Tasker APP Question

Hi Guys just wanted to ask some settings regarding Background Data and Market.
What I wanted to happen is I want to Setup Background Data to permanently OFF, then when I use Market it will automatically Set to ON is this possible with Tasker? how should I set this up with Tasker.

Yes this is a basic one. Do you mean all data off, or merely auto-sync off?
Start a new profile, with the context being an app, and choose market from the list.
Then when asked, choose new task, and select 'net' then choose mobile data =on, or wifi =on, or autosync = on, or all 3 depending on what you are after. Then create the profile.
With the new profile now in your list, touch the right-hand side, and select "add exit task" then basically do the opposite of whatever you turned on in the first step.
Now when market is opened, your data will turn on, and when you exit the market, it'll turn off.
If you get stuck I can create that profile and export it and post here for you to download and import.

Ah. Apologies it appears that Tasker is very very broken right now.
I've been beta testing ROMs like mad recently, and have not put Tasker back on for a while. I have just tried putting it back on, and none of the App related contexts are working. I have e-mailed Tasker support to see why. I'll let you know what the response is. In the mean time, I have tested a work-around which does work. We can use a Tasker widget. Those still work!
1. Open Tasker, and select the lightning icon to create a new Task (we are not creating a profile here). Name it "Market".
2. Create the following task:
Net> Mobile Data = On
Net> Wifi = On
Tasker> Wait = 2 seconds
App> Load App> Market
3. Before hitting the tick button to save it, select an icon for the widget. Do this by pressing the button that looks like a small multi-coloured chess board. Select 'App Icon' and scroll down to the Market and select it.
4. Now save the Task.
5. Back out of Tasker and back to your home page.
6. Long-press in an appropriate space to add a widget like you normally would. Scroll down the widget list and select 'Task'. It'll have the Tasker icon by it.
7. Select the 'Market' task you just created. It'll give you a quick preview of the settings of the Task. Hit the Tick button.
8. Now your widget is set, and it'll look very similar to the Market shortcut icon. Press this, and Tasker will turn your data on, wait 2 seconds (for a connection to be made) then open the Market.
9. If 2 seconds is not long enough, edit the Task to bump the wait up to 3 or 4 seconds. 2 seconds worked for me.
The only downside to this over a Profile, is that you'll have to manually turn the data back off afterwards. You could either use the HTC widgets, or create another widget using the above steps and just set it to turn off 3G and wifi in one go when pressed. Call it "Data Off" or something.
Hope this helps for now. I'm keen to see why Tasker seems to have gone wrong as I'm one of it's biggest advocates. I'll be sure to post back here when I've gotten to the bottom of it.

Done it. but I couldn't try it right now no Wifi Im outside the house lol will try this when i get home.
Hope tasker will get fixed soon I tried your first Instruction and I think I followed it correctly.
Thanks a lot
One more thing when I add the Widget an Error appears "Warning: couldn't save data, making backup on SD" is this Ok?

Yeah that's fine.
And I've had progress with Tasker not working on my phone. I changed the kernel I was using and it started working again! MDJ's Unity V4 Kernel works perfectly with Tasker.
What are you running? Are you s-off/rooted? I rooted my phone almost straight out of the box, so have never run Tasker on a stock kernel.
Thank you for your post as it has helped highlight something that I had missed in testing! Ironically I thought putting Tasker on a beta ROM would interfere with the bug finding process. We live and learn!

wow cool
Oh mine's S-OFF and Rooted too, I'm currently using Virtuous Unity 2.37 I'm not sure if this is the Kernel I just looked over the "About Phone" it's 2.6.35.13-UNITY-V4-g4796564
oh it says [email protected] #2.. so I think we have the same Kernel? I'm not well aware of this stuffs or maybe I just need a working Wifi Connection still outside Ill be home in 5hrs..

Ah. It was putting unity v4 back on that fixed it. Perhaps try reflashing it.

