Didn't see a thread for this so I thought i'd start one.
Anyone use this app to automate? Been using it for a few weeks and love it.
Here are some of the profiles I've created/been using.
- Headset = when inserted, pop up a menu of apps. When removed, kill said apps and mute media volume
- Calender = silent the phone when I am in a meeting (entry = busy)
- Work = Turn down all volume/notifications while i'm at work (730-400, M-F)
- Home = When home, turn on WiFi. When i leave, turn it off
- Power = when charging, pop up a menu for which power mode: night, charge, USB, or Car. Perform tasks depending on which mode is used
- Movies = when at the movie theater, silent completely. Turn volume on when I leave
- Night = Turn on Airplane mode when sleeping, on every 15 minutes to sync in data
Anyone else have any good profiles to share??
I turn on GPS when "My Tracks" is launched...
I created a Task to turn GPS on and then launch Navigation. Then I added a shortcut to that Task w/ the Navigation to icon...
I turn my phone to vibrate when I'm near work networks...
Silence my phone and turn off data-sync from midnight-7.
I've been trying to make a profile that will shut off my WiFi when I go out of range and disconnect, but I can't get it to work properly.
I really don't know why Android will let you keep you WiFi on when you're not connected for an extended period of time.
Tasker
I use a few.
1] Kill 3G, launch wifi when at work or home. Autoconnect.
2] Set security flag when NOT at work or at home
3] If security flag is OFF, PIN is OFF on device boot.
4] On receipt of SMS, play a longish sound so I can find it.
5] If I can't find it, different SMS turns off WiFi, turns on GPS and 3G, waits for GPS, and responds to me with location via SMS. Also engages high volume setting.
6] If I don't like where it is, yet another SMS will initiate a lock sequence. This silences all alerts, sets the security flag on, and times out the screen. Then, wakes the device up with a message with my email and a nice request to return, sends me the GPS location again via SMS, and begins to popup a lock screen via Tasker every six seconds. The lock screen can be bypassed, but on reboot the device will require a PIN to access as the security flag will be set.
Now, you might say- why not use a task killer or uninstall it? I thought about that. If i'm not at home or work (within 50meters) all programs that are capable of installing, uninstalling, modding, or killing are PIN locked. NICE!

I like the security flag and locking. Great idea. I'm going to have to try and set that one up.
Currently I,
1. Turn on WiFi at home and off when I leave.
2. Turn off email checking at 11pm and back on at 5am
3. Turn on GPS when Maps is opened.
4. Launch Sirius when headset is plugged in (the only time I use the "headset" is an aux cable into my car stereo.

you can either use the 'wifi near' profile, or use gps as a location and turn on/off wifi based on that location.
i prefer the gps. the time between checks can be set in tasker as well. I really don't notice the battery kill and keep wifi/gps on while i'm at home...off at work
hope it helps!

About how long do you have between GPS checks, so that I'll have a rough estimate of what doesn't kill the battery too fast?

pretty sure i have it to whatever tasker defaults as. Maybe a minute or two longer. GPS doesn't touch the battery unless its working (you see the satellite). Give it a shot and see how it works. If you don't like it, it can be changed easily

Yeah I was trying not to use gps, don't care about connecting to WiFi, just don't want it to still be polling for a signal when I forget to turn it off.

if you use wifi near, it'll turn on wifi to check every few minutes.
gps is set to poll 2 minutes when the screen is on, 10 minutes when screen is off. I find no problems with it on the battery
I know, but I'm not near WiFi often enough to bother connecting. I just want it so that the occasional time I do connect that when I forget to turn it off when I leave the area it doesn't stay on for the next hour till I notice.

I'm not sure how to set this up. Could you please explain how you did this?
Thanks!
I have a bunch... we need to figure out how to share the code for these...
Quiet night: Silent, wifi off, sets a variable that i am in sleepmode
Sleep mode emergency calls - if sleepmode is no, turns it off and lets it ring only on calls from certain numbers
Meeting silent: silent mode when I am in meetings
Face down silent: ****s it up if i turn it face down
Low battery: notifies me, turnjs off wifi and gps, drops brightness, switches to vibrate
Home: turn off gps, turn on wifi
No Keyguard: turns off keyguard and leaves on display when plugged in
Work: wifi off (security at work), drops volume on everything,
@mianthropic777 - something to note on your low battery profile. Vibrate actually uses much more energy than audible ringers. Might want to switch that one up

