a means to enable this feature remotely using Tasker. I don't mind what the trigger is i.e. e-mail to my account with a specific subject line, a text from another phone etc. Just so long as I can enable it remotely. I should point out however that my phone is not rooted as yet, however I am happy to do this if it is necessary.
Prior to posting here, I made sure to research into the issue, and a few posts suggested using an app called 'Secure Settings' in conjunction with Taskers 'Run Shell' feature, and the following commands to enable GPS:
Code:
settings put secure location_providers_allowed +gps
settings put secure location_providers_allowed +network
Before using the Secure Settings app, Tasker wouldn't let me do this, stating that the ability to do this had been disabled from an earlier Android version, but after installing it and selecting the option to allow secure access to GPS, it then allowed me to do it. However, that being said, the commands don't do anything, and do not enable GPS on my phone.
I don't suppose anyone here knows how to achieve what I'm looking to do, and could provide some basic step-by-step instructions on how to achieve it? I would certainly be very grateful.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post and I appreciate any and all feedback you may have.
All the best,
Malachor.
