[APP][2.2+]NotifyWake (save power buttons)

Well everything about the android is good and getting better, but weve seem to have neglected the physical hardware. namely the power button.
This application will wake the phone for 10 seconds when any notification(theoretically) is received. this includes changes to existing notifications too. this will reduce the need for using the physical power button to turn the phone back on, this is very usefull for IM apps, email, or things that require short reaction timespans(for many people SMS)
In combination with the notification power widget(or another app that can turn off the screen) you can reduce the use of the button and preserve its lifespan.
This app leverages the accessibility api of android to detect when notifications are changed, and accessibility must be enabled by the user.
installation: install like you would normally(from attachment) and then go to settings > accessibility options > NotifyWake
it will run only when its been selected from the accessibilty.
P.S.: feel free to let me know of any ideas or problems with it.
[update]
added in timeout options and some other experimental features, havnent had much time to add stuff but what i wrote a long time ago
[update 2]
added in whitelist/blacklist filter options, got rid of the osd notify(it isnt finished nor intended to be a part of this app) remember, enable in accessories
[update 3 may/29/2012]
-fixed bug where if filter is disabled, it doesnt function.
+added api 15 compatibility for appearance(functionality remains unaffected so far)
+added fastscroll/thumbscroll on filter activity
*attempted to make seekbar item match default items themes, if anyone can help would be nice

I tested this on my Optimus Chic and it works great, although i only tested it with SMS.

Juice Defender actually uses more juice than its saves. By default wifi gets turned off when the device goes so sleep. All that stays awake is you mobile data, unless and app keeps the wifi on. Most android devices have a very good battery life, requiring you to charge at most once a day unless the device is being taxed by constant use. I suggest you charge when you go to sleep and get rid of Juice Defender. This app works perfectly and I get my happy 12-18 waking hours on my device, unless playing games. On my other android device which i use only for calls, 2 days without charge and no battery profile managers

curious what internet has to do with this app. im not familiar with juice defender. only cases that i i think it wouldnt work well would be when an app sends a notify because the phone sleeps. in which case i would find a different app...
i will add in a way to make an ignore list.

Another good little app.

useful app, however i found that it bypasses the screen lock. would be good if u fix that. useful app nonetheless, keep up the good work!

interesting, are you using a 3rd party lockscreen? nothing in the source touches the lock screen. in fact, this app doesn't have that permission in the manifest.

I realised its a user problem, nth to do wif ur app. so sry.

its all ok man

S3 pet peeves

I've had my S3 for a couple of weeks now, and while I've decided to abstain from the ROM merry go round for the time being, I have a list of things I'd like to see:
1. Changeable mouse pointer. It's too small and I can't really see it very well.
2. I don't see a way to select the back/menu/home buttons with my Bluetooth mouse.
3. I have the MHL adapter and need to be able to change the overscan in landscape mode. Also audio won't come out of the HDMI interface.
Otherwise it's an amazing device. This is a pretty short list, maybe I'll come up with more later. So far so good.

Pet Peeve 1 can be fixed by going on the "ROM merry go round"

1.) group sms in the stock messaging app does not properlywork
2.) Vibration cant be customized for notifications wit the built in program that lets you change vibration patterns

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. If I can find enough reasons to make me want to switch.

No "Stay awake while charging"
Unlocked Verizon GS3

For me, No Google Wallet...

