Best anti-theft Tasker profile - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Hello guys, let's get right into it.
It's not just one profile, they are multiple profiles that work together.
So when your phone gets stolen there's pretty much nothing u can do if u have left ur data and GPS off, Tasker solves all of this. Btw I have a nexus 5 running android 7.1 NDE63P
Profile1: when my phone receives a text saying "gps", it activates it using SECURE SETTINGS working along with Tasker (root is required btw)
Profile2: when phone receives text saying " data", it obviously enables data through a shell command, the code is "svc data enable"
Profile3: when it receives a text saying "ring", it starts ringing like it has got no brain, I have an app installed called VOLUME LOCK, and what it does is it simply lets u set up your volume for (RINGER, ALARM, MEDIA) (in the Volume Lock app), and it locks them, so when the app is running u can not turn down the volume of anything, and I just force stop the app, and the first thing Tasker does after receiving the text that says " ring" is it launches the app, so Tasker goes like this ( Launch app, play music through media, play ringtone through ringer, play alarm ringtone through alarm) THIS IS USEFUL IF YOU LOST YOUR PHONE INSIDE THE HOUSE OR IF U WANNA FREAK OUT THE THIEF BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY TO SHUT IT OFF (I even blocked power menu from lock screen using an app called SMART LOCKSCREEN PROTECTOR) and most people don't know that u can reboot phone by holding the power button for 10 seconds, so we're pretty safe here
Profile3: when phone receives text saying "dnd", Tasker simply puts phone on do not disturb if u just want to track your phone using ANDROID DEVICE MANAGER from a PC or something
I have all of these profiles backed up, just give me ur email and I'll happily send to you
And if u need any more explanation don't hesitate to ask.

I have created a project called '[PROJECT] Anti-Theft System'.
Please, help us to make it bigger, so if you can post your settings on there. . .

I have created a similar anti-theft protection like 'ziko900' that talks us on this thread.
Check out --> '[PROJECT] Anti-Theft System'

I also have one but only one profile and one task, it's all there but it lacks the ringer lock (in fact, mine does not make a noice except for the incomming message but i like the ringer lock idea).
It does ceveral checks on the different states of the GPS, Mobile Data and Wifi and turns them on accordingly. Then waits a while (for the GPS to get a fix), then gets the location and checks this against the last known one.
If the GPS get's a fix, the data is stored in variables, then it does the same for the mobile data location and then collects Wifi data.
Then this data is verified against the last known position and an SMS is generated which contains all this data (if it can't get a GPS or Mobile Data fix it also mentions this in the SMS) including battery level, active provider and all Wifi data it can get.
Then the SMS is send and then the phone is put back into it's previous state it was in (this last part is done to not interfere with other profiles i have currently running and for testing purposes).
I would like to include a bit more into this profile but that's for later.
Due to all the waiting and the timeouts in getting the location data, it can take up to 10 mins before a return SMS is received.
Now, it only works decently when you can get a GPS or Mobile Data fix. Otherwise the data returned isn't much of any value. Same goes for all those find my phone apps. If they don't get a location fix, they are not able to track your phone.

I have recently started using Tasker and I'm amazed at some of the things it can do (no root) and I'd be grateful for the profiles for dnd as I could definitely use it. If u have any other profiles u think are cool I will check them out. So far all I have it doing is using greenify to hibernate automatically and linking to my usual WiFi networks etc. Still trying to work out how to change to my WiFi when I lose my mobile data connection at home (for WiFi calling)

Can u send me the link my email [email protected]

Awesome

I love it man . the way you have backed up your phone for anti theft , thats amazing ..
If you can send me that backup on my email address - [email protected] , i would really appreciate that

Great Work
Can you please send me the link at
[email protected]

I really appreciate your work. Please send me your profiles.. [email protected]

Any way to send a sms to predefined number in case the SIM gets changed automatically?
That would be the best anti theft plugin as the thief firstly throws the old SIM away. Which actually renders these plugins useless.

send me also
my email id is [email protected]

What if the thief changed the SIM card? Or what if the thief removed the SIM card? What is your suggestion in that case?

Hi please send it to me [email protected]

Kindly forward me the link.

[Q] Keep Trillian alive (in background)

Ive been trying out the new chat client from trillian and i have to say its great. only thing that bugs me and a few other people is that it doesnt stay in background like ebuddy. is there any app or hack of some sort that can keep all this app in background?
They need to code it right.
yeah i figured that much but just looking for a temporary solution to the problem...
also i dont get how PUSH emails work... is it after you get signed off, or when you exit the app (ie: hit home button)?
Hitting Home button doesn't exit the app, unless it's programmed to exit by itself when it's going to the background. That might be the problem with Trillian client - if it's not programmed correctly and dropping connections or doing something of the sort when going to the background, then the OS can't do anything about it.
If you sign off, I believe push mails stop, so you need the app to be running to receive the push. Not sure, though.
The push emails come into play when you select "Suspend" rather than "Sign Off".

