Airplane mode on when in specific location - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Hello,
Would someone be kind enough to post instructions on this please (like I'm a 6 year old - I'm 50 . I have a non-rooted S9 on Oreo.
Thanks for any help.

Actually, it would also be ok to have airplane mode automatically switch on whenever I connect to my home network. Whichever is easier really.

Thanks. Unfortunately that doesnt give me step by step instructions on how to enable wifi mode once I connect to my home network (without then disabling home network). I wasnt joking when I said it needed to be for a 5 year old

When it comes to determining ones location, often a good idea to explore would be to use two different sized auto location geo fences and cross-reference them.

So actually I need Tasker to change from 2G to 4G when leaving a certain location. Is that possible and would someone be kind enough to give me step by step instructions
Alternatively, if its easier could Tasker make 4G go to 2G when my home wifi is activated. Both scenarios achieve the same thing.

Thanks for any help.

The best choice to disable/enable airplane mode without root into Samsung Galaxy is through Routine (Good Lock 2018 plugin) or Bixby Routines

Auto 3g on off with the screen

I want to ask if anyone knows any application
or may develop
Who works as follows
to turn off 3g
turning off the display
or
by blocking mobile
then activate 3g
to turn the screen
or
to unlock the phone
I say this because, and found that leaving 3G enabled
my battery drains very fast
and annoying on and off every time I turn the mobile screen
Sorry for my bad English
I hope you understand
or
3g on = display on
3g off = off screen
Look = 3g off
unlock = 3g on
For me it would be very useful
This topic should be in Q&A or Themes and Apps. That said, try Tasker: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/

Thanks friend
After a while configuring the application to achieve
working properly
anyway
I insist that it would be more practical
an app that focuses on the function
and consume fewer resources
would also be good
to do tethering, via USB or Wi-Fi
not disconnect
Really would be very appreciated
someone who is willing
encoding application that meets these functions

Check tasker out... it's a paid app... but it seems almost endless uses...

Auto-switch between wi-fi and network app?

Hi everyone @XDA,
I'm wondering if there's any application or workaround that will let my phone auto switch between network and wi-fi.
At the moment, I have to do these 7 steps before I leave home/office:
Step 1: Pick up phone
Step 2: Click trackbutton or power to turn it on
Step 3: Drag down screen lock
Step 4: Enter pattern lock key
Step 5: Tap 'Wi-fi' icon to switch off wifi
Step 6: Tap 'Network' icon to switch on network
Step 7: Open door and leave
I want to do it all in 1 step:
Step 1: Pick up phone, coffee and leave (with all the other stuffs running in the background)
Perhaps a workaround that can remember a particular wi-fi profile (ie. Home, etc) to connect, and if I lose that range, then it will automatically switch on the network data plan I have.
I'm guessing that this kind of app/workaround will be running in the background and it'll be great if it isn't too battery consuming.
Thank you everyone, I hope this thread may be useful to some of you too.

You need tasker you can set it up to turn WiFi and or mobile network on or off by gps location
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
Thanks for the response eljefe27.
The solution you provided would require GPS to be on at all times, am I right? I think that would be battery consuming right? Perhaps something more like, the phone would recognize saved wi-fi settings/locations/name — then switches to mobile network once it is out of range.
By the way I'm quite interested to get to know tasker, would you please provide a link or thread that discusses tasker? I tried searching but couldn't find any.
Thanks again!

You want this: auto wifi toggle
You can also use the long-press wifi toggle, if you want a one press manual method.

yeah gps has to be on but you can also also set up profiles to do what you need depending on what time it is
I prefer droid wall. Not only does it help pass off from wifi to network data seamlessly, but you can also select which apps you want to access the network and which ones you done. Thus you can allow apps like xda, opera mini, browser, and google voice search to run over 3g when you aren't in wifi range but prevent data heavy apps like pandora from screwing you if you accidentally leave it open or something. Then you can set droid wall to automatically allow all apps to access the net when connected over wifi. Not sure if this is quite what you're looking for, but it suites my needs very well.

Turning gsm radio off PERMANENTLY?

Hello all!
I was wondering of there is any way to switch.off.the gsm radio of the tab completely and permanently.
I found a solution using service code in the dialer but after resrtarting the device the annoying icon comes back onto the status.bar.
Thanks in advance!

