Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is in the correct forum.
I was wondering if anyone can recommend an app or widget which makes it easier to switch between the options in location settings? I can't seem to find one anywhere.
Just something I can place on the home screen instead of having to go all the way into settings to change from power saving to high accuracy when I want to use navigation for example.
Thanks in advance for your input

for those who are familiar, please help....I can't for the life of me figure out how to change my location! Nor could I find an answer on here. When I originally set it up, I chose my location and left the automatic update UNCHECKED. I couldn't find any setting menu or option to change this so as of right now the only way I know of is to uninstal/reinstall the app and start from scratch...but there has to be another way right??
I had a similar problem. The solution that I found is to remove the widget and set it again , weather configuration window is up and you can change your location. However, it is not very satisfactory solution, but better than reinstalling the entire application.
Hi,
I just got my Phone yesterday. I am still playing with it but found some things which won't suit me. They are,
1- How do I disable Conversation type SMS Inbox? I have gone through Settings, but no option is there. Is there a Code or something which will Disable Conversation style SMS Inbox and Enable normal Inbox-Outbox-Sent-Draft pattern SMS Inbox.
2- How will I change the Lock Screen Wallpaper? I can't change it, if I click on, Settings-Display-Screen display-Lock screen Wallpaper only Camera and Gallery options are opening but Select Wallpaper from Wallpaper Gallery is not opening which has the built in pictures and I want to use them as my Lock screen pic.
3- Is this Power Saving Mode stuff really does anything on the battery to save it? Are you guys using it?
4- At what Brightness are you guys using the Phone generally? I am using on Auto Brightness but it takes a while to activate.
5- Please tell me One good free application related to Battery Status? I mean I've seen an app which shows the detailed Battery percentage on the Task bar instead of the Default battery icon?
6- Is there some Secret Codes for this? When I had my Wave S8500 I used to use some Codes, eg- *#8740#, *#5239870*# and etc.. I'd specially like to know a Code related to screen contrast. I mean imo the Contrast is really heavy and rich, which I don't like, on Wave there was a Code (I forgot) which gave an option to Enable and Disable some features like DNIE Technology and etc, so is there same type of Codes available for GS II too?
This is my very First Android device, and especially when coming from Bada it seems like I am in the middle of Pacific ocean and can't see anything. So if I've asked any stupid question please do pardon me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Saurav.
1) i like the conversation style so didn't bother to change or look for the settings
2) u can change it if u root ur phone and u know the codes to change it or just use a custom rom found in the forum. some of them have a way to change the lockscreen
3)if you set the settings properly it works..but not that well
4)i have disabled my auto brightness and put the slider on the lowest..saves battery.. (keep in mind that in sunlight brightness needs to be increased)
5)i use quick battery widget
6)no idea.. reduce the brightness ??

1- I don't like it and I need to change it.
5- I didn't ask for a Widget but an Application which will change the default battery status icon on Task bar to a detailed percentage term.
1. not sure you can.
5. app called battery indicator.

