Problem with Widgetsoid on Android

So I`m new here and if my thread is not on the right place - sorry. And here it is my problem:
I`m using Widgetsoid Switcher Widget and have this very annoying problem that when i turn on something it not works (For example: I turn on my data service, widget indicates that it`s turned on but actually it's not. If I turned it on from the Settings menu the widget indicates it`s turned on and when I stop it from the widget it doesn`t stop). Same with WiFi and GPS... This thing is freaking me out so if somebody can help me it would be great or if you can tell me other app like that one with options for customization. Thanks in advance

Can`t somebody help me?

Hi,
Try to uninstall, install and reboot directly after install (it's important!).
After go to global preferences and check "Disable all apn"
Create your widgets and it will be ok.

Now everythings is fine but Data Service still doesnt't work... Any ideas?

data toggle help
i had the same problem with the data/3g toggle on my htc evo. what you have to do is go to "settings->wireless & networks->then scroll down and make sure there is a check mark in the "mobile network" setting" in order for the widget to control it the setting must first be enabled. it took me and the dev 3 days to find this out.
also if that doesn't work go into the app itself and as soon as it opens it you should see something at the top that says data toggle mode. make sure that setting is set to "APN toggle" and not "APN rename"
hope this helps. remember to rep if it did

Thanks man

No problem

I had a similar problem today, it looks like the data switch in Widgetsoid places a dash in front of your AccessPoint name in order to block data transfer and removes that dash when you click switch again.
After messing with Widget I was not able to connect to net, I installed, uninstalled, etc, and then I noticed that APN list was empty, I had to add the APN again and restart it, I think (as said above) that you need the data to be ON then do a restart in order for Widgetsoid to properly read the status.

If you're rooted, use the new "root method" to toggle data. It doesn't mess with your APN & it works flawlessly for me. It's the first time I've had a data toggle that actually works.

A simple method
FIX = Settings>Location & Security>Select Device Administrators> *Uncheck Widgetsoid
Uninstalled
Thanks to: mr.noobsalot

I know this is an old thread, but where is the global preferences on version 3.4.1 it doesnt appear when I click apply.
Im using a HTC sensation and ICS.
Thanks

Stay FAR away from Widgetsoid. It can slow a Galaxy S5 down to a Crawl. Your Dialer will not function, Your phone will not respond. Its trying to load your phone with Ads or something and keeps your CPU busy, whether its a dual core or quad doesn't matter. Developer does not respond and does not seem to care. After uninstalling this App, the phone feels "new" again.
I believe this app is some type of Spyware/Malware combo. Why does it need access to my Contacts? Something very fishy and the developer never responds. It's a great Widget when it works but certain things about it don't seem right. Uninstalled!

Tasker Question

Can someone please walk me through enabling GPS on Tasker and Secure settings? I;'d like to do the Auto GPS toggling but it keeps telling me that Google locked? GPS since version 2.1? Help!!

Use titanium backup to make Tasker a system app, then it will be able to toggle gps

Sorry. I didn't actually test it when I answered your question...I know that for the Notification Toggles app, making it a system app will allow it to toggle your GPS. It seems that Tasker has a built in popup that doesn't allow GPS to be set based on your version of Android, as in it doesn't even let you attempt to see if it works. The popup does suggest downloading the "Secure Settings" plugin, link below. I have no experience with it but based on the reviews it seems to work.

Edit: Just tested out Secure Settings and yeah, it works. Just download the helper app from within Secure Settings and you're good to go.

Thanks. I kept trying and trying to enable GPS and finally it let me do it. I'm rolling now!

[Q] P6210 Automation via Tasker or Timeriffic

Trying to automate some tasks on my stock Galaxy Tab Plus such as connecting wifi, etc. Tried Tasker but the actions aren't triggered. Then I tried Timeriffic and it also isn't working.
Looks like when I create tasks and I trigger them in a minute or two for testing, they work. However, when I schedule them for a few times a day, they do not get triggered.
Is anyone using Tasker or Timeriffic with Galaxy Tab Plus and not having these issues?

