Auto Respond to SMS with a Glympse

---

Hey guys. I am trying to figure out how I would use Tasker to respond to an SMS with a keyword in it with a Glympse. For example, If someone sent an SMS that contained "where are you?", tasker would send a reply back with a Glympse that the sender could view. I have added a favourite Glympse which checks in at my current location and sends it to the clipboard, and created a shortcut on my Homescreen to the favourite hoping that I would be able to get Tasker to open the shortcut but had no luck with that. The only other way I can think of would be to use an Intent but I have no experience so do not even know how to find out what Intent I would have to use. Any help would be appreciated.

Has anyone managed to make tasker do the following in an ICS ROM?
1. Toggle GPS
2. Toggle data sync?

If yes, please share your knowledge.

Thanks.

Sure have.

Used secure settings to put GPS on when maps is running and GPS off when maps is off. Need to have root access.

Possibly the BEST setup ever???

I've setup my phone with the most awesome setup I think there is - just goes to show - keep it simple!

Whenever I need to go to the boy's room, I turn my phone upside down and put it in my pocket.

Conditions:
Monday-Friday, between 6am-3PM - Check.
Phone orientation - upside down - Check
Silence Ringer & Load Bubble Blast 2

:)

Simple, yet when I'm ready to begin my business, my game is already loaded

I have a problem with a profile if you guys can help me. I set the profile when I'm connected to a specified wireless network the keyguard is set to off. I've done that using Secure Settings. The problem is that is not always working. I mean after a period of time, or after using the phone in some apps the keyguard is on again.

The profile is set like this :

Task : 1. Wait 200 miliseconds
2. Secure Settings Keyguard disabled

Exit Task : 1. Wait 30 seconds
2. Secure Setting Keyguard enabled

Can someone help me? Thank you!

thanks!
I can't appreciate much

hope this helps

It is generally agreed that this program is not he easiest to absorb or get to function right so when you do get something to work DETAILS would be greatly appreciated. with that said let me try to assist you:


1. get secure settings from the market
2. (under "options")all its functions are not available when you download it.
3. You have to go to "helper" and instal it.
4. Go to Tasker

"+" > click check mark (you can add the name later) > choose app (in this case I chose "Maps") > new task > click check mark > "+" > Plug in > Secure Settings > Configuration (click "edit") > (provided that your "helper" status in secure settings is active) Scroll down to "helper actions" > GPS > the next screen will bring you to an "on", "off" "toggle" screen with a memory card,, red X snf "?" at the bottom > press the memory card > (secure settings prompt comes back up) Click green check mark > task/ anonymous prompt comes back up) click green check mark > done.

The good news is that this actually will foce GPS in MAps, Navigation or whatever else you want. The bad news is that from my experience the GPS stays on even after you leave the app . I found that the GPS symbol will leave the notification bar but in your quick settings GPS is still on. *** Trying to find the magic bullet for this to cut off now. I hope this helped.




*** if someone has figured this out could you list the steps in which you got it to work. thanks in advance.

2G / 3G Toggle

---

Just read the entire thread, I'm wowed by many ideas and how they were executed. As many, I just took the plunge to Tasker today and I can't seem to find a way to get Tasker to do what I originally bought it for: Toggle between 2G (EDGE) and 3G (UMTS/H+).

I want two profiles that will benefit from 2G toggling;
- connected to my home's WiFi network.
- low battery (many tweaks, among them going into 2G)


I tried setting up the profile to detected when I'm home:

New Profile "@Home" > Phone > Cell Near
New Task > "WiFi On" > Net > WiFi > On
"+" > Net > Mobile Data 2G/3G

but this last option has an *; "*Mobile Data 2G/3G" and Tasker says "Sorry, this action is unavailable on this device"

I have a Galaxy Note, recently updated to ICS with the Stock ROM, rooted and I've set Tasker as an Administrator. I have the latest version of Tasker from Google Play; 1.2.1u1m

Is there a work around? Do I need to purchase APNdroid, or is there a star-hash (*#) code I can dial to toggle between 2G and 3G?

much appreciated



-------EDIT----------

So I found these codes in the Easter Egg thread.
Went through them, and so far I've found these possible results:

#*2527# = GPRS switching set to (Class 4, 8, 9, 10)
#*3476# = EGSM Activate/Deactivate
#*3273# = EGPRS multislot. (Class 4, 8, 9, 10)
*#301279# HSDPA/HSUPA Control Menu

tried this last one and it didn't work.
