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.
Hi,
I have been using the Mi4i for some time now, and I should agree that I am being bowled over the display time and time again. Not to forget the MIUI, which i am a newbie and it is fascinating over stock android. A few issues that I have faced of late, and would like to ask others if they have faced these, and if yes do we have a workaround ? I have upgraded to 6.5.6.0, still its same.
1. At times, incoming calls do not ring, it vibrates, screen is awake but no sound as ringtone. Restart resolves it, but i wonder for how long.
2. On a few restart occasions I see the second sim does not connect, another restart follows.
3. I am more adept at using Gravity Screen to turn off/on screen, it seems to consume a lot of battery and hence had to abandon it for this phone.
4. Anyone knows of the "Double Tap To Awake" feature (some external apps) to help with, possibly with lower battery consumption, relegating the use of power button.
5. Anyone tested it to speak out numbers/contact names for incoming calls ? I tried DW Contacts/Speak Caller ID apps but no luck.
In the wake of overheating (its still heating with the latest update but less comparatively), no sound on on ringtone, network issues I requested Flipk*rt for a return, they asked me to install an app from the site below:
https://rink.hockeyapp.net/apps/048138767ad146a538155a799701bda9 (SmartChk App - Not from play store and god knows what this does in the name of testing)
I did not indulge and they replied back saying seller had disapproved the return request :victory:
Anyone knows of a decently priced magnetic flip cover/tempered glass/normal flip cover for this phone ?

Glad to know abt u don't have other problems with this phone
Abt double tap to wake up this feature currently present on the developer rom but it has bug due to which phone is always awake which consume lot of battery other then that it's a nice update idk if u noticed but 6.5.6 is a bad update its lags a lot
The cover and tempered glass they are all over flipkart and mostly on ebay

Hi ruffain,
Nice to have your references.....I noted in the forum that double tap to awake is on the dev roms but am looking for a good app with user feedback from this vast XDA community.
The update 6.5.6 stands good for me, though I should divulge that I had a fastboot ROM flash and wiped out everything instead on normal update (possibly averting a pile up).
The cover/tempered glass on FlipK*art do not have good ratings, I checked almost all of them, a few good ones command a very higher price. You sound as if you have other problems with this phone ? Sharing it may help !!!!

Well everyone will agree with the new update being laggy I was on the Dev ROM but the battery drain was pretty bad also some have complained abt problem with charging the phone i also faced them so i am back to 6.5.5 other then that no other issues...
Are you for apps that allow dt2w?
Sent from my Mi 4i using Tapatalk
Yes, some good apps dt2w that do not tax the battery, possibly if you have used some of them, as user experience is imperative and is almost equivalent to trust in today's world of thousand and one apps in the play store.
Not necessarily d2tw, I am looking forward to any app that prevents me to tap/hit the power button for unlocking my phone, gravity screen is hogging battery like anything hence i had to discard it. My previous phone Lava Iris X1, came with a magnetic flip cover and hence I did not have to use the power button apart from shut down and restarts.

I agree
I'm having an intermittent issue (1 in 20 times) whereby the exercise app I use just turns off before I'm done. I've used the same app for years without issue, but notice its on Mate-9 or Android-7 as an issue? Any suggestions please? I've tried other apps and same has happened on this device so I'm thinking not an app issue.
I am having the same issue with some gaming apps

It could happen when you're using old-api application and internal task-killer preferred to unload your app from memory.
Press square button to get recent apps and press icon with lock to hold app always in memory.

Thanks for that idea. I tried it and so far so good. I will continue this method for next few weeks to see if it solves the problem 100%.

No luck I'm afraid. I tried three times successfully using this method then the forth time it was back to the usual rubbish result of app stopping early during the exercise with the lock to hold app in lock position.
I'm open to other ideas please? As it stands the Mate-9 has proved useless to monitor fitness routines. I've written to Huawei support about it (in London UK) and they just say to wait for an o/s update in future!
I suggest you to give up on it. Huawei phones can't work correctly with sports tracking app for YEARS. Probably all their phones have same issues. Just google it and you will find other suckers like us.
Also, Mate 9 is completely inaccurate during the time it tracks (pre-crash). It must be related with different problem - GPS sucks too. Look for GPS thread in this forum to keep you updated.
Last version of Strava app shows in-app alert which says that their app can't work correctly with my device (Mate 9). It still allows me to use it. So, they gave up on us.
My suggestion is to get some old/backup phone and use it for tracking. E.g. I'm using my good old faithful Samsung Galaxy S4.