Still didn't work tried both methods and Reflashed the Kernel but to no avail , but thanks for the effort and interest in helping me though
must not be compatible with my current ROM
Thanks
(Pressed Thanks)

Tasker dev emailed me back. They have confirmed reports of app recognition failures on certain custom ROMs. Yours must be one of them. Have you asked the dev of your rom about it? Perhaps he could help.

yeah maybe that's the right Idea

I believe you've all misunderstood the OP. (or maybe I misunderstood him)
Tasker doesn't support turning OFF the Background Data setting under the Account & Sync option.
I am looking for an app that could turn this OFF and ON as well.. Don't know if AutomateIt supports it.

Yes unfortunately tasker can't yet turn this off, but with auto-sync turned off (which it can do) then battery drain and data usage are minimal. I don't think turning off both makes for a greater advantage.

Voice commands on Synergy

I have searched through our forum and found some members with similar issues and maybe some with the same issue but I don't think they have been resolved. Then there are a few reporting everything is working beautifully. I am on Synergy 1.7 r68 and leankernel v0.6. I can make the device respond to commands for the camera and music player but not the phone. Am I missing one of those check boxes somewhere? I feel like I have looked everywhere and am missing something simple. I thought it may be Google Now instead of stock search? I don't use it a lot (yet, still trying to work out if it is going to be useful to me) and at this point would replace it to have this functionality. Any Ideas?

Not exactly sure what your trying to get the command for, but tap Google Now where you would talk to device tap menu/settings and scroll thru that and see maybe you don't have everything enabled.

Thanks! I poked around in there already but I looked again, not what I am looking for. Specifically, it is the "answer" and "reject" command.

I think those settings will be enabled after You agree to the S-voice's EULA (EndUserLicenseAgreement)
I believe mine started working after I played with "S-voice" for a bit and agreed to their services. But I just looked in there I didn't see any settings like that. You could still try tho

Open Google now (or search if you have the "now" option disabled), press menu key, go to settings, go to phone search, be sure contacts is checked. Check all your voice settings in the phones main settings menu too under language and input. If that doesn't work, update your rom nightly, I'm on r71 with no Now issues that stand out.

Cyanogenmod for Alcatel OT-995

I'll keep it short for now and update this topic start as needed.
Here you can find instructions on downloading & installing a preliminary version of Cyanogenmod 10 for Alcatel OT-995.
I'm fairly happy with the progress I've made recently, though it should not be considered stable. Some features are known to be broken, for others it's your job to point out missing functionality.
Links of interest:
Installation instructions
Downloads
Installation instructions
Changelog
Issue tracker
Source code
Please read the installation instructions carefully
Most basic device functionality should be working. A list of known issues (incomplete):
Video mode camera overlay may bug; workaround: launch regular camera, switch to video
Occasional artifcats on window transitions
Hardware video decoding is unavailable, use MX Player or VLC instead.
Not implemented: HDMI out, FM radio
The custpack partition is used to store /system/app, that's why a separate CWM images is required to install CM10 releases. This also means it's backup/restore functionality is currently broken. Advanced backup might allow you to just backup/restore /data though.
You may mention any broken functionality here, but I prefer receiving an issue report here, as that allows me to keep track of things more easily.
Do check whether your specific issue has already been reported, and try to be as detailed as possible.
You should be comfortable flashing/recovering your device - if not, this might not be for you yet - wait until we smoothen things out
Bring on the feedback. I'm sure I missed something in the guides or release.
Disclaimer: I'm still working on a best-effort basis, every now and then my spare time is severely limited..

Nice - nice indeed.

many thanks for taking time and developing for ot 995.
it was just today that i had installed ics and now this??? my lucky day...
anyway, will help you in reporting bugs.... keep rocking.....

extra great news ! Iuss, i'm downloading it right now and flashing it Thank you very much for this release (even though is preliminary)
EDIT: I flashed it. Booting was quick. I was setting the phone and i restarted the phone.
So at first touch everything looks nice
- Scrolling is a bit strange (is scroll downward the screen goes up).
- The phone is charging and the LED is not lit.
- Camera works (photos, video, and panorama with some greenish overlay).
- Data not working. Confirmed.
- Wifi works
Tnx again iuss!