Send SMS Messages from tablet via Bluetooth via Android Phone

I've googled and googled and only kinda found something similar but it's only in source code (don't know how to compile) and doesn't appear finished...
Is there an app that will allow me to send SMS messages using my tablet, which sends over bluetooth to my phone, which then sends the SMS message out into SMS land?
Thanks!
Why to bother??? Use email to send SMS.
For instance if I need to send SMS to my phone using ANY computer (including G-tab), the way to do it is (Example for T-mobile): [email protected].
Where XXX-XXX-XXXX is your phone number.
I think it has to work with any provider, although @ part will differ from carrier to carrier.
Hope it helps.
I'm very familiar with that ability and you're right, that is one solution but not really one I'm looking for.
I'm really looking for an app for my tablet that is extremely similar to a standard sms app that will work off of my contacts list etc etc. Anyone else care to share their 2 cents?
(Assumes you're on a network and in USA)
Get a Google Voice Account and use the app to SMS.
Yep, another solution.
Anybody know of an app that does what I'm asking rather than just a workaround?
Example: ai.kittywolf.net/index.php/SMS_via_BlueTooth
Yeah man, there are a bunch of solutions. I like the google voice idea.

Okay, right, so as I've specified I'm looking specifically for an app that specifically does sms via bluetooth via phone... this is not google voice and it's not email to sms...
Anybody have anything to add regard my specific question rather than something to do with a workaround?
Just want to put this out there.
With Google Voice you can send SMS txt to your contacts for FREE!
No need for BT because you would use your wi-fi tether option on your android phone in the event you're not in an area where you can connect to the internet with out tethering to your phone.
Still not what I'm asking for but I appreciate the suggestion for google voice. My problem with google voice basically centers around the phone number. I would have to port my existing cell number to gv and get a new cell phone number (also $20 for the port). I don't want to get a new phone number and I don't really want to commit to the extent that i'm porting my beloved phone number to google.
All I want is an app... extremely simple concept and my guess is that the programming isn't terribly difficult...
The response you are looking for is
NO!
The reason is no bluetooth DUN support in the gtab kernels. You always get a paired but not connected via bluetooth.
If you really want to use your phone you need to tether the gtab to the phone (plenty of options - search is the key), and then use handcent or similar.

Heres a thread I started in the Xoom section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977688
Basically my idea, which I outlined in there is as follows:
I've been thinking about this alot over the past couple of days even to the point that I began to investigate and play around with the Android SDK to see what I might be able to do, which is not alot at the moment.
I thought of this app functioning as follows:
1) We currently have a bunch of applications that allow the user to view and respond to their text messages through an interface on the browser or computer application using an app on the phone that "broadcasts" the messaging features of the phone out over either WiFi or bluetooth. (For example, the ones mentioned earlier in this thread.)
2) We also have something called "Remote Notifier" that sends out a "ping" when a new message is received to a listening service on a computer which notifies the user on the desktop.
3) If the existing functionality of those two are combined, we have an application that can put together a list of the messages on the phone (primary location), send it out to a secondary location (in this case a tablet), while also notifying the secondary location (tablet) of a new message received.
The app on the phone also gives the secondary location the ability to respond and edit the message list on the phone.
4) The second piece of the equation we would need is an app for the tablet, preferably optimized for the screen size in a 5manner similar to the way Gmail and the native email client handle messaging, (with a list of messages on the left, and the conversation view on the right) that allows the user to browse their messages on the phone and reply within the app.
If the app on the tablet could "look" to the phone as the service provider instead of the network, I could even see notifications being created from within that app and displayed on the tablet just as if it was actually receiving the texts itself.

I would appreciate any and all help or comments relating to the idea. I think i'll repost it in the main android apps section, since really its not specific to any one tablet.
try this
http://www.kakao.com/talk/en
to the op i totally understand what u want and am also interested.
pairing the tablet with android phone using bluetooth so when u received sms you get notified in your tablet an you be able to replay using your tablet wich will make the phone send this message without u having to remove ur phone from your pocket.
all the solutions mentioned are using wifi, which is a different thing.
i currently use a combination of apps to achieve wifi sms connectivity
remoteSMS + sms2Email buddy. (for notification) this works well in home wifi.
i would be very interested in a blutooth solution (it might be crippled cz it has to be close, but it doesnt need data connectivity chargs)
so +1 for the requesr, please let me know if u found a solution
Well thanks for agreeing with me that it's not a dumb request... No luck so far... keep ya posted if I come up with something.
its not dump at all, .. it has an advantage of not using any wifi / 3g data connecitivty, it would be like having a PadPhone (sms PadPhone)
and actually its not that hard as someone said.
the bluetooth does not have to have an sms api for the app to work, the tablet app could send a text file and the phone app receives the text file, parses it and send a message using the sms api (normal apps can use sms api) and vice versa for receiving an sms .. app gets a copy of the sms received, put it in a text file, sends it to the tablet app using bluetooth, tablet app parses the file and shows it.
i would start developing it but it would take me a long time as am sill noobish in android development, ... if someone could take the lead let me know i might be able to help a little.

