Looking for an app to filter calls.

Hi:
I am looking for an app to filter calls. I would like to allow only certain numbers, and block or silence the rest. All the apps I have found do the opposite, they block only the numbers you ask them to, and it would be very impractical to have to add all numbers except for the 2 I want to allow.
The latest one I tried was call filter, which was great, and easy to use, but the same as the others, you could only block individual numbers, rather than allow only specific numbers.
Thanks!

You can use Tasker to do that. I had a Tasker profile that ran at night when my phone was on silent. It would ring only if calls came in from my children or my parents. You could use the same type of profile but have it active all the time.
Tasker is more complicated than your typical android app. But there are example profiles that you can download and modify.

Hi Redger:
Thanks so much for your reply. I downloaded and installed tasker. You are right, it is complicated. I installed the sample profiles for Auto Sleep Mode with Exceptions (sounds like what you mentioned).
I made it as far as adding the numbers I do want to ring. I am wondering is there any way to activate it manually (maybe a one click home screen type thing), rather than right now it is set to start automatically at a certain time?
Basically what I would like to do, is have only 2 phone numbers able to reach me (for both voice and sms calls) while I am sleeping, and all other numbers to be completely silenced.. I don't really want it to start and stop at a certain time, because my bedtime varies greatly from one day to the next.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again!

You can put a shortcut on the screen to tasker, and it will open to the tasks. Click on the real to turn off. 2 clicks I know.
I think the tasker forums can tell you how to make the task into a "program" like you want.
Edit. Try long pressing on the screen and go to task. It might be there.

Download the generic toggle widget. You can put the widget on your home screen and program it to toggle your sleep mode profile. Remove the time constraints from the sleep profile and set it up to work with the toggle widget.

Pebble Apps Wanted

Thought I would start a thread for Apps Wanted, hoping some enterprising devs might see the list and pick some to try. Here is what I am thinking:
- Respond with App Name in the subject to this post
- Provide as much detail as possible here to provide a baseline of what you are looking for
- Add info such as any help you may be able to provide, or if you are willing to offer up cash or other incentives
- When/if there is an app to test you can provide a link
I will make sure to provide a list here of all of app requests so that we have an index file for reference:
- Pebble Smart Start: An app that will allow the user to start their vehicle remotely
- Pebble GeoCache: An app that provides simple geo-cache readout on the Pebble (Lat/Lon)

GPS for Geocache
Love the apps that are already there for navigation and sports links, but would love a basic GPS readout app that shows the following data:
Latitude
Longitude
Altitude
Heading
Bearing

How about Google Glass App?

Not really a coder myself, but there was a Dailer app, which allowed users to search and call contacts by using T9 typing (with the 3 buttons on the right). I wonder if this would be possible with sending sms and typing with T9( we know Glance allows pre-set messages = so sending messages is possible)
Just a little something i wish was out there.

..or maybe it would just let you pick a top 5 or top 10 numbers to dial? then should be easier to scroll the list and pick the one you want to call

You could check my app - A countdown timer. Also, if anyone knows coding and wants to help me, PM me as i dont have a pebble
Link to the App- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394856

A great app would be to be able to have your pebble turn off at scheduled times. May be harder to get it to turn on but at least this would save battery.

PebbleTracks
I'd love to have an Android/watchapp application which:
Can start/pause/stop MyTracks recording
Shows current time (in "status bar", top of the screen, small), current speed (big), travelled distance (like bike computer)
if possible, shows google maps map on the watch (just a nice-to-have thought)
if possible, longpress up/down could fire watchapp (PebbleDialer)
I'm a software engineer, who never developed for Android or Pebble, but i can contribute any work i can handle .

I have a few ideas for how you can do this...
1. Canvas app - create a calendar on google calendars with just their birthdays. On Canvas, create a watch face with a field that pulls data from a calendar and configure it to only pull from the birthday calendar.
2. Tasker and pebble notifier - with pebble notifier, you can send tasker notifications to your watch. With tasker, you can program it to notify you on certain days which are your friends' birthdays.
Thoughts?

