Hi,
i am tyring to set a task in tasker to send an SMS to a specific number. this sms is used to pay my parking tickets. the thing is i will be adding this task to a scene or to zooper later, and the text i want to send changes from time to time.
the body of the message is "plate number, categoy, number of hours".
i have 2 plate numbers (mine & wife), there are 2 categories (prime & standard) and number of hours is capped at 8 hours
so it would look like "111AE S 8" or "452RT P 2"
is there a way i can make tasker ask me if i want to send sms for prime or standard location and how many hours?
my initial thinking was to have a scene in tasker that shows me 3 drop down menus for the 3 items (plate, cat. & hours) and then the send button that combines all 3 drop downs. is this possible? or any other way?
thanks
Set a variable, %whichtopay and then always pay %whichtopay but set %whichtopay to whatever u want.
Put a widget, that pops up a list, and when you tap the list, it sets the %whichtopay variable to whatever you clicked then disables itself.
Yah we good bruh

Hello all,
I've been using my E-mail option quite a bit on my Touch Pro lately, and I've noticed that the 5 minute update interval is a bit too long for my taste (despite the option to manually send/receive).
Therefore, I am curious as to whether or not it is possible to make a registry edit, install a program, or in any way add an option to make the update interval less than every 5 minutes (say for example, every 30 seconds)?
Also, whenever there is a new e-mail, there is a notification symbol which appears on the taskbar. Along with that, is it possible to create another registry edit / addition which would allow the phone to:
1) wake up upon new e-mail,
2) make a notification sound upon new e-mail (similar to new SMS), and
3) vibrate upon new e-mail?
FWIW, I'm using a Comcast E-mail account on the Pro.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Just go to Settings - Sounds & Notifications, the notifications tab and change the Event to Messaging: New Email Message. Have 'play sound' checked and choose the sound you want; check Display message on screen and check vibrate. i think that will do it.
As for checking for new emails, you can try this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438970
I have an exchange server so I don't know the answer otherwise. Setting it to less than 5 minutes may lead to a battery drain so if you do that use the scheduler to make it longer (or off) over night.
Thanks for showing me the settings adjustment. I suppose it isn't such a good idea to have the phone check for e-mails THAT often. As long as I can hear when a new e-mail has arrived, it should do the trick for me.

Kiss your battery life goodbye!
There are 2 features I'd like make available. I am posting here to see if they've already been coded, and if not, some guidance on what i how to go about coding them (i have eclipse and the SDK for 1.6 all set up...i just need to know what native android files to modify (im guessing contacts.apk) to get the first item figured out, and then for the second item below, i'd like to see some sample code of how to set ring settings.
1) since most of our new calendar events are to meet with/call people in our contacts list, id like if the context menu for contacts could have a menu item added: Create Event. what would happen when selected is a new calendar event window would pop up, pre-populated with the contact's phone number in the Description field and their name in the Event Name field. the user could then modify these to add details. this mod would save us from having to go to the calendar and create an even to "call joe", only to have the reminder come up later and then have to navigate the contacts to find joe so we can call him. here, the event would have his number preloaded and could be clicked on (like a hyperlink) to load the number into the dialer
how do we hook into the contacts.apk file to make this type of mod? or, is the mod to be done some other way?
2) though we can select different ring tones for different contacts/groups, and we can also set different ring volumes/vibes, it would be nice to have a ring profile that would, say, only let the "family" group ring but stay silent for everyone else. this way, i can put the phone in this mode when going to sleep, but still be available for emergency family phone calls. this is much like the black list/white list app on xda for winmo.
Dude, stop double-clicking that Submit button. The mods are probably tired of deleting your double posts by now.