Seen that there are no updates here so I thought I'd stop by and ask how you made out?
If you still haven't done anything about it, have a look at this post
Just got a possible solution from frgking12!
I'll post it here if someone would like to try it:
I used Llama to create an Event called "Start Up" which will automatically turn Airplane Mode ON, wait 1 minute, then turn Wifi ON. This essentially makes it a Wifi only device and conserves battery life. Here are my Llama settings:
Conditions -
Phone Reboot > After Start up
Actions -
Toggle Airplane Mode > Airplane Mode On
Queue another event >
Conditions
Event name > WiFi on
Queue Delay > 1 minute
Actions
Toggle Wifi > WiFi On
Thanks to frgking12 again!
this method of turning airplane mode on and then enabling wifi also makes it so that bluetooth is disabled (and therefor won't work for my needs as I often use my apple wireless (bluetooth) keyboard with it.
unfortunately, it looks as if the post referenced by theREDlegion is a temporary fix that must be done each time you restart.
if anyone has an alternative, I too would appreciate the ability to turn off the gsm radio (and save battery life) as I too have a tmobile sgt and I also choose not to subscrube to 3g service but would rather use wifi all the time.
thanks in advance

My reference was only for the OP's original request which is an easy way to disable the GSM radio, and EASILY revert back to it working, nothing permanent. There are also widgets to do this but some of them are buggy. The fix outlined works well, the average tab user does not shut off their tabs regularly only the screen. The OP will not find that this is something they would be doing constantly. There are also scripts that can be run at boot, or apps such as Tasker which can automate these tasks.
A permanent fix would be to flash a ROM without a modem, but I'm not sure how you would get rid of the existing one. I'm sure some searching would get you places.

ooh, that's an interesting idea. shouldn't it just be a matter of restocking the tab, then flashing overcome (or any other rom of your choice that doesn't integrate the modem software), and simply choosing to not install a radio at that point?
I might experiment with that at some point (has anybody else tried it?)

[Q] Is there an app that will turn on Wifi and Switch

the Network to 2G when you get home. I am having trouble getting phone calls at home with WIFI on and LTE enabled. There is some kind of issue with some phones that seems to send phone calls directly to voicemail when you have bot WIFI and LTE enabled at the same time. I have never used Tasker, would that be possible to set up this way? Do you guys know of any app that will do that automatically. Thanks in advance for help or feedback.

It looks like learning tasker would be my best bet to do what I need. I have been reading up and watching some videos on tasker and it is an amazing tool. A lot to learn but for the simple tasks that I want it sholuld not be to hard to setup. Thanks for the reply
Tasker won't switch your lte on and off with the stock Rom, but it will control WiFi and Bluetooth, and you will be able to set up a location based profile to do it automatically.

Okay, I have been looking over Tasker, it does so much it quickly intimitades new users like me lol. Thanks that answers my question and I appreciate your post.
I had the same problem with Tasker. Even with some of the tutorials, they steps they used must have been for an older version as they didn't even match what I was seeing on the screen.
If you want to try a much simpler interface try out Locale. Its the same concept, but the interface is a LOT easier to understand for newcomers. I have mine set using location to turn on WiFi/off BT/set ringers to 10% volume/check into FourSquare when I get to work, turn on BT/off WiFi/Open Google Listen & GasBuddy when I get in the car and such. Most of the plug-ins you can use with Tasker can also be used with Locale too.
However, I suspect what you are wanting to do would require a plug-in as it is a sort of advanced procedure but maybe if you find some app that will allow turning off 4G, you could at least have it open the app or toggle to turn it on and off as you leave home - if you can't have it happen automatically.

My understanding is that Google, since Jelly Bean, has pulled the API's for turning off radios and GPS (just as they have with battery stats in 4.4) in the interest of more secure devices. So without root, and in some cases something other than the stock rom, programmatical access to these settings is no longer possible.

Okay, that may be part of my trouble no root yet. This is the first phone I have not rooted since coming to android. I probably should have gotten the Dev Moto but I was stubborn and wanted to pick my design:silly:
Tasker should be able to do some of what you need, but as others have mentioned you will at the very least need root to get it working.

On the stock Moto X (XT-1053) you can turn GPS on/off via Tasker without root or using Secure Settings. It was a delight to see this, and not get the GPS nag screens I've previously gotten on a SGS3 (Verizon). Would have to play around, but you might be able to execute an activity or shortcut in Tasker that brings up the settings screen where you can choose 2G data and then script a screen tap in just the right place. Essentially automating the actions you'd take doing it manually. Not as pretty as a direct setting, but Tasker can execute this kind of thing very fast so it's of little bother to see it flash by on your screen.

