Hey im really new to this message boards but I was just wondering if there is a way to have a scheduled email send/receive and have the data connection connect and disconnect after automatically. I like having my email set to check itself but whenever its done the data connection stays on which kills my battey. Any suggestion?
I'm using Tasker and I need some help with a (few) profile(s). I have a few so I'll just number them.
1. I have a profile that turns WiFi on when I'm at home and it turns off when I leave home. The thing is though, I have terrible service at home, so when I lose service, sometimes Tasker will turn WiFi off. The location is based off of cell towers and/or GPS (both atm).
Is there any way to make it so that WiFi won't turn off until I lose the signal or maybe it won't turn off unless it locates the phone away from home. So even if it doesn't know where I am, it just uses the last known location?
2. Is there any way that Tasker can resend any failed SMS messages? Sometimes when I'm at home or elsewhere, I can't send a message so I'd like Tasker to wait until I have service, and then attempt to resend the message.
3. Can Tasker turn on mobile data if I try to send/receive an MMS message? I don't have unlimited data and I don't leave mobile data on all the time, so is there any way for Tasker to recognize when I'm about to send an MMS message (or receive one) and turn on mobile data?
There were some other things that I wanted Tasker to do, but I can't remember now. If I remember them, I'll post them here.
The ability to turn on data when SMS app is active seems to work for me. I set it to be triggered off my SMS app (Go SMS Pro). When I launch it, it pops up a message telling me that the data is turned on. When I back out of the app, it tells me the data is off.

What if data was on before I entered the SMS app? Will it still turn off or will it just return to the original state?
I think if you just want to return to the original state, you will need to set up a different task to set a variable based on whether the data is on or off. So if data is on, you can set DATAFLAG to 1. Then, when you launch your SMS app, you can check for that when you exit and if the flag is set, you know not to turn it off.
I am a developer with an existing android app. Users have asked for a wifi only mode to avoid roaming charges when traveling. I believe I have set it all up successfully but want to be able to validate that theory..
What I am trying to figure out is if there is an app or other way to trap the data coming out of the app via the cell network (lots of background web service calls). Since I do not own all of the web services, I cannot trap from the server side.
Any ideas? I basically want to turn on a trace like you would do in SQL, and look at what is being transmitted on the phone when wifi is off but cell is on. I don't need the actual packets, just that a call was made to one of my https services. If a call is made in wifi only mode, then I know I didn't get everything.
Thanks.
Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for but give Network Log a look

I don't know who else has been having this issue, but there are times where I would not be able to send or receive text messages until I restarted my phone. I finally narrowed it down to the main culprit, which is "Smart Network Switch" under the "Wifi" settings. The problem occurs if you are actively connected to wifi and you turn the screen off. Your GS5 is in sleep mode now but still has wifi connected. When the "Smart Network Switch" is off there is no problem, but when it is on it prevents text messages, phone calls and MMS. It happens either the phone is charging or not charging.
What I found to be the fix is to disable the "Smart Network Switch" option, then turn off wifi and go on the internet and load any web page. This usually would kick start the text messages to be sent to my phone. Once you disable the smart switch, you can keep wifi on all the time and you will not have any problems with texts, MMS or calls.
tl;dr
DISABLE SMART NETWORK SWITCH = WORKING TEXT MESSAGES!!!!
Please let me know if this fix works, thanks.
Useless feature IMO, I kept it off since first time I set up my device.
Always had mine off, always had text issues.
I'll try this !

WiFi calling is the culprit with text messages not reaching the phone. sends okay but until I turn WiFi calling off, I get no text messages with the latest nf6 upgrade.
to get smart relay activated properly you must first turn on the mobile data connection on your phone then the mobile data connection on your watch. if the gear s has auto mobile data defaulted, in 60 seconds you will not have to activate it manually.
This method is to get the calls forwarded. Again, to establish the remote connection both phone and watch mobile data connections must be established. If youre connected to wifi the remote connection will not work.
Once call forwarding or remote connection has been established it is not necessary to keep the mobile data connections on either the phone or watch. The remote setup has been worked out through your cellular provider and there isn't a need to keep data on if you don't need them.
This must be done every time to get it working. I'm using both a tmobile bought gear S and note 4. It all works brilliantly.
if i have the phone and watch connected, and i receive a call, and answer it from the watch, will i speak from the phone? its easier to slide from the watch...
Hello I'm having great problems with remote connection. All I get is error message when I try to activate it. all it says is error has occurred please try again. I have note 4 and tmobile. I'm stuck and been researching for 2 days now. Any ideas?

Redo call forwarding setup both on gear manager and watch itself
Mine takes 2-4 tries to connect but after that its flawless
It has to have remote connection first to do the call forwarding
Any ideas?
A good reset/Uninstall the apps always helps me
Yeah tried. Nothing. Now its not recognizing my sim card
i get the same error forwarding calls when moving from BT to mobile connection. although the watch shows me the notifications, it keeps the error.try again.
how do i redo the call forwarding protocol on both devices?

I am nor completely clear.....are you saying that each time you know you will be leaving your phone at home, you must manually set up Remote Connection and then turn it off when you reconnect to the watch via bluetooth? I thought is was supposed to be automatic. Also, does this Remote Connection require a data plan to allow it to function? I am in Canada and none of the carriers have a "wearable plan". I just purchased a prepaid nanoSIM from Rogers and signed up for a talk & text plan but no data and I don't want to be paying big $ for data if the watch requires data to function with Remote Connection. HELP!

As far as I'm aware there are actually two separate issues to consider here.
1) If you turn on Call Forwarding in the Gear Manager app on your phone, then calls to your phone (using your phone number) will ring on your watch when not connected through Bluetooth (by being forwarded to your watch #). This is simply call forwarding and all you need is a watch plan that allows voice; no data plan required. You would normally use this when you want to leave the phone at home and receive calls on your watch while you're out, etc. The forwarding isnt automatic, you turn it on or off as required in Gear Manager.
2) If you have a plan that allows data (or have access to a wifi connection) then you will be able to receive texts and all notifications from your phone on your watch when connected remotely. You won't be able to receive calls in real time with only a data plan though, unless you also have a voice plan and forward calls as per #1 above. On the bright side, you will still get the missed call notification if your watch plan allows data, so while you can't answer the call you can always call them back right away. Data plans (or wifi) allow for the remote connection to your phone when out of bluetooth range. This remote connection is possible because without bluetooth, the phone and watch can only sync up through your Samsung account, which is why they need some sort of data connection. Once you've set everything up on your phone and watch, the remote connection will happen autonatically within 60 seconds of losing bluetooth connectivity.

Thanks for the clarification. I currently only have the Talk & Text plan so I will have to see how much data is used to push the information. I may have to get a data plan as well.

So to further ask questions about these things..
I just got the watch today and have been searching and trying to find tips on it...
If I am connected via bluetooth.. why does my watch not ring? I thought I could pretty much leave my phone in my pocket all day and do everything through the watch (receive calls and what not). I notice the "messages" app ONLY has messages in there sent from the watch itself. If I get a text message I can view it (not reply..) and it does not show up on the actual watch texts... ideas?
Thanks in advanced.
Hey all,
I just have a question. Lets assume we do have a phone with SIM-A and the Watch with SIM-B. They are connected via bluetooth and for a reason, bluetooth connection get lost. Theoretically, the calls from SIM-A should be diverted to SIM-B. Automatically. Correct?
Because, practically, I am trying this with the Galaxy S7 edge with two sims (SM-G935FD) and it is not working. I got only missed-call notification. The call is not diverted and the phone is still ringing. However, I can do it manually, which of course is not as advertised.
