For whatever reason, this tasker profile/task is not working and I have no idea why. I want mobile data turned off when my N5 connects to my home wifi network, then I want wifi turned off and mobile data turned on when I leave the range of my home wifi. I found a Tasker profile that people claim to have working, but it doesn't work on mine. If I manually run the tasker task, it works, but if I leave it alone, it does random crap. Sometimes when I get home, wifi and mobile are both turned on and sometimes they're both turned off. They're never in the right state. Any ideas? The Tasker info came from this:
Using Tasker (I'm sure Locale could do this as well, but haven't used it):
It's easiest to do this while in range of the network you want to use to control the mobile data setting.
Create a new profile that's active when connected to your WiFi network
From the Profiles tab, touch the "+" at the bottom of the screen to create a new profile.
On the "First Context" menu, select "State"
On "Select State Category", choose "Net", then "Wifi Connected"
Click the magnifying glass next to "SSID" and select your network name.
Leave the MAC, IP, and Invert fields blank.
Touch the back button
Create an Entry task that will be executed when you connect to your network
On the "Enter Task" menu, touch "New Task"
Enter "Data off" in the "New Task Name" (can be anything you'd like, or blank)
On the "Task Edit" screen, click "+" to add an Action
On "Select Action Category", select "Net", then "Mobile Data", then set "Set" to "Off"
Touch back to return to the main screen Profiles tab.
Create an Exit task that will be executed when you disconnect from your network
Long press the task name you created ("Data off"), and select "Add Exit Task"
Touch "New Task", enter name "Data on"
Selection Action Category "Net", then "Mobile Data", and set "Set" to "On"
Touch back to return to the main screen Profiles tab.
Congratulations, You should now have a profile named "Wifi Connected, {your SSID}", with an entry task (green arrow) of "Data On" and exit task (red arrow) of "Data Off". (tap the profile name to show or hide these details).
Repeat for any number of networks; you can reuse the tasks you created by selecting their names on the "Enter Task" menu.

Hi,
I used the same "how to" and it works for me. The only thing i did different is that I didn't configure any SSID. Which means as far your device is connected to ANY WiFi Data will be turned OFF and wice wersa.
And for the first time (after you've done your settings) turn the data manualy OFF while WFi is ON. Then try to turn WiFi OFF and the Data should be turned ON automaticaly.

My activesync icon on the today screen (bottom right corner) won't hide when I select the "Hide Status" button. When I click on the connection icon it says, "Connected to 'USB" and gives me two choices, "Disconnect", and "Hide Status". "Disconnect" disconnects activesync, but "Hide Status" does nothing. The icon causes a scroll line on my iPhoneToday today screen. Any suggestions?
go to taskmanager. locate the one that says active sync or something like that under the process tab. and end the process

BASIC TIPS AND TRICKS!!
Access the scientific calculator
To access the scientific calculator, rotate
the phone to landscape mode.
The calculator will change to a scientific
one.
End a phone call by pressing the Power button
Rather than having to locate the hang up
icon on the screen after each call, you can
quickly end a call by pressing the Power
button. It will not turn off the screen
though.
To enable this, go to Settings - Accessibility
- Power button ends call.
Note: Depending on which firmware you
are running, you may need to update your
firmware to see this feature.
Tether your laptop or computer to your phone
You can tether your computer or laptop to
your phone so that the PC uses the
phone's 3G or 4G connection.
To do this, connect the phone to your PC
via USB cable. If a screen appears saying
Choose a connection type, then select USB
tethering and you should be able to start
surfing straight away. If it doesn't then
press the Home key to go into normal
mode. Then go to Menu - Settings -
Wireless and network - Tethering and
portable hotspots. Then tick USB tethering.
Your computer should then install the
relevant drivers. To test, simply open your
browser and start surfing.
Another alternative if the above doesn't
work is to use an App called PdaNet.
Before you install this App, you will need to
go to Menu - Settings - Applications -
Development. Then tick the option which
says USB Debugging. Then download both
the App and the software for your
computer. Once they are both installed run
PdaNet on your laptop and then on your
phone. Follow any other instructions to
complete the process.
Warning: Some carriers will tell you that
tethering is not allowed in their contract.
You should still be able to use the above
techniques, but be aware that your carrier
may not be happy. Also, if you are not on
an unlimited data plan, be sure you do not
use too much data through your laptop or
computer as you may incur extra charges.
Accents and special characters
If you want to type non-English letters (eg
those with an accent), long-press on the
relevant letter. A list of options will appear
for you to select
Add email or phone number from text
To add an email or phone number to your
contacts from a text message, you can
long-press on the email / phone number.
Then select Add to contacts.
Adding pauses when dialling
To add pauses when dialing numbers, or
storing numbers in your contacts, then
insert a comma ( , ) when entering the
number.
This will pause the dialling for about 2
seconds.
Allow swear words in voice recognition
To allow swear words in voice recognition,
go to Settings - Voice input & output -
Voice recognition settings. Then untick
Block offensive words.
By default, the phone will actually
recognise swear words, but will insert x's
instead of the word.
Change your default font(root required, read line on top)
To change your default font, you need to
download a third-party app because
Android does not have a built-in way of
changing fonts
There are two good Apps that allow you to
change fonts:
Font Changer - There is a free version and a
paid version. The paid version allows you to
change the screen density and allows you
to preview the font. You can also change a
few other options.
Custom ringtones, alarms, sms notifications
To use custom ringtones for your phone
ringtone, your alarm or your text message
notification, simply copy an MP3 file to one
of the following folders:
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
If they don't already exist, then create a
new folder.
The file will then show up when you want
to change your ringtones.
For Ringtones go to Settings - Sound -
Phone ringtone
For Text Messages go to - Settings - Sound
- Notification ringtone
For Alarm, set the sound when you add a
new alarm

