HD7 FAQ : Or the thread of what you can and can't do

OK getting a bit bored of seeing the same questions so am going to compile the most frequent questions / requests here.
Can I :
Cut and paste?
ATM no, it's being addressed in the New Year FW update from MS
Use my own custom ringtone?
Not at this time, there are rumours that
the new year patch will add them
that MS is going to nickle and dime users and sell them exlusively through the market
Have media volume set differently to the ringtone?
Currently no, but from the number of people mentioning it, it'll be patched.
Download apps via PC Zune?
Yes! from the Zune software "Thanks for your purchase. Connect your phone to the computer to start the installation now. If you don't connect, the app will be installed on your phone the next time your phone checks for app updates"
Backup Apps to the PC?
No and Yes, currently no there is no way to backup an app to the PC, but when there is a FW update the Zune software takes a copy of the current FW+apps+contacts incase of issues so you can go back, expect to see a more inclusive backup added into the Zune software in a future update.
See if I'm using my data plan?
from anywhere you can see the clock, tap next to the clock, an info bar will drop, showing from left to right signal strength, data, wifi and battery.
Stop it using my data?
Switch data off! Settings / Mobile network / data connection
Also here are settings to stop network roaming and force 3G.
Can I get free tracks from my Zune pass (Eurozone)?
Yes, but unlike the US Zune Pass you don't get to choose them, it seems to be a promote artists feature in Europe, currently I blame coco and Rumer have a free track each to download.
Does it :
have front speakers?
No, the grills are aesthetic and hide the ear speaker and possibly the microphone.
display web page images at a lower resolution?
No, IE will either show the full desktop image or the mobile specific depending on your browser settings.
cycle tracks available via the zune pass?
Yes, it seems that albums get updated with album only tracks to try to encourage purchases, these tracks become unplayable via the PC and your phone the next time you sync it.
Support HSPA+?
No, it is HSDPA compliant which means for most users a theoretical max of 7.2Mbps is possible (remembering to take into account overheads etc) some places in the world could see up to 14Mbps due to network set-up.
Voice text entry?
Currently no, it supports calling contacts, opening apps and voice searches.
What happens
to apps after phone is reset?
There are reports they automatically re-download, my experience is you have to manually download them again, but they are listed as being owned by you.
How do I
Choose a contact picture?
People / Person / Edit (3rd Icon right at bottom) / Tap image
Then use a picture from one of the persons licked sources or choice from your mobile.
Change the tiles?
holding your finger on a tile will cause the other tiles to drop into the background, you can then move the tile to a new position or remove it by clicking the crossed through Pin on the top right, tapping the tile again will place it back down.
If you want to move multiple tiles move your first tile, then instead of tapping it to place it back, tap the next tile you want to move.
To add a tile go to your apps long press and click pin to start

Also:
- Video messages: You cannot create a video from your phone and send it via MMS. You can receive video messages though, and you can forward MMS with video to others.
- Downloading apps: Apps will also automatically download if your phone is set to wirelessly sync, so you don't necessarily need to plug in your phone to your computer to have your phone start downloading.

Endomondo Pro Sports APK

Original Post By Tecnorata from Merida, Venezuela.
Endomondo Pro is an application to monitor and keep a very detailed record of any sport practiced using any phone with Android OS, with this we can measure distance, time, speed, calories consumption and other values ​​that we are interested, I've been using to monitor my mountain bike outings but can be used for other sports, is very simple to use in the app market can get the free version which lacks some features available, such as energy saving function or the Instrument connection via bluetooth as Cardio or cadence meters up and here I leave the pro version that is complete in all its functions Endomondo Pro installed After we find a small green silhouette similar to PacMan in our App Drawer as is then the only downside of this application is not fully translated into Spanish, but this should not pose problem for anyone, since the application is very intuitive to use and easy to understand.
Here you can see the main application screen, clicking on the various fields can be selected readings as well as data that we want to enable the reproduction of music while we exercise as well as select the sport and how we do it is very important to enable GPS to make a proper record of the route traveled, then the GPS is hooked to the satellite readings and track logs are accurate.

I just hope you all will find useful this application to register their sports.

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

Hold the phone! Literally , lol. I just uninstalled from gear and re-installed from the one you posted here in downloads and now I have the connection settings on gear. Now to re-install on phone side and go from there. :victory:
Update: Blah, now when I either set bluetooth on Gear or Phone, I get a force close on each device.

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.

