Hi,
I'm wondering to know if you know application to avoid black screen during calls for the HTC Hero.
RucaNebas
Yes. On the app store there is a free app called Shake Awake. It detects the movement of pulling the phone away from your ear and activates the screen. The sensitivy can be adjusted.
Thank you very much for your quick replay Paul.
I installed and it seems to work.
Thank you again.
Do you know where I can find cool applications for our Hero?
RucaNebas
Wow, this works very nice.
Thank you

You're very welcome.
I have so far only installed apps from the Android Market.
Excellent find.
Not working on HTC Hero :-((
Do you know why?
Yeah, didn't work on the Hero. I hope they fix that with the update and also that annoying vibrate when the phone connects. While interesting concept it is really not needed. I figure I know when it connects when the other person says hello.
You can use Keepscreen, there is a lite version ;-)
Hi,
you may use the free app calle KeepScreen Lite, too.
This app lets you choose for which apps you want the screen always stay on.
The Hero uses a specific phone app, whose name is different from google standard phone app ... But KeepScreen lets you manually choose the apps you want.
There are two versions of keepscreen : the free one (called lite), which is 'limited' to standard google apps, and two of user's chose. The pay version is unlimited.
edit : bricabrac : you won this one
Thank you guys.
I'm sorry to back again, but I need to understand your explanations.
Do you mean that the KeepScreen Lite application could be installed on the Hero and activates the screen during calls?
Which is the Hero app name that keeps the screen always stay on during calls?
I had already created a thread with regard to the screen switching off during a call here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547736
Shakeawake doesn't seem to work for all and for those it does it can be unreliable.
PowerManager can be set (in a profile) to keep the screen alive when making a call for up to a minute (specify by number of secs... I think) which gives you plenty of time to get past those 'pick 1 to do ... pick 2.... etc' type calls.
Hope this helps
how do i install this " shake awake" program on my foon! new 2 andriod

KeepScreen
if i'm not mistaken the actual phone app should be named "Dialer"
KeepScreen is now completely free, and has in the free version all functionality
ahm, can anyone tell me how do i turn the screen off again after i awoke it? my ear keeps checking notifications :/
fyi...on my hacked sapphire, keepscreen was a little buggy. it would sometimes still allow dialer app to go dark while on call even with the keepscreen app running as confirmed in both notification bar and running apps. also, when rebooting phone, keepscreen requires restart but that is probably normal. for me, i decided i rather not deal with the problem of occasional face/key-press on long calls and just let the device go dark. i've become familiar with the quick-key presses to handle call-swap, speaker-on, and such...
I have shake awake since a while and it works fine.
Keepscreen is nice to keep applications "awake"
Hey all. I have been searching for an app/widget that will create ringer profiles. For example, a low volume level with vibrate off at night, loud volume with vibrate on when outside, vibrate only in meetings, etc. All selectable/switchable via one (or two) button presses. Any suggestions? Thanks.
-------------------------------------
My Hero, and the XDA app, made this post possible.
I use Quick Profiles, from the Market. It let you create different profiles and place shortcut icons for each of them.
A much more complete solution is Toggle Settings, but it is also much resources hungry.

Trying ProfileManager for now. I remember on my Touch there was an app that, when selected from the home screen, would pop-up a list of fully customised profiles. Simple. The widgets in the market (most in the form of switches) all seem to lack the ability to select ring AND vibrate ... it's either one or the other.

Why not try Locale?
also try audiomanager. I know you can do it in the pro version, not sure about the free one though.
But i always hear good things about locale too.

Locale Beta was awesome, worked really well and hardly affected the phone in terms of performance or battery life.
Locale is now resource-hungry and not as full featured. The network location is really iffy (it wasn't in Beta), it costs ten quid, and it just seems slow and buggy. I'm quite annoyed I spent money on it, based on my impressions of Beta.
Does any of these apps allow to set auto-answer on and enable the loudspeaker? It would be great to create an in-car profile!
This is the most useful application I tested so far. Try it. It's called Tasker and it is an advanced scheduler by which you can schedule virtually anything.
I used it to schedule phone,gps,wifi, etc. to switch off at night and switch on again in the morning. Also, you can use GPS locations to manage things like volume, services on/off, etc. The best thing with this app is that it is event driven so you can configure actions based on several conditions. However, it is hard to understand how to configure but once you get the idea, it's straight forward.
Try it and share your opinions. 7 days trial

If you're going to use tasker to do things based on location, I recommend using cell towers rather than gps, it should save you a bit of battery power.