Things I have issues with currently:
Wifi is off, would you like to turn it on? or there are wireless networks available notifications. I have them disabled when opening a high data app with mobile data enabled, they still popup and are super annoying. There is a hack I need to try for this.
The MTP mount for media transfer to your SD card. It requires special drivers and makes it difficult to transport many files at once to or from and does not allow it to mount UMS (universal mass storage) which previously was the standard to work with car radios, dvd players, etc. I have a hack in place using a script now that allows me to mount UMS for my external SDCard, but is still an annoyance.
If you use a 32GB or greater sdcard, it has to be formatted by the phone or in windows to extfat32, which is an enhanced version of the FAT32 file system allowing for greater than 4GB files and a less heavy table of contents using more processing. This would be great except its Microsoft proprietary and because Samsung doesn't have the full specs on it, it loses and corrupts files on the card quickly when you start using it. Also, ROMS cannot support it, it was designed by MS to be hazardous to open source and GNU licensing. There are tools you can download to format FAT32, which I have had to do.
S Voice, it kind of blows. I miss my quick button press to open google voice command which is roughly 5x better, now S Voice is opened when I double tap home and I have to unlock my phone and go to the google widget and hit the mic to call on google voice which lowers the convenience of voice commands drastically.
The Samsung internet browser is lacking. It does not resize text to fit the screen on double tap properly and makes it more difficult despite the large screen. It keeps webpages loaded in memory even after reboot unless you close them in the window manager which you have to scroll to the top of the page and click a button instead of being in the menu button menu. It opens a new window often when I click on links....
The modem and radios are weak and unstable at times. I am constantly dropping my data connection in known good areas and with wifi. To top it off, I get the wifi notification AGAIN to connect to a network when that happens.
It has an overactive screen auto brightness which makes pics I view look like crap when they are actually not too bad if the screen wasn't on minimum brightness.
Settings are not in great order. There are three different settings and areas portraying just to haptic feedback. Did you enable it under sounds? What about disabling it being disabled again by default every time power saving mode is enabled? Did you change the vibration power from zero? Um....
Samsung has way too many unnecessary notifications of its own cluttering the notification screen. I get four from just plugging in headphones. Wireless notification is always there by default.
Boot time can be much faster, its actually internally boot looping in order to check authenticity of system files to void warranty claims if custom. The new unlocked boot loader boots in at least half the time, maybe less. Don't like the 4G LTE boot logo or loud unnecessary noise on boot either.
Verizon is dumbing down the search in the next OTA update and all phones from mid-July already are updated because of the apple patent lawsuit that disallows searching of local content on a mobile device on devices not running iOS!? I know I'm not taking that update.
Thank you thank you thank you for the unlocked bootloader leak now.
Things I like:
This list would be long, but I'm just going to say it is an amazing device for media consumption with its screen and features, battery life is impressive, the cameras are great, its fairly smooth and fast in navigation, and it just looks great now that I've got a case on it. Makes iPhones look fat and stubby. I have been having a blast with NFC tags, put one on my chest freezer to automatically open up the drink up page on untappd for checkins when I grab a beer. Soon I'll be making a few pages online that I can edit so that I can program NFC tags with the links and remotely manage the content they bring up.

I have Extended Controls installed. It has a stay awake while charging toggle. My S3 actually stayed on while charging. I had to use the toggle to turn it OFF.

I switched to the Chrome browser which is a lot better than the stock one. I like that I can sync pages from my desktops.

It doesn't have reception as well as a Motorola would/did. Not sure if these upcoming updates will make reception better but I get weak reception in places my DX never had a problem with. Probably jump on a RAZR around tax time if nothing improves by then... Only issue

I use another app called "Stay Awake." It's nothing more than a 1x1 widget. Although, every time I reboot my phone, I need to toggle the widget again. The setting doesn't stick on a reboot.

Although, Chrome doesn't reflow text to fit zoom in/out of a page. Neither does the stock browser, as mentioned previously.
Opera mobile browser is my new default on the Galaxy S III and has been quite fast, reflows zoomed text wonderfully and Opera Link provides a synch with desktop Opera.

PSA: If you turn on S Voice "Wake Up", you will have a bad time!

So.. there I was.. on a date at a packed movie theater watching Gravity 3D IMAX.. I had put my Note 3 on vibrate right before the movie, and put it in my pocket..
And then.. during a totally quiet scene.. S Voice started talking to me.. Thinking i had woken it up! Shoving my hand into my pocket and hitting the volume rocker, did not shut it up.. I kept asking me to repeat myself.. LOUDLY
So I had to take the bright ass phone out of my pocket, while half the theater was giving me dagger eyes, and quickly turned it off. Which took another 10-20 seconds.. I got dagger eyes when i left the theater as well..
After the movie, I tested S Voice.. Putting the phone on vibrate does NOT quiet S Voice.. you need to actually turn down that sound setting individually. Sigh.. That just seems silly.
I never used S Voice Wake Up except to show off the phone.. so now, I am just not using S Voice at all. Safer that way.. and the home button works SOO much faster with it off.

Lol. I'm sorry that you went through that. Thanks for the heads up. Seems like a headache. It would be nice for s voice to silence during vibrate. What a shame

I love that I can wake up S voice by voice, but there is maybe 1 false positive at least during the day so far. I hope an update can improve it.

