I would love you reviews and suggestions!

You can download a free version from google play:

A full version is also available here:

Expecting your reviews!

Well done. Could you update out to effectively remove duplicated contacts in my address book? Have tried many apps but they are not ao effective.

How good are you in apps regarding the Wi-Fi aspect?

Phones › Re: Meet Ubuntu Phone Os. by Leopantro: 10:18pm On Aug 22, 2013

When Canonical launched its
crowdfunding campaign for the
Ubuntu Edge smartphone last
month it set an ambitious goal:
raising $32 million through
Indiegogo. As it turns out, that
goal was a little too ambitious, as
the campaign has wrapped up
nearly $20 million short. After 30
days, Canonical was able to raise
just over $12.8 million from more
than 27,000 backers.
While the campaign rocketed to
nearly $3.4 million within the first
24 hours, the influx of donations
quickly slowed at that point. It led
Ubuntu to reset the pricing
scheme several times. Under the
original structure, the first 5,000
backers would receive a phone for
$600, while everyone thereafter
would need to pay $830. Limited
tiers of $625, $675, and $725
were eventually added to the mix,
and in the end a $695 tier was
put into place for the remaining
duration of the campaign. Even
with the new tiers, the campaign
stood at only $8.3 million as of
August 7th . It is important to
remember that in the context of
crowdfunded campaigns the
Ubuntu Edge actually has been
quite successful — breaking $12
million is a considerable
achievement — but that's little
consolation when the project
doesn't get funded in the first

a better example

I've got something quite
different: I'm using tasker to
turn my tablet into a motion
sensor for our home
automation system.
The tablet is a wall mounted
control panel for my house. It
can lock doors, turn on lights,
control the HVAC, arm the
alarm, etc. With the help of
Motion Sensor (play store link),
Tasker enhances the
functionality of the control
panel by using the front facing
camera for various functions. I
just got this working last night
but so far, I've got a few
features operating smoothly:
I just got this working last
night, so there are a few small
bugs, but so far it's brilliantly!
Tasker rocks! 5/02/13 3:45pm
4 1 L
Tasker automatically
turns the screen on once
you walk by, which is
handy if you have your
hands full.
Based on the time of day,
the tablet can wake up
and display the most
commonly used apps (i.e.
arm alarm screen in the
morning, turn on media
center in the evening,
etc).
The tablet is mounted in
an area where my other
motion sensors (tied into
the alarm and home
automation system) can't
reach. This means I can
now use it to send home
automation triggers or as
an auxillary motion
sensor for our alarm
system.

ciphoenix: If your phone doesn't have auto mode, get control centre and turn on auto brightness

that's the thing, you don't need to download anything extra. your phone has all the capabilities, just to organise the features together.

here is the perfect example of the full use of tasker. I copied it from lifehacker website

Almost everything tasker for
me is via speech, since I've
always liked the idea of AI
agents that you can converse
with. And since most of what it
does is organise me, I'm using
the SVOX "Oliver" voice, so I
can pretend it's my butler cheesy

So:
I have four levels of verbosity
for the speech - full (when I'm
at home, in the car or have
headphones in), most (any
place I have wifi, so usually a
friends house or similar), some
(anything else), or none (sleep,
calendar entries with "silent"
in the description).
Pulls down my next calendar
entry, and warns me ahead of
time (default 60 minutes, but
can be changed by a delay=X
in the description) every 15
minutes until the event. To
make it more natural, rather
than just saying the exact
minutes, it uses vaguer terms:
a couple of hours, this
afternoon, tomorrow, a quarter
of an hour, etc.
Announces every caller ("X
wishes to speak with you, sir" wink

and text ("X says ...." wink

- Texts
only in full verbosity, phone
calls only in "mostly"
verbosity.
On shake, listens for a set of
voice commands (read out
schedule, start music, set to a
specific verbosity level),
confirms ("Of course, sir" or
variations) and does it.
One of the commands opens a
Scene that lets me set
reminders - they're based on
either an active profile or a
recently active profile, with an
optional time delay. For
example, I can put "Home" in
the active profile box, set a
delay of five minutes to let me
take my shoes off, and a
message of "phone Alex". Then,
five minutes after I get in, the
phone helpfully tells me,
"Remember to phone Alex,
sir."
"Welcome home, sir" when it
detects my home network.
When losing my Work's WiFi
after 5:30pm, will then assume
I'm going to be on the train,
and announce, "We have
reached your destination, sir"
when I get close to my stop
(using cell near).
Uses time to remind me to get
to sleep so I don't stay up all
night on the computer - "May I
suggest retiring for the
evening, sir?"
Uses time, powered state and
consistent darkness levels to
wish me "Good night, sir" and
go into sleep mode.
When in sleep mode, the next
appointment in my calander,
instead of being announced
with the time left, will be
announced with a repeating,
"Good morning, sir, it is time
for ...", starting at volume 0
and repeating one volume
higher until I unplug the
phone.
——
Other non-vocal things include
a learning Wi-Fi auto-on (adds
each cell tower seen to a
variable while connected to
WiFi, and turns on WiFi via a
cell near check on the value of
that variable), a cycling
random quote as a screen
widget pulled fro ma text file,
and a text/missed call Zoom
widget that replies/calls back
on tap

phoinix: Nice, I usually put my backlight on minimum indors to save juice, but I have to manually increase brightness outside, any ideas how I can automate this? I know it has to do with light sensors...

Interesting. You could set up a profile that uses the cell Mast around the places you regularly visit. Thus, when the phone identifies those cell masts it will keep the brightness in indoor mode but when you are out of the cell Mast region it will turn the brightness to outside mode.

Using cell mast Info instead of GPS location would save battery. You would have to read up on how to set it up though

welcome to the world of tasker- making your smartphone smarter.

for examples of profiles and task to try out, check this site
tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index

also search for "pocketables". the guy has some good profiled to use. I recommend you start with the ones you get in the above sites, understand them, then start working on your own.

got two very good profiles last night. Basically, my phone goes into airplane mode from midnight to 5am. however, I set it up to activate mobile data every 15mins to update on various notifications. if the network doesn't come on or network speed is less 15kb/s, the airplane will reactivate and tasker will recheck in 30s and again in 2mins until network comes back on. all these without putting the display on.

also, if I open certain apps the mobile data goes on. if I put on Google maps, both the gps and the mobile data turn on. exiting the apps turn the services off.
