Hi,
for me it is not very usefull to enable and disable Wifif with windows mobile tools or connection manager.
So i have to ideas:
First simple: is there any tool to enable/disable wifi with just start the tool ? Some little program I can add into the menu area and with one click in enables or disables wifif, without any GUI, just one click ?
second one:
What about a wifif manage on program base ? A tool which runs in the background and where I could add my Internet programs I want to use (for example google maps). The tool should recognize when I start the google maps tool and the enable wifi. If the tool detects the closing of google maps, it disables wifi. With a short list I could add my tools and never have to solve the problem of wifi, because all works automatic AND saves a lot of power.
What do you think, is such a tool possible or maybe even available ?

Hi hanszimmerdude,
I think i have the answer to your first question, this is a simple exe, which works on my diamond (I don't know about other devices) and i took it from this app over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421802 ([SKN]+[APP][08-29-2008] Action Screen 9 Btn Diamond V5 & V5.1 (Phone or WiFi and BT)) by Fabliv. I hope it works on the device you're using, good luck.

Nice one for the links working great on Tilt
Thank you for the on off tools. great !
Maybe anybody have some ideas about a wifif manager with application detection ...
Why don't you look into Throtle Launcher *Freeware or Ultimate Launch (Free trial ( worth paying for in my opinion ) You can create a page just for your online apps and include te WIFI Toggle on that page - This is what I did for my setup. I have one page in my ultimate Launch setup just for online stuff - Shortcuts to internet radio stations, podcasts, video's. I am going to create another one for shortcuts to my favorite most used websites as well.
Hi all,
I just stepped over from windows to android, through the Nexus one, and really happy I did.
There is however 1 thing I am missing, and have looked everywhere but can't find it.
On my windows phone I have the program Pocket Keyboard (http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php) which enabled me to change any key into either any other key or a string of key. i.e. when I log into a site I would like to use my standard login name through one keypress, and not have to spell it out completely.
The question thus is, is there a way of remapping any of the keys of the virtual keyboard.
Thanks in advance
Patrick
I would also like this
No body with any idea how to enable this? is there an app available rooted or not (mine is not yet rooted, but would do that just for this opion)
Patrick
please, anybody have any idea? Is this at all possible, can I maybe adapt the stock or better keyboard? I'm willing to try to get this enabled, but need some herlp
I was also asking about thing a few days ago. I used fingerkeyboard on my xperia which also offered all this possibilities and really miss an app like that on android.
Although not the exact answer you are looking for, this will work for what you are trying to accomplish on the Nexus One.
Follow the file path: Application Menu - Settings - Language & Keyboard - User Dictionary
Then select the menu key, select the add button, then type in the "username" of your frequently used logins in the Add to dictionary prompt.
This works well for me for this specific issue.
Hi all,
Thanks in advance for answering some questions I have.
I've watched a ton of vids, done a pretty good amount of research so far, but still have a few unanswered questions about WP7.5. I will be looking at getting a Lumia 800 as that's what my carrier is offering in Canada. I'm sick of Android being flaky due to the fragmented ecosystem and am looking forward to the 'closed' nature of WP7.5 - I just want it to work. Period.
So, on to the Qs:
Can you enable a number row over the QWERTY keys on the keyboard? Alternatively, can you long-press those keys to pop up the numbers, even if they don't show?
Can you go into the settings to force the phone app to start with the dialpad as opposed to the call log/history?
Like in Smart Keyboard on android, does the first suggested word in the suggestions when typing get auto-selected when you hit the spacebar?
Are there alternative apps for StumbleUpon or Feedly available? (I couldn't find them, but I use these 2 apps reasonably often) Suggestions for similar, if no?
Functionality of the phone in Canada vs US? (ie which functions don't work: Local Scout, Bing Vision, Music search, etc etc)
Is there any quick way to change settings without having to pin them all to your home screen?
Can you make the calendar app start with Agenda view?
Thanks, I'll add more if I think of them.

>> Can you enable a number row over the QWERTY keys on the keyboard? Alternatively, can you long-press those keys to pop up the numbers, even if they don't show?
There is a Key which shows up all the numbers and other characters but its not like a popup and no long press.
>>Can you go into the settings to force the phone app to start with the dialpad as opposed to the call log/history?
Nope but there are apps which are purely number pads you can use.
>>Like in Smart Keyboard on android, does the first suggested word in the suggestions when typing get auto-selected when you hit the spacebar?
No, You need to tap and select the word.
>>Are there alternative apps for StumbleUpon or Feedly available? (I couldn't find them, but I use these 2 apps reasonably often) Suggestions for similar, if no?