Hi! When I'm in my car, I use AutomateIt to turn on Bluetooth, so that it links with my car. But, even when I have turned off S-voice, it automatically turns on.
Any idea how to turn it off permanently?
Thanks!

best is go to settings / general/appliaction manager side scroll in application manager, see section under " all" and select s voice " disable" .thats it !
If you want to enable it, go "same place" but when in application manager, side scroll across to the "disable section" and enable it.

Note to self, turn off S Voice when watching a movie that might possibly has the word "galaxy" in it lol.

NFC Tags/Stickers

Anybody used any with their new Moto X yet?
I ordered these last night.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/r.html?C=3...YGZQYTAUHAGQMA&H=TA8XIFSEL16HP8YFHXBP6I5U108A
Topaz 512 chips by WhizTags.
I'll let you know if they work, don't see any reason they shouldn't though.

I'd also be interested in what you use them for. I never got them for my Galaxy S4 because I was never sure what I would do with them. I understand how they work and what the potential uses are, but what is useful in the real world?

I'm currently using some rewritten droid tiles tags that I was using with my galaxy nexus. They work, but the Trigger app flashes on the screen when I scan them.
I've been using tags with profiles for a while now and I don't think I could go back. The automation achieved by tags beats any other process I've tried.
For example, when I leave my room I scan a tag which turns off WiFi and changes volume settings. Then, when I get to my car I scan another tag that turns on Bluetooth, launches Car Home Ultra, connects to my Bluetooth FM transmitter, and plays Pandora. Its much easier than unlocking the phone and changing the settings and launching the apps manually.

I plan on attaching one to my car dock for launching google play music, and pairing with my stereo.
And maybe putting one on my TV remote for launching Netflix or something.
But really I'm just looking forward to experimenting.

I really liked having root so I could modify the NFC apk to allow NFC with the screen locked or off. I know its a security concern, but unlocking the screen is a minor inconvenience.

I'm using this xposed module to activate torchlight without turning on the device and it works like a charm.

It would be reeeeaaaly neat wenn they could also add NFC to this module!!
EDIT: I already wrote to that guy (Wanam) few hours ago asking if there was a possibility of having such a module in future..
His answer was: "No plans for a HW toggle for NFC" [emoji53]

No. The screen must be on and unlocked. This makes it too inconvenient to overcome the usefulness. If I have to power on and unlock the screen I might as well just manually turn on or off whatever feature I wanted at that point.

I used to use them with my Galaxy nexus. Here's what my setup was:
Office - disable BT, enable wifi, and set all sounds to vibrate
Car - enable BT, disable wifi, set sound to appropriate level and launch Spotify
Home - disable BT, enable wifi, and set sound to appropriate level
I would scan them upon arrival at one of those places. While they were useful, I found that there wasn't anything that they could do that I couldn't also do with Tasker. Although, I think the NFC tags are probably a better option since NFC uses minimal power as compared to Tasker functions (depending upon how you set them up, that is).
I haven't set the NFC stuff up since I got my X, but I will likely do so soon.

I actually believe you can accomplish what you are talking about with an app called tasker. There is a plugin that allows that very thing along with custom voice commands. Tasker does require some tinkering and setup but there is plenty of tutorials and information on Xda about it. Hope that gets you going

To use command the mic will have to be listening all the time believe. Would probably kill your battery life but would be cool to skip lock screen with voice.

That let's you use it from the lock screen, the screen still has to be on. The OP was looking for something that would do it with the screen off. I am sure tasker can do this though I have yet to try it myself.

My MotoX had this feature. Not sure how it was accomplished, but with the phone sitting next to me on night stand I could use Ok Google and use it without ever having to touch the phone.

My advice? Get a Android Wear device. I just got a LG G Watch from Cowboom for less than $80 delivered. It was refurbished, but in perfect condition.
It has the "always on" Google Now listening ability, but I think it's actually better than the Moto X because you don't have to pull your phone out to see the results - they come right on the watch. If it is too small, then you can push the results to your phone, but the vast majority of the time getting the results on the watch work just fine.
I too wanted the always listening capabilities of the Moto X for my G3. But after getting the watch, I can say that I'm much happier having the watch because it does so much more too.