Oi! Where's your phone?
Having lost phones in the past an app to vibrate the pebble if the BT connection drops for longer than a minute (maybe the duration could be configurable) would be useful.
Would probably need alarm style snooze and dismiss options so you could snooze it if you're out of range momentarily and dismiss it until the next reconnect if your phone battery has died or similar.
Something like this was the first thing I thought of when I saw the pebble so I was surprised to not find one already, I've seen a few phone apps doing the reverse and bleeping the phone when out of range but that doesn't help me realise my phone is missing it just annoys the thief into turning off the phone.
I'm not a coder beyond 10 print hello 20 goto 10 but if anyone else thinks something like this would be useful I'd happily beta test.
Thanks

I'd like a better stopwatch/alarm app.. Also a contact app that works better than the current one with the 3 button interface. I'd like to scroll by groups of letters, like top button is a to k, middle is l to s etc.. And then scroll through those letters.
I know this is a long shot, but having a torque plugin would be cool to show 2 or 3 preset dials like engine temp and maf values cause when I'm working on my Audi I like to monitor certain things but don't want to get my phone all greasy.

Yes, this exactly. I got my pebble a few days ago and I've been looking for something like this. There are already apps to ring the phone from the watch and even a notification on your phone if your watch gets disconnected but I would very much like the watch to vibrate if it gets disconnected instead of the phone

The gear with Null rom can do most those things anyway? Or am I missing something?
Sent from my SM-G900H using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

This could be useful for non-touchwiz phones, I suppose.
I may give it a go just to see what it can actually do.
--wait... "need internet connection on the watch" For serious?

A little confused myself. One part says Bluetooth supported and other part acts like both devices need Internet connection as in Gear tethered which drains much more battery on the gear.
I'm not interested in the actual "Notifications" as Gear Manager does this fine for me, otherwise, the other functions listed, GPS, battery status on other device, ect.. Yes, I would be interested but still confused as to my first comment/paragraph above as to how this works.

The internet connection "requirement" is for those smartwatches that do not have working BT, like every one of the Umeox x201 based smartwatches. The internet connection is also for doing things over long distances (think miles).
It does more than just notifications. I'm running Null and have been placing calls and sending texts using the Gear and leaving my Nexus One in my pocket, or the other room, the whole time.

Hrmmm, Interesting. I'll be having a look at this. Thanks!
---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------
Ok have it installed on my S4. Problem. Can't get it on the Gear. In the Play Store it says not compatible with (gear) device so I can't use chrome extensions downloader either for some reason. And I'm tethered to the gear to access internet thru playstore directly and it's not listing on the gear to download???
Disregard, I got it downloading now with Chrome extensions, will transfer to gear and give it a whirl shortly.
Ok, I set everything up. Selected BT for connection on phone side's app. There is so setting for this on Gear Side's app. Entered devices names, ect... all it does is sit on phone side saying "Connecting". None of the features are doing anything.

this is for using without BT connection (for smartwatches that don't have bluetooth), it's not needed for direct bt connection.

you need to select BT on both the watch and the phone, then it will connect

On the Gear, the settings did not have a place to set a connection type unlike the phone's settings with the app. It started off with email. I even tried to scroll up and down and look all over for the settings for connection on the gear and it certainly wasn't there, at least for me.

i have uploaded the apk in download section as Gear might have difficulties getting it from playstore

Great !

Strange thing going on right now. On gear I pressed Battery Icon to get the info from phone and it says uptop that it's connected to my phone but nothing is happening after "message sent" dialogue. So I opened into the App on phone side and it's sitting up top saying "connecting...." forever.
Update: Went in on phone side and "Force Closed" the app in app settings. Reloaded it and it connected right up. Must be a quirk or something...

*SWApp Link dev update 0.934d*
*BT Virtual Leash*
You watch will help you not to loose or forget your phone !!
New feature will allow to get notified if the bluetooth link is broken.
User selected delay to trigger the alert.

Hi
This looks promising but i have a few issues and questions
First of all the App keeps Force closing on the watch (i'm running NUll_23)
but i have been able to connect it for a short while and can get SMS messages and the watch vibrates but the screen does not light up
What i wondered is that i want to replace the Samsung Notification system completely as i want to see more of the notification
on the screen than just a small excerpt, especially with Gmail and Email
do you think your app be able to do that down the line
thanks

*SWApp Link dev update 0.934e*
*Auto Lock*
In virtual leash feature, you can now enable "Auto Lock" feature which will set a password on your phone if the link is broken.
It's a low level action on the phone, so you'll be asked to enable Admin rights to the app.
You will be able to enable or not the broken virtual leash notification.