No Idea on then but what do you use Feedly for ?
>> Is there any quick way to change settings without having to pin them all to your home screen?
You need to use the shortcut apps for that.
>> Can you make the calendar app start with Agenda view?
No

WRONG!
It remember the last view you were in. if you leave in agenda view, when you go back, that is the view you will see 1st.
@ROCOAFZ Never Knew that so thanks a ton for that.

Thats not true, it does auto select and use it.
Been using WP from sometime but not sure how this works if at all possible.
Like when I type HAV it shows me Have but when I hit spacebar, it does not auto complete but adds a space.

There are some words that it will auto fill in but they have to be the only possible thing you would be typing in context with the sentence. Most words have to be chosen from bar right above the text. (i like it this way)
No problem on the agenda view. Mine is always in that view so that's what i always see
1: To add to what others have said, you can tap-and-slide to add just a single number or punctuation in one motion. From the standard keyboard, put your finger down on the number/punctuation mode key, slide it to the number or punctuation you want (the keyboard will temporarily switch modes when you touch the key initially), and release. The key your finger was on (in the alternate mode) will be typed, but the keyboard will be in the original mode. Very handy.
Alternatively, you can add some registry values that will create press-and-hold options for the top keys to have numbers. I added a press-and-hold list to my comma key; sometimes it's a lot nicer than switching modes even briefly! (I use a lot of semicolons.)
3: For some reason, nobody has mentioned this yet. If the phone will auto-correct (including auto-complete), then the suggested word/completion will be bold. Pressing the Spacebar when there's a bolded suggestion will use that suggestion automatically.
If none of the suggestions are bold (because what you typed is already a valid word, or because it isn't sure what you meant to type), then you can tap on a suggestion to use it. The phone does have a setting to automatically add a space after you do this.
4: There's an app that comes up when you search for StumbleUpon, based on keyword match (it's not actually a stumbleupon app, but it targets the same kind of user). I haven't tried it (but then, I don't use SU either).
5: Vision and Music Search should both work just fine (they're not locale based at all, so far as I know). Scout... I think it works in Canada? I've never tried (I live close to the border, but not *that* close, and international data costs money so I always have it disabled). I assume Zune Pass and Directions both work as well, and those are the other two locale-sensitive features I can think of that might care.
6: Not really, but how often do you need to mess with settings? There are some apps that let you quickly reach the ones you use most often, or let you quickly reach ones that are normally a few levels deep, but no one-tap toggles yet that I'm aware of.
However, I really don't find it required to enter settings much at all. See a new WiFi network? The phone will prompt you. You'll only save a very small amount of power by leaving WiFi off when not in use; the phone is very good at putting it in a power-saving mode. I almost never need to touch any of the other settings.
Didn't notice the bold... good post ... i'm always learning something new in Windows phone
I'm trying out the Touchpad as an RDP client for my work Windows machine. With a Bluetooth keyboard and iTap RDP, it works very well, but one thing that's annoying is that Android/ICS traps certain key combinations instead of sending them through to Windows, e.g., ALT+TAB (Symbol+Tab on the HP Touchpad BT keyboard) and WIN+TAB (Home+Tab on the HP keyboard). Another one that gets trapped is WIN+E which should open an Explorer window but instead tries to launch the Android email client. Does anyone know if these Android keys can be disabled, ideally just while the RDP client is running, but worst case scenario, across the board?

I tired this and could not get it to work.. If you have got it working please post.. I have a TF101 and with the local keyboard I really want a way to use the alt tab / windows key tab options.. but both go to Android local... If anyone has a way of getting around this I would love to hear it!
ALT TAB locally really is not required when you have the nice button for recent apps
go to /system/usr/keylayout/ and see which .kl needs to be changed and where. theres a few to look at but you should find one that matches your input device.