Try "Sync SMS"
It still requires wifi, but can send and receive sms's from your tablet via your phone.
Any SMS you receive will go to both your phone and tablet. You can reply from either phone or tablet.
It requires a free Dropbox account.
The whole process of transferring sms's back and forth takes about 20_30 seconds and requires no action on your part.
However in the end I just got a separate Google voice number for my g-tablet and use that.

I understand what you are looking for and it would be nice to have, to be able to use your tablet wherever you are without worrying about wifi connection. But like you said so far there is nothing.
Also you don't have to port your existing number to GV, I use the same cell number I have used for years on my cell phone and got a separate number for my tablet there was no porting or charge involved.

the app for that is on the market now, its called "bluetooth sms" its 1.99 though but it has a nice honeycomb interface.

Issues? Add them to this list...

Okay, so since I'm having a few kind of big issues, I thought I'd start a list. If anyone has any solutions, please speak up! Yes, I'm rooted, but that's it. I'm running the stock ROM, and these issues existed before I rooted.
1) Silence mode doesn't work. I can get it to go to vibrate mode only by using the hardware keys; setting it in Settings or through a toggle doesn't work, despite the icons showing in the status bar. When on Silent, the phone still vibrates (and sometimes makes sounds still). This is a pain at night, however, since I've gotten Vibrate to work consistently using the volume keys, I put "Do Not Disturb Me" on my phone for night, and that properly silences the phone. The bonus there is I can schedule DND times.
2) I can't save incoming pictures from MMS. In Messaging, I'm not even given the option to, but I use Chat Heads anyway through FB Messenger. When I open an image there, I'm given the option to save it, but I get an error every time that it can't be saved. It's kind of frustrating.
3) Google Photos Sync doesn't work. It's checked in my sync settings, but unlike every other Android device I've owned, online albums don't show in Gallery.
Okay, the picture saving issue is related to Facebook Messenger. I'm seeing the same issue on my LG Optimius G. However, it doesn't look like you can save pictures using the stock Messaging app anyway, so I installed Go SMS Pro to open MMS messages if I need to save photos. I had to turn off it handling SMS and suppressing other apps' notifications, but now I have a workable solution to that until Facebook updates Messenger.
For the record, I've heard from an app developer that there is a firmware issue with many HTC devices that prevents them from switching volume states correctly when the device is playing audio streams like music or podcasts. In my case, this prevents Locale from silencing my phone when I get to work because I'm always listening to podcasts in the morning when I arrive, so the state transition fails, and I have to manually change it after stopping my podcast.

Hmm, I could see that, but it fails even if I'm not doing anything with the phone.
After the OTA, I'm still having the silence bug when using a toggle or WidgetLocker, but I can successfully get it to truly silence using the volume keys. I'll take that, especially since I don't think that's a bug everyone's experiencing anyway. Still not getting online albums in Gallery.
-Can't share files via bluetooth, theoption simply isn't available in the share menu
-All received messages play as slideshows, and not in full screen when clicked on

Google Messenger not turning display on ?

I started using Google Messenger recently, and one thing I noticed, is that when the phone is off to the side, and I get a new text message, the screen doesn't pop on, like it did with stock Messages and Textra.
Is there some Settings somewhere I need to enable that ?

From my experience, you need the Tasker app and set up a profile to turn the screen on. That is the only way I have found that works consistently. You will also need the Secure Settings app.
The Tasker app can seem overwhelming, but if you take your time and read some of the help files, it is actually pretty easy. I use the same app to turn my phone to vibrate when the phone links to my work wifi.

Incoming call takes full screen preventing any activity -> looking for another app

Dear friends,
I would like the incoming call (while the phone is not in use) to appear as a popup or at least allow me to ignore it.
For now, if the note8 is not in use, the incoming call takes full screen and prevent any activity until I reject or answer it. This issue is extremely annoying as I just want to be able to ignore the call = put in background etc. and let's say unlock the phone with fingerprint and open home screen to check notifications etc.
I could not find any app which allows this option, any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Just press the home button. The phone app will be minimized while the phone is still ringing. You can then do other things on the phone.

My issue with pressing the Home button is that it also dismisses anything that I'm working on. I'm sometimes in the middle of a lovely YouTube video or movie when I get these annoying calls that I can always return at a later time. I want the thing I'm looking at presently to remain on-screen and continue to function as normal. Incoming calls disrupt Whatsapp voice notes I'm recording and Camera videos I'm recording with the native camera app.