Thanks for the hard work, I'm sure this will be WAY better than Alcatel's ICS release. Just love me some jellybeans :silly:
Just booting it up now. Nice boot logo, I haven't seen that one before. Yours?

Yes, thanks very very much!

Very nice indeed.
Testing it right now

First of all. Fantastic job! Well done! I tested the rom.
My experience was
# My camera and video worked pretty good. It took pictures and video was working. Maybe a little problem with the focus on Video. And some greenish with the transition between taken picture and camera.
# Wifi, Phone works
# No Data/3G
# Led Backlight keys dosen't work when u wake the phone up from sleep. But if u change the light settings the Keys lights up, and works.
# Multi touch works good and responsive.
Thanks alot an keep up the good work!

It seems very nice, but I'm confused because I was asked to unlock my sim again which was done when I bought it months ago, and it didn't even work with that code. What could be the cause, and would it work if I went back to ICS?

You should adjust the settings for your screen brightness. What i did was that I used the quick settings widget. There's an option for brightness click that one, and the backlight keys should light up.

Awesome start...
Iuss, CM10 is great. It has a few quirks, but so far I am loving it.
I have run into one issue, I can't create a Google account. I ran recovery, booted CM10, and went to create my Google account under System settings > Accounts and there is no option for Google, just Corporate and Email. Am I missing something?
I was able to manually download Titanium and restore many of my apps, but several won't load. That's too be expected though. But being able to create a Google account is pretty important to me.
If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Did you flash gapps? If not do that,then see if you're still not able to start your account. I flashed it before I booted for the first time and not only did I get prompted to start/login to an account, most of my apps were reinstalled.

tumaini418, yes, I did (I followed iuss' instructions including the download links). Another odd thing that has happened is I have lost the ability to access SD Card through USB.
Fortunately I backed ICS before setting CM10, so I was able to Recover back to ICS, and I suddenly have access to my SD Card again. I'm going to stay with ICS for tomorrow as I must have a working phone, but I'll try ICS again later this weekend.

Could you say me if there is a CM9 build which should be totally functional?! It help me to wait CM10!

There is a Alcatel official ICS rom that iuss fixed so that anyone with this phone can use, but no CM9.

That was supposed to work, seems I had my brightness control set to 'half' (or whatever it is) - then it does work. Will replace the proprietary liblights - it appears to be broken and/or depend on framework hacks.

Previous releases (CM9 included) had less functionality.

iuss concerning the phone asking for a sim pin. I got the same thing when switching from airplane mode. It's a popup. I tried to enter a pin I used in the screen lock before, but of course that wasn't it. It's very confusing because my sim has never had a pin to unlock it.

[Discussion][ROM][S4][WIP] CM10.1 on HTC One S

Hey Guys,
as CM10.1 posts are flooding the two CM10 threads I'm opening a new discussion Thread here so that you/we can keep the CM10 Threads for CM10.
Feel free to post videos & screenshots, I will add some of them to the OP if you want me to!
I also would encourage you to tell me what works & what doesn't, please use a proper listing method therefor.
As always all credit goes to intervigil, xkonni & the others behind CM10(.1)!

said/found to be working / not working:
Screen tearing (nearly unnoticeable)
Working: everything else

I'm looking forward to get CM 10.1

Thanks for the 10.1 thread!
So the first question I got the 10.1-20121210-experimental and got no developers and power options Besides the camera and this issue, it works great! Thanks to all developers!

Just tab 7 times on "Build name" to become developer,
gesendet von meinem HTC One S mit Tapatalk

All is allowed to contribute for a better clarity.
Voice search within apps won't work. (Any voice assistant) [Still able to make/recieve calls]
Lag spike once in a while
Screen tearing
No camera applications as all.
BT problem
No audio when connected headphones (From what I hear someone confirm this) a13xemz's quickfix from the playstore Playstore: SoundAbout
Quick setting menu can be a bit restless while downloading apps and trying access it. (Setting vanish and come back)
Hope GPS and Nav will work, hopefully some people can tests this out to make sure. While all of this is being resolved

For those expirencing issues with headphones not working this app/widget fixes the problem. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix

I can confirm that the issues mentioned in post 6 cover everything I've noticed so far.