As far as I can tell, it's not a keylayout but rather a CyanogenMod-specific enhancement to make Android work more like a desktop OS when used with an external keyboard. The problem is that it acts as a system-level override for those keybindings so that they're not passed to applications such as remote desktop clients. I've considered trying AOKP to see if it does the same thing.
I'm interested in getting a Nexus 10, especially if someone releases a keyboard cover similar to the one for Surface, as a lightweight laptop replacement, especially when used to access a Windows machine via remote desktop, but I have such a heavy dependency on ALT+TAB in my day-to-day habits that it would be pretty annoying to have that key take me to another Android app instead of switching Windows apps. Not a show-stopper, but definitely an annoyance. Hopefully standard Android 4.2 doesn't do this...
I coincided installing Linux on my tf101 as I was so upset about it.. however there is not a easy way... it would be nice to see a option to disable it for in custom roms..
I don't think 4.2 will change the behavior at all.. sadly

I know this doesn't help many folks here, but the kind folks at Jump Desktop somehow figured out how to circumvent Apple's restrictions on key events in iOS and got full keyboard support going when accessing Windows and Mac machines via RDP and VNC, so that's what I'm using very happily now from my iPad 3.
I have created exactly what you need
Hey, all, I don't know if you'll see this, but I figured out where in the android code it intercepts this and fixed it with an xposed module, which you can grab here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/keyboard-utilities-t2872579/post55350032

Also, as far as win-E and related shortcuts being consumed, that's handled by an android setting called quicklaunch, which is present in the settings app, but there's no easy way to access it. To get to it, grab nova launcher or tasker or anything else that can launch app's activities directly, then find the quicklaunch activity under the settings app. This is where you register and unregister shortcuts with the windows key and the search key. Long press on the shortcut to clear it. By default, Win-E and a few others are put in for you.
Workaround
A bit old question, but i was looking for an answer today, and did not found anything that matches my needs. Not sure if it will satisfy You, but i got a little workaround. Actually you don't need to do anything with your android device, the only thing you need for this is AutoHotkey software on your windows machine + one little script running.
How it works? It remap left ctrl+tab to act like alt+tab. That way you can use ctrl+tab(or any other combination you want) and android has no problem with it.
Script content:
LControl & Tab::AltTab
Hope it helps, it worked for me.