This phone is looking worse and worse every day I wonder if it will support at least MiFit and Mi Band fitness tracker? Can't crash there, right?!
Anyone found a solution to this yet please? On my Mate-9 - now build B189 the problem seems to be that my exercise app using GPS stops working anytime after about 70 minutes of exercise (I cycle outdoors). If I interact with the app during exercise (such as pause - resume) every hour I can continue recording the exercise for full duration, otherwise after around 70 minutes my apps stop without notice. On other devices same apps work. Seems to be an issue with my Mate-9, anyone else notice this and or fix it?

Since Huawei updated me to Android 8 the problem no longer exists. Its taken a year to get to love this phone. I still cannot get myself to like the Mate-10 so will stay with this as I now for the first time since owning the Mate-9 have no issues at all with it.

Nope, problem is not fixed in Oreo. At least with Strava. It still crashes during longer pauses.

I use a bike computer but was having issues with Strava live tracking, I think I have it resolved but not totally sure.
For some bizarre reason there are two places to exclude apps from power management:
Settings/Apps & notifications/Apps/Settings/Special access/Exempt from battery optimization/*Drop Down* All apps/*Allow/Don't Allow*
&
Settings/Battery/Launch/*Toggle On/Off*

Watch only mode.
I would be very interested to know how accurate the S3 would be in watch only mode.
Presumably, in watch only mode, the device would have no phone or network connection so would not be able to auto-update itself?
I thought the interval setting (e.g. Permanent) for pulse measurement is also included in Tizen 3? At least on Gear Sport and Fit2 Pro it's included.

I don't understand what new functionally the watch only mode brings. The S3 can be put in airplane mode. This turns off cellular, WiFi, and BT, thus making the watch an island unto itself. It's not completely dumb, apps not requiring connectivity still work (ie. stopwatch, HR monitor, calendar, S Pay) and previously inputted data is still available. In this mode, the battery will last for several days. The biggest drain will be the watch face.
BTW, auto updates can be turned off. It's a setting in the Gear Manager app.
we are still waiting tizen 3
IMHO we have to wait longer...
Not expect too "soon".
If we have luck then maybe as Xmas "gift" in late December.
Best Regards
I'm not launching nuclear missles or solving the national debt so most of the upgrades don't impact me. Mine does what I want it to do now and I'm afraid an "improvement" will screw up a good thing. A new OS is a risk just to get rid of the little clock on the top when I'm in Standalone.

In watch only mode, the watch can last for several weeks, not just several days.
unfortunately they forgot to mention a terrible new feature: notifications are instantly dismissed by the sleep gesture.
the watch has a "wake up" gesture which wakes the screen when you turn your wrist to look at it, but enabling it would already force the inverse on you as well.
turning your watch away from your face(or towards you while not in an upright standing position, which is why it's such a failure) will make it go back to sleep.
this was annoying enough before version 3, but now this will also dismiss notification pop-ups.
this means the watch now frequently keeps marking new notifications as read and dismissing them before I even get a chance to read them.
so I receive a notification, I turn my wrist to look at it, and I'm presented with my watchface with no notification or unread-marker.
so now whenever I receive a notification I have to rotate the bezel or swipe into the notification history to see the notification, when I should just be able to see it instantly.
I was under the 2.3.2.4 version. I am to go under the 2.3.2.3 version and the miracle the update 3.0.0.1 came fast in case for information
Not yet rollout to my s3. Just curious If the whatsapp notification issue is fixed or not.

