after upgrading my old phone (4.4.2) to my Galaxy S7 (marshmallow) my tasker cant switch mobile data to off.
i have an profile that switches off my mobile data and my wifi at night. In the morning its back on so i dont wake up by stupid mails and whatsapp.
But now on marshmallow that isnt possible anymore.
Anyone got on tip how to make it work?
Only with ROOT.
to bad, i wanted to keep this phone original as you lose warrenty when rooting Samsung.
perhaps the block mode can work for me so i , especially my girlfriend , doesnt get wakes by the phone at night.
Tasker can switch do not disturb for you. It can stop all sound, alarm only, or customize what apps or contacts will ring thru.
The only way to do it without root is to use AutoInput. It would however require the screen to be on and it all around kind of clunky. But it's your best option if you don't want to root.
Thanks!
I will try the do not distub me methode. if thats not working great then i will try Autoimput.
But maybe i just go on and root my S7.

Ok so I have a strange setup that I would like to get working on my MotoX. I have delayed lock installed on my phone because I hate having to input the code every time I pick it up but I need some security on it. Right now I have it lock after 3 minutes of inactivity. So if I'm working on something or texting someone it doesn't keep locking on me. I would like to add the wifi plugin so that my phone will stay unlocked when I am at home. When I am enjoying media at home on my chromecast/roku/bluetooth speaker it is annoying to have to enter the code to make changes. I know netflix and certain apps display the basic controls on the lockscreen but my roku remote app for example would be nice. I can't just leave the phone unlocked whenever it is within range of my WiFi however. I have roomates and a completely vulnerable phone is just asking for trouble. What I would ultimately like to be able to do is have delayed lock keep the lockscreen off when I am on my wifi and activate another app that will password protect certain apps so that I can access the basics while protecting important things like my messages, photos, etc. When i leave home and disconnect from my wifi I would like the lockscreen to engage again via delayed lock but also the individual app codes to turn off as well as i don't want to have to enter two codes to get to my stuff. I know there is probably a way to achieve this but I haven't found a clean way to do it. I understand the best way to do it might be tasker, but I don't have any experience working with tasker.
thanks
after updating my lumia 625 to WP 8.1 beta im having notification problems with both viber and whats app... it seems like when my phone is locked it kind of goes into deep sleep and never gives any notifications for viber and whats app... after unlocking my phone i could sometimes see rush of notifications all at onece.. and sometimes i have to open the app to get the notifications.. its annoying... i bought 625 a week ago and immediately updated to 8.1 beta....its my first WP so im a bit confused.. am i missing something?? or this notification problems have been present from the beginning?? if any one could help i will be grateful as im very depended with those apps.... and people can seem to find me on time due to notification problem....
ps : there is no problem with GSM phone call and message.
Do you have a data plan? By default, WiFi turns off while the screen is off and the phone unplugged, so if you rely on WiFi for data then you won't get notifications until the phone is woken up, plugged in, or you change the WiFi settings.
Guys! SOLVED IT.
Push notifications doesnt work, because (I am almost 100% sure) all of you use Wifi connection only without SIM mobile data usage allowed. I think some guys thought at Microsoft that their phones will be used only with mobile internet packages or at places where there is always signal (sorry norwegians...). Friend of mine has a data package of a random size and she did not turn off data usage on the go, so she had always had the skype, viber calls and notifications at the moment they had been sent - also never understood my problem...
Solution: on Win 8.1 Lumia 532 go to Settings>Lock Screen, where you will see five apps to have rights to show detailed status when the screen is off. Select Skype, Viber, Whatsapp, whatever IM application, and you will be ringed once someone tries to call you via video or voice.
Tested on 532, gonna test it on wife's 550 after my shift.
Solution #2 (if you are not it the remote northern norwegian mountain region): buy at least the smallest monthly data package, when you run out the Mbs, the operator still gives you a small bandwidth that will enable you to get push notifications and also make calls when in WiFi area.
Peace!
So after some concentrated effort and finagling I've been able to get both my phone (Sprint Samsung GS4,) and my Galaxy Gear rolling with Cyanogenmod 10.2 and Null 23, respectively. I'm now beset by the task of trying to make them love one another.
Here's what I can tell so far: The Gear and GS4 do seem to be half-way connected via bluetooth. If I turn the phone off or take the gear out of range it (the gear) will beep and say it has lost connection. The Gear will also pick up phone calls if I receive them.
Nothing else seems to be working. It doesn't trigger on text notifications, does not have internet (I do have internet sharing turned on) and the gear manager crashes whenever I try to access it on my phone so there doesn't seem to be much else I can do with it atm. Google apps won't work (They crash with a 'Goggle Account Manager has closed' error) and I can't access the camera app either ('Gallery has stopped' error).
Anyone have suggestions/ideas on where to start with this?
Tablet talk app works much better for texting than the stock method which i no longer use. I've read you are better off using something like Swaplink over Gear Manager for anything other than Note 3. Internet tethering drains the battery so fast it isn't even worth using in my opinion. Not being able to use the camera would bother me...try installing Camera ICS+ on the Gear and see if that works.
Sprocket app from this forum! That app is the single reason I didn't sell my gear. Send and receive texts, get notification (you choose what notifications you receive on the gear) and if you pay for the key you can use a remote function for your media files.
I use a special application (Blackberry Enterprise Server) on Android and I've had problems with disconnects.
The application opens a VPN back to the network to push email and notifications to the phone. The whole idea of this application is security (VPN) and always on for notifications, email, calendar etc.
So on Marshmallow the app disconnects after an hour or so (closes down the VPN) and won't receive anything until you wake the phone back up again. Totally broken as far as I'm concerned. Happens on my S6 Active and a Blackberry Priv. BB Support sheepishly admits that its a problem and says their workaround is to keep the phone plugged into a charger and the VPN won't disconnect. Total crap!!! They also told me the problem would be fixed on Nougat which would allow them to get to the app and disable the power saving feature for that app which is causing it to disconnect. OK, some hope.
In the meantime I find this app in the play store called "disable doze" and put it on my BB Priv. It stops doze from kicking in and shutting down the VPN. On the priv it actually works. Now my VPN stays connected all the time like it should. I'm ecstatic! I try it on my S6A and it doesn't work. Still getting the VPN disconnected. Bummed because I really like the S6A and want to use that as my DD.
So I come here to XDA and see the NOUGAT beta for S6A and get all excited. I flash it to my phone and set up BB Software. Now I find that the wifi shuts down after 5 minutes on Nougat. I read tons of threads about wifi turning off after 5 minutes disregarding the "always keep wifi on" setting in nougat. So far no way that I can see to get wifi to stay connected.
WTF!!! I totally understand all the power saving stuff to extend battery life, but they put provisions in there to allow those who need to be able to disable. WHY ISN'T IT WORKING? Is this related to the S6A or is it across all hardware? I don't have anything else on Nougat to test.
Any ideas on what else I could try. Love that S6A but if it's not going to stay connected I just can't use it.

