Hi all, is there an app or a mod that allows for adjusting the phone settings based on location? For example, when i get home i would like it to connect to my wifi but when i leave home i want wifi to turn off and such like.
Thanks in advance.
Tasker does all of this and more. V

Thank you so much!!
Juice Defender does this as well for the WiFi. It learns the locations you use the most and turns the WiFi on in those locations.

WIFI Controlled by location, eg. You select area's on Google maps for wifi coverage, wifi is turned on only for these locations and off elsewhere, saving battery.
If latitude is used then could location data be used from that service?
What do you think?

I would love something like this. Had a feeling something existed already but I can't find it.
check out locale
There's a free app already that does this--Y5 Battery Saver
Very buggy though when I tried it, so it wasn't usable.

i use locale for this. though i installed a cell plugin so it doesnt need gps to be on.
basically, it turns on wifi when im home and turns it off when i leave. apart from that... i also have locale turn off almose everything + brightness to 0% when i hit 30% battery.
lastly, i also have locale turn off syncing at night to squeeze in some more juice during the day without having to charge.
'Tasker' is good at this and then some!

Couldn't have said it better, better yet, I have it set to turn wifi on at home and then when not home it turns wifi on for a minute every 15 minutes to check and if it recognizes a familiar SSID, it will connect!

...nice setup mate
Which Applikation can automatically activate my favorite WLANs when my phone reached the home or business GSM Cells?
Y5?
One more, which can handel Telefone Profiles?
Tasker can switch WiFi on/off based on cell tower or GPS location. It also has "network" location but I wouldn't suggest using that one for anything you need some accuracy on.
You can also simply check for a specific SSID every N minutes and enable Wifi if it's available.
As for telephone profiles, not sure what you mean there.
Tasker, Tasker, Tasker.

I'm assuming he means silent, loud, ringtone etc.
Thanks for your reply.
The Y5 does what i need for WiFi very good.
But, I need also a tool which change the Ringtone Volume if I reach my office Cell ID or my Home Cell IDs.
I think tasker can do this, but it needs much battery power said some users.

I am using tasker and my battery performance improved thanks to it. I think it depends on the setup.
I am new to using Tasker and am using it on my Nexus 5. For those Nexus 5 users who are using Tasker, are you having any problems? Do you know if Tasker has been updated to fully work with 4.4? I have checked Tasker's wiki and the last update for 4.0+ is/was 6/17/2013.
Basically what I am getting at, as I am building profiles/tasks, I am trying to determine if/when my profile/task does not work, it is me or is it Tasker not being updated?
I have searched the Nexus 5 Themes and Apps forum here and did not see much mention regarding Tasker. I am posting here rather that Q&A as Tasker is an app.
I appreciate your help.
Mark
I use it. No problem for me

Only issue I've run into so far is with the Secure Settings plug in not toggling gps on one of my profiles. Other than that all my other profiles work without issue.

I also have issues with Secure Settings, but that's because Secure Settings hasn't been properly updated I believe.
All my profiles work with Tasker. I had to change some of the complicated ones to reference different directory paths but otherwise fine. Secure Settings profile is working too, but thats to turn off pattern lock....

Turning off pattern lock (I assume is the same as lock screen) is the problem I am having trying to get it to work.

I use Widgetlocker as my main lock screen. When I am not at home, I want the Android stock pattern lock behind it. When I am at home (triggered by WiFi connection) I want it off.
Pattern lock and lock screen are not the same. Pattern lock has it's own specific setting within Secure Settings.
If you want to disable the basic lock screen go to Display/Keyguard and set it to off.

Yes...I want to disable the basic lock screen. I did go to Display/Keyguard and set it to off for the task. I also set the exit task to on. I will try it out again when I get home.
Still trying to find a way for tasker to toggle LTE... secure settings lte toggle plugin only works on cm based roms..

Keylock off works fine for me.
Tasker works perfect for me so far. Also, no issues on Secure Settings. At least for the functions I use it for.
My last Tasker creation was using my old Nexus 4 as a motion camera/IP camera. Whenever I connect to my wifi it disables the camera, Once I leave it turns it on.
Gets pretty creepy when you get false positives and it takes pictures of nothing though
I am having significant problems with Tasker on the N5. I am not able to set profiles by using the cell near state. Whenever I scan for towers when I'm on LTE it returns no results. If I put my phone on 3G, then it finds towers.
This was never a problem on my EVO LTE. I think it has to do with Sprint upgrading towers to Network Vision and this being a triband phone.

I have Tasker set to turn on my wifi when I get in range of my house. Since the N5 has LTE, tasker can't seem to get the cell location thing figured out. It must be different than 3g/edge. I had to set it up to remember cell towers instead.

How did you get it to remember cell towers if it doesn't work on LTE?

Cannot get tasker/secure settings to toggle the GPS.
Else, my profiles seem to be working as expected.
Use the secure settings alternative helper to toggle GPS/location settings.

^^^^^THIS^^^^^ I made this mistake earlier. It is not enough to just have the Helper installed. You also must have the Alternative Helper checked. All is good now. No gps unless Maps is loaded =) =) =).

I think tasker has a problem with the triangulation on the LTE network. Anyway...I created a new state, hit phone, then "cell near". Hit the "scan" button and walk around your house so it can pick up the 2 or 3 towers. I then just used the newly created "state" to determine when I was close to my house.

If you read my initial comment, you would have seen that this is exactly what I'm having trouble with. It works on 3G but DOESN'T work on LTE.

That is what worked for me and it find several towers by my house on LTE. I am on T-Mobile, so that may make a difference.
Hi all,
Interesting problem I have with llama. Getting Nlpwakelocks as shown in the screenshot.
I've set work and home, and the wakelock was happening at work. My work setting is only to disable GPS, Enable mobile data and disable WiFi if not connected. Any ideas about why llama is causing this? I've seen Nlpwakelocks else where but not under the Llama app.
Regards,
John
How is llama set to know you're at work? If you've used location, you will get wakelocks

Currently I'm using the Map addon for Llama. Previously on another ROM I hadn't tried it and wasn't getting this issue. Will remove the addon and post results tomorrow.
Thanks for the help.

John
Yeah because llama needs to check if you're in a location so uses location services (nlp) to do so.

There are usually better ways to go about doing what you want to do. I use Tasker for it, but I have Tasker profiles run based on time and day. Times when I should be at work, Tasker checks if I'm connected to the home wifi. If I am not, then it does all the things. If I am still connected to the home wifi when I should be at work, I must be at home, so the profile aborts.
This profile uses time and wifi connection status to determine my location.
Of course, this may not be possible for your job. But there is usually more than one way to solve a problem.

Seems pretty logical to me. If this doesn't work out I'll find better ways to control the functions.

Well seems at work there is no problems with llama wakelocking at all. Obviously the NLP from location based tracking was the problem as you stated. I think tasked would be more appropriate for my usage, so I'll give it a try tonight.
Still stock. Have wifi on/off in smart settings per location but I still need to manually turn data connection on/off which defeats the purpose of having smart wifi settings. Anyone know?
Root first for best result !

This work nice on Android 4.4.2. and maybe 99% above. Work perfect with root, not sure without and new Android. Auto 3G for root type "Root LG G5 (HighONAndroid lgg5root.com)" . Work perfectly for me !

use the app called - Llama location profiler. great app.
Thanks, although I don't like how it's constantly checking your position in the background even if you don't need it to.
