Hi there
Is there any app that would run mp3 when the light sensor reach x% of luminescence.
I am building a scenario to get back my girlfriend and I need the music to be launched when she opens the door, so when light come on the phone.
Thanks
That's a sweet move. Have you tried tasker?
Yep, Tasker will do that.
Good luck with the girl!
Great thanks, i'll give it a try
If you need help with it, send me a pm.

This will happen tomorrow, I'll keep you informed
EDIT : Well... Delayed to next wednesday, maybe I should keep her waitin' a lil' more ;oþ
It failed the EPIC way.
1st of all she was very late because she had car issue, so when she arrived she was already pissed, then when she saw me she became mad, and finally when I tried to get back to my home, my car was not there, probally robbed...
So in response to dba.rknair, don't do it !
Lol, but did the Tasker profile work?
Not exactly, I didn't manage to configure something stable enough for it to launch the music as the door open, so I used tasker in an other way : I disabled vibration and ringtone from the phone, and activated a trigger on tasker to play the music on missed call.
So I had to call my phone, ending it on the first ring for the song to start...
But as everything were screwed up it was useless.

I can't find a help file for HTC Home anywhere, and I don't think this has been posted... anyone know what the last ringer profile is in HTC Home? It says "Automatic" at the top but I have no idea what that means.
I think that u can specify when it changes from ring to vibrates based on day and time...cant work out how to set it up though. If someone who knows could explain would be awesome

I think that when this profile is selected the device vibrates during appointments defined in the calendar and rings otherwise. But I have never tested.

Yes, that's what it does.
It goes changes when you have an appointment that is set to busy and changes back when it's over.

Almost but not quite. It goes to vibrate whenever there is an (so any, not just busy) appointment in the calendar and goes back when not. The idea of an automatic profile is great but it's executed rather ****ty in this case. Whenever I have a birthday on my calendar for example, my phone will be on vibrate all damn day.
If someone knows a fix, please enlighten us.
I tried it today... I checked before class ended and it was on vibrate. After class ended it was still on vibrate... does it change over when a call comes in? I'd love to be able to rely on this but I don't need to impress my professors with Kanye West ringtones...
BTW: Does the phone have an "immediate silence" button like most do? I know on my Moto and Samsung phones the side buttons usually did the trick... immediately silence the ringer but still allow it to go to voicemail?

If you really want a function like that, you're probably better off with something like phoneAlarm or some other freeware. They tend to have more options as to how you want it to function.
I have a similar question - I always keep my Tilt set on "Vibrate", but when I enter a new appt. in Calendar, it switches by itself to "Ringtone", and I have to keep switching it back. Any suggestions about how to keep it on "Vibrate" would be greatly appreciated!
Hi,
has anyone yet got an answer to this!!
I also found the similar issue. I have lot of birthdays / holidays and other all day events in my calendar and automatic profile always goes to vibrate mode whenever I have any all day event in my calendar!!
Is there anyways I can set it to switch to vibrate only if my calendar status is busy and not for other events/appointments when status is not busy??
Thanks.

Unfortunately not with HTC Home. It's pretty stupid in its implementation of a very nice feature.
+1, I used a lot this feature on my smartphone where sound profiles were implemented by WM, but now I am on a pdaphone with htc manila 2D and I have the same problem: vibrate mode on any appointment, even if it's a free appointment. Too bad Maybe someone is able to write a small tool to perform automatic profile in right way? Or find any msdn doc so I could try to write it in with .NET... I've searched a little on how to switch the sound profile but with no success.

I've had similar experience - automatic profile is totally unreliable on every wm 5, 6, & 6.1 phone I've tried it on. Sometimes it works and sometimes it "forgets."

I think you'd better use the Spb phone suite. The automatic profiles from Spb works perfect on appointment (based on busy status of busy or out of office...). Also it provides the time based profile which will switch profile upon the setting time frame. I have used this software for almost 1 year and felt very happy with it.

