Leopantro:

Interesting. You could set up a profile that uses the cell Mast around the places you regularly visit. Thus, when the phone identifies those cell masts it will keep the brightness in indoor mode but when you are out of the cell Mast region it will turn the brightness to outside mode.

Using cell mast Info instead of GPS location would save battery. You would have to read up on how to set it up though

cool, I found a partial solution, I linked the desired brightness level to my proximity sensor. when ever I close the proximity sensor, screen goes as bright. This app is awesome.

Leopantro: Here are a few examples to start with

1.Automatically display
music menu when you plug
in your headset.

-Context>State>Headset
Plugged.
-Tasks>Add Task>Action
Categories>App>Load
App>Music Player.

2. Automatically increase
brightness while phone
rings!! (specially helpful in
the sun!!)

-Context>Event>Phone>Phone
Ringing.
-Tasks>Add Task>Action
Categories>Display>Display
Brightness>set level to 220
-(add another task)>Action
Categories>Tasker> Wait>15
seconds
-(add yet another
task)>Action
Categories>Display>Display
Brightness>set level to your
normal level.

3. Keep full brightness
while charging the phone!!
-
Context>State>Power>Source
set

My phone already does these tongue

Adds a media oriented homescreen when you plug in a headset

5. Using sleepbot app
automatically to track your
sleep time and calculate
your sleep debts!!

-Context>Time>From
23.00>To 05.00
-Tasks>Action Categories>3rd
Party>Sleepbot>Punch set To
IN
-Task>Action
Categories>Net>Mobile
Data>set off
-Task>Action
categories>Audio>Silent
Mode>Set ON
-Tasks>Action
Categories>Tasker>Wait>5
Hours 55 Minutes
-Tasks>Action Categories>3rd
Party>Sleepbot>Punch set To
OUT

This is funny though. I have no hope of paying the debts. Why worry grin

Nice, I usually put my backlight on minimum indors to save juice, but I have to manually increase brightness outside, any ideas how I can automate this? I know it has to do with light sensors...

If your phone doesn't have auto mode, get control centre and turn on auto brightness

Re: Android, Anyone? Part II by ciphoenix: 6:17pm On Aug 22, 2013

Dikachiii: Good afternoon guys, please my S2 takes forever to charge both on pc and wall charger. Like 12 hours+ and I haven't even loaded the JB I downloaded cos I've not been able to charge up to 80% which is a prerequisite. Guys, please what might be wrong?

Your cord is most probably the cause. Happened to me last month. Battery level will be dropping even while charging angry

Please do you know where I can get Original usb? mine was exchanged and I wasn't aware till recently. Imagine, I've been charging since morning with the one I bought and e never reach 30% I changed it to my short old nokia usb and e don reach 70% sharpaly. That Nokia usb is really short like 3 inches long. Please where can i buy Original USB?

Just go to a good phone accessory shop. Where do u base? You could also buy the blackberry usb that comes with a three pinned charger head. And it charges extremely fast. Good thing is it is not more than 700 naira

ciphoenix:

If your phone doesn't have auto mode, get control centre and turn on auto brightness

that's the thing, you don't need to download anything extra. your phone has all the capabilities, just to organise the features together.

here is the perfect example of the full use of tasker. I copied it from lifehacker website

Almost everything tasker for
me is via speech, since I've
always liked the idea of AI
agents that you can converse
with. And since most of what it
does is organise me, I'm using
the SVOX "Oliver" voice, so I
can pretend it's my butler cheesy

So:
I have four levels of verbosity
for the speech - full (when I'm
at home, in the car or have
headphones in), most (any
place I have wifi, so usually a
friends house or similar), some
(anything else), or none (sleep,
calendar entries with "silent"
in the description).
Pulls down my next calendar
entry, and warns me ahead of
time (default 60 minutes, but
can be changed by a delay=X
in the description) every 15
minutes until the event. To
make it more natural, rather
than just saying the exact
minutes, it uses vaguer terms:
a couple of hours, this
afternoon, tomorrow, a quarter
of an hour, etc.
Announces every caller ("X
wishes to speak with you, sir" wink

and text ("X says ...." wink

- Texts
only in full verbosity, phone
calls only in "mostly"
verbosity.
On shake, listens for a set of
voice commands (read out
schedule, start music, set to a
specific verbosity level),
confirms ("Of course, sir" or
variations) and does it.
One of the commands opens a
Scene that lets me set
reminders - they're based on
either an active profile or a
recently active profile, with an
optional time delay. For
example, I can put "Home" in
the active profile box, set a
delay of five minutes to let me
take my shoes off, and a
message of "phone Alex". Then,
five minutes after I get in, the
phone helpfully tells me,
"Remember to phone Alex,
sir."
"Welcome home, sir" when it
detects my home network.
When losing my Work's WiFi
after 5:30pm, will then assume
I'm going to be on the train,
and announce, "We have
reached your destination, sir"
when I get close to my stop
(using cell near).
Uses time to remind me to get
to sleep so I don't stay up all
night on the computer - "May I
suggest retiring for the
evening, sir?"
Uses time, powered state and
consistent darkness levels to
wish me "Good night, sir" and
go into sleep mode.
When in sleep mode, the next
appointment in my calander,
instead of being announced
with the time left, will be
announced with a repeating,
"Good morning, sir, it is time
for ...", starting at volume 0
and repeating one volume
higher until I unplug the
phone.
——
Other non-vocal things include
a learning Wi-Fi auto-on (adds
each cell tower seen to a
variable while connected to
WiFi, and turns on WiFi via a
cell near check on the value of
that variable), a cycling
random quote as a screen
widget pulled fro ma text file,
and a text/missed call Zoom
widget that replies/calls back
on tap

Re: Android, Anyone? Part II by Leopantro: 7:26pm On Aug 22, 2013

a better example

I've got something quite
different: I'm using tasker to
turn my tablet into a motion
sensor for our home
automation system.
The tablet is a wall mounted
control panel for my house. It
can lock doors, turn on lights,
control the HVAC, arm the
alarm, etc. With the help of
Motion Sensor (play store link),
Tasker enhances the
functionality of the control
panel by using the front facing
camera for various functions. I
just got this working last night
but so far, I've got a few
features operating smoothly:
I just got this working last
night, so there are a few small
bugs, but so far it's brilliantly!
Tasker rocks! 5/02/13 3:45pm
4 1 L
Tasker automatically
turns the screen on once
you walk by, which is
handy if you have your
hands full.
Based on the time of day,
the tablet can wake up
and display the most
commonly used apps (i.e.
arm alarm screen in the
morning, turn on media
center in the evening,
etc).
The tablet is mounted in
an area where my other
motion sensors (tied into
the alarm and home
automation system) can't
reach. This means I can
now use it to send home
automation triggers or as
an auxillary motion
sensor for our alarm
system.

Guys Please help, I was trying to flash stock JB on my s2 downloaded the right files.
Started flashing but odin was stuck in setup connection.I did a quick google and was told to pull battery and go back into Download mode. Now my phone is firmware upgrade encountered an issue .. please what should I do?

Re: Android, Anyone? Part II by BlackBaron: 9:03pm On Aug 22, 2013

I think that Tasker thingy would be such a battery drain, it'll be better if you used NFC enabled phones with NFC tags.

Of course, there's a few trade offs here and there in functionality but then its almost just as good as the Tasker.
