Hi.
Is there a WP app who can automate some annoying actions like in tasker on Android?
Do we have some API to do an app like this?
Thanks
Unfortunately, no.
Geosetr from store, it start or stop wifi and/or bluetooth when you get home. Or at work. Is based on location.

first question is that some applications dont show in task manager, instead it shows as ongoing in the notifcation menu. like msn messeger or lookout.
however I would like to close those apps at some point.
the other question is regarding on gps, if I install navigation software that needs gps, I had to turn it on manually from notification menu. which is stupid.
is there a way around that, to allow gps as soon as its request.
Kindest Regards
GPS, just keep it on all the time
Task Manager you can end task any app using it, there are more powerful versions for free that you can download from Android Market, and they are much more configurable to do what you want them to do
thank you Fido
so gps in notification is just enabling the service to be used rather than turning it on. this makes more sense now.
will have a hunt for task manager.
what is the best way to find apps, search forums\ market place?

If you get an app called Tasker it will allow you to automate the process of turning on and off GPS as you run the app.
Just thought it was a good idea to open a thread with "issues" to be solved or things we want to get working on the Gear. I myself have a thing of two that I want to solve. For this I searched through some threads, saw some people mention the problems but never found a solution (although apparently other people were working on it to).
Because I like to be part of the solution but don't want to reinvent the wheel I thought it is maybe a good idea to sum some things up that need a solution in one thread.
Basic thing that I'm looking for and not sure if it is solved is
enable/disable BT tethering with just one tap (so to speak). Ideally automagically when opening an app that needs an internet connection
(If the problem isn't solved I was thinking to write an app for this)
(Reserved : list with open issues )
Id love someone to be able to rewrite the newest gear manager to work with people not on 4.3.
Or someone to get the things not working on 4.2 like weAther etc.
A native sms app that syncs with the phone properly. or get tablet talk to display names.

Very easy with Tasker & Bluetooth Auto Connect.
Iv set up so if my device is locked & the screen is off for 30 seconds, it will disable bluetooth tethering for battery reasons. Iv also setup so if I slide two fingers up on my Novalauncher homescreen it will enable bluetooth tethering. Alternatively you can also enable a launcher shortcut which will execute the task.
You can also setup so bluetooth tethering will automatically be activated when launching certain applications.
If you need further instructions, dont hesitate. Tasker can be a little intimidating at first if this is your first time using it.
I'd quite like to be able to swipe away notifications, both individually and per app. Currently it's a bit of a hassle..!

I've never used tasker before. Maybe worthwhile to dive into it.
Also played with Bluetooth Auto Connect. I used it to maintain a connection. (But concluded very quickly that that will drain the battery of the Gear like hell LoL). Where do you use Bluetooth Auto Connect for in this scenario? I mean,if I understand you correctly everything can be done with Tasker.

Bluetooth auto connect works as a plugin for tasker also, so you can incorporate bluetooth auto connect functions in your tasks.
You must get tasker, its a device changer.. both phone & gear.

fOmey do i only need tasker on the phone in order to do that? The way i am manually doing it is i first enable tether on the phone ands then dive into the full settings on the Gear.
If the phone stops tethering then the Gear option automatically gets unticked, but it does not work the other way around.
I have tasked installed on both phone and gear. Could you please provide some instructions?
Also, have you checked Atooma? I have it both on the S4 and the Gear and i can do stuff on the phone with three triggers from the watch:
1) Horizontal movement
2) Vertical movement
3) Photo taken
Does tasker integrate with the watch the way Atooma does?
Thanx again for everything you have done.
YOU ARE THE MAN!
I'd like to be able to scroll down and see a playlist and pick a song

Functionality improvement - (we just need a piece of software for that) - to display on the GEAR atmospheric pressure, humidity, temperature - all of those sensors are in NOTE3
Basically,
I've got a Sony head unit and it comes with a App Remote which is poorly made and stays running with notification even when bluetooth is disconnected form my Sony head unit.
I want to be able to kill the app when it disconnects from the headunit bluetooth.
Hope I explained it well,
Many thanks.

use an app killing app/ram freeing app, or greenify.
Is there a specific question?
I do a similar thing with a bluetooth receiver. I use the app TaskKill. It was pulled from the Play Store, but works amazing. It needs root to function. I have a profile setup to look for the bluetooth connection, and start a couple of apps. As an exit task, I have a "Off" task setup thats called upon disconnect. This "off" task uses the TaskKill plugin to kill those same apps. You can find the apk by doing a google search for "taskkill tasker plugin apk", that reddit thread by the developer has it listed.

I tested the Built-in Tasker "Kill app" function on Chrome and it seemed to work without root or the need for plugins.
One thing I noticed when I used Bluetooth related tasks in Tasker however, is that a disconnection of even 100th of a second could cause the exit task to play out, so I think it is good to put a wait and IF to check again.
Hello everyone,
I'm very new and I was hoping I can get some assistance from you.
I want to have my screen timeout changed when Im running Tasker in foreground. Is there any way to do this?
Thank you,
From the Tasker FAQ;
Why isn't Tasker shown in the Application Context list ?
Because it's easy to get into trouble firing tasks in Tasker. For example, if a profile is setup with a Tasker Application Context and a task with Load App Calculator, it will not be possible to enter Tasker anymore.

When the accessibility service is enabled for Tasker, the %WIN variable won't detect Tasker either. Of course, disabling accessibility prevents Tasker from intercepting what app is running.
It *might* be possible to do what you want using the app factory and making a kid app.

Hello master, I want to ask. Does anyone know how to run Mobile banking for automatic transfers with tasker? So every time I send a special message via TCP Server, the mbanking will transfer automatically.
Thanks...
I guess the most banking apps are closed for external access. Therefore the only way to do automatic transfers with Tasker would be a gestures task, which starts the app, inputs the password, ......

Thank you for the response, I am very beginner in using tasker, can you please give me a complete tutorial on running the commands?
No, sorry. I'm also not an Tasker expert.
There are a lot of settings which are based on your banking app. Like the position of the buttons for the pin, transactions and so on.
Also I'm not sure if it will work. My idea was to set up an profile, which gets active as soon as a SMS comes in. The task will then simulate the needed touchscreen actions to launch your app and execute the transaction.