1. Gps. Connected once but since then just uses cell tower. Inside our outside with the longest i let it try to connect would be 10mins while sitting on porch.( no roof on porch clear sky and all.
2. Face book sync. Set to every hour but if it does it on its own it has error. But i i reselect sync it works.( samsung contacts face book ) not the Marketplace app.
3. Volume is very low. My iphone was louder than this phone.I checked all settings and turned to max. Barley can hear it when it in my hip case.
4. No matter what i set the Email notification ring to it just uses the Call ring. Again this is with the Email app not gmail app. Changed the setting from withing email but wont play what i select.
5. Wont play any of my 1080p MKV.( seen post elsewhere that they played avatar 1080p) Will play a 720p i have but wont play sound just video. Thats with 2 diff samples...
6. I get notifications saying ill have xx number of email. But when i go to email there is nothing new, even if i click the actual notification . Either way i check the email either apps or browser. Very weird. Gmail email.
Phone is stock with no Root installed but do have the Launcher app instead of touchwiz ui.
If u have any of these problems or have a solution please post. :Love the phone hate the problems.. Wish some one else around me had this phone so i could at least tell if mine is just a lemon or its what ill have to deal with.
Having trouble using to open G Cisco Wifi APs at work. Connects fine, sometimes works, majority of the time says connected and shows IP but wont give data to any applications.
Poor battry life
Low ring/notification volume.
Hoping these issues can be resolved :-(
Trying to decide if I'm keeping it, love all other aspects of the phone so far. Havn't attempted MKV playback.
Video recording is great, camera is good but may leave some to be desired :shrugs:
i wouldnt worry much most of those are just software issues
My captivate hasnt had any problems with GPS yet but ive read of some who have. Try this trick to enable Skyhook

(make sure u replace * with t)
Facebook sync just sucks ass. A buddy with an HTC Evo 4G has problems with it and the FB app sucks pretty bad compared to iPhone.
As far as battery drainage mine is doing pretty darn good. Check out Android System app. Its free and under tasks itll tell you what cpu usage is being taken up and u can monitor ur battery life.
Are you running FW 2.1-Update1.
And as far as volume I have no complaints on mine (switched over from 3g iPhone)
As far as the weird email xx counter, i'd remove all your accounts and then set up the default email app as an exchange server for your gmail.
Calibrate Accelerometer
Posted on AndroidForums with no results...
I tried playing Raging Thunder (driving game) and my car pulls badly to the right. Also, tried the "Bubble" leveling app and when it shows my phone to be level I'm clearly holding it at an angle.
My friend has the HTC Incredible and he can do a quick accelerometer calibration by placing his phone on a flat level surface and hitting a calibrate button. Can't find any such tool on the Captivate. Anybody?
I had no problem playing a720p movie on my captivate. Sound and video both work.

I saw a bunch of number sequences you can dial to get into all kinds of crazy menus. If there is no way to do it in the settings you might be able to do it from one of those setting screens.
Not sure where I saw it. It was on XDA around here somewhere I'll see if I can find it for you.

The xx where just taking place of Say 1 new email or 2 new email poping up. Sometimes it 4. No "x" show it was just ment as a random number amount.
Newest update as far as i know. 2.1 and i hit check for update and there was none.
Just found this app and it is one of the most amazing things I've ever experienced. It can use the light sensor to control music playback and call options. It is limited and buggy but it works well.
Block light - play/pause
Wave once - play next
Wave twice - play previous
Wave thrice - enable/disable

Oh is this your app?! If so I really enjoy it so far.
Stone things I've had issues with is getting the three waves to work. I've tried it inside and outside the app. Also, I have no idea how the pocket mode works, could you explain how to properly use it? And would it be possible to add a confirmation on closing the app?
Edit: this is your app! Great work. I just got the three wave to work, takes a bit getting used to. And maybe an idea for a feature, but would you think adding a sound notification for when gestures are detected? Like a Facebook pop sound when it detects a single wave, a double pop for a two wave gesture, etc?