Nougats in beta right now for the S6A, this isn't official firmware.
I understand its beta, but flaw like this always seem to find their way into the final builds. I'm reading threads all over the place (not just S6A) about this issue so I don't think it's just a beta thing. I'm not sure I understand why if there is a setting in the wifi to keep it on _always_ including sleep / doze etc that it basically does NOT do that.
Hi guys, I recently switched from a samsung s8 to a Pixel 7 and I wanted to be able to carry some "automations" with me with an NFC Tag.
The automatism is simple: I return home -> the wifi is activated and the ringtone becomes silent. I leave the house -> the wifi is deactivated and the ringtone returns to normal.
With the S8 I've never had any problems.. with the Pixel, when I get home, the ringtone goes silent, but Do Not Disturb is also activated. And there is no way to separate Quiet from Do Not Disturb! Both activate.
I tried with two different programs to modify the nfc tags: a very old version of "Trigger" and the most recent "NFC Tools". But both give the same result: if you activate Silent, you also activate Do Not Disturb! Obviously if I change the ringing mode by hand this doesn't happen.
Advice?! Has anyone encountered this problem?

Before "Trigger" and "NFC Tools", what app were you using?
If anything, I suggest you use -- if you were not using originally anyway -- MacroDroid. It seems to be capable of achieving what your goal is, although I wasn't able to get the NFC tool to set up myself (but that might just be my phone). Although I'm unsure if you really need to use NFC protocol to achieve this versus using geolocation/GPS; you could probably achieve the same thing with a gps trigger...And i'm sure there are other clever ways you can achieve the same goal using the very diverse program.
Worse comes to worst, you could possibly use Tasker -- although that app hasn't really been in active development in a while, I've seen around the forum that people still use it so at the very least it still functioning...
I used to use Trigger... but once it was set up I never used it again (except in the background). But that was 4 years ago.
I think I will try to use MacroDroid. I already use it to enable/disable rotation only on some programs.
Any advice on any modules?
