Hi everyone,
I am not sure it this is the best place to ask this question, if not, no problem if it is moved to the right one.
I am a new user of the app "Tasker" and I really like it. One of the things I want to do is to turn on GPS and "Wi-Fi & mobile network location" automatically when launching some apps like Maps, Navigation, Endomondo, Sygic, etc. and turn off both when closing them to save battery when no using those apps.
I handle to activate GPS when launching apps and turn off on exit task but I cannot find the task to turn on/off "Wi-Fi & mobile network location". If it is not possible, I could use "access to my location" option (which includes GPS and wi-fi & mobile network location".
Another question is that I want to know if it is possible to make a task to activate pattern security. I usually use slide security on lock screen but when it is connected to a wifi (like at work) I want to activate pattern security on lock screen.
I am using Android 4.1 (CM10.1).
Thanks in advance.
I can answer myself. It is possible installing Secure Settings from Play Store

Hi magarto,
Can you please share your Tasker GPS job? I have installed Secure Settings and setup a Trigger, action and task in Tasker. But it is not functioning as you described ...
Can you help me out? Thx.

Where can I find that "access my location" option? Because I've been looking all over for it and can't find it oO

Does anyone know how to enable the Verizon Touch Pro (VX6850) to update "My Location"/Latitude in google maps? Searching the google help i found that if you go to Menu --> Help --> About there is "myl: N/A"
according to google help this tells you if you are able to use cell towers to triangulate where you are. Is there a way to enable this?
Just enable the GPS and do it the REAL way
what if you are indoors and cannot get a gps signal like 99% of my day?
Yeah, seriously. I KNOW "My Location" works on other devices (saw it work on a blackberry with my own eyes in a verizon store) and I updated to the new rom that supposedly enabled gps (and hopefully the "my location" functionality) and I enabled "location based services" in the options dialog of the phone settings menu item. and it still doesn't work. Any guesses as to if this is a Google problem? A verizon problem? or an HTC (PDC) problem? any registry settings we know of related to location based services? anyone? Thread bump?
I wonder the same but for a different reason, I use Navizon and it records the cell tower data and gives me points for it, I don't get access to it with the touch pro, only to wifi.
Hi guys,
is there any way I can ensure that any of my apps/ syncs / anything does not access internet through whatever mean until I say otherwise?
At home I have Wifi, so it isnt an issue, when I hit the road (I have disabled Data roaming and appl syncs), every now and then, Vibrant starts connecting via Edge and just runs through my Balance
I run Advanced task killer every now and then, still no help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Power control widget allows you to easily turn sync off. It should be already installed. Long press on your home screen, choose widget, and look for power control. Hope this helps.

that was one of the first things i tried...
I use Quick Settings to turn off mobile data when I don't need it. I then turn off wifi when I'm out of range of work and home and only turn those back on when I'm going to explicitly use them.
I'm more of an "update when I tell you to" kind of user so this may or may not work for you.
I'm running Android 2.2 and forget if it was available in 2.1 as well but...
Try looking under Menu -> Settings-> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Network Settings, uncheck "Use packet data".
This should disable all internet access over the cellular modem while still allowing WiFi (when turned on). No extra apps / widgets, etc necessary.
Hi,
I'm a new Android-User and a new Forum-User. I got a x10 mini pro this week. I'm wondering why my device must be always connected? It has to update my mail-accounts always one time per hour. On other systems this is normal: The internet connection is established when used.
I found this out by google search: There should be this setting: Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Enable always-on mobile data. That is just what I'm looking for. But on my device there isn't such an option.
It's a x10 mini pro from sony ericsson. Newest SE-Firmware-Version (2.0.2.A.0.24 Android 2.1) Why do I don't have this option? Is where another solution for this problem? I don't like to switch data-connection off an on by myself. The device is rooted. Any suggestions for an app that can do that? I've tried JuiceDefender but it doesn't actually do what I want.
thanks for your help.
Always On Data
Huh?
But the applications let you tell it how often to check for updates? There were a few the last time I checked.

Hi, i believe that you refer to "data traffic" option. "data traffic" option enables/disables your phone data traffic, that is, enables/disables you mobile internet.
You can find this option in:
Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Data Traffic
When you disable (uncheck) "Data traffic" you wont be able to use at all mobile internet untill you enable it again.
To help you with fast enable/disable data traffic there is also a stocked widget that allows you to turn on/off data traffic, its called "Data Traffic". To put it on one of home screens, long press on one of the home screens, then meny will pop with bunch of options, select: Widgets > Data traffic. And wola!! You have it on home screen.
That way you dont need to go trough all the longer process on entering settings menu.
Anyway, i dunno why you wanna disable it, it eats very little of internet, and i find it useful bunch of times.
Good morning Thanks for your replies.

I run only few applications like k9 mail. They can do that.

No I don't refer to that option. This widget is already on my screen. But with this I have to enable and disable it manually.
On the big X10 should be the always on option. You can check out this link: <can't post this link, cause' I'm a new user >
I wonder if I can manage to set this in the system files without being able to tick this in the settings.
Hi,
Hope this is the right place to post this, I'm still mostly a lurker on xda.
Anyways, I've been trying to use Juice Defender Plus' app configuration to manage individual apps' connectivity.
I have virtually all other JD features disabled, as I'm using Tasker instead.
In order to try JD out, I set both Chrome and the stock browser to Disable, which as far as I understand, should cut off these apps' ability to connect to the internet.
But when I open either one and browse to a webpage, it acts as normal. Also, according to the app NetLive, Chrome sometimes connects to the internet in the background.
JD is enabled, and I'm on 4.1.2 stock, unrooted SIII.
What am I missing here?
JD is supposed to be able to block an apps data connection?
Thanks!
EDIT: I've set JD profile to customize, and on top of the settings page it says «all connectivity controls are disabled» . This disappears if I enable e.g. mobile data control, but doesn't change the behavior described above.
Contact the developer .
Hi everyone.
The GPS function of my phone (Samsung Note 5, Android 7) can't seem to work after I use a fake gps app called Fly Gps.
When I am using Waze, the msg "No GPS. Showing approximate location" pop up. It can detect my location when I am not moving, but I can't use it for navigation.
Google Maps is better,I I think. It can detect that I am moving but not the exact location, maybe slightly delay. I keep seeing the msg "Searching for Gps" and the voice navigation will inform me that GPS signal is lost.
I have already tried most of the solutions found on the Internet but none seems to work,
including restarting the phone, install & uninstall the app, clear data, cache.
On Android 7, the developer options does not have the “disable mock gps" option.
There is a "Mock location app" and it shows no mock location detected.
Can someone please help me solve the problem?
Thank you.
