Hello guys,
Is there anyway we could set Tasker to automatically:
a) switch the screen on, and then
b) unlock the phone to the last notification
IF the phone's lifted within, for eg, 5 seconds after the notification sound goes off?
So for example, if i get a message on gtalk, and lift my phone up immediately, I want tasker to make my phone go straight into the chat window...
possible?
[PS: i don't use an unlock code. just plain ol' 'drag to unlock']

A problem I have is that when reciving a SMS the Kaiser wakes up (turning of the button lock). After this anything can happan in the pocket...
Any ways to let the Kaiser sleep right through a incoming SMS or MMS?
Here is what I use to ensure that my Kaiser is locked "On Device Wakeup"
I found it on XDA-Devs a while back. All credit goes to the author "Matt Armstrong".
Basically it adds a CPL Applet to the System Tab called Device Lock.
Check the option to "Lock on Wake"
I just set mine to lock after 5 mins anyway. Then even though a text wakes it, it simply goes to the pin screen so it cant ring anyone or the like.
Thats a device lock(?)
I just want my Kaiser to not wake up on incoming sms/mms.

The Device Lock doesn't stop your phone from waking, it simply locks the keys and dims the screen on wake. So in your pocket (or elsewhere) it will still notify you unless you are set to silent.
If you want to stop the wake up process have you turned off all notifications for SMS/MMS? I believe it is the notification that actually triggers the Wake-up not the actual receipt of the message.
thanks..this problem annoys me as well
Hi
The phone has to wake up (i.e. come out of standby) to accept the text message, so it may as well light up the screen and let you know about it.

So it isnt possible, in any way, to make the kaiser just notify incoming sms and keep on sleeping.
Thats pretty sad because the on/off switch is the best device lock on the market in my opinion.
I get the idea with the device lock on wake cab but it would be perfect to just lock/unlock with one simple keystroke.
*swenglish...*
I find it strange that the device doesnt wake up when an email comes in (on a outlook account), but it does wake up when an SMS comes in?
^ drives me nuts! lol
so in other words the only way to avoid this is the fact on turning off the text message notification all together?
I have an AT&T tilt with stock ROM and everything. I am using ifonz0.9.9. I was just wondering if there is any way to make my phone check for new emails and sms more frequently. My phone is linked to my gmail account. I was sending myself some test emails and i was getting them very quickly. But each time i would have to open my messages folder and then click on menu>send/receive, in order to update my inbox. Then i exited out to the home screen, sent another email and decided to just leave y phone alone. Well then about an hour or 2 later i finally get a notification sound and when i wake my phone up, there was a little red bubble with the #1 in it letting me know that i have a new message. So this leads me to believe that my phone must only check for new messages on its own like once every hour or something like that. Is there anyway to make it check more often. And on another note, if someone sends a SMS i do get a notification sound and a little window pops up saying "received new SMS" or something like that and then goes away after 5 seconds. Now this is fine, but once that message goes away it doesnt put a little red bubble notification on the icon. So if I wasnt near my phone and then came back later and just glanced at my screen I would have no way to tell if I had a new SMS or not. If someone could shed some light on this subject I would really appreciate. This was my last resort because i couldnt find anything On the main board or in the stickies or anything. So thank you in advance if you can help me out.
When i set my email up, one of the very last options was how often to check, i manually set mine to 1 hour, i think it was on check every 2, just checked on mine.
Email inbox > Menu > Tools > Options > clicked my email (yours would be gmail) >Edit Account Setup > Press Next 5 times until you see Automatic Send/Receive:, then set it to whatever you want, 5, 10, 15 minutes > Next > Finish
Hope that helps.
Email notification
This is only mildly related, but I want my new email notification to show the sender and/or subject line and not just "You have ## new email messages..."
I can't find any notification settings that would adjust this. Any suggestions?
The Enter Key is your friend, my friend. Makes it easier for us to read and give you the proper answer.
Menu, Tools, Options, select your account, send/receive schedule, and change your time...if you want faster than every 5 minutes youll need to go with push email.
Just know that each time you check your email a little bit of battery gets eaten up as well. So there is a bit of a trade off.
Keep in mind that if its asleep, and you are using wifi only, you will get no checking until you wake it up.
I wish I could find a fix for that..