OK - Just made a task which turns on GPS waits several seconds and turns it off. Verified it was actually on/off when it said it was on. I'm running 4.2.2. My son "upgraded" to 4.4 on his Moto X, and Tasker GPS manipulation doesn't work on his. I didn't root, and verified as much with root checker, so it seems this is an "upgraded" feature in 4.4.
I'd consider rooting, but do like some of the Moto rom features so don't really want to move to an alternate rom & not wild about losing warranty. Maybe a little off topic, but if you root 4.2.2 and latter upgrade to some 4.4.x release, will you end up losing root?

Interesting... My recollection is this was disabled under JB on my Nexus 4. I didn't have 4.2.2 on my Moto X long enough to test.
Can you toggle airplane mode using tasker?
Off topic for here but a quick question. Would this be a good root quide to use. It seems pretty straightforward to understand and do. http://theunlockr.com/2013/12/11/root-motorola-moto-x-running-android-4-4-kitkat/ That site has been around and I think it is reputable but wanted to check.
Dunno, but I am not sure you're gonna be able to toggle LTE even if rooted. At least the description of Secure Settings suggests you can't without a custom rom.
If you turn off mobile data, does that solve your incoming call issue?

Automatically turn on mobile hotspot when phone connnects to a bluetooth device

I've been trying to look for a simple solution to automatically turn on my Note 9's mobile hotspot when I get into my car. Unfortunately, I can't find any reliable working solutions. Especially, since it's impossible to root my phone (Verizon). I tried Macrodroid. The method it provides seems to only support old phones from a few years ago.
Are there any clever ways at all to automatically turn on the mobile hotspot on my phone when I go into my car? I don't mind occasionally manually turn on the hotspot. However, it's not a reasonable solution to manually turn on the mobile hotspot every single time I get into my car.

Thanks for the quick reply back. I was under the impression that Tasker can't do this anymore on newer Android OS's (8.1 and newer); at least, not on Samsung phones.. even with the "Nougat+ Tasker Tethering Control" plugin.
Has something changed that allows Tasker to work? Is there a new beta that allows this without rooting? If so, could you please point me to the URL that talks about this? I couldn't find it.

Hmm... doing this manually every single time isn't really feasible for me. It would be no different than toggling the mobile hotspot via the notification bar or telling Bixby to turn it on/off... it's still a manual process that I'm bound to forget to do.

I just set up a quick Tasker task to see if hotspot would turn on and it does, I'm not rooted.
This can be done with tasker, but I'm not sure it will work with the screen off (perhaps tasker can turn on the screen, though).
Create a task that does the following:
1. Turn off wifi
2. Launch Bixby voice (the 2nd entry)
3. Use autoinput to tap the keyboard icon at bottom left once Bixby voice is open.
4. Type "enable mobile hotspot".
I haven't yet found a better way to have tasker access Bixby for sending commands. Perhaps there's an intent or something we could use.
EDIT: I just tried creating a quick command, and using the Bixby button while screen off, was prompted to unlock the phone first. It would be amazing to utilize Bixby with Tasker, without unlocking the screen. Anyways, good luck.
Tasker is able to turn WiFi hotspot on perfectly with the screen off. No need to mess with Bixby.
If you're not using pie, Samsung good lock 2018 has "routines". I use for sounds profiles entering and exiting the work bubble.

I know this might be kinda late but, I came here for the same thing with an S9 not rooted. i tried both Macrodroid and Trigger but they weren't any help, then I downloaded tasker and followed this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXzHoQJCx9M , i added another exit task to turn on wifi and that way I have it the way it was before entering the car once I exit.

The point for me was that it was automated, the Bixby button does work, but its just as fast in that case to pull down your notification shade and toggle it yourself. I just posted a response to someone else, Good Lock, Routines is the answer. See above.

I totally did, someone helped in the Note 9 subreddit. The answer is Good Lock, which is, and of itself, bad ass. The Routines App in Good Lock does it, easy peasy!
For OP credit, the thread is here. If you use Reddit, please upvote his reply.
An article and download link on Good Lock is here.

How do you set Routines to turn off the hotspot when you disconnect from the car bluetooth?

You don't have to. Pie turns it off after a minute or two with nothing connected. See here