1- . I can't believe it. It has to possible somehow.
2- Thanks. I downloaded it, it's showing the percentage on the Left Top corner of the Task bar, but the default battery icon is still there!
I downloaded an Application called SMS Composer, which does not have Threaded SMS. Cool. Still will look forward for a better app.
Using the stock ROM and since changing to an MCR, I've not found anywhere to alter the items in the notification pull down (Wireless, Bluetooth, GPS, Vibrate and Rotation). Is this possible? I never change the first three and would prefer to change them to something more useful! I think I've checked every menu but may be missing something and I've searched and searched Google...
Hi guys,
I cooked up some tasker mods to address some of the graciously few problems I have with the software of the mate 20x. I thought they might be useful to some of you guys so I figured I'd share. The plugins used are AutoInput, AutoLaunch, AutoNotifications, and AutoTools.
Mod List:
1. Fixed Auto-rotate Lock: uses the quick tile to auto-rotate or lock to any orientation
2. Swipe Recent Apps Switcher: cycle through previous apps by swiping on the bottom of the screen ala iPhone
3. Auto-disable Eye comfort: pop-up prompt when activating chosen apps that automatically disables eye comfort mode
4. Automatic Screen Filter: activates the free app Night Screen when brightness is set to minimum and disables it when brightness is raised
1. Fix Auto-rotate Lock
There are two versions of this mod, one which uses the system quick tile and one which uses an AutoNotifications quick tile. The AutoNotifications quick tile is more reliable and allows you to seamlessly lock orientation in landscape or inverted. The system quick tile is more clunky and you cannot lock in inverted, but it's a bit faster. If anyone knows where to find the system quick tile icons please tell!
Simply import the profiles to Tasker and turn them on. Choose "Rotate On" for the system qt or "AltRotate On" for the AutoNotifications qt.
2. Swipe Recent Apps Switcher
This mod will track all activated apps in an array so they can be systematically called back. It also offers swipe gestures at the bottom of the screen which can be used to cycle through them. Swipe left or right to go back and forth through your recent apps. After settling on an app, the app list will be updated to bring your active app to the front.
To install, import and turn on all profiles and run the swipe task. The Swipe task must be ran to provide gestures. The overlay providing gestures is at the very bottom of the screen, so just swipe your finger along the screen edge. Modify your settings and profiles to make sure that Swipe, AutoTools, and Tasker stay on with full permissions. This mod requires that tasker monitoring use accessibility. In the no root version some apps will refresh their state when activated (es explorer). This is because apps are 'launched' and not 'brought to foreground'. In the root version this is not an issue.
3. Auto-disable Eye comfort
This will provide a discrete pop-up in the corner of your screen when you activate the selected apps. I set up the profile with the apps I use for photo and video editing. When you click the pop up it will automatically open the drawer and disable the eye comfort quick tile. The pop up will go away in 5 seconds if not clicked, or can be swiped away.
To install, place the "bubble" folder in your AutoTools webscreen folder. The file paths should match up, but you may need to modify them. Import and turn on. The no root plugin uses AutoInput to press the fourth quick tile. If you have eye comfort on another quick tile you will need to change the touch coordinates. The root option will, if prompted, automatically switch eye comfort on and off as you switch between monitored apps. If you dismiss the prompt it will not ask again until eye comfort is toggled.
4. Automatic Screen Filter
When brightness is lowered to the minimum level, this mod will launch the app Night Screen to lower the brightness with a screen filter. When the brightness is raised above minimum it will turn night screen off.
You can change the app used, but it must have a toggle or on/off activity to be launched by secure settings. I found Night Screen to be the best for me. Import and turn on profiles.
There may be some bugs due to inconsistent Tasker monitoring and the system messing with things. Unfortunately there is little I can do about this.
ps. the zip is NOT installable

I vastly improved the app switcher to function much more intuitively and more like a native function. It's works pretty much exactly like on the iPhone, accept the animations are going the wrong way. I'll test it out a bit then update the post.
You sir are incredible
Post has been updated with a new app switcher, a root app switcher which fixes the launching problem, and a root eye comfort prompt which modifies the setting directly and has enhanced functionality. Also now none of the mods are dependent on the Secure Settings plugin

Such as:
Auto speakerphone when call connects by default
When I get in the car, show a list of media players as a popup (bc bt connected)
$60 via PayPal thx
I really appreciate the offer, but thats not how xda works. This is where people help people, and I've benefited far too much through the days on the generosity of others to be greedy now.
I took a quick look and it and there is a State profile called "BT Connected". You should be able to check your bluetooth settings for the exact name of your car and insert that into the Name field. Then you would make a Scene containing buttons corrosponding to your desired media player. This should be reletively straightforward. When the BT is connected, show the scene with the buttons then launch your choice. This can be done with the AutoLaunch plugin or by android intent by running code 'am start --activity-reorder-to-front PACKAGE_NAME/MAIN_ACTIVITY'. The main activity intent is easily found through terminal if you're rooted but I dont remember how to find it if you're not rooted.
For the call I would use the State profile "Call". I am not sure if this will activate after the call is connected or while the phone is ringing for incoming calls. If its when the phone is ringing I would then set up a loop with "AutoInput Query" to check whether the call was connected. Run a couple tests with the query to see what the variable values are when the call is connected and check for those values to escape the loop. When the call is connected, use auto input to click on the speakerphone button automaticly. You can use the auto option to configure this or you can go into developer mode on your phone and enable show pointer location to get the coordinates. Coordinates are faster that text matching, but you might have to add a wait for 500ms to avoid it touching too early.
That should be it, pretty straightforward. You've inspired me to update this list with my new rotate toolbar and fixes. Happy tinkering!
That being said, I would be willing to do it for you if you would rather pay for a finished solution. However, I greatly encourage you to give it a go yourself, the possibilities are endless once you get comfortable with Tasker.
Hi, I have an issue with my Mi 10 OHM disabling itself every time my phone reboots so I'm trying to set a KWGT homescreen shortcut to the settings for OHM to be able to toggle it back on in 2 quick taps instead of going thru the settings sub menus each time. The prob is that I can't seem to find the enable/disable OHM setting in activities even tho I found the "Ignore accidental touch on edges" settings shortcut in activities & it's in the same place in device settings as OHM. To be clear, I'm not looking for a shortcut to activate OHM, I use the swipe left/right from home button for that, I'm looking for the activity shortcut to toggle it on/off in in the device settings. Thanks in advance for any help