I just downloaded the app this morning great work, and I agree some notification would be great

That's a great idea! I'll see about adding it.
Pocket Mode only doesn't allow the controls to get enabled without the screen on and app in foreground. You still need to disable it before putting your phone in your pocket.
Some people had asked for it since they left the app running and even though the controls were disable when walking the 3 wave gesture would get triggered just by their phone moving in their pocket and re-enable and start playing music and skipping around like crazy.

Oh well that makes sense, I've just been putting in my pocket while a song was on so it would turn off. Since my jeans area pretty slim I haven't had those issues. I'm enjoying the new update, especially since it won't accidentally close on me. An issue that I have been encountering is that the app will so recognizing gestures after about 10-15 minutes of the screen off. I have to relaunch it to get it recognizing again. I'm curious about the pro features and I'm amost ready to purchase it but would like to see this issue fixed along with an optional sound notification. Also, would it be possible to implement launching the app with a long hold of search button? I have a shortcut on my home screen because I've been using it a lot and this would make it more convenient. If you put that in pro then I'm in.
Edit: oh and maybe add an Upton for which app it can control?

I'm not at the point where I'm considering putting another ROM on my shiny (literally!) new Z3, but the biggest thing I miss from Slimroms is the apparent total lack of Quiet Hours or anything like it. (In case you don't know, it lets you prevent the phone from making a noise, vibrating, lighting up etc when an incoming text, phone call etc occurs). Apparently, when I'm sleeping I'm always one piece of spam, or an alert that someone's replied to one of my posts here, from being woken up. And i'm not desperate to mute my phone because then i'll miss (potentially) important phone calls.
How are you dealing with this?

there is lots of planner/tasker app in play store for you to manage almost everything you want
:good:
Does the Z3 have the "Smart Connect" app? If so there are automation options there. For example, you can set it to go to complete silent, start the alarm and clock app IF the phone is plugged in and it is between x and y hours.
Smart connect set new event based on time, set time start, volume off, vibrate off, set end time volume up, vibrate on.

Just tried it, but it's no good because I can't silence notifications without silencing incoming phone calls at the same time. The app suggests what I want isn't possible without a custom rom.
Have a look at this absolute fantastic app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nightskeeper
This is the best quite hours solution in Play Store imo and should be exactly what you need. btw you can define whitelists and the app has an excellent emergency function: when someone calls e.g. more than three times in 5 minutes, the app lets the phone ring although quite hours are activated

Using this for now. Limited but at least it works. Using it to turn off data and sound so it's basically like turning the power off.
First let me say, I have an Amazon Dot, and I love it. From playlists to appointments, trivia questions and timers, its great.
But on the phone it is driving me nuts.
For the Dot to work, I quite clearly have to say 'Alexa.' Then it works perfect;y. The phone on the other hand responds to, well I don't know what? If the TV is on and someone says, 'exactly'it opens. But 99% of the time I have no idea what it responded to. It comes on about 15 times a day to no really recognisable 'Alexa' command.
Anyone else?

Yes I have seen that too , it isn't as helpful as assistant by Google
I have had Alexa pop up for no apparent reason too. (And on a few occassions, NOT pop up to "Alexa")
Seems strange that there's no Voice Training for it (unless I'm missing it?)
Anyway, the funniest one happened today: I sneezed - and boom - Alexa
Yep turned her off on the U11. Never worked correctly compared to the dot.
The only thing I don't like is everytime the Alexa commercial comes on the TV those 2 idiots keep making it pop up and I'm 25 feet away in my living room lol.

Hi guys,
I have Alexa switched off but on occasion Google Assistant switches on when nothing has been said, maybe that is the same issue as OP but it's not 15 times a day. It's more like why did my screen come on situation...