I don't know for sure since I use my 3g for everything, but wouldn't disabling that feature in kaisertweak allow it to check while the screen is off?
You can set the tweak to leave WiFi on when the device is on standby. But you'll have your battery empty in 4-5 hours doing that.
Regarding auto check e-mail, for me this was waking up the device each time it wanted to check. So the screen will turn on, which means that for it to turn off automatically it will wait for the timeout to occur. So let's say you set it to check email every 5 mins, and set a power off timeout of 3 mins, the device will turn on to check mail, turn off after 3 minutes then 2 minutes later turn on again. etc.
Personally I found that with the device in my pocket as the screen would always get touched the device would actually never turn off (besides clicking random things) when auto email check was active. So, goodbye battery again. I ended turning off email autocheck.
That last point might get solved by using S2U2 and telling it to turn screen off after like 10 secs as it ignores screen presses at locations other than the slider, but I don't like that personally.
Yeah this is what I figured...I have used the S2U2 method as well. In regard to the battery drain, more than likely one would leave wifi on while stationary because having it on in your pocket while say driving around would lose the wifi anyway. So one "could" plug it into the wall and leave it alone.

I have a "fair use" internet abbo on my tytn. But i also have my wifi on 24/7 because it is faster when i'm at home or at school.
For receiving my e-mail i use http://live.mail2web.com/. There you can make a FREE PUSH MAIL account. You can send your gmail and other e-mail accounts (if you have them) to your mail2web account. And then it is automaticly pushed to your tytn.
You will receive an e-mail send to gmail within a couple of minutes and mostly within a minute.
Just bought the New Moto X and there are 2 things that is bothering me.
1) Should the screen notification act like a persistent one ? For example: i receive a email notification and it keeps turning the screen on from 30 to 30 seconds showing the notification, until i finaly dismiss it.
Is this really normal ?
2) Does the 'navigate to' command works for you ? It never works here.
1, yes. It only uses a portion of the screen, so its minimal battery use
2, not sure. Don't use voice commands
Guys I have a serious problem w my P10 Lite. I'm using the fingerprint scanner for locking/unlocking my device and it has been great or those few days that I have the phone, but there is a problem. It happend to me twice now: I'm taking out my phone from my pocket and I'm unable to unlock the phone due to "to many attemps of unlocking the phone" and I have wait 10 minutes (seriously?!) to try again...I dont get it, how is it possible ? My thigh skin "attepms" to unlock my phone thorough my trousers?
How can I at least disable this "to many attemps" feature?
I face this problem before and this is my highly suspected findings, correct me if I am wrong.
You must have turned on the "notifications turn on screen" under settings -> notification & status bar. Therefore, when there is a new notification came in, your screen is on while the phone is in your pocket. The finger print scanner is activated. While you were walking, the phone (finger print scanner) was rubbing the clothes and it thought you are attempting to scan a "finger print" but of course not, that's why it was an "attempt" and failed. After don't know failed for how many times, it will only allow you to unlock again after 10 mins.
What I do now is, i turn off the "notifications turn on screen" feature. If you still want this feature turned on, when you put the phone in your pocket, maybe let the screen face out, not facing your leg. Maybe another way is to use a flip cover? As long as don't let the finger print scanner touches any where while the screen is turned on by new notifications.
ok, this is wierd, I do not see this setting anywhere. but when I type it in the search bar it shows up under "notification & status bar"
Hi everybody, I've been having a hideous issue with my Note 8 ever since it updated to Android Oreo. So, before when I turned my phone on, either by pressing the home button on the screen or by using the button on the side, I could see the notifications and I could view the whole preview by sliding them down, touch them and open them, erase them or leave them where they where. Now as soon as I use either one of this buttons, the phone automatically selects one of those notifications and pops up the screen with the sign password and iris recognize without giving me the chance of seeing the notifications. If I go back without using the password, the notification it wanted to open gets deleted. It basically takes away the possibility to check the notifications. The problem gets worse when I'm at home because I have the smartlock enabled, so (when and if it works) it opens up any notifications by itself. Sometimes, it's actually rare but it happened a few times already, it does everything on its own. It's on my bed far from me, I'm not even looking at it, a notification arrives, it turns on by itself and asks for my password to open the notification. What do you think? I hope someone has an answer and I hope i didn't create a new thread on an issue already discussed about, but I couldn't find anything similar
