My first post to this forum. I love Tasker. It makes my phone complete. Am here to find out what other creative uses people have had with Tasker.
Here is how I am using it:
I use HTC sense scenes based on where I am - one for home, one for office, one for outside, and some other scenes for fun, social etc.
In each of these scenes, I have a tasker widget, which sets a variable %AtHome (for e.g. ) to 2, and other variables (%AtOffice, %AtOutside) to 1. I use these scenes because I have different apps loaded for them.
My tasker profiles then use these variables heavily.
1) At home, wifi, ringer volume, wifi sleep policy etc.
2) At home, and between 10 to 11 pm remind me some things by tts speech.
3) At home, open sms app for any received message and read it aloud.
4) Shutdown almost everything when battery is less than 30% except when power plugged
5) Every morning, speak out time in interval of 15 minutes till I open a specific app.
6) Enable GPS for some apps when loaded
7) Unlock phone when display on, and set it to lock when display off - i know, its useless, but I dont like swiping to unlock.
8) Go to vibrate when in office.
9) When not at home, vibrate once every hour. When at home, read aloud the time every hour.
10) Disable 3g when display off, enable when on.
11) Open messaging and email apps when new stuff received. Helps to clear out the notification tray.
12) For incoming call, unlock phone and increase brightness
13) At office, reduce media volume to 0 when headset unplugged. Helps at random times when I forget to pause music.
14) No screen timeout for specific apps
15) Every morning, read aloud the weather, high/low and sunrise/sunset.
16) At home, max media volume for music apps.
I know they are a lot, but hv got used to them so much!
