I have down loaded and am using two great cab files that I am now using on my Sprint TP. One is BT on/off, and the other is WIFI on/off. In particular I have mapped BT on/off to a soft key on my TF3d home screen (easier than having to take 3 steps to access comm manager) Quickly turn BT on and off (toggle).
Does any on know if there are any cabs out there that create a program icon to turn on, and turn off the Sprint data connection (toggle it on and off, like the sliding comm manager feature?
I would map it to another softkey on my TF3d home location. I am already aware of being able to terminate the data connection via the long press option quick list.
I like to turn off the connection, fairly quick after I use it to conserve battery.
Bump. Any one know how to do this?
as far as the last line in your post...
if you have advanced config 3.3
go to
menu > more settings > connections >
there you will see an option to automatically turn off your data connection after a specific time... from a few seconds to hours...
ive set it to 1 min... seems to be workin.
Thanks, I already did that. It works, I just like to have the ability to do it manually one click.
I've got a gTablet running the most recent Cyanogen (I haven't done anything else to it since I had to wipe it with nvflash). I'd like to set it up to have a slide to unlock it (so it doesn't get bumped on while in my bag) or that connect-the-dots thing.
I tried to set up the connect-the-dots in Settings > Location & Security > Set up screen lock > Pattern
It accepted a pattern, had me confirm it, then sent me back to Location & Security where it seemed the change had been implemented. I clicked the power button to turn off the screen then clicked it again to turn it back on... and it came right back to where it was without asking for the pattern. Same deal when I reboot.
How do I make it ask me for the pattern?
EDIT: Evidently there's a setting under Settings > Cyanogen Settings > Tablet tweaks where the lock screen is disabled by default. Unchecked that and things are good.
Hello,
I've a problem with my new XperiaS, the wifi connection automatically switch on without reason and I can't find a way to stay off.
What can i do to make sure that does not turn on without my command?
Thanks and sorry for my english.
Hello my friend!
Try to add a widget (under "Tools" if I translate it correctly from my Greek menu) that switches WiFi on/off with a simple touch.
Hold your finger for 2 seconds on your homescreen, and on the menu select "Add Widget". From the list, choose "Tools" (the one whose icon shows a switch), and choose the WiFi switch to be added.
Otherwise, go to Settings->Wireless Connections (second choice), and remove tick from WiFi. Of course, if you need to enable WiFi again, you have to tick first...

Thanks for the answer, but i've already have a widget of this kind but also if I switch off wifi from the widget or from the Settings Menu, it turns ON automatically sometimes without reasons...
?! Most impressive!
Maybe you have installed any battery manipulation program from the market such as Juice Defender or Battery Saver etc.?
This kind of software can do that automatically if not set correctly (according to your needs I mean)...
If thats not what drag mentioned, I advise you reinstall the entire software with Sony update. Ad in repair your phone. Remember to back up everything.
It was fault of GoBattery, now there is still a bug because the phone tries to switch on the wifi (sometimes the wifi icon beacames grey, but not become white, and disappear) without succes.
Thanks for the info!
Someone was asking how to do this over in the Speed Rom thread...
Setting up Tasker to toggle Sync On / Off during the work day is a good way to prolong battery life. I already have Tasker doing other stuff for me, so this uses few additional resources.
This is a quick and dirty setup, but it works and it's dead simple - perfect for someone who's never used Tasker before. I'm sure someone here could come up with a more elegant solution, so please feel free to get fancy...
First we're gonna setup 3 Tasks ("tasks" are the bits that actually do the work).
AutoSync On, AutoSync Off, and AutoSync 5 minutes.
Those Tasks will be used by 2 Profiles (the "profiles" tell those tasks when to run).
AutoSync Home (Sync ON in the evening, then OFF in the morning), AutoSync Work (Intermittent Sync 3x from 8:00a-5:00p).
Anyway, launch Tasker then tap Tasks. Hit the + key.
When prompted, enter the name for the first one...
"AutoSync On", then... > check > + > Net > AutoSync > (Set) On > check > check. You're done.
Do the same thing again for AutoSync Off, with the obvious differences.
+ > "AutoSync Off" > check > + > Net > AutoSync > (Set) Off > check > check. Done.
AutoSync 5m will turn AutoSync On... for 5 minutes... then off. 3 steps.
+ > AutoSync 5m > check > + > Net > AutoSync > (Set) On > check
(now you'll add a second & third action to this same task)
+ > Task > Wait > + (minutes + 5x to read 5 minutes) > check
+ > Net > AutoSync > (Set) Off > check
You can see here what the Task will do in 3 steps. Tap "check" and you're done with the 3 Tasks.
Those are going to be ran from the two Time Based Profiles called "AutoSync Home" and "AutoSync Work".
Profiles > + > "AutoSync Home" > check > Time
I've set the times from 17:00 (5pm) to 8:00 (set it to whatever you want / it can be adjusted later, but the evening is first)
> check > Select the "AutoSync On" Task that you made
Press and hold "AutoSync On" > Add Exit Task < "AutoSync Off"
That'll automatically turn on AutoSync at 5:00pm, and turn it off again at 8:00am. Make sure the Profile is checked (to the right of the name) to make it active.
AutoSync Work.
Same as above, but the From time is 10:00 > Repeat every 2 hours > To 14:00.
Select the AutoSync 5m Task. No exit task.
That'll turn AutoSync on for 5 minutes during the day at 10:00am, 12 noon and 2:00pm. Again, check the Profile to make it active.
Tap Check to Save and Minimize. If you run a task killer, you'll want to make Tasker exempt. Also, when you get everything working the way you want, backup your work (Menu > Data > Backup).
Tasker can do much much more. This is the tip of the iceburg. Check out the Tasker Site and the Tasker Wiki.
I'm not affiliated. I just like the program. Really. It's the most powerful program I've found for Android. When someone shows you a cool app they have on their phone (or 5), you can say "Tasker can do that (all that)"
Once you get Tasker doing things for you, take your Amaze to the next level - get some NFC Tags and NFC Task Launcher which has, you guessed it, Tasker intergration! Once setup, you'll never have to touch the phone again... it'll just automagically do your bidding. <insert evil laugh>
Haha I think it was me! This is great as others can post their own profiles like turn on WiFi or GPS or Bluetooth or automatic vibrate or silent mode when certain times or locations are reached! The possibilities are endless. Having an automated phone awesome!

