I'm running cm11. I use my phone as an alarm clock and my with an xbolt dock or something like that. Every time I into a dock it all's me if I want to make it my default everything's or just once. Is there any way to get rid of feature? I use nfc tags and tasker to guide what app to use. I've searched and can't find anything. Simply put, I dont want it to launch anything when I dock it.

Well it will launch something until you select ”Always".. Instead of hitting "Just Once"..
But other than that I don't believe there is a way to remove that prompt

HI Folks,
Most of you will be aware of the Samsung Dive account where one can track the location of the phone and remote wipe it etc.
I am aware of other apps on the market that replicate some of theses features but haven't found one that allows the finder of the phone means to contact the owner to return it.
What I would like is the lock screen to have a "phone owner" facility as well as the emergency call button.
I like to have the phone locked to prevent unauthorised use should it go missing but its doesn't help an honest person who might find the phone to return it.
Anyone seen an app that has this function?
Or make an app to do it, I would pay for an app that could do it.
Thanks
Del
Bump..Anyone?

Why not try using a 'low-tech' solution & putting your contact details on a sticky label on the back - or a note between the phone and case. Remember your phone might be found by an old dear who doesn't even know how to turn it on!
Come to think of it, you could also use an invisible marker to write your house number & postcode under the battery (and on the battery) - this is one of the first things the police will look for if they recover your phone, or come across someone with it in their possession in 'suspicious circumstances'.
Well that made me smile, yes a perfectly good solution to the problem, and i will be doing that as it would still work even if the battery was dead
Would still like the over engineered solution too if its available or if anyone is making a security app for the phone to incorporate it as a feature.
The app called "Android Lost" lets you place a note saying whatever you want it to. You can also trace it with GPS, set an alarm etc.

That's a great app, can't believe its free.
Tested it out and it works a treat.
I'm Looking for an app that you can set up a schedule to have your phone reboot at a specific time every day. I know about "Fast Reboot" and those type of apps, but I'm looking for something that fully reboots the phone, hardware and all. Anyone know of an app that does that?
I would think Tasker could probably do it.
I haven't used tasker before and I have read that it is complicated to use so I was hoping for something a little more simple. Plus, I don't really need tasker for anything else so that would be kind of an expensive rebooting app. But I bet your right and that it could do it and thank you for taking the time and giving me your suggestion.
Why woukd you need a reboot app? Just curous

I don't need it per say. But I thought it would be nice to have it reboot and be ready in the morning right away. I just reboot my phone every morning and to have it done automatically would be cool. That's all.

Also charging is better with phone off on GB so having the ability to have the phone turn on at a set time would still allow use of an alarm...theoretically anyway. I've actually thought about this but haven't looked into it.

That is another great reason that I hadn't even thought of. Nice
Theres an app out there called PhonePrioritizer....it can perform scheduled reboots using a script. it does work, i used to use it....google it and check it out

Theres no way to have the phone turn on by itself while it is not on...he probably means he just wants his phone to reboot itself like a half hour before he wakes up every morning so its fresh and ready to go, and he has all that nice reboot-RAM to play with.

Thanks, I will check that app out. And yes, you knew exactly what I meant. Thanks, I couldn't think of another way to explain it and you did perfectly.
Titanium Backup would be the easiest way to do it, but you have to back stuff up, which you're probably doing, anyway, right?
I would have paid at least $20 for it, and it's been worth much more to me than that.
You can use Script Manager to write a script that reboot
(Create a Script in your SD card, under the #!/system/bin/sh line just write the word reboot, it should look like this:
#!/system/bin/sh
reboot
)
Afterwards, long hold that script, and then change it so that it Run as root.
DO NOT check the Run at boot, or else it'll infinitely reboot.
then in Script Manager, go to Menu --> Advanced Options --> Scheduler
and then schedule the time you want it to reboot. Then press add script, add that script you just made.
So I disabled the Phone/people app from stock because I couldn't find a way to stop the phone from vibrating profusely when people called me. (Hate vibrate unless ringer is off, waste of battery to me) So anyway cannot find a way to enable the stock app again. Running Fresh's ROM
Just reflash the Rom, it should copy the system files back to where they belong.
Yeah I figured I could reflash or restore a nandroid but am trying to avoid that until this whole Google Wallet BS gets figured out. I really don't care about using Wallet (would like to use the 10 bucks I was promised) but don't want to brick NFC in anyway whether it is Wallet or another program.

