Why doesn't the text autocomplete when i type in text in the SMS text entry area!! This is a very annoying feature that I have to type an entire word eventhough in Nokia phones it autocompletes the text for me. Does anyone have any idea?
Would appreciate any help, thanks!
Hey,
I'm new to android and i have used this forums a lot,
But now after i've searched for like several hours (Both here and in google..) for a solution and haven't found it i decided to sign up and ask it...
I'm using "Minimal Text" widget for my lockscreen (WidgetLocker)
and i want to add a Unread SMS Count number,
I Understood i need to create a Locale Variable for this one and read the tutorial on the "Minimalistic Text Wiki".
I Must add i'm also a complete noob with the "Tasker" app and just downloaded it for this particular use of creating a Variable.
The problem is, even after reading and doing exactly what the tutorial says,
And even trying to create a Variable manually in Tasker i just can't display it on the Minimal text widget no matter how much i try..
What could be the problem?
Are you setting the minimalistic text variable? For example, on your text received profile you should have two actions. The first sets a variable, lets say %SMSUNREAD. The second is Minimalistic Text variable, under plugins. For this you configure the variable name to be something else (%MNMLSMSUNREAD for example) and the content is %SMSUNREAD. You then configure Minimalistic text to use %MNMLSMSUNREAD.
Also you need to make sure Tasker is selected in Settings>Accessibility as an Accessibility Service.
Lastly, there seems to be reported issues with Tasker and deodexed roms. Are you running a custom Rom?
Hope that helps.
First of all thanks for the reply,
I noticed i Don't have tasker checked on Accessibility, Neither "Accessibility" checked.
I've checked them both but still, it doesn't show the amount of unread SMS...
here is what i have:
Tasker -
"New SMS" profile:
Received Text,*,* -
Variable Set "%SMSCOUNT" to "%SMSCOUNT + 1"
Minimalistic Text variable settings "%MNMLSMSCOUNT = %SMSCOUNT"
"Reset SMS" profile:
Messages (stock android messages app) -
Variable Set "%SMSCOUNT" to "0"
Minimalistic Text variable settings "%MNMLSMSCOUNT = %SMSCOUNT"
And of course a locale variable in the Minimalistic Text widget of "%MNMLSMSCOUNT" but still, Shows nothing.
I have just done some testing with Tasker and it seems like Nothing i try work,
For example i made a new profile with the task of showing some custom notification when i receive SMS,
or Display a popup when i turn my BT on, and Nothing happens....
What can i do to make tasker even work?!
PS. in my notifications bar i have "No Active Profiles" under tasker although it's all On...
Alright just wanted to update you, got it to work,
Well i just made it from the beginning Not following the tutorial,
Instead of the "%Variable + 1" i used the "Variable Add" oprion and WITHOUT the "Do Math" check.
Here is my question: I would like to set up a text message shortcut on my home screen using the "direct message" shortcut for a specific contact, BUT I would like the shortcut to open directly into voice control so I can just begin talking (as opposed to opening into the text thread, then having to tap the box to bring up the keyboard, then having to tap the voice control icon).
Also, I know about the voice control app (say "text Rob" then start speaking your message). I want to cut out the "To" part of the equation because Google Voice very often gets that part wrong and I end up having to manually change the recipient info.
Thanks guys!
Anyone?

I was making a tasker profile to show scene as overlay,blocking,full window when I receive a text as 'hi'. I was able to do that but I cant get the same thing when I export it as an app. As an app,the scene is shown after I unlock my screen but I want it to be shown on lockscreen. I have also uploaded some screenshots below for reference.
Thanks in advance

I didn't get a reply but I figured it out myself
So here is how I did:
I just added a profile to disable keyguard when scene is shown
Easy yeah!!

I need to take screenshots of this long conversation and tried the scroll capture but all my long messages need me to view all. Is there anyway to expand all the text messages always?