Floating Commander (alpha release) - Premium features

The Past:
I've been working on this app since last 3 months and I'm pretty happy with the progress I made:fingers-crossed:. I was waiting for this day to post the app publicly in the forum which taught me so much:laugh:. Well, some might say this app is completely useless, but other might find it useful. I've considered all kind of users and accordingly added features to make it as productive as possible. This is still an alpha release and you may find several bugs, and I would really appreciate if you guys can report it whenever it crashes:angel:. I'm open to all kind of ideas and feel free to suggest me additional features.
About Floating Commander:
Well, I'm sure you're all are in love with Google Now, but then, so I'm I. But it sucks sometimes, how Google Now can't do many things that I want it to do, may be like setting the brightness of my screen to lets say 50%, changing sound settings and so on.. So, I've tried to accommodate all that in this app. Yes, this is a voice command utility that will do many things which Google Now can't (may be in future, but not now). Moreover, I've seen people who don't like the app simply because it eats up a little bit of data from your data pack and affects the battery aswell. Now, this one also needs data, but just to transform your voice to text, and rest all the features are processed natively and accordingly invoked. Its superfast (atleast on my phone, Galaxy Note 2) and it gets the work done. This app starts a floating widget which can be put on any edge of the screen, or freely (if u choose so in settings), and upon clicking, will invoke a voice recognition utility (Google's own recognizer) to detect your command (English Only for now) and thanks to its SpeechOptimizerEngine, it processes the command very fast and accurately and executes it. You can basically select/de-select each and every feature this app has from its settings and accordingly it''ll take more or less time (which is again negligible). Now, I'm sure there are people who think this is just another bull**** app and they don't need it when they have Google Now. Trust me guys, I have something for you guys aswell. I've put two new options which will be very helpful to most of you, I'm sure. Enable inbuilt "Google Now" mode in settings to launch "Google Now" from any screen using the floating widget, this will completely disable the native feature of the app. Also, another option is "One Touch" mode which can map to any activity, like changing sound profile, opening flash light, running memory cleaner or opening any installed app at the touch of a floating widget from any screen. The battery consumption is almost zero if it is not used, and if used, takes only for the internet data for converting voice to text. There's an additional feature to send the floating widget back to notification area by long clicking (when playing games) and bringing it back by clicking notification area. Its completely add free at the moment and I would definitely try to keep it that way. Overall, this app might or might not be suitable for your, but I would really appreciate if you guys devote some time analyzing and reviewing it here.
Ok, the final and the best thing, I've also tried integrating an offline mode, yes you heard it right.:laugh: But that's only for U.S. folks, since it works on only U.S. English accent. So, please don't review the app badly if it doesn't work offline for others.
Commands to try:
You can launch/open an app by saying:-
- launch <app name | any settings>
- open <app name | any settings>
- start <app name | any settings>
- run <app name | any settings>
Examples:-
- open bluetooth settings
- run cleaner
- launch whatsapp
- open browser
- open messaging
- run flashlight
You can toggle things by saying :-
- turn on <settings name>
- turn off <settings name>
- start <settings name>
- enable <settings name>
- toggle <settings name> on/off
- turn <settings name> on/off
Example:-
- turn on wifi
- start bluetooth
- switch on internet
- enable hotspot
- toggle autobrightness on
- turn rotation on
You can use set commands like:-
- set <settings name> to <value>
- change <settings name> to <value>
Example:-
- set brightness to 60%
- change ringer mode to silent
- change music volume to 80%
- set ringer volume to 100%
- change ringer mode to vibrate
- set all volume to 100%
- set alarm for 8:30 a.m.
- set alarm for 9:00 a.m. every weekday

Miscellanious Commands:-
Examples:-
- clean memory
- dial 12938
- call <contact name>/ <contact number>
- send message to <contact name>/ <contact number> <message>

- show my location
- drive from <location from> to <location to>
- drive to <location to> from <location from>
- show way from <location from>
- navigate to <location>
- navigate from <location> to <location>
These are a few bunch of examples, keep trying combinations and I'm sure most of them will work. Let me know if you have a worthy new command in mind. May be I've just wasted time in this, but I'm really looking forward to encouragement here for further development. And I repeat, I'm not doing it for financial gain.
Screens:-
Credits:
This app uses StandOut library by pingpongboss for creating the floating widget. Many thanks to him.:laugh:
This app also uses an open source application Searchlight without which, I couldn't have added an amazingly looking flash light inbuilt in the app. :laugh:
Apart from these, the application has been coded from scratch and supports only 4.1+
Known Issues: :cyclops:
- I've witnessed a few weird things on Nexus devices (it opens and closes the last opened background activity when voice recognizer is called)
- The floating widget doesn't appear on center when launched for first time (something wrong with my calculations)
- One Touch mode has a few drawbacks (all solved in my latest code which I'll upload in a few days)
- The donation section is mapped to whatsapp (since I was testing something on that and whatsapp has an easy package name:silly
- I haven't changed the min sdk version yet, any device from 1.6 and above can install it, but trust me, that's not gonna work for sure. I'll change it in the next update for sure.
- Theme changer and Widget Types are not working yet, thats easy but uploading an app on playstore takes like 6 hrs.
Overall, I'm hoping I've created something useful and I don't expect any financial profit from it, so please review accordingly. Also, I'm also planning to make it open source in future, but let me think about that again. And yes, this app is just of 270 Kb.
Thanks a lot for wasting your time on reading this. This app doesn't have any help section yet, will add one soon.
Download:
Application is deployed on Playstore in alpha release mode. So, please join the following Google Plus community first:-

Hey, I've never used Utter, but this one is for those who thinks that Google Now isn't enough to do the needful. I know, getting things done through voice is a little bit odd. But sometimes, when you're alone, sleepy, don't want to scroll through menus to get things done, this one really comes in handy. Apart from that, I've also put two additional modes, "Google Now" mode and "One Touch" mode which are really really useful for anybody. Try and let me know what do you think.

Just updated to Floating Commander 1.8
Just updated the apk in Playstore to version 1.8
Now you can toggle settings by just saying "toggle <settings name>.
Hope you guys like it.

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 kaser, as you recommended autowear do you have any experience with it as i can't get my head round it and there isn't much on YouTube or Google to help out.

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
