2G to 3G switch

Hi,
Is there any App to switch to a 2G connection when the screen is off and come back to a 3G connection when the screen is on?
I want to save battery and still able to receive my email and whatsup on time...
Any idea?
Thanks!

Switching to 2g on low power, screen off or Wi-Fi.

Knew about that but it works either for CM Roms or resigned ones? I don't use CM & it didn't worked on the ROM, I resigned of Galaxy S3.

U could doit quite easily with tasker, look here for more examples; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736190 or https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/tasker/dPK19xNU01E but it might require root or a modded rom.

GPS /maps really innacurate ? (Upside down directions )

I don't know why but a lot of times the GPS (or is it Google maps ) give me the directions turned around :/ I have to go north and it tells me to go south , does anyone else have this issue ? It happens quite often ,is it because my city (Berlin ) has cloudy skies and the GPS doesn't get good reception ?

I'm from Berlin too and I don't have any problems with GPS or navigation.

are you on a custom rom? sounds like youre using cm, as cm frequently has that issue.

I had this, seemed like the compass was off by 90'. Install "GPS Status" or similar and calibrate seem to fix for me.

Reason why there isn't a Google Maps app anymore?

Hi guys!
From what I read there used to be an Google Maps app created by Beowulf. It's gone from the market now.
I wasn't able to find another Google Maps app yet. Does anyone know what the holdup is to build an app that displays the map with your GPS-Position and the stars for favs in it?
That is an Open Street Map alternative, but it wants permissions I don't want this app to have.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

hmm perhaps someone can upload the .apk file of the gmaps app...

That would be great if it is functional!

The reason it's no longer in the play store is because the dev received complaints from Google and pulled the app.
Source: I contacted the dev (Sascha Loffler) regarding the availability of his Google Maps app and received a prompt reply. The alternative suggested to me was the GPS Maps for Smartwatch app that's currently available, which uses Open Street Maps and offers no Google Maps integration.
I can only assume if/when Google release their own smartwatch, services that are not currently accessible by 3rd parties will be its main focus, like a proper Google Now interface and Maps notifications!

That's a shame, a good turn by turn maps extension would a nice addition to the SW2.

I am taking a chance and trying out the GPS Map Extension off the Play Store. Curious if anyone else has...

Smart Directions provides Google API based turn by turn instructions and works very well. But it has no Map functionality.
It supports instructions for walking, driving etc.

Looks great... though it sounds like they only give distances in metrics? Still may give it a try, since it looks like a great walking directions tool.

Hello, sorry that i had to remove the app from the play store.
after the complain i never heard back from google so i think i am forced to keep it that way.
the turn by turn navigation looks interesting and i was also already thinking to implement something like that.

Why did they complain? Can you share apk?

hi great to have you here
sorry to hear that...
hmm perhaps you could share the sources.
Did they complain because your app did cost 2 euros? Or will they complain also complain if the app is free?
Gesendet von meinem GT-N7100 mit Tapatalk

Hello,
the app was always free so it had nothing to do with that.
Since the complain was that it violated against the Terms of Service i also can't provide it here.
If you miss anything in the new GPS Maps App for Smartwatch 2 you can always send me a message and i will see what i can do.
The code of the first Maps app which used Google Maps was a mess anyway. It was one of my first android apps and included a lot of hacking and workarounds to have it working.

Automate Tasks

Hey Everybody,
Basically I want my phone to connect to the WiFi when in certain locations (eg. Home, friends house), and disable WiFi when out and about. Same goes for when I'm not at home for mobile data. I want it to enable mobile data when I'm out and disable WiFi when I'm out. I've tried a few apps, like tasker, but it was too advanced for me. Also I've tried condi, but it didn't work too well. Any alternatives you guys have? Thanks in advance. <3

Trigger is a good app. You might have to pay for the full version to get location based stuff though but it was worth it for me. There is also Llama location profiles that I havent used in a long time but it worked good when I had it.

Tasker, Baby! It was too hard in the beginning for me too, but I stuck it out, and now, couldn't live without it.

I can second that it's hard in the beginning but after a while it gets better and there's so much you can do with it!

I think there's an app called better wifi which has options like u want

Llama is easy to set up and free for all features. Uses cell tower locations by default so it won't use any battery even for location based tasks.

Anymote app IR blaster

Hi everyone, I'm interested in purchasing this phone. I've tried searching the forums but cannot find any information on this. Has anyone used the Anymote IR app (with macros) successfully? I understand on the Huawei mate 10 it does not work. Thanks in advance.

The honor app is garbage, i can't do most of the stuff i did on my s6 and can't control my onkyo receiver.
And I can't find any other app now..

Not on Honor 10. None work. The only work around since i no longer have my receiver remote was to learn most of the functions I use with the built in app.

I'm using Anymote IR app with my honor View 10 somewhere got from apkmirror. It works like a gem. Can control almost all the devices.
p.s. upon installing and opening app go to settings and make sure to enable "use alternate IR commands".

Works fine here
I control all the TV's at the department store.. All the display TV's I turn off.. Watch the store employees go crazy trying to keep them on while I stealthily ninja then off... It's so funny