tasker

Edited original post as now getting. a collection of tasker tasks i have going on and easier to keep them in the first post but Will help below if anybody wants to copy them, also if anyone else wants to post there's that will be good.
1st) have tasker to toggle settings like wifi brightness etc when i get to work. Reverts settings back when i get home. Produces notifications on watch.
2nd) sends a message to my wife when i say launch task 1 that tells her im on my way home.
3) launches a autowear location menu on the watch. In the menu i can select wether i want high accuracy or low and wether i want location services on or off atall.
4) when i charge my phone between 2230hrs and 0625hrs the watch is switched to screen off, Bluetooth off and phone set to vibrate. When its unplugged or after 0625 the watch is switched to always on and phone is muted.
5) mobile data on and off options via autowear.
6) detects when i have lost connection to the watch and immediately turns on GPS to record the location. Then notifies me on my phone with a map view. I fix generators for a living so i need to take my watch of sometimes or when i have a shower in the gym etc. If for whatever reason i forget it which is unlikely i will know where i last had it.
7) every morning when i take my phone and watch off charge it selects a different watchface every morning at random from a predefined list. (needs watchmaker to be installed)
8) using autowear so that when i start My Tracks on the watch it automatically starts my gps task for me.
9) little on screen widget that i can control my Xbox/sky/tv changing channels, volume, play and pause, go to Fifa 15, record that, turn everything off. Accomplished using autowear, autoremote, autoinput, and a redundant tablet.
I have only just began with tasker so my methods won't be the most efficient but they work. If anyone has better ways as i mainly using auto input then please get in touch.

Could you describe which apps you used to pull this off? Thank you

Yeah sure, was a app called Tasker that i used on my phone to create it all and then a tasker plugin called tasker wear i think.
I have since been tinkering with it.
The updated version now has the following options;
1) text the wife I'm on my way home.
2) turns Wi-Fi of, auto brightness on, sync off
3) opposite of 2.
4) closes and returns back to watch face.
With option 2 and 3 i get a notification of what has beebeen switched on/ off.
With option 1 it also activates option 3 ready for when i get home.
Also if i forget to do the above especially switch evereverything on it detects when I'm nearly home and does it for me.

check AutoWear tasker plugin from joao, you can do anything with it in combination with the other Autoapps.

I'll have a look at that thanks, currently going to create a task that switches between gps and battery saving location as you can't turn location of anymore. So will have it switch to gps when needed and back to battery saving when not.
Also going to see if i can switch to cinema mode when charging and lost connection to the phone together and to revert back to previous or new watch face when undocked and regains connection to phone.

Hi Phil, would love to hear how you get on with that.

Hi rusty,
Just finished putting something together.
I have tasker detect when it's on charge and if between 2230 and 0625, and if so it switches the watch screen to off, and Bluetooth of.
using a profile manger, that detects that the watch it's no longer connected so switches notifications on the phone back on.
The opposite is when it's unplugged it switches Bluetooth back on, turns the watch screen to always on and the profile manager then detects the watch so turns the phone to mute but watch still vibrates.
I can now sleep at night with no lights keeping me awake and the only thing i have to do is plug my phone in.
Just to note it was pretty simple to set up with tasker and autoinput.

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I was on holidays.
I do have some experience. You need to download AutoApps from Google Play and suscribe to the alpha testing. Then you can download AutoWear. For this you also need to joing the Google+ community where the developer is always nice and reactive when posting bugs, questions or guidelines. Posting at the community is the best thing you can do since AutoWear is still in Alpha and it improves every day and it is not too straight forward to understand, especially how it communicates with AutoVoice and how commands and parameters are passed to Tasker.
By the way, I have a similar profile telling my girlfriend when I get to work, when I leave work and when I have parked at home coming from work, which automatically trigger depending on my location and connection to my car's bluetooth or work's WiFi. You don't really need your watch for that

Cheers for replying.
I have already downloaded it and played around but can't get my head around the processes of the app.
I followed the guide for the voice screen but cant get new screens up or start tasks etc.
I'm usually pretty good at working things out but cant with autowear.

what is it you are trying to do? Do you have the latest version of tasker?