UA Record issue with Tizen 3
It also broke UA Record app. After update UA started, pause button worked (used for my rest between set of exercises performed in gym) but when I tried to use Resume button - application stopped and I had back again my watchface. No exercises recorded. So I decided to reinstall app and what? App is freeezing on it's start screen and after few minutes I have ma watchface back again. Till now it was the only app used by my so often and now it's a sh...t. Does anytime Samsung have to spoil good working things?
Update. Wow. today is working. However another issue - I tried to add new widget in a Quick panel and what? I have message "Installing ... " since two hours and nothing more
watch is lagging after 3.0.0.1 update, any fix coming

soyes 7s mini phone- How to disable "assist touch" ? gets turned on each boot
I got a cheap mini phone for dog walks,
soyes 7s
got it rooted and works fine, but there is an assist touch settings that enables a floating button after each boot. I can disable it in accessibility settings, but it is enabled again after a restart.
I have looked in the files in root, but have not found anything yet that might enable this setting each boot.
Now created a task in macrodroid with autoinput that disables it with a button.
Any slight chance of any help regarding a setting that is activated each boot?
I’d like to know this too. I’d love to see someone create a custom rom for this cool little phone. I love it.
have not found a solution, but with macrodroid and autoinput made it toggle the setting. So after unlock the settings screen is opened then toggled. Not pretty.
Also installed xposed on it.
Very cool little phone. Perfect with a bt earpiece and audify that reads incoming sms-email and caller name. Used Vphone S8 before, but this android thing is better and not much bigger.
Thanks for that. It’s fun with angry birds too lol. I’m really surprised the geeks haven’t jumped all over this. Low cost of entry and super cool and useful toy. You wanna meet girls, take this out on an elevator when they are all messing with their phones lol. I have mine set up to look like an iphone and it’s ace. Even found a silver Apple logo for the back on eBay. It’s a conversation starter. Way more capable than an Apple Watch lol
Hi. I just received mine. I bought to use in the same reason as you did. I saw that the phone is consuming a lot of battery in idle. I tried to root but I couldn't. With tools do you used to root yours? Thanks a lot.

"Boot to Fastboot by pressing volume up and power Button Simultaneously"
When i do this the smartphone boots in Android. I already enabled OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging.
are you using the kingoroot.apk ? just install it and press one click root. Allow unknown sources and I think you need net connection

Awesome! Now it is working. Thanks a lot! I just installed xposed and now i am going to change some things and see if i can improve my battery. I will come back latter!
I installed the xposed installer and just installed the framework it suggested. arm7I.
OK My device is rooted. What is xposed? How does it work? I’m new to android. I’ve downloaded it from the App Store but can’t make it do anything. What tweaks work best and how do I get them installed?
I'd like to be able to tweak the home button functionality to be able to mimic iOS and activate voice search etc.
I have this phone too lovely little phone i have installed holo launcher and dropped the dpi down to 130dpi looks awesome now.The only thing is we need to find out what’s drawing the battery so fast in general use.The phone itself sleeps like a baby pretty good in standby anyone have any ideas.And would be nice if we can get a sub forum going for this device as i think its getting very popular.

I don’t know about that because it does a good job at standby time something seems to be draining it when in use may be some app or background process.I am sure we have plenty of people here with the know how to get it running better. I know this phone has been selling like hot cakes and a growing interest in the phone because it so well built and does not look so cheap and decent performance for that crazy size of it.Also i have been testing hotspot on this phone and the battery life is amazing when using hotspot to my ipad very impressed definitely a very handy feature of this phone.
Mine is also changed to 130dpi, looks much better now. That sim tray is a work of art lol.
yes, this phone is very snappy for the size. Feels faster than the two android watches I have, that are not used. Needed something that can be tucked away connected with bt and a voice notifier.
The xposed module "app settings" is good to tweak certain apps dpi and font size. I think my overall dpi is 120-130.
Also setcpu profiles to save when screen off and 900mhz screen on, only max cpu with incoming calls. Then greenify and amplify.
For me it last 2 days of dog walks, or 4-5 hours on connected to bt with a few short calls.
Do you have any issues with app icons moving around changing locations? I’m using an IPhone X launcher.
no, but i use Nova launcher. Not paid much attention, mainly for accepting incoming calls