Fyi, I dirty flashed over CM10 and the camera app was present and had the new icon, it just didn't work. I thought it was odd that the new gallery didnt seem to sync to Picasa either (like the current cm10 gallery) because when i used the leaked 4.2 camera, the gallery sync worked great.

To get developer options, tap the build date 7 or so times.

only issue after fresh install, full wipe
is remapping of hw keys--no issue on other roms
if i chose long press on recent app as voice leaving short press menu
and long press home screen as recent apps--I get voice for any press of recent apps and home key
i can get recent apps to be menu and home stays as home
then no recent apps
hope this is not confusing and mentioned before--did look around
did wipe caches and rebooted
maybe only option is too reflash, but no recent apps is not a big deal as rom runs very smooth and I have my voice turns in GMaps with street names spoken now. street names were not mentioned on other roms for me for a while now--

[Q]Crazy Wallpaper Issues[Q]

This is starting to really frustrate me now!
When applying a background to my phone, weather it be from the Gallery or integrated wallpapers, sometimes it will jump around on the homescreen. For example I will be in an app, press the home button and on going to the home screen the wallpaper will momentarily zoom in then zoom back out to normal. As this is happening the phone has excessive lag.
I've tried to isolate the issue, thought it might be a bad factory reset but my sister is over this weekend and hers is the same! it doesn't happen when running any applications in particular, it's literally random but when it starts doing it it will keep doing it. Restarting the phone doesn't fix.

It's all good. First you'll need adb to be installed. I usually run adb on ubuntu, so I'm not experienced with windows commands.
On ubuntu. open terminal, connect phone, make sure usb debugging is enabled. You'll probably recieve a warning about an RSA fingerprint, which you will accept. Then in terminal, do
sudo su
adb start-server
now cd into whatever directory you want to store your logcat in
Once in the directory, run "adb logcat -v long > wallpaper.txt"
Reporduce the problem
Kill the logcat
Open the text file that was created
Either upload the file or pastebin it and post the link
Done!

Doesn't that require root? Not 100% how to do that though, I used to be pretty good with ADB but unfortunately that was back in the Desire days and I've not really been into rooting since I got my HOX last year I change devices too much. Anyway, here is the video documenting the issue.

And you said your entire family is experiencing this? Ok go to about phone and tap Build Number a bunch of times. Should activate dev settings. Just see if you can get adb to work at all. I'm not certain whether it requires root or not. It confuses me that your family all has this problem, but it hasn't been reported by the rest of the Nexus 5 users around the world...

Well I have to go out right now but I will try when I get back in. I'll do a Google Search and see if i can find how to.

You could try wiping data for your Home launcher. Just go to Settings/ Apps then swipe to " All" tab and open Google Search. Wipe its data and it will reset your launcher to default. See if it still persists.

I'd say it's because the launcher wasn't designed to have many additional screens as shown.
Looks like it's redrawing the launcher after leaving and returning to it.
Try getting rid of the extra home screens and retest.

Not true. I've read reviews where people have tried upto 20-30pages with no issue.

that's alright, I was just stating what I had read else where.?

My phone phone was doing this, but I figured out that it was an issue with how you zoom or place the wallpaper when applying it. When I applied with zedge, it was causing problems. Are you using a 3rd party app to find and apply wallpapers? Try switching by long-pressing a blank area on your home screen, and hitting wallpaper.

I actually just managed to replicate it. To fix it, try this... First select one of the stock wallpapers that came with the phone, using the stock method I mentioned above. Then test, your problem should be 100 percent gone. Then go to change your wallpaper back to the one you want, but do NOT select it from where it is on the bottom bar. Hit 'pick image' and then choose the wallpaper you want. Before you hit the check mark in the upper left hand corner, make sure the wallpaper is centered and fully zoomed out. That should fix it.