Yeah i have the updated tasker but just can't work out how to get from the voice screen too say a "4 menu screen" that has tasks i have set up. Not sure what i want to accomplish with tasker next but i know if i can understand autowear it would help.
Have you done anything with autowear.
I have done the above tasks in the first post with autoinput and taskerwear but that is just a series of notifications that you can select to start tasks.

my main use for autowear is to send whatsapp messages from scratch (whatsapp currently only allows to reply to messages).
To achieve this I open an AutoWear Voice Screen by shaking the watch, and say "write to XXXX and say YYYY". This triggers an AutoVoice profile configured to react to "write to (?<contact>.+) and say (?<message>.+) (using Regex)
Inside the task, I do an WhatsTasker plugin contact search of the variable %contact generated by the regex command. Once found, I text the %message to this contact using whatstasker.
The best thing to do is to read the variable descriptions in the task. For example, you create your profile of AutoVoice Recognized. Inside it, before clicking configuration, you can see all the local variables available and their description. These are usable within the task. Same thing goes for any autowear task, they are usable after calling the task.
For example, in my task, after finding the contact, I have an AutoWear confirmation screen with the picture of my contact, his name, and the message I dictated. And following that I have an if %awmessage (the output of this confirmation screen) is different to cancel, then send the message.
Hope this helps a bit!

Thanks buddy, i will try and emulate this tonight once the kids are in bed. Whatsapp was one of the things i have been thinking of doing, just wish there was a way of bringing up a previous conversation without waiting for a new message.

well maybe you can capture the messages as they come, along with the sender's name, and save them in a temp file. Then create an autowear screen that shows the content of this file when requested... but I guess it would be very difficult to make it work perfectly (especially with groups).

I have managed to create and implement a mobile data on and off switch into my interactive notification popup for system settings using tasker, taskerwear and autoinput.
I now have the ability to switch wifi, mobile data, gps on and off as well as high and low accuracy location services and change profiles from one notifaction popping up.

left watch behind
Currently trying to set up a tasker profile that when i get disconnected from my watch will activate gps, stores the location, notifies you where it is and shows you on the map.
Hopefully will never need it but you never know. I.e you leave it in the gym, at work etc
Is there already something that does something similar as struggling at the moment but will crack on if there isn't.

Any one let me know about how to get nearby cell tower ID in a single variable.
Otherwise, how to convert the context in profile as a task.

I'm sorrlearning tasker but i think if you create a new profile that activates when you connect to that cell tower. Then create a task and set variable %whateveryouwantto to %CellID.
You should only have to do that profile once and the variable will be set and you can use it in your profiles and tasks.
On another note i got my lost watch profile working like a charm.

Great Job

my main use for autowear is to send whatsapp messages from scratch (whatsapp currently only allows to reply to messages).
To achieve this I open an AutoWear Voice Screen by shaking the watch, and say "write to XXXX and say YYYY". This triggers an AutoVoice profile configured to react to "write to (?<contact>.+) and say (?<message>.+) (using Regex)
Inside the task, I do an WhatsTasker plugin contact search of the variable %contact generated by the regex command. Once found, I text the %message to this contact using whatstasker.
The best thing to do is to read the variable descriptions in the task. For example, you create your profile of AutoVoice Recognized. Inside it, before clicking configuration, you can see all the local variables available and their description. These are usable within the task. Same thing goes for any autowear task, they are usable after calling the task.
For example, in my task, after finding the contact, I have an AutoWear confirmation screen with the picture of my contact, his name, and the message I dictated. And following that I have an if %awmessage (the output of this confirmation screen) is different to cancel, then send the message.
Hope this helps a bit!

What Would You Like Tasker To Do?

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to get an idea of how everyone uses tasker or how they want tasker to work for them. Let me know in a comment everything that you have tasker setup to do right now. Also, what tasks do you want but are unsure of how to create a profile for them?

How would I...get my phone to tell me the weather whenever I open my closet? I let the weather determine what I wear and usually I check the weather on my phone right before getting dressed. Would be nice to automate that!

I'm using Tasker for:
-auto-rotate the screen when I launch some apps
-switch off when I'm connected to specific Wi-Fis
-auto-sync my Google account every 2 hours (without night tome)
-auto-sync Google and weather information 30 minutes before my alarm in the morning
I made a tutorial how to do the last one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3277729

After looking into it quite a bit, I cannot find any way that a task could be triggered by opening your closet door. I don't know how to go about making this work that would be more efficient than just using Google Now.

