G+_Ralph Broom Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Tasker jobs: 1. near the work wifi: silence the ringer 2. connected to the car bluetooth:max volume, start beyondpod (so it's the current sound app to receive controls) 3. on disconnect of bluetooth: reset the bluetooth (since it often drops connection to my ford sync) 4. on headphone plugin: set volume to a safe level 5. when ingress is running: set screen timeout to 1hr.

G+_Paul Darr Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I've considered getting tasker just to do some multiple tasks with an NFC tag in places like my car, desk, nightstand, ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_John Flinchbaugh Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I've not seen that Tasker had any NFC capabilities, but I think I've heard good things about NFC Task Launcher. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jwsoft.nfcactionlauncher&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5qd3NvZnQubmZjYWN0aW9ubGF1bmNoZXIiXQ..

G+_Paul Darr Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I had seen a few blog posts mentioning using tasker for some complicated multistep setups but I have not looked into them too far. After looking at NFC Task launcher it appears it will do everything I want. One task I was thinking of was upon entering my car to have my phone turn on bluetooth, start playing BeyondPod and to text my wife that I am coming/going.

G+_John Flinchbaugh Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 That would be really slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Christopher Quale Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Great topic! NFC + tasker is a good combo; NFC task launcher can launch Tasker tasks. I have two NFC stickers in the car - one on the phone mount that launches tasker task to turn on Bluetooth, media volume up, open menu of audio apps (podcast, music, audiobook). Another sticker is by the door which turns off Bluetooth, sets volumes (alert and media), stops media and turns off wifi. A sticker by my desk launches the work task: wifi on, all alerts to vibrate. The power toggles app also allows you to put tasker tasks on the pull down notification area for quick access. So much fun! This stuff is why I use Android!
