Ho guys see heaps good word about this app but I'm not sure how gingerbread friendly is it...? Since it's not a cheap app anyone got any comments?

I use Tasker on Android 2.3.4. Works great, but some stuff doesn't work, like task killing, and GPS toggle. It's not a Tasker limitation, it's the OS itself that blocks stuff.

Yeh that's why I'm a bit unsure. I want to use it to control turning n and off my 3g radio. Greenpower simtimes doesn't turn on the radio when I unlock the screen...

Need dev for simple widget.

Would it be possible for someone to make a simple widget just to toggle the app wireless tether to start and stop? I know quite a few people who really want a simple way to just toggle it. And I know its just being lazy to not click in but I tether a good twenty times a day and its tedious.

Do a search for "tethering widget". I guess that is what you want.
Close but that turns on my hot spot which I don't use. I use the app wireless tether.

I don't know a lot about Tasker, but you might be able to accomplish this using that app. Give it a shot.
I can't get it to do anything beyond opening the app. Basically I'm trying to get something that will open the app and hit an on screen button. Then preferably go back to the home screen.

App for data tracking?

Hey
I'm trying to find out about apps that track data usage.
As most of you know, vzw will eventually switch to a tiered dataplan. So I guess that when my 2 years are up, I will have to switch.
Anyway, im sure there are apps that can tell me exactly how much data I really use on average and I'm wondering which app would be the best one.
Preferably a free app.
Any suggestions?

(Q) - Android app to modify physical power button features

Hey guys,
Haven't been able to find this and it's been driving me slightly nuts. Is there any android app that allows you to change the options that come up when you hold your power button?
Right now my G2 only has power/air plane mode/silent mode.
I would like to change my button to have a few more options like restart/wireless/hotspot. I am NOT looking for a widget that gives these options. I'm also hoping I don't have to flash a new rom. If the app needs root that's fine becaue I use visionary.
Please let me know if you guys know of an option.
Thanks in advanced

I'm also interested in this, I believe it would be a wonderful thing.

This really needs to be posted in a phone-specific forum rather than the general one as your answer will probably have hardware limitations. That being said, I doubt Android will allow something like that without a new ROM. IMO

[Q] Phone notifications on TF?

forgive me if this has been posted somewhere.
Is there a way to receive notifications from my EVO 3D on my Transformer?
the only thing i can think of is maybe like vnc server apps like that i know i can access my phone from my tablet home screen and all ... i think that might be the best option of apps similar to that.
That was the first thing i considered also. Seems like a battery drainer to keep running all the time(in my head anyway). I was hoping for a bluetooth type option(also a drainer lol).
Sorry on bluetooth option,not much I can suggeest on that one good luck

A way to auto-start GPS when navi starts?

Back in the Dinc days I had tasker start the GPS automatically whenever navigation started...but it doesn't look like that is possible with ICS/JB. I'm running beans 9
Does anybody have any idea on how to get this through tasker or other means? Thanks
Personally, I just leave my gps on all the time...
I don't see why Tasker wouldn't work though...

You can use Tasker, but you also need the Secure Settings app with the Root Helper installed in order for 3rd party apps to modify GPS settings. Why Google restricted it like that in Android 3.0+, I'm really not sure...

Phone Weaver can do it...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So do I, there is no reason not to really.
Leaving GPS on doesn't affect battery life enough to even notice.