I figured it out, Greenway. All I need is a SmartThings open/close sensor to monitor when I open my closet door. It uses magnets to do this. Then, I can have Tasker "listen" for the notification that my closet door has opened, and then it will tell me the weather. Heck yah!

This also can be done using a Z-wave door sensor + a Vera hub and the AutoVera plug-in for Tasker. AutoVera can monitor all your Z-wave devices in real time to trigger a Tasker task.
In this example, The tasker profile would be:
if the closet door status change from "closed" to "open" (AutoVera) between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m.,
And it would launch the task to say aloud the weather on your phone. Already explained how to get and use weather data in this post
I guess your SmartThings setup is working pretty much the same way

NFC tags

Off the top of my head, I would suggest NFC tags, they are cheep, and you could stick one on your closet door. I believe tasker has an auto NFC function now that will let you create a task based on a NFC scan.
I could be mistaken though.
I do know that you can get the "auto barcode" pluggin which will allow you to automate a task from a barcode scan - just stick a barcode on the door and scan it in the morning!
I'm actually working on creating a personal assistant app that could give you these kind of contextual updates - it pretty easy now with api.ai pluggins.

I didn't see your reply before I posted - yes that would be the ideal solution.

My basic tasks are
- silent when between midnight and 8am, if charger plugged in;
- silent during meetings
- launch Radardroid if connected to car BT
- send an automated Whatsapp saying "I'm driving, can't read messages, call me", if I am connected to my car BT and receive a message (using Whatstasker plugin). Yes I have teenage girls...
I have also automated a series of tasks for when I go out mountain-biking on my own:
scan NFC tag (using Trigger)
start Strava
send a Glympse by SMS to my wife, so she can find me if I do myself some serious damage in the middle of nowhere (using Autoinput to simulate keypresses since there are no intents to actually send the Glympse)
And the reverse when I get back:
scan a different NFC tag using Trigger
stop Strava
stop Glympse (using Autoinput again, as above)
send a Whatsapp to the missus, saying I'm home (using Whatstasker).

Do you take the data from calendar? If yes which one?
Thank you

Yes, from the Profile page, hit the plus sign, then state, and in the filter area start to write calendar. click on calendar entry, and the 5th entry is "calendar".
Hit the search icon, and you can then choose the calendar from the calendars you currently have.

I use it for:
* Rotate screen for certain apps
*Play music when connected to certain Blutooth devices
* Change volume when connected to certain wifi connections.
I'd like to learn how to use it with AutoAlarm to configure my Lifx light.

I've been trying to find a way to automate the voice recording app via nfc... has anyone seen this done?

how did u create this task . . . ."send an automated Whatsapp saying "I'm driving, can't read messages, call me", if I am connected to my car BT and receive a message (using Whatstasker plugin)"???

I would like , How I can use tasker with-in my Android phone using either my K9 mail client of the gmail apps .
First to check mail every certain mins , once a key word is search ( i.e. from my boss's email ) , takser use my Android phone's build-in SMS client to send myself an SMS.
Thank you very much.

Is it possible, that tasker would lower the priority of ongoing notifications on a condition (e.g. location), so that notification will run, but hides from lockscreen and showing only, if phone is unlocked (and rise after location change)?

i want to use tasker for spying...all activities sms,calls,open applications,locations,call recordings etc forwarded to me on my number/cloud etc with no traces there in their mobile. is it possible with no traces?

Auto reset Mobile Data Cycle on fresh purchase of data.
I know that Android automatically updates the data cycle every thirty one days.
However my carrier only allows a 28 day monthly data plan. Moreover if I do run out of data before that, the system does not account for it. This causes problems for my data cap management unless I manually reset it myself.
Now I think I have one half of it down. After each data plan purchase the carrier sends an sms conformation. I've set up a profile that is triggered when it reads the first half of the confirmation message from the carrier. I cannot however, find the necessary action to reset the data cycle.
Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you for putting up this thread.

taking pictures by fingerprint? this would be awesome

Diceware
I want to run a Diceware password generator from within Tasker. This could read from a Google Sheet, or from an internal file, or could have all the words stored in Tasker. I'm not exactly sure how to build it in Tasker. I can make a Google Sheet that will use a pseudo-random number generator to choose the values that will be used to select the words from the Diceware list.
Any ideas?

My dream would be picking up the phone from say desk unlocks the screen.
As far as I know it's a no go. Shame...