so this might be turnoff to some but you are on xda. we need a magisk module or something that can do this for us.
if you can disable system wide keyboard shortcuts, it would be great. and by shortcuts here is what i mean (look at the attached screenshot). in my case. i have my rog phone 3 connected to a usb c hub that has usb, hdmi, etc. (please do not tell me about the rog phone 3 and how it might have this built in because i have a custom rom installed and im sure you can do this in almost any android version there as well because its a stock rom)
my case is i use shadow (cloud gaming/computing) and so i remote control into a windows machine. i would love to disable those shortcuts so that my keyboard inputs are not interrupted by androids shortcuts.
if i alt tab or press the windows button. i dont want the android shortcuts to trigger.
please let me know if you found a solution but this most likely is achieved through adb or root. lets do actual investigation.
For those not aware of automagic:
Automagic is a automation application that uses a flow-chart interface to set-up the automations you want. It has a few pre-programmed flows (mostly hidden in the 'catalog'), but it's mainly the imagination that's the limit. So my reasoning for this post is collecting more flow charts or ideas, share them with others and hopefully inspire more.
Link
Automagic for Gleeo
Automagic premium
Automagic for gleeo is in principal for their time managing app Gleeo, but it can be used for a number of different tasks as wel.
Automagic premium is their paid app, I know that's commercial but it only features more actions/triggers/... than the free version, which is already pretty versatile on its own.
Flow charts
flow charts typically consist of
- a trigger (rectangle box with rounded corners)
- a condition (diamond box)
- an action (rectangle box)
My flow charts
- basic airplane mode by clock (see catalog by pressing the menu button)
- a basic wifi connected > disable mobile data // wifi disconnected > enable mobile data
- 2 NFC triggered flows (but they could be altered to location/time)
This app looks interesting. Love the flow chart design.
I downloaded the lite version, but there seem to be very little things I can do with it.
I dont mind paying for the pro, but would like to test the task that I wish to setup firtst; as I've already bought AutomateIt and Tasker (too complicated for my usage). AutomateIt does not have some actions that I wish to setup e.g. WIFI tethering.
Is there a trial app? or do you happen to have a Xperia S, and can confirm if the following action work:
1) trigger on/ off WIFI tethering (without intervention)
2) trigger on/ off GPS (without intervention)
3) trigger on/ off NFC (without intervention)
This application shows a lot of potential. I bought the pro version and will play around with it as soon as I have some time. In the mean time, I downloaded and activated and313's Proximity Screen On/Off flow. It works pretty well except for a weird admin problem message when trying to turn off the screen.
Overall, a good program with a lot of potential. Well done guys :good:
Edit: Enabling admin privileges for Automagic from settings solves the issue.
Been using this as a replacement for Tasker and have been very happy with it. The flowchart style profiles and logging options make creating complex profiles much easier. The other thing I like is that many options like NFC or lockscreen toggling are built in and it doesn't need all the extra addins/plugins that I needed to get things done with Tasker.
Kinda surprised this isn't popular. Any reason why? Seems like it's a very well made app.
utter! + Automagic + permanent voice recognition
Hi, good day all.
I'm trying to use command:2 (invoke permanent voice recognition) intent via automagic instead of Tasker. I much prefer Automagic and will not turn away from it. (I'm a novice re: programming language if even that)
I'll explain what I have tried so far, hopefully someone can lend a helping hand.
In Automagic I have tried "Start Activity" and "Send Broadcast" Action Types.
I'm making some progress with the "Start Activity" Action where my...
-ACTION TYPE = "Start Activity"
-ACTION = "android.intent.action.SEND"
-Explicit Component Checked...
PACKAGE NAME = "com.brandall.nutter"
CLASS NAME = "com.brandall.nutter.EIH"
EXTRAS =
"putString(command, 2);
putString(password, mypassword123)"
The ACTION results in a toast "utter! password failure for external application", it looks like the command is registering, but the password is not.
My utter! POWER USER PASSWORD = "mypassword123" literally, to make things simple... that password worked for me when invoking command:2 in Tasker. I've tried different alphanumeric passwords in utter! as well.
In other words I'm trying to set the data extras in automagic to "command:2" and "password:mypassword123", but, Automagic forces ";" and forces "putString" prestatements, if that makes any sense.
It looks like automagic has all intent Function, Variable, and Snippet options ie: putString, putBoolean, putFloat, putDouble etc.
How can I get Automagic activate the permanent voice recognition function in utter!?
It would be great to just be able to have some kind of activity shortcut to turn on off voice recognition instead of this, or just have it boot with phone boot. But I'm definately not complaining as utter! is free and very good!, thanks!
RESOLVED!
The great people at Automagic have replied to me (very quickly I might add) and have resolved my problem.
So for those of you who wish to control the permanent voice recognition of utter! via Automagic, here's the solution...
"Hi,
Your configuration almost works, only the extras field needs some small adjustments:
-ACTION: doesn't matter
-Explicit Component: Checked
-PACKAGE NAME: com.brandall.nutter
-CLASS NAME: com.brandall.nutter.EIH
-EXTRAS:
putInt("command", 4);
putString("password", "test");
It seems that utter uses an int for the command and not a string so you have to use the putInt function in this case.
The first parameter of the putInt and putString function needs to be a string, therefore the key has to be put into double quotes otherwise it would refer to a variable with this name.
Please also see the help page of action 'Script' for a description of the scripting language:
http://automagic4android.com/en/help/components#action_script
Utter also offers a plugin which can be used in Automagic with the action 'Plugin' but I'm not sure if utter allows to control the same functions using the plugin.
Automagic ROCKS!:good:
unknown cell ID's
In Llama, there's a trigger to invoke an action whereby if you are connected to unknown cell ID's the action is triggered. I wonder if it's possible to do the same on Automagic. Any ideas?
Hi,

I've been wondering that as well. This is a truly amazing app, and automating my phone has never been this fun. Automagic is compatible with all the Tasker plugins, and I have yet to find anything I can't do with this app that I could do with Tasker.
Here is part of my battery saving flow, enabling data traffic for a short while four times per hour while the screen is off (except for during nights and when battery is low), at the same time making sure not to turn off data if there is any ongoing traffic.
I could do the same in Tasker, but I find it so much easier to do when you can see the whole automation flow like this. Also, it looks impressive

It's working very well, and my battery lasts noticeably longer. Previously I was using a separate app for this, but making my own flow was more fun, and works just as well.
Here are the flows for you (one for when turning the screen off and one for when turning it on).

Hi,
also tried to import xml files into Automagic Premium (AP)
But whithin the app you just get some bad Apps to select for opening the importing file. (Look at: Menue=>Manage=>Import Flows/Widgets)
So here is how it works for me:
- search file with any file browser
- try to open it and select AP for this action
- done
Next you open AP you'll find the flow at the "Ungrouped" folder, or in the folder defined by the programmer.
Hope this can help.
Hi,
press the 3dot to open the quick menü for this flow and then press send, now you can attached the xml file here

This is best automation app i have ever used as i used tasker and lima.. But this app is so powerful and so fun.. I love it.. And so easy to use.. Recommended for everyone...
I know this is an old thread, but I just found out about it and was wondering if anyone had any amazing flows they'd like to share?