Hey Guys,
I have a simple solution for very bad AOD in Huawei Mate 20 Pro. This tasker profile is used for only toggle AOD screen when a specified app sends a notification to smartphone and disable AOD when this notifications are cleared.
It is a very simple solution.
Here is the step one for Toggling AOD when notification received:
1- Go Tasker -> Profiles and touch on bottom right + symbol.
2- Select from list ->Application and select all deserved apps can wake AOD screen and press ->Back
3- Touch "New Task" give it a name (optional obviously) and again press touch bottom right + symbol.
4a- Now you need an action category. Follow Settings -> Custom Settings
4b- Select this settings:
Type: Secure
Name: aod_switch
Value: 1
and press back button. Enable from top of the Tasker application
Here is the step one for Disabling AOD when notification cleared:
1- Go Tasker -> Profiles and touch on bottom right + symbol
2- Select from list ->Application and exactly like did on "Toggling numbor 2" BUT THIS TIME YOU NEED SELECT "INVERT" FROM BOTTOM OF APP SELECTING SCREEN.
3- Touch "New Task" give it a name (again optional obviously) and again press touch bottom right + symbol.
4a- Now you need an action category. Follow Settings -> Custom Settings
4b- Select this settings:
Type: Secure
Name: aod_switch
Value: 0
and press back button. Enable from top of the Tasker application
So, I mean reverting Toggling settings for disabling AOD
And thats it. This is the solution that I figured out myself.

I've recently started experimenting with 'Find My Device' - it seems to work well, my only issue is that after the smartphone has been left in 'standby' mode for some hours then it can't be found using Find My Device in windows, I need to briefly press the power button to wake it up. However, if I leave the phone for two or three hours a day and it goes to sleep for a while then no problem, Find My Device still works.
Is there some kind of timeout which prevents the GPS and networking from working after a set period of time ? I've checked the settings but not found anything.
The Smartphone is a Motorola G5S
Disable "find my device" and "gps" apps battery optimization also on wifi setting disable "turn off wifi auto after inactivity" also on apps killer add both app on white list so even if you close all running app they remain on background .. i use that setting to mine bitcoin on my phone
This guide is mainly for those who know what the "clocktransition" or "activeclock" bug is, where your AOD brightness drops significantly after a few seconds of AOD set to always on while you have the under-display FP reader on.
This workaround functions by turning AOD off and then on after the screen turns off, eliminating this bug from happening.
It's not perfect but gets the job done.
We use an app called "Tasker" from the Playstore (as well as "Tasker Settings")
Here's the guide:
Open Tasker Settings first just to make sure it's running
You can do this at any time, but make sure you remove Tasker from apps that can optimize battery usage (the app will constantly remind you about this anyway)
Open Tasker and go to the "Tasks" tab (dismiss any of the annoying reminders you get from Tasker)
* Add a new task (+ sign at the bottom) and give it a name. Any will do. I will name it "Aod off-on"
Then add an Action on the screen it takes you to (+ sign at the bottom)
In the "Select Action Category" pop up, search for "Wait" and select it. This "Wait" command is done so that there is a few seconds before the task can turn AOD off and on so you can fully appreciate the clocktransition animation. You can add any value you want here. I recommend between 3 to 7 seconds but it's up to you.
Save (back button)
Add a new action
In the "Select Action Category" pop up, search for "Custom Setting"
In the drop down menu under "Type", select "System" instead of "Global"
In "Name", type aod_mode
In "Value", type 0
Save (back button)
Add a new action
In the "Select Action Category" pop up, search for "Custom Setting"
In the drop down menu under "Type", select "System" instead of "Global"
In "Name", type aod_mode
In "Value", type 1
Save (back button)
You are done with your task, now go back and create a profile that will trigger it
Switch back to the "Profiles" tab and add a new profile (with +)
Select "Event" -> Search for "Display Off"-> Leave Normal Priority
Go back and it will request that you select a task, select the one you created
You should be done. Now, the task will activate everytime you turn the screen off.
Note: If this doesn't work for you, you'll probably have to edit the task and in both instances where you change the aod value to 1 and 0, you'll have to give it root permissions (there should be a checkbox when editing the task and the action to use root)
Enjoy, let me know if it works for you!