Did you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the app list(not the app drawer but the list under settings>apps>all)? That's where stuff hangs out when you disable it instead of staying in alphabetical order. This is assuming you disabled it in settings>apps>all apps
Thanks, for some reason the search option is not popping up in my window right now. It was at the bottom of said list. Mods lock if you feel necessary.
whenever I mount the phone to my car dock, S Voice comes on first! When it wasn't working on my Skyrocket, I just froze it and said screw this thing, but now that it works just fine on the SIII, every time I mount it to the car dock, I have to close out of it first before I can get Music up and running.... is there a work around for this to prevent it from coming on when mounted to the car dock I haven't thought of yet?
I quit using Tasker, it got to be too damn much on the phone, so I just use A2DP Volume to automate the connection - when I connect my car dock, it loads Music and adjusts BT volume for me, but it won't close an app on connection.... How can you prevent S Voice from coming up in the first place?
EDIT - I found these steps for turning off Voice Talk, the older version of Google's Voice Commands, and I'm going to give this a try. The motion part isn't applicable though, I think....
Try turning off DOUBLE TAP under Voice Talk settings.
Click on and bring up Voice Talk, then hit the bottom left button and click SETTINGS.
On the SETTINGS page, scroll down to the VOICE TALK section and click VOICE TALK SETTINGS.
On the next page, click on MOTION.
Next page, under MOTION ACTIVATION SERVICES, uncheck DOUBLE TAP.

WORKAROUNDS - We now have two workarounds to solve this problem.... Here they are:
If you like S Voice and just want to prevent it from starting up when car docked, use the Dock Nothingness app and select it by default the next time you car dock
If you don't like S Voice and want to block it completely, just freeze it with Titanium Backup and it won't run at all (PRO key must be installed for you to freeze and defrost apps)
Did you get anywhere with this problem - I'm in the same boat. What I'd really like is the old default car home to launch, but not getting s-voice (useless in my little convertible!) would be a great start!

Nope, but I think your issue would be easier to overcome since you can just download Car Home Ultra or something similar, I don't want any car home to launch at all, just the A2DP Volume app which will launch Google Music for me....
I have everything set like they said on the S Voice settings page, so it doesn't activate with a double tap home input, but it still comes up! Now that I have Tasker running as well, it asks if I want to use S Voice or Tasker, or either of them by default, and I don't want any of them, really! If I say Tasker, I believe it will do nothing, but that might interfere with A2DP Volume, and then I have to set Tasker to run A2DP Volume when it is car docked..... that's straight up going around in circles now!!!
I have the same problem... please fix! I do not like S Voice...

Nothing I can do about it, I'm definitely not a dev....
I selected Tasker by default when car docked and it seems to work just fine right now, I don't have any task set when the car is docked, but at least it recognizes Tasker will take priority when car docked instead of S Voice! That's the best work around I know of so far....
Sorry if I'm mentioning the obvious, but if you go into s voice in the applications manager is anything set in its 'launch by default' section? I don't have anything in there now, but that may be because I set my car-launcher as default on docking. I don't know if 'on dock' was in there before.

That's a good thought, but no, there are no defaults set on my phone either under that setting - it was worth a look though! I'm sure it's got to be something as easy as that though....

If you are rooted, why don't you just freeze svoice? I didn't like it so I froze it when I was freezing all of the carrier installed crapware (didn't want to uninstall it in case I actually get some of the features enabled).. freeze it and you will never see it again.. (I don't think I would risk deleting it since if it breaks something else it is easy enough to unfreeze/thaw the application)... this of course requires you to have titanium backup and pay for the elite license which gives you these features..
Double Home doesn't launch anything anymore.. although I never had a problem with it launching when going into car-mode.. I had turned that feature off...
I am still a noob with the andriod phone.. I had an iphone before this.. but am finding that I really like the flexibility of andriod over iphone..
It looks like we have a decent work around, posted by zen0s on the Infuse car dock thread:
zen0s said:
I just tried this and it works great. To get rid of that annoying "S Voice" pop up everytime when phone is docked. Go to play store and download "Dock Nothingness". After you install it dock your phone and make "Dock Nothingness" as your default app. Now you won't be bother with those s-voice launching.

I froze it using TiBU on my Skyrocket and that worked just fine because S Voice wasn't really working well with the phone, but now that I have an SIII, I want to use it when it is appropriate for me, not every time I dock the phone! So the two options stand, freeze it or run Dock Nothingness to prevent S Voice from starting up every time it is car docked!
Would this be a tasker script or is there something that I can do without it? I want to open up my flip case and it start me off at Google Now but it is at a calendar now. Thanks in advance.
I wonder if replacing the daynote.apk app with another app renamed daynote.apk would work...
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
On a related note, is it possible to call daynote from a shortcut, without closing, opening the case?
I was able to figure it out, it is done with a tasker script. I have it so that with the display is unlocked, voice search is the app to open. Works like a charm now. I just need to get it to say opening ________ when it opens. I'll figure it out. :good:

I have Tasker, but have never done anything like you have done. Would you be willing to share your script, or online at a high level the steps you setup in Tasker?
Thanks!

I have autolaunch and autovoice as well. Reason why I wanted this was so that when I opened the case, I just open the case and to say the app that I wanted open and it works. But for this particular case, to open up the app as I have Google Now opening up
Tasker instructions.
Under Profiles
Go to Event -> Display -> Display Unlocked
Under Tasks
Go to App -> Load App then just select the app you want to open
That is what I have and that should work.
Wow, how simple! Thanks!