Hi,
is there any way how to disable auto-detection of numbers in SMS's text, making them inactive and non-underlined? This feature is quite wild and inaccurate e.g. I received a message with date and time like "16.05.10 12:45" and "16.05.2010 12" got underlined and behaves like a phone number 16051012 Or even short numbers of 5 digits gets underlined.
Is it possible to disable it?
Thanks for any advice
Sorry for my bad English.
I purchased a week the sony z3 compact and noticed / discovered these two flaws that on cheaper phones have provided.
1) blocking calls from any contacts or anonymous numbers or numbers not in our section. Now on the phone you can only enable or disable all calls. Which, frankly, use a few.
2) In the call log, it would be very useful, instead of having the key on the right with the arrow symbol, with which, if crushed shows various options, replace it with the contact's photo (which is in the list of contacts), maybe even moving it to the left. And then, again, crushing him alight see the different options that already happens if I press the current arrow.
And then, still in the call log, it would be interesting to divide the calls with the days: example:
Saturday, December 20
call 1
call 2
call 3
etc
etc
Friday December 19
call 1
call 2
etc
etc
or, instead of this solution, group for phone number the various records, without having a long list with numbers / contacts repeated
I hope I explained in the best way possible and above all that we can have such solutions in a possible next update, I'd be very happy.
Hello guys,
I was looking for kids mode like the one from Samsung. Unfortunately my kid's phone is not samsung and i wasnt able to port the application to work on Sony Device.
The main reason for this is that they had a Dialer application for kids which shows no phone number but ONLY the name of the mother/father contacts while calling. I want to use this function to make the phone more secure in case is stolen or robbed. As well it offers to block any other incoming calls except the selected ones.
@ktmom suggested me to try with a Tasker. I've never been experience a similar software for this kind of things.
Could you please gimme some advices or help regarding my needs and suggest me from where to start.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Ho [emoji16]
The plan I would start with is to create a shortcut on the desktop or a notification with call mom (or dad) buttons. Then use tasker to directly dial the numbers (as variables) without having them entered into the phone's contacts.
The trick is the dialer history will keep a history of called numbers, but I think that can be deleted; though we may need one or two plugins to tasker to achieve that reliably.
If this is in line with your goals, then I'll be happy to create a task or two to handle this that you can import. That is easier than teething to develop it yourself as a beginner.
I'm at the airport waiting for my daughter's flight, but let me know if this will work, or any ideas you have.
Sure, let's do it like that with your help. And in the process of developing we can sharpen it.
BTW thank you so much for your help and patience. I do really appreciate your help. ????
I actually just got home. Is there a timeframe for this? I'm thinking Christmas or similar. Otherwise I'll spend some time this weekend to come up with something for you.
This is just a basic set of tasks to create quick dialers to Mom and Dad, without needing the numbers to have been entered into the contacts app.
One task, "create shortcuts", sets two of Tasker's quick setting tiles. One will call Dad, the other will call Mom. The use of the quick settings tiles should help prevent accidental calls and still be convenient.
After importing the linked project, go to the device's quick settings editor and drag the first two Tasker tiles into the active area. The tasks won't actually appear set to the tiles until they are in the active area.
The task, "create shortcuts" should run on import of this project, performing the configuration mentioned above; associating the tiles with the "call mom" and "call dad" tasks.
The icons are set in the respective "call mom" or "call dad" task. To change the icon, enter the task then tap the icon at the bottom and select a new one. The "create shortcuts" task may need to be run again (manually) to update the tile's icon.
You must go to the "dialer" task and edit the value in the "To" field within the first two actions to the appropriate phone numbers.
The left facing arrow at the top left of the screen exits out of the task and saves the changes. You should also make a habit of tapping the checkmark [emoji736] at the top of the screen after saving a task, which saves the changes to Tasker. That checkmark is available only when there are changes to be saved.
This is just a start, hoping to get feedback if this is the right direction for you.

Hey,
thanks a lot for the time you spent for this.
I've tested it and it calls with no issues.
Now we have to make the phone numbers to disappear. Can we put a fixed custom title? This is because it uses the name written in the contact list.
BTW is there an option to drop an icon on the desktop of the phone?
Thanks again for your great help!

Yes, we can create a desktop shortcut. Instead of the tiles?
What do you mean "it uses the name in the contact list"? Do you mean in the call history?
I meant that when I run the call from the tasker it uses the name from the contact book/history. This is not big issue, but it just wondering if it's possible.
Thank you

That is the relationship the phone app has with the contact app. You have to remove the names from the contact app.
I'm confused. I thought the goal here is to obfuscate the phone numbers so if the phone is picked up by a "stranger", the numbers are not evident.
If I was, for example, a stalker, and I took the child's phone to get phone numbers, the first place I would look is in the contacts app. The second place is in the call log. Can you help me understand what is and isn't necessary here.
To create the task to remove the call's history from the history, I have to sort out the contentrovider structure for the phone database. I've explored the text messaging DB, but I need to be on my computer to find the phone DB structure.