I made a profile to turn wifi off one minute after the phone sleeps. It's an event so the wifi will not turn itself back on. I also made a widget to disable it incase I'm using the wifi to download a file.
how do you make a profile that silences and responds to sms's at movies?
I mean how does it know when you are at a theater?
Can you make a widget to turn this mode on with a touch of the widget?
Thanks
You could easily make a widget to do this for you, or you could set a gps location for your theater to do it automatically.
I've got a few that haven't been mentioned:
- When connected to my home wifi network, keyguard pattern is disabled
- Whenever I answer an incoming call, in-call volume automatically set to 1 (I have some loud obnoxious friends)
- When phone placed face down, switches to vibrate mode and gives me a single short vibrate to confirm. Also screen timeout switched to 7 seconds (shortest possible). Exit task (when phone flipped back up) reverts to whatever ring mode it was in, and gives 2 short vibrates to confirm
- When I launch Pandora, media volume automatically set to 1

It says keyguard pattern is not available for my phone, why?
(yes I have an Incredible)
I have it set to turn in airplane mode while im in school (high school 8-3) and check for messages every thirty minutes.
Saves the hell out of my battery. I leave around 6:30 in the morning and get home around 7:30 at night...usually have about 40% when I get home.

Hello,
I wanted to get some suggestions on how i can save battery power on my Xyboard 10.1" Verizon LTE tablet mounted on the dash of my car.
Running Android 4.0.4.
It's power is USB hardwired to a 3v plug (done professionally by local shop) that only gets power when i turn my car on.
I'm using Tasker to launch tasks based on it's power state.
USB power off:
- mobile data off
- wifi off
- bluetooth off
- kill app Sirius
- kipp app Poweramp
- go home
- screen off
USB power on:
- wait 1 second
- mobile data on
- wifi on
- bluetooth on
- toggle bluetooth
- toggle bluetooth (to make sure it connects to bluetooth audio receiver attached to car's stereo headunit)
- launch app Sirius
Is there a "super sleep" mode that i can launch from tasker that will shut everything down except for a trickle of the Android OS listening for a wakeup command?
I noticed under Tasker's display actions these 2 options:
- Lock
- System Lock
does anyone know what they do? Will activating these conserve battery power?
I'm basically asking how to put my tablet into the deepest sleep possible, while still allowing it to wakeup with USB charging power on.
many thanks!
Spending such a high percentage of time at 100% battery charge is actually bad for the battery. So, whether or not you run on battery power, you will inevitably notice a decrease in battery life over time.
If you're not going to use your car for an extended period of time, you could power the tablet off, but you probably already knew that.
Do you leave the tablet mounted in the car at all times, or do you take it with you like a cell phone?
(Sorry, I do not know the answers to your questions about Tasker.)

Interesting point about keeping battery at 100%...makes sense.
i leave the tablet in the car always...the mounting bracket has a keyed lock.
however, even after i turn off data,wifi,gps,etc, i still loose 10% battery over a 12hr period. that's very acceptable.
Do you know of an app that puts the phone/tablet into deep sleep (instead of me using tasker to turn all off)?

A screen on the connections are lit
A screen off after a minute the connections are disabled and then be reactivated , a timeout is set in the menu settings
You can also choose the type of connection settings to be excluded if 3g or wifi. In the case of no choice the program will handle them individually, giving priority to wifi when you lock on to the one stored on the device within one minute of screen otherwise you will connect to wifiYou can also choose the type of connection settings to be excluded if 3g or wifi. In the case of no choice the program will handle them individually, giving priority to wifi when you lock on to the one stored on the device within one minute of screen otherwise you will connect to wifi

The only permissions that the application uses are those of the management of mobile connection and WIFI
The application has a very simple graphical and minimal menus and options without getting lost in unnecessary
Download on Google Play, it is sufficient to look Battery Saver 2014
Hi Guys.
I need help for testing a new app I've been working on.
It's an app that's truely "set and forget", that makes your smartphone even smarter.
When you're tired and just wants to sleep, plug in your phone to the charger and BAM the clock app is there, ready for you to set the alarm.
It will do various tasks when you plug in a charger, eg:
Open an app you define
Activate daydream (Screensaver) after a certain interval
Enable silent mode
Enable flightmode (Requires root)
Reboot phone after certain interval (Requires root)
Go to homescreen when charger is unplugged
Play sound when charger plugged/unplugged
Sound when charger plugged/unplugged
The reboot functionality is especially useful if you (like me) forget to reboot your phone sometimes. All Android phones run low on memory over time, and a reboot is the most effective way to avoid this.
This app won't run unless the phone is in charger = Next to none impact on battery life.
Reasons for app permissions:
MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS - To be able to set silent mode
BIND_DREAM_SERVICE - To be able to start DayDream (On Android 5.0+)
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - To know when the app rebooted the device (and act accordingly)
What do you think guys? Anything you will use?
If you have any suggestions/feature requests please don't hesitate to mail me at [email protected] or put an answer below- I'm fully open to new suggestions and they are very welcome.. :victory:

Testing. Suggestions:
1. Optional notification sound/vibration when plugged/unplugged.
2. Optional notification sound/vibration when: a) full charged; b) unplugged and bellow certain battery level.
3. I think it must have a timer to activate the airplane mode (not all the times we charge that it should be enabled..., perhaps only at night).

Thanks, I'll add them to my upcomming feature list..
I just pushed a new release to Google Play
Changelog:
Declare superuser permission in manifest
Dialog boxes for root settings
Timer for flightmode
Sound when charger plugged/unplugged
I've approved the app for production.
Installation is now only to install from Google Play..
Enjoy guys
Thanks, but the airplane mode is (yet) to be more flexible.
If some other features come, I'll be able to uninstall other apps that has "similar" functionality, for instance:
1. Battery temperature on notification.
2. Options for not warning sound while headphones are connected, or while in call.
Seems a promising app. Thanks.

What more flexibility do you want in the airplane mode?
You're thinking battery temperature when charging only? Or all the time?

I want to start airplane mode only when charging overnight. If any charge starts the airplane mode, I'll lose calls and messages in the middle of the day. I'm an intensive user of the phone. I need to charge frequently, not only overnight. You've add the option (timer) to start airplane mode after some seconds, but it would be good, imho, if we have a period (from time to time) where the airplane mode is started. Charging outside of this period won't trigger the airplane mode.

The more configurability the better: if the user can chose for a permanent notification, it will help to keep the app alive.
I myself would like to set a temperature level when it reaches a predefined temperature.

Ultra Battery Saver is an application that design to prolong your battery life by using ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS TWEAK and ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. The Free version is already functional and powerful, Pro version would unlock more advanced features that required root access.
Link to Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=exa.free.ubs
If you want to try the Pro version too (Paid App):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=exa.pro.ubs.r
HIGHLIGHTED FEATURES:
Auto Pilot:
Enable the application to work in artificial intelligence mode, it will automatically choose the best settings for your system.
No Useless Animation:
Usually, there are a lot of battery saving apps out there, with a lot of useless animation and effect, which is unnecessary and drain battery power. Since our policy is focusing on functionality, there are no such animation or effect in this app.
Privacy Care and No Ads:
Before displaying ads, application would need to download ads content over internet, which will waste bandwidth and battery power, also user data will be collected which in most case a privacy risk to user. Since its violet the policy of this application, we have make sure there are NO ADS in this application, in both free and pro version. Also we make sure data that processed by this application would never leave user's device.
APPLICATION FEATURES:
Smart Wifi:
When this feature is turned on, application would automatically turn off wifi when device's screen turned off, and turn it back on when device's screen is unlocked, user could choose to turn on or turn off wifi only in pro version.
Smart Sync:
This feature is used to minimize the time of sync run on the device. By Default, when this feature is enabled, device would TURN ON SYNC 5 MINUTES FOR EVERY 1 HOUR. User could choose more time duration in pro version.
Smart Brightness:
When this feature is turned on, application would automatically adjust device screen brightness base on the battery level to archive battery saving, user could choose auto mode ,day mode, or night mode in pro version.
Power Charging:
This feature could speed up battery charging by limited some features of device during charging, such as turn off wifi. We recommend only enable this option when you are not using your device during charging. User could choose to which option to apply during charging in pro version.
Wake Lock:
Note: This is not a battery saving feature and should only used when need only.
Wake Lock is a feature that ensure the device screen never turn off automatically when you need to do activity that need the screen to stay on, Example : Using GPS.\n\nBut this feature may drain extra battery power on some condition, so please turn it on only when needed and clear the wake lock after used.
FAQ:
Q1: Why we don't have task killer feature?
A1: Since we know about how android device works, and we even investigate the way of task killer work before, we can't add this feature because it violate our policy. When killing a service using task killer, android system would always automatically restart that service, then task killer will try to terminate that service again, just like a never-ending cat mouse game. Also, restart a service in most case will use more battery than leaving it run in the background, the only way to safely stop a service is using the android built in Force Stop feature, which is ONLY AVAILABLE IN OUR PRO VERSION.