Anyone knows of similar app like Tasker but it's free? Am looking for one that can change profile based on calendar event (e.g. meeting/appointment)

Hello,
Is there anyway to get Autoremote to work directly with the Note 3 over bluetooth and not require internet? I'm sure I"m missing something? thanks.
You need internet first to register device in autoremote
After that, you only need standard Bluetooth connection to send commands
@Brendo my bluetooth autoremote seems to work fine.
However if I try to send a notification (not a quick message) via bluetooth it doesn't seem to get received on the gear
Please try and let me know if you can send and receive a NOTIFICATION thanks

Stock notifications aren't available on the gear. You can get the pull down bar in null rom, but even then I don't think it works with all apps. I've not tested though. If you mean the notifications like standard way that gear manager sends notifications, we really need an sdk to work out how to utilize that (there are workarounds where some apps used existing channels)

No, perhaps you misunderstood,
if you go into the autoremote app and select "devices" then there is a small envelope on the right as well as a triangle - these are used to send quick messages and notifications ( by autoremote app )
I can send the message, but not the notification by bluetooth..... however notificatio does work fine by wifi and it gets received by the gear no problem

I understand now. I had a look sending notification via plugin in tasker - which is the same, but didn't realise how notification was sent. Sounds like message uses direct Bluetooth where as notification routes through wifi. Sounds like you'll need to check with dev (may be a bug or unfinished since Bluetooth is recent addition to app?)
I ve got the same problème when i has was in theter i Can send command but without theter the command don t work.

Thank you. I thought I was the only one not able to get this working. I've trying for a week now and everything I found made me feel like I was doing something wrong.
The one thing I've noticed is that when you click and hold the device, and the menu comes up, when I select "connect Bluetooth device, it will say it is connected. But, right after that, it says "not a valid QR code". So I've been wondering if that has anything to do with it.
Anybody else seen this?

Ok, regarding the tasker task, does this need to be included in every task? What I mean is, I've already got some autoremote tasks that work when tethered. I want to be able to use them via BT when I'm not on Wifi (that's the only way my tether works).

I've done this and it still doesn't work. Still getting "retrying 1/5" etc. I'm starting to think I must have some other BT connection issue because I've been trying to get the BT GPS sharing working again. It worked a few null roms back but seems to be broken now. I've searched all over the phone and the gear but can't find anything that would be blocking certain BT functions. Everything else works between the phone and the gear (notifications, weather, mini gallery, pedometer backup).

I assume you have done the below, but repeating it for others too....
In Autoremote, on the devices tab, click on the bluetooth icon of each paired autoremote device to switch ON, and turn wifi off ( assume you have already long pressed and "add as Bluetooth device )
If ON, the icon is blue, if off grey

Yep, tried it multiple ways. Like I said, I think I've got some other connection issue. I even tried the Smart Remote app from the gear store and haven't ever been able to get it to connect either. At first I thought it was due to the null rom but others have said it works for them.
I just have no idea what would allow "selective" connections.
Edit: I just noticed that on the phone, in tasker, it shows as an active profile but in the gear it does not. I even set up a generic profile just to pop up a notification. If I test the action it works but the profile still shows as inactive and in the notification panel it still shows "no active profiles" yet all other functions continue to work. Can someone confirm if this is the same on their gear?

I had the same, initially, it took some time on the Gera with Tasker.
Try switch profile off, then on, save reboot, reconnect and have patience.
Instead of connecting to a "named" connection, leave that bank and choose the optional "bluetooth address" in taker profile state

I use autoremote on the gear over bluetooth and it work well with my note 3.
I have tasker which enable bluetooth in gear and note 3 when they connect them in bluetooth.
It work great until the watch goes in deep sleep. At this time the connection is broken until I reboot. I try to enable persistent notification on the gear when tasker enable autoremote bluetooth (to prevent the service to be killed) but at this time I have another problem, the gear and the phone are not able to go in deep sleep so I have a big battery drain.
If someone have ideas to help I'll be very glad.

I rebooted both phone and gear and the first try was successful. Next attempt back to trying. One thing I noticed was that upon restart both taskers showed the Bluetooth profile as active. After the first test the tasker on my phone now shows inactive. Prior to restart it was the gear that showed inactive.
Either way, this is progress. Now to find out why they aren't staying active.

After series of reboots in various orders, this is finally working. Now that it is, I can even say it's much faster than while tethered.
Now I can't wait to get my home automation setup and working. To control it all from the watch is going to be awesome.
Thanks everybody for your support and ideas.