Tasker works fine for me but I use it enough to know there are many potential issues. Could you provide a bit more detail of exactly what you're doing?

I have 4 profiles that run a task at 4 specific times Mon-Fri. The task turns wifi on, waits 1 minute, does a GReader sync, waits some minutes then turns wifi off. This works on my Samsung phone but not on the Tab.
I've set some notifications in the task to see display the wifi state as way of debugging and generally, after the tasks run once, they don't run again.
Thanks for your help.

Hmm weirdly enough I've only had things that don't work on my SII work on the 7.0 Plus... not the other way around.
Tasker is running in the background right? Meaning there's a constant lightning shaped icon in the notification tray. Without this icon the OS might close Tasker itself.

Yes, the tasker icon is there. My phone is SG2 and both Tasker and Timeriffic work on it. Weird! Thanks.

This is something of a shot in the dark but try downloading the Beta version of Tasker from the dev's site. It replaces the one you bought and uses the existing license check to work. Wouldn't think it would matter but the beta has more features anyways

Timeriffic Helpdesk
Thanks for the feedback. To better help us could you do the following...in Timeriffic, click Menu, Report Error. Note this issue again, this will help us better diagnose the trouble. We have had reports of various hardware and versions of Android OS causing issues and we are researching how that impacts our app. We hope when/if Android is updated it might correct some of those errors. We are also have an FAQ for our users to provide some answers too.

GPS and Tasker

Ok, so I may be a little iffy here.
I have tasker and secure settings w/ helper installed and I'm running the latest version of cleanrom lite.
So in secure settings I have the GPS option enabled via helper and in Tasker I'm able to select it as a misc action.
What I want to do is have it enable GPS when I launch the Map, Nav, or Places application and disable when I leave them. I think I have it set up properly, but my problem is it isn't enabling the GPS. The profile will enable but it won't change the setting.
Any feedback here?
Edit: I found the fix. I feel derpy. For anyone looking to do something similar once you have Secure Settings w/ Helper installed and you go to set the setting in Tasker do not attempt to go Misc - > GPS. It won't work. Instead select Plugin -> Secure Settings -> Configuration and choose GPS. That'll get it working for you just peachy.

I'm rooted, I have Superuser, busybox, secure settings and helper all installed. I have "green circles" at each location in helper indicating that I can change all these things but when i hit "Plugin>secure settings>configuration" I only get the top half of the list...not the bottom half.
can someone help?
Edited to add: found the answer; the right side green check boxes needed to be checked.

Thank you thank you. I've been looking for this fix. love tasker not easy to use though

Thank you!

I've tried this I've set it to enabled and toggle and nothing happens when I open my satnav app waze.
Any ideas

Just as a note : be careful with this particular formula in Tasker. I use it as well, but the problem is if you're using, say, a navigation program. You open it up, Tasker sees it open, enables GPS, everything is right with the world. You're chugging along. You stop at a red light, and... get a text or something, and you tap to see it. As soon as you switch away from the navigation app, even if it's running in the background, Tasker will count that as "exiting" the program, and disable GPS (at least in my experience). Your navigation app will still run in the background but not have GPS to tell you where to go until you bring it to the foreground again.

Can you get Tasker/GPS to work on an un-rooted phone?

No.

[Q] Tasker - is it possible to turn on the screen?

Hello everybody,
I have downloaded Tasker a few weeks ago and set up some profiles. I am still a total noob and try to improve my profiles and tasks as much as possible.
In my profile "headset connect" i want to start spotify and turn on the screen. Launching spotify is very easy however i haven't found a soloution to turn on the screen aswell. Under the display option "turn on" is red. My device is rooted and I also installed Secure Settings.
Is there any chance this might work?
Many thanks in advance for your help!

Download Secure Settings plugin from play store. My OPO refuses to detect any headset though, idk if problem is with Tasker or CM11S or maybe just the hardware. Works fine on the N5 though.
