G+_Mick Carson Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Tasker. On the show you asked what we use Tasker for. When in the office ... All calls blocked except for some co-workers and wife/family. Automatically remain unlocked when on office wifi When travelling ... Automatically txt wife when at train station saying that looking to get next train home Switch on updates to google latitude to allow family to track location When on train Txt wife at particular points on journey so she see progress. At several cafes ... automatically check in on Foursquare When home Automatically set volume levels and keep phone unlocked. When unplugging from charging ... report the percentage of battery if only partially charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Julian Chick Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Once you have started playing with tasker then consider some of the plugins as well. They help with things like call blocking, Overall tasker allows you to configure the phone automatically based on its location, time and context. And dont be concerned that it seems complicated. Start with simple tasks and give yourself time .... eventually the options start to make sense :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Julian Chick Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Forgot one on the useful tasks ... if I shake the phone it turns the flash led on. Really useful to save fumbling around to find a torch app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