rwb2073 or anyone else. I have tasker turn off my mobile data every time that screen goes off. But I also stream ESPN and Pandora. So I said tasker Pandora is running enable mobile data. But is not working. How can I make tasker enable data while screen off only when those apps are running
My other question is turning off and on mobile data as screen goes on and off bad? Drain battery? I don't think it drains for me bc ill go a good 3 hrs without turning screen on and data is off saving me tons of battery.

This has been a great tutorial, @rwb2073.
I'll be trying this tonight, with just some minor tweaks to the AutoSync 5m task:
Wifi ON
AutoSync ON
Wait for 15m
AutoSync OFF
Wifi OFF
This is so that I can switch off my wifi when not in use, since I don't stream at night.
IS "AutoSync 5m will turn AutoSync On... for 5 minutes... then off. 3 steps. " A CYCLE ?
I mean, when it finishs it starts again ?
No. It runs just once, but at each specified time of course.

This saved me extreme amounts of battery, thank you!
Will the sync every 5 min task loop by itself? Or do I have to do something else?
Hi,
I've created a similar profile but the Android sync keeps turning off the Chrome sync (is unchecked in Google account from time to time). I don't know the reason Android ¿or Tasker? is doing this but it is sad
Chrome is the only one that is disabled and is the one I use the most to sync tabs with PC

Chances are that some energy saving program or setting is shutting the Chrome Sync down to save energy. First it would be good to see if any modifications to the profile you made will prevent the disabling of Chrome Sync.

The Tasker profile is practically the same, every hour: Autosync On - wait 2 minutes - Autosync Off.
The problem is more with Android or Chrome, because if I manually disable 'Sync' the Chrome sync always gets unchecked/untitled

That's a good approach--google will probably help you more than I--but with your inquisitiveness, you'll probably find a solution.

Hello,
I know its an old Thread, but i would say thank you for These Post ! It works perfekt
i always turn off the v on the auto brightness cause i love my on the full bright
but every restart i make it turn back to default ?
I too don't like this behavior, particularly because if restarting the phone in poor light conditions the screen is automatically set to a very low brightness.
I'd like to know if this is a bug or it's so by design...
By design. All my mates did this. Don't like either but is what it is.
yup. an issue for me too
This is seriously a Huawei 'feature'? Holy.... :silly:
Possible solution:
Depending on your exact model and restrictions placed on it in your country/territory you should be able to do the following to stop this (VERY!) annoying issue:
1) Turn-off power-saving battery modes if you haven't already
2) Go into 'Settings' then: System -> Developer Options -> there will be an option called "Increase Readability Under Sunlight" -> Toggle this setting to "OFF"
3) Go back to main Settings screen, then "Display" and ensure that "Auto-Adjust" is OFF
This should stop the phone from constantly turning the automatic adjustment back on every time you restart.
NOTE: Some may find that they do not see a "Developer Options" menu within their System settings. If this is you then you MIGHT be able to activate this hidden menu by going into the System section then About Phone, then press/click the "Build Number" part of the screen 7 times in a row.
If this works for you it will pop up with a message such as "you are now an authorised developer"
If you get this kind of message then if you go back to your main System settings screen you should now see the previously hidden 'Developer Options' section
Hope this helps some of you, I had to do this on my new Mate 20 Pro
I really hoped that 146 update solved this problem, but even with all the above settings disabled, after reboot the auto brightness setting always stays ON...
Even more annoying is the dimming within certain apps. When you open Chrome for example, the display dims. And when you close Chrome the display gets brighter (to its original value) again. Haven't found a way to fix this yet. The problem occurs with autobrightness disabled as well as when the autobrightness is enabled. Also with Increase Readability Under Sunlight toggled off.
I'm looking for a fix that stops the dimming when opening certain apps, but let's me be able to keep the autobrightness function on.
I'm not sure if this works, I'm not even sure if the app is called power genie or power genius. But I saw this in a forum.
. non rooted solution will be: adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.powergenie
Try this as for me it is working perfect. Download setting database editor. Install it, after that go to setedit app and find hw_screen_auto_brightness_adj and delete line. Reboot and voila. No more dimming or increase in autobrightness.

Tried this a couple of times, off/on/off on my p30pro, but makes no difference at all, any other ideas for these phones?
I had the same annoying "issue" with my Mate20Pro.
I have an efficient way to solve this.
Just download MacroDroid app, and you can make a macro with these parameters: after turn on do: set brightness to X% and turn off auto adjust.

Thank you for introducing this very useful app
It'd be brilliant if you could provide the exact instruction to do the parameters ... I couldn't figure it out after trying for several times
Cheers
Just stop rebooting your phone. It doesn't need it. Worst case is that you have to enable it after Android updates.
