Tasker on Touchpad: event 'display on' doesn't work - TouchPad General

Hi,
I want to do an action on 'display on' with tasker. This works pretty well on all my devices but not for the TP. Do you know how I can work around this problem? Any experiences with that?

Anyway to quickly change dpi

I recently discovered that I can get a full google drive experience in Chrome just by setting request desktop site, don't know why I hadn't tried before today. This works phenomenally on my tablet, but extended sessions on it are murder on my neck and back so I wanted to use my s3 with my monitor and bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The ideal situation for me would be a way to get Chrome OS when connected to hdmi, but I'll settle for the use of an nfc card that would automatically change the dpi to make sense on the bigger screen and maybe change the default launcher to one that is set up for "desktop mode" with appropriate icons and such. Does anyone know of an application combination that would allow me to do this quickly and efficiently and preferably girlfriend proof as I'm sure she'd want to be able to do the same thing. Thank you in advance.

Screen won't timeout

Between two versions of Jellybomb and two versions of MiniN3 MaximuS, my screen will not timeout while connected to any charger. The screen will dim at the set timeout interval but will not turn off automatically. However, when I am not connected to a charger, the screen timeout works just fine. Did I miss something? Is this supposed to happen?

I'm wondering if it might be "daydream" related? I had a similar issue with a Docking setting in an earlier phone...
(edit: after further research, that doesn't seem likely...)
I guess my thinking here is that if it's followed you through updates and roms, it would either have to be something physically wrong (I don't think so), or a setting that Google has backed up for you and reloading when you log in.
I also have a couple apps that do that to me when they are running in the background. (Onkyo remote, as an example)
Sorry, No real help here.

To me it sounds like a setting in developer options. it keeps the phone awake and the screen on when charging. Uncheck stay awake. If it is not check then it is something else. In settings it is under the general tab. If you do not see developer options then go to about device and tap on the build number 7 times to get it to show up.

SOLVED!
Thanks chief! That's what it was. I've never changed that setting, but it was set to, stay awake...

Configuring Logitech keyboard hotkeys?

I've just received the Logitech keyboard/cover and noticed that the hotkeys for applications run the Android defaults, whether or not you've set another default. For example, I use the Habit Browser and if I click a link in a document it "always" uses the Habit browser, but if I use the Internet hotkey it opens the default Android browser.
Any ideas?

External keyboard helper pro. Use this and set a tasker profile using bluetooth state and secure setting plugin to make it auto switch to it as the input method when your keyboard connects. It allows you to completely configure your keyboard. It will take a little bit to figure out but its worth it.

Any chance you (or some other equally helpful person) would be willing to provide detailed instructions on how to set up the Tasker aspect of this?

Didn't work for me. I'm having the same problem as Agrajag27.

External Keyboard Helper does not work with the wifi version (wish I knew why???) Is there a way to use Tasker (or some other program) to trick the tablet into launching the stock email program when the email key is pressed on the Logitech Pro (which defaults to launch Gmail)?

Personal Unlocking

Has anyone figured out how to enable "Personal Unlocking"
It was demo'ed at I/O. If you have your android wear device in range, it wont prompt you to unlock your phone.
I cant seem to find it, im running L preview.

i'm not sure it's available yet in the preview, wish it was since that is what i'm running, but if it is yeah more details about it would be nice to.
I'm pretty sure it's not available yet. It will be in the full release of L. I'm guessing it was just a demo at Google I/O and it's still too buggy or similar.
There are a number of apps that can do this. I use SkipLock and I have heard that pebble locker can do this. I don't however use L Preview as it really driver so I'm not sure if SkipLock works in the preview

True, I'm just using tasker and secure settings to unlock my phone when the watch is connected. When it's disconnected tasker checks whether I manually disconnected (cause I'm home and want the watch to charger eg) or whether the watch or the phone got stolen and then takes appropriate action (alarm, photo, tracking, password lock, etc)

Does anyone know if Pebble Locker or Skiplock has a on/off widget. I would like a one touch on/off feature for when I'm in the car, etc., and it would help to have one vs. having to go through serveral menus. I just installed Skiplock and couldn't find one, so I figured I would ask here.
Thanks.

Do you not wear your G Watch in the car? With skiplock just have your watch set as a trusted Bluetooth device and as long as it is connected you shouldn't need your phone's pin/password.

Sorry, maybe I should've been more clear. Yes, I wear the Gwatch in the car. But I only want to be able to use Trusted BT Device in the car and not when my phone is sitting my desk at work for example and I'm in range with my watch. Therefore, I'd like to be able to toggle Skiplock on and off with a toggle vs. having to find the app, start the app, click on settings, turn on the slider, close app. I don't see a on/off toggle in the widget gallery so I was asking if Pebble Locker had one or there was one with SL that I was missing.

If you have root I believe you might be able to do this with tasked and the secure settings plugin. Do you have a WiFi network at your work that you can connect your phone to? I think I might try to set this up on my own after I get off of work for the weekend.

Help with AutoVoice, Tasker and Utter?

I tried using variables to forward anything I said in Google Now (after the trigger word) to Utter using AutoVoice and tasker, and it seems I did everything right but it isn't working. Does anyone know how to do this? I'm dumb when it comes to tasker lol