REQUIREMENTS?
TASKER
PHONE WITH PROXIMITY SENSOR
NO ROOT REQUIRED
COMMON SENSE
WHAT Does this do?
This will basically change your music tracks (previous and next) by waving your hand
HOW does it do it?
You hand activates the Proximity sensor (be sure to locate yours before trying this lol) Then it goes into the details by detecting if your hand is still hanging in there, if your hand is not there, it will change to the next track, if your hand is still holding up, it will Rewind the song, do it again and it will change to the previous song.
WHEN do you want to use this?
On Car, You are driving, want to change tracks while driving? well just wave your hand instead of even looking at your phone. (ok you look a bit but you get the idea) No more accidents, looks cool when you do it in front of your newbie friends, yeah go ahead and tell them to do it with their iPhones XD Just remember to paste your phone into a place you can reach or use one of those universal phone holders.
On some desktop for whatever reason you dont have a computer or cant play songs on your pc? Activate this with Bluetooth see magic with a wave of your hands
You want to see the magic and how futuristic it is when you wave and the machine speaks back to you
OK, Lets get Started
Create a Profile, (name it to Prox=1) Select State, Select Proximity Sensor
Task>Variable Set>Name: %Prox to covered
Create Another Profile, (name it to Prox=0)Select State, Select Proximity Sensor But This Time Check on Invert
Task>Variable>Set>Name: %Prox to uncovered
Create Another Profile(name it to Prev and Next), Select State, Select Proximity Sensor
wait (515MS) <---This is an Important Factor on this project, this determines how long your hand should stay in the proximity sensor, the shorter the wait, the faster it will trigger, change as required.
if %Prox ~ uncovered & %SCREEN ~ off
Say: "Next" (Customize the way you like it or just leave it as if)
Media Control Next on App Poweamp (The App "Poweramp" can be changed to the Music App you are using)
Else If %Prox ~ covered & %SCREEN ~ off
Say "Back" (Again, You can customize the voice etc. or.. just dont)
Media Control Previous App Poweramp ( Again, you choose the Music App or else it wont work)
End If
Now you will need to create a Task, Name it to Track Changer Yes.
The Task should contain
Profile Status>name Prox=1 Set On
Profile Status>name Prox=0 Set On
Profile Status>name Prev and Next Set On
Set Tasker Pref>Proximity Sensor Value Yes
What the Above does is to just Activate your Profiles, so that it just works.
If you want to Deactivate those Profiles do another Task, Name the Task to Track Changer No.
The Task should contain
Profile Status>name Prox=1 Set Off
Profile Status>name Prox=0 Set Off
Profile Status>name Prev and Next Set Off
Set Tasker Pref>Proximity Sensor Value when Power Connected
This will deactivate the task and you are back to 0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I knew how to make Pictures Appear in the Post (I don't) This would have been easier for you but since life is tough and you need to experience this there you go.
If you need more details look at this Album http://imgur.com/a/eXcch
BTW: To Make this work you need to activate all 3 Profiles, Prox=0, Prox=1 and Prev Next. The Task "Track Changer Yes" will Activate it for you, useful if you activate this task via Bluetooth, Heaphones, etc. You can make a Scene pop when you connect headphones, etc your ideas are your limitation.
If you struggle in some place, look at the tasks and see if any of them has a triangle error in there. Make sure you change the music app on all 2 action tasks! (previous, next)

Well, If it uses Bluetooth, just use tasker to create a profile state on Bluetooth, select the current Bluetooth device. Then for the task of the profile link it to the the task (Track Changer Yes) that activates the 3 profiles, Prox 1, prox 0 and prev and next. As simple as that I recommend you set the exit profile to Track Changer No, So your music does not changes in your pocket or outside of Bluetooth.
**Remember that I set it to only work on screen off so it is not activated accidentally**

Before trying this you need to know the basics of using Tasker, the switcher needs to be "ON" on all 3 profiles.
If by Active you mean the green color, it changes from Prox 0 to Prox 1 depending on your proximity sensor. That is supposed to happen.
To try this, just switch all 3 profiles to ON and turn off your screen have music playing, and move your hand to the proximity sensor.

It should work on all roms, please check the requirements.
check if Prox 1 and 0 turns to green and grey, if it does, it should work, if it doesnt, you have something wrong on your side.
I am having a bit of trouble with this one to. I believe I have it set up right, but I am unable to change music with it. When I have tasker open and put my hand over the proximity sensor "Prox=1" and "Prev and Next" light up green, and when I remove it "Prox=0" lights up green, so that seems right but I still cant change music with it. Any ideas? Thanks
Edit: alright it is working for music now, I actually didn't need to change anything, it just started working lol. I just need some help understanding the tasks to turn it on and off. I don't have anything specific that I'm always doing (like Bluetooth etc) when listening to music to tie it to, I just want it so when I use my music player it turns on and when I'm not using it it turns off. Thoughts?
Works like a charm. Thanks!

However, I upgraded to a new phone and didn't have the profiles/tasks saved so I started over from square-one. I can't for the life of me get it working. I've re-traced my steps, followed along with the photo's you posted but can't get it working.
